Walking to the grand training hall reserved for three-star nobles, I am met by the sight of around 80 students. With the twelve accompanying me, our total comes to 92.“Hey, I'll wait here. Call the other eight, so it rounds up to exactly 100 people. Having an odd number just itches my OCD,” I announce. “I'll give you more time.”Most of them are visibly shocked upon seeing me.“Do you know why you are here?” a particularly arrogant man inquires, his presence commanding as others give him space and hang on his words.“Sure,” I respond confidently. “Even the simplest man could tell from the looks on your faces that you're not thrilled about a starless noble becoming the top rank, stepping over each of your head.”“So you're challenging me to a one-on-one hundred fight in this free-for-all fight, where the loser must surrender everything to the winner, even if death occurs?”“But we'll draft an agreement to avoid any legal troubles should one of us die, right?”The crowd is taken aback,
When I return to the academy, it's already the last study hour. The air is thick with tension, anticipation hanging like a heavy curtain.In the arena, a fierce battle unfolds, a struggle for supremacy among the elite.Mira, embodying the ferocity of a ravenous wolf, clashes with another 3-star noble.Swords clash, ringing through the air, a dance of steel and skill. Mira's every strike is relentless, her opponent's sword bending under the sheer force, his arm trembling, overwhelmed by her might.The noble, outmatched and outclassed, is sent flying from the arena like a ragged doll, discarded and defeated.Mira stands triumphant, her breaths heavy, eyes blazing with an untamed fire.“I wish to continue to fight my upper rank, as I don’t acknowledge they are stronger than me!” Mira's voice booms across the field, her declaration echoing.Now at rank 4 in her class and 35th overall, she is a force to be reckoned with.A rank 3 noble steps forward, contempt in his gaze. “You arrogant foo
"Why do you need access to the Royal bar?" the Princess asked, her brow furrowing in confusion."Don't all nobles have entry to the royal bar?"I respond with a smile, heavy with hidden meanings. "Not me, I'm blacklisted."Her eyes, wide with curiosity and as clear as crystal, fix on me. I could smell her lovely body scent. "Why are you blacklisted?""Because I destroy every bar I visit," I confess, my voice steady."Why?" She probes further, her gaze intense yet innocent.I hesitate, pondering if it's the right moment to confide in her. Rising, I lean closer and whisper, "Wherever your Uncle Bernard extends his influence, I vow to dismantle it."Her eyes widen in shock, and by the time she processes my words, I'm already striding away.Bernard, the King's twin brother, is the mastermind behind the Babel Tragedy, having forged a pact with dark forces to seize the throne.As I walk away, the fading sunset of Babel paints the sky in hues of orange and purple.Mira and Livia are waiting
The first light of dawn crept through the curtains, the morning arrives, and I find myself on a spacious bed with the beautiful Mira by my side, still lost in her slumber.We shared some lovely moments yesterday. Gazing outside, the sunlight bathes the room in a bright, warm glow, signaling a new day.I’m not ready to unveil the truth lurking behind the façade of Babel.In the virtual game I'm immersed in, the tale unfolds: In the kingdom of Babel, the crown traditionally passes to the eldest son.However, the last king had twin sons, delivered through a cesarean operation.By sheer chance, the doctor selected one twin, Adam, to be the heir, relegating his brother Bernard to a life of insignificance.This twist of fate sowed the seeds of resentment in Bernard, who believed that fate was choosing him if by normal birth procedure, he would be born first as he was on the lower part of the womb.However, the doctor conspired against him, choosing Adam to be king by taking him out first.B
I stand in the center of the arena, the ground beneath my feet vibrating with the collective anticipation of the crowd that begins to swell as my video goes viral.They come, eyes wide and mouths agape, hurling curses my way, yet none steps forward to challenge me physically."Do you know why I call you dogs?" I yell at the top of my lungs, my voice echoing against the concrete walls. "Because all of you keep barking but no one's got the guts to bite!""You! Bastard, how dare you call us dogs!" A man from the crowd bellows, his face red with fury."Oops. Sorry, I just realized, you're not dogs. Even dogs dare to bite. You lot are just lower than dogs," I taunt, drawing more ire."I will kill you," the big man screams, rage contorting his features as he jumps into the arena, sword in hand.As he charges at me, I launch a quick strike to his jaw, and he collapses to the ground with a heavy thud, knocked out cold."Alright, for all of you today, you can use any weapon you like. I'll stic
After the video went viral, the babel of media buzzed incessantly. Outsiders from the Academy began flocking to me, each one eager to challenge my newfound fame.Amid the chaos, a fat with luxury clothes man stormed in, his face contorted with fury, eyes blazing with untold wrath.“You!!! How dare you do something like this without telling me! It is totally blasphemy!” he bellowed, his voice echoing through the air. As he rushed to the arena looking at me fiercely.“What?? if you didn’t like it, come here; let me hit you!” I shot back, standing my ground.“Outrage! Blasphemy to the money god!” he continued to yell. “Now you must stop all of this fighting!”“What?” I gasped, taken aback by his audacity.“All of this is supposed to be done in a bigger arena, and I will put the live show on for everyone to see. We can do a 50%:50% split of the profit from the live and advertisements,” he declared, still seething with anger. “How dare you do it for Freee!!!”“What the fuck!” My anger flar
As the enclosed area fills with powder, visibility drops to almost zero.I ignite the largest fireball I can muster and quickly teleport outside the bar. I am certain the flames will ignite the powder, causing a massive explosion.And it really happens, a loud of explosion sound could be heard.The noble bar was once a bustling hub, standing proudly upright.But now, as its foundation crumbles, the entire structure shakes violently. People are rushing out, their faces pale with terror, as they witness the building trembling.From a distance, I secretly activate my earth ability to further destabilize the building, causing it to sway ominously from side to side.The ground beneath it shudders, and soon, everything collapses into a heap of rubble. Fortunately, no one is inside except for the formidable red monster.Suddenly, amid the debris, there is a small movement. A massive red monster with horns struggles to free itself. One horn is broken, as is one of its arms.Around the fallen
At the night, Princess Sophia is kissing me hungrily, taking more life energy from my kiss.“I don’t know, Why Alex, but I keep thinking about you and I know we cannot have sex before my marriage but.” Princess opens her clothes.“If we do it now, you have to promise me you win the tournament, or you and I need to elope.”“Don’t worry. I will win the tournament for you.” I said confidently.“I don’t think I can control this craving of more.” Sophia says and our lips meet, igniting a spark that envelops both Sophia and me in a captivating embrace, leaving her spellbound and me completely absorbed in the moment.Following our intense kiss, I remove my shirt, displaying my chiseled physique complete with defined abs. Sophia admires this, gently tracing her fingers over my muscles, feeling their strength."I've longed for this moment," Sophia whispers softly while biting her lips."And I've always been captivated by your beauty," I reply, helping Sophia with her inner clothes, interspersi
