"Julie Von Aldeline"" Present"I heard Julie respond to the last attendance call made to her name, and as I had expected, only 89 people's names were called out today."System, compare today's attendance to yesterday's and see whose names was not called out"[ Rihanna Flores, Rank 32 ]'Ah, so its Rihanna, Julie's best friend. That makes much more sense.'Knowing about Rihanna's nature, I could say for sure that she was a genuine supporter of Julie, and if she was aware of my rank, then she must have directly informed Julie about it.' *phew*...Atleast that's a relief'I relaxed and exhaled a deep breath, after which I focused on Selina who was about to start the lecture."Okay, everyone, get your books out. Today I'm going to teach you about different monsters, how to handle them, and what their weaknesses are. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, but please wait until I have completed introducing the topic before doing so to avoid disrupting the entire class."As soo
Late night, Tuesday."hmm…I never would've thought of finding myself in this place on just the second day of the Academy."The black market.The market of the underworld that was like a twilight zone where good and evil met each other without interfering in each other's work, it was like a separate world where laws & morals, and criminals & slayers could co-exist.That was my current location.**********Reaching the dorms, I hurriedly left for the Black market after telling Sylvia that I would only be returning late at night.When Sylvia questioned whether I was going somewhere dangerous, I simply told her the truth that I was going to a black market to buy some essential items which I would show her later. She agreed and didn't press the matter further; instead, she told me to look after myself and eat dinner on time. It was quite heart warming to hear her.I then rode in a private cab all the way to the outskirts of the capital city, where I promptly got off in the Eastern slum di
It was a simple room with plain white walls, a brown wooden ceiling with LED lights, with only two sofas facing each other, and a table in the middle of them having some snacks on top of it.~Crunch!I took a chocolate ball out of the wrapper and put one in my mouth as I waited and recalled the future of the man Roflan from my memories and how it affected humanity.But before recalling the future about Roflan, the imminent danger upon the humanity came into my mind so I thought of recalling everything from the beginning.*************The reason why, despite losing so much due to the unexpected apocalypse, mankind was able to defend themselves against the monsters and why they were able to acquire five continents.It was because, monsters were simply "monsters", without the same level of intelligence as humans, they were just the dumb beings that solely listened to their instincts.However, they had their own advantages, like their larger population and higher birth rate than human, a
"Yes, Mr. Roflan, it is exactly what you heard. I want to purchase you."Even Roflan, who had dealt with a wide variety of situations in his life, was taken aback by the man sitting in front of him. He couldn't help but doubt his ears."I'm sorry, Mr....""Noah Blackstorm"Once more, Roflan's eyes widened in shock, which couldn't escape from Noah's notice, as he grinned behind his white mask because his goals had been achieved when Roflan realised that he was actually using his true name.Roflan recognised that the name given by the person in front of him was his actual name, and not a pseudonym used to conceal his identity.'Is he acting so careless on purpose? or did he not care whether or not others knew who he was?'Roflan was baffled by what the person in front of him was thinking, but he wasn't the kind of man to be persuaded only by a person's name, so he swiftly pushed the further ideas out of his head for the time being."Yes, Mr. Noah... I'm married, I only like women, and I'
"Have you finished everything without any problems?"I inquired of Roflan, who had just arrived beneath the flyover connecting Highway -23 to the Slums."They wouldn't doubt me for the time being because I sometimes had to depart immediately after receiving an order.""Did they question the order?""They did, but I said you wanted some girls' information and some special drugs immediately, which is a typical request I receive a lot, so it went very smoothly."Hearing his words I nodded my head in understanding, but commanded the System in my head.'System, scan the area for any people hiding in our vicinity.'It was never a bad thing to double check.[ No followers detected ]I removed my mask after confirming that there were no bugs in the shadows on our tail, and Roflan was taken aback by my sudden action."There's no need to hide your face when we're going to work together." I assured him in a nonchalant tone, because maintaining a certain level of trust was necessary between us.R
I carefully began removing her clothes after patting her head and letting her body relax."Please bear with me, alright."It was a necessary procedure for the treatment as the supply of mana cannot be misaligned or deviate even slightly from the said amount. A few seconds later, she was completely naked in front of me.She had a gorgeous body that evokes not only lust but also feelings of love and a desire to protect this fragile body.But I didn't think something like this about her. Yes, she was beautiful, but to me she was just a patient who needed to be healed at all costs. Despite the beauty of her body, due to weakness even her bones could be traced through the skin.When I took off her clothes and my hands touched her skin, I could feel her body trembled a bit.But I didn't point it our nor show it on my face.Getting naked in front of a boy who was about her age may have been awkward for her, as up until this point, even all of her doctors had been only women.I also didn't
A day.How much can happen in a single day? Or even a half-day, what can it change?The answer was 'anything'One's life can be turned completely around and from, I want to die, to, I want to live. Anything can happen.The life when there was no hope and you could sense your death approaching with each passing day.It was the life of Amanda Wilford, A life of misery.Everything changed in the span of a single day.No,It wasn't even a day; those were only hours, hours that amounted to maybe a quarter of a day at most.****************It was the same usual day and the same usual people, when Rudger, her father came into her hospital room.She was glad to see him again because he was the only person in this filthy world who truly cared for her. However, this time something was off; his aura didn't seem as gloomy, worn out, helpless, or stressed as usual.This time, his mana had a glimmer of hope, albeit a small one.Nobody was aware of it, but the illness [Manadime] not only gave Aman
It ached to move the body, but that wasn't the issue to her; what mattered was that she could now finally move her body.She could move it if she chose to as the long-lost sensation and control over her body had returned. It simply needs some time to recuperate and heal to properly control.She did, however still gently and strugglingly turn her head to gaze at the man peacefully sleeping next to her.The innocent expression he maintained on his face was the same when he was comforting her during the treatment. And although it was still a little too much for her to move around with this body that hadn't fully recovered, she wanted to touch and caress his face like he did to her.Amanda didn't let this stop her, though, as she made a small movement with her hand and eventually managed to contact him after some difficulty.Now that her hands were on top of his, Amanda delicately savoured the sensation of his rough yet smooth palms entwining with her own.Her heart and body, which had ne
"Why did you do it?"A question like a slap on the face, making her beware of the reality and the consequences of things she did in the future.Lora understood what Noah was implying here and what he wanted to ask her.However, looking at his indifferent gaze that was ready to rip her apart, and that wild, uncontrollable anger in his voice, hidden behind his calm face, she felt her heart beating loudly with fear.Her heart was beating so loudly that she could hear it beating outside her body.Still, she wasn't sure who Noah was, and she wasn't going to be sure until she got a good explanation, so she gritted her teeth and pretended not to know."What? I don't understand what you're talking about.""Why did you do it? Why did you betray me?"However, what she got in return was the same answer, this time much clearer in context, but in a more chilling voice, giving her palpitations all of a sudden.She understood after hearing those sharp, sword-like words piercing her heart and questio
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
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
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! Please come back to me."Like a madwoman, she cried her heart out, denying that her lover was dead and denying what Noah told her. Desperate and heartbroken, she kept calling out to him, pleading with him to come back to her.Sadly, the reality was in front of her, and n
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
This time she couldn't hold on anymore, and without a care about face, she suddenly lashed out at him."Don't you dare lie to me, Noah Blackstorm, I will fight you to death here."Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, her voice shakingHer eyes got blooshot as she threatened him, but her heart was pounding rapidly because of the sudden shocking news.However, she couldn't believe it, and she doesn't want to believe it. 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! How can he die? It's impossib

He couldn't believe his eyes"How?"He couldn't help but ask himself over and over, but no matter how hard he tried to think, he wasn't able to find an appropriate answer for the information that was in front of him.However, unaware of Noah's inner turmoil, Lora was startled by his sudden aggressive behaviour, as she thought that he was really mad at her for telling lies, and she involuntarily shrieked back in fear from his suffocating aura that was directed towards her, ready to rip her apart on a moment's notice.Then, as if remembering something,
