"Bitter piece of shit!" A young man with pale skin and raven short hair who seemed to be around sixteen to eighteen years old almost freaked out as he stared at his smartphone screen, utterly angered and disappointed."Why did the author always have a reason to make him suffer?""Why?" He queried, still staring at his smartphone with a fierce scowl.It had been four months since Jason started reading a particular web novel: Saga of Albany. This web novel was serialized on one of the best platforms in the globe, however, with every passing chapter, there was always a reason to make the MC suffer...Although it was a very wonderful novel with great potential, the world-building and character development was outstanding. The only thing that wrenched Jason's gut was this usual problem that the main character would get himself into. Jason usually read "Saga of Albany" every day on either his way to work or when coming back. As a young chap who had lost his parents when he was eight, lef
"What?! Are you kidding me?" The same voice from the colorless orb sounded again, however, the god-like figure standing in front of it didn't seem to be moved by the exclamation."You should be glad that you had this opportunity," the god-like figure spoke with a slight smile.In the next moment, he pointed one of his fingers towards the orb, and suddenly, the orb quickly transformed into the body of a teenage boy with unhealthy pale skin and long brown hair. With a rush of panic, Jason observed himself with a worried look on his face."This is not my body... What's going on?" He complained, casting glances at the god-like figure standing not quite far from him.The god-like figure didn't reply to him at once... He only sighed, turned, walked a little bit backward, and returned to face Jason's direction again."Your body is gone. Do you expect to have your body back after that brutal crash from the truck?""Do you?" The god-like figure asked.It was now that Jason noticed the physi
Jason just transmigrated into the body of Ethan Nox after falling into that abyss in the Alternate Realm, and now, he was right in Triple A, an arcane academy where young Arcanists are trained and guided to succeed in the path of magic.The name "Triple A" was just some kind of abbreviation form with the name "Aetherum Arcanum Academy". Due to having three starting letters as "A", they best called it Triple A.The Aetherum Arcanum Academy was the only academy for Arcanists in Albany, and thus, despite the fact that this world was ten times larger than Earth, every youngster who manages to awaken their Mana Core and possessed an affinity for arcane magic must be enrolled into the academy at any cost.The people believed that the mages were the only source of peace and safety in the society and had made sure that everything needed to make these youngsters grow in the path of magic was provided.Although not only Arcanists are mages in this world... In this world, Arcanists, Elementalist
'What the heck is this?!' Ethan shrugged upon reading what was written on the screen. Actually, being Ethan Nox, a system was alien to him. But in Jason's point of view, this is the legendary mysterious stuff that helps MCs grow in several novels. Somehow, Ethan's life was a mixture of his and Jason's, so after some realization, he knew what the system stuff meant, but what the hell is the Sidekick Assistant System? Ethan tried to calm down. Below the words of announcement for the system was a pair of phrases written: [Commence Progression]. Ethan quickly muttered "Commence" with a very low tone, not wanting anyone to notice anything weird. Somehow, he noticed that he was the only one who could see the screen, and at least, that was a relief. The only thing that could get odder is if he was noticed doing some strange communication with an invisible entity. Then, everyone would think the Profession Detector had a glitch by revealing that he was an Arcanist instead of a Spiritual
Ethan Nox felt an intense pain around the right side of his chick, due to the punch he just received from a male 2nd Year. Placing his left hand on his left chick, he cast a fierce gaze at the 2nd Year Adept, the urge to retaliate lingered on him, however, Ethan forced himself to avoid trouble."Ethan, are you okay?" Jeff who also saw the 2nd Year punch Ethan was stunned. Seeing Ethan's pained look, he couldn't help but ask. "Let's... Let's just get outta here," he quickly said and pulled Ethan out of that scene. However, Ethan still stared death into the cruel senior's eyes, as they both began a staring session.They kept exchanging promising gazes, indicating that a red line had been drawn between them. Soon, Ethan had no sight of the 2nd Year student, as they entered the boarding area of the academy."Ah, that was a massive bang, Ethan," Jeff teased as they approached the building where their dorm room was located. Apart from the towering buildings in the main part of the academ
After the apocalypse, not only The Changed were the threat that humanity had. There was a sudden existence of spiritual beasts. Although this wasn't the main threat that humanity had, they could only be seen in deserted, lonesome areas. This was why anyone who was sent into the Woodlands was given a vital weapon to ensure safety. Actually, that was why Mason was dressed in thick armor and was with a longsword.But..."Why does he stink so badly," Jeff complained, covering his nose."He smells like rotten fish," Ethan couldn't help but comment, disgusted."No, it smells more like the corpse of a Changed," Jeff corrected Ethan who suddenly glared at him upon hearing his statement."Huh? Have you got to see one before?" Ethan asked, extremely curious. "Not really... Just a dead one slain by my father. A Spark-tier Changed to be precise."Ethan found it hard to believe. Although he nodded positively, he was still curious, so he asked."Your father, what's his rank?" At first, Jeff was
"I told you, Ethan! This plant is so precious!" Mason was so delighted that he forgot that he was in a library. Of course, all libraries have got one typical rule: every visitor must be quiet at all costs."Do you forget that you are in a library?" After staring at Mason for a while, Ethan asked with furrowed brows.Hearing what Ethan just said, it was as if his reminder was a mouth-shutting spell. Mason froze, as well as his mouth being shut."Ah shit, I was just too excited," Mason said. "So, how huge is the strength we are talking about?" Ethan asked as he tried to study what was on the page.Mason hesitated a bit. "I don't really know... I can just read further since everything about the elixir is written here."Ethan nodded. "I'll just hang around then."They both agreed and Ethan left that spot. He walked around the first floor library, looking for books associated with The Changed but found no one.There were over a thousand books as said by the librarian on the first floor,
There were four lengthy ranges of tall shelves lined in the vast room, the books shrouding every space. Out of these four, Ethan hid behind one, the second one. There was a lengthy space that looked like an aisle by every shelf's compartment. But out of all, Ethan's hiding spot came to be the widest aisle. What's worse? Ethan sighted a door from the near distance... He was taken aback. He just heard the librarian speaking to the principal about the third floor. Glancing around, Ethan didn't seem to notice any other entrance unit in any part of the room, making it clear that this was the path they would take upon going to the third floor. The entrance was just a tiny distance away from his hiding spot. *Thud. Thud. Thud.* Soon, Ethan heard bold footsteps approaching his direction, well, he didn't hesitate before finding a way to get himself outta there. If he got caught by any chance, he would be fiercely punished. Ethan made a promise to himself... "No matter what happens, I
