The Successor System The Silvers Residence
After a few hours of resting, he regained a decent amount of energy, so he decided to go meet his father. ‘What would you have done if she confessed her feelings?’ his guide asked.“Why bring that up now?” He stood up from his bed which pleasingly didn’t lose out to that in the mansion.‘Because I thought you would’ve brought it up, so I waited. Only to be reminded how boring you are,' her voice was laced with disappointment.“I doubt that I’m boring. Maybe you’re the one with the problem here and as for your question. Hmmm……..” he gave it some thought. “Since she’s been sincerely helping me out since I got here, I would have avoided giving her a direct answer.” ‘You see. Boring,' she let out a sigh.After quickly freshening up, he walked out of his room into the hallway. Even though this was his first time being here, he already knew where he needed to go and how to get there.His room was at the end of the hallway and there weren’t any other doors showing that he was the only one
The Successor System Over Powered Dad and Mana Skills
“Dad, it’s good to see you,” Art voiced out and silence reigned for the next one minute.“Arty!” His father exclaimed giving him a big hug. Somehow, his father covered the distance between them in an instant.“I missed you so much. I told you that you didn’t need to go for that training but you’ve always been stubborn,” his father sobbed.Art didn’t resist the hug, he knew that this was going to happen and resistance was futile.His father finally broke the hug and stared at him. “I don’t know what to say about your recovery. You don’t know how happy I am. Remember when we played that little game? What was it you told me again…..” his father seemed to be trying hard to remember. “That you would bare witness to the day I surpass you.” Art knew it, this was a test to see if he was actually the one.There was no way anyone else would know what they discussed that day and the memory was put under some sort of seal making it almost impossible for telepaths to gain that information.What
The Successor System Beautiful Scenery
Art was seated on the bed of his room with a big smile while looking at the things also laying with him which had just been delivered.They were orb shaped with different colours.Yes, these were E and F-rank mana cores.This was the first request he made to his father. He was still lacking magically than them and from using attributes to controlling his true weapon, he needed to improve.So he asked his father for a mixture of E and F-rank mana cores numbering up to a hundred.If he was to ask for D-rank cores or more than that amount, he would be forced to state his reason for needing them and even his father would look at him differently if he found out that he could drain mana from objects. Besides, from what his guide had told him, he doubted that he would be able to drain from anything D-rank and above. He would be using this for now.With a thought, his status appeared before him.

The Successor System Arriving at the Royal Academy
Three days went quickly and Art made the most he could out of it. At this point, he had drained mana from half of the mana cores he had received from his father. So his mana points had tripled.They were to leave for the Royal Academy today, so he had a few pieces of luggage with him.This was just for show as he could put all his belongings in his inventory, but it would be suspicious if he just went empty-handed and suddenly brought out things that weren’t provided by the school without having a spatial ring.Spatial storage devices were also present in this world but his inventory was still better.They were to head to a part of the building which contained teleportation circles used to go in and out of the mansion and he was sure to see familiar faces.The location wasn’t too far away from his room, so it only took him about 20 minutes to arrive.He walked into the large room which had multiple teleportation circles. Some teleportation circles which were for general use could be
The Successor System A Suicide Quest and Observing more
At first, he thought that his system was trying to make him the valedictorian, which he didn’t mind because if he worked hard like any other normal student he could achieve it.But then he realized something.His quest didn’t tell him to become the strongest student, it was to become the strongest mage.So within these 8 months, he was expected to surpass both students and staff alike which includes final years, professors, guards, etc.He looked below.[Punishment: ???]This was written in blood read, so it was either death or something close to it.Art couldn’t help but let out a bitter chuckle.‘System, you’re trying to kill me right? And my dear guide, what do you have to say about this?’[…………]‘............’‘So that’s how it is huh?’ he shook his head before focusing on the task at hand.He exited the large hall and when his gaze fell on the outside of the academy, he was pleased.“As expected from the Royal Academy.”The environment was beautified with plants like shrubs and g
The Successor System Gaining Information and a White Feather
The boy looked to be about 13 years old and just by first glance anyone could tell that he was sick but something about his sickness seemed familiar.“Is he family?”The old woman looked at the boy before answering. "Not really. I found him lying on the street and decided to take him in.”“And he’s been with his sickness since you found him?” “Yes.”“How long has that been?”“A little over a year.”After hearing her last reply he walked closer to the boy, kneeling beside him.The house wasn’t big in the first place with the total amount of rooms being just 3 and there weren’t doors covering the rooms except for the main entrance which was why he sighted the boy immediately after stepping in.She watched as Art began to observe him and after some minutes he came up with several theories but the most plausible was that this boy had a similar sickness to the kind he previously had.Art’s sickness was that his core was too strong for his normal body, so it ended up eating his body away
The Successor System Welcome Speech and Announcement
It took him 15 minutes to get back with only 7 minutes left before the welcome announcement.It was going to be held in the large hall which he stood in front of and after walking in over a thousand seats came into view along with the large stage in front of them.Many people were already present, some had begun familiarizing themselves with others. He quietly walked to a seat that had fewer people around before taking it. ‘Two minutes left,' he closed his eyes thinking more about the old woman and the strange white feather. She didn’t give him much to go on with and he was hesitant on collecting the feather, but his curiosity got the better of him and now it ended up in his inventory.He decided to research more about it later but he would have to do it carefully because there was still a lot of mystery behind it. When he used his inspect skill on it, the feather was a B-rank artifact which was high and powerful but he doubted that it would cause a lot of people to come after him
The Successor System Lilac Ice Queen
Since the boys and girls section were at different areas he had to separate from Iris.The bracelet worked similarly to the one given to them during the contest so he headed towards the building his room was located.On his way there he sighted two people meters away in a hot argument and it seemed that words weren’t satisfying them any longer.“So soon. I guess things are going to get very…. Exciting here.” Art muttered.There were some onlookers but he wasn’t planning on wasting time here as he needed to read that rule and guidebook urgently to get a better grasp of the situation.“What the hell did you say?!” one of the boys in the argument with brown hair roared.“I thought the only thing pea-sized was your core but now I see your brain isn’t left out,” the other jeered loudly and not being able to take it any longer the brown-haired boy punched out but that was not all, as a stream of flame shot out from his hand.The other boy dodged the flames and now it was headed for a certai

Mind Fortitude Test
"You just need to pass through and walk to the end of the passage. Feel free to go through at your own pace," the man gestured smoothly with his final statement.For the first few seconds, nobody moved. They all simply kept staring at the doorway. All with similar thoughts. Everyone was cautious and wary*Step**Step**Step*Breaking the silence, the young man with long sky-blue hair began walking forward. His calm, dignified air was almost tangible, a quiet confidence clinging to him as he advanced toward the doorway.Whether it was due to superiority in age, experience, or sheer faith in his abilities, no one could quite tell what gave him such poise."Bunch of cowards," came a scoffing voice as another contestant, a girl with short, straight red hair from the Vampir family, strode out as well, her sharp eyes sweeping across the frozen crowd.The blue-haired young man was the first to pass through. All eyes sharpened, watching to notice the slightest hint or change.As he passed, it
Strang Masked Figure
Everyone’s attention was fixed on the person who had just entered.A black and silver mask covered his face, revealing only his bright yellow eyes. The figure walked forward slowly, his presence impossible to ignore.Not only his face but most of his body was concealed beneath a thick, flowing cloak.Most people had already assumed he was male—and they were right.A strange and mysterious aura radiated from him.It wasn’t the most formidable presence so far, but it was certainly one of the most notable.The light-blue-haired guy, along with other prominent individuals, glanced at him briefly before returning to what they were doing.He could feel the weight of the stares on him, which meant his plan to make a strong first impression had succeeded.Art smiled inwardly as his gaze swept across the room, eventually finding a suitable spot. He made his way there and sat down.He was buzzing with excitement, like a twelve-year-old about to open birthday presents.He hadn’t had any chance t
The Grand Magus Test
Hurried footsteps echoed through a corridor, each one a sharp reminder of how much still needed to be done.The footsteps belonged to a man who barely registered the sound. His mind was far too preoccupied, and his body showed clear signs of exhaustion. As he moved, clipboards levitated around him. With a pen in hand, he scribbled quickly on the one before him, handing it to the assistant trailing behind—who was already weighed down with stacks of papers and documents—before grabbing another. Over and over, he repeated the process.One clipboard reported incomplete formations. Another flagged a lack of security in the northwest. This man was the event overseer of the Grand Magus Test. Today was shaping up to be one of the busiest days of his life.The Grand Magus Test was held every two years, and he had already made the usual preparations.But yesterday, everything changed.Word arrived that, instead of sending representatives, the leaders of the top three guilds were attending in
S-rank Artifact
Garron walked into a smaller door within the room.Art assumed it must be where he kept his most valuable items, as strong waves of mana surged out the moment the door opened—only to weaken once Garron stepped inside. Some kind of safety mechanism, most likely.Garron returned about a minute later, a box in hand.Art's gaze locked onto it.This time, the box was pitch black. Strangely, he couldn’t sense anything from it—but he waited patiently.Garron placed it on a smaller table near the edge of the room."Here. Open it."This was his first high-end project since the death of Rena, the former Third Sword.During its creation, he’d realized just how rusty he’d become over the five years without practice.He’d needed to pause at a crucial point in the crafting process and hone his skills on lesser works before returning to the mask. The knowledge he’d begun to grasp from the book Art had given him made a noticeable difference.Much of the ancient information on craftsmanship and alchem
Formed Pact
"How did he find out?" Art mumbled while chewing on a fruit. Garron had seen right through him before leaving—clearly, a man who'd dealt with plenty of children and teenagers in his life.Night had fallen, and the synchronized chorus of insects performed a gentle orchestral hum across the forest.Art was currently lying on the thick branch of a large tree, his gaze fixed on the dark sky overhead.This tree would serve as his home for the night, as he had decided not to return to Yuh’s family house. At this point, there wasn’t much reason to go back.Maybe they were expecting him tonight, which, disappointing them on his part, wasn’t great—but sometimes, plans got ruined by circumstance.After everything he had learned, wandering around—especially at night—wouldn’t be the safest move for him anymore.He stared down at the fruit in his hand, his expression shifting into a frown. Not long ago, he was indulging in mouth-watering meals and warm beds. Now, he was stuck with fruit.Sure, he
A ticket to revenge
"I'm sorry for your loss. But I think you're making a mistake," Art said firmly. "You decided to throw your talent away because she was killed? Isn't that the same as letting her killer go free?"Garron's face dropped. "You never justified her death. Her killer must be out there, living quite the life.""You think I'm okay with that? There’s nothing I can do!" Garron burst out in a mix of sadness and frustration. "Trying to get revenge would only lead to more death.""And why is that?" Art pressed.Garron let out a sigh. "That armor I made for her, along with the artifacts, were the best I could produce. If her opponent destroyed even those... then anything else I make would be useless.""So, let me get this straight. You stopped crafting because you feel guilty for causing Jira's mother’s death, and you think your skills aren’t good enough to help bring her killer to justice?"Seeing no response, Art shook his head in disappointment. "So if there was a chance to help get rid of the
Wasting potential
Art navigated more carefully as he searched for the blacksmith.He couldn’t afford to reveal his identity. He paid close attention to his surroundings, making sure he wasn’t being followed.So far, nothing seemed out of place.But he knew his abilities in the outside world still weren’t sharp enough to trust completely.It took longer than if he had just asked openly, but he finally found the building the boy described. A massive, bleached dragon skull hung above the door, suspended by chains that glowed faintly with runic symbols. Its eye sockets flickered with soft blue light, as if watching everyone nearby.He glanced around cautiously."That must be it," he muttered, eyeing another building nearby before walking over.Art stopped in front of the building, now confident he’d found the right place.The building was tucked between two larger structures, yet it had a more special presence.Made from polished blackstone and silverwood, the shop had faintly glowing etchings across its s
Mistaken Identity
Art walked back to where he’d left Kira.She immediately ran toward him the moment he came into view.Art could tell that staying alone was still very uncomfortable triggering for her after everything she’d gone through. "Are you alright?" he asked.She simply nodded, and they both left the area together.Art's next destination was to find an artifact blacksmith.Unlike weapon blacksmiths, who worked on creating or recreating weapons and armor, artifact blacksmiths handled other magical items—like the masks he had. Some blacksmiths were skilled enough to excel in both areas.But there was no way he’d find a good blacksmith in this place. He needed to go deeper into the city, to the mage districts—and taking Kira with him wouldn’t be ideal."Umm... Kira. I have to go to the main city. Do you know which teleportation station leads there?"She described the directions for him. "I'm guessing I can't go with you?""Yeah. It won't be very safe for you," he replied. "Would you be okay going
Beneficial Exchange
Under Art's watch, the shop owner loosened the fabric covering the box, exposing its design. The moment it was revealed, an ominous wave of mana surged outward."You might need to protect yourself with mana. It's dangerous," the man warned, raising his gaze to Art.Art wasn’t a newbie in dealings like this. In his former life, he had been exposed to similar situations since childhood. He had learned how to read people—their intentions, their unspoken words.The shop owner was conducting one final test to see if Art was truly worthy of the mask.If Art followed his advice and shielded himself with mana, it would signal that he wasn’t strong enough to naturally endure its aura. That would shatter the illusion of overwhelming strength he had carefully crafted. Someone at A or S-rank wouldn’t even flinch at something of this level, no matter how impressive it was.That said, Art could tell the mask's aura was genuinely dangerous. But he wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away."Yo
