Back in the day I used to be a troublemaker. I would always get into fights and cause all sorts of problems to everyone, but everyone just dismissed it as me being an energetic kid.

I was a stark contrast with my older brother. Peter was the quiet and well behaved child. He was good at his studies and had a bright future ahead of him. I always admired Peter, I wanted to be just like him. However I doubted it will ever happen as our personalities were just too different.

Peter was four years older than me. That meant we never went to school together. Once he got to high school he started going less often and at some point he stopped going at all.

I knew he had some problems but at the time I was just a kid. I didn't know how to approach the subject nor did I know how to pick up on other people's emotions so I just let it be.

One day while I was at school a number of older kids approached me. They were asking were my brother was and why he didn't come to school. I so stupidly told the

    "What's going on here…?" Roland wondered aloud as he watched from afar. During the ensuing chaos Charon had found an opening to slip away. Seeing the beast in the sky spewing pure white flames the tall guy realized that a disaster had befallen that place. He went to look for Drake thinking they needed to get out of there and fast, but when he followed the boy's scent and arrived at the place he was at last he felt the blood drain from his face as he understood what was going on.There on the ground was the cold corpse of the Beastkin child, slowly disintegrating into small particles of light indicating that her Soul has been forcefully ripped out.Beside her were a pair of legs and a crushed skull. A small distance away was Drake's black sword dipped in a large pool of blood. It was a gruesome scene and Roland realized what had happened in that place. He turned in the direction of the commotion, a dome of blinding light enveloped a large area and forced his eyes shut.He had comple

    Having finally ridden himself from Roland, Charon ran around trying to reunite with Kujo. He was doing his best to preserve his skills and magic so even though he should be been able to win that encounter he chose not to and ran away.As he made his way through the back alleys he heard the horrifying roar. He climbed atop one of the buildings to check what it was about and following the series of explosions he noticed Kujo getting overwhelmed by the monster covered in black flames.Charon couldn't believe. Kujo was getting beaten. The Challenger chosen by the church and the one who had already recieved his second high grade Soul, that Kujo, is being pushed back and is unable to do anything against his opponent.Charon felt despair. He kept his distance and watched the fight knowing very well that he couldn't do much. One question in his mind was what was that thing covered in black flames. It was difficult from Kujo's Dark Aura so it couldn't be the same skill. The truth was Charon h

    Higher grade Soul are completely different from normal Boust Souls. Their composition is more complex and they require an incredible amount of Essence to level up and a lot more to evolve. The stat boost they get with each level is incomparable to lower grade Souls and once they're cultivated to a certain level they gain abilities beyond anything usable by humans. Obviously that growth couldn't be achieved by anyone. Even if one has a high grade Soul they'd one day reach a point were they can no longer cultivate it by feeding on lower grade Souls. That meant they'd have to hunt for high tier beasts and instead of assimilating their Souls they would allow them to be absorbed by their own soul.Charon didn't have a System. His Soul once belonged to a beast called the Volcanic Dragon, one of two SSS tier beasts that ruled over the volcanoes on an island called Burnin. The church had sent its army to hunt the dragons in preparation for the upcoming selection. Many had died and only one

    Opening his eyes, Drake was met with the sight of an unfamiliar ceiling. It wasn't that of room built by human hand but rather the rough stone of a naturally formed cave. From how the surface beneath him felt it was clear he wasn't sleeping on a bed. He tried to recall what had led him to that place, that was when he remembered his fight against the shadow armor and what happened right afterward."Lily!"He shot up to his feet the moment the memory came back, however he had no strength in his limbs and end up tumbling to the ground. Struggling to lift himself he felt his tears flowing.He had done it. He had done it again.He tried to help someone, to protect them with his strength. However his efforts were in vein and ended up leading to just more suffering and death.The child was stabbed right in front of him and he couldn't do anything. He then remembered the state he was in and looked at his lower half.He had ran out of skills and was unable to move or evade. The shadow armor a

    "I see you're finally awake." Roland said as he emerged from the dark."Ah…" Drake was unable to speak.He had known Roland was there. He saw the green dot on the map waiting a small distance away. The tall guy was trying to be considerate, leaving Drake to let it all out before coming in.Drake had cried for hours. It was the only thing he could do. His body was too weak to do anything, otherwise he would've gone in another rampage.Once the tears dried out he sat there staring at the bonfire with empty eyes. He was contemplating suicide. He felt there was nothing left for him in this world. Roland sat down beside him. He placed a small pot on the fire, filled with water, dried meat and some vegetables. He added in some herbs as a seasoning then some salt before letting it boil. The two silently stared at the pot for a while. Soon the sound of bubbling stew was heard and the cave they were hiding in was filled with a pleasant scent. "You must be really hungry." Said roland as he f

    It has been eleven days since she had departed for the Nexus. Laura woke up in the inn she had spent the previous night in. It was a place she would usually avoid, however after riding her horse for several days and running out of food she had to stop at a town to resupply. While at it she looked for the best inn she could find. The ones she could find reeked like it was some stable, but that was to be expected since the town was a little isolated and not many travelers passed by it. She had been following the the path going in the direction pointed out by the device she had been given after her duel. The roads were thinning and disappearing at times which made the trip much more difficult. At some point even tbe dirt roads will just disappear and she'd have to take a step in the dark. She didn't if all of this would be doable if one didn't pass the Selection and got their hands on the device.Going downstairs the first one to greet her was the owner of the place. He was a weathere

    "Did you summon me, father?"Rollo walked into his father's office with slumped shoulders and a sulky expression. His clothes were ripped and torn everywhere and his body was full of bruises and cuts. It was clear that he had received quite the beating not long ago and by the look on his face he didn't enjoy it all.It was the result of the intense training he had been forced into as part of his punishment for the mess he made a few months ago. Usually he'd try to be polite and respectful when summoned by his father, however he wasn't really in the mood for that. "Sit." Without looking up, Olaf Dragonspear gave the order in a dry tired voice. Not saying anything Rollo took one of the chairs in front of his father's desk. "Do you know what this is?" Olaf asked, holding up a piece of paper in his right hand.The boy was about to shout how would he know, however he held it in and waited for his old man to continue."It's the latest report from Helga."When he heard that Rollo's mood

    A lot of things happened after the battle against the Dragonspears. When they reunited with the others, Drake learned that Peter had saved Edda and her hound as well. Turns out the two were actually in a secret relationship and she was the one who came up with the whole plan of destroying his contract and escaping. Apparently she was of a rare race of Beastkin that possessed healing abilities. Since her bloodline was too valuable the Dragonspears wanted to make her a part of their family instead of enslaving her then harvesting her Soul. Healers were a rare commodity so even if they're Beastkin they're always treated well. That said, she couldn't get over the fact that she was sold like an object and was looking for the perfect opportunity to betray them. The weirdest part of all was that she had fallen in love with Peter despite him being nothing but a cloud of smoke. Drake was confused about how they planned on making it work, however the girl said that a magic that allows Beastki

    "Why…?" Rollo asked his voice hoarse. He was on the ground, his lower half was lost, both of his arms as well. His wounds were frozen preventing him from regenerating. The frost was spreading killing his cells one by one. "I dont really know what you were expecting." Drake said, scratching the back of his head. He hated Rollo. Killing him was only natural. Still, seeing a kid laying on the ground having suffered such grave injuries Drake almost felt bad for him. Almost. He wasn't about to feel sympathy toward someone who planned to enslave him. "I… thought… we could be… friends…" the boy struggled to speak. His lips had turned blue and the breaths he struggled to release with each word turned into white fog. "I wanted you… by my side… we could've… we could've ruled… the upper realm…" "Friends? That's a really bad joke." Drake snorted, mocking the idea. "I only saw you as the bastard who wants to turn me into a weapon. I guess you have succeeded in that regard. Bet you didn't exp

    Something about Rollo began to change. The aura covering his body began to fluctuate. He dropped his spear and his blue eyes turned bloody red. Drake heightened his guard. He felt that something odd was happening.The red haired boy had used the effects of the redacted title to force his main Soul to evolve. It was a Red Dragon. Though the name was simple, it was the Soul of one of the seven primal beasts that once ruled over the upper realm, the ones that put an end to the first Eternal Night. The final stage of its evolution is the Light Dragon. It was as rare as the Eternal Night, never found in the wild and can only be reached by cultivating the beast Soul with the help of the system. All of the other Souls Rollo had assimilated were consumed to gather enough Essence for the evolution. The forced process did the same to him as it did to Drake and caused him to lose control as he entered the second stage of assimilation.Scales began to grow on his arms and legs. A thick white t

    The moment Drake chose the YES option everything suddenly went black. He couldn't see or feel, it was as if he was pulled out of his body, left as an accumulation of thoughts without a physician form. Time passed. He didn't know how long but at some pont he opened his eyes and looked around him. The black castle was a mess. Corpses everywhere missing most of their remains. Weapons of different types and sizes, broken and destroyed. Armor and shield thrown around bent into unknown shapes. What caught his attention the most were the crystals scattered around and the strange artifacts here and there. They didn't look like anything he recognized. Little did he know what they were magic weapons that had been used on him. The black castle was destroyed. Most of its buildings had crumbled. The walls surrounding it rendered to dust. Upon further inspection Drake noticed white flames here and there eating at anything that had yer to burn. Thay was enough of a clue for him to tell what had

    Drake Went around hunting the apprentices looking for him. He approached them peacefully then took the chance to erase them using his void hand. Sadly it didn't go that well till the end. As he was erasing the forth one the fifth saw it and took off. Drake was unable to catch up with him and he ended up warning the servants who went around warning the other apprentices or guards. It was a shame that he couldn't go about it in a more quiet manner, but nothing could be done about it. Tossing the oil lamp he was carrying, drake coated both of his arms in the black flames. He faced the oncoming enemies and prepared to attack."What are we supposed to do!?" One off the guards asked. "He's an important guest of the lord, right?""They said he had killed some apprentices. Until we do a more thorough investigation we have to restrain him for now!"They didn't have to wait though as they got the proof they needed soon enough. The first guard to approach Drake had half of his body erased. Dra

    Drake gave Layla and Lily a few minutes to have their reunion, however they needed to move quicker so he told them to save it for a later time. They needed to get moving before the main members of the Dragonspear family are informed of his disappearance.

    "Alright." The shadow said. "Everything is in place. Let's get going."Drake took a deep breath then nodded. The time to execute the plan has come and so the two began to move. The shadow enveloped Drake teleporting him to the first location."... Drake?" Layla said, seeing her the boy fall out of the sky.Roland was there as well, taking a fighting stance the moment he saw the strange shadow."We got no time. Come with me." Drake said. Without asking any questions the two came closer and were enveloped by the shadow as well.The next time they opened their eyes they were in an unfamiliar location. Roland was on his knees in no time, struggling to breath. Layla was able to tell they were in the upper realm, and not just anywhere but in a Nexus point where magical Essence was concentrated the most."We are going to revive Lily." Drake said, opening his inventory and taking the little girl's soul. "Wait. What's going on? Isn't this… too sudden?" Layla asked."I'll go keep an eye on th

    "So? How are we going to do this?" Drake asked. "You're asking for my help so you should already know how to remove the curse, right?" "Huh? Do you believe me now?" The shadow spoke, his voice containing a hint of joy."Nope. I didn't even decided whether to help you or not." Drake said, waving a dismissive hand. "First of all, let's hear what you have. I'll decide after I hear your plan."... okay, that work just fine, I guess." The shadow said with a sigh. "When I was still a kid someone sold me to the Dragonspears. The slavery contract is a magical item that binds me to the one who signed on it, the family head.""You arent going to ask me to kill him, right?""Of course not!" The shadow exclaimed. "Well, it is one of the possible solutions, however killing that monster is impossible. Our only choice is to find the contract and destroy it.""So? Why dont you do it already?" Drake asked."Because I can't." The shadow replied. "I can't defy my owner, remember? That means I can't bre

    "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT DRAKE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!" The shadow was really pissed off. He had barely managed to teleport them outside the cave before it collapsed. Now they were in the field with the new Frost King's corpse Rollo had killed a while ago."You could've gotten us both killed!" The shadow went on, berating Drake for his unreasonable actions. Drake didn't give him much thought, gripping his sword and preparing to continue his attacks."What the fuck do you think you're doing!!?""I don't? Killing the bastard who's trying to use my dead brother to make me do something?" Drake said, cauting his blade with the black flames."I am your brother!" The shadow said. "Well, I did die and got reborn so I guess you have a point. But it's really me! You gotta believe me!""Yeah right." Drake went on to attack, swinging his sword again and again. "You're still as crazy as ever." The shadow said, swooshing here and there avoiding the flurry of attacks. "Did you like this world? Vi
