'How's is he still moving freely? I've tried all the sword skills I learned, and I've also exhausted myself in the process yet...'"Hey, don't tell me you wanna stop now. This is becoming more interesting and I like it," Ryan said to the boy, pulling him out of his thoughts.The boy looked at Ryan, his face was devoid of any emotion yet, he felt like he was mocking him."Says who? I am not tired!" He yelled and charged at Ryan. He swung his sword across, aiming to get him at his shoulder. But Ryan dodged and scurried behind him."Why are you suddenly becoming aggressive? I haven't learned enough from you yet," Ryan said and pushed him forward. The boy staggered but held himself from falling. Ryan then stood at a spot and began to swing his sword, his movements were fast but at a normal pace."That—" The boy was dumbfounded as he watched Ryan. "How is that possible?" He mumbled as his face turned sour."Did you think I would be here wasting my time on some insignificant person like you
During the first war between the Devils and the Gods, the world trembled and portals were cracked, allowing so many beings of different types to escape and occupy the human planet called Earth.

"Master, are you sure about this?" A young girl asked the man beside her. The man was none other than the person who was against the baby being cast away into the lake. He looked ahead into the far sky surrounding the mountain and it was utterly dark."Yes. I want to save the child that is if I am not late already," the man replied and then turned his gaze to the staff in his hand."The chief will kill us if he finds out what we are about to do," the girl replied with a scared gaze."Not until he finds out. Let's get going," the man said and the two of them began to head toward the mountain. When they got to the barrier, the man did what the chief did with his staff and then stabbed it into the ground. The same rumbling sound was heard and the barrier surrounding the mountain disappeared. "Stay here and wait for me. I'll be back once I save him," the man told the girl and then went into the mountain."Good luck, master," the girl mumbled and joined her hands in a praying style. She
*8 years later*Today is a sunny day and the weather seemed friendly. The town looked even livelier than before with many people on the street. Shops were open and many things were being traded."Miss, a gold coin is all I have. Please, can you reduce the price of these clothes?" A young girl with red hair and blue eyes asked a shop owner.The shop owner stared at this girl in disbelief. "You want me to reduce the price again? Little girl, aren't you been selfish?" She asked her."Miss, I'm not. Remember I told you that my parents died when I was very young leaving me to take care of my little brother and myself? The only job that keeps me going is the blacksmithing work I learned from my father, I am yet to be perfect in it and because of that, I don't earn much from it. The little I earn isn't enough to take care of us," the girl explained. As she spoke, tears began to gather in her eyes which the shop owner didn't fail to notice.She gazed at the girl for quite some time and afterwa
"Even though you don't have an ability, you will still have to go through the tests so that your power level will be accessed," The female instructor said to Ryan and then pressed the button she had initially pressed.The bright light engulfed the five of them, causing them to close their eyes and when they reopened them again, they were surprised to see themselves in a grass field."This is where your tests will be taking place," she announced and pointed at the barrier that was some miles away from where they were standing. "Your targets will come out from there, hit as many as you can without getting hit by any of them!"Just as she finished instructing them, black ball-like objects began to emerge from the barrier."You are first, so begin!" The instructor, of course, said to Ryan who nodded in reply and walked further to the center of the land.'So I'll just hit as many as I can.' Ryan thought as he waited for the targets to start coming at him.Soon, he got into the action by hit
"Hey, how about you move into my dorm? I'm sure you don't like staying at home," Taylor suddenly said to Ryan.As if he didn't hear what the boy said, Ryan turned around and gave him a 'what did you just say' look.Taylor understood the meaning behind those eyes and so he chuckled before replying. "Well, I'm certain that you aren't living fine wherever you are. Instead of having to wake up to meet the same ugly faces every moment, how about you pack your stuff and come live with me in the dorm? It's better than staying in a cold house, am I not right?"Yes, he was right but how is he so much aware of the situation in his home? This question was something that troubled Ryan."How are you certain that I'm not living happily at home?" He asked with brows knitted in inquisitiveness."Do you suspect me or something?" Taylor asked back with a sly smile. "Of course, you are now on the top news in the whole school. Who doesn't know about your ordeals with your step-family, huh? It's everywhere
"Wish me luck, bro!" Taylor whispered to me before heading to the center of the field. There he stood, waiting for the test to begin.The five targets appeared before him and he got into a stance.Others may not be curious about him but I was. I was very much curious about what ability this playful yet strange boy had.Flamy particles began to gather around his palms and after some minutes, a large flame arrow was soon formed. He stretched out his hand and a bow appeared on it.The bow didn't look all that impressive but it was eye-catching. The body of the bow was made of some beast skin and it looked extremely powerful, at least, one would know from the aura it was emitting.He placed the large arrow in between his bow and aimed it at his targets. In the next second, the arrow was seen flying at an extremely high speed toward those targets. The arrow hit the first one and as expected of it, it was supposed to hit the other targets but it didn't hit them. But suddenly, the remaining
As if I didn't hear what the pale-looking boy said, I turned around and gave him a 'what did you just say' look.Taylor understood the meaning behind those eyes and so he chuckled before replying. "Well, I'm certain that you aren't living well wherever you are. Instead of having to wake up to meet the same ugly faces every moment, how about you pack your stuff and come live with me in the dorm? It's better than staying in a cold house, am I not right?"Yes, he was right but how is he so much aware of the situation in his home? This question was something that troubled me."How are you certain that I'm not living happily at home?" I asked with brows knitted in inquisitiveness."Do you suspect me or something?" Taylor asked back with a sly smile. "Of course, you are now a little star in the whole school. Who doesn't know about your ordeals with your step-family, huh? It's everywhere and I happen to hear them the moment I came to this school.""Hmm..." I sighed quietly. I was still not
