Chapter 11; Bloody Dinner The cave was dark and silent, only the sounds of crickets could be heard when Eleven groaned loudly.“Damn!” he cursed, nursing his foot. He had stormed his foot on a rock and it tore immediately, causing him great pain.The pain seemed to connect with every other pain in his body as he collapsed on the rocky ground, tears streaming from his eyes.‘Are you stupid? It's a dead end,’ his subconscious mind told him, and he started having second thoughts.“But I have to save him,” he said to himself. “He's the reason I'm still alive.”‘And you're the reason he's still breathing?’ his subconscious mind pressed on as he crawled forward, using his hands as a guide.‘What assurance do you have that he isn't dead yet?’“Enough!” he screamed, banging his fist on the hill. His voice echoed through the cave. He squeezed his face, trying to withstand the pain before advancing forward.Suddenly, the cave started shaking, particles of rock began falling down. He had alerte

He wasn’t in the cave anymore. Instead, he found himself in a vast, ethereal landscape, shimmering with vibrant colors and strange, floating symbols. It felt like being inside a living, breathing dream.He looked around, confused and disoriented.“Where am I?” he wondered aloud, his voice echoing in the vast emptiness.SYSTEM INITIALIZING...

I can't believe I came back just to die.’ He pondered, his gaze on the Trolloc who kept on advancing towards him.His both legs were seized by the Trolloc and he was raised from the ground, his head slapping the floor.‘So this is how it ends.

SYSTEM ANALYZING… THE SKILL ESSENCE ABSORPTION HAS BEEN UNLEASHED A robotic voice echoed as the Trolloc threw Kael up with great force, causing him to twirl in the air.“That voice!

Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 14: Snake Intimacy
Chapter 14: Snake Intimacy Arctic, the esteemed ruler of the Loctrum clan and the Commander of the fearsome army called the Reapers, could be observed in a state of serene repose upon his majestic throne, his eyes shut in contemplation as a sinister aura enveloped his entire being.He was not alone in the throne room; his servants, the formidable Reapers, stood in pairs before the throne. Their eyes fixed on the ground, hands clasped behind their backs. Three heads lay on the ground amidst the Reapers, belonging to the Elites slain by their formidable master, Lord Arctic of the Loctrum clan."Shouldn't it be five?"His voice resonated throughout the room, prompting one of the Reapers to swiftly bow."I eliminated one, but another managed to flee,"the Reaper who had clashed with Yuri and Giyu moments earlier explained."How dare you?"Lord Arctic thundered, his fist tightening on the throne. This action caused black blood to seep from every orifice of the Reaper's body. "Find him."The R

Chapter 15: The Savior She struggled to break free, but her efforts were in vain. The only recourse she considered was biting into the snake's flesh, yet she knew better than to attempt such a dangerous act. Aware of the snake's poisonous nature and her vulnerability to its venom, she hesitated.Before she could formulate her next move, Yuri appeared before her, assuming a poised stance as he held the sword horizontally in the air, aiming for her heart. With a swift motion, he thrust the sword directly towards her chest, producing a sharp, piercing sound that reverberated through the air. Surprisingly, she did not cry out nor feel any pain."Ouch, that stings a bit,"Yuri heard a voice, his gaze following the sound. Looking up, he was met with the sight of a monstrous being standing before him – a Trolloc, a fusion of man and beast. It became evident that he had mistakenly struck the Trolloc's hand instead of the Princess.Retrieving the sword, Yuri directed his next thrust towards t

Chapter 16: Rescuing the Elves ***A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER***"I instructed all of you to resume your tasks. Do you believe that someone will miraculously come to your aid? Tsk tsk tsk... Arm yourselves and begin working," the Guard shouted loudly, but the Elves paid him no heed. Their attention was solely fixed on the elderly man who was on the brink of death."I had forewarned you that the Black Boy wouldn't survive. Who knows what fate has befallen him?" questioned one of the Elves, addressing no one in particular."I am confident that he must have perished or fallen prey to one of those formidable creatures. This is all the more reason for you to labor," he chuckled and blew a whistle. Almost instantly, three guards entered the cave and began lashing the Elves, who were too intimidated to resist. They hastily retrieved their weapons and commenced breaking down the stones."And what about you, Old Man? Will you not rise from your position?" the guard sneered, referring to Brakor, who

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Shadow Movement "Are you of the human race?" He inquired, to which they shook their heads. "Humans are prohibited from entering this region. Their realm lies to the far north," one of the guards replied with a tremor in his voice. "In that case, what lineage do you belong to?" "We hail from the Dworgin lineage," they all exclaimed, causing Kael to cover his ears. Enraged, he swiftly struck each of them with the back of his hand. 🗣️He's truly remarkable 🗣️His appearance is captivating; if only I were a lady 🗣️We are deeply indebted to Mr. Red 🗣️Our lives are owed to him Kael smiled in response to the accolades from the Elves. The praise was reassuring and calming. He closed his eyes briefly, sensing a presence behind him. When he turned, it was too late, as a sword pierced his lower abdomen. To his bewilderment, it was one of the guards. Kael couldn't comprehend how the guard had appeared so swiftly without his notice. Still in a state of shock, Kae

ALEXA: THE SPIKES ARE POISONOUS. NO SKILL IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO RESIST IT."Elf magic: Obsidian Shield!" A commanding voice rang out as a cerulean barrier enveloped them, deflecting the incoming ice shards. The duo turned to behold Rose, standing with outstretched arms and radiant blue eyes.As the shield dissipated, the resounding laughter of Lord Arctic reverberated throughout the labyrinth. "How does it feel to be rescued by a lady?" he taunted, forming intricate hand gestures as he advanced towards the trio."She is not merely a lady. She is the Princess of..." Brakor's sentence was abruptly cut off as Lord Arctic unleashed a devastating blast upon them. Reacting swiftly, Rose intertwined her fingers, causing the blast to detonate midway, while Kael vanished and reappeared in the shadow of Lord Arctic. Despite his efforts to push Lord Arctic away, Kael found himself overpowered and flung from the crust of Aetheria."Lord Arctic excels not only in magic but also in physical co

"Get up Kael.. You'll be late to class again." Dogo said, tapping his shoulder. "Allow me to sleep a little bit, just a little bit." Kael protested using the pillow to cover his head when Dogo jumped on the pillow, landing with his butt on it. "I heard an old student of Nevermore Academy has returned.. The most beautiful maiden in the Magic Department." Dogo said with smiles on his face. "And how's that my own business?" Kael groaned from underneath the pillow and Dogo chuckled, rising to his feet. "Everything about it is your business." He said amidst chuckling and walked out of the room. Kael laid on the bed for more than 10 minutes before finally getting on his feet and walked into the bathroom. Within 30 minutes, he had finished dressing up and then proceed towards the class. "I haven't eaten for long." He grumbled, holding his stomach as he managed and enter the class only to interrupt the Teacher's teaching. "Good Morning Ma."

Kael’s poison resistance skill helped him nullify the poison, and as he got to his feet, Elder Qin emerged from the root cage with sharp talons in place of fingers.Elder Qin charged wildly at Kael, who punched the earth hard, throwing sand into the air. This didn't affect Elder Qin, who clawed his way through the sand, advancing toward Kael's stomach. Kael didn't see him coming as the claw slashed his shirt, ripping off his clothes and causing him to crash to the ground."Flower Magic: Gerit Trapatea," Elder Qin chanted, causing flowers to grow from the ground and trap Kael’s legs and arms, immobilizing him."You can't win against me, Kael. Not in this life. Not this way," Elder Qin said, walking up to him with the intent of finishing him off. But as he advanced, his bones started to crack.The rain had stopped drizzling as his talons grew longer, and he fell on all fours as his backbone crawled out of his back.Elder Qin was transforming, and Kael knew it.

"We are both Nexus Mages, but while you're at the Middle Stage of the Radiant Adept, I am at the Last Stage of the Radiant Adept. I'm afraid to say, Kael Stoneforge, the price of the antidote is your life, and you're going to pay for it in a brutal way," Kael heard the voice of Elder Qin as the cave wall cracked heavily, releasing overwhelming magical essences into the air."Freya, get up and find a place to hide. I'll show this guy why I'm called Kael," Kael screamed out loud as he released his own overwhelming essence into the air, summoning his sword to him.He charged at Elder Qin at once, who summoned a staff into his grip, countering Kael's attack with it. Kael glared hard as he pressed against the staff, causing his blade to break through it. Elder Qin made the staff vanish, ducking to avoid Kael's blow, which swung through the air instead. In that moment, Elder Qin planted a kick on Kael's chin, sending him soaring through the air and crashing into the cave wall before slumpin

Chapter 85: The Invitation
[Two Hours Later]Kael was heading towards his room after fruitlessly waiting for Freya. He had been in the library, occupying himself with books and waiting for her to show up, but she didn't.He thought of heading to the restroom but dismissed the idea. He decided to head home instead.He turned the doorknob and found that the door was locked. It was strange not to find Dogo home by this time of day. His suspicion arose as he input his passkey and entered the room.As expected, it was empty, but something felt strange to him."Someone has been here," he said to himself, sniffing the air. He was perceiving a scent... a scent different from that of Dogo or Freya.He squinted his eyes around the room and found a letter lying on the bed. He quickly rushed and picked it up. It was a letter of invitation.He opened it and read the contents aloud, "If you want your servant, come to the cave in the woods and come alone. The Qin Family.""Oh, fuck..." he gnashed his teeth as he clenched his

[Two Days Later]"You mean Kael did this?" Qin Chun asked with a shocked expression."Yes, he did. He sabotaged our plan and exposed Qin Meng to the authorities of Nevermore Academy. Qin Meng is now a prisoner at the Academy, and he also shattered the bones of Qin Feng," Jahel answered Qin Chun as they both stood on the rooftop of Nevermore Academy, watching the students move around."Kael has caused a lot of trouble for us. It's high time we put him in his place," Qin Chun added with a frown."Kael isn't just any student. He's a noble and the heir of the House Stoneforge of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, and you're aware of the relationship between the Western Nation. Kael's not someone we can just rashly attack," Jahel revealed, causing Qin Chun to let out a sigh."We won't attack him rashly. We are going to invite him over.""Invite him over? Only a fool would accept the invitation of his enemy," Jahel stated, causing Qin Chun to chuckle."Send word to all members of the Qin Family

The Next Morning**Kael woke up late as usual, but this time he had a headache. He sat up on the bed, the events of the previous day lingering in his mind."Oh no... What have I done?" he asked himself as he flung the bedsheets aside and jumped out of bed, realizing he was naked. This was not his bed; it was Dogo's. He hadn't slept in his own bed the previous night.The door to the room opened, and Kael quickly grabbed the bedsheets as Freya entered with a smile on her face.She looked beautiful, dressed in her uniform and holding a tray of food."Oops. You're awake. I guess I'm late then," she said, dropping the tray on the table at the right corner of the room. Kael studied her expression; she had a calm look as if nothing had happened."Freya, how are you feeling now?" asked Kael, and she smiled broadly."I'm doing fine, Master, thanks to you. I never knew you'd go the extra mile even though you learned the poison was incurable," she said, and Kael chuckled."That was nothing, Frey

Althea had frustrated his life to the extent that he almost thought of harming her.His mind was filled with different thoughts as he staggered towards his room."Kael," he heard a familiar voice call out to him. He tilted his head to see Dogo approaching. A smile formed on his face as he tried hard to compose himself before he started thinking nonsense."I've been waiting for a while. I thought something bad happened to you," Dogo said, tapping his shoulder."No. I'm fine. I told you I can take on Gareld. He's a small fry for me," Kael boasted."Are you trying to brag or what?" Dogo arched a brow."Ain't doing nothing of such, brother," Kael defended."I see you trying to brag about your success because you possess some magic skills, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a 3-star..."Dogo paused immediately after turning towards
