The Successor System The Contest begins
He stretched out before looking through the window at a clear blue sky. It felt so good to be alive, he couldn’t wait for what today and the next few days had in store for him and certain people. He had prepared early as the contest was being hosted in a different place which was in the middle of all 3 training mansions of the 3 branch families.He didn’t need to take anything with him as all their needs would be provided there so after completing part of his daily quest and dressing up, he walked towards the door of his room but just before crossing he stared back at his bed with sadness in his eyes.This was probably the last time he was going to see his bed and his room. Not only them but the mansion as a whole.He had built his first-month worth of memories here so it felt a little sad but at the same time, he couldn’t wait to leave as he needed to see the outside world and was restricted here.After one last glance, he closed the door b
The Successor System Unexpected Guest
“In the first stage of the contest, you will be fighting in duos. The total number of contestants is 48, so you would be put into four different groups and duo partners would have to battle duo opponents in their groups. This is the group stage and the two duos from each group with the best result would proceed to the next stage.”“To win, both opponents should either be rendered unconscious or give up. Natural weapons and magic of all kinds are accepted. You would be allowed to meet and discuss with your partner 30 minutes before your match begins. That would be all for now.”The voice stopped there as Art let out a sigh.'So they’re keeping us in the dark on who our partners are until shortly before the match. That’s not very nice.Thirty minutes won’t be enough to get to know how to sync with your partner’s ability much less come up with a strategy. And we also have to be careful not to give much information to our partners as they can end up as our enemies later on.’A smile appear
The Successor System Frigga's Match
He wasn’t familiar with the other 3 faces but the last was Frigga. If he was to convert Frigga's capabilities into stat, he would still lose out even now and he was yet to see his fighting style.He casually placed his hand on his jaw while waiting for the fight that was about to take place. After thirty minutes, 4 figures appeared on the battlefield facing each other in pairs. Frigga who was paired with another boy stared at their opponents which was a boy and a girl duo in ridicule. His partner had a confident smile while both of their opponents were worried, uncertain of their victory. These were normal emotions as they had all been present in the true weapon ceremony and could still recognize Frigga who got picked as a group leader. Without a doubt, he was a powerful foe. But still, they weren’t going to go down without a fight. Their parents, and siblings who were considered true family members were watching. Frigga held a two-meter-long bill in his hand while the boy beside
The Successor System Grand Acting
The person displayed as his teammate was someone he was familiar with. She was Jasmine. The person who had approached him after his defeat by Iris. According to his ranking, she was previously number 4 which made him happy as she was strong enough to help with his play.The reason he referred to it as his ranking was because he was the one who made it up. There was nothing official about it. But he was sure that he was right unless there were more anomalies like Tess who isn’t able to release her true ability for certain reasons.He wondered what kind of face his partner would be making. ********************************Jasmine stared at the screen in front of her with eyes filled with disbelief and parted lips. How? Just how was she stuck with someone like him? She calmed herself down, panicking wasn’t going to help her. She needed to come up with a strategy for them to fight. Shortly after, they got teleported into a different room. Art stared at the bracelet on his hand con
The Successor System Get your revenge
This match was going to be a bit special as all the competitors were from the same branch family. As Art appeared in the waiting room with her, she noticed that he was giving off a different vibe than before.“Is something wrong?” She asked to which he shook his head. He smiled from time to time and the smile on his face was quite frightening. Seeing this part of him reminded her about the change he had undergone which she had forgotten because of his recent display of weakness.Shortly after, they were teleported into the battlefield along with their opponents JV and Chucky.They seemed even happier than him. They were like someone who just got their 10-year-old long wish granted.They were surprised to find themselves as partners but couldn’t tell what the reason for this was, but now they understood. This was without a doubt destined by the heavens.Even though they felt excited, they couldn’t let their guards down as they knew well how strong Jasmine was. They believed he was e
The Successor System Shocking everyone
“Vwooooooom,”“Zoooooooom!!”They both hurtled towards each other and a few meters apart, they swung their swords which made a clang upon impact and JV took two steps backwards showing already who had the upper hand in strength. JV who couldn’t accept this sent out many more slashes but Art succeeded in blocking every single one and when he got an opening, he swung his sword towards JV’s neck without putting too much effort but when JV blocked, it felt quite heavy so he decided to duck avoiding Art’s dagger which he stabbed towards him but he failed to notice Art’s feet which were being raised towards his face. He ended up kissing Art’s boots while staggering backwards with blood trailing from his lips. “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got?” Art smirked teasingly. Everyone watching this was gob-smacked especially the Vons who were even frozen in shock. From this short exchange, Art was proven stronger than JV. When did someone who was so pitiful gain strength of thi
The Successor System NIGHTMARE
“JV are you alright?” Chucky knelt beside him.“I’m fine, I just dropped my guard a little,” he spat while standing up with blood dripping from his left shoulder. “But you’re injured. I think I should take it from here.”“Don’t give me that crap,” JV retorted. “I would be the one to bring him down.” Chucky folded his fist as he said words that he never thought possible in his entire life.“I- I hate to admit it. I don’t know how, but he’s stronger than we expected. We…….we would have to team up to defeat him.”JV bit his lips so hard that blood began to flow out. Teaming up against this loser. This was far from acceptable but it was the reality. He promised to disgrace him to the highest possible point before claiming victory. “Aren’t you guys done flirting?” Art yawned causing their anger to rise to abnormal heights.Chucky’s choice of weapon was a pair of gauntlets with claws so he was also a close-range fighter.“Let’s go,” they both crouched down with Art doing the same, he h
The Successor System Mysterious Figure
Everyone watched as Art made them suffer drastically. He made sure not to hit their vital organs so as not to get the officials involved but right now, he had to stop. If he continued, he would be considered someone cruel, heartless, or even a psychopath.Not that he cared about their opinion of him, but it wasn’t a good idea for people to think of him like that with his current strength. So even though he wasn’t satisfied, he had to let them off. He stared at their bloodied body along with some broken bones which was barely conscious for some seconds before shaking his head.He was about to walk away when he remembered something so he turned and spat on Jv’s face then proceeded to walk away. The whole arena watched him in silence with a smile forming on the face of a silver-haired and yellow-eyed lady. Jasmine subconsciously stepped back as he walked past her without sparing a glance. She was glad that this was their last match together as she didn’t believe she could fight comfor

A New Resolve
It took Caitlyn even longer than expected to find Valor.Back in the dream, the fox had told her to find him. She was pretty sure it had been referring to Valor—after all, he was the only male soul summoner in the entire school.Ultimately, she found him seated alone in a secluded building, his posture slumped, a defeated expression clouding his face.Well, considering he had actually been defeated two days ago, it wasn’t all that surprising.He was so lost in thought that he only noticed her when she got very close.His gaze shifted toward her, his brows furrowing. "Who are you?" he asked, frowning."Uh—sorry to bother you. My name is Caitlyn Slerh. I'm a summoner, also in the first year." She figured he wouldn’t recognize her since he rarely attended classes. "I’d like you to help me with summoning magic.""You’ve really got some nerve," he scoffed. "Leave before I get any angrier.""I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I need to tackle my problem if I want to keep up with him. Please he
Fox Soul Summon
Shallow breaths escaped along with gasps as the darkness around a girl twisted into a white landscape.She stood at the center of the brightly lit scenery, a thick white mist curling around her ankles. It felt both cold and hot at the same time.Faint echoes of whispers drifted from the distance beyond.Suddenly, a deep growl rumbled through the air.Her body tensed as she slowly turned.And there it stood before her—a towering nine-tailed fox with gleaming white fur. Its crimson eyes burned like embers, and each of its nine tails swayed along with the wind.She tried to step back, but she found herself unable to move.The fox advanced, its massive paws making no sound as it circled her."Why are you scared?" A soft, layered feminine voice slithered through her mind.Her eyes widened, her breathing becoming faster and more labored."W-Who are you?" she barely managed to whisper."I am the one you freed and saved. I am sincerely grateful for that, so I shall dedicate myself to serving
The Cost of Escape
*Pant**Pant**Pant*Art slowly brought his breathing under control. He had been so close to dying once again.He placed a hand on his damp, bloodied chest. He had managed to escape by using the space swap attribute he copied to switch places with the clone he left in the forest. Normally, the space swap attribute didn’t work over such long distances, but it works specially well with the clone attribute since the clone carried the same mana signature as him. So, It was successful—though at an immense cost.The technique had drained a large amount of his mana, leaving his MP low. He had also timed it as perfectly as he could, but she had been too fast, managing to partially pierce him before the switch.If he had been even an instant slower, he would be dead by now."I need to leave," he muttered, pushing himself up and staggering away. This place had nearly killed him twice—he had no intention of returning.Art navigated through the forest, even though he had no real idea where he wa
Marked by the Kyusei
Art’s grip on his weapon weakened slightly at the sight of the person staring down at him.From the inscriptions on her eye, he could tell—she was part of that group.And judging by the sheer presence she exuded, she was powerful. Very powerful.Fighting was out of the question."Is something wrong?"Another voice drifted in.'Wait… there’s two of them?' Art’s panic grew, now visible on his face. 'I didn’t even notice either of them…'"Yes. Someone’s here," the woman responded, narrowing her eyes at him. "Though I’m still debating whether he’s here on purpose… or if he’s just lost. Because coming here at that level of strength would be incredibly stupid."Art didn’t even have the luxury of feeling insulted.His mind was working at full speed, trying to figure out how to leave here alive.The second figure—the male—arrived at the scene, his gaze settling on Art.His eyes had an eerie, faint blue glow, and like the woman, he bore those same strange inscriptions. It seemed to be a shared
Remains of the Grand War
Art stared at the little chest for several seconds. 'Is it safe to touch that?'After contemplating for what felt like a minute, he decided against opening it now, opting to store it away for later. With a flick of his wrist, the chest vanished into his storage device.Once he finished collecting everything, he placed them inside the larger spatial device he had bought.Now, it was time to check the ruins.There was a chance they held clues—fragments of history that could tell him more about the battle that took place here.Anything that could provide insight into the Grand War.He exited the central building moments later, stepping into the ruins once more.Unlike before, there was no lingering sensation of being watched.Only silence.An eerie stillness hung in the air as Art cautiously made his way through the crumbling remains of what had once been a grand city.The walls, faded with time, bore cracks and scars from the past. Vines crept over the structures, slowly reclaiming the
Back to the city
Art carefully navigated the forest, mindful not to lose his way.He had planned ahead before now, placing the teleportation circle in a spot that would make this journey easier.After a few minutes, he arrived at the area where he had once fought seventeen D-rank beasts. Much of the mess had been covered by vegetation and nature, but the site was still recognizable.A good sign—he was on the right track.Before long, he reached the stream where he and Asura had fought.It was just as beautiful as before, though he had no time to admire it.‘I believe it was there.’ His gaze settled on the tree where she had told him to meet her. Without hesitation, he headed in that direction.Then, he noticed something."Hmm?"Looking up, he spotted several beasts perched in the trees, staring down at him.They were D-rank beasts, clearly hungry, but none of them dared to move closer—let alone attack.Their instincts and intelligence warned them otherwise.Art ignored them and continued walking.Afte
Out of the Academy
Two days later, A girl with bright pink, pigtailed hair leaned against a wall, her arms crossed. Seated beside her was a black-haired boy with a scarred cheek."You're telling me he's gotten that strong in just a few months?" Karen, the number one Elite, asked, his tone laced with curiosity."Yep. I saw it myself. Not only can he use the Silver special arts, but he also wields rune magic decently well. Honestly? I’m not even sure who's stronger between us." Uramia’s eyes flickered with interest at her own words.Even after Art’s fight, more surprises had followed."And it's not just him. There was another one. Another Silver. He caught me off guard the most. You should keep an eye on them.""If what you're saying is true, then even I would struggle to handle them alone," Karen admitted, looking up at her. "I might need your assistance."Uramia met his gaze with an unreadable expression before bursting into laughter."I’ll lend a little assistance here and there, but don’t expect much
Declaration
"You wish! Don't think you'll just have your way. This isn't over yet!" Valor spat. "Go!"His C-rank summon charged at Art once more, its sheer presence pressing down on the spectators. Many students shifted uncomfortably in their seats, intimidated by its raw power. But Art? He didn’t even move.The summon closed in fast, one of its heated appendages whipping forward, aiming straight for Art’s forehead.About two months ago, back during the raid, this attack would have seemed overwhelmingly fast. But now?It was nothing.Casually, Art stretched out his blackened right arm, catching the appendage mid-strike—right at its burning hot-spot.A scream echoed across the arena.But it wasn’t from Art.The beast recoiled in agony, thrashing wildly. It lashed out with its second appendage, but Art dodged effortlessly, then twisted his grip and slammed the creature into the ground. A deep crack spread from the impact.The summon screeched, struggling to break free. Its flailing tails radiated i
The Beauty of Power
The C-rank summon charged forward furiously.Just by running, its paws and claws left deep marks on the ground.Many students watching were disturbed by its presence. To think Valor would summon something this powerful for just a spar—it was absurd. But despite its ferocity, the beast only showed interest in Art, proving that Valor had complete control over it.The summon was a four-limbed creature resembling a massive hound, but it had two additional appendages sprouting from its back. These thick, tail-like structures ended in razor-sharp points, radiating immense heat. A strike from them wouldn’t just cut—it would sear flesh instantly.Art steadied his stance, his true weapon shifting into a long spear as he faced both the beast and its summoner. Valor smirked, gripping his short sword tightly as he advanced in tandem with his summon.The beast lunged first, its molten tails whipping toward Art with deadly speed. He dodged, pivoting on his heel to evade the searing strikes. Counter
