Arion stood before the main quests, their tantalizing promises of instant power and transformation beckoning him. With his level locked at 1 and his experience points still a barren zero, the allure of becoming a martial artist and martial warrior in the blink of an eye was almost too tempting to resist.
However, Arion was not one to rush into decisions without careful consideration. He was a thinker, always seeking to uncover the "why" behind every aspect of his journey. It was this insatiable curiosity that had brought him to this moment, and it was this very quality that would now shape his choice.
As he gazed at the quests, he couldn't help but think about the implications of each path. Becoming a martial artist or a martial warrior instantly sounded like a dream, but it also felt like cheating himself out of the true essence of his journey. What was the purpose of power if he didn't understand how it worked or the sacrifices required to attain it?
Arion's thoughts drifted to his long-held philosophy: knowledge was the true power. He had always yearned to unravel the mysteries of the world and understand the inner workings of things. This desire to know, to comprehend, and to master through learning was at the core of his being.
With a firm resolve, he made his decision. He would eschew the allure of instant power and choose the path of patience and understanding. He realized that rushing through the quests might make him strong, but it wouldn't make him wise. He wanted to learn and grow, step by step, discovering the secrets of martial arts from the ground up.
Arion knew that this choice wouldn't be easy. It meant embracing the struggles and challenges that lay ahead. It meant accepting that he would remain at his current level for a while, working diligently to earn every bit of experience and power. But he was willing to walk this path because he believed that true strength, both of body and spirit, came from the journey itself.
Arion shifted his focus to the quest of increasing his talent, a task that initially seemed rather straightforward. The quest called for him to recruit ten F Rank disciples, and he didn't anticipate any major challenges on this front. His reasoning was simple: F Rank talents were abundant throughout the world, and locating individuals with modest abilities akin to his own should be a breeze. Finding recruits who were equally modest in their talents would be a manageable endeavor.
The idea of mentoring these recruits didn't even cross his mind. His sole objective was to recruit them, not to invest time in their training. Arion was purely focused on fulfilling the quest's requirements efficiently.
As he contemplated this, Arion couldn't help but think about his primary quest – joining a sect. It was then that a bold idea struck him like lightning after he received the sect token and the information of sect transfer. What if he established his own sect? He believed that this system operated like a game from Earth, offering a continuous chain of quests. This notion emboldened him to make a daring decision: he would become the sect master of this sect.
Despite the potential risks of revealing his true identity, Arion felt that taking the role of sect master aligned with the system's gamified nature. It seemed like a calculated gamble. To his astonishment, as soon as he made this choice and became a sect master as per the sect council, the notifications for completing the quests of becoming an inner disciple, core disciple, and elder all flashed on his screen in an instant. The system had recognized him as a sect master, bypassing the usual progression hierarchy.
This unexpected turn of events left him intrigued. He was now the master of a sect, and the possibilities before him were limitless. The world is his chessboard, and he is ready to make moves to uncover the mysteries of this intricate system and the world.
In the heart of the Tiger Claw Sect, Arion's newfound role as Sect Master heralded a transformation that ran deeper than appearances alone. He had embraced the mantle of leadership not as a reflection of his true martial strength, which still remained that of a novice, but as a strategic maneuver in the complex dance of martial politics and power dynamics that defined the world he now inhabited. As Sect Master, Arion recognized the paramount importance of projecting an image of unwavering authority and indomitable strength. In the intricate tapestry of Nova's martial society, appearances could be as potent as genuine power. It was this understanding that led him to acquire the remarkable artifacts that now adorned his wrist and face—the Deceitful Bangle and the Veil of Dread. The Deceitful Bangle was not a vessel for genuine martial prowess. Instead, it was a testament to the ingenuity of the Nexus system that had accompanied him since his rebirth in this world. With its mystical ca
The Raindrop District, with its bustling streets and vibrant energy, was a world unto itself. Arion had chosen an inn nestled within this bustling corner of the town, a haven where he could find respite from the complexities of his newfound role as Sect Master. It was a place where life thrived in every corner, a symphony of voices and colors that painted the town's vivid tapestry. In the early mornings, Arion would step out onto the cobblestone streets, the crisp air tinged with the scent of street vendors' offerings. The market square was a vibrant kaleidoscope of sights and sounds, with traders haggling over goods, and street performers weaving their tales through dance and song. For a brief moment, he felt like a traveler, a wanderer exploring the depths of a new world. The town he found himself in proved to be an unexpected challenge. Yet, within this captivating tapestry, Arion held a singular purpose—to fulfill a system quest, one that demanded the recruitment of individuals
Encountered Individual : - Name: Kyle Carter - Age: 15 - Talent: F - Background : In the realm of Nova, the Carter family was renowned for their unwavering emphasis on physical strength. They prided themselves on producing formidable warriors and martial artists for generations. Kyle Carter, as the middle child in his family, faced immense pressure to excel in combat and martial prowess. However, despite his best efforts, Kyle was overshadowed by both his elder and younger siblings, each of whom displayed extraordinary martial talents from an early age. His family, adhering to their strict tradition, viewed strength as the primary measure of worth and status. Kyle's inability to match the combat abilities of his siblings led to his disownment and expulsion from the Carter clan. Now an outcast from his noble family, Kyle found himself wandering. He has a deep secret that no one else but him knows. Kyle is a reincarnated person from Earth. His unique talent lies in his remarkabl
Kyle woke up early the next morning. He had been given a glimpse of Arion's expectations, and the challenges that lay ahead weighed heavily on his mind. Determined to prove himself, he made his way to the training ground, where Arion was already waiting. As Kyle approached, he greeted Arion respectfully. Arion acknowledged his presence with a nod and a measured gaze, his expression revealing little. It was clear that Arion was a man of few words, focused on the task at hand. Arion began to explain the purpose of this day's training. "Since you were recommended by Noira," he said, "I want to assess your capabilities before we proceed with your formal training." He paused, his eyes fixed on Kyle. "You will be given 15 assignments in total. As long as you complete these assignments to my satisfaction, I will grant you the status of an inner disciple from the start, given that our sect is still in its early stages." Kyle bowed his head in acknowledgment. He understood the significance o
After enduring a grueling week-long carriage journey, Arion and Kyle finally arrived at the bustling heart of Rainsong City. The city unfolded before them like a sensory symphony, with fragrant floral stalls adorning cobblestone pathways, filling the air with the intoxicating scents of orchids, lotus blossoms, and exotic jungle flowers. Street performers dazzled the crowds with acrobatics and vibrant street art, infusing an enchanting atmosphere into their surroundings. Wooden canopy walkways overhead cast dappled shadows, offering a serene escape from the lively streets below. Aromatic food stalls beckoned with the flavors of savory dumplings and fragrant curries, while the laughter of children echoed from nearby playgrounds. In the Temple District, temple bells chimed melodiously, and devotees paid homage to the Rainsong Goddess. They strolled across an arched stone bridge, admiring koi fish gliding beneath, while palace guards in resplendent armor and a monument celebrating unity se

Upon their arrival in a majestic courtyard, Arion found himself at a loss for words. Every member of the Carter Clan, from the elders to the youngest children, had assembled in orderly formation. Their gathering was a testament to their profound respect for martial arts and a profound acknowledgment of the extraordinary abilities of their distinguished guest. Arion, despite his youthful appearance, exuded an aura of power and martial spirit. Terrence couldn't shake the feeling that Arion's real age belied his youthful looks. In a clan where martial prowess was the ultimate measure of one's value, the age at which they reached significant milestones was of paramount importance. The most gifted among the Carter Clan had achieved the esteemed rank of Martial Warrior by the age of 15. By the age of 20, they had risen to the prestigious position of Martial Grandmaster, a title that brought honor and prestige to their family. Terrence himself had accomplished the remarkable feat of reachin
Terrance, after considering Arion's commitment and the potential benefits of his sister, Seraphina, joining the Tiger Claw Sect, nodded in response to Arion's proposal. "Very well, Sect Master Arion. I will take your word for it," he said with a sense of cautious optimism. He then turned his gaze to Seraphina, his expression reflecting a blend of concern and determination. "Seraphina," he began, addressing his sister, "It seems that Sect Master Arion is willing to provide you with an opportunity to join the sect. The decision, however, ultimately rests with you." Seraphina, with her carefully concealed ruthlessness, had other intentions in mind. As Terrance signaled her decision to join the sect, she suddenly interjected, her voice laced with challenge and a hint of defiance.
