'It was... easier than I thought.'

Oscar looked at the dissipating corpse of the toad spirit. He first thought that it was going to be another life and death battle but when he tried to measure the amount of mana his opponent has he was surprised. That toad spirit only has a mana amount of an Inferior Class. The only problem was its troublesome ability of it. Being able to release shockwaves and doing it with the entirety of its body was something he didn't expect to face.

He would have easily died because of the shockwaves damaging his internal organs. But thankfully his mana and hex strengthened body was able to withstand the shockwaves. Since the toad didn't have any other abilities he easily killed it by stabbing its core with a water spear. He took the spiritual core that was left from the vanishing corpse.

"It's really unfortunate that all of the people here just died because of the effects of our short battle. I would have liked to interrogate some of them."

    Evelyn took a deep breath. Her legs were shaking. The scene in front of her was both shocking and horrifying for her. There were crimson flames everywhere burning anything in their path. She could also see heavily injured people scattered around. "M-m-monster..." A single word fell from her lips albeit barely. Her eyes were focused on the back of the young boy. He was on his knees and passed out while standing like that. He was also the center and the reason for these crimson flames that can burn everything. She gulped and take a step forward. Her target was the person who was checking on the boy. At her every step her tension grew and eventually, she stopped just a few meters away from both the boy and his grandfather. "M-master..." She called out to the older person. She was still scared of the intensely burning crimson flames around. The older man looked at her with a serious face. The face she always saw was filled with kindness and sincere emotions but now there wasn't any tr

She killed an ordinary high schooler, Nora Crest. It was weird. I didn't understand why she asked for help with something as easy as covering the death of someone ordinary.I soon understand why she asked for help. All of the family heads in the Daxhoull begin searching for one who is responsible for the death of Nora Crest in a panic. Turns out she was related to someone scary enough to make every influential family. I never learned who that person was. My uncle kept refusing to talk about it.

But before anything could happen the paper suddenly turned apart by itself and Luna fell to the ground with a scream."Luna!"I was extremely worried about seeing her fall to the ground. I quickly helped her to the nearby sofa. She seemed to be deathly pale. I couldn't understand what was happening. She was just fine until that paper suddenly torn apart by itself."Luna!

    "Alright, it's time to remodel the cave!"Oscar announced with a loud voice. Izumi, Charlotte, Kairi, and Akane all looked at him with weird expressions on their faces. The gloomy Oscar from a day ago was gone and he was now cheerful. It was weird to see all of them."Has he finally gone crazy, nibi?""Akane! Don't say mean things. He was just having difficult times.""Guys, I can hear you, you know."Oscar released a sigh. He knew why their reaction was like this. Until yesterday he was gloomy because of everything going on. Learning about the government and Houlls' co-operation was a big worry for him. He was thankful for Kairi's previous advice on keeping an ordinary student identity.Keeping himself hidden would allow him freedom but revealing himself was extremely dangerous because he couldn't guess what it could lead to. That unknown factor was scaring him. But he couldn't let his fears control him. He had to ready himself and face them properly. So today he decided to be cheerf

    Because of everything she went through she already closed her heart. She only acts friendly with everyone even though she didn't want to, to not be abandoned by them, to not get left alone and buried in her loneliness, again. Oscar was already nicer to her than anyone she ever come across in the last years. So she didn't want to lose this person and his group.But it was incredibly hard for her to act friendly with everyone, not because they were bad people. But because she was instinctively refusing to open her heart to the others. She couldn't change this. She already tried to open her heart before but she left with disappointment several times by now. She was far too many times betrayed by people she come across since her childhood.'If it's him, maybe... Just maybe things will be different this time...' She wished in her heart. She turned her head away to hide her blushing cheeks. After so long she had a hope to gain a friend and maybe a place she could truly call home. That hope

  • The First Mage On Earth   Clans of the Sanraisu

    "Clans are classified as three separate segments. These are called, Noble Clans, Great Clans, and Big Clans. The clans are divided into these segments according to their numbers and sometimes to their war potential and military power.Noble Clans, have to at least have a number of ten thousand people in their ranks. There are only four noble clans and they were fighting alongside the emperor back in the imperial age. Each noble clan has three great clans they have under its rule. Meaning they were the biggest part of the old military of the Sanraisu.For the Great Clans, it's a bit different. They usually have more than a thousand and less than ten thousand people in their ranks. There is an exception for this. Tsukine Clan. I will explain it a bit later. Anyway, my clan was also part of this segment. Great clans are under the rule of noble clans because in the past some great clans tried to rebel. They have perished at the hands of the noble clans but they still caused heavy damage t

    After Izumi talked about the clans back in her homeland they sat in silence for a while. Oscar took a deep breath and shook the deep thoughts out of his head. He had already a lot of things on his mind but right now wasn't the time to think about these things. "Thank you for telling me everything, Izumi. I'm glad that you feel that you can talk with me. The information about the clans is a lot to process but it helps me a lot. Thanks for the help." Oscar smiled with sincerity at her. He was really glad that he could learn more about the supernatural world. Every bit of information was helping him to understand this new world he found himself in. It was quite different from the ordinary world and he was still struggling to comprehend it. But slowly he could see and understand more of it. He has already faced spirits and people with supernatural abilities. One wrong move and he can find himself in a dire situation. "No problem. You already helped me and it's only natural that I want t

    "There is an unusual amount of Aether in the water. And somehow it was able to mix with mana leaked from my cocoon. Somehow my cocoon ended up inside of that lake. And it caused this weird phenomenon. But this still doesn't explain the Aether inside of it. That's what you told me about the lake, right?""Yeah. I never thought that this was the reason for it."Kairi and I were looking at... a huge crystal that has a person inside. This person... or creature, clearly wasn't a human. She had huge butterfly wings on her back. She seemed to be frozen inside that crystal. She had a nice purple dress made of flower leaves. Don't get me wrong. Those leaves should be at least two meters or a meter long. They can't belong to any plant in this world. Aside from her wings she and her pointy ears she looks just like a human.How did we find this? We followed the shiny green liquid and like twenty meters deep we found this. As for how was able to this shiny liquid could get twenty meters above, it

I think with the help of mana, I can complete it."After school, I returned to our base as usual but the moment I stepped inside, Mason came to me and start talking about his project. It was weird to see him this energetic but I think this is a good sign. It's already several days since he woke up and he was kind of depressed all the time. Maybe he is starting to accept what happened to him and trying to move on. That would be the best for him right now.He always had a bit of a nerdy side to him but to think he was working on a project, I never thought it. People are really surprising."What kind of project are you talking about?""It was mostly theoretical but at its core, it was about distributing, collecting, and even connecting energy from long distances. I had trouble finding a decent source of energy to make it work. On paper, every other energy type I tried had failed. They were either too weak or too strong for it.""Distributing... Connecting...

    Fun for the weekend?

    (Oscar)Jason seemed to be nervous. I don't know what he is exactly thinking but it has to be something to do with Hope. Whenever he seems nervous he often thinks about Hope. Watching him feels both amusing and a bit weird. I guess love really makes people change.We are sitting inside the clubroom right now. It's already after school. Today school was boring as usual. I can't enjoy school as I used to after learning more about the supernatural world but I can't just abandon this life. In the worst case, I can use it as a cover. But still, it's damn boring. Well, the school festival is coming in two weeks' time so I might get the chance to enjoy it. Our club decided to publish a comic book and we have almost finished it."Will you talk already? Watching you this nervous makes me uncomfortable."I said with a bit of irritation in my voice. He keeps fidgeting in his seat for ten minutes already. Anyone would be uncomfortable just sitting near him. I was unfortunately sitting right acros

There was a deadly silence, both inside of the balcony and outside of it. All of the elders and the leader of the coven had serious and grim expressions on their faces. Before the situation could turn into something else Elijah talked."We will announce our decision... ten minutes later. Meanwhile, everyone should take some break."Everyone visibly relaxed after hearing Elder Elijah's words, other elders included. When the attention was lifted from the balcony all of the elders turned to each other. Elijah was once again the first to talk."This will give us ten minutes. We should make a decision.""...I find it hard to make. All of us saw it. She awakened the curse mark and even deactivate it by herself. This should be investigated before we can make any decision.""You are right, Camila. But, most of them don't

Before Hector was announced at the beginning of the third trial, the leader of the coven stand up from her seat. This immediately attacked everyone's attention.Luna furrowed her brows seeing the expression on her mother's face. Almost everyone could only see her expression as nothing but indifference but Luna could read her expression. Eliana was angry. She was going to do something to satiate that anger of hers. This will be definitely something that will make things harder for Luna. And she was absolutely right."...We will use another monster for the third stage. Hector, bring out the convict number 6 and cease that stupid jokes.""!!! Yes, ma'am."That's bad, thought Luna. She knew what her mother meant as the convict number 6 also known as the cold one.

    "Hahaha. She is a promising young witch. If we want to survive in the future we need every young witch we can. We all know the situation on the Sanraisu. There are already many suspicious movements related to the clans reported. They will eventually set their eyes outside of the Sanraisu. They will notice our existence, if not today, a few years later at most. When the troubling times are getting closer, should we really punish our best witch?"Camila furrowed her brows. She knew that Elijah was right. There were big troubles on the horizon. The number of the witches on the earth can't be compared to the clans of the Sanraisu. Also, some of the clans had much more power than most of the covens. So, this was one of the reasons why witch covens scattered around the world and hid from everyone else. To survive.In a possible war against those clans, witches will certainly perish. This was the bitter truth every elder of every coven on earth had to accept. Elder Avery and Elder Layla look

    Luna was waiting in front of the old wooden door. She was inside a room with only a simple chair in it. This was a waiting room. She was in here this room for an hour already. She was waiting for the trial to begin. There was a colosseum-like room behind the old wooden doors.She had to be judged in the trial because of her big failure with her previous spell. She didn't expect her spell to go wrong and cause this. She will have to fight against many opponents and defeat them all to clear this trial. The main purpose of this trial is to prove one's power to defend itself and defeat enemies. All this was that her failure might alert clans and the rest of the supernatural world of their existence. The witches have been in hiding for the last four hundred years and every coven on earth wants to keep it this way.The trial will happen in a reflection dimension. This dimension mirrors the real world and whatever happens inside stays inside. The witches use this dimension to keep their exis

    Concerns for the Future

    (Oscar's POV)Hah... There are a lot of concerning things for the future. Mason just woke up and decide that he wants to join us. Charlotte also chose to join us with him. I wonder when they are going to confess to each other. It is clear that both of them have feelings for each other. Thanks to this I won't need to erase or alter Charlotte's memories. We are still a small team after all. Keeping everyone safe is my utmost priority.After a little bit talk, I sent Mason to rest in the infirmary. It's best that he rest a bit more. Charlotte also went to look after him. It's really cute seeing them together. After they left the main hall, I chatted with Kairi and Izumi for a while. When it started to get late I went home."I'm home, mom.""Welcome back, sweetheart. Dinner is almost ready.""Oh, I'm coming just after changing my clothes."I went up to my room and changed my clothes. Tomorrow there is school and I also have to plan the future of the team. I'm the leader of our team at th

    Mason's Decision

    "Well, you are trying to create a new element. You wouldn't expect it to be easy to achieve. It's something unheard of in the spirit realm. You achieving this much is already an awesome feat.""What can I say, I'm the first mage on earth."I smiled smugly. I am really proud of this nickname. I may have given it to myself but that doesn't matter. The truth is I really am the first mage on this earth. There is no clan that can use mana and does magic. There are bounty hunters who can use mana but they can only use it with the help of magi-tech. And spirits are spirits.After me, Mason would be the second mage. Well, if he doesn't want to be in this world I can't force him. I want him to be with me in this but I can't force this on him. This is something he has to decide of his free will.There are many amazing things on the supernatural side of the world.

    "That's... hard to believe...""I know. I would have a hard time adjusting my mind to these fantastical things if my mind weren't influenced by the mana back then.""What kind of influence you are talking about?""Hmm... It's hard to describe. It's like your body and mind both want to embrace mana and you yourself slowly drifting toward the mana and magic.""That's a little scary.""I know. But mana itself isn't scary. It's just an energy. It's up to you how you use it."I told him everything that happened. How I found him on the verge of death and how he died in my arms. It was embarrassing to talk about it now that he was back to life. But I told him everything anyway. We have known each other for years and I know that I can trust him with anything.He had a difficult time believing everything I told him. I created a small fire in my hand and showed this to him. He was shocked and started to accept things. Seeing supernatural things is always more effective than hearing them from so
