Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 18: The Tryouts
“You made it,” Magnus said, his voice carrying across the courtyard. “Good. Let’s see if you’re as sharp as you seem.”The other recruits turned to size him up, some with curiosity, others with disdain. Talon straightened his back, meeting Magnus’s gaze with quiet resolve.Magnus clapped his hands, drawing the recruits’ attention. “Listen up! The tryouts begin now. The Blue Devils are more than just a team of adventurers—we’re a unit, a family. That means trust and discipline are our cornerstones. Today’s tests will evaluate not only your skills but also your loyalty and your ability to follow orders.”A murmur rippled through the group as Magnus’s words sank in. Talon caught snippets of whispers—words like
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 19: The Blue Devils
Talon watched, breath held, as the boar sent another recruit flying through the air. The unfortunate man’s scream was cut short by a sickening crunch as he landed. Blood painted the grass in a dark, spreading stain, sending a ripple of hesitation through the group. Some recruits staggered back, their resolve crumbling at the sight of the monster’s brutal power.In their eyes, Talon saw the seeds of panic taking root. A few glanced toward the edges of the field, clearly contemplating escape.Talon’s hands tightened on his weapon, his feet itching to turn and run. Jefor’s commands had done little to reassure anyone, the man’s gruff orders seeming more like a death march than a strategy.Then it clicked.Reaching out with his Mind Hunter
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 20: First Mission
The sun had barely risen when Talon arrived at the Blue Devils’ base. The two-story building was an imposing structure just a few streets away from the Adventurers Guild. Its stone façade bore the guild’s emblem—a blue devil’s horned visage encircled by a blazing flame.Inside, the atmosphere was lively. Recruits and seasoned members alike filled the hall, their voices blending into a chaotic hum. Some huddled over maps spread across tables, while others sharpened weapons or adjusted armor.Talon approached the main desk, where a stern-looking woman in leather armor handed him a slip of parchment. “You’re in Team One,” she said briskly, pointing toward a group gathered near the far wall.He nodded and made his way over, his heart skipping slightly as he recognized Magnus standing at the center of the group.Although younger than some of the guild’s elites, Magnus’s presence was still commanding, his azure hair catching the morning light streaming through the windows. Around him were s
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 21: Wyvern Attack
They reached a clearing where the dirt road split into two paths. Magnus raised a hand, signaling for the team to halt.“We’ll split here,” he said, his voice cutting through the rustling leaves. He pointed to Merisa and Orthur. “Take the left trail and scout the area. Look for signs of monster activity—tracks, nests, anything unusual. Talon, you’re with me on the right trail.”Talon nodded, stepping into place beside Magnus as the others dispersed. The forest grew denser as they moved, the light fading into a muted green. The quiet was unnerving, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the distant call of a bird.Magnus tilted his head slightly, his sharp eyes scanning the undergrowth. “Nervous?” he asked, his tone light but probing.Talon hesitated before answering. “A little,” he admitted. “This is my first real mission with a guild.”Magnus chuckled softly. “You’ll get used to it. Everyone feels that way their first time. Just keep your wits about you.”Talon nodded with
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 22: Bounty
The moment Magnus landed, he staggered, his knees dipping slightly as his sword sunk into the frozen earth to steady him. His breaths came in heavy bursts, frost curling from his lips. Though the battle was over, the toll it had taken on his energy reserves was clear.Talon rushed to his side, concern etched across his face. “Are you okay, Captain?”Magnus nodded, his shoulders rising and falling with effort. “Just tired. Nothing a bit of rest won’t fix.” His sharp eyes scanned Talon, searching for injuries. “What about you? Are you hurt?”Talon shifted awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. “Not really. I, uh, wasn’t much help back there.”Magnus’s laugh was soft but carried no judgment. “Your abilities are mental, Talon. It’s only natural that you’re weaker in physical combat. Besides,” he added, sheathing his blade, “that was a Warrior-level monster. Even if it was just at the Preliminary Stage, anyone below the Peak of Awakened wouldn’t stand a chance. You’re still at Prelimi
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 23: Flight from Ironflower
They soon stepped out of the building, with a crowd of adventurers trailing after them. The first person to act was Eren.Fiery crimson orbs materialized around Eren, their heat distorting the air as they rapidly expanded from the size of melons to massive, swirling boulders of flame. Without warning, they detonated in a series of deafening blasts.The ground shook violently, and thick clouds of dust and smoke consumed the street. The shockwaves hurled debris into the air, shattering nearby windows. Screams filled the chaos as panicked citizens fled in all directions.The explosion rippled toward the Adventurer Guild, but the building’s enchanted walls shimmered with protective runes. The runes flared to life, absorbing the blast and shielding the structure from harm.Eren’s face was set in a grim mask as he barked, “Adrian, now!”Adrian didn’t hesitate. His hands hovered near each other, the air between them shimmering like water disturbed by a stone. The ripple expanded outward, a vo
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 24: The Wild Shepherd
The Blue Devils regrouped at the edge of the forest where it opened into a stretch of grasslands. Talon wiped his forehead, the heat from the sun and their trek making the air feel thick. He walked beside Magnus, his steps quickening as they neared the others.The group looked worn. Recruits sat on rocks or leaned against trees, some wrapping bandages around their arms or legs. The tension hung heavy in the air, and the scattered groans of the injured made it clear the mission hadn’t gone smoothly.Merisa waved them over, her twin daggers resting in their sheathes but ready to be drawn at a moment’s notice. “You’re late,” she called out, her voice sharp but teasing.Magnus smirked. “We ran into a little trouble.”“Didn’t we all?” Orthur said, his massive frame slumping against a tree. His armor was scraped and dented, streaks of dried blood on the metal. He wasn’t the only one—several others bore signs of recent battles.Magnus’s expression turned serious. “Status?”Merisa stepped clo
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 25: A Battle of Minds
Talon wasn’t sure what came first: the pack of mutated monsters lunging at them or Jefor stomping the ground, sending a shockwave rippling out in all directions. The ground trembled, and everyone fought to stay on their feet.Rocks and chunks of earth flew into the charging creatures, pelting them, but the effect was minimal. The monsters barely slowed, their glowing eyes locked on the adventurers as they surged forward.Before Talon could even process what was happening, Merisa and Brythan shot toward the monsters like streaks of silver light. As they ran, gleaming armor materialized around them. Merisa’s daggers flashed into her hands, and massive wings unfurled from her back. With a powerful leap, she soared into the air and dove straight into the swarm.Her daggers sliced through the first wave of creatures like a scythe cutting through grass. Each strike she landed caused a ripple of destruction, sending blood spraying from nearby monsters as they staggered and fell. In seconds,

Chapter 44: Securing The Future
Magnus didn’t flinch when the attack hit him. Ash covered his chest, but his smile only grew wider. “Good! You want a fight? Then come on!” he yelled, his voice full of crazy energy.His body shifted, freezing into a solid mass of ice, the kind that looked like it could withstand any blow. He darted back into the dust storm, just as Brythan was thrown out of it. Brythan landed hard, his body twitching and shaking, clearly still reeling from the lightning that had slammed into him during his fight with the goblin.The goblin leader was quick. A ghostly gate opened behind him, pulling him toward it with a strange suction force. But instead of retreating, the goblin shot forward like a bolt of lightning, streaking toward Xara. In the blink of an eye, it slammed a lightning-charged fist straight at her head.
Chapter 43: I Am Rich!
Gren’s voice broke the silence. “There’s a false wall here.” He pointed to a section of the cave wall, his finger steady.Without wasting a second, Jefor stepped forward. His palm shot out, and with a forceful push, the wall shattered, turning into sand. Beyond it, another tunnel appeared.The group didn’t hesitate. They quickly moved into the new passage. The air grew colder as they advanced, and this tunnel looked much older than the last. The walls were jagged and rough, worn down by time. Another ball of fire shot ahead, lighting the way. In less than two minutes, they reached a large cavern.It was massive, about 50 square meters in size. Moss and glowing crystals lit the space, making it look as bright as day.Talon’s eyes locked
Chapter 42: The Empty Cave
Talon and Orthur entered the cave, following the rest of the team. The mental world and the real world—both at once—was one of the best perks for anyone with a Mental-type profession. Not all Mental types could pull it off, but most could.Talon paused after a few steps. Orthur, walking ahead, turned back."Let’s go," he said.Talon shook his head. "I’ll stay behind, to make sure it doesn’t wake up."Orthur raised an eyebrow. "We don’t have time for that. How long do you think you can hold it?"Talon understood what Orthur was asking: how long he could keep fighting the creature in the mental world. He smiled. "As long as it wants."Orthur hesit
Chapter 41: The Grykell
"Xara!" Voices rang out, panic evident as she staggered back, coughing blood from the backlash of her failed attack.She wiped her mouth and gritted her teeth, glaring at the Grykell. Her eyes burned with power, activating her Death Gaze. The monster flinched, its glowing eyes dimming, and a crack appeared in its helmet like a glass splintering under pressure.“It’s too strong,” Xara admitted, her voice tight with frustration. “I can’t finish it off without weakening it first.”The Grykell roared, shaking the ground. A wave of dark energy exploded from its body, sending a gust of icy wind that forced the team to stumble backward.“We’ll handle it,” Orthur said, h
Chapter 40: Cave Hunting
Vaila lay on the altar, staring blankly at the stone ceiling as Janice moved her hands slowly over her body. A soft, bluish light glowed from Janice’s palms, tracing over Vaila like a searchlight uncovering hidden truths.Janice let out a quiet sigh. “It’s worse than I thought,” she murmured, her voice tinged with regret.Vaila turned her head, eyes wide. “So you can’t help me?” Her chest tightened, the faint hope she had clung to starting to crumble. She hadn’t allowed herself to dream of a miracle, but Janice’s earlier confidence had given her a sliver of optimism. Now, it felt like it was slipping away.“I can help,” Janice said, hesitating. “But not as easily as I’d hoped. Your condition is... unique.”Vaila sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the altar. “Unique?” she asked, her voice trembling. “What does that mean?”Janice offered a sympathetic smile, brushing a lock of white hair from Vaila’s face. “It means you’re special. Extremely rare, actually. Your condition stems
Chapter 39: Promises of Riches
“Talia,” Luth called out happily.Talia Silverwing, Vice Captain of the Red Angels and Luth Silverwing’s older sister. She was known as War Angel, and was someone spoken of in the same breath as Selina Featherborne, Magnus Aerendel, and other powerful Warrior level Awakened. Behind her were four other members of the Red Angels, two men and women, each dressed like an adventurer, and each was a popular member of the Red Angel Guild. Luth ran to Talia’s side and quickly explained what was going on, causing Talia to frown in disgust, her colleagues also showed various emotions. “Your Eminence,” Talia stood in front of the opened carriage, facing Bishop Vicenzo face to face. “It seems you have a friend of ours in your retinue, may we take her with us?”Vicenzo had a genial smile at all times, but in her heart, he felt like he was bleeding. ‘Why did this b*tch get involved?’The Silverwings were powerful, apart from being a noble family, their family also had several Warriors, Squires,
Chapter 38: Complications in the Inner City
The winding paths and towering buildings of the inner city left Vaila in awe. She craned her neck to take in the intricate architecture, her crimson eyes sparkling with wonder. “Why are all the houses so tall?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity. Castor walked beside her, chuckling at her amazement. “The inner city’s space has always been limited, and expanding outward is expensive. Instead, the city planners decided to build upward. Most of these structures are older than both of us put together.” “That’s incredible…” Vaila trailed off, staring at the stone facades, each etched with carvings and ornate details. “They’ve also reserved the villas for visiting nobles, ambassadors, and dignitaries,” Castor continued, gesturing toward the luxurious mansions dotting the horizon. “Apart from the Duke’s palace, his family’s estate, and housing for high-ranking officials, almost no one lives here permanently.” As they passed rows of two-story shops, Castor pointed them out. “
Chapter 37: Unwanted Attention
Vaila and Castor made their way back toward the inn, her basket now filled with the few essentials she had managed to buy. The streets were busy as always, with merchants shouting to advertise their goods and children running between stalls, laughter echoing.Suddenly, the sharp crack of a whip cut through the air, followed by a woman’s scream.“Get out of the way, you damn peasants!” A guard’s voice bellowed, full of authority and disdain.The chaos that followed was instant. People scrambled to clear the road as a dozen mounted Holy Knights galloped through the street, their white robes and gleaming steel armor making them impossible to miss. The emblem of rolling hills and wheat ears marked their allegiance to the Holy Mother Church.Though they were called Holy Knights, they weren’t Awakened. They were regular men, hired muscle glorified by the church’s title.Vaila and Castor, caught off guard, were too slow to react. A whip lashed out, narrowly missing Vaila as Castor pushed her
Chapter 36: Unlikely Respite
As the storm raged in the Mental Plane, Talon watched in panic as a fork of lightning arced toward his mind island.“Yes! Yes! Take the Karma!” he shouted desperately, hands shaking.— Processing…The lightning slammed into an invisible barrier above his island and dissolved into harmless sparks.— Karma balance sufficient. Wish granted.A deafening thunderclap shook the entire plane, followed by a blinding golden light slicing through the tsunami surrounding his mind island. Talon shielded his eyes, but through his fingers, he caught glimpses of the surreal figures hidden in the storm—the Neophages. The light touched them, and they dissolved, fleeing or disintegrating in an instant.“What the…?” Talon stammered, lowering his arm.— Neophages eradicated.The sky cleared as the chaotic sea settled. Peace returned to the Mental Plane.A notification popped into his mind, accompanied by the familiar chime:[Notice: -20 Karma. -5000 System Coins.]“What?!” Talon’s jaw dropped. “Coins too?
