The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 17: Stress
The academy's grand lecture hall was a cacophony of nervous whispers, frantic page-flipping, and the occasional muffled sob. Students sat in clusters, their faces a spectrum of emotions, some pale with panic, others resigned to their fate. The air was thick with the scent of ink, parchment, and the faint aroma of desperation.Cain, however, was blissfully unaware of the chaos. His head rested lazily on his desk, arms folded beneath him like a makeshift pillow. A soft snore escaped his lips, earning a few sideways glances from his peers. To Cain, exams were a distant problem, a future inconvenience he'd deal with… never, if he had his way.Selene sat beside him, her long legs crossed elegantly as she tapped her nails against the desk in a rhythmic, almost hypnotic pattern. Her lips curled into a faint smirk as she glanced at Cain's sleeping form. "Charming," she muttered under her breath.Across the room, Lyra was sharpening a dagger, the metallic *shink-shink* sound cutting through
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 18: A competitor
The lecture hall buzzed with the low hum of students chatting, their voices blending into a monotonous drone. Cain sat slumped in his seat, arms folded across his chest, his head tilted back against the chair. His eyes were half-lidded, heavy with exhaustion. The midterm exams had finally ended, and while he had survived barely, the toll they had taken on his energy reserves was evident. He felt like a deflated balloon, drained of all motivation.At the front of the room, Orion stood with his usual air of smug superiority, his sharp eyes scanning the class. The faint smirk on his lips suggested he was about to drop some kind of bombshell. Cain braced himself, though he couldn't muster the energy to care much."Before we continue," Orion began, his voice cutting through the chatter like a knife, "we have a new addition to our little group. A transfer student. Try not to scare her off."Cain rolled his eyes. Great. Another overachiever to make the rest of us looks bad. He slouched furt
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 19: Results
The lecture hall was packed to the brim, the air thick with nervous energy. Students fidgeted in their seats, their eyes darting toward the front of the room where Orion stood, holding a single sheet of paper. His usual smug grin was wider than ever, a telltale sign that he was about to deliver news that would either thrill or devastate the class.Cain sat slumped in his usual spot, his arms crossed over his chest, his head tilted back as if he were on the verge of falling asleep. His expression was one of utter indifference, though the faint dark circles under his eyes betrayed the toll the midterms had taken on him. He had survived, barely and that was enough for him.Selene, seated beside him, poked his side with a sly grin. "Nervous?" she teased, her voice dripping with mock concern.Cain yawned, not even bothering to look at her. "Nope."I already survived the damn thing. That's enough.Orion cleared his throat dramatically, silencing the murmurs that had begun to ripple throug
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 20: Laziness
The academy gates stood tall and imposing, their iron bars gleaming under the late afternoon sun. Students poured out in a chaotic stream, their chatter filling the air with a mix of excitement and relief. The midterm break had finally arrived, and for most, it was a chance to escape the rigorous demands of academy life. Backpacks slung over shoulders, laughter echoing, and plans for the week being shouted across the courtyard, it was a scene of pure, unbridled freedom.Cain, however, wasn't feeling the same enthusiasm. He lingered near the back of the crowd, his hands stuffed into his pockets, his expression one of mild exhaustion. The week had been grueling, and all he wanted was to collapse into his bed and not move for the next seven days. No assignments, no training, no drama just peace."One week of peace," he muttered under his breath, stretching his arms above his head. His muscles ached from the relentless training sessions, and his mind felt like it had been put through a w
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 21: Misunderstandings
The room was heavy with silence, the kind that pressed down on Cain's shoulders like a physical weight. The air was thick with unspoken accusations, and the tension was palpable. Cain sat on the couch, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands gripping his temples as if he could physically ward off the headache brewing behind his eyes. His dark hair was disheveled, and his usually sharp, calculating gaze was now clouded with frustration. Across from him, Selene, Astra, Lyra, and Ravena sat in a semi-circle, their expressions a mix of amusement, skepticism, and outright judgment.Orion and Zane, meanwhile, leaned against the wall, their smirks unmistakable as they watched the scene unfold. They were clearly enjoying every second of this.Cain finally broke the silence, his voice strained but firm. "Okay. Let's be adults about this."Selene raised a brow, her lips curling into a faint smirk. Her silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her piercing blue eyes bore into Cain with
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 22: Brewing tension
The air inside Cain's house was thick with unspoken tension, a palpable weight that seemed to press down on everyone who crossed the threshold. It had been days since Victoria's unexpected arrival, and the fallout was far from over. Cain sat on the couch in the living room, a book in his hands, though he hadn't turned a page in over an hour. His eyes scanned the same paragraph repeatedly, but the words refused to register. His mind was elsewhere, tangled in the web of drama that Victoria had woven with her mere presence. Across the room, Astra sat in the high backed chair by the fireplace, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her piercing gaze was fixed on Cain, though he refused to meet her eyes. He could feel her stare like a physical force, burning into the side of his face. It wasn't the first time she'd watched him like this, and he doubted it would be the last. But tonight, her silence was particularly unnerving. She hadn't said a word since he'd walked into the room,
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 23: Duel at the festival
Cain was sprawled on the couch, still recovering from the chaos of the last few days. His hair was a mess, his shirt was inside out, and he was pretty sure he'd been wearing the same socks for three days. Life had been… a lot. But just as he was about to drift off into a well-deserved nap, the door slammed open.Astra stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her expression as unimpressed as ever. Behind her, Lyra, Selene, and Ravena loomed like a trio of judgmental angels. "We're going out," Astra declared, her tone leaving no room for argument.Cain blinked, his brain struggling to process the words. "We are?" he asked, his voice cracking slightly.Lyra grinned, plopping down on the couch next to him and ruffling his already disastrous hair. "You need fresh air," she said, her tone far too cheerful for Cain's liking.Selene smirked, leaning against the doorway. "And a change of scenery," she added, her eyes glinting with mischief.Ravena, ever the picture of calm, sipped her tea and d
The Abyssal Tyrant: Overlord’s Awakening Chapter 1: Entrance Exam
Cain woke up with a gasp, his heart pounding like it was trying to escape his chest. For a second, he didn't know where he was. The air smelled like old books and chalk instead of blood and smoke, and the only thing pressing down on him was the weight of his own bad decisions. What the hell was that dream? He blinked, rubbing his temples. The details were already slipping away, but the feeling lingered—something dark, something powerful, something that definitely didn't belong in his very normal, very un-epic life. A loud clack snapped him back to reality. He was sitting at a desk. In a huge, fancy hall. Surrounded by people who looked way too confident for their own good. Oh. Right. The most prestigious school in the world, where the best of the best trained to become legendary mages, warriors, and apparently overachieving nerds. Cain groaned. "Why did I even apply here again?"He wasn't some prodigy. He wasn't even motivated. The only reason he'd taken the entrance exa

Chapter 16: New acquaintance
The newly claimed meeting room of the faction was a spacious, dimly lit chamber tucked away in a secluded corner of the academy. The walls were lined with shelves filled with dusty tomes and strange artefacts, and a large, circular table dominated the centre of the room. Cain sat at the head of the table, slouched in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling as if hoping it would provide him with an escape from the chaos unfolding around him.Selene lounged on a chair beside him, her legs draped over the armrest and a knowing smirk playing on her lips. Lyra sat in the corner, her daggers glinting in the low light as she sharpened them with meticulous precision, her focus entirely on the task at hand. Ravena sat across from Cain, her posture elegant and composed as she sipped tea from a delicate porcelain cup, as though this were an ordinary afternoon social gathering. Valeria stood in the shadows near the door, her arms crossed and her piercing gaze fixed on Cain, silently judging
Chapter 15: Observing
The academy courtyard was bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sun, its golden rays filtering through the leaves of the ancient oak trees that lined the perimeter. The air was warm, carrying the faint scent of blooming flowers and the distant hum of students chatting as they moved between classes. Cain stretched lazily, his arms reaching toward the sky as he let out a long, exaggerated yawn. He was trying to enjoy the rare moment of peace, but the weight of Valeria's gaze bore down on him like a storm cloud on the horizon.She wasn't attacking. Not yet. But her presence was impossible to ignore. Valeria was always there, lurking in the shadows, her piercing eyes fixed on him with an intensity that made his skin crawl. From rooftops, from behind trees, from the darkest corners of the courtyard she watched. Always watching.Cain sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. "Does she think she's subtle?" he muttered under his breath, his voice laced with exasperation.Selene, who
