Once classes ended, Shota and Rin took their time. Erix wouldn't suddenly disappear after just a few minutes, after all, right? And even if he did, he would surely contact them first. Shota appeared to have loosened up a bit and gone softer on Rin. He decided to try to be friends with Rin since he had done nothing but be nice to them. Also, he seemed to genuinely care for Erix, which went extremely well with Shota. During lunch today, they settled their differences and eventually became friends. But even after that, he still didn't have a silver lining of trust in him. Well, not only him but everyone else, even himself. They decided to go slowly to Erix's classroom. Though what they heard in the hallway wasn't that reassuring. People were talking about a low-level that managed to scare the shit out of four high-level students, so it wasn't hard to know what happened. But since there was no physical description of the low level, the boys just thought it wasn't Erix. There w
Seeing the once hovering balls now speeding toward him, his survival instinct kicked in. He knew he needed to survive and that would only be possible if he made a move. The sharp earth balls began closing in on him at a fast pace and the very last second before they could hit him, Erix ducked back and avoided the balls. Since the balls were numerous, he didn't let his guard down after bypassing the first phase instead, he regained his composure and continued dodging.The balls were fast but not so fast that Erix couldn't keep up with them. Thanks to his improved agility though, he was able to keep up with the speed of the balls even though he got hit from time to time. Unfortunately for Erix, the earth balls changed attack mode and began closing in on him in all directions. "Let's see if you can avoid my babies now." The big guy muttered with a sinister smile. Not only that, but he also began to juggle his earth balls in such a way that they magnetically hit Erix's back after he
Meanwhile, Rin quickly ran towards the big guy. Though he wouldn't kill him, that doesn't mean he wouldn't teach him a lesson. For Rin, people like him deserved to die. Even though he didn't know the feeling of being bullied, he imagined how painful and depressing it was. Bullying was something Rin would never want to experience in life. Even though his parents were only peasants that ran into Norxus clan to find refuge, he had a peaceful and comfortable life and got whatever he wanted. After all, he is the wisest lad in his clan. And surpasses most was the elites in his clan in matters concerning the brain. He invented many things that were quite useful to his clan. In his clan, he was known as a versatile elite. Well, despite all of his fame, none of it was heard outside the clan. This was how the clan worked. After becoming Norxus clan occupant, you indirectly pushed all your fame and achievements under the clan leader. The leader gets to decide whatever happens in your
The moment Shota heard that he understood what Rin was talking about. The retrieval team was probably on their way to retrieve the dead body of the student there. But that wasn't the case right now. It was the fact that Rin felt nothing upon contact with Erix's body. His body felt jolts of electricity when he touched Erix's body earlier, so how come Rin didn't have a similar reaction? However, curious to know if he'll feel the electricity again, he slowly patted Erix's body. Strangely enough, he felt nothing. The electricity he felt was gone and nothing could be felt again. 'What the fuck? But I felt something earlier!' Shota screamed in his head. His quietness was beginning to become weird for Rin, so he asked. "Hey, Shota, are you alright? Is something wrong? You haven't said or done anything, after all, I just told you." Rin said, a little puzzled. Shota was acting really weird. Shota didn't reply to Rin's words instantly. He held Erix's body for like a minute more befo
Now it was 10:45, and the boys had finally safely made it to the dorm. They tried hard to get in unnoticed. Erix's clothes were drenched in blood, so it would give them away if people saw them carrying him with blood-soggy clothes. After they got back to their dorm room, Rin suggested they take Erix to the clinic, but Shota quickly declined, telling him it wasn't needed since Erix had completely healed up. Rin was a bit taken aback when he heard that. He couldn't believe Shota's words, so decided to confirm for himself. Tearing open Erix's clothing, he was met with the clear skin under it. His skin looked restored and free of bruises. "B-But how come?" Rin stuttered in disbelief. He found it unbelievable. Erix's clothing was previously drenched in blood, meaning he must have lost a tremendous amount of it from injuries, but now, there weren't even any wounds to show for that. Erix was supposed to have bruises after so much blood left his body, but that wasn't the case. Looking a
Very early the next morning, Erix began to flicker his eyes open. 'I'm alive, how?' He muttered with half-closed eyes. He felt his heart cease beating after something heavy and rocky hit him in the back, so how come he was alive? 'I should be dead.' For a second there, he was unable to see anything when he first opened his eyes.The room was pitch black. But after his eye muscles relaxed, his night perception activated. He was surprised when he realized where he was. He was back in the dorm room. "Wait, what?!" He almost screamed and ran out of his bed. He clearly felt his heart crushed when that object hit his back. "What later happened in the forest last night?" He was becoming frustrated at the thought of what might have happened. 'Wait, did they follow me?' His best guess was that his roommates followed him but that was just impossible. He made sure no one followed him. 'But the big guy followed you.' His mind kept reminding him each time he thought of how impossible it
While Shota and Rin were busy preparing themselves for school, Erix decided to check out his system. He got about three skills after his re-evolving, so he wanted to check them out. [Blood Slash: (Lvl 1)] [Eye of sin: (Lvl 1)] Erix stood there speechless as he carefully read everything in front of his eyes. 'So indeed I'm a demon vampire now.' He thought. Like most people, Erix only heard demons/vampires, but not in the combined state. He didn't even know what it was, and if it was a real race. It could also just be something from the system, or it might as well not even exist. Well, he has already slowly started to accept the fact that he is what he is. Not like the system would respect his choice if he wishes to reject it, so he is better off accepting it since he would even get stronger along the way. If it would make Erix stronger, then he was in for it. With the changes he saw in his stats and skills, he is already liking what he is seeing. The first thing he noticed
'Oh, I see, I need to level up. But I don't think my daily exp can do much. It's only 15 exp from completing daily quests while I still need more 400 exp to level up. I need to find a way.' He thought. He didn't think much of the gauntlet stat page since they weren't a lot to see there. Sure his stats were going up but he still didn't know how much it could affect him in a fight. Though he adored gauntlets, he don't know how to use them yet. Sure mastering how to use it perfectly wasn't something one could achieve with effort, he still didn't know how and where to begin with it. Surely, he will have the weapon class today, it wasn't as if he will learn how to use gauntlets that much. While he was having this thought, another message came from the system. [Host has been granted an option to disguise gauntlet] [Do you want to change the appearance of your gauntlet?] 'Well, yes. I don't want to be carrying it everywhere I go,' He answered and immediately a green light emerged

In the fifth city of the planet of demons, the darkness was absolute. The only source of light was the dimly red light coming from the sky. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, a young lady could be seen walking down the street. Her long red hair fluttered in the chilly wind as she made her way to her destination.The demons on the streets recognized her instantly. She was none other than Tania, the famous saintess of the tenth city. Her reputation preceded her, and the demons knew her for her unparalleled strength and her unwavering respect for the demon laws. They were surprised to see her walking down the street of the fifth city at this hour, and they couldn't help but wonder what brought her out of her abode.As Tania walked past them, she maintained a cold and expressionless face. Her demeanor was as stoic as ever, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in her mind. She continued walking, lost in thought until she finally arrived in front of a modern and decent bungalow.Wi
Lord Julian led Erix, Shota, and Orah up a grand staircase to the second floor of his regal mansion. The walls were adorned with paintings of famous battles and landscapes. Once they reached the top, he turned and gestured towards a door on the left."This will be your room," Lord Julian said. "I hope it'll suffice for your stay here."When they entered the room, they admired the room.The furniture was made from the finest wood on the planet and decorated with intricate engravings. There was a large three-poster bed, a vanity table with a mirror, and a fireplace to keep them warm during the colder nights.Shota nodded with admiration "It's habitable. Not bad."Orah examined the room carefully, old habits from his training, and started to make a list of any potential security risks. When he was finished, he said, "It's perfect. Better than that crappy rubbish from earlier."Lord Julian noticed the absence of Scott and raised an eyebrow. "Where is the servant goblin? Did he not wish to
The ruthless demon towered over the cowering goblin, its eyes glowing red in the dim light of the forest.The goblin had lost all of his comrades in the battle that had been raging for minutes and was now at the mercy of the demon that had led the attack."Please, spare me," the goblin pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. "I surrender."The demon let out a deep, thundering laugh. "Very wise of you, little goblin," Orah growled. "You have made the right choice. I will let you live. But there are consequences."Instead of killing the goblin, however, the demon did something unexpected. He looked the goblin straight in the eye and muttered words in a language the goblin did not understand.Suddenly, the goblin felt a strange sensation coursing through his body. He paled, but at the same time, a strange sense of loyalty blossomed within him. He looked up at Orah with wide eyes and suddenly realized what had just happened."You... you manipulated my mind just like your friend did with Ro
Erix heaved a sigh when he heard what Orah said. Orah had deliberately spoken of the rebellion to give him no choice but to agree with his words, and it had really worked.Definitely, they wouldn't let the goblins go after learning of their plan for fear of being exposed. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they must kill the goblins to silence them. There are other ways to silence them without actually killing them.As much as Erix had the urge to kill the goblins for the sake of exp, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain loyal servants who undoubtedly would bring more benefits than just the immediate gain of exp.Thus, instead of complying with Orah's appeal, he acted differently."No, we won't kill them. They'll be useful to us if we have them as servants. I don't want us to waste them by killing them," Erix told his friends."How are we going to tame these losers anyway? Why don't we kill them now to save ourselves the trouble of doing that in the future?" Shota spoke up, soun
Erix and his friends delved deeper and deeper into the forest as they talked to relieve their boredom.However, that was only until they came upon a group of seven goblins, armed to the teeth.They stopped a short distance away from the goblins before they were seen.The goblins carried spears, bows, arrows, and many other vicious weapons."What should we do now? Go back?" Orah asked in a very low tone."These guys are armed. They are not like any other goblins we have encountered so far. Maybe we should leave before they see us," Erix asserted. In his opinion, he found it pointless to waste their strength fighting the goblins."Come on, it'll be fun to fight these losers. Only I can take them out at once," Shota said with excited eyes. However, seeing that none of his friends reciprocated this enthusiasm, he sighed and said, "Fine, if that's what you want, then... Ahhh!!!" Shota cried out and jumped up in startlement.A few seconds later, a rat ran out from under the ground where he h
In the portal room inside military base two, a purple opening appeared from which five soldiers emerged.The soldiers were the military team that had gone to look for the students who had gotten lost inside a beast planet. However, they had returned empty-handed, believing that the students were no longer there.They saw it with their own eyes as the students dissolved into red, invisible dust."Everyone, except Leo, can go back to their domains and rest. I'll report to the General Staff with Leo," General Stanley announced shortly after they arrived.They all nodded and went on their way. But all of them except Leo.General Stanley looked at Leo and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this? Roaming about Camuti alone is dangerous, you could even die there."Although he was always envious of Leo and his impeccable way of doing things, he didn't wish him death.Leo's face was cold and expressionless. He only nodded but said nothing."If you say so. Just know that you don't have to kill
Josh was a little startled when he heard that. He didn't know why, but Erix's words made him anxious and frightened. He tried to put up a calm facade, but that immediately crumbled as Erix approached him.Erix walked towards him calmly and with a cold expression. He didn't look excited or angry.'But he's only human,' a thought popped into Josh's head. 'What if this is only a technique to intimidate and disorient you? He may have super healing, but he's not invulnerable to death, so be smart. Kill him when you get the chance.'Josh's courage immediately picked up as this thought crossed his mind.He got into a fighting stance and laughed nervously, "Come on, little human. You can't scare me."Erix chuckled when he heard this. He pronto activated his light wing boots and transported himself behind Josh, invisible as a bullet."How about now, are you afraid of me?" Erix asked in a whisper, chuckling. He wasn't attacking Josh yet. He just wanted to scare him a little.Josh was terrified
