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
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 26: Magical Monsters
Chapter 26: Magical Monsters Narrowly avoiding the tree that crashed down in his path, Kael found himself in a heated pursuit by the formidable Direbrinbare. This red-furred magical creature was determined to inflict harm upon him. As they continued to run, Kael's stamina waned, and the monster drew ever closer."How can I overcome this formidable foe?"Kael pondered as he ran. He was acutely aware that the Direbrinbare would not cease its pursuit until he was defeated, and he lacked the necessary skills to vanquish it."I must rely on my own abilities to emerge victorious,"he realized, a determined expression crossing his face as he approached a tree and propelled himself into the air.Mid-leap, he pivoted and extended his hand towards the airborne Direbrinbare, which mirrored his motion. "Ultimate Predator Skill: Poison Breath,"he intoned, feeling a searing heat emanate from his throat as a gush of hot air expelled from his mouth, forcing the Direbrinbare to crash to the ground, wh
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 27: Magical Monsters II
Chapter 27: Magical Monsters IIKael, with great difficulty, tried to stand up amidst the deafening cries of the Direbrinbare echoing through the forest. The creature fought desperately to break free from its entrapment, but all its efforts were in vain. Kael's body was covered in painful bruises, his skin so darkened that he was barely recognizable. Standing there, he observed as the Direbrinbare eventually stopped struggling and surrendered to the encroaching darkness. Suddenly, a voice from Alexa rang out, alerting everyone present that the Direbrinbare had shown no signs of life.ALEXA: NOTICE. THE DIREBRINBARE SHOWS NO SIGN OF LIFE."Do not feign ignorance, Alexa, regarding your familiarity with the technique of Earth manipulation,"he inquired, as the scorching breeze relentlessly assaulted his skin.ALEXA: UNAWARE OF SUCH A TECHNIQUE..."What? How is it possible that I was able to utilize it?"He exclaimed loudly.ALEXA: I DON'T KNOW"I believed you held the key to all knowledge
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 28 - The Guardian of Aethralis
Chapter 28 - The Guardian of AethralisThe blade moved at the speed of sound, aimed directly at Kael as he deftly dodged the attack meant for his head. Looking around, he was surprised not to see anyone. He felt no presence and Alexa did not alert him."Something must be amiss,"he thought to himself as he quickly bent down to avoid the same blade passing over his head. It was a star blade, gleaming brightly.Kael let out a breath when he straightened up, caught off guard by the unexpected assault. Who would anticipate a blade moving backward and then forward? He turned his head to see if there was a reason the blade rebounded towards him, but found none.As he shifted his gaze, another star blade approached from the left. narrowly evading it, though it left a small cut on his lower abdomen. Holding his stomach, he scanned the area to find dozens of blades surrounding him."Who are you? Show yourself!"he demanded angrily, but received no response. The blades advanced slowly towards him
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 29 - A human
Chapter 29 - A human"I know you're awake. Stop pretending."The werewolf's voice reverberated through Kael's ears, compelling him to open one eye. He was suspended from the thatched roof, hanging upside down in the middle of the room, his head swaying back and forth. His blurred vision fixed upon the werewolf, who stood next to a woman proclaiming herself the Guardian of Aethralis—a figure she believed he had annihilated, though he had no knowledge of who or what Aethralis was. To his right stood a man with two small horns protruding from his forehead, his face devoid of emotion. This sight elicited a fleeting smirk from Kael, which vanished almost instantly. These were insignificant adversaries, he thought, closing his eyes once more, savoring the remnants of his interrupted slumber."You can't be serious," the werewolf growled, and Kael's eyes snapped open. The word "fucking" had been echoing in his mind since he first emerged from the ocean, a word whose meaning eluded him. He loc
Chronicles of Aetheria Chapter 30 - His Regret
Chapter 30 - His Regret👀 Kael's POV 👀A lot has happened prior to my arrival in this world known as Aetheria.I woke up beside an ocean, cold and tattered, with no memories of how I got there. The last thing I recalled was drowning in the middle of the ocean. I began my quest, a search for fire. The first edible item I consumed in this world was from an unknown source.I was knocked out by some gruesome creature, which I later found out from my fellow captive to be Trollocs. I managed to free Rose from her chains, and she freed us from the hands of the Trollocs.Unfortunately, we fell into the hands of some deadly armies called the Reapers. That was where I learned that Rose is a princess of the Elvarin Kingdom.We were taken to the Loctrum clan. I was beaten, humiliated, and stoned by the villagers. I was different. I don't even know what I am. I was to fight for my freedom alongside other captives. We fought and won by luck. We were just two remaining, and I was told to kill my s

Her sister appeared and disappeared...I felt her hands wrapped around my neck as she pulled me into a tight embrace. "We have to reach the village as soon as possible," she said, and I nodded in her arms as we both vanished into thin air.We reappeared in a clearing; it was the spot where I had roasted the meat of a Direbrinbare. I thought we would appear in the village. I bet I was wrong.She grabbed my left wrist, and we started running forward, her legs still not touching the ground. "Sorry... I can't take us straight to the village." She apologized as if it was her fault.I knew if she was alone, she would get to the village in no time. So, I'm the burden here, not her.We arrived in the village after a long run. I was so exhausted, and so was she. Smoke filled the air from different directions, buildings were destroyed. The ground w

"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
