Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-FiveThe air smelled of orange blossoms and honey. For a long time, Oliver didn’t move. The sun warmed his face, and the wind was soft—like breath against his skin. A tree above him rustled gently, its leaves whispering secrets he couldn’t quite hear.He was lying in the grass. Real grass. Not cracked stone or ash-covered ground. Grass that tickled his arms. The sky was impossibly blue, like an ocean flipped upside down, and the clouds were like boats drifting with nowhere to go. No fire. No screaming metal. No sword in his hand.Only peace.He sat up slowly. His ribs didn’t hurt. His hands were whole. Even the scar across his chest, the one he’d earned in the fourth siege of Halron Keep, was gone. He touched his face, then his chest. Nothing. Clean.“Oliver,” a voice called.He turned.Azrael was walking toward him—alive. Smiling. That smile, that impossible, heart-breaking grin. His long black coat danced in the breeze. His boots didn’t crunch against the ground because there was no war

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-FourWith a roar that was not merely fury but grief, exile, and ancient betrayal turned into thunder, the colossus lunged forward, not as though it were a creature that had waited so long to be born, but as if with the terrifying speed of a thing that had long waited to be born.Oliver didn't pause; he took up instinct against design. His body moved then, not from muscle memory, but as if some deeper code had written this moment into the very fibersHis boots ignited sparks across the scorched floor, his every step a scream of resistance against impossibility, his blade trailing light that pulsed like a second heart, running in to the chaos. The monster-instance of his own image, by time and torment-raised a fist the size of a tombstone and every bit of it fell on Oliver, who attempted to fling himself to the left. The sheer force of that impact sent shockwaves through the rock, bursting fissures out across the obsidian floor and launching shards into the air like the jagged wings of a dyi

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-ThreeOliver was trudging up the stone stairs with the realization that he was moving painfully slow. The air weighed heavy, and each step felt more strenuous than the previous one. His hands were trembling. His chest felt tight. For no apparent reason. Just a feeling—a gut instinct of bad omen.And then it happened.The Rift didn’t just open within himself. It tore apart.An invisible stroke ran through his chest, like a lightning bolt striking it, but there came no sound. Only the pain: the marvelous, jagged, cutting right through him. He fell on one knee and gasped. The cracked stone of the stair came alive. Then the bubbling began—like wax being melted at the flame's edge.Heat erupted from inside him. First it was orange; then it turned white; now it was blue. The fire pouring from his chest was a tempest: rushing up, a whirl, furious, flashing. It burned quietly, but its heat howled. The sword slipped from Oliver’s grip, falling to the ground with a clang.For something too blinding,

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-TwoThe light just seems to vanish from out of nowhere. A second ago, there it was-an object glowing brilliantly and warmly-and suddenly, it was all gone. The sky blinked, like an eye closing down. Everything turned to black. Then there were only the stairs. They curled upward. Cold, grey stone. One spiral staircase and no end in sight. It twists into the sky, through clouds of gold and fire. There are no walls-no railings-just air all around and far beneath, nothing. No ground. No sound. No color. No time. Just dark bottomless space..Oliver stood at the bottom of the stairs. Or maybe he was standing there for a long time already. He was not so sure. There was an ache in his chest, like it was torn from inside. Smoke rose from his skin, and his clothes burned and worn away. There was blood dripping from his hands. He tried to breathe, but it hurt. Still, he looked up. All that remained were those stairs. So he stepped forward. Slowly. Cautiously. His foot touched the first step. And t

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-OneNo noise. No light. Only movement. Only pain. Only war. Oliver opened his eyes, or thought he did; nothing felt different in that place whether he kept them shut or not: no light change, no shapes, no borders, no floor, no sky, nothing but an endless void, pressing in from all sides with pressure like the deepest ocean. But he moved, so something must still exist.Smoke entered his lungs. Ice left his mouth. Every thud of pain in his ribs, pain that etched itself into his bones as fatigue, and yet he managed to keep going. Something else moved, too- around him, behind him, inside him. The monsters had come without the luxury of a warning, without the snarl of rage, or the cry of rage. They had come with silence.The first was but a shadow of a hand--a hand that pulled back from the dark and closed around his throat, its grip a grasp of memory, regret, and betrayal he had never healed from; as he shoved it away with his bare fingers, its form twisted, arms growing long, then thick, onl

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred The fall ended prematurely. Oliver hit an unyielding surface and felt all the wind slam out of his lungs. The force from the collision shot up his spine like fire through the nerves. In the darkness, there were no echoes, no sky, no ground—only an endless, choking absence of sound. He coughed. Blood smeared his lips. His fingers trembling, he began to push against the foreign black stone under him.Then he saw it.A space, vast and perfect in shape. A circular polished obsidian, with walls smooth and towering, but with no ceiling—the sky above, gone. Instead, an infinite void opened upward, with stars twisting sluggishly across an empty canvas. A quiet hum vibrated beneath the skin.It was in the center of this bizarre room that a mirror stood.It was higher than any mountain, wider than any battlefield. The frame was a molten silver flowing with red and gold veins that pulsed like living metal. The glass was too transparent, too deep- sheen might not be the appropriate word; it migh

Chapter: Chapter 221The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th

Chapter: Chapter 220When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im

Chapter: Chapter 219Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?

Chapter: Chapter 218Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa

Chapter: Chapter 217Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you

Chapter: Chapter 216Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.

Chapter: Chapter TenMason stood there in the kitchen observing the weight of the cup he could feel that something had changed in him as he began to wonder if the super strength had begun to manifest in him."Couldn't sleep?" Tony asked after walking past the kitchen and saw Mason standing there with a glass of water."Ummm" Mason was confused as to what to reply."Me too buddy, it is gonna be a long night Mason, let's make the best out of it" Tony said."Sure...what do you have in mind?" Mason asked."At around 12, my neighbor's teenage son's come to my house to watch horror movies and it has been going on like that for days, they will be here anytime soon" Tony said."Alright, cool " Mason replied briefly.Tony's neighbors' teenage sons named Andrea and Mike arrived at the house and were ready to watch the movie."What's good Andre, how are you doing Hun, hope your momma is cool with you guys watching horror movies with me by this time?" Tony asked."Yeah, she's cool with that," Mike replied.The movie

Chapter: Chapter Nine"What kind of bloody suit Is this, have you messed with ancient powers?" Mason said to himself.Mason's heart raced as he stared at the ancient letters and his name written on it that is only visible to him alone."What have I gotten myself into, how do I return this, should I just go over to the mansion and confess or what?" Mason was wondering.Mason tried to touch the glowing suit as he was hesitating before waving his hand through the glowing suit but it felt like nothing but air, and though the suit stayed intact."What the hell is this?" Mason said to himself as he his gaze was fixated at the door. Tony had only left a few minutes ago, unaware of the sudden occurrence.Mason tried to focus on the ancient markings on the suit and was confused, not until he noticed a strange word written "Fuerza "."What the hell does this mean?" Mason whispered quietly to himself.But as he was glancing at the markings of the suit he felt a strange aura like a power awakening and surging from the

Chapter: Chapter EightTony was waiting for Mason outside the mansion with his car. He was not comfortable with Mason's idea of stealing John's magic wand and spell book but he knew he had to help Mason through this difficult time.After a while, Mason came out from the house and dashing towards the car hastily."Drive, drive, I could find the stupid spell book" Mason said as soon as he entered the car.Tony, who was already breathing fast, started the car and zoomed off.Tony took Mason to his home where he lived alone, as he had no children of his own.He lives in a small house but even though it is small it was warm and welcoming, filled with peace and quietness.Now that Mason is coming to stay with him, it feels like something changed in the air, as he looks forward to taking care of Mason .As they reached a small house at the edge of the city, Tony opened the wooden door and stepped aside allowing Mason to enter first. Mason was hesitating to enter as Tony watched him and noticed immediately he place

Chapter: Chapter Seven"Are you serious right now? You want his wand and spell book?Mason, you know that kind of magic isn't easy to take. It is not like you can just steal them and suddenly become like him Tony said carefully."I don't care how hard it is Tony. I'm tired of being the weak one, the one without magic, the one everyone looks down on. I've been patient. I've tried everything I can to get my own powers and magic wand but nothing's worked. Meanwhile, John walks around with all his wealth and power like it was handed to him on a silver platter" Mason voices out in frustration.Tony could feel the weight of Mason's frustration. He had seen the way people like John and Aurora treated those without magic. It wasn't fair. But taking John's wand and spell book was a dangerous idea. John's magic came from his lineage and stealing that power wasn't just about taking his belongings.it would involve dark consequences. If the magic wand is not issued to you, the power of the wand would be unpredictable and

Chapter: Chapter SixThe next day, it was a bright and beautiful morning in the magical school, a school for magicians. Mason sat on a bench under a large oak tree near the entrance of the school courtyard, his hands clenched tightly in frustration as he explained everything to his friend Tony. The usual noise and chatter of students filled the air, but Mason was lost in his thoughts. Tony sat beside him, listening quietly, his expression darkened as Mason revealed what had transpired between him, Aurora and john."So you're telling me Aurora left you after you caught her cheating with John?" Tony asked with disbelief in his voice."She didn't even deny it, Tony. She just acted like it was normal, like it was my fault for not being good enough for her. I've heard students gossiping about me being weak because I don't have magic yet, but to hear it from her... it's crazy" Mason said with anger in his eyes."That's low, Mason. Real low, I knew she wasn't exactly a saint but cheating on you with John?, that

Chapter: Chapter FiveMason didn't utter any word, he simply made his way into the room and laid down on the floor to sleep. Aurora gazed at him in disgust before resuming her chat with John on the phone. The duo chatted and laughed nonstop, and all Mason could do was lie there with his pillow covering his head, he had to deal with the problem of not having any magic wand nor spell and his girlfriend cheating on him.The morning sun rose up, and Mason woke up from his sleep. He stood up from the floor he slept on and glanced at the bed where Aurora could be seen still fast asleep.He made his way into the bathroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed and heading downstairs.Mason made his way to the fridge and picked up a bag of chips and a bottle of juice before heading out and making his way towards the bus station. While heading to the bus station, Mason munched on his chips and took a sip from a juice.The only reason why he was headed to the news company was to submit his resignation letter t
