his feet treaded across the hallway, several pairs of eyes looked at her with interest and some with wonder. The hustle and bustle turned into a commotion, the people were curious, as was he himself. Her beady eyes wandered in various directions to refract her gaze, before the room with flats 1-7 made her step inside. Again, all pairs of eyes stared at her, as if he was the object of most interest there.

"Why is there no notice that we have a new student?" a student said to his friend.

"Wait, that face looks familiar." said another.

Arkanza walked towards the table that was covered in graffiti, he checked the entire surface of the object including the chair.

"Hm, safe. Still usable." he said calmly.

As if not considering the people present there, he sat her butt on the seat. Taking out a few books from the desk locker, his began to turn over the sheets that were covered in graffiti.

"Doesn't he know that the desk belongs to that person?" whispered the children not far from where he was.

"Too bad, if that guy shows up he's finished." said a friend who was still in the same group.

"You're right, even though his face is quite handsome--"

"Psstt, shut up already!" interrupted his other friend not when several gangs of students arrived, having a striking appearance and those people even made way for him.

"Hey you! Stay away or bad luck will come your way too!" said a young man with many piercings in his ears, a small canine tooth on the right further supporting his hobo face.

Arkanza ignored him, preferring to look back at the books. And the boys also didn't realize who was sitting there.

"Hmm, did you guys do all this?" said Arkanza opening the conversation.

The youth began to boast, "Of course, I'm very talented in improving the appearance of books like that!"

A follower of the punks squinted his eyes, his thick glasses were righted and time and time again his probing gaze tried to detect who the cool guy was who occupied the chair of the person they used to bully.

"I see, what's your name?" asked Arkanza with a sweet smile. The people who saw all that instantly blushed, he supported his chin and looked at the man with a friendly gaze

"My name is Anagata! Everyone calls me Gata or Gaga, I'm so strong and blah blah blah..."

The young man looked so proud explaining his name, what he and his friends used to do.

"Hee~ I see, our future will be more advanced if a Wanara dominates." Arkan sarcastically chuckled.

"What Wanara, I'm Anagata--"

"Wait a minute, you're... Arkanza, huh!?" cut in the young man with glasses.

Instantly the people in the class gasped, they whispered again.

"What the hell are you Aru, how could he be that dork! Hahaha!"

Anagata laughed loudly, but this time no one followed. Instantly the class fell silent, Arkanza just smiled and looked at Anagata who was so stupid.

"Bo-bos, he's... he's really Arkanza!!!"

"ARKANZA?!"

his body was stunned not when everyone united their voices and made it sound so big, he stroked his chest softly.

"You guys, can't you just not surprise me for a day?!" Arkanza said a little annoyed, his breathed slowly.

Everyone was silent, "Are you really Arkanza...?" asked a woman who approached him.

he flashed a sweet smile that looked creepy in the eyes of the students, "Yes, does my face look so different? I might have forgotten your names a bit because of that incident,"

Arkanza glanced at the crowd that was now standing still, he was deliberately fishing which he did not know why the body lord had been out of school for a while. Why the servant was so worried about him and he wanted to see the whole truth from these innocent children.

"Arkanza the outcast child? I didn't expect him to change so much in such a short time."

And sure enough, he was met with gossip and ridicule again. Arkanza flashed a smile as thin as tissue divided by 10, in his 30 years of life no one had dared to backbite him yet these boys who were no more than half his real age were so bold towards him.

'Do I have to give a little warning? Why are these kids so adorable, I want to throw them into the crocodile pond.' he thought coldly.

From here he began to weigh up all the information he had gotten that the master of the body of his soul was now the poor child who had taken out his emotions on the servant. His mother was betrayed by his father and now due to the rumors, his father neglected him and refused to even provide for him. He thought he would inherit everything but his life changed in an instant, his mother tried to keep the overseas branch company while the parent company was taken over by his father. Now his father has a family of his own, but because his mother still owns more than half of the shares, his father still wants to maintain a relationship.

"You think changing your appearance like this will make you great, huh?"

"Once an outcast, always an outcast!"

The corners of his lips tugged, he rose from his seat quickly. Arkanza stared fixedly at the swearing perpetrator, with a grin that grew wider and wider making the atmosphere of the class feel so gripping. The other students and female students fell silent instantly, the one who had never fought back was now baring his fangs.

"Hee~ I see, an outcast huh~" in a swinging tone.

"You think because I've been quiet, you feel great for bullying me all this time? Don't you ever think what if I fight back someday and get back at you for everything you've done to me?" he threatened right in the ear of the young man who was already trembling with fear.

"What if, all this time, I deliberately gave in to you, showing my weak side and catching you off guard. Then one night, your house explodes or catches fire, suddenly consuming you and all your assets and family. Don't you ever think about that?" he continued to intimidate, a terrible smile on his handsome face.

"Ah yes, Bagaskara."

His feet treaded and stopped right in front of the man who was the body lord's main reason for ending his life, a nondescript man who had strangely made his way into the gang.

"Don't think I've forgotten, that 'insult' of yours. That broke everything from me, do I have to hold you accountable now? If you're not--"

"Get away from me!!! You--he threatened to kill me if I still bullied him!!!" Bagaskara said hysterically, the dozens of pairs of eyes that were there made him the center of attention now.

Arkanza looked down, Bagaskara pushed his to the cold tile floor. his head bowed before his body shook with laughter, Bagaskara wanted to play games with him like this? Well he will get the right playmate.

    If it was only sent to a private forum containing the extended family, then the body reaction shown would not be this severe. "Hi guys, it's me again. Can you see what this person is doing? Wait, are you sure it's a living entity?" said Norman in a very cheerful voice. His feet pointed to the young man who was eating his food in silence, in a deep bow. But unfortunately Norman did not stay silent, together with his sister Amber, he continued to disturb Arkanza's peace in enjoying his food. Amber stepped forward and poured a lot of hot sauce into the plate, making Arkanza's food contaminated with the hot sauce. "Come on, eat greedily like livestock, hahaha!" said Amber with her hand pushing Arkanza's head to touch his food with her mouth. Then Norman continued to record the scene, Arkanza was forced to eat his food. The sound of sobs and nausea echoed until the food was gone without a trace. "Good, eat until finished. Don't waste the food that the chef has worked so hard to make, f

    "Mom, dad is calling you." A teenage girl looked so careful in calling an older woman. Amber didn't get the answer she wanted, thinking of calling her mother back. "Mom--" "I'll catch up with you later. Is Norman in his room?" Maria rebutted in a low voice. The hand took a small towel that she used to wipe the body of the young man who looked sound asleep, put the object in a small basin filled with water and wrung it out. "He's in the room. Mom, dad--" "Can't you read the situation? Something hurts here." Amber was surprised to hear her mother's words, Maria usually didn't act like this. It felt like Amber was so far away from Maria, and her mother was like another person in a short time. Amber kept thinking, the last time she was scolded because her actions had gone too far in teasing Arkanza that he was punished. So did her younger sibling, not to mention her actions that made the whole school treat Arkanza badly. All of that was done by Amber and Norman, inciting, and so o

"Is this the work of that damn brat again?" asked a young man wearing the same uniform as Norman. "Shut up idiot, I don't want to talk about it!" Norman replied curtly. Norman was indeed known to have a bad temper, his friend was seen looking into the car. "You two didn't go together this time?" asked his friend again. "We left him, we haven't even put on the uniform yet." said Amber who was disciplined about time. It was also because today's duty schedule made Amber and Norman rush too lazy to cause trouble, the Killer teacher named Isla was too strong to be defeated. Luckily Adam had gone to work, so they didn't need to cause more trouble for his mother. "I don't care if he walks to school or something." said Norman in a mocking tone.

I'm only here to deliver my master's uniform, I apologize profusely for this commotion. But allow me to help Mr. Arkanza change into his uniform." Milan bowed his body respectfully, hearing Milan's explanation made one of the educators straighten his gaze towards Arkanza. "You brought him here, Mr. Bodgan? He hasn't been to school for a long time and then he comes in and acts up? How dare you are, Mr. Bodgan." continued the teacher. With a receding forehead and a bit of hair, the man glared at Arkanza in annoyance, he also helped Anagata who had mocked Arkanza earlier.

    The evening sky glowed golden-orange as Amber forcefully pushed open the large gate of their family home. Her long hair, usually sleek and regal, was disheveled, mirroring the fury etched across her face. Her loafers clicked sharply against the marble floor as she stormed into the house. “Mom!” she shouted, throwing her school bag onto the sofa in the living room. Maria, who was enjoying a cup of warm tea, looked up calmly, though a knot of worry began to form in her chest. “What’s wrong, Amber? Why are you stomping in like that?” Maria asked gently. Amber stood with her arms crossed over her chest. “It’s Arkanza! He made me so mad at school today!” Maria set her teacup down slowly, forcing herself to remain composed. “What did he do this time?” Amber took a deep breath, her frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. “He embarrassed me in front of my friends! I was talking to them in the cafeteria, and he walked by and *spilled his drink* all over my table. I know he did

    "I just wanted to return the book you lent me yesterday. Thank you, it was really interesting." Lilian placed the book on his desk and sat in the seat next to him.Across the room, Valerie watched the scene with a cold gaze. She bit her bottom lip, trying to distract herself by writing in her notebook, but her fingers paused halfway."Why is she always around him?" Valerie muttered quietly to herself.Valerie had long harbored feelings for Arkanza. Though she never expressed it directly, she always made sure to be by his side, both as a friend and a support in various things. But since Lilian had come into the picture, Arkanza's attention had become divided, and that made Valerie feel sidelined.Every time she saw Lilian talking to Arkanza, Valerie felt a tightness in her chest. She tried to ignore those feelings, convincing herself that Lilian had no ill intentions. But the more she saw their closeness, the harder it was to suppress her jealousy."Valerie, are you okay?" one of her f

    “Thank you,” Arkanza replied curtly, trying to keep his tone neutral.Lilian sat beside him, her face as cheerful as ever. “What’s on your mind? You’ve been daydreaming a lot lately.”Arkanza sighed. “Life. Sometimes it’s too complicated to understand.”Lilian gave a small smile. “Life is like that. But you don’t have to face it alone, Arkanza. Sometimes, sharing helps.”Her words sounded genuine, and for a moment, Arkanza was tempted to open up. But he knew better. He couldn’t trust Lilian completely—not yet.As days passed, Arkanza found himself talking to Lilian more often. They sat together during breaks, shared snacks, or simply chatted casually in the school garden. Lilian often talked about her life at home, about her family running a small bakery near the city center.“My parents are hard workers,” Lilian said one day. “But they always make sure I have time to study and do the things I love.”Arkanza looked at her curiously. “They sound like good people.”“They are,” Lilian re

    Lilian appeared seemingly out of nowhere, glaring at the teacher with an unusual sharpness in her eyes.Enzo looked momentarily startled but didn’t back down. “Oh, it’s you again. What is it?” he asked, stepping closer.Lilian stood firm. “I heard Miss Isla is looking for you. She said it’s urgent.”Arkanza felt an unexpected sense of relief. Once again, Lilian had come to his aid. Even though he couldn’t show much gratitude, he sensed something profound in her actions—something he couldn’t easily understand.“What is it you really want from me?” Arkanza asked after a brief silence.Lilian glanced at him before turning back to Enzo. “You’d better go now, or Miss Isla might get upset. It seems important,” she said flatly. Without waiting for Enzo’s response, she pulled Arkanza away.In his mind, Arkanza began to wonder: Why did Lilian always appear in these critical moments? There had to be more to it than just good intentions. Lilian seemed to know something she wasn’t revealing.In t

    But Arkanza wasn’t satisfied with that answer. Why did Lilian always appear at critical moments like this?Suspicious ObservationsDays passed, yet the question lingered in Arkanza’s mind. He began to observe Lilian’s movements around the school. She was often seen watching him from afar, but every time he tried to approach her, Lilian disappeared into the crowd.One day, the opportunity arose. In a quiet library, Arkanza found Lilian reading a thick book on psychology.“You always show up at the right time. Are you a spy or something?” Arkanza joked, though he was half-serious.Lilian looked up, smiling faintly. “Maybe I just care.”“Care? Why?”Lilian closed her book and fixed her gaze on Arkanza with an inscrutable expression. “Because I know what it’s like to be in that position. I don’t want to see bad things happen again.”Her answer only deepened Arkanza’s suspicion. He wanted to press further, but Lilian stood up. “I have to go.

    With unwavering resolve, Arkanza pushed forward. But he was also acutely aware that the deeper he probed, the greater the danger he faced. Damien had the power to destroy everything Arkanza had built, and beyond that, his network could crush anyone who dared to stand in his way.Weeks later, Arkanza received shocking news. He learned that Damien had infiltrated his network—even some of his most trusted allies had betrayed him and sided with Damien. Hearing this, Arkanza realized that his future was in jeopardy. He would not only have to confront Damien directly but also fight against those who had once stood by his side.The only way to uncover Damien’s plan was to face him in person, but Arkanza knew the confrontation would not be easy. If Damien truly knew his every move, every step Arkanza took would be under careful scrutiny.Taking a significant risk, Arkanza decided to meet Damien face-to-face, hoping to uncover who was truly pulling the strings. He knew the meeting would be per

    One night, while in his study, Arkanza received a message from one of his trusted subordinates. There was new information that could lead to Malov’s location. Without hesitation, Arkanza decided to follow the lead.But when Arkanza arrived at the location, he was met with an unexpected reality. There, he encountered someone he had once trusted deeply: Evelyn, a brilliant and confident woman he had always considered an ally.“Evelyn?” Arkanza asked in shock, trying to steady himself despite the turmoil in his heart. “What are you doing here?”Evelyn offered a faint smile, cold and devoid of the warmth they once shared.“I didn’t expect you to come, Arkanza. But I suppose this is as good a time as any for a conversation.”“A conversation?” Arkanza felt a chill run through him. “What’s going on? What are you hiding, Evelyn?”Evelyn chuckled softly, her laughter carrying an edge of disdain.“I’m no one now, Arkanza. I’m just playing a much larger game. Malov is the only one who knows wh

    However, the deeper Arkanza delved, the more he felt something was off. The information Aidan provided was too easy to find, too perfect. Was Aidan truly trying to help, or was he merely leading Arkanza into a larger trap?That evening, Arkanza met Aidan again at the same location. This time, the atmosphere between them was tense.“I’ve analyzed the data, Aidan. Something’s not right. It’s all too perfect. Are you really helping me, or are you setting me up for something bigger?” Arkanza asked, his voice laced with suspicion.Aidan hesitated for a moment, seemingly shaken by the question. “What are you implying?” he asked, his voice slightly trembling.“This data is too structured, too deliberate. I don’t know if you’re truly trying to help me or if you’re working for someone more powerful than Smith. Don’t think I’m a fool, Aidan,” Arkanza said sharply, scrutinizing Aidan’s every move.Aidan looked confused and slightly anxious. “Arkanza, I… I just want you to know the truth. I’m tr

    As he moved further into the room, he spotted a familiar figure in front of him—Malov. The man who had once been his closest ally now stood among individuals who seemed to wield power beyond comprehension.Malov’s gaze met Arkanza’s, expressionless as if he didn’t recognize him. Yet Arkanza could see something dark in his eyes—something that had transformed Malov into someone unrecognizable.“Arkanza,” Malov said in a low voice. “You’ve come all this way just to see this?”A faint smile crossed Malov’s face, and in that moment, Arkanza realized this was not the same Malov he once knew. The man before him was a traitor, vastly different from the friend who had once stood by his side.“Don’t try to hide what you’ve done, Malov,” Arkanza said firmly. “I know who’s behind all this. And I will stop it.”Malov merely smiled. “You’re too late, Arkanza. Everything has already changed. The truth you’re seeking… is far out of reach.”The meeting had just begun, and Arkanza knew this was only th

  • The Path to Hidden Truths

    Arkanza’s search had taken him far from what he had initially imagined. At first, he had sought only to exact revenge on Adam Smith, the man who had betrayed him and taken away his power. But the deeper he dug, the more mysteries he uncovered, drawing him into a conspiracy far greater than he had anticipated. One note, found in a hidden archive, became the starting point for investigating an unexpected and secretive organization.The note was written in nearly illegible handwriting, as though someone had intentionally tried to conceal their identity. However, upon closer inspection, Arkanza was able to piece it together into something larger. Hidden within the words was confusing information about an organization he had never imagined—an entity seemingly beyond Adam Smith’s control. This organization appeared to have played a role in shaping his life and, more shockingly, in the downfall of the group he had built and even in his supposed death.After nights of analysis, Arkanza knew t
