The battle for the selection had begun, and the arena was alive with the sounds of combat. Fifty contenders for the Knight School stood ready, while only ten Silver Knights were there to face them. The odds were steep, but the contenders fought bravely. As the battle raged on, half of the contenders had already been defeated. Fortunately, no one had died yet. The only casualty so far was Phil, who had been severely injured, with a heavily damaged leg and upper arm. Despite his injuries, Phil was one of the few who had passed the battle, a testament to his strength and determination.

However, the battle had taken a darker turn. George, one of the Ruby Knights, had arranged for a Golden Knight to disguise himself as a Silver Knight. His purpose was clear: he wanted to take Faul down. George had been seething with anger ever since the loss of his son, and he was determined to rid himself of the young warrior who had caused him such frustration. Faul, however, remained unaware of the sche

    The commotion caused by Faul’s little encounter with the mage had finally died down, and the arena was once again lively, as if nothing had happened. The crowd’s excitement had settled, and the air seemed charged with anticipation for the next battles. "Let us continue with the rest of the knight candidates," Sir Donald said, his voice carrying over the crowd. He sat back down on his chair and gestured for the match to begin. It was now Harry's turn to climb the stage and battle for his chance to enter the prestigious Kaar Knight School. Harry strode onto the stage with a sense of confidence, his every step exuding the air of a seasoned warrior. Known as one of the finest swordsmen at the camp before Faul’s arrival, Harry had held on to the belief that no one could best him—except Faul. Since the day he was defeated by the young warrior, Harry had been training relentlessly, driven by the desire to get stronger and avenge his loss. As Harry climbed the stage, he stood side by side w

    Faul and the knight stood opposite each other, the tension in the air thick enough to be cut with a blade. The Golden Knight, his armor gleaming under the sun, exchanged a brief glance with George, who sat at the selector’s table. With a silent nod from George, the Golden Knight understood his instructions: use any means necessary to rid himself of Faul. His mission was clear. “Accidents can lead to death, but do not intentionally kill your opponent,” Sir Donald’s voice rang out across the arena, drawing the attention of everyone present. “Beat down the knight to win, or hold out until the time runs out. Let the fight begin!” At the signal, the fight was on. Faul stood still, his posture as calm as ever, exuding an aura of tranquility that seemed almost unnatural. He was in no hurry, his blood flowing with grace, every muscle relaxed yet ready. His eyes were shut tight, his focus so intense that he could feel every vibration in the arena—the shifting of feet, the tension in the air,

  • Faul: The Reincarnation   Chapter 26: Fierce Heart

    The arena was as quiet as a graveyard after the events that had unfolded on the stage just moments before. The tension in the air was thick, and the stillness was almost oppressive. The crowd, once filled with cheers and excited murmurs, had been reduced to a stunned silence. They couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. George, however, was the most shocked of all. His carefully laid plan to rid himself of Faul’s presence had been shattered in an instant, and now he was left to deal with the consequences of his failure. His plot had been foiled with such swiftness that he couldn’t help but feel the sting of humiliation. "Why is he always getting farther ahead of me?" Harry thought, his gaze fixed on Faul, who stood motionless in the center of the stage, his expression unreadable. "I have trained hard, but I’m still nowhere near him." Harry’s thoughts were filled with a mixture of admiration and frustration. Despite all of his own hard work, Faul seemed to be on an entirely differ

  • Faul: The Reincarnation   Chapter 27: Going Separate Ways

    The events at the arena had become the talk of nearly everyone—both inside the camp and beyond. Whispers spread like wildfire as people discussed Faul’s display of strength, his deadly encounter with the silver knight, and the mysterious way in which he had defeated his opponent. It wasn’t just the candidates who were talking; even those outside the camp had caught wind of what had happened. As the days passed, Faul’s reputation grew, but not necessarily in the way he might have hoped. Other candidates, once proud and confident in their abilities, now regarded him with a mix of awe and fear. They spoke in hushed tones, questioning the nature of the being who had so easily dispatched an opponent with a single strike. It was clear that Faul was no longer seen as just another contender; to many, he was something far more dangerous. While the candidates gathered to discuss their performances, their strategies, and how they felt they had fared, one individual stood apart from the group,

    The next few days were largely uneventful. Everyone was occupied with preparations for the long journey to the Kaar Knight School, located near the western border of the Red Death territory. The school, known for training elite warriors, stood proudly at the center of Alora—a bustling city as large and prominent as the capital city of Kaar. Sir Donald stood before the seven teenage boys who had successfully passed the trial, his expression stern beneath the light of the setting sun. “Listen up, everyone,” he began, his voice commanding their attention. “The road ahead is dangerous. Infected attacks are frequent when traveling between cities, especially toward Alora. So, brace yourselves and be ready to fight. A confrontation can happen at any moment. The journey will take us seven days, and each of those days will test your strength and resolve.” The group fell silent. Only seven teenagers had made it through the rigorous trial, and now they were on the brink of their most dangerous

  • Faul: The Reincarnation   Chapter 29: Left Behind

    The next morning, the entire camp was awakened by the sharp, echoing clang of metal ringing through the cold dawn air. It startled most of the teenage boys from their slumber, jarring them into full alertness. “Gather the tents and your weapons! Prepare to move out,” Sir Wilfred commanded with authority in his voice. Everyone quickly packed their belongings and loaded back into the large wooden carriages that had brought them this far. The group was ready to begin the journey back to Alora. As the wheels rolled along the path, the boys began to chant in unison, their voices filled with youthful energy and pride: **“We are the warriors of the great kingdom. We fight in the Frontline. We fear no demon. We fear no man. We conquer every war!”** The rhythmic chant echoed across the land as they enjoyed the thrill of their return journey. The sun was high, the skies clear, and the path ahead seemed smooth—until an abrupt halt disrupted the moment. **Neigh...** The horses reare

  • Faul: The Reincarnation   Chapter 30: My Brother's Weapon

    The seven wolves encircled Faul, their bloodthirsty eyes fixed on him, their fangs bared as they prepared to pounce. Faul stood calmly in the center of the circle, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. But instead of drawing it, he sheathed the blade. He had never been particularly skilled with swords. His real strength lay elsewhere. As the wolves closed in, something within him began to stir. His body started to change. His fingernails elongated into curved, deadly claws. The small patch of scales on his back began to spread rapidly, covering his shoulders, arms, chest, and legs. His skin shimmered faintly, as though glowing from within. Two long, crystal-like fangs pushed past his lips. Then he felt something shift in his lower back—something stretching, tearing through the fabric of his pants. “Oh… don’t tell me I have a tail now,” Faul thought, his eyes widening in disbelief. He dropped onto all fours instinctively, his transformed body adapting to the new shape. **ROAAAA

  • Faul: The Reincarnation   Chapter 31: Dream

    Faul’s unconscious body was gently lifted by Sir Wilfred as the knights began making their way back to the carriage. The thick fog had cleared, but the tension still lingered in the air. George kept his eyes locked on Faul’s frail, collapsed form. A cold chill ran down his spine—not out of pity, but fear. If this boy could survive what he just did, what might he become in the future? "If I don’t find a way to deal with him now… he might be impossible to stop later," George thought, tightening his grip on the reins of his horse. Each of the four knights had thoughts swirling in their minds, questions they couldn’t yet answer—especially about Faul. Donald couldn’t stop staring at the boy’s pale, unconscious face, his chest rising and falling slowly. "The prophecy spoke of a boy from Karaza who would one day defeat the Red Death… Could this boy be the one? Is he from Karaza? I need to find out when he wakes," Donald thought deeply, furrowing his brows. When they reached the carria

  • Billie's Adventure

    The Red Dragon Escort Cavalry has been a name feared by bandits in and out of many Kaar cities. Just the mere mention of the name Red Dragon Escort Cavalry, foes, and even other escort cavalries would tremble to the extent that each task they showed interest in was left alone by all other escort cavalries. But despite all the fame and glory, even a mighty cavalry like the Red Dragon Escort Cavalry has its problems but it is something that Billie can handle. Controlling five magic powers and controlling them with perfection is a thing many are envious of, but no one has the guts to let Billie know that. Billie is someone who is kind but does not tolerate any nonsense. At his age, he is the leader of a mighty escort cavalry that puts any bandit group to the ground. The name, Red Dragon Escort Cavalry, is a warrior on its own, and when the members of the escorting cavalry show up, any bandit will be annihilated. After Faul in the hands of Alfred, he embarked on his own journey to find

  • You are my master?

    Faul was utterly surprised by what Yin and Yang said, but he just couldn't believe it. "What did you say?" Faul tightened his grip around Yin and Yang's neck. "I... said... my... master... is... the greatest dragon that ever lived, Braf," Yin and Yang forced himself to say while being choked. Faul dropped him to the ground, standing still for a few minutes before he opened his hands towards the thick smoke, and it spread far and wide, growing even thicker. "Why is he acting like this? No one should know my master around here, right?" Yin and Yang thought before he found himself being lifted off the ground. "You are coming with me." Faul didn't give Yin and Yang any choice and lifted him off the ground before taking flight from the area, heading deep into the mountains. Others didn't know what was going on between the two who were fighting earlier, as they no longer heard any fighting going on between them. Phil knew that Faul had left with Yin and Yang because he could no longer

  • Yin And Yang

    Faul carried Phil back to the camp at a fast pace, with the other two tagging along behind him. The journey was a quiet one. Faul felt depressed—if he had arrived any later, his friends might have been dead. Meanwhile, the others worried that maybe Faul was angry with them for being too weak. He had simply picked up Phil and left without saying a word. Faul was never someone who knew how to express himself—except with his sword when he was pissed off. They snuck into the camp through the back and found that everyone was fast asleep. Faul laid Phil down in his corner and then went to his own spot without saying anything to the others. They were all worried—wondering if their long-standing friendship might break apart in a single night. “What were they even doing in the woods at that time?” “Were they following me?” Faul had a lot on his mind and couldn’t sleep all night. The following morning, they were awakened by the clang of a metal pot. Faul noticed the two had bags under thei

  • Instant Kill

    Faul sneaked out of the camp through the back of the tent and went into the woods to hunt for food, as recently, eating normal human food no longer quenched his hunger. Unbeknownst to him, Phil opened his eyes and followed closely behind. He was quietly tailing Faul, not caring if anyone saw him leaving the camp. Of course, he was seen by both Ralph and Harry, who also sneaked out of the camp, following the two into the woods. "What do you think these two are going into the woods to do at this time of night?" Ralph couldn’t help but wonder as they continued to follow the two. "That, I don’t know. We’ll just keep following them quietly and find out soon enough," Harry replied, walking cautiously as they trailed behind Phil, who strolled leisurely through the woods. They still found it hard to believe what Faul had told them earlier about being a reincarnated dragon. Although he had shown them his true form by entering their minds, it all still felt like just a dream. They continued

  • Hunting Game

    Faul went ahead to tell them who he was, and how he was reincarnated into this world. He also explained what Phil had become and what he could be. Then, he told them about his mission and revealed the true culprit behind the Red Death. He finally asked if they would fight alongside him to end it. After spending hours within their minds, the two teenagers couldn't help but pledge allegiance to Faul, vowing to become his blood brothers and fight with him. When they returned from wherever their minds had taken them, they discovered that the hours they spent inside had only been a few minutes in the real world. They were still lying on their beds. They closed their eyes and drifted to sleep, praying for a good start to the next day — the beginning of the hunting game. The entire Silver Knight class at the Alora Knight Academy was preparing for the upcoming hunting game, scheduled to take place in a week. Before the game, the knights had to be assessed in various areas to determine how

  • Demonic Angel

    From day to day, Phil never left Faul’s side, which had already started to bug Faul himself. He didn’t want others to think Phil had lost his mind. Even though Faul didn’t want to believe the stories about a wyvern, he decided to test things out with Phil—to know if it was true and whether Phil had become one. On a fateful day, Faul took Phil into the training quarters to clarify his doubts. “Are we here to train? Because I’d like to test my strength against you,” Phil asked excitedly. “Phil, you will test it out. But right now, I need to clarify something.” Faul sat down cross-legged, looking directly at Phil, who stood there cluelessly. “Can you fight for me, Phil? How much will you risk to protect me?” That question triggered something in Phil, and he knelt on one knee. “Yes! I can fight for you, whenever and wherever. I will risk my life and everything I have to protect you, master!” Phil bowed before Faul, showing his allegiance. The answer wasn’t much of a surprise to Fau

  • Phil's New Strength

    Some die-hard fans of the fight knew almost every contestant far beyond the arena, as they kept a close tab on people who might one day join. But no one knew who the new contestant was. His name was simply unknown. Even Faul and the other two wondered why Phil chose such a name. "The Battalion Demolisher? That name is too powerful for someone like Phil. Just the name alone will only get him into more trouble," Harry said, unable to help the pity he felt for his dear friend who seemed ready to lose his life trying to prove nothing. Every day, the arena hosted a maximum of three fights to entertain the people—and to make lots of money, as many would bet on who would win or lose. Today, many had placed their bets based on the odds and the strength of the fighters. Phil's odds were the highest anyone had ever seen since the arena’s inception. Phil had ten-to-two odds of winning. This made many people laugh at the new “Battalion Demolisher,” and no one placed a single bet on him.

  • New Contestant

    A few weeks after the incident with the four friends, things finally returned to normal. During those past weeks, they had been on a silent break, with Phil being the only mediator since he had no issue with anyone. However, Harry and Ralph no longer talked to Faul. They knew he was hiding something and had expected him to open up, but he never did. Eventually, they decided to let it go. They concluded that they would give Faul space and just hoped he would tell them everything when the time was right. But over the past few weeks, Harry and Ralph noticed some changes in Phil. His slight change in appearance, his sudden confidence—it made them worry. They feared he might have been infected during the attack in the woods. Faul, however, knew exactly what was happening. Saving Phil’s life had changed him. He realized it the moment Phil woke up. The magic Faul had used on him had tampered with his being, and if care wasn’t taken, Phil might no longer remain human. Faul knew something l
