Neo opened his eyes after a while and found himself surrounded by a mist. He stood there in the eerie silence, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that crept up his spine. It was as if the mist itself was alive and watching him, waiting for him to make a move. Neo's heart raced as he tried to make sense of his surroundings and figure out where he was and how he got there.As Neo walked towards the path, with a broken sword in his hand, that had opened up in the mist, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He didn't know where he was, how he got there, and what awaited him at the end of this path. The mist that surrounded him was so thick that he couldn't see beyond a few feet. It was as if he was walking into an endless void, and the only thing guiding him was the path he was treading on.As he walked, he could feel the icy embrace of the mist on his skin. It was a chilling sensation that sent shivers down his spine. He was completely alone, and the silence was
Neo looked at the figure, stunned, not knowing what happened. He chose [Order], but somehow he also chose [Chaos]. He looked at the figure for an answer, who let out a chuckle and said, "Don't worry, the other voice was also you as well. Your soul is a little special and the one who spoke just now was your soul part who woke up during your adventure in the dungeon, I had to drag you in this dungeon to wake it up." Neo nodded in a daze, as he didn't get one word of the figure. His soul was special it was a part of him? Why didn't he know that? Just what the hell was going on? Neo felt his head hurting after hearing all of this. "Don't think too much, or you might have a mental breakdown. Time to meet your other half." The figure snapped its finger and Neo saw a new skill appearing before him. [Name: Soul Tandem Description: The user of this skill can connect their two souls within a single body, allowing them to communicate with each other and work in tandem. When activated, the
"Damn it, at least warn before you send someone out." Blaze raged as he kicked the goblin King's corpse. "Wasn't this bastard laughing too much? Tell him to do that now." "So it was you who affected me?" Neo asked as he remembered his rage and recklessness. "Bingo genius. My pleasure." "It was reckless." {Ask that corpse If I was.} Neo stopped conversing with Blaze, who was now communicating with him telepathically. {And don't move the lips, people will think that I'm mental.} Blaze said. Neo sat down, as he was still waiting for the system to give him his reward. While waiting for that, he opened his status panel to see the changes. 『 Status (1 of 2) Name: Neo Orpheus Class: None Level 13 (123,000/409,600) Title: None Health: 1,020/1,020 Mana: 580/580 Strength: 76 + 33 Agility: 59 + 19 Stamina: 68 Intelligence: 51 + 7 Vitality: 82+ 20 Perception: 7 Luck: 33 + 20 Unallocated points: 0 Spells: Isolated Space Creation.

{…} Neo held the egg in his hands, he couldn't help but marvel at its appearance. The surface of the egg was a glossy, deep blue, with intricate markings etched in silver. The markings seemed to shimmer and glow in the light, giving the egg an almost mystical quality. As he turned the egg over in his hands, he noticed it was slightly warm to the touch, almost as if something was alive inside. Neo wondered what kind of creature was growing inside this egg? He had never been much of a pet person, but something about this egg was intriguing to him. As he continued to examine the egg, he noticed a faint crack appearing along the surface. Neo gasped in surprise as the crack grew wider and wider, revealing a small, furry head trying to poke out from within. He watched in amazement as the creature struggled to break free from its shell, its movements becoming more frantic with each passing moment. As the shell of the egg cracked and fell away, Neo gazed in wonder at the creature that emer
Neo was enjoying his peaceful nap, but he felt a sharp jolt on his arm that woke him up. Bolt, who used Neo's arm as his personal training dummy, hit it with a small lightning snake. "Ow, Bolt! What was that for?" Neo groggily said, rubbing his arm. He looked at the clock and saw the time, he had been sleeping for about four hours, and it was already 5:00 pm. He sat up and stretched, feeling refreshed and energized. Neo got out of bed and took a refreshing shower, feeling the warm water wash away all his fatigue. After coming out of the shower, Neo looked at himself in the mirror, towel around his hips. Neo had a well-defined physique, with broad shoulders and a toned build that suggested he was in excellent physical condition. His height, being close to 6 feet (1.83 m), made him taller than average and gave him a commanding presence. His sandy brown hair was styled in a curly quiff, which added to his charm and gave him a playful, carefree look. His green eyes were sharp and penet
"It's not a date" Neo muttered, but still went to a florist and brought a bouquet of 2 potions. Blaze did not give a damn about being conservative or things like that and threw the health potion toward the florist and told it to make the best flower bouquet he could, and if it was to his taste, he'd toss in a mana potion. So the florist earned two potions for a flower bouquet. "Too extravagant" {Too stingy, I should---} "I shouldn't" Neo shook his head as he cut him mid-sentence. He knew that he'd be asking to buy something even more expensive and Neo believed it was not a date. {Need to at least prepare a gift for her parent.} Neo paused because what Blaze said was correct, but he didn't know what to get them, as he never met them in person. "What should I give them?" He asked, as he couldn't come up with anything. {…. I'll give them something good if the father- and mother-in-law are kind and heartwarming, like Bella.} Neo was again speechless and also shrugged as he didn
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at that stat, then at Neo, not able to believe what she was seeing. The highest she ever heard in humans was 15, and that person was crowned as the "Luck King" among humans in the whole tower. If he was a king, then what about Neo? She shuddered and thought about what sort of monster Neo was. But that thought passed as soon as it came, as she had been with Neo for like 7 years now and there was nothing about him that hinted that he was not a human. "Perhaps, you are blessed by the Luck Transcendent?" Bella said slowly, but not so much that Neo couldn't hear it. He was stunned by what she said. If that is true, then what about his other stats and his classes as well? Did every Transcendent turn their attention toward Neo and put a hand of kindness over his head? 'Did they?' {Don't be an idiot. If they do, I will cut down that hand. We are self-made not out of someone's pity.} Neo nodded and said, "No idea why it is so high. Perhaps all
"What are you thinking about?" Blaze asked when he saw her lost in thought. "Nothing." Her attention was brought away from that toward Blaze, who was also looking at her. Before the atmosphere turned awkward again, Blaze said, "You know, for a noble party, this isn't half bad." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I mean, I was expecting stuffy old ones sipping on champagne and discussing the stock market or something. But this is pretty lively." Bella chuckled. "Well, my parents know how to throw a party. And not all nobles are stuffy old farts, you know." Blaze shrugged. "I guess you're right. But I have to admit, I've always found it amusing how some people act like they're better than others just because they were born into a certain family." Bella raised an eyebrow. "Are you poking fun at my family?" Blaze grinned. "Maybe just a little. But don't worry, I won't cause a scandal or anything. I'm on my best behavior tonight." Bella playfully nudged him. "Good to know. But just r
He strolled with Selene, empty streets, crickets chirping, a peaceful wind blowing and the stars and moon in the sky gave the whole stroll a romantic feeling. Neo and Selene kept walking as he held her hand, a sweet smile on Selene's smile, which could melt even the Nether Iceberg. Neo felt a strange peace and said to her, "Thank you." They arrived at a small hill, waves crashing against its foot. Selene used her hand and slowly put the waving hair behind her ear, asking, "What for?" "Everything." "Didn't you already thank me?" "But it's still not enough." Neo sat down. Selene followed as she grasped his shoulder and put his head over her lap. A smile followed as she used her hand to massage her head. "You charmed me with this." A small chuckle left her mouth as she laughed lightly. Selene was a person who was conservative and that followed with her emotions as well, as she showed too little of them to anyone unless she was alone with Neo, as a smile could always be observed wh
"Kyrie, we need some information." (A/N Kyrie [Κύριε] means sir in ancient Greek.)"What would you like to know about?" Nikolaos asked as he took them to his house. His wife was preparing a meal for them as they sat down.Selene offered to help with preparing the meal, but Nikolas’s wife refused to let her do by telling them that making the guests work was frowned upon in their custom, which let her stop insisting."Is there any ship that sails to the depths?"Nikolaos smile vanished when he heard that and looked at Neo with a creased forehead, lines forming over it. He wanted to ask if Neo was joking, but seeing his calm face, which showed no lack of confidence; it showed no sign of any joke; he was serious."I don't think any ship here would even think about going to the outer circle, let alone the deep.""Why?”Neo asked; he became curious now. There were a lot of anomalies here, like everyone he met or saw till now were non-evolvers. Even the guards patrolling the area were only o
"Man, it's been over a year now." "Well, that's to be expected from that kind of difficulty." "Still, to challenge 10 Fables and still survive till now is unbelievable." "We are talking about the White Devil. He's bound to be that powerful." The blond guy with a giant sword on his back took a drag as he puffed the smoke out and said, "He wiped an entire household in one night. Staying alive should be easy-peasy for him." "I don't understand. From what the reports and news says, he is only a first rank evolver." "And?" "How can someone who just started learning the ropes could kill people from the family that have evolvers of stage 3 and 4 protecting them?" The other guy, who was wearing a hood and a pair of daggers on waist, said as he took a sip from the bottle. He still felt that the story was full of holes. "I don't know, man, but I heard he had an item that could change the shape of his weapon on his command plus the skill that caused white and red smoke coming out of his

Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
