2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey!"
A shout broke Cerberus out of his trance. He turned around coming face to face with a handsome man, his chiselled face that would make women fall in love currently bearing a frown showing contempt and disdain as he looked at Cerberus.
"Who the fuck are you?" said the young man
"..."
"Didn't you hear me, I asked who the fuck you are?"
"Isn't it polite to introduce yourself before demanding another person's identity" said Cerberus frowning at the man's rudeness.
The man scoffed, "You don't know who I am! Fine I'll enlighten you. My name is Narsta Blyke."
He then paused looking at Cerberus expecting some kind of reaction from him but all he got was a silent confused gaze.
"Am I supposed to know who you are?"
"What?!" the man was taken aback, his face turning red with rage. He was clearly feeling insulted.
"How dare you?!" he shouted, veins throbbing on his forehead "I am the son of Marquis Blyke from house Blyke of this kingdom"
Now Cerberus understood why he was angry. He still didn't know who Narsta was, but he understood the position of the Marquis. His father had educated him on the power structure of this world, and it was basically a medieval sort of hierarchy with the King standing at the top followed by a Duke Marquis Count Viscount Baron Lord and finally Knight. Of course, there were other titles such as an Archduke which was a special title ranked higher than any Duke but basically the mentioned titles were the most known.
Based on this hierarchy a Marquis was considered an incredibly powerful individual who ruled over a large piece of land within a Duchy and could call upon 50000 soldiers if the situation warranted. He was not a man Cerberus wanted to have grievances with.
"Do you finally understood who is standing before you!" said Narsta with his chest puffed outwards with pride. "I am a person born of nobility to the 7th circle mage Harlow Blyke unlike a filthy commoner such as yourself. You should kneel with gratitude at even being allowed to be in my presence."
Cerberus remained silent and unmoving at his remarks.
"Are you deaf? I said kneel!"
"No"
"Huh??"
"What did you say?"
"Are you deaf? "Asked Cerberus looking straight into Narsta's eyes" I said no"
Narsta began to shake in rage, mana gathering withing his body before radiating outwards causing the air to fluctuate as the ground began to tremble.
"How dare you defy the words of a noble! Defying the commands of a noble is punishable by death" He began chant a spell incantation. Mana gathered rapidly around his now outstretched right hand as he continued chanting. Finally, he finished chanting and uttered the word "Fireball"
A magic circle appeared in the air and with a flash a large fireball half his size appeared, its orange flames burning intensely causing Cerberus to start sweating. The fireball launched towards Cerberus evaporating the water in the atmosphere around it wherever it passed.
Of course Cerberus hadn't been simply staring at Narsta without doing anything to defend himself. He had also been chanting forming his own attack which he now unleashed.
"Water sphere"
A magic circle appeared and with a flash, a large ball of water shot towards the fireball.
Boom!!
The water sphere collided with the fireball creating a huge gust of steam and for a moment the two opposing objects were in equilibrium balancing each other out but under the surprise of Narsta, the water sphere suddenly devoured the fireball completely neutralizing it before travelling towards him.
Narsta tried to chant a protection spell, but he was already too late. The water sphere smashed into his body sending him flying across the rooftop before crashing into a wall.
Pu!
He spat out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness. His chest was slightly caved in and even though the water sphere had been weakened by the fireball, it still packed the power of the compressed mana of a 4th circle mage causing him to shatter a few ribs.
Cerberus debated on whether to call for someone to heal Narsta, but he decided not to. After all, Narsta wasn't in a life-threatening situation and also more importantly…he wasn't worth the trouble.
He was no longer in the mood to observe the night sky and so he decided to head back to his room to sleep.
-------------
Ring….Ring…..
Cerberus opened his bright green eyes to a brand-new day. He sat up on his bed yawning as he fumbled with the alarm clock on the table stand next to his bed. He was still sleepy and hence couldn't see clearly which was why it took him a few seconds to locate the screaming alarm clock and turn it off. He checked the time on his watch.
[6.00 am]
This meant that he had an hour left before his deadline to meet Shawn at the food Hall for the tour.
Cerberus took some shower gel and hair conditioner from his backpack and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He hadn't taken a shower when he arrived and hence reaked of sweat from the journey to the academy.
After the shower he put on his academy uniform, which had been delivered to his room, consisting of a white shirt, black pants and one could choose whether to wear a black blazer or a black cape.
"A cape is a bit too much" thought Cerberus as he put on the blazer instead.
After checking himself in the mirror to ensure he wore everything correctly, he left the room leaving behind his backpack on the bed which he made sure to lock so that no one else but him could go through it.
Click!
The room locked behind him as he headed towards the teleportation circle.
"Transfer to ground floor"
Cerberus appeared on the lowest floor of the building and exited it with the map of the academy in his hand, walking toward the direction of the food Hall.
It took him 30 minutes to reach the entrance of the estate where a bunch of students were also seen moving through it probably heading out to have some breakfast just like him. The entrance was connected to both zones of the estate and hence female students could also be seen mixed into the crowd.
No longer needing the map, he folded it into a small enough size before stuffing it into his pocket. He then simply followed the crowd and sure enough he soon caught sight of a large grey building with the sign 'Food Hall' hanging on its front.

There were two soldiers that acted as guards at the entrance of the building. They gave off a threatening aura that Cerberus had never felt before. It had a tinge of bloodlust mixed into it that showed just how many life and death situations they had been through. This made Cerberus respect them as warriors. Cerberus arrived Infront of one of the guards who was checking the IDs of students before letting them in. The guard had a broadsword attached to his waist and a suit of armour covering his entire body. The guard checked the ID card and after confirming that it was authentic, he nodded giving his approval to pass through. The inside of the Food Hall was a large area that was much spacious than what one would expect when they observed the exterior size of the building. There were rows upon rows of long tables and chairs lined up neatly in the hall as well as a few separate tables and chairs along the edges of the hall. There was a thick red line on

Cerberus looked over the special menu seeing a variety of dishes made from blazing bulls, three horned rabbits and other low class mana beasts that cost around 1 to 10 gold coins. He then shifted my gaze to the more expensive dishes on the list. Phoenix omelette ---- 20 gold coins Fried dragon flesh ---- 25 gold coins Silver deer stew --- 15 gold coins Manticore milk --- 10 gold coins "????" Cerberus was astounded. The fact that they had phoenix and dragon meat was incredible. These were legendary creatures that were incredibly rare and even more difficult to kill. Phoenixes possessed an almost infinite regeneration capabilities and incredible flame attacks that could turn mages to ash in seconds. Dragons on the other hard were even harder to deal with as they were naturally resistant to magic, and hence magic attacks were weakened when used on them. Other than that, they also possessed incredibly hard scales that were to

"How have you been Cerberus?" asked Circe. "Good so far." This was a lie as a lot had happened yesterday but shockingly enough even the event of leaving an unconscious Narsta on the rooftop did not even faze him. So, he was in a sense speaking the truth. "What about you?" asked Cerberus out of politeness and in an instant, he came to regret this. He had forgotten just how much of a chatter box his sister was. She talked about how she had been invited to a small newcomers' party which was hosted by some noble girl students in the left zone which was where she met Petula. They had instantly hit it off becoming good friends which was why they were currently together in the breakfast hall. "Have you decided on what to do after the tour?" asked Petula, her enchanting voice attracting even more unwanted attention around them. "I was planning to visit the marketplace." "The market place?" Petula was confused why he wanted to go there.
Cerberus Blackborn Chapter 1
A young man woke up in the middle of the night, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe. His face was concocted into an expression of terror that one couldn't help but wonder what he had seen, only he would know. His pajamas, which were now completely drenched in sweat, clung to his body making him feel slightly restricted. The young man had black wavy hair, light brown skin, and a face that was a bit above average and on this particular face, a pair of eyes were glowing bright green slightly illuminating the dark room he was in. He slowly glanced around the room as if searching for something out of the ordinary only to find nothing eye-catching. He heaved a sigh of relief as he took in deep breathes to calm down his nerves. It would seem that all he had seen was merely a nightmare albeit one horrifying enough to take away his need for sleep. This wasn't the first time he had had such a nightmare as he usually had them frequently but thankfully he had a remedy to ease h

They watched with fearful eyes as Cerberus opened one of the caged and grabbed an unlucky mouse who was unable to run fast enough to dodge the human's hand. The mouse in Cerberus's hand wriggled while squeaking loudly in an attempt to escape but Cerberus' grip was firm. Cerberus closed the door of the cage and headed towards the door where an expectant Cobra stood watching him in eagerness as its tongue flickered sensing the presence of a meal. The sight of Silia frightened the caged mice causing a few to faint from terror but their terror was short-lived as Cerberus led Silia out of the room before locking the door behind him preventing Silia from entering the room. He then placed the mouse in his hand on the floor and watched as it slowly got up, its legs shaking as It glanced at its surroundings briefly before bolting off after catching the sight of the large cobra that was gazing at it. Silia watched as the mouse scampered off before taking off after it, her tongue flickering co

A disappointed look briefly flashed across Circe's face before it was replaced by the usual cheerful look she always had. Julian handed the bracelet to Circe and the backpack to Cerberus. "What is this?" asked Circe as she put on the bracelet on her right arm. "Why don't you input some mana and find out," said Julian with a cheeky look. He knew his daughter well enough to know that she was disappointed by the gift but was because she didn't know that the bracelet had another purpose other than looking pretty. Circe obeyed and input her mana into the silver bracelet. The silver bracelet glowed with a silver aura and hummed before transforming into a 3-meter long silver whip. On the silver whip were faint rune etchings which blurred and vanished a few seconds after the whip but not fast enough for Cerberus to not know what they were. He had seen such similar rune etching on one of his father's weapons and when he had asked his father a while bac

"It's beautiful," said Circe as she lovingly held the handle of the silver whip, her delicate hand stroking the rune etchings as a lovely smile bloomed on her face. Everyone in the family knew that Circe had always wanted her own personal weapon and the fact that she was a weapon enthusiast further heightened her desires and now she had gotten her wish fulfilled albeit with a newly born growth-type weapon. "the artifact was recently created and hence it hasn't awakened its ego yet so you must work hard to become stronger because the stronger you get, the stronger the artifact becomes, and when you reach the necessary level of strength required by the artifact it will awaken its ego." "Yes dad!" said Circe as she sent mana into the whip causing it to return to being a bracelet which Julian explained was its neutral form when not activated. "Now Cerb don't go thinking that I've forgotten about you" Julian turned towards Cerberus and handed him the black

Shawn laughed "that is a good question" "'Elites' is the term used to describe the top three students of all the students in a certain year. For example, Olivia here is the ranked second among the all the third-year students and is hence classified as an elite." Shawn showed a proud expression as he tapped his chest "Just so you know, I am also an elite." "I am currently ranked third among the third-year students" he said with a bitter smile. "Then who is ranked first?" Shawn turned to look at a beautiful girl with long brown hair who beamed with a confidence, her arms crossed over her bountiful chest.

Cerberus slowly opened his eyes, his back a bit sore from the constant shifting of his body while he was asleep. The view outside the window was dark which indicated that he had been asleep for a few hours since they departed from the city at around noon while now instead of the bright noon sun, the moon hung high in the sky. The night-time of this world was different compared to Earth's. For one, there were less stars in the sky but instead of one moon, there were actually two moons with one being larger than the other. The larger moon shone brightly with a silvery glow that illuminated the night and even though the moonlight could not compare to sun light, it was infinitely closer when compared to Earth's moonlight. Cerberus felt someone grip his right arm and he shifted his gaze to the person next to him. Circe was leaning on his shoulder sound asleep. Her beautiful face was illuminated by the moonlight which highlighted her beauty even further. She gripped his ar
