At the entrance of Caromine Institute, Dam Son continued to chase after Cinder Burn’s fleeing figure. They ventured past a few campus guards along the way.

“Hey, wait up! We should go back together! Why are you ignoring me? Are you still being a sore loser because of what happened at the admission matches?”

“Sore Loser?” Finally, Cinder Burn halted her quick steps then glanced back at Dam Son furiously. “If I wasn’t so tired and doggone famished I would have had our rematch right here. Count yourself lucky, Dark-Human.” Cinder Burn dashed off again.

“Hey!” Dam Son gave chase to her emerald posterior. “I don’t want to fight against you! Can’t we just be friends?”

“Stop following me.” Cinder Burn responded coldly while speeding up.

“Why are you being so cold? Is there no one at this academy aside from teacher Enjoy who is friendly?”

“If you want to be somebody’s friend so badly then go seek elsewhere. You’re not my type to mix with.”

“Do you dislike me because I’m a Dark-Human, is that

    At the Tower of Residence, Dam Son was inside his room sitting on the veneer floor while chugging down a large bottle of water. Many more water bottles of similar sizes surrounded his thirsty complex.Unlike regular Humans and Demi-Humans, Dam Son mostly depended on water to sustain his created Avatar. He didn’t need any solid substance to keep him going. Water was the only source of vitality for him.After chugging down 7 more bottles of water, Dam Son burped and wiped the spittle from his moist lips. “Ahh, that was refreshing.”“How can your flat stomach absorb all of that water?” Papyrus asked with its folds contorted.“I’m not sure myself, but I love water for some reason.” Dam Son turned the multiple bottles of water back into common Noun Scripts before standing up. He crushed the useless papers then tossed them into a Script Disposal Unit by the entrance. Finished tidying up the place, Dam Son motioned his legs towards the window so that he could look outside. “The morning is gr

    Peering through the irregular golden sheet with his Wisdom Stone, Dam Son entered a trance where he found himself watching through the eye of an inexplicable entity.The environment was less developed than in modern times in Vocabular. The geography was roughly polished with decaying vegetation. Buildings were flattened and the ground was upheaved. It was as if a storm of destruction had run rampant in that area. Various species of humans were travelling upward a narrow pathway that led to the only sturdy sanctuary left standing in that desolate expanse.By how roughly the people were coughing, Dam Son surmised that the air was highly toxic. His analysis was indeed correct. After the violent storm of destruction had traversed that annal of history, it left behind corrosive pollution tousled in the atmosphere, making it harder for the remaining citizens to breathe.“Where are we going?” Dam Son felt like it was him inside the ancient scenery, the only thing was that he had no control o

    Dam Son came into the living room; hurriedly reached for his apparel scattered across the floor and put them on. “How do I look Papyrus?”“See for yourself.” Papyrus created a reflective dark sheet that Dam Son could use to view his appearance clearer.“Huh, this is…?” Looking through the page mirror, Dam Son realized that something new was present on his forehead. “When did these black coins get here? They look similar to the one I picked up last night.”5 identical dark coins still maintained their horned posture on Dam Son’s forehead. He reached his hand up there and picked one. “Yes, it looks exactly the same. Papyrus, do you know how these got here? Does it has something to do with you turning black as well?” “Well, ahh…” Papyrus was hesitant of informing Dam Son about the incident that took place prior which caused its pages to darken coupled with Dam Son’s forehead mutation. “The thing is…” Papyrus told Dam Son everything that transpired up to the point where they view the

    Dam Son arrived at Caromine Institute during the later period of Ms Enjoy’s lessons. When he entered the classroom, all eyes were fixated on him. “Sorry for coming in so late, teacher. I overslept.” He bowed apologetically.“I figured that would be the reason. Go ahead and have a seat.” Ms Enjoy gestured to Dam Son’s desk in the middle. “You haven’t missed anything important, I was just wrapping up the lesson on Library Creation.”“Then don’t mind me.” The students were still staring at Dam Son fixedly until he planted his behind in his seat.“He seems taller for some reason, also, more handsome.” Balloona who sat closer to the rear region of the class noticed that something had changed with Dam Son.“Girl, what did you say just now?” Asked a neighbouring student whose type was of the ladybug Demi-Human variety.“Ah, it’s nothing, Trish.” Balloona became flustered when she thought that her classmate had overheard her complimenting Dam Son’s strapping physique. She hurriedly took her e

    “Now to end our general lesson for the day…” Finished teaching her students about Guides and Library evolution, Ms Enjoy commenced her last topic. “I am going to be brief with this one, for I don’t want to take up too much of your time. When we’re finished here, I will direct you to the other Word Masteries where you will get accustomed to the basics. Here at Raixom Academy, we teach our students to be well rounded in all major Word Mastery. Now then…”Ms Enjoy applied another script to the clear board present at the forefront of the classroom. It depicted several levels of Guide’s category. “For the most basic, we have a Papyrus. This beginner Guide’s level has 3-Chapters of evolution before it reaches the Manuscript stage. A 10-page thickness is required for the basics. As for the Manuscript, Hardcover and Tome, they too have 3-Chapters of evolution. Each level has its own set of perks. As you evolve alongside your Guides you will eventually realize these beneficial attributes. Tak

    “That’s enough of you bumpkins. Stop smearing my windows with your ugly faces.” Perceiving the elated students daubing their squishy countenance against her pristine office window, Ms Philosopho garnered their attention with an austere scolding. The elated students hurriedly removed their faces from the glass pattern then went over to where Ms Philosopho was directing them.Reaching the centre of her spacious office, Ms Philosopho pressed firmly against an idle script that was plastered onto the wall. After she traced activated the mysterious script, a great alteration of dimensions occurred; causing multiple rows of desks to start appearing in the office’s centre.“Now this looks more like a classroom.” Said Ms Philosopho satisfyingly. “You may all sit down wherever you please.”“You heard her, class. Go ahead.” Ms Enjoy urged the students to sit wherever.“Okay.” Dam Son sat at the very front of the room. Seeing his boastful approach, Ms Philosopho thought of him as daring.‘This Da

    After Dam Son’s skilful display of crafting a level-3 Augmented Weapon without prior knowledge or experience, the students began viewing Wordsmith Mastery in a new light.Ms Philosopho asked her students, “Now that I’ve demonstrated to you the basic brilliance of Wordsmiths, do you still think that they are only good for refining Mundane Letters?”“No ma’am!” Answered the students in unison; some were even trembling as they spoke.“I had no idea a Wordsmith’s abilities would be so terrifyingly amazing! Imagine if I could craft myself a legendary Augmented Weapon.”“Then it would save your family a whole lot of Q-currency!”“I know right? Plus it would save me a fortune in having somebody else refine Mundane Letters for me.”“Now I am considering to choose Wordsmith as one of my main masteries. Who cares about strength in this peaceful age? Money is what matters. If I could craft such high-tier items and sell them, I would become very rich! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”“Tsk, how shameless.” Cinder Bu

    The students were startled upon recognizing Ms Ever Moist’s sudden invitation for battle. “What is teacher suggesting? Does she want us to fight against her?”“This is so sudden! I thought we were here to learn the theoretical basics of Word Augmenter!”Overhearing the puzzlement of the students, Ms Enjoy clarified to them, “This is her style of introducing new students to her Word Mastery. Unlike the general lessons and Wordsmith Mastery which focused more on theoretical lessons, Word Augmenter Mastery is more of a practical aspect. There is still some theoretical knowledge involved. However, for this introduction, she wishes to grasp your abilities as nascent Word Augmenters.”“I see. So that’s it.” The students felt less strained after hearing Ms Enjoy’s explanation about Ms Ever Moist’s abrupt invitation to battle.“What are you all still standing around for? Come at me together.” Ms Ever Moist taunted the students to attack. “If I don’t see either of you making a move within the

    After a hard day of training, Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun washed their bodies clean inside Jin Hennessy’s soothing onsen. This was the first time he had ever allowed them to bathe there, this meant he was beginning to warm up to them despite his abrasive demeanour.Finished washing up, the students got dressed then prepare to leave for the Tower of Residence. Coming down the flight of stairs protruding the mountainside, Dam Son conversed with his companions about the perks of their training. Eventually, their conversation shifted to something else.“Did you guys hear about the new arcade that recently opened up in the adjoining complex of the Page Coliseum?”“I knew that long before you did, turtle.”“This is the first time I’m hearing about it.” Dam Son was clueless. “What is an arcade?”Sugar Bun answered. “It’s a cool place that has lots of fun games to play. Recently it has turned into the new hotspot for bored students. A fellow classmate told me that the arcade has imported u

    On his way outside the laboratory, Dam Son walked by a dark-robed stranger who glanced at him menacingly. “Ouch, my head.” He felt a slight pain emerging from his forehead but it subsided the moment he went by the dark-robed man.“Hmm…” The dark-robed man stopped at the laboratory’s entrance to stare back at Dam Son’s fading presence. Looking down at the Blue Kismet Coin in his palm, he thought internally, ‘Did my coin just react out of impulse just now or…?’ Not lingering too much on what he felt earlier, the dark-robed man entered the laboratory.“Huh?” Turning his head to identify the intrusive presence, Vor Eyes recognized who it belonged to, “Brother your back? One of these days you’re going to give me a heart attack if you continue sneaking up on me like that.”Getting straight to the point, Tor Eyes asked his little brother, “Who was that kid I saw coming out just now?”“Oh, that’s the friend I spoke to you about last night, remember?”“Friend? Is he a classmate of yours?”“No,

    Finished aligning the refined Mundane Letters in their respective chambers, Vor Eyes step aside so that Dam Son could admire their beauty. “So, what do you think about the refinement procedure, wasn’t it fun?”“Indeed it was. Watching you go to work like that was even better to look at. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to get so good at refining Mundane Cores.”Vor Eyes blushed, “It didn’t take me that long to learn. How about you Dam Son, want to try? I have more Mundane Cores chilling in the refrigerator.”Dam Son pondered Vor Eyes' offer for a while before he answered, “You bet I would. I came here with that reason in mind after all.”“Okay!” Vor Eyes became excited to instruct his new friend. “I’m going to go grab another one from the refrigerator. You can get settled around the desk until I get back.”“Alright.” Dam Son motioned closer towards the workbench. As he was about to sit down, his sapphire suitcase became all tingly. “Suit, what’s the matter?” It responde

    Chapter 57 - Refining Mundane Cores

    Vor Eyes workstation had a particular beauty to it that impressed Dam Son. It wasn’t that big but it had enough space to accommodate certain essential equipment needed for Wordsmiths to flourish. By the main desk was an array of newly developed booklets seamlessly intertwined with a series of portable Arcane Baths. Many thick tubes connected to these booklets ran directly into a larger immovable Arcane Bath located in the centre of the workstation. That was where the finished creation would usually emerge.As he began the process of walking Dam Son through the refining of Raw Mundane Letters, Vor Eyes elaborated on the various tools, tips & trades he would be utilizing. He went over to a storage cabinet where Raw Mundane Letters were being refrigerated. “This is what they actually look like before processing.”“Wow, interesting. I’ve never seen one this close up before.” After Vor Eyes brought the Raw Mundane Letter closer, Dam Son admired it closely. It was comprised of a spherical g

Later that night, Dam Son along with the rest of his classmates were all released from Raixom Academy Campus Station after being subjected to a series of questioning. The head of the guards was an intimidating individual who knew how to squeeze the correct answers from those he interrogated. This being Vor Eyes' first offence, they allowed him to walk with a proper warning.“Guys, you’re finally out.” Coming outside, Dam Son and the others who were previously held captive saw Sugar Bun and Trish waiting for them at the entrance. “What took you all so long?”“Cut the chitchat Trish. We’re heading back.” Cinder Burn led the way for her crew. Together, the Leaf Widows journeyed to the Tower of Residence.Sugar Bun went over to Xuan Li and asked, “So, how did it go inside?”“Tsk, they asked us a bunch of annoying questions.

    The fiery rock monster that was wreaking havoc on the central marketplace became more vicious in its onslaught. Aside from spitting molten rocks everywhere, it fed on the earth’s surface by combining with the rocky properties to increase its size. Now it was towering over 50 metres long.“Rock Fan, stop it! You’re destroying my place of study!” A concerned stubby boy sporting 4 sets of monocles on his face came rushing towards the fiery rock monster with a particular device in his hand that hosted a portable Arcane Bath. He constantly tapped the moist interface, trying to get his invention to respond.“No! No! No! It’s not responding. The link must have gotten cut off somehow.” The boy looked worried. “What should I do? If the campus guards get here before I can stop Rock Fan’s malfunctioning behaviour then they will destroy its core. I can’t allow that to happen.” The boy couldn’t wait for his invention to be obliterated. He decided to take matters into his own hands to curtail the d

Cinder Burn emerged the victor, yet she was still displeased by the outcome. “My thirst for vengeance won’t be satiated until I defeat that kid I suppose.” Finally, she withdrew her foot from Dam Son’s chest; allowed him to get up then walked away toward her friends.“It’s about time. I thought you were going to stand on me forever.” Saying this, Dam Son helped himself up from the ground. At the same time, his friends came over to assist him.“I knew you were going to lose. There was no way you could beat that girl in your weakened state.” Sugar Bun checked Dam Son’s body for injuries, “You’re not badly injured are you?”“I can manage.” Dam Son was hurting pretty badly but he shrugged it off as nothing.“I can’t believe you came out of that unscathed, your toughness is truly amazing.” Xuan Li also assisted Dam Son to his feet.Smilingly, Dam Son replied, “I survived because she went easy on me.

They were walking through the streets completely soaked in the nutritious water from the Sea of Verbs.“Whew, Master Jin really knows how to work us to a tired tail.” Sugar Bun sighed. He felt more haggard when he reflected on the arduous training he had just been through.“At least the geezer gave us a break this time around. It wasn’t as hard as the mountain climbing training.” Though he was also tired, Xuan Li was excited to have learnt the very basics of manifesting Natural verb Force. “The fish training wasn’t all that bad.”“You’re only saying that because you’ve reaped a lot of benefits.” Dam Son told him. “So what if did? Soon I will surpass you Dark-Human, so you better prepare yourself.”“I don’t view that as a problem, surpass all you want.” Saying this, Dam Son willingly slowed his speed to allow Xuan Li to walk ahead of him.“Hey, what do you think y

    Chapter 52 - The Path Of Nouns & Numbers

    Within Caromine Institute at the Word Augmenter training facility, Ms Ever Moist was educating Cinder Burn about the fundamentals of successfully manifesting Nounal force. They trained side by side each other mimicking each other’s movements. So far, Cinder Burn was grasping a little of the basics.Nounal Force was quite similar to Natural Verb Force. Both of them were innate elements that stemmed from a certain increase and influx of a Word Master’s inherent Letter Force. What separated the two are their structural application. In short, Natural Verb Force mostly involves manifestation around the body while Nounal Force has to do with boosting a weapon’s capabilities. Trying to crisscross the two would result in an unstable result of element pronunciation.“I think I’m getting the hang of it now.” Cinder Burn followed each step taught to her by her teacher. While rousing a partial property of her Letter Force, she maintained her focus on the Augmented Weapon. Moments later, she began
