William minded his own business, knowing he couldn't bother the little wolf before the academy competition. Within a few minutes, eight bronze rank wolves had arrived at the cave where the cocoon was located. They were all wolves who had been on the hunt yesterday, who had not participated in the bloodletting ceremony.

He quickly took their blood from them. When he combined it, he had exactly three small lineage crystals in his hand.

Reyis seemed to have more or less understood the merging ratio from his movements and blood. Otherwise, why send eight wolves? William had no problem trusting the old wolf. His grandson became his companion thereafter.

Moreover, the moon-swallowing wolf bloodline was stronger. Now, when he stood in front of Reyis, he did not feel the slightest fear. He could even see that the other wolves in the pack were looking at him with respect. He could feel a great deal of envy, especially in the eyes of the silver rank ones.

Then he r

    As soon as William returned, he thought he should celebrate happy events even though he wasn't very hungry, so he ordered himself three soul stones worth of food.Luckily, Merlon sat alone, depressed, across from him.“William, what makes you so happy?” William's mouth was almost to his ears, so he was depressed that he was so happy."Why? Do you need a reason to be happy?” William asked, raising an eyebrow.“No, though you have good reasons to be happy.”“What are those reasons that even I don't know about? Take the beans out of your mouth, Merlon.” William became even more suspicious. He thought from Merlon's depressed state that perhaps he might know about the war outside.“William, don't play the fool. How you could not know?" Merlon leaned forward and asked in surprise.William put the fork and knife on the table and spoke again. This time it was more dominant.“If I sa

    After finishing the movement technique, metal skin was next. He had only used this ability once or twice since receiving it. Its restrictive effect was indeed great. Although his defense was strong, it was not very practical as it slowed his movement.William couldn't find any other technique to counteract this technique's negative effect on movement speed. So he decided to go all the way forward. He would turn this technique into something that gave an impenetrable defense.For this, “Mirror Body.” “Gold on the mountain.” “Surtur's skin.” He chose the techniques of “Unshakable determination” and “Fixed pontoon”. These techniques would give William excellent defense and the power to reflect elemental damage, especially when standing still. If he moved, his defensive power would of course be less than half, but even then, it would be better than his current defense.He liked the job of reflecting element

    When William returned to the cultivation room, he kept the doors closed for a long time. He trained until he could use each technique perfectly. Moreover, after the meditation technique was completed, he gave his name again. “William's meditation.” This technique could truly be one of the best meditation techniques ever. He could even go further in his thoughts and claim that he was the only one on this 'small' island.The current meditation speed was tens of times faster than the old meditation speed. He had filled his body, which had felt empty since gaining his bloodline power, in a few days by renting the metal cultivation room. It didn't even need a metal heart! His body had now turned from black iron to a higher quality metal. Or so he felt.Finally, that day has come. Handing the key to the teacher, he left the cultivation building.The teacher watched her back thoughtfully. He felt that even though he was silver rank, he couldn't see inside t

    William had to endure boring battles for a long time after the first fight. He couldn't even understand how they could kill creatures. All of them were fighting, giving importance to poise, charisma, and nobility. In particular, he had seen a few noble-type youths wielding swords. They even bowed to each other!He's constantly thinking, 'Boring, boring, boring, this is boring, this is boring.' He was thinking.At one point he had fallen asleep without realizing it.With the headmaster's attention on William for so long, he saw him fall asleep from boredom.He knew this brat was strong, but he's napping in the arena had of course angered him. Yet there was nothing he could do. He feared that warning her in public would hurt her pride.William woke up after a while. This is because the teacher said, “Number 66 and number 339!” he had shouted.number 66 was the number on Merlon's chest, and he awoke.William tapped him on the

    At the time of the fresh blood contest, in the capital of the jade wind kingdom, an army of thousands, beside the red banners, was staring in the direction of the capital with sharp eyes, completely silent.In front of this army stood seven men. On their horses, they were extremely quiet and calm. There was no worry or fear on their faces. They looked extremely honest, upright, and brave.Twenty meters in front of these seven people, there were seventy stakes. They were all lined up ten meters apart. A head hung above them all. These were the heads of the resisting nobles. Some of them had been cut off for a long time and started to rot and became worms. Above heads, red fluffy crows circled the sky. The smell of blood had drawn them in.Twenty meters from the seventy piles, there were seven more piles. These seven piles also had heads on their ends. But unlike the others, although these heads had different facial features, you could tell they were descended fro

    When William heard that he would be the first to fight, he immediately stood up. The sooner today ends, the better. He had to leave early for his later business.He quickly stepped into the arena, not choosing any weapon for himself. He stood on the little circle and watched Leylin idly walking towards him.'What is this boy doing? Is he trying to exert psychological pressure?' He had seen the glint of intelligence in Leylin's eyes. His slanted eyes gave the impression that he was a snake. Like a poisonous snake, he was not in a hurry to hunt, he was trying to catch the right time.He was sure that if William had a watch on his wrist right now, he would be staring at him constantly. He looked up at the sky for a few seconds. He saw Leylin just take a step up the stairs.He couldn't take it anymore and shouted, accumulating qi in his mouth.“Get your damn ass here!”The entire arena was filled with the sound of the crowd, but hear

    He awoke from his meditation early the next day. Then, vigorously and energetically, he made his way to the cafeteria. Everyone in the cafeteria was staring at him with glowing eyes. He hardly knew any of them, but still, people greeted him respectfully as they passed him. Sitting alone at his table, William began his meal with a smile on his face.He found it pleasant to be greeted with respect by those around him. Such behavior confirmed his previous thinking. Indeed, power meant everything. He was sure that if he was one of the first to be eliminated from the competition, he would be teased and ostracized.Later, he threw these thoughts into the depths of his mind and began to eat his special milk and meat, which he bought for three soul stones, for breakfast.Halfway through the meal, a familiar face sat across from him. It was Merlon, and he had a different expression on his face again. Today, it seems, the day started with bad news again. He was already us

    In this conversation with the principal, William understood that he could no longer be the principal's student.Still, he didn't mind. If there was a method out there, he could certainly apply it and become stronger. What's more, he also had a wacky power, just like the bloodline power they didn't have. Ideas about the uses of his power were constantly swirling in his mind, but he had not yet found the time to put them into practice.Finally, when the sun was up, he thought it was time and started walking towards the arena, putting his guitar in his dimensional bag.Along the way, other students around him were gossiping, pointing at him. Since the majority respected his strength, he greeted with a sincere smile. In his mind, he had the prize of the competition.He felt that this reward was too little. Of course, it was just for him. The other was considered a great reward for students who spent weeks on a task. He was so rich right now that he could prov

    William didn't notice, but even his posture began to change. Now his chest was further forward and, most importantly, his nose was a little higher in the air. With his height, he began to look down on people.Worst of all, William didn't even realize it. Arrogance was slowly seeping into his blood, taking over his body without him wanting it. Since William was not aware of it for the time being, he entered the main hall of the mansion, thinking that he would show his usual behavior.He was wrong, as he thought he would only meet the City Lord. There were more than ten people in the room, and they were all sitting quietly in their seats, discussing something passionately. As soon as William and Doravoli entered the hall, the woman sitting at the front raised her hand and everyone suddenly fell silent.Then the woman stood and smiled.William recognized the woman. She was one of the three people who had helped him survive the attack of the mysterious bandit mage and complete his mission

    Doravoli's Charisma 3

    William was watching the bedroom of a house five hundred meters away from the roof of a two-story house. His eyes and face could not be seen in the darkness of the night. But a person standing next to him might have the impression that William was deep in thought.Strangely enough, William wasn't thinking about anything at that moment. It was as if there was a black hole in the bedroom of the house he was watching, and it was sweeping everything away, including William's gaze and thoughts.William felt lifeless right now, like a rock with no IQ.'How did this happen?' William had been on this roof for two hours and had asked himself the same question hundreds of times.Doravoli and Elasha for a few minutes, thinking they would leave after a farewell kiss, but he had listened to the lustful voices of the duo for two hours.'How did this happen?' At first, everything was normal. There was no conversation that contained any suggestive hints. These were normal everyday conversations and s

    Elasha thought this was the most boring day of her life. Following his sister's agreement, she was forced to come to Valimar and open new trade routes to several surrounding cities and towns. Opening these trade routes was never easy, as Valimar and the surrounding cities were surrounded by incredibly dense forests. Cutting down these trees and establishing observation points and crossing points were time-consuming tasks. And the hardest part was finding apprentice mages to work at these points.Nevertheless, she succeeded as usual because she was surrounded by hardworking people. Everyone loved her and her sister, except for a few people who didn't care much about money. If they did their job right, money would automatically fill their pockets.Meeting Enid had been a bit eventful. At first, she wanted to refuse Elura's deal, but Enid and Elura's plans gave her enough reason to be convinced.Elura had started making plans as soon as Elasha had left the White City to start the purific

    "Then we agreed. I'll get you the best flame I can find. But first I have to find it, you know they are very rare." William smiled and packed up the camp. They had spent enough time here.Just as they were about to start their journey deep into the forest after packing up the camp, William felt a vibration from his dimensional bag. He immediately took the vibrating device out of his dimensional bag.It was the seal of the Expedition Organization, and it contained a message from Fabian.[Go to Valimar. Find Enid, the City Lord. She will explain everything to you].William's face darkened. Valimar had not left him with good memories. Elura named woman had been a real nuisance to him, and while he had forgotten that story, taking on a mission like this spoiled his mood.Frankly, he wanted to relax in the White City for a few months. His journey had improved him enough, and he was ready to make another breakthrough at any moment. Of course, the most important problem on his mind was Dorav

    Happy Days

    "Have you finally woken up?" Doravoli looked at the weak William lying in the shadow of the rock. He had a sad, tearful expression on his face. He was sitting across from William, gnawing at the flesh of a small creature. It was a small lizard.He had a bandage on his cut foot.William felt more tired than ever, but when he discovered that he could move his hands with a snap of his fingers and a little bit of mana, he pulled hundreds of useful items from his ring. Most of these items were healing potions and blood crystals.He spoke with difficulty, as even the movement of his jaw was painful. "Blood crystals, put some in my mouth."Doravoli was also very tired. He even hunted down the small lizard he had gnawed, using his magic only because the lizard was too close. He waved his hand and, controlling his mana, took some of the blood crystals and brought them to William's mouth. Then he used some himself.Half an hour later, William regained some consciousness. He could move a little

    The First Blow, The First Regret, The First Pain and Where It All Begins 1

    "Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi

    "No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will fight together." Doravoli heard everything that was said and realized that this man was after William. Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly. William knew this was the perfect moment to attack, but he held back, for soon the man straightened his body and showed his old smile again.He rai

    "Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood. Doravoli, if you want to do something of quality and worthy o

    Return Journey

    The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
