Everyone’s attention was fixed on the person who had just entered.A black and silver mask covered his face, revealing only his bright yellow eyes. The figure walked forward slowly, his presence impossible to ignore.Not only his face but most of his body was concealed beneath a thick, flowing cloak.Most people had already assumed he was male—and they were right.A strange and mysterious aura radiated from him.It wasn’t the most formidable presence so far, but it was certainly one of the most notable.The light-blue-haired guy, along with other prominent individuals, glanced at him briefly before returning to what they were doing.He could feel the weight of the stares on him, which meant his plan to make a strong first impression had succeeded.Art smiled inwardly as his gaze swept across the room, eventually finding a suitable spot. He made his way there and sat down.He was buzzing with excitement, like a twelve-year-old about to open birthday presents.He hadn’t had any chance t

Hurried footsteps echoed through a corridor, each one a sharp reminder of how much still needed to be done.The footsteps belonged to a man who barely registered the sound. His mind was far too preoccupied, and his body showed clear signs of exhaustion. As he moved, clipboards levitated around him. With a pen in hand, he scribbled quickly on the one before him, handing it to the assistant trailing behind—who was already weighed down with stacks of papers and documents—before grabbing another. Over and over, he repeated the process.One clipboard reported incomplete formations. Another flagged a lack of security in the northwest. This man was the event overseer of the Grand Magus Test. Today was shaping up to be one of the busiest days of his life.The Grand Magus Test was held every two years, and he had already made the usual preparations.But yesterday, everything changed.Word arrived that, instead of sending representatives, the leaders of the top three guilds were attending in

Garron walked into a smaller door within the room.Art assumed it must be where he kept his most valuable items, as strong waves of mana surged out the moment the door opened—only to weaken once Garron stepped inside. Some kind of safety mechanism, most likely.Garron returned about a minute later, a box in hand.Art's gaze locked onto it.This time, the box was pitch black. Strangely, he couldn’t sense anything from it—but he waited patiently.Garron placed it on a smaller table near the edge of the room."Here. Open it."This was his first high-end project since the death of Rena, the former Third Sword.During its creation, he’d realized just how rusty he’d become over the five years without practice.He’d needed to pause at a crucial point in the crafting process and hone his skills on lesser works before returning to the mask. The knowledge he’d begun to grasp from the book Art had given him made a noticeable difference.Much of the ancient information on craftsmanship and alchem

"How did he find out?" Art mumbled while chewing on a fruit. Garron had seen right through him before leaving—clearly, a man who'd dealt with plenty of children and teenagers in his life.Night had fallen, and the synchronized chorus of insects performed a gentle orchestral hum across the forest.Art was currently lying on the thick branch of a large tree, his gaze fixed on the dark sky overhead.This tree would serve as his home for the night, as he had decided not to return to Yuh’s family house. At this point, there wasn’t much reason to go back.Maybe they were expecting him tonight, which, disappointing them on his part, wasn’t great—but sometimes, plans got ruined by circumstance.After everything he had learned, wandering around—especially at night—wouldn’t be the safest move for him anymore.He stared down at the fruit in his hand, his expression shifting into a frown. Not long ago, he was indulging in mouth-watering meals and warm beds. Now, he was stuck with fruit.Sure, he

"I'm sorry for your loss. But I think you're making a mistake," Art said firmly. "You decided to throw your talent away because she was killed? Isn't that the same as letting her killer go free?"Garron's face dropped. "You never justified her death. Her killer must be out there, living quite the life.""You think I'm okay with that? There’s nothing I can do!" Garron burst out in a mix of sadness and frustration. "Trying to get revenge would only lead to more death.""And why is that?" Art pressed.Garron let out a sigh. "That armor I made for her, along with the artifacts, were the best I could produce. If her opponent destroyed even those... then anything else I make would be useless.""So, let me get this straight. You stopped crafting because you feel guilty for causing Jira's mother’s death, and you think your skills aren’t good enough to help bring her killer to justice?"Seeing no response, Art shook his head in disappointment. "So if there was a chance to help get rid of the

Art navigated more carefully as he searched for the blacksmith.He couldn’t afford to reveal his identity. He paid close attention to his surroundings, making sure he wasn’t being followed.So far, nothing seemed out of place.But he knew his abilities in the outside world still weren’t sharp enough to trust completely.It took longer than if he had just asked openly, but he finally found the building the boy described. A massive, bleached dragon skull hung above the door, suspended by chains that glowed faintly with runic symbols. Its eye sockets flickered with soft blue light, as if watching everyone nearby.He glanced around cautiously."That must be it," he muttered, eyeing another building nearby before walking over.Art stopped in front of the building, now confident he’d found the right place.The building was tucked between two larger structures, yet it had a more special presence.Made from polished blackstone and silverwood, the shop had faintly glowing etchings across its s

3 days…That’s how long it’s been since his visit to the estate company. His movement has been restricted for his recovery, thanks to Victoria.Turns out that she wasn’t lying about having the power to act on whatever she deemed good for him. At this point, he was wondering who was under who. The most surprising thing was that all his injuries were almost completely healed, including his dislocated hand. So he no longer wore an arm sling. Right now he was seated outside after an early morning jog.He’s been doing this for the past three days. The Charles right now was different from the Charles just three days ago.He looked healthier, more fit, and most especially much more good-looking.The treatment and medication he was being given weren’t normally enough to make him turn out like this as he was recovering 2x faster than he expected.All this was due to his system.“Open status,” he said internally as a blue screen only he could see appeared.[Name: Charles Alistair] [Affluent

Charles was riding back home in a limousine with Walter who was driving it. He decided to save the last condition for later and just head home.Not wanting the attention which came with escorts, he dismissed the rest. But he was sure that certain measures were still put in place for guaranteed safety.The ride has mostly been quiet with Charles's thoughts being on his mother. If she was only alive to see him now.He promised to be very generous when paying back all the pain he passed through. The silence reigned for several more minutes as he realized he walked a lot of distance.Walter was the one who broke the silence. “I have to say, young master. I’m impressed. You surpassed my expectations of you. I’m sure you’re going to accomplish many great things in the future.”After all the insults he has been receiving it felt good to be praised like this but Walter wasn’t done.“But there are some things that I would like to correct.” “Go on,” Charles said wondering if he did anything

At first, many were surprised, but then again, who wouldn’t want a beautiful woman like Miss Stacey for themselves? It pained the other employees, but for the sake of their jobs, they prayed for her to leave.Stacey on the other hand wasn’t too surprised as she expected something like this.But contrary to whatever they believed was his motive for doing this, the true reason behind this condition was right in front of him. Just that only he could see it.[Potential Ally Found]He was surprised and confused seeing this from the system but the information which flooded directly into his brain helped him to understand better.This was a function set in place to help him recognize people who could greatly assist him on his journey.This sounded quite overpowered for a world like this, but it wasn’t as invincible as he initially thought. First of all, it can only detect people who can help him presently.S

Everyone kept staring at this, not yet comprehending what was happening here. “Young master, you should’ve brought some people if you wanted to leave and why did you choose to come to a place like this?” It was the representative who spoke up.“I just wanted to check out something by myself. I didn’t see the need to bring anyone with me. Sorry, if I worried you,” Charles replied as they raised their heads.He recognized three people here.The person being referred to as a representative was of course Walter and the two men who had given him the watch earlier.“There is no need for you to apologize. I hope you aren’t hurt.”Walters' eyes were already scanning to see if there were any injuries besides the one he already had.“You don’t have to worry. I’m fine. But how did you know where I am? I also don’t remember calling you guys.”It was quite confusing to him along with how quickly they arrived, well prepared.“The watch you were given has a special sensor that can detect when your

The woman was now completely pissed.“Is this a joke to you?! Do you know where you are?!” Her voice was really loud, so a lot of attention was drawn to them.Charles shook his head with a sigh. “Just tell me the price lady. Let’s get this over and done with.”“Is that how you want to play it huh? Then let’s do this. I’ll tell you the price and WHEN you fail to pay. You would be met with severe punishment and believe me, that isn’t something supposed to be on your bucket list.”‘Look at her go!’ Charles stared blankly. How can she be so sure that they couldn’t afford it?“You know what. Let’s just leave. Forget about everything I said,” the man said, regretting that he involved him, but Charles didn’t budge.“That’s no way to make a deal.”The woman was the one now confused. So he went ahead to enlighten her further. “What would happen to you WHEN I pay?”“Huh?” her eyebrows furrowed.“Ah! Yes!” a grin appeared on Charles’s face. “You’ll have to quit your job then.”“Outrageous! Who

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love,” his mother teased snapping him out of his thoughts. “Nice meeting you all,” he gazed back and forth at the mother and daughter pair who didn’t have anything in common before looking back at his mother. “I need to rest. I’ll be in my room,” he said walking away but pausing before looking back at her.“You’re welcome home.” They all watched as he walked away and Erin was yet to recover from her shock.“Honey, are you alright?” Her mother asked a bit confused. The only explanation she could come up with was that she must have been surprised by his bright red eyes as not everyone had seen such colour of eyes but even Erin herself didn’t have usual eyes.“I’m fine,” Erin said finally regaining herself.'It's him. It has to be him. To think I would meet him so soon. I’m just glad he’s alright.”She was aware the youngest son of the house was missing but after seeing that he was the same person who saved her, she figured that he must’ve

~Flicker~ ~Flicker~Val’s eyes slowly opened and the first thing that came into his sight was a pair of blue eyes staring into his, with his head rested on her knees. He immediately jumped up and put some distance. “Huh?” He was surprised to see the girl still here.With all that he did, he expected her to have ran away. She didn’t look injured which relived him. He also noticed that he didn’t have his cloak on.Looking sideways he saw it hanging on a branch covered in blood.His hands and eyes subconsciously moved to his shoulder where he was bit, but there was no injury. “Surprising isn’t it,” she said while standing up as he looked at her.“When I came back from soaking this in water to clean you up, all your injuries were gone,” she held a torn part of her cloth in her hands which was wet due to water and blood while staring curiously at him“How long was I out,” he asked glancing around.“Hmmm, I don’t know,” she shrugged. “Like seriously I have to go home,” he muttered the la

'Shit,' Val cursed internally. He didn’t mean to rip off the throat of the wolf but it was as though he had a hormone that takes effect whenever he wants to attack someone and he ends up using his powers even if he doesn’t want to, causing him to get results not wished for. This proves to him how much control he still needs but this wasn’t the main thing that bothered him.Right now his hands which he used to attack the wolf were covered in blood and he was having the same reaction as before. He tried to suppress it, but the wolves who were surprised and threatened after seeing one of them die so easily, saw this as a sign of weakness and an opportunity to attack.The wolf which was yet to attack along with the one who got hit in the head by Ashley dived at Val who was still trying to control himself. He forgot about suppressing the urge in other to defend himself but he wasn’t well prepared enough to handle both wolves simultaneously.So while he kicked one at its face, the other

He decided to leave through a part of the wall with less amount of soldiers and he seemed to have found the perfect one which was at the distant right from where he stood.If he were to escape through this part of the wall, only two men who patrolled at the top would be able to sight him.So he needed to find a way to either distract or get rid of them. He placed his hand on his chin while observing them from a blind spot.After some minutes of this, he came up with a plan, although it was going to be childish.The two men who were clad in full body armor and swords hanging on their waists didn’t even spare to glance at each other and seemed to be in foul moods.This was because of a certain problem which developed some days ago. The one at the left who couldn’t stand the sight of the other man any longer, decided to distance himself some more before he ends up doing something he would regret.But just as he turned around and took a few steps, a rock about the size of an egg hit him at

After he punched the boy, the blood which had flown out from his mouth ended up on Val’s chin.He didn’t have time to feel disgusted by this as he was slowly losing control.He was fully aware of this situation and the fact that he was a vampire or something like that.It wasn’t the first time that he was losing control like this as it had first happened after he murdered the man who wanted to kill his brother.Most of the few people who heard of this weren’t given the full details of what really happened.Back then, the man lunged towards his brother with a poisonous dagger, and at that moment, something inside of him snapped.It was more of a reflex action that he dashed towards the man at an astonishing speed with his hands stretched forward to grab his neck, but his fingers suddenly turned black and grew longer, causing it to go right through, as the man’s head was sent flying upwards.Val stared at his right hand which was covered in blood and at that moment, something began to r

Josh blinked several times to see if his eyes were deceiving him, but truly, Val was no longer there.He quickly looked towards the two men behind who were oblivious to what was going on as their gazes were fixed around the people surrounding them, observing for any suspicious movements.“B-Both of you! Did you see where Val went?” He already expected them not to have an answer for that, and the bewildered expression on their faces confirmed it. He felt dizzy and leaned on the counter of the shop for support. Without being told, the guards separated hastily in search of him.Even the shop owner was surprised how the little boy suddenly disappeared as he stared at Josh who looked obviously distressed.‘How? When? Is it an enemy? It has to be. But to kidnap him right under our noses? They have to be Divines or highly trained humans. Shit! Shit! Shit! I should’ve brought more men! Why did this happen!’He didn’t even want to think of what would happen if he who had sworn to deliver onl
