chapter one
Adorned with multicolored illuminating sculptures, a bright sign was also illuminated by the building, "This way, That way, Another way", Lyrically, he whispered it to himself gently. Looking down the block while sitting comfortably in the bus, he realized he was close home. The thrill began as soon as he senses the familiarity of being near a place where he grew up. It was as if nothing had changed since he left.
The familiar sensation arose in front of him, a jumble of seats and tables with people seated, people who vigorously romped on a platform, illuminated by bright multicolored disco light. .
He turned around to see Synder seated in the corner. The server's table from the front. A location that held many of their memories.
Lucian Matis is a young man in his early twenties. He is about average height, has fair skin, and has dark brown hair with spiky ends. He was a muscular man with toned muscles. When they have spare time, Lucian Matis and Synder Smith are used to hanging out like pals do; Lucian gets along well with Synder because of his straightforward demeanor.
"You are here finally" Synder stated after Lucian arrived at the location.
"Are you prepared for the trip tomorrow? Where are we going to meet? I recommend that I come to your house because the bus is stopping close by. It makes our lives easier.
How do you feel?" Synder posed an inquiry.
" I believe my location is better. "I hope you won't be late this time because lateness is one of your skill sets," Lucian said naturally, attempting to appear undisturbed.
"Well, that is something that only you are aware of. I shall be at your location as soon as feasible. Remember what I said.!!!" Synder laughed nervously.
"Hello, it's you again, you've returned, and I'll be waiting for your orders." A harsh voice came from behind them.
Lucian casts a casual glance at the speaker, a Japanese middle-aged woman dressed in traditional Japanese kimono dress. This lady normally supervises the shop and is a very curious individual, but she rarely has the opportunity to be nosy because she is always busy at the shop.
"Who say he hasn't been around?" before Lucian could speak, In response, Synder screamed angrily.
"If he's been around, why do you constantly come here alone? Could you be concealing something?"
"It's none of your concern.". Synder replied
"You say it's none of my concern, but did you know I can get you kicked out here for what you said?"
"Can you try?" Synder provoked.
She threatened after threat, but she never did anything and left them.
"This scout would be crucial, and I'd like us to put forth the effort. My granny wants me to go because she thinks she's teaching me to be a man, but I don't want to be a hero; all I want to do is live a simple life." Lucian continued their discussion after she left.
"Disagree with her by telling her what you want," Synder cut him off, mocking his mannerisms.
"No I can't. Instead than disagreeing with her, I would rather do anything she asks. Overall, it will be valuable. So all fingers points to the same thing" Lucian Replied
Although Lucian was used to taking part in adventures of this nature, he didn't think it was necessary for him to go on this scout but wouldn't want to disagree with his granny.
"I gotcha you, buddy, whatever you decide. I wont be late tomorrow; I understand the bus will not wait. Now, let's put the scout aside and concentrate on having a good time; let's begin by ordering something" ,Synder urged vehemently.
"What do you recommend we order?" Lucian exclaimed with joy.
"Of course, the usual!!". Synder replied
The two spent the rest of the night together, doing their favorite activities and visiting areas they were familiar with. They finally split up when it became late at night.
Lucian entered the home to be chastised by his grandmother for his tardiness. He went back to his room after softly consoling her.
However, Lucian dreamt of being in another universe . In this universe, Lucian was a lord who usually led a hunting expedition of wild creatures and this time was a Griffin hunting expedition. Lucian commanded thousands of soldiers who fought against these griffins using their battling prowess, magic, and a variety of other forms. Lucian's army was victorious. Even more astonishing was the fact that he was able to witness a other lords from the 12 clan bringing supernatural creatures with them for the same reason. Some of them arrived with towering Tyrannosaurus Rex and other gigantic dinosaurs, a couple of enormous Golems made of black rock, and a massive green turtle, all of which helped lead the defense against the assault by the griffins.
They were standing on a massive stone platform surrounded by a number of slain Griffins. Before the enemy had been defeated On this plateau, there were what appeared to be tens of thousands of individuals engaged in combat, with swords slamming against spears and blasts of light and magic charring the air and sky. When they first arrived on the plateau, they were greeted by hundreds of griffins.
"Soldiers, do not surrender just yet. We've made it so far! The city cannot possibly fall quite yet!" Lucian commanded to motivate his soldiers.
After putting an end to one of the griffin's life
"We have prevailed in the fight." A quiet voice shouted out loud, brimming with happiness and enthusiasm. "The kingdom… prevailed again, Lucian eagerly raised his golden sword, which had sustained damage, and held it briefly in the air above his head before bringing it crashing to the ground below him.
The others let out a collective "ahhhh" of delight.
As Lucian slashed down, a golden glow trailed behind the blade as it tore apart the massive Griffin that had just been thrown at him. This allowed him to escape the danger.
The broken pieces of the boulder crashed down onto the ground behind him with a loud boom and a whooshing sound, creating a little cloud of dirt and dust in the process. The force of the deflection caused Lucian's hurting body to shake, and his exhausted eyes looked out at the bleak scene that had just appeared in front of him. It was a bloody massacre. As yet another massive boulder crashed to the ground below, Lucian let out a loud shout and contorted his body to the side.
On the other hand, this causes Lucian to awaken from his dream. He got up and prepare for the scout
Skipping inside, Lucian found himself in his thought again. The time ticked by until it was finally the day for the scout,
"The goal of the Scouts is to develop individual who are capable of doing things, who have good habits and a strong character. Trained to have useful general knowledge, and who are physically healthy, so that they can grow up to be intelligent, kind-hearted, and courageous young men ready to build a nation". Lucian grandmother said. Even if it goes against what he want, he nodded in agreement.
" It is now your duty to bring honor to this family, I shall be your mentor. Your father went on scouts when he was your age and then returned. Even though it was no simple task for him, but you're a tough young man that I raised, so I'm confident you'll succeed and make me proud my boy. Do you think you'll be able to handle it?" . She enquired.
"I'm sure I can. You've been training me since I was a child, and I always follow your lead. Now it's up to me to prove myself. Thank you very much for everything." Lucian replied her.
Before departing for the trip, he remembered his grandmother's remarks. Lucian kept checking his watch since it was becoming late and Synder was still not here. He wishes Synder could barge in and end Grandma's motivational speech.
"My son, finish your Meal. You're already running late. I'll see you to the bus . Allow me to swiftly alter my attire ". Immediately she left Lucian dashed to the door to check for Synder. He felt like to rush over to his side.
He felt lonely on the bus when he realized he would be heading to the scout alone. Most likely Synder tricked him to encourage him. He was never interested in the first place, he thought.
"Everything will work out well, my son." She shrieked as the bus left.
Now that he's back home, he can't wait to see his grandmother and his best friend again.
He could see his buddy and granny already waiting for him as soon as the bus arrived, and he wondered what they were talking about because Synder looks extremely serious and attentive. Anyway, he figured he could get closer to Synder and throw him a friendly hit for deceiving him. He grabbed his baggage without hesitation.
The tyres screech loudly, drawing everyone's attention, while the driver slammed his hands on the steering wheel button trying to drift away from Lucian. It was too near to avoid him, and everything happened so quickly when the truck slammed into him making him unconscious as he lay lifeless on the road.
"Wiu - Wiu, Wiu – Wiu". When Lucian was being rushed to the hospital, the emergency ambulance sounded its siren.
".
Lucian grandmother was sitting next to him in the ambulance. Suddenly, She got up and looked at her son's face in shock as she panicked and tried to get back in control. She taps his hands as tears start to fall out of nowhere. "Lucian," she said in a whisper, expecting him to answer quickly like he always does."Please sit down, Ma'am. We're doing our best, and everything will be fine," the nurse told Lucian's grandmother as she quickly join them back as they tried to save Lucian life.The ambulance stopped all of a sudden. The emergency care service came out quickly and took Lucian away on a stretcher. Lucian granny ran with them as they took him, scratching her head as she watched her only surviving family member being rushed to the patient room."Please be strong for me, my dear ," she begged Lucian . The nurses hurried him to the patient room. As soon as he was inside, Lucian granny stood outside and watched as doctors rushed in to help.Watching as the doctors try to bring him b
"Hello, gentleman," the secretary said to Synder as soon as he walked through the hospital door.She smiled at him and said, "Welcome back."Inquiringly, "Do you see blood?" She asked Synder whether he had been bleeding all along. It had gotten his attention and scared him. His proximity to her made it possible for her to conduct a thorough examination of him."Oh! It's just a minor cut, come closer and I'll apply this spirit and you'll be fine." The secretary said. Ointment was administered, and the blood was removed."Hmm, I've been keeping an eye out for you," the secretary said. Please find enclosed your deposit for Lucian Matis' Operation". Synder received the piece of paper that she had passed him.Synder picked up the document and thanked the secretary for washing his wound as he left the office. He tried to look up the specifics of the procedure, the payment had been made in full. He wondered aloud whether this was the medical issue Jack's neighbor had been referring to when s
Planet RombusLucian paused, completely taken aback by the simplicity of the space that had been revealed in the absence of the blue box that had been obstructing his vision. The sanitized white hospital room was vanihed, and in its place was something that looked like a dorm room...? It had a little hole in it. A little bed with a nightstand, a sparse desk, a small dresser, and two closed doors–one next the bed and one across the room–were all there was.That was the end of it. There were no machinery keeping him alive, no pipes pumping anything into his arms or checking his pulse. Instead of disinfection, his nose was filled with a subtle sense of cedar and herbs.He looked at the pale arms he was holding in front of him in awe. They were frail, yet they appeared to be in good health.Is it true that these are my arms? He turned his hands over and over, watching the play of light pouring in through the window. He puhed the blanket off his legs and sought to stand with a thought. He
Lucian looked at the screen in front of him and ignored Justin and Adam for a while. They smiled and waited for him to turn back to them. He made a small frown as he looked at his numbers and then looked at the two of them with a questioning look."Quick question… Do I have it right that the average stat for a normal person is, like, ten?"Justin looked shocked, while Adam smiled in agreement. "You're right! How did you find out?“Oh… I just guessed...". All of the average human's stats were 10, but he had four that were 1-2 points below that. He had three stats that were "above average" out of the seven he had. He was pretty happy with how smart he was, though. But since it was one of the few things that seemed to be the same as in his old life, well... It was the only thing he had a real chance to work on.He didn't know what to do, use the luck stat, however. Was it luck that he had to spend time in his life in bed? But still... He was here with a new body, wasn’t he? Perhaps his l
As Lucian moved behind Kevin and Adam, the alarm rang, "Bzzzt Bzzzt Bzzzt.""What's going on, and what's that noise?" the sound pained Lucian's ears, he inquired as to what was causing it."That is the emergency alarm sound and It appears there is a problem," Adam said to Kevin. This alarm signified they were being summoned to the parade as Rhombus' guardians army.As they began to sprint with Lucian to the ground the rest of Rhombus's residents fled in a flurry to safety.Kevin said, "Yes, we have to report to parade asap."Soon, Lucian saw others dressed in the Guardian uniform coming out of their apartment to join them on their way to the parade.The light azure sky was painted by the frosty sky. Snowflakes, or little white specks as they were known to man, swayed in the breeze, slowly dismounting and gilding the soil with their magnificent beauty.As the grains collided with the dirt, a chaotic display of snowy avalanches erupted into the frigid atmosphere, producing a spectacular
The dragon, encased in the blue barrier, extended its mew, unleashing a sea of lethal electric shocks that poured into the barrier's walls.The flurry of the diverging snakes of lightning that tortured the barrier, impaired in an instant, then gradually vanished like a disappearing flame. The three men all confirmed the incident before delivering the notification Lucian had been waiting for."The dragon's power has been diminished.""Young lord, do it.""Deliver the fatal blow."Listening to their messages, Lucian ran forward slowly, and as he approached the obstruction, he swiveled down at the dragon's head.Lucian's zooming silhouette was reflected in the dragon's eyes before his sword impacted its head. "rooooooooooooooar." When the enormous creature felt a splitting twinge on its skull, it reflexively retreated its head, its talons scraping on the torn ground, leaving an extended claw mark.Lucian rapidly made another movement with his sword, aiming at the creature's long neck, bu
Lucian and Synder, as usual, they gathered at their favorite spot. In a departure from their usual conversation, Synder decided to inquire about his trance. Random facts regarding what had happened suddenly filled Lucian consciousness, as if to answer Synder inquiry."As a result, I recall being hit by a truck. After that, I reincarnated into another universe, wondering what I was doing there and, if I hadn't died in the accident, what was I doing here? This is not my hometown."The waiter interrupted them, asking what they wanted to eat, while Lucian was distracted.Synder quickly gave them their customary order."We were taught to hunt wild creatures in order to save our planet and the entire universe. This is something I've been meaning to tell you. I'm tired of this existence; while it's interesting here, it's tedious for someone like me who used to live in a planet where I hunted mighty animals and fought wars."Having lost interest in Everything that was happening, Synder concen
Lucian awoke early as usual . He preferred to do his morning workout in his room; however he changed his mind and stormed out of the room. He dashed in and out of the bathroom in a jiffy. Did a little workout a bit and dress up immediately. He barged out of his room in hesitation.He can't wait to hear the news; perhaps it has anything to do with his reason for being here.Dashing through the staircase he headed straight to the parlor."Where are you running off to, my boy?""Do you think there's a problem?" When he met up with his grandma in the parlor, she reprimanded him for his rash behavior."Nothing, mama; I'm just going to see Synder." He stepped out of the house after receiving that response.Lucian walked along the alleyway, passing by a diverse group of people going about their daily routines.Lucian didn't bother getting into a car because his friend's house was only few blocks away.Ever since he came out of his trance, he has been walking really quickly. During the time t
As a result of Ledia's response, the four Tiar ten troops were forced to abandon their assault. Lucian cocked his chin to the side and directed his glance at Ledia, who wore a gorgeous smile while appearing bewildered. He was aware enough to choose to ignore the shockwaves coursing through his body at the time. He had no notion her system talent was so potent that it could retire four opponents of equivalent strength with a single blow."Mhhhh!"At the same time that Lucian was staring at Ledia in awe, the other four guys sneered in disgust, and a frightening glint flashed in their line of sight. As soon as they became aware of what was going on, they decided to deploy the most effective offensive techniques they possessed as they continued their push into Lucian.Despite their continual movement, each of them performed a unique spell that could only be seen within the borders of the Kingdom of the Dark Universe."Glazing froat palm enchantment!" When one of them yelled, he solidified
During this time, Lucian and Ledia were continually charting while also having a leisurely stroll down the corridor. Because their talk was moving at a slower pace than usual, the two of them had been standing in the corridor for quite some time.They were, however, able to successfully avoid the tersold, which was positioned in the opposite part of the corridor. As the two of them were going to move further into the canal, Lucian drew Ledia behind him and fixed his serious gaze on the area ahead of them.Ledia couldn't stop the query "What's the matter?" She saw how solemn he appeared. Despite this, rather than reacting to her, Lucian used his finger to draw a line across the top of his lip, implying that she should be silent. He chose to do this rather than answer her question since he didn't want to intimidate the opponent. He then gently removed the ice sword from the storage device he had been using up until that point.Gaius, who was serving as commander in the center of the Dar
The army that was already following in Cedric's footsteps became instantly more motivated as soon as Cedric gave the order. The troops let out a chorus of unintelligible roars in their rush to get past him and further into the mine, paying little heed to the sparkling and tempting gem that was in their close area.The troops of the Dark Universe Kingdom rushed inside the mine as soon as they arrived, and they made a beeline for Lucian, who was at the time refining the mine core."Ahhhhhh!" Lucian screamed in agony as he continued to eagerly accept and digest the violent energy that the mine core was pouring towards him in order to blow him up and break him apart. Unknown to the core, despite the fact that the violent energy was injuring him, he was also benefiting from it as his points increased dramatically and he began leveling up on a regular basis.Buzz!When he approached the level 8 capstone, the radiance that was already visible around him grew quickly and dramatically, indica
Gaius, who is regarded as one of Cedric's most trustworthy allies, was unable to destroy one of the intruders who was hurt, and as a result, Cedric no longer underestimates the intruders' capabilities. As a result, Cedric's level of fear over the likelihood of another person discovering the treasure land has increased. "We thoroughly annihilated the competitors in the east!" Cedric then informed his comrades of his discoveries, once he had identified the overall position of the cave."Ahhhhh!" The army let out a loud shout as they resumed their pursuit of Cedric farther and deeper into the ice zone, hoping to find the coveted treasure. They were unaware of a small party of three persons five kilometers behind them, rushing wildly in the same direction as them in an attempt to catch up with them.After returning to the realm of treasures, Lucian and Ledia noticed that they had just emerged from a cold and pitch-black cave. The ice covered the cave's whole floor, ceiling, and walls. Af
Within the forest's boundaries, James yelled just as Catalina finished explaining the notion of cycles to him and James."I can't believe that despite our might, we are still this feeble in comparison to the truly powerful beings on this world," he stated his disbelief."You are correct, even I find it difficult to believe that despite our increased strength, we are still this feeble in comparison to the truly powerful beings that roam this planet," fat James said."Are you unconvinced?" Catalina's question served as an interruption by shifting their focus to something else while they were listening to her make a statement."Yes," Luke and James agreed. Before addressing them, Catalina was overcome with emotion and burst into tears."This is not the time to lose your spirit; there are too many people who rely on us," he said. Instead of complaining, you should work harder to advance your career and become someone influential in the future so that you can help protect the human race an
Catalina did not wait for the man to exhale his final breath before sprinting away in the already set path. As a result, Luke and James looked at her in astonishment as she performed the move.They were both contemplating the origin of the elderly woman sudden surge of strength as they locked their gaze on her with rapt concentration. However, they were unaware of what was going on until her voice reached their mind. As soon as they were made aware of this information, the two of them wasted no time and dashed in the direction of the elderly woman."What are you waiting for?" Catalina shouted in front of them. "Get your feet moving and start running! You continue to occupy this site despite the fact that it is no longer secure, it will soon be overtaken by hostile forces."Catalina, Luke, and the fatty could be heard whispering to one another in the pitch-black atmosphere a few seconds later. The location provided some seclusion while remaining within acceptable driving distance of t
The soldier wasn't going to let Luke get any closer because he was also in the tenth tier, and he was well aware that if he faced off against two other persons on the same level as him at the same time, he would lose. A cool snowfall is falling from the Thornes, and it is stunning. "As the two persons got closer, the soldier yelled and summoned a large number of ice thorns in the sky, which began to descend on them like rain as they got closer. Luke quickly paused his stride and lifted his arms above his head in an attempt to protect himself from the falling ice thorns.James manipulated the broken metal pieces with his hands until they formed a shield above his head. Ice thorns were unable to make contact with him due to the shield, which also crushed them into pieces while protecting him."Do you not realize that by committing the horrible act of murdering four blue raven kingdom warriors serving under commander Cedric, you have turned an entire kingdom against you? At the time of
The sensation he vividly remembered from his previous visit to Rhombus carack was the identical sensation he had experiencing right now."Is it even remotely feasible that this is the situation?" At this rate, she'll enter the second cycle; however, if my assumption is correct, she shouldn't be able to ignore all common sense and enter the primary mystic, should she? " Lucian spoke to himself in quiet tones and mumbled to himself when he held a dialogue with himself inside his mind.After a few minutes, the world stone continued to feed environmental energy into Ledia's body without ceasing. As a result, Ledia's advancement came to an abrupt halt after only a few minutes. Lucian, who had been watching her closely, was curious whether she would be able to smoothly transition into the second cycle of the transformation.The world stone extinguished the white light that had been emanating from her body, and she was able to descend to the earth in a methodical manner before the light shot
Lucian looked at him with a stunned expression, unable to comprehend what was happening. He just couldn't get his head around what was going on.Ledia was completely encompassed by the white light that emitted from the world stone as she hung in the air in a horizontal position. The light was constantly permeating her body, causing astronomical changes to occur.Her already sparkling and smooth-sounding queries took on the appearance of a doll, and something changed in her facial characteristics.All of these changes startled Lucian, but one in particular sent chills down his spine: the series of level increases that she made. The purple mist formed by the flower that cleansed poison had already dissolved within her body, rendering the remnants of the vapor null and empty.After every five minutes, Lucian would open his mouth and spout something."She was only recently promoted to Level 5!""Level 6""Level 7"" Level 8""Level 9!""Level 10"As he stated the final level, he noticed t
