' System! Extract all the martial arts from my memory and analyse them to make me a sword art that is best suited to my body. Take the rank 7 sword art as the base '.

I finally ordered the system to create / deduce a new sword art for me.

[ Ding !! Task Established ! Extracting the Data from Host's Memory ]

[ Extracting Data 10%... 59% .... 100%! Extraction Completed ! ] 

[ Starting Deduction ! Estimated time 71 hours ]

[ Do you wish to start the the Deduction for a new swords art ? Y/ N ]

' Yes ' i said in my mind.

[ Deduction started ! Remaining time 70:59:59 ]

One by one the system continuously promoted new notifications in front of my eyes.

The estimated time is 71 hours and if I include a few more days for training to get up to atleast a rank 1 swordsman then it will take about a week in total.

" Just enough time for the event "

The first event was coming soon and it was a big event that I had to participate in at all cost.

One of the strongest swords the world would ever see is there.

[ Dainsleif ]

The legendary sword of King Högni, one of Norse's great heroes. The name means 'Dain's legacy' in Old Norse and was crafted by the renowned dwarf Dain. Dain ingrained magic into Dáinsleif, so when it is drawn it can not be sheathed again until it has killed someone, not something you would idly want to show off at feasts.

The magic also means that you don't have to be a skilled swordsman to wield Dáinsleif, as it is impossible for the sword to not hit its intended target.

Once it does strike, even the smallest cut will prove fatal, inflicting wounds that will never heal. Basically, it's best to never go up against the swordsman while he has Dáinsleif by his side.

The swords and Artifacts are divided into 9 ranks according to the level of power they hold.

The 9 ranks were 

Common -> Uncommon -> Rare - > Unique -> Epic -> Mythical -> Legendary -> Demi God -> God.

There wasn't any Demi - god and God level weapons and Artifacts discovered yet.

Those rankings were only assumed for the weapons used by Gods in different Mythologies. Like In Norse mythology, Gungnir is the spear of the god Odin, but they never found its whereabouts.

Although such weapons are still yet to be discovered but they are assumed to be of God level ones.

The top 10 most powerful weapons and Artifacts in the world are all legendary grade items.

The sword [ Dáinsleif ] that I wanted was a sword of higher than legendary grade but still lower than Demi- God in terms of ranking.

It was hidden in a special place, and the entrance to that place was sealed since ancient times, but the seal will finally be broken 8 days later when a monster tide would attack the boundary of a certain city. 

The sword itself would only be found out a few years later by a group of Slayers, but the exact location and the process those Slayers went through to obtain that sword was made public by them, so the Regressor also had them in his memories.

 It was a place where I will also finally get my first and one of the most important chess piece.

" Sylvia Oxford " 

A future SS rank 9 star Archmage, but she was still just an 18 year old girl at this moment who might have just got awakened a few days ago and who would have her slayer ID made only on the day before the Academy's entrance exam.

She was a pure hearted and maybe the most kindest person in this Dog-eat-dog world, but the harsh times and cruel reality even made her a cold and ruthless Archmage. 

I could still go to her and make her my slave forcefully,  but getting her through that way, I would never ever be able to make her loyal to me.

She was one of the people who were very close to the real me in the regressors' memories, she and I were best friends and she was also the only one who searched for my whereabouts everywhere for years after I went missing.

As far as I understood her character from the future memories of the Regressor, Sylvia was someone who knows how to pay back her grudges and debts. 

Although Sylvia would definitely become my slave if I forcefully tried to do it, but she will also become a hidden danger who will not hesitate to bring me down with her in future.

Even if she knew that opposing my orders as a slave would instantly kill her but she would still risk it all, she would become a venomous snake besides me who would keep watching me, looking for the opportunity to bite, and when she will finally get it, she would not hesitate to bring me down with her.

A good plan and acting was necessary to get her. I had to make it seem like I was making a sacrifice for her and make her indebted to me, make a situation so that she would come to me on her own accord and submit herself to me by her own will, only then I would be able to open up a path where I could truly conquer her in future.

And I already had a plan for it.

The only reason for which, an innocent girl like her walked on the thorn filled path of a Slayer, her mother.

I myself had a mother and really didn't want to use her mother in any of my plans but knowing about the future I know that I cannot become soft.

I had to be ruthless or I will never survive in this cruel world and its not like I was going to kill her mother.

 NO, it was complete opposite, I will actually save her mother, but I have to make her condition as worse as possible before that.

If I do not intervene in the incident and help her, then her mother is supposed to die 4 months later. 

The grief stricken girl who became a slayer and entered the Academy just so she could heal her mother, would be devastated because of her death and would later stand back up on her feet with a goal to become the best Wizard in the world and help everyone in need.

Only to realize that the reality was not as black and white as she imagined it to be and the world was a much crueler place. The people she thought would help her will become the one to drag her down because of jealousy and their selfish desires.

She will come to realize that Monsters were not only outside the borders in the wilderness but were also inside it in the cities, the humans who were more of a monsters than the real monsters outside were much more dangerous.

That would be the beginning of her path as the ruthless Archmage she was later known for.

But all this was unnecessary, She was still a potential SS rank and I know where she would get her 9 star magic arts from. 

I also know about the weapons she used, and where to get them. 

So, there was no need for her to suffer to become strong, and I would very much prefer the innocenct girl rather than a ruthless Archmage, though I would still show her the true face of the society but I will not allow that to affect her negatively.

An Evil Mastermind needs someone pure and kind hearted by his side as the world is maintained by a balance, and harmony is required in everything, or everything would crumble down eventually.

The event was going to be a very dangerous situation for any slayer that is E rank or lower and even I would have trouble there.

A monster tide wasn't something to be taken lightly and I had to also go to that place where the sword was hidden. So I had to be 100% sure of success before going, 

I had to be atleast a 1star Rank D- swordsman to gaurantee success in my endeavour. 

1 star professionals are all same but a 1 star who learns from a 3  or 4 star arts will be completely obliterated by a person by the same 1 star professional who practices from a 8 or 9 star art in a 1 v 1 match.

The same was actually applicable to every rank but the difference between same ranks becomes less and less as we move up in ranks.

.

Three days went by in a poof !  and finally my new sword art was about to get completed.

" System show me the remaining time left for the sword art " 

[ Ding! Time Remaining  00 : 00 : 42 ]

Only 42 seconds were left and I was itching to get my hands on my new sword art. 

I picked up a common grade sword that I usually use for practice and went straight towards the training ground that was built inside the house.

" The Regressor was really rich "

 I smiled, and as soon as I reached the training ground the system prompted in my mind.

[ Ding! Task Completed  ]

[  Would you like to see the New sword art ? Y/ N ]

' Yes '

|--------------------------|

[ Unknown sword art ] 

Rank - 8 stars 

Description - 

A sword art exclusively made for the host. A sword art that focuses on Speed and adaptability. The user of this art can amplify his speed and can manoeuvre his way through any situation.

A sword art that allows the user to move at lightning fast pace that blinds the opponent through sheer speed.

The sword art contains stances and moves dervived from countless arts, Making the user more adaptive to different scenarios and be able to better see through the opponents tricks.

No matter how high the speed and power behind a swing is, the blade will move like a snake that would be able to change its path to any direction the user wants. ] 

|--------------------------|

[ Would you like to transfer the Sword art directly to your brain ? Y/N ] 

" Yes, do it " I said in an excited tone as the sword art came out even better than I expected.

I immediately said in an impatient manner: "System, transfer the sword art to my brain and name it as  [ Formless lightning style ] "

The System duly carried out my orders and brought large amounts of images depicting the sword art back to my mind.

After a few minutes of transfer, I gently rubbed my head.

 "I feel a little giddy, but this is a normal occurrence!"

Right now my brain was filled with large amounts of memories about the sword art and the many matching sequences of practised experience.

 Compared to an average person I did not have to go through the process of learning it through a book, although the higher rank arts are only passed down through the word of mouth or through medium that becomes useless after a one time information transfer.

This was another reason that there were so few high ranking arts because they were not present in a hard copy and were too hard to steal.

    Ranking up as a professional was similar to ranking up in your body talent level because the closer one gets to their limit, the slower their training becomes. As a result, the higher your potential, the faster you trained, and the same is true for the arts a person practises.The closer a person gets to the pinnacle of their craft, the slower their training becomes.Someone like me, who has no limit to his body's talent level, had no concerns about my training speed, but I was comparable to others when it came to ranking up as a professional.Having a sword art that is unique to you, something that is designed to complement you, was a huge advantage that I only discovered after training in it.Not only was it an 8 star sword art, but it was so compatible with me that whenever I swung my sword and used my art, the amount of synchronisation I got was surreal. Although this didn't make my training as fast as my Body talent level, but when combined with the experience I gained from the

    Evening had arrived, but the sun was still a good distance away from the horizon, where it would set.The sun's bright light, mixed with a little orange-red hue, fell upon the green trees of the wilderness and cast a long black shadow of those trees on the ground.Noah sat on a branch of one of these trees, dressed in cameo military pants and a black T-shirt, waiting for Lora.After getting the confirmation from Rudger that Lora agreed to meet him here, he quickly got ready, left the dormitory, and secretly waited for Lora outside the academy's gates. When he saw Laura taking a taxi alone, he also left in another taxi that he had already booked on the way there.And the reason he came here in the wilderness earlier than her was because he tipped the driver to follow Lora's car, and only when they both were some distance away from the east boundary gate did he order the driver to drive at full speed, overtaking Lora's car and reaching here ahead of her.This was all done by him to conf

    The plans about everyone

    Noah couldn't help but let out a curse, though in a lower voice this time so as not to wake up Sylvia.He was rendered speechless by the mere thought of this bloody plot, and for a split second he once again felt as if someone was deliberately plotting against him; this feeling has only grown stronger since gaining Regressor's memory.Noah knew he was being paranoid, but the feeling of being plotted lingered in the back of his mind, even after denying it many times.However, he knew for a fact that the plotting wasn't harmful but was actually in his favour, which made Noah all the more suspicious about the cause and effect of these things.Being the type of person Noah is, once something gets in his mind, it's difficult for him to let it out.So, with the thought of someone plotting against him in his mind, he started thinking deeply about these things.* * * * * * * * * * * * *Noah POV: For example, if my assumptions were right, then it all started when I got regressor's everything

    The bloody plot

    As soon as the light particles hit Noah, his eyes rolled backward for a split second, followed by the system's resistance to the light particles, but because it was just an automatic defence mechanism with only a few seconds to deal with the situation and the system itself was not powerful enough, its interference had no effect on the particles, which were absorbed into Noah's soul without wasting any seconds.The sudden situation startled Noah, who had no time to react and could only passively accept what was coming towards him.Even though Noah was shocked by the sudden influx of light particles, he could not do anything to resist their power, and he simply allowed himself to be overcome.[Warning!]Since the system couldn't do anything else, it kept showing red warning messages even though it couldn't do anything else.which, in addition to the splitting headache brought on by the light particles, almost made Noah unconscious due to pain.Despite all the warnings and pain, Noah was

    Sitting in despair all alone on her chair, Lora felt the pain of losing her beloved again, which at this time was hundreds of times more sharp and painful than what she felt from the experience of her future self. She thought of the happy times spent with her loved one, now a distant memory."Why! Why is this happening to me again? Why did he have to die?"She roared alone, her painful cry echoing throughout the soundproof room.With tears streaming down her face, she could not understand why life was so cruel.Lora felt that there was nothing more left for her to do in this world."Where are you, Alvin? Where are you? Are you really dead? I don't believe it! I don't believe that guy. Please let me know where you are!

    Lora's POV

    In a well furnished modern room with minimalistic decoration and furniture, a girl was sitting on a chair, blankly staring out of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts, perhaps pondering some deep issue that had been troubling her.No one knows what was going on inside her head.But this sadness inside her consciousness was drowning her whole body, making her suffocate every second. She was trying to be calm and peaceful, but deep down inside her there was an abyss of despair, loneliness, and emptiness that had been gnawing away at her.Her heart was heavy and her soul was hurting, and there was nothing that could be done to help her.You guessed it right.She was Lora, who came back to her dorm a few minutes later after Noah left.Lying on the chair as if there was no strength left in her body, she didn't know how much she had cursed this fate, and no matter how much she tried to stop her tears, they just wouldn't stop.In this moment of immense

    'I told you about his death and other things, and you only cried and went mad, but as soon as I told you the location of his death, you coughed up blood and fell unconscious?'What kind of bloody play was this? Noah had no idea. Lora's strange response baffled Noah, who was unable to make sense of it.And for the time being, it wasn't the right time to think deeply about it, because no matter what grudges Noah had with Lora, at the end of the day, she was sitting with him here in the cafe, and as a good student, it was his responsibility to help her.That's why, as soon as Lora's body felt unconscious, Noah rushed up to her and helped her sit on the chair as he splashed some water from the water jug on another table.When the waitress saw that Lora was in trouble, she also ran over to help them."What happened here?"Lora slowly opened her eyes as the waitress asked, and Noah described the situation to the waitress, who finally felt relieved and then advised Lora to go to the hospital

Nevertheless, the truth remained the same. Her heart sank as she realized that what he said was true, and she felt the full weight of it all."It's what you heard; he's dead; otherwise, why do you think I'll be looking after his mother?"Noah's words were like a bolt of thunder that fell on Lora's head, shaking her whole world. She felt a wave of sadness wash over her as the reality of the situation sunk in.Her legs got tired, and she slumped down on her seat in grief and disbelief."No, no, it can't be; it can't be; it's impossible!
