Chapter: Chapter 192: Gift.His hand moved steadily across the parchment, tracing the fine lines inked in mana-sensitive strokes.Venak leaned beside him, eyes sharp, trying to follow the motion.“You see this place here?” Oasis began, his voice even as he pointed to a tri-border region.“It’s the intersection of our Lunaris border, Springfield—and Stormreach".Venak nodded slightly, already sensing the tension behind the words.“But look to the south,” Oasis continued, his finger gliding along the lower edge of the map.“These peaks act as a natural barrier toward Springfield… and to the southwest, the Verdant Forest stretches outward like wild roots.”His tone turned colder, more focused.“Yet the disturbances are happening close to all three borders. It’s not a coincidence.”He tapped a specific point.“Master said there were unusual activities here. It’s not a full assault—they’re testing us.""Acting as if they’re probing Riverwind… but at the same time, they’re poking into our side.""And they know exactly

Chapter: Chapter 191: Preparations.As the meeting concluded, the great doors of the Sylvaneth palace opened, and the leaders of the Great noble families began to file out in orderly fashion, their expressions solemn and resolved.One by one, they disappeared into the twilight, their aides following behind like shadows.The hall slowly emptied, leaving only three figures behind:King Elpis Evergreen, Queen Elara Evergreen, and Belenus Lumina.The green glow of mana-crystals continued to bathe the great hall in a soft, ethereal light as Belenus approached the throne once more, no longer bound by the formal restraint he wore during the council.“Do you really believe Conri will act?” Belenus asked, his tone shedding the usual formal veneer of court.Elpis leaned back in his living throne, his sharp eyes drifting toward the vaulted ceiling above.“He will. Among all the Great Families, those with the deepest bloodlust have always hailed from the North.”Elpis’s voice was low, sure.“I’ve known Conri for years—even before h

Chapter: Chapter 190: Verdantia's response.Snow fell gently, layering the courtyard in a soft white sheet.Amidst the silent flurry, Oasis stood with his sword raised—Rudra, newly named.The blade shimmered faintly beneath the overcast sky, reflecting the quiet determination in his eyes.A small smile curved on his lips, not one of triumph, but of peace.It was as though the sword acknowledged him… and the world, just for a moment, stood still.Kara, standing under the pavilion nearby, watched quietly.A subtle smile played on her lips, proud and content in the background.After a moment, Oasis lowered the blade and walked back toward the pavilion where Elder Adric and the others waited.As he stepped into the shelter, he picked up the sheath that rested neatly on the table.With steady hands, he brought it to his side.Elder Adric stepped forward, assisting him in attaching the sheath to his waist.The dark blue scabbard matched seamlessly with the deep-toned robes Oasis wore.Now, with sword and sheath secured, he looked the

Chapter: Chapter 189: Rudra.Lunalith under the snow was a quiet masterpiece.Delicate flakes drifted from the sky like falling feathers, layering the rooftops in pristine white.The city moved with a graceful stillness—ordered, calm, and noble.Merchants swept storefronts.Disciples in uniform robes made their way to assignments.And in the midst of it all, Oasis walked beside Venak, as if untouched by the cold, the snow parting softly with every step.There was a rhythm to their pace.Oasis, clad in a robe dark blue, carried an air that was both youthful and timeless.Venak matched his stride, quiet and observant, keeping one step behind.Though the streets were busy, a subtle bubble of space formed around the two of them—some instinct within people made them step aside, as if they sensed something greater was passing through.For an hour they walked.Eventually, the towering gates of the Adric Pavilion came into view—ornate, ancient, and guarded by armored disciples.As they approached, the guards instinctivel

Chapter: Chapter 188: Venak.“Yaaawn…”A cloud of mist escaped Oasis’s lips as he stepped out into the soft, snowy morning of Lunaris.The garden behind him, quiet and serene, was still bathed in the faint silver of dawn.Snow drifted lazily from the skies, covering the ground in a delicate white shroud.As he exhaled again, more mist curled into the air—proof of the lingering winter chill.His robe fluttered slightly with each step, and his bare feet crunched lightly against the cleared stone path before he wore his boots that he held in his hands.Even in this cold, he felt… warm. Alive.“It was thrilling being taught by someone else,” Oasis thought, a faint smile curling at the edge of his lips.“It felt just like the days I spent with Master Elias…”His gaze drifted toward the main building of the Bluemoon estate.From a distance, he could hear the clack of wooden swords, the sharp whoosh of energy being unleashed, and the rhythmic hum of mana in motion.Disciples trained with grit and passion, each one surrou

Chapter: Chapter 187: New dawn.“It’s about time I wake,” Oasis thought, seated cross-legged in both the physical world and within his vast Conscious Realm.His inner world had changed dramatically.Towering peaks now pierced the skies with majestic might, and waterfalls cascaded down in gentler, more elegant flows than ever before.The atmosphere was calm, serene—breathtaking.At the center of it all, the blue flames that symbolized his spirit burned brighter and grander, radiating warmth and life throughout the realm, nurturing it like a divine hearth.These were not ordinary flames—they were a symbol of control, peace, and rebirth.Oasis could feel it clearly now: the essence of his Soul Realm, the very core of his existence.It carried his will, his consciousness, and his intent.His spiritual energy had grown exponentially, harmonizing with the newfound identity he now fully accepted.Above his Conscious Realm floated a new horizon—his grimoire, ethereal and ever-present.Meanwhile, in the physical world, Conri

Chapter: Absolute resolve(2)Placing his hand on the stone, he envisioned the kampilan—a traditional Filipino weapon.Divine energy surged from his hand, wrapping around the ore as it began to shift and solidify, transforming into the weapon he had imagined.As it took form, he spoke with reverence,"I, Tiyaga, behold my weapon before the Creator Elohim and in the name of my Lord Ares. I name you Anito." The weapon shimmered as it fully awakened, a black blade with a lining of silver along its edge.The blade itself bore tiny white spots around the hilt, like stars against the night, and a short rope extended from the hilt, bearing the banner of Ares.Near the hilt, in delicate engraving, was the mark of Hephaestus, affirming its divine origin.The sight was mesmerizing—a weapon uniquely his, resonating with power and purpose, crafted through divine will.The weapon solidified in Rico's hand, gleaming with a faint, divine light that pulsed as if alive.Just as he marveled at Anito, a system display flashed befor

Chapter: Absolute resolve(1)As Rico's voice rang out, his sharp command snapped his subordinates out of hesitation."Not enough wits!" he shouted, his tone filled with fiery resolve."Come at me already! If you flinch, you die!" They were in the thick of day two, and Rico's group was already dripping with sweat, their clothes, freshly washed the night before, now torn and ragged.Despite the exhaustion on their faces, there was a newfound resilience in their eyes, a fierceness that hadn't been there before.Some among them had begun to manifest the Shield of Fortitude, only to have it shattered by Rico's relentless strikes.A few dodged one or two of his attacks, proving their growth, while others were learning to evade more frequently.Anyone watching might have mistaken this for a real battle, as each trainee faced off with genuine intensity, pushing themselves to keep up with their commanding officer.Rico's taunts only drove them harder, silencing any fleeting thoughts of undermining him.Those harboring ev

Chapter: Late at the party(2)Behind him, his subordinates, synchronized in movement, mirrored him, showing their deference and silently apologizing for their late arrival.The hall held its breath as the commanders nodded approvingly, acknowledging Rico's respectful gesture.The room, still silent, watched the display of respect, surprised by the discipline and unity they radiated.Rico's group had made a powerful entrance, one that would not be forgotten anytime soon.As Rico took his seat, Demetrius's sharp eyes observed him closely, a glimmer of intrigue flickering.Mmh…fascinating. I can still sense the faint residue of Holy Aura around him, he mused silently, his gaze assessing.Another commander across the hall noticed the same and exchanged a confirming nod with Demetrius,both struck by the rarity of what they were witnessing.For a novice-ranked warrior to wield Holy Aura was unheard of—it was a privilege reserved for high-ranking beings.Few possessed the strength and mastery to channel it, and for Rico

Chapter: Late at the party(1)Huff! Huff! Huff!The air was thick with the sound of heavy breathing, each member of Rico's squad gasping as they braced themselves against the relentless training.Hours had passed with no breaks, pushing each of them to the brink as Rico, now armed with his Holy Aura, had sparred them into exhaustion.Despite his rank of Warrior (Novice), Rico's strength far surpassed his title, and it showed.He stood amidst his battered, bruised subordinates, grinning as he took in the sight before him.The training uniforms on most of them were torn, ripped at the seams or stained with dirt and sweat.Some even bore visible bruises, reminders of the blows they'd taken.They looked like they had just returned from a real battle—but this was only sparring.Rico had found something profound here.He had been bullied on Earth, labeled a loser, but here, he felt respected, valued, and at peace—a priceless feeling.His memories might remind him of his past life, but the present offered something great

Chapter: Commander TiyagoA ding echoed in Rico's mind as his abilities settled into place.With his senses heightened by Battlefield Awareness, Rico watched as his subordinates hesitated before charging at him.He shifted into his stance, focusing on his Dance of the Evasive Wind and moving with fluid precision,sidestepping each strike with graceful, measured footwork.His reflexes felt sharp as he ducked a blow from Leonidas, spinning to deflect a kick from Callista with his arm, his grin never wavering."Come on! Is that all?" he taunted.Theron attempted a bold swing toward him, but Rico activated his Shield of Fortitude, absorbing the impact with ease.The divine energy around him seemed to pulse as the shield dissipated the blow, leaving him unfazed."Not bad, but let's see how you handle this."Rico's expression shifted to one of fierce determination as he activated Wrathful Strike Series,channeling his divine energy into a powerful attack, deliberately slowing his strike to test their reactions.His
