"We made it!""No, Oscar. You made it yourself. You worked for it and finally manage to pull it off."Ah, I really did it. My body hurts all over but it is worth it. The formation worked as intended and we successfully put Mason's soul back into his body. Kairi healed him again when we are done so he is really back to life.I finally fixed my mistake of letting my friend die. It will take some time for him to wake up but he will. Ah... I woke up after passing out due to exhaustion earlier but it seems like I still need some time to rest my body.***When I woke up I was underwater. No, this is not water. It's liquid mana. Kairi must have put me here to let me recover quickly. I guess that worked. I feel like almost all of my earlier exhaustion is gone now. I swam out of the lake. When I reached the little shore of the lake I saw Kairi and Izumi sitting somewhere close and chatting with each other."Hey, girls. How long I was out?""A little more than five hours. I had to help your bod
There stood a giant toad with blue skin in front of me. Its big eyes were focused on me. With its height of five or six meters, it was a quite menacing sight for normal humans. But I'm not going to be affected by this."This spirit almost confirms everything. Also, I can see blood-covered cabins. I guess they really were doing human experiments. You are also responsible for the deaths of many people who died because of the explosions that corrupted spirit caused before."I'm not nervous this time. Unlike my prior, battles against spirits or those who are influenced by them, this time I came prepared for anything. I took a deep breath and attacked the spirit with all of my might.***A few hours ago, before Oscar went to Houll Family's mansion."It's been three days since the operation. My energy channels are completely safe to use and they are working really efficiently."I inspected his energy channels with his mana eyes. It's been three days since the ritual and I was making sure ev
My name is Zara Houll and I think I'm about to die if I can't escape this house on time. I'm having this bad feeling since the morning and it just gets worsening as time goes on. I always trust my instincts so I trusted them this time too. I secretly left the mansion just before nightfall. No one will notice my absence for a long time. When there is something interesting and new all of the Houlls are immediately focused on it. Except for me and my little cousin Charlotte.We both were different from the other Houlls while we grow up. We didn't have this obsessive curiosity in our family. And I'm glad about it. When they focus on something they easily forget the world around them. Just like the last couple of days. We decipher the data of Andrew's experiments which I uploaded to our system previously to attract my uncle's attention. James Houll, my uncle, is the current head of our family. We can't disobey him as he controls everything our family has.About three weeks ago I was doing
'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."The basement was in
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
(Zara's POV)Luna Edgar. Someone who owes me a debt. She is also the daughter of one of the strongest families in the Daxhoull. A year ago she asked me for help. To cover something she had done. 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. He looked scared to death whenever I tried to talk to him about this so I stopped before he did something stupid because of his fear.I can't help but remember that night. Luna first called me just before nine. She told me that she needed my help. When I went to the place she told me to, I saw her and s
She kept muttering and the symbols started to change shapes. Their shapes... became twisted... In the middle of the paper, some liquid gathered and outlines of some words started to appear. 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! Are you okay?!""I'm fine. It's just... there is a backlash of failed spells.""Blacklash?""Our witchcraft works with special energy called essence. Essence is the core of a witch. It's their life force and every witch's essence is unique and different from others.""...that sounds like it's coming out of some fantasy novel. But I think I shouldn't be surprised about things like this anymore."One after another supernatural things
"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
