The scenery of the twilight forest was a mystery of its own. In some areas there was darkness, while in some there was light, like the trees were trying to play hide and seek, which gave this beautiful area a deep but dangerous feeling.Myra walked through it with no problem as a stud earring was decorated on her ear. This was the earring Neo had. Myra walked deeper with the sword held tightly, and her guard fully raised up.As she ventured into the ethereal Twilight Forest, her divine energy resonated with the surroundings, infusing the realm with a gentle radiance. The forest seemed to respond to her presence; the foliage taking on an ethereal glow as she passed through. The path ahead was bathed in a soft divine light, guiding her deeper into the enigmatic realm.In the depths of the Twilight Forest, monstrous creatures lurked within the shadows. They remained hidden, their forms obscured by the interplay of light and darkness. Whispers of their presence echoed through the air, cre
There was a silence as the creature was slowly walking toward where Myra was when it felt something and looked down, a sword piercing its chest and coming out from behind its back. Myra came out of the rubble, her emotions calmed, and her face regained the indifference again. "So this was a trial." Myra said as she looked at her hands, which were healing themselves. "I won't give up on it." Myra said as he walked slowly. Her step lit up the surroundings. Roar* The creature roared as it attacked again. Myra moved her hand forward, covered in golden radiance, and caught the incoming fist. The creature tried retracting, but it wasn't budging one bit. Myra moved her other hand forward and grabbed the hilt of her sword before moving it upward, cutting the creature from chest to head in two. It stopped struggling as it went motionless before disintegrating. 『 Trial of Conviction completed.』 『 Calculating….』 『 Host has not given up on itself.』 『 Congratulation, you have successful
Sneaking slowly to the center required extreme attention, as now, after every dozen steps, an elemental would pass by. Blaze looked around carefully before using [Shadow Step] and appearing over a tree before disappearing again next to a stone, but stopped and activated [Stone Skin] his skin literally became stony along with his clothes and he latched himself to the stone. An elemental passed by, not seeing him at all because of this camouflage. {At least some benefits of this skill are there. But it's too damn stiff.} 'The stone mammoth would die of shame if it learned how I used this skill.' Blaze again used the shadow step and appeared behind a tree. He was getting closer, or so he thought, as he didn't know where the center lay. {Next time I meet that bird. I’ll give it a piece of my mind.} I've already said it like a hundredth time.’ {Is that even a word?} Blaze grumbled inwardly, as this should be the most dangerous thing he did in his life. Neo didn't say anything as t
Neo hurriedly came closer to it and put the Thundercore away before digging the tree from the opposite side so that if the boss returned it wouldn't be able to see him. Using the skill again, a spade appeared, and he started digging. In less than 5 seconds, he reached its roots. Not dilly-dallying, he formed a blade and cut the root and put it away. He also cut down a branch and also got some fruits before hurriedly using shadow step and appearing before the cave mouth. Blaze looked around and found that the boss hadn't arrived yet. He activated the ability again and vanished from the spot. He didn't stop as he kept using the ability and teleported again and again, not caring if the elementals were seeing him or not, because he needed to run away fast. "Which direction?" Blaze asked as he forgot the direction because of constant teleportation. 'I don't know.' Neo had no idea as well that everything here looked the same, and he didn't mark it when he was entering the area, a mis
He stumbled upon a sight that seized his breath and filled his heart with wonder. Before him stood a tree of unparalleled beauty, a marvel in full bloom. Its delicate branches extended gracefully, adorned with blossoms that radiated with a soft, ethereal glow. The tree's blossoms, a symphony of delicate pinks and whites, captivated Neo's gaze, their sheer beauty invoking a sense of awe. Each petal was a testament to nature's artistry, as if carefully painted by the hands of a divine artist. The air around the tree carried a subtle, intoxicating fragrance, further enhancing its enchantment. Neo approached the tree in awe, drawn to its magnificence. He extended a hand to caress the velvety petals, their silky touch evoking a sense of serenity. The tree seemed to exude a tranquil energy, as if it held the secrets of the forest within its branches. The leaves of the tree, although fewer in number, crackled with an electric energy, each one pulsating with the raw power of lightning. The
{The core.} Neo looked at his mana core and found it covered in clouds. He looked closely and found them to be filled with thunder, in which lightning crackled. "What is happening?" {I think maybe lightning energy or something like that.} Neo then opened the status panel and checked what was happening. 『 Status (1 of 2) Name: Neo Orpheus.

Neo stood at the edge of a cliff, with the peak visible to him. He had been climbing the mountain for a while now and was standing just near the peak. After reaching the peak, he saw that the lightning kept striking the peak of the mountain."Must be some sort of lightning rod up there."{Or maybe a treasure.}Neo climbed, with the help of black and golden blades that penetrated the rocks easily like butter.{The lightning strike has corroded it too much.}Neo wanted to do this, as Blaze usually handled this kind of thing.{Control the strength and should have chosen a jagged blade.}Neo slowly moved up, and the trip was smooth if one dismisses the bolt of lightning that constantly struck him. His body became a host for all the absorbed lightning now.[Lightning: 19,320]The clouds covering his core were now so dense that even seeing the core would be difficult for others. The core was Neo's, so his gaze could easily penetrate and look and the Black and Golden core divided by a blue m

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,
