"So, can this blackening phase of mine even be cured?" Hearing my question, our surroundings became silent once again before I suddenly heard the sword letting out a long sigh.[𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘯𝘰...] He spoke. [𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘴...]When I heard him say his next word, I unconsciously swallowed my saliva as I suddenly felt cold chills running down my spine.[...Is for you to be killed.]Taken aback from his answer, I repeated what he said, turning it into a question. "For me to be killed?..." I asked.Then, with a short pause, the sword answered, [Yes. Slowly, your mind will be corrupted by this 'blackening' until you turned into a psychopathic person who kills however he wants to... or explode.]When I heard this... Welp, I'm screwed.𝘚𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳
An hour later.After walking for quite sometime, Arthur and his companions finally close on reaching their goals. In their little survey, they encountered few monsters on their way that was ranked either G to E.Anyways, there wasn't any noteworthy on their battles since Arthur just easily wiped them out after using his Gravity Magic, [Force Descend], to crush them.*BAM!*A lizard-like monster, that was supposed to be ranked as E, suddenly got crushed down by an unknown force that came from Arthur."Kuiish!!" The monster was condensing a ball of light from his mouth when it suddenly exploded after Arthur forced it to swallow the light before it could even have a chance to release it on them.*Bang!*Seeing the poor monsters that tried to get in their way either get crushed or explode when it tries to attacked them, the three girls behind Arthur couldn't help but let out a bored sigh."You could at least leave some of us earlier, so that we could get a proper warm up," Athena said, st
"It feels like there's nothing in here..." Lumine mumbled as she looked around the foggy area. "Are you sure that some of the students would be right here?" She asked, turning her attention towards Alicia."Yes," Alicia replied. It had been an thirty minutes since they've entered the door to explore and find out if the others were here too. When they first entered the place, the artifact Alicia used earlier suddenly malfunctioned before exploding into pieces.But, thankfully..."Before the artifact got destroyed, I managed to take a glimpse at it and saw three green marked, which was supposed to indicate the location of a person." Saying this, when she was about to turn her head to the side to look around, she saw a faint silhouette that was somehow representing a human figure around the corner."Arthur, there they are," Alicia raised her hands and pointed out to a foggy area. Because of this, the four of them squinted their eyes to look at where she was pointing at.When they finall
"[Ziiiee....!!!]"The monster released a loud shriek from the huge hole below where the crystalized girl is, as it disappeared leaving a few dust from the ceiling.Soon after that, it reappeared in the air with it's claw ready to attack them.Thankfully, they've managed to dodge this because of Leo when he used his mirror crest to open up a mirror portal that teleported them onto another mirror that appeared within the distance.*Claaak-!!*With a loud crashing sound between a metal and a rock, the attack released a tremor that shook the whole place.*Bang!*For a split seconds, it released an strong invisible shockwaves that eventually made their bodies crash into a wall with great speed, and was strong enough to make huge cracks and crater.*-Screech!*Then, after their bodies fell onto the ground, Arthur didn't waste anytime as he got up as he began to spill out lots of blood from his mouth.Looking at his current figure, because he was the one to catch the bodies of his teammates t
[Umm... Arthur?]While Arthur continued to stare at the screen in front of him, the system that was currently up in the air, suddenly spoke making his attention divert back to it."Yes?" Asked Arthur as he clicked on the [X] button to close the Status Screen.He felt that the system wanted to say something, but was worried that he might get angry by her question. So, after pondering for a few seconds, he decided to ask if something was wrong."System, is there something wrong?" Arthur smiled gently. Because of this, it made the system go down in the air until it was right in front of him.[Why are you so desperate on trying to save him... To save Athan...?]Although the system had been with him for God knows how long, it never asked something personal up until now. It was because the system had respected his privacy, and never wanted him to remember something in the past before she met him... And was scared that he will go back to the way he used to be.When Arthur heard the System's
Five minutes ago. (The time where Arthur and his companions are in is faster)"Damnit!" A loud voice echoed in the dark cave.It hasn't been long since 'Athan' got out from the scraped space he cut earlier, he didn't expect that the place he was transported into was in front of a large door near what it seems to be a small abandoned camp.To be more precise, the camp where Arthur and his companions was in earlier."I came late..." 'Athan' said to himself. Then, he raised his head to look at the door with an tired expression.He was about to take his first step when he felt that his body was rather heavy that he almost tripped onto an air."I see... That skill took a lot of my mana, huh..." Sighing, 'Athan' sat down on the rock that was placed in front of him and stared at the campfire silently to take a quick rest."I really need to hurry up." With his finger under his chin, he tried to come up with a solution to his current problem.After pondering for a while, 'Athan' stood up and
'Athan' was about to help the other students not far from his direction when the latter didn't noticed that the black hole from earlier had suddenly shifted back into reality causing an explosion.*Vuuuuu...**Bang!*"?!"It released a shockwave carrying a huge amount of dust while it was on it's way to them.*Kuurk!*Thankfully, the shockwave wasn't strong enough to deal any damage onto it's surroundings as it's strength was only comparable enough on a gust of wind that made his hair including his clothes, to sway.When all the dust had finally cleared up, 'Athan' turned around and walked towards the giant crater, then sighed.Stopping, he said, "What a follow up."Although he said this with a smile, 'Athan' was still sas about his supposedly 'killer move' didn't look like a proper killing move. It ended only with an explosion without the enemy suffering from bleeding or some sort since his enemy was a machine with enhanced physical abilities and few lazer.Contrary to what he had ex
Somewhere in a small black room, where lights couldn't be reflected, a boy on his knees could be seen crying alone."Stop..."He covers his ears using both of his hands and looked down."Don't hate me..."Tears slowly escalated down in his eyes as he shook his body around."It's thanks to me that the world your living is in peace." He said that as more tears fell from his eyes."It's because of me that you people can understand peace.""But why..."He let go of his head and slumped his weakened shoulders down."Why can't you all understand that I've sacrificed my everything for the world?!"He screamed out using his last bit of strength."Why can't you all just appreciate me?"All his life he wanted someone to appreciate him..."Please... thanking me is also fine..."Thank him..."Please stop hating me..."And most of all..."I'm begging you... I don't want to be alone again..."But...Even after all of that... No one listened.He still became...Alone..."He... Hehe... Hehehe!"The
