William woke up with a huge headache. It was the first time he had been this drunk since he had been born into this world. He still underestimated the power of the wines of this world. They had excellent flavor and were definitely higher in alcohol. There were times when he even suspected that they were magical. Because with the strength of his body, a few bottles of wine shouldn't have had much of an effect.

After rubbing his head for a few seconds, he was able to look around. He wasn't at the inn. He was lying in a bed for at least five people. His head was covered with pillows, and the bed was surrounded by silk tulle. It looked like a noble maiden's room. Looking around, William finally realized that he was in the palace. It was probably the room of one of the previous princesses, and William was buried in prosperity like those princesses.

But when he turned his head and looked to his right, the sight he saw was not pleasant at all. At the right end of the bed and

    There was a city built at the foot of a gigantic mountain, surrounded by ramparts as high as the sky, and seemingly illuminated by divine grace from every angle. Thousands of people were selling things, having set up various small booths in the square of this city. The square was so crowded that you might have trouble hearing your own voice. Not only people trying to sell their belongings, but also warriors carrying weapons in various animal skins were trying to bargain for some items in the square.The owner of each booth was careful to resist as much as he could, to sell his item for a higher price when a warrior asked him for something and tried to negotiate. There was a gigantic statue in this square where thousands of people lived. The statue was kneeling, stabbing a dragon-like creature with his sword. The sword had entered the middle of the dragon's neck. It was so detailed that even a few drops of tears leaking from the dying dragon's eyes were shown.It was no

    When Leslie opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, empty room. Bandages were wrapped around his waist and healing ointments were applied. After his battle with William, all he remembered was that when he turns his back, a sword entered him around his waist and pinned him to the wall.He was ashamed. Even if it meant dying, he had to go all the way for taking it this long. 'I should never have turned my back.' How would his friends look at him now? What would they say to him? Would they tease, or would they cut off their friendship? As such thoughts took over his mind, the look in his eyes grew dull. Everything was deleted in an instant. It was as if someone had come and cleansed his soul from head to toe. Now he only had one thought. That was 'Getting stronger.'Despite his aching back, he got out of bed without frowning. His dimensional bag was with him. He quickly put on an outfit and went outside. A young girl was sitting behind a desk in front of the door. S

  • It All Started With Lightning   Back to the Academy

    It was noon when William reached the academy. He gave a good yawn after handing over his Ruby Horse to the stableman. Being on a horse for a long time tired him out. He felt that even his bones were intertwined. He saw that the academy was utterly empty. He could only see occasional students in the main buildings. As a result of the war, many of the students wanted to return and control the family business for a while, which was understandable. William thought it would take about a week. Afterward, students would necessarily return to the academy. Otherwise, it would be against the new rules of the academy.William had a few things to do for now. Although he was tired, he had to visit him, so he chose to go to Baldur first. He was wondering about his friend whom he had not seen for a long time. He wanted to know if he was successful in his advancement.When he got to Baldur's Villa, he knocked on the door and waited patiently. Shortly after, footsteps were heard from i

  • It All Started With Lightning   Reuniting With the Sneaky B*stard

    After William left Baldur's Villa, he went straight to the cafeteria. Fortunately, it was empty. He didn't expect anyone to be there at this hour. He thought that Merlon might have returned with the news of the victory. Although he had said that he would take her with him on his return, he had forgotten in his haste. Moreover, even if he did, it would be nothing but a burden. 'It's better this way.' he thought.After getting himself a nice meal, he went straight to the cultivation building. Here, under the disturbingly concerned gaze of the beautiful teacher, he rented a room. He would not meditate yet, as the spiritual energy here was too low for him. He was already thinking of leaving in the first light of the morning. The main purpose of his coming here was to perfect his techniques. Before he became a bronze level, he aimed to use these techniques better. After all, these techniques were all named after him, and it was his fault if he didn't master them. One day was not e

  • It All Started With Lightning   Adventure with Baldur

    William didn't get much sleep after a good meal. Instead, he chose to train his movement technique inside the cave. With each use, he felt that the technique was growing more and more in harmony with himself.This technique also worked just like the execution sword, but the fire element it used was less. The fire element he drew around him was only one-tenth of it. Moreover, it could not be used if there was no fire element in the surroundings. He would not draw the fire element from the body. This technique was weak in some areas just because of this. It wasn't much of a problem for now, but if he used this technique in an area like a volcano, he could feel that both his speed and his burning power would increase exponentially. From here on, the disadvantage of each element began to show itself.For example, what's the point of using this technique in a volcanic territory? The creatures that were there, that he was going to fight, were already accustomed to that terri

  • It All Started With Lightning   Tough Battle

    Comrade and William sprinted at full speed towards the bronze-level worms that were coming towards them. The Comrade had chosen the stronger one before William and had gone straight to him. He knew that William was still at the iron level and did not want to endanger him.William realized, albeit late, that the worm from which Comrade was rushed was stronger. He frowned for a moment but decided that it didn't matter to him. After killing this early bronze-level worm, he would still have time to help Comrade.When William reached the last fifty meters, he activated his bloodline power and movement technique. As in the previous one, he moved to kill quickly, using all his strength in one go.However, just as he was about to attack, he encountered an attack he had never seen before. These bronze rank creatures naturally had some intelligence and had learned their lessons from the three iron rank friends who had just died. Two Gigantic worms were standing side by si

  • It All Started With Lightning   RUN!

    After a few minutes, William felt he could use his legs now and stood up. The previous stabbing sensation and great numbness had slightly healed. He thought it would be okay for him to move for now.Baldur was still quickly changing barrels. He was constantly removing the filled ones and placing the empty ones.These two worms had become extremely tough rivals for them. These two bronze-rank worms seemed to know how to use their bloodline power and were skilled at it. Not only that, the two collaborated well and shared their talents with each other, just as Arthur and his students did. The conclusion to be drawn from this was that they should have been more careful in the future.He also thought about it while he was recovering. Some creatures had magic-style things they could do even before reaching a certain level. Examples would be the Fire Swallow and the Sand Snake, which live in the warm parts of the island. These fire swallows, at the bronze level, could

    The pack of wolves brought the trio into the valley of the wolves. By now Comrade and William had a little more rest. Baldur was already in good condition.The moment the silver rank wolf knocked Baldur off his back in front of the cave, he quickly fled. He probably went to rest. He kept swearing to himself that he would never help this fat man again.The trio arrived at the cave that William had previously used. Here, William also saw the ruby horse. It was still trembling in the corner of the cave.William told Baldur he needed to rest. He had to be at his best. Baldur did not refuse. He agreed, and after seeing the darkening air, he began to rekindle the campfire inside the cave that William had lit earlier. He then removed several pieces of meat from his dimensional piece. These few pieces of meat were more than the deer William and Comrade had eaten together.Meanwhile, William and Comrade were also hungry. They joined him at dinner. Then they contin

    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

    Doravoli's Charisma 2

    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

    "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
