In order to catch up with his siblings and for his father to recognize himself as a descendant of the empire, Luca takes the entrance exam to Unifine Magic University.It was a place for adventurers who possessed recognized knowledge and powers. They should have a great potential to conquer high-level dungeons. They will be taught the basics of magic, their respective classes, and knowledge about the dungeon itself.During his studies, he met someone who also awakened a transcended class, Assassin Cross, and a young girl with a Spellcaster class. Luca acknowledged that the girl's capacity was on Redcaste's level, but he had heard nothing about her recently.Finished ensuring the village and forest’s safety, Luca got on his horse, not immediately returning to the previous town. Still, instead, he chose to turn around to the area that the village chief mentioned before.Luca knew the Village of Alian as an imperial family but never personally visited it. He heard that a distinguished Kn
"So no one saw what happened in fully, and by the time everyone woke up, Archie and Mrs. Emeline were already unconscious?"“The villagers saw the magic’s light used by that person, and they also felt a strange sensation and powers that forced them not to get any closer.”"And where is this young master right now?" Luca asked after all the stories went and ended with the person they called young master.”Luca's real identity surprised Erick and the guards a little. Not because he was a descendant of the empire but more because of the rumors that had been circulating about Luca, the fourth son."That child, isn’t he knew I’m not going well, but he chose to go alone with Layla somewhere," grumbled Emeline.“This morning, Young Master asked us to prepare a horse. He said there was something he needed to do with Layla. We have tried to provide escorts, but Young Master can argue with reasons we cannot refute," explained one of the guards.Archie left before Emeline was awake. Of course, t
It didn't feel like night had come; an unexpected plan had disrupted the young master's schedule a little. He was sitting in front of the window, holding a book he had bought from the town this afternoon.On the table lay four small bottles of potions, each having a different effect and use. After consulting with someone in Wellspring Town, Archie was able to purchase a potion that would relieve their symptoms.His mind was spinning again, and even though his current body could survive after suffering from symptoms of exhaustion due to the continued use of MP, it was certain that his former self would probably fall ill the next day. That proves that Archie Shellford's body is fitter than before he came on to replace.From the window, he could see a street used by residents. Many people were passing by, including sellers selling their wares. However, once the darkness of the night passed, now only one or two people were walking without him knowing their destination.The lights that lit
This time Luca walked on his horse in a relaxed manner, not rushing the horse’s reins. Traveling at night can often be problematic and dangerous with bandits and wild animals around. It's just that he can't easily contain his curiosity.Human curiosity is tireless, but clearly, his physical body isn’t. Luca makes a bonfire with some branches. With some magic items, he can spark a fire and start the burning. The fire would keep him and his horse warm on a cold night."Are you tired after all day carrying me, Ed?" Luca stroked his horse's head and engaged him in conversation as if it were normal. Of course, all he heard in response was a meaningless neighing.Ed is the stallion he's always used since Luca first got him. Given that his chubby body is certainly a little worrying for Ed, at least, that's what Luca feels.Luca had installed the magic items [Absorbing Saddle] and [Saddle Pad of Protection] on Ed's horseback. These two items have a mutual effect, the secret that Ed won't quic
Luca's experience in setting up the campfires can be said to be impressive. Even after the branches have been burned, the ashes and residue can be neatly arranged without scattering everywhere. He also placed some rocks around the fire that they could use to boil water on.When traveling, it is crucial to have sufficient provisions such as food and clean water. Sometimes, they also need warm drinks to maintain their body temperature when things get cold."Why don't you want to tell me what happened at that time?""I have no obligation to that.""I am the fourth son of the Emperor, and I have the right to know the details of the incident which endangered our empire," Luca was still insistent, arguing with the young master.Archie did not deign to share the details of what he experienced, "What the villagers said, that was more than enough material for your report," he concluded.“If that masked figure can bring the Inverse disaster, you are the only key that might provide us with detai
In this world, countless numbers of magic items are scattered. Tools that help humans facilitate and carry out their lives. From simple items to super rare items, from the most common to the most forbidden. Magic items are treasures for those who can maximize their potential. If one awakened a crafting-like class, such as Blacksmith or Alchemist, they could ensure their future life wouldn’t lack in terms of property and wealth. Craftsmen will always be helpful wherever they are. They can create many magic tools and add improvisation to increase the item’s usability value. Alchemists can also uniform various types of buff and debuff potions. These classes are classes that have an essential role in social life. Even fighter-class adventurers will not hesitate to recruit crafting-like classes into their party. Like other fighter-type adventurers, the Craftsman class also requires an ascended class to raise their quality. In another sense, they needed to follow dungeon conquests to col
“Isn't your father home yet?”“Papa? Papa is on guard in the eastern part of the village, will probably be back soon.”Archie walked together toward the little girl's residence, and he felt uneasy after hearing the little girl's explanation.With a small population, guard duty is carried out alternately, and each individual's workload will double to fill the vacancies of participants."Mama, I'm back," said the little girl and ran into the house.While the young master walked as usual from behind because he was carrying two buckets of water, Archie was surprised how a little girl like her could carry a bucket almost the size of her own body."Mama, we broug
A group of bandits called Moneybags is often the subject of much talk by many people. Not only was it rumored that their leader was a former Redcaste-class adventurer, but also rumors that another group called The Clown had joined forces to support this bandit group. With dozens of members, predictably hundreds, Moneybags has succeeded in seizing dungeon treasures that have not been illegally colonized. Although from the other hand, it could be positive since the harmful effects of dungeons didn't spread. These criminal organizations were constantly raiding the areas they crossed. Not a few of their members also have qualified classes in dungeon conquest and infiltration or sneak missions. In gathering information, they will usually spread several members to spy on certain areas before finally attacking. When the news came that a calamity had hit Alian village, this group of bandits moved to spy on the village but weren't having much luck. They saw that there were guards patrolling
Archie awoke to a peculiar and unfamiliar dream, disorientated by the commotion outside. Looking around, he struggled to grasp his surroundings and the situation at hand.Gradually, he realised he was lying on a bed of soft grass, when suddenly a loud noise shattered the silence. It was the voices of the people who had just emerged victorious against three raging demons.He gingerly touched his temple, feeling the tender wound. While he couldn't recall much from the dream, he sensed it had been unnervingly vivid and had left him anxious.Getting up, Archie surveyed his surroundings, taking in the warriors' smiling faces and cheerful chatter. They wore expressions of fulfilment after their triumph over the demons. Archie was relieved to still be alive but overwhelmed by the reality of the situation.
As the group entered the city, they saw that chaos had already begun to unfold. Buildings were on fire, people were screaming and running for their lives, and there were strange creatures roaming the streets. Akhem and Harlequin seemed pleased with the destruction they had caused, but Archie felt a pit in his stomach."What have you done?" he asked, looking at them with horror."We have done what needed to be done," replied Harlequin. "We are bringing change to this world, and sometimes that requires sacrifice."Archie shook his head, unable to comprehend the cruelty of their actions. "This isn't change, it's destruction. Innocent people are dying because of your actions."Akhem chuckled. "Innocent? There is no such thing as innocence in this world. Everyone is guilty of
As the group made their way through the desert, Archie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. The sandstorm had died down, but the air was still thick with dust and it was difficult to see more than a few feet in front of them. Akhem and Harlequin led the way, with Archie following closely behind.Suddenly, Akhem stopped in his tracks, causing Harlequin to bump into him from behind. Archie almost ran into Harlequin as well, but managed to stop just in time. "What's going on?" he asked, confused.Akhem turned to face them, his eyes scanning the horizon. "We're being followed," he said in a low voice."Followed? By who?" asked Harlequin, also looking around."I don't know yet. But we need to keep moving and be cautious," replied Akhem.
Harlequin and Akhem exchanged glances before turning back to Archie, who was still trying to process the information. "We don't expect you to make a decision right now," said Harlequin. "We understand that this is a lot to take in. But we hope that you'll consider it and join us in our cause."Archie remained silent, unsure of what to say. He had always thought of himself as an ordinary person, not someone with the power to change the world. The idea of possessing a grimoire and using it to achieve such a goal was overwhelming.After a few moments of contemplation, Archie spoke up. "I need some time to think about this. It's a big decision, and I can't just jump into it without knowing all the facts.""Of course," said Akhem. "Take all the time you need. But keep in mind that the longer we wait, the more difficult i
As they walked through the crowded streets, Archie couldn't help but notice the fear and anxiety on people's faces. He wondered if it was related to the strange occurrences happening lately.They arrived at the town square, where a large stage had been set up. A man in a white suit was standing on it, addressing the crowd."People of Krakal, I come to you with a message of hope. For too long, we have suffered under the rule of corrupt leaders who care only for their own interests. But I promise you, things are about to change."The man's words were met with mixed reactions from the crowd. Some cheered, while others remained skeptical.Akhem turned to Archie and Harlequin. "That man is dangerous. He's using the people's fear and frustration to gain power."<
As Archie continued to train with Harlequin and Akhem, he began to notice their growing obsession with the idea of changing the world. At first, he didn't think much of it, but as their training progressed, he couldn't ignore the darker undertones in their conversations.One day, while they were resting after a training session, Archie brought up his concerns to Harlequin and Akhem."Guys, I have to be honest with you. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this idea of changing the world. What if we cause more harm than good?" Archie asked.Harlequin and Akhem exchanged a quick glance before turning back to Archie."Archie, we understand your concern, but the world as it is now is flawed. We have the power to change that, to make it a better place for everyone. Don't you wan
The world was in turmoil. Wars ravaged the lands, famine and disease were rampant, and natural disasters were becoming more frequent. In the midst of all this chaos, two individuals emerged with a grand plan to change the world. Their names were Akhem and Harlequin, and they were the leaders of a secretive organization known as The Clowns.Akhem and Harlequin believed that the world was in dire need of a massive transformation, and they knew just the way to achieve it. They had discovered a powerful artifact called The Tree of Elders, which they believed held the key to their grand plan.According to legend, The Tree of Elders was a sentient tree that had existed since the beginning of time. It was said to possess unimaginable power and wisdom, and those who were worthy could gain its favor and wield its power.Akhe
“Like I said before, we just need to buy time until the time limit for summoning these demons runs out.”"How long?""I don't know. It could be days, or even months.”"That's crazy. We can't possibly last that long,” Dannais was frustrated to hear that.Naturally, even though Archie only exaggerated a little, it doesn't mean that the potential for it to happen doesn't exist at all. If the demons existed and survived by absorbing things from this world, then they wouldn't be able to continue to defend against it and the humans would definitely be wiped out in a few days.“I'm just exaggerating. Since I fought them first, they haven't gotten stronger or weakened, it seems my thinking in that direct
The situation at the church had not been much different since Archie had left it some time ago. The bandits and guards were still squabbling and attacking each other while occasionally cooperating when the demons attacked them. Even so, it didn't seem like it would make their fortunes any better.Archie still has a somewhat blurry look in his eyes, the effect of a ritual that somehow he could do. He thought, it seemed that indeed the holy power was intertwined with each other, or, Elashaa Whitehall's body which was empty of holy power, still had traces of being able to receive the holy power from the Grimoire of the Light.Occasionally, and not infrequently, earthquakes still occur wherever they are. Everyone just thought they were facing a natural disaster, but no one would know that this was one of The Clowns' plans.
