Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 18: The Brawl
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
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 19: The Party
They stopped a few feet away from the Elves, who were surrounded by dozens of Reapers, impatiently awaiting their rescuer.Just as Yuri had predicted, the Elves were encircled by the Reapers, waiting for their savior, and here he was. "Waiting for someone?"Kael shouted, capturing the attention of all the Reapers, before turning to Yuri. "Keep her safe.""You do not need to remind me of my duty, Dwarf,"Yuri replied, tossing his sword to Kael, who caught it effortlessly. "Dwarf..."he thought to himself. 'He believes I am from the Dwargon clan.'Kael gazed at the sword for a moment before turning to face the Reapers. 'I am uncertain of my ability to wield a sword. It feels weighty in my hand.' "Alexa, what is the likelihood that I can wield a sword?"ALEXA - THE PROBABILITY OF WIELDING A SWORD IS 10/100.Kael sighed upon hearing Alexa's report. This system had been delivering bad news lately. "Activate Shadow Movement,"he commanded, and promptly disappeared from his position, reappearing
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 20: Dying Twice
"Brakor, Jun, Damien, Ugarth, Mowen, it is a pleasure to see all of you, especially you, Brakor,"King Jade remarked upon settling into his seat."I cannot fathom the fact that I will have the pleasure of seeing you again, Your Majesty."Brakor bowed slightly and the King clenched his teeth"Then you should not have returned with your eyes intact,"King Jade quipped, eliciting laughter from the crowd. One of the maidens poured red wine into his cup and offered it to him."Here's to life,"he declared, raising his cup in a toast. "Cheers."The guests responded in unison, raising their own cups and downing the wine simultaneously."Bring me more,"the King commanded as the feast continued. The atmosphere was jovial, with the conversation transitioning to light-hearted topics. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, except for the Princess, who remained quiet. She scanned the room with a contemplative gaze, as if searching for someone."Your Majesty, the feast is prepared,"one of the maide

..... "Kael Sir, please come and join us for today's training," a guard called out."I've heard that the Dwargons are skilled in swordsmanship. Please come and train us," another Elf requested."I've heard stories of you defeating multiple Reapers at once. Please come and share your techniques with us," another Elf chimed in.The Elves were quick to remark on Kael's presence as he passed by. His reputation within the Elvarin clan had skyrocketed, and everyone aspired to match his strength."Kael," Yuri interjected before Kael could respond to the guard's request. He turned to see that he was surrounded by four Elves, including Yuri, all armed with swords.ALEXA: NOTICE! THE FOUR ELVES ARE ELITE GUARDS OF THE ELVARIN KINGDOM UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL THALRIC. THEY'RE IN THE RANK 4 OF THE CELESTIAL NOVICE."Rank 4?" Kael pondered silently as he observed the Elves, particularly Yuri, who wore a warm smile."These are my comrades. I want to showcase your power to them," Yuri boasted,

"What? Are you still preoccupied with thoughts of your lineage?" He pondered, while Kael rubbed his head."Stop pretending, young man. You cannot deceive me," he added."You are already aware. I suffer from amnesia. I cannot recall my place of origin, but I have a sense that I belong to the Dwargon kingdom," Kael responded."Indeed, you have mentioned it before, but I simply wished to verify. Take this," Brakor said, handing him a parchment. "I have an acquaintance in the Dwargon kingdom. If you present this to any guard, they will escort you to him," Brakor explained as Kael promptly folded the parchment."Thank you sincerely, Sir Brakor," he expressed with a slight bow."I am merely repaying a fraction of my debt to you," he responded before turning to depart. He took three steps forward, then suddenly halted. "I forgot to inquire of you Kael, but what sorcery did you employ to thwart my assault?""It is not sorcery. It is a skill. The Ultimate Predator skill. It allows me to consu
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 23: King Jade's Judgement
Chapter 23: King Jade's Judgement... "What's happening, Alexa? Why am I so weak?" ALEXA: OBSERVE. AN UNIDENTIFIED SUBSTANCE IS COURSING THROUGH THE PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE BODILY WEAKNESS.A blow was struck against him for the umpteenth time, resulting in his collision with the wall. The wall fractured under the force of the impact as he sank to the ground, his eyelids growing heavier with each passing moment."You vile nuisance. You inflicted harm on the innocent maiden."The resonant voice of General Thalric reverberated as he charged towards Kael with frenzied velocity. He extended his left foot in an attempt to strike Kael's countenance, only to have his attack thwarted as Kael seized his leg.His grip faltered almost instantaneously, compelling him to release General Thalric's foot.A smirk played on General Thalric's lips as he gazed at Kael, well aware of Kael's weakened state and seizing the moment.He grasped Kael by the neck, hoisting him
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 24: The Core
Chapter 24: The Core It was the early hours of the morning, the sun had not yet begun to rise. The forest resounded with the chirping of birds and the chorus of crickets. Ordinarily, those sounds would be the only ones to fill the forest, but on this particular day, when Kael was exiled from the Elvarin Kingdom, the forest echoed with the sounds of whimpering. Kael was observed crawling deeper into the forest in search of any remedy that could alleviate his condition. Moments earlier, he was informed by Alexa that he had less than two hours to live. Now, he was uncertain if even an hour remained. Exhausted, his body unresponsive to his commands, he attempted to move forward by grasping a root with his arm, but to no avail. His limbs betrayed him. "Is there nothing within this forest that can provide me with healing?" He inquired aloud. ALEXA: UNFORTUNATELY, NO. THERE IS NO SIGN OF A HEALING FLOWER OR MAGIC ORE. "What of my abilities? Is there no skill that can counteract
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 25: Arctic Palace
Chapter 25: Arctic Palace A cloaked figure was observed bowing before the throne of Lord Arctic of the Loctrum clan, concealing his visage beneath the dark garment.The throne of Lord Arctic was situated in the dim recesses of the palace, rendering him invisible, yet his imposing presence was palpable not only to the figure but also to his four chiefs in attendance."My Lord, King Jade of the Elvarin Kingdom has rendered his final decree. The boy has been exiled from the Elvarin Kingdom, never to set foot there again," the figure announced, breaking the silence that had enveloped the Palace for over thirty minutes."Exactly as you foresaw, My Lord. The poison swiftly ravaged his body. I am certain he has perished by now, his remains likely devoured by a Direbrinbare in the vast Aethralis forest.""Why did it take you so long to eliminate that nuisance?" Lord Arctic's voice reverberated through the ground, prompting the four chiefs to kneel before him. His authoritative tone rendered

"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." He greeted absentmindedly causing the studen

Chapter 87: Copy Cat II
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

Chapter 84: Abducted
[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

Chapter 82: The IntimacyKael was tired when he got back to Nevermore Academy. It was already nightfall, and the moon cast his shadow in the hallway. 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
