“Argh.” I groaned, clutching my head as a heavy racket echoed in my mind. The pain was like a hammer pounding away at my skull, and I could feel my body tense up. [Detecting the problem...] [Problem organized...] [Your memory is slowly coming back. You will feel a little at ease later, but it will surely hurt again. Due to the powerful magic that has been inserted into you and the sudden magic shortage, you are experiencing head pain or a mild prickle in your brain.] “What’s happening?” Lu Shirley’s concerned voice broke through my haze, pulling me back to the present. “Nothing; I’m fine,” I managed to say, the discomfort ebbing slightly as I met her worried gaze. I glanced around and suddenly spotted Lu Cian, my younger brother. Memories of our past began to stir. “Cian, it’s been a while,” I said, forcing a smile onto my face despite the remnants of pain in my head. --- **-Flashback-** In my younger days, I was just an elementary school student, solitary by nature.

*Connecting to the Creator...* *Connection established successfully.* "It happened again...." I muttered to myself, watching as everything around me froze. The colors drained from the world, turning everything black and white. It was like time had come to a halt, leaving me trapped in this eerie, lifeless landscape. *Receiving your system profile file link...* *Link received...* *Please open the system profile.* “Nero... you still there?” I asked, though I wasn’t really expecting a response. The silence reminded me of the last time we had this conversation—back when Nero and I had argued over his name. I smirked, remembering how close he had come to being stuck with the name *Daftian* just because the system lagged. He hated it. Without thinking, I clicked on the file link. "Should I mess with you again and name you *Daftian* this time?" I chuckled to myself, shaking my head at the memory. It was ridiculous, but at the moment, it was hilarious. *If not for the glitch, you'd

Seated at the head of the table, I stared at the ominous window floating before me.[Challenge Quest: You successfully made another body of yours! But, don't let this experience be yours alone!

"Confiscation?!" The word erupted from my mouth before I could stop it, startling everyone in the room.I slammed my clenched fist against the table, the loud thud echoing like a drumbeat. My arms pushed against the wood as I shot to my feet, fury coursing through me. My teeth gritted so tightly it ached, and I swept my gaze across the room. Every pair of eyes was fixed on me, wide and confused."

[Aspirant Exorcist has safely come back.] The announcement echoed in my head like a bell, sharp and inevitable. My body felt heavy, though I wasn’t injured. I blinked a few times, looking around. Fog. Endless fog. The air was so thick it was suffocating. Beneath me, sharp stones waited like knives eager to stab me if I dared to move carelessly. I stayed still, squinting upwards. Black clouds swirled ominously, as though mocking me from above. [Preparing for Lu Shian’s Second Nomination.] I rolled my eyes. “So what’s next? Can’t I get a break? A nap would be nice…” My voice was quiet, swallowed by the fog. I rubbed the back of my neck, tension building in my shoulders. ‘So this is how it’s going to be, huh? One soul test after another. No room to breathe, no time to think. Just trial after trial.’ I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. “I get it. I’m strong. You want me to keep proving it? Fine.” I didn’t move from my spot, though. I’d learned my lesson. The grou

The remnants of the room whispered of chaos as I reappeared in a blinding surge of light, standing tall amidst the wreckage. Every fiber of my being hummed with raw energy, my body thrumming with a power I could barely recognize. My muscles felt denser, my mind sharper, and each breath I took resonated like the echo of a storm, as if my lungs had been infused with the essence of the Exorcist World itself.I clenched my fists, the sensation of power surging through me intoxicating, yet controlled. The air around me crackled faintly, reacting to my presence as though acknowledging a shift—a transformation that couldn’t be undone.Slowly, deliberately, I opened my eyes. My gaze swept over the room, taking in every detail, every fragment of shattered wood and fractured stone, but most of all, the faces of my family. They were stunned, their expressions betraying a mixture of disbelief, fear, and something else I couldn’t quite place. Was it awe?This was the first time they were seeing me
