Vice Principal Bekor sighed helplessly as he glanced at the two Vice principals seated besides him at the high table. "So, when is the ruinr opening up?" Vice Principal Luke was an impatient man by nature. Not to mention that he currently had his eyes on an artificial ruins that housed an expert's inheritance cave. "In a couple of hours. Be patient alright. It's not like the ruins will run away" Vice Principal Bekor sneered contempously. After a long arguement, the three of them reached an agreement of exploring the artificial ruins after the participants emerged. Unknown to them, Theo was currently taking an ardous test within the inheritance cave. He was currently taking the fourth test. He was standing at the peak of a mountain, screaming like a pig in slaughter as an endless array of lightning bolts lashed him mercilessly. His whole body was battered, with dried blood and charred pieces of flesh. Even his bones were extremely exposed too,'Why did i even join those people to
Theo waited for the barrage of claw attacks to land on him, but nothing happened. Confused, he opened his eyes. He was currently at a mountain peak. How was this possible?! "Congratulations! you have passed the sixth test. Test of Mind" Diego's voice boomed. However this time, there was no reward for passing the test. But, Theo still had a lingering fear in his heart. He passed? and it was all thanks to Izreel. "Uh, how did you do it?" he still felt puzzled. [Brat! you were really careless!] Izreel berated harshly. [Do i have to spell it out to you? those Curpsieys you were fighting were the product of a powerful illusion!] "Illusion?" Theo refused to believe it. He comprehended Illusion principles. If there was an illusion attack, he would've sensed it right? Izreel snorted, as if reading his mind. [That illusion was a powerful one brat. Worst of all, it wasn't even showing one thousendth of it's might. Whoever owns this inheritance cave must have been a big shot at his pe
Theo opened his eyes. After a long sleep, he finally woke up. He was currently in the main area of the inheritance cave. Dried tears could be spotted stream lined on his cheeks. What he experienced in the illusion was so devastating. Not only did he have to survive a chaotic world without the aid of the system, he tasted death ninety nine times. Although it was all an illusion, Theo felt deep fear. What if the system suddenly abandoned him? how would he cope? At that moment, the environment began to warp. Theo found himself in a room that looked like a lab facility. There were various sophisticated looking control panels. Six huge transparent tanks containing a golden liquid were connected to a single test tube. Within it was a Dragon. Yep, a real life dragon in the flesh. The dragon had a pair of mighty horn, thick scales, powerful wings and a long tail. 'Yikes!' The invisible aura the Dragon emitted caused Theo to take a step back in fright. Luckily, the dragon seemed to b
After rounding up the scores, only fifty participants got admitted into Cloudy Peach high school as bonafide grade one students. Those who failed could only grumble, they couldn't go and slap the school authorities for not picking them, right? As for those who passed, they rejoiced amongst themselves. Being a student of a second tier force was a huge honour to them and their families. "Although i knew i would pass, but i never thought it would feel so surreal" Theo mumbled. Not only did he pass, he also obtained a dragon expert's inheritance. It was no wonder they said good things comes in pair. "Congratulations, you are now officially students of Cloudy Peach high school" a male junior instructor came over with smiles. He had slick black hair and stern chin. His instructor name tag read.. One star Junior Instructor Luke. "My name is Instructor Luke. I will be the one leading you all to the area where grade one students reside" Luke informed.After saying this, he began to lead
Ding! The elevator door opened. Theo walked out, holding a paper slip. 'room three' he walked into the winding wide corridor that was brilliantly lit. Surprisingly, he couldn't hear any noise. "Found you!" at his left was a door with the tag.. '3' He pushed open the door and gaped at what he saw. On the huge sofa in the sitting room, a male and a female were making out, while the huge plasma tv was left on. Due to the creaking sound of the door opening, they both jumped out of each other's arms. The female's cheeks went red and hurriedly bent her head, embarrassed. As for the male.. "Yo bud" he winked at Theo. "You are my new roomie? well i didn't expect the school to send a fifteen years old here, but who cares. The younger, the more vibrant!" he grinned at Theo. He had aurburn hair, a lean frame and a sexy boy toy kind of face. But he wasn't the dull omega type male. Instead, he was quite fierce. A trait of a typical alpha male."Uh.. hi" Theo was short of words. And wh
The next day arrived. When Theo woke up, he saw Balogun admiring his reflection on the dressing mirror. Since they were room mates, they naturally had to share a room. Theo's bed was located at the left corner, while Balogun's was located opposite his own. Theo observed the uniform on Balogun. It was a short sleeved brown shirt with a blue tie. A pair of blue pants and black sneakers. On the chest pocket was the badge of Cloudy Peach Academy; A tree with the upper level shrouded in clouds. "Oh? you finally woke up? impressive" Balogun noticed a pair of eyes observing him. "Why? did you spike my drink or something last night?" The previous night, Theo had a dinner of cofee and toast, from Balogun's personal stock. "Why should i?" Balogun sniggered. "It's just that most newbies tend to wake up past ten am. So you waking up at this time is.. well shocking" he explained. Theo glanced at the wall clock and a smirk appeared on his lips."You call waking up by half past eight am surp
Theo carried the tray holding his lunch, towards an unoccupied table. A few minutes later, the rest of the gang joined him. Each holding onto their lunch. "This cafe is pretty active" Theo casually took a glance around. Many students sat with their friends at the same table, thus bringing discussion amongst themselves. It was pretty noisy. "Hm" Randi nodded, shoving a fork filled with spicy noodles into his mouth. Just as Theo wanted to start eating, something cought his attention from the corner of his eye. A female student walked into the cafe from the storage room, pushing another student on wheel chair forward. The female student had aurburn hair, cherry red lips and a seductive but lean physique. She was a beauty. As for the student on wheelchair, her beauty was triple compared with the first one. Although she had a petite body, it made men feel the desire to hold her in their arms and protect her. Naturally, the arrival of these beauties caused quite a stir."Whoa! isn
The whole cafe was thrown into silence. Everybody couldn't comprehend what just happened. A fresher dared disrespect the local tyrant in the form of Dormani, and went scot free? What kind of dog shit luck was that?! Just then, a male instructor walked in, holding a megaphone. He walked to an area where everyone could see him, before placing the megaphone on his lips. "The Academy administration sent me to relay an important news to you student" The instructor took a dramatic pause, scanning the students with his eyes. Just as expected, he had all their attention. Even Theo was looking over. An announcement from the Academy management was bound to be huge. Nobody could ignore it. "The Instructors and Vice Principal Bekor would be going out for exploration. Due to that, there would be no classes for today. Enjoy your day, but remember to be in your hostels before curfew time" saying this, the instructor took his leave.The cafe erupted into cheers. Finally, they were going to hav
After going through a long winding path, the trio finally arrived at a sky reaching castle. Currently, the trio were a stark different to their previous selves. After battling several undead creatures, they were extremely wreary and battered. "What is that castle? is it the last check point in this damn place?" Theo gasped in exasperation as he peered at the tall tower. The tower was pitch black in color, excluding a ghotic air around it. Surrounding the tower was a large wall made out of broken bones and skulls. The gate was extremely antique and left wide ajar. "Be careful. I sense a powerful source of necromancy mana from that tower" Scarlet warned solemnly, taking cautious steps towards the ghotic looking tower, while Theo and Lorraine followed from behind her. When they were a short distance away from the tower, Scarlet fingers weaved through a series of handseals. A black miasma shot out of her nostril, materializing into an Undead Orc.Unlike regular Orc, this one had oil
Rattle. Rattle. The two fearsome Undead swordsmen unsheathed their blades, swinging a sharp blade arc towards Lorraine. "Hmph!" the latter snorted. A white light flashed before her, materializing into the form of a large serpentine creature. Long thin threads shot out of Lorraine's finger tips, boring their way into the neck of the large serpent. "Go!" Lorrain gave a soft flick, causing the puppet Serpent to lash out at the aproaching Undead swordsmen with it's mighty tail. If it's attack landed, the two undead swordsmen would definitely be smashed into meat pauy. "Return!" Scarlet did some swift hand signs, causing the undead swordsmen to vanish into a pue of black miasma. "Girl. You hid yourself quite well" Scarlet forced out a smile. Like Necromancy, there existed another similiar principle.. Puppetery! Puppet Masters were extremely feared due to their ability to control refined puppets. Even the weakest Puppet master could control two puppets simultaneously.They were li
Passing through the bridge made of bones, Theo couldn't help recalling a popular saying in his former world. 'Courting Death!' Yep! he knew this. However, just like Lorraine said, there was no rewards without some risk. Since it was a relic ruins, there was bound to be many good stuffs. "Can you see through the mist?" Lorraine squinted her eyes after they reached the other side, which was shrouded by a dark mist that reeked of death. Activating the Eye of Illusions, Theo was able to see the dark mist clearly. "Careful! there are matrix tags lying around" he cautioned. Matrix tags were special items. Since Runesmasters were extremely rare, that was where matrix tags came into play. It was common knowledge that only runesmasters could draw out runic matrix formations. Matrix tags were special items with a runic matrix formation sealed within. Although it was a one-time use, it was extremely expensive. Counting the number of matrix tags, Theo sucked in a mouthful.Twenty! "Just
The underground cave was unnaturally large, like it was a world of it's own. Along the way, the duo didn't encounter any dangers, causing the previous vigilance they had adopted, to dampen a bit.After two hours of non stop walking, they had to come to a stop. Because ahead of them laid a wide chasm."Now what do we do. It's a dead end!" Theo slapped his forehead in persipation."Strange. Have you noticed an oddity?" Lorraine said as she gravely stared down at the wide chasm."Nope. Did you discover something?" Theo turned towards Her."While we we were covering the distance, i managed to glean out some information from my close observations. The underground cave wasn't formed naturally. It was artificially created"Theo sucked in a mouthful."Artificially created? i can't even begin to imagine what sort of existence would be capable of achieving such a feat"However, Lorraine shook her head."It was collectively created by a group of experts""If my guess is on point, this must be a
"S-Sir, this isn't right no? we clearly helped you beat that Scorpion-Man" Amira smiled, tossing a mana replenishing pill into her mouth without any hesistation. It was obvious she was taking counter measures incase of a conflict erupting. "How do we know if you are not members of the alien race adopting human form?" the second Spartan questioned suspiciously. "We can prove it. Here! i am a member of the Silver Moon Knight guild" Amiqa brought out an identity token. "Telekinesis" the first Spartan who happened to be the leader made a grabbing motion, causing the identitity token to fly into his grip. "Psi magic!" Amira and her group looked at the first Spartan with trepidation. Psi magic principle was an esoteric and rare magic principle. Like RuneMasters and Illusionists they made use of arcane energy. With Psi magic, one could inflict damage on opponent using their mind to deal either physical or mental damage. They were extremely formiddable and were not people to be trifle
When the intermediate rank mages heard these words, their heart sank to rock bottom. Finished! They were finished! "I and Jamaal will try and stall for a bit. Lead the intermediate rankers away to a safe place. We will meet up if fate so wills it" Amira solemnly instructed Nicola who nodded. "Stay safe!" after saying these words, she began leading Theo and the other intermediate rank mages away. Scriii! The Scorpion-Man was displeased when it saw some of it's meal jumping out of the plate. He swung it's sharp tail at the fleeing group. "Your opponent is me!" a bright light flashed as a whip type magic armament appeared in Amira's grip. She flung the whip towards the tail smashing towards Nicola's group. Like a snake on a tree, the whip elongated with bizarre elasticity, wrapping around the tail. Amira gave it a powerful tug, making the tail miss the fleeing group by a few metres. "Scorching Bones!" Amira casted a skill with a stern face.The whip wrapped around the Scorpion-
Theo clicked his tongue in annoyance. Following Izreel's attention, he attempted to bond with the black sword using primal points.-[To proceed recquires 20,000 primal points to bond with item] "Twenty thousand?!" Theo's eye lid twitched. Indeed! there was nothing perfect in this life! He only had a little over hundred primal points. He needed 8000 primal points to experience another level up. Such a large sum was far stretched for the current him. Helpless, he could only stow the black inheritance sword away as he brought out the super grade sachet of pills. He had previously consumed one pill, causing him to level up twice! doing the maths, he managed to amass 10,000 primal points! Staring at the six purple colored pills, he resolutely threw me into his mouth and sat down cross legged. He could feel a powerful wave of energy slam against him. He released a low grunt and bore through the pain. If an outsider saw this, they would be left questioning the essence of life!Just
Nicola continued calling out names. The mages who came out would battle amongst themselves, revealing their skills and techniques. Finally, it was the last round. "Theo an Zeil!" Theo leapt onto the fighting area, sizing up his opponet. Zeil had a fat build with a somewhat naive expression. However, this wasn't enough to make Theo go eary on him. Nicola slammed her mace down, signalling for them to clash. Tap! Tap! Theo struck first, relying on his base speed, he threw a heavy punch towards Zeil. "Iron Skin!" Ding! Theo felt a sting in his knuckles. Relying on the rebound force, he distanced himself from Zeil, whose body was coated with a skin layer of magic iron. Theo face twitched. He was confident in bagging a victory since Zeil was merely at the third level of the intermediate rank. Who would've expected that he would be an earth attribute mage. After having learnt his lesson, Zeil didn't remain passive. He bounded towards Theo, sending an hammer strike towards his bel
"First round. Please if you hear your name, step out. Zaik and Bull" Nicola read from a long paper slip containing about forty something names divided in a meticulous sequence.Beside her were Jamaal and Amira who sat at the judges desk, acting as the judges for the duel.Shortly after her announcement, two mages walked out onto the middle region of the hall. The rest of the mages who came to try out the recruitment watched from the viewers platform from above."Who do you think is going to win?" Jamaal casually asked his colleagues."I'll go for Bull" both women chorused.The two mages stared at each other intensely, their eyes releasing sparks. Bull had a stocky build, wielding a spear with intricate glowing patterns on it's surface.It was obviously a magic armament.As for Zaik, he had a slender figure, reaching just Bull's chest level. Behind his back was a sheathed blade and a clown mask concealed his face."Start!" Nicola pounded a mace on the desk.Fwoosh!Zaik drew out his bl
