The Successor System True Weapon Ceremony 1
The next morning, or so he thought. Art let out a yawn before opening his eyes. The first thing he saw was Racheal. “Hmmm? He stared at her in confusion.“Good morning Art.”“Is there a problem?” He asked sitting up.“It would soon be time for your departure.”“Departure?” He was even more confused and so was Racheal.He stayed in his room throughout the previous day which she believed was either the case or he left and returned as usual but this time without her knowledge. She went with the latter but seeing his reaction, she realized that she was wrong. “You would all be leaving for the ceremony soon,” she said with her eyebrows knitted.“No, that is meant to happen tomorrow.” She always wasn’t wrong when delivering information so he wondered if she hit her head somewhere. Hearing what he said, she was now convinced that he had overslept.“The announcement for the ceremony was made the day before yesterday and you didn’t leave your room yesterday which I failed to realize as I t
The Successor System True Weapon Ceremony 2
Slowly, consciousness slipped into Art and his eyes flickered for some time before opening and being greeted by the clear blue sky. He sat up feeling groggy before looking around. He could see faces he recognized and some he couldn’t and a lot of them were staring at him. He remembered getting drugged in the jet along with everyone else and after looking around once more, he realized that he was the last to wake up as they were all on their feet.This was quite embarrassing. He remembered his system activating defensive measures which failed because of his low intelligence stat point. According to the information given by the system, intelligence stat was focused on the ability to comprehend and use magic spells.Since his mana core had always been a problem and later got locked, he didn’t find it useful to place stats points there, but he was wrong as it clearly had other functions connected to the mind and body so he decided to no longer leave it behind. His system probably want
The Successor System The Cave of Alchemy
After saying those words, Lord Gajeel left without answering any of the questions they had in mind and now they were all left staring at the cave. The first person to walk forward was the boy who had an unwavering smile on his face.He was emanating pure confidence in every step he took and the next was Beatrix and then the boy beside her who was shorter than all of them, also looking younger.Iris followed and just like that, everyone began to head to the cave and after the first person stepped foot inside, a scenario similar to when he went down the stair appeared. Different glowing designs on the wall and ground, acting as a source of light.They walked further and the deeper they got the more lightened up the cave became. Even though this was a beautiful sight, it was still spooky, after all, this was a cave and you'll never know if something was hiding. Art who had experience from several horror movies in his previous life made sure to stay somewhere in the center occasionally
The Successor System Auxiliary mana core: While others cultivate, I level up.
They all kept staring at the wall where she previously stood in surprise and confusion.“Drake, what was that?” A boy beside the leader boy asked.“I guess she was right,” he responded as the confident and now excited smile on his face returned.He walked towards the wall and stood in front of it for some seconds before also walking in. Seeing him do this, everyone began to follow suit, and Art who was still being held against his will was pulled along with the shorter boy by the excited Beatrix.She didn’t even hesitate before jumping through the wall along with them. They felt a twist in space before appearing in a place that looked like…..well—space. Art felt that he would keep falling as it looked like an endless abyss but his legs made contact with something which he couldn’t see. It seemed transparent.It was pitch black all around and the only sources of like were the orbs floating above which looked like stars in the night sky.“So this is the Cave of Alchemy,” Art said in adm
The Successor System My System Laughed
"What the!” He exclaimed, subconsciously grabbing his chest but the orb had already gone in. ‘It went into me right?’‘Obviously.’He couldn't help but remember Lord Gajeel's words. 'The higher an orb is suspended from the ground, the more potential it's likely to have.’The height, the glow, even the size, everything about those two orbs screamed weakness. He couldn't believe it. He was doomed.His guide let out a deep sigh.‘I guess you got the screwdriver after all.’‘Shut the fuck up!’ He screamed internally.‘Yea!’ She also screamed like a scared little girl. ‘Who knows, maybe you're the one who jinx me earlier,’ he frowned.‘I’m innocent.’He wasn't going to fall for it this time.‘Your nothing but innocent.’ 'Then how do you want me to ease you? Oh! I got one. While you bath I'll……..’'Argggh!’ Art exclaimed. She was just too impossible. He had been having problems with bathing because of her. If it was up to him, he wouldn’t, but then again he had to.He headed back to wher
The Successor System Two worlds, Three people
Opening his eyes, Art found himself in an endless space with white glowing ground and a beautiful night sky with blue and green lights similar to an aurora.It felt so peaceful in here that even he was surprised. “Wait! Did I die?” He muttered in confusion as he fell into contemplation. "But how?” “Maybe I couldn't handle the mana pressure back there.” He looked around once more. “Then is this heaven or something.” “Heaven?” He heard the voice of a little girl which from behind and he turned back immediately. His gaze fell on not one but two girls. Both of them were the cutest thing he had ever seen. They seemed to be twelve years old and looked alike in all aspects except for their hair and eye colour. One of them had blue hair which was worn in long bunches stretching below her knee with snow-white skin and blue sparkly eyes which were filled with curiosity while scanning every inch of his body. The other had the
The Successor System Searching for a stronger foe
~Puchi~[You killed F-rank virac spider][+10 EXP] Art pulled out his dagger from the head of the spider-like creature about half his size.He was currently in another part of the forest filled with these beasts. Even the trail of bodies behind him said it all.After wiping out the entire black wolf from their territory, he focused his attention on this place and was proud to say that he had almost done the same here. *Cough*This was just a bus stop to his actual target. It took him some time to do the math but he figured it out.He wasn’t the best at school back then in his former life but at least he picked up some things.He could remember three major things that could cause migration and he believed they were also applicable to this world.So the red-eyed rabbits back then migrated because of either one of these. First, climate change which was obviously not the case. The second was lack of food which he also doubted and lastly, predators. If this last option was correct, it me
The Successor System Battling an E-ranked beast
The beast in front of him as he assumed truly blended in with this environment. A completely green mantis. Well, this wasn’t just any mantis as it was 3 feet tall with a masculine frame and numerous sharp teeth which had blood stains most likely from a recent meal.It stared viciously at him with its yellow slit eyes. Its forelegs or arms as some people may refer to had sharp edges like a blade and just by looking at it, he could tell that if he wasn’t careful, he would end up in at least two halves. The grip on his dagger tightened as he took a fighting stance. He would’ve preferred to move back where there was less grass but he didn’t think it was wise to move yet with a beast such as this which could attack at any time.He planned on wheeling them backwards during the fight. Just like with the wolves, he was observing it closely and could already tell that it would be more difficult to predict. After all, this was an E-ranked beast.

Grand Magus Test III
A frown crept onto Art’s face after the hot feeling in his hands left. [Energy Drain Completed] [+10 stat points]It was less than he had expected.Well, since we used little to no effort taking down the beast, expecting more would just be greedy.He held his head as a brief wave of dizziness washed over him before quickly fading. It was the usual side effect, though noticeably weaker than the first time. Probably because he hadn’t absorbed much this time.The beast lay still on the ground, even after Art removed his hand from its head. It was alive—but paralyzed. Completely unable to move.That was the effect of the Energy Drain skill. Victims became husks—empty vessels. And even now, Art didn’t know how long the paralysis would last… or if it would ever fade at all.With one swift motion, he ended the beast’s life and secured the EXP.The number on his shoulder—his rank—rose slightly, and new digits began to appear. A tally of his total points earned. Since he had only one D-rank
Grand Magus Test II
Lowering his mana aura, Art walked through the forest, which was indeed less dense than the one used during the raid.He didn’t want to scare off any beasts by giving off too much presence, which was why he suppressed it. Deep down, he also hoped some contestants would underestimate him enough to attack first. He didn’t want to go around starting fights as he had to build and mold his reputation as an adventurer, and it all began here.So far, he hadn’t encountered any beasts or contestants, nor had he found another ribbon.It was safe to assume the arena was large enough to accommodate all participants without forced conflict. A smart design choice.His vision was currently amplified by the third ability of his mask. Although it was draining his mana, he wasn’t bothered—thanks to the mask, he had a lot more mana than usual.With his current mana points, he could use the enhanced vision for three straight days before running out—assuming he didn’t recover any along the way. His stamin
Grand Magus Test
"ROOOAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!" The crowd erupted in excitement as the test broadcast began. "Ladies and gentlemen!" the commentator's voice echoed. "Welcome to the 42nd Grand Magus Test! The contestants have all been teleported to the new test arena. This is the first main test, structured to assess their performance as individuals..." He proceeded to give a brief explanation of their objectives, which only heightened the crowd’s anticipation. --- Somewhere within the city... A group of four men dressed in black and grey cloaks, their faces mostly concealed, stood silently. In front of them was a display showing the test. "We went through a lot of trouble creating a fake guild just to participate in the recruitment for this test. What if we don't find anyone suitable, or none of them have what we're looking for?" one of them asked. "Worry not, I believe one of them will possess the spark we need," another replied calmly. "They might be criticized by the world for their nature, but we
Not just a race
"What? Did he just say a race?""I think so." Murmurs filled the room as some participants tried to wrap their heads around what they’d just heard.A lean boy with spiky black hair and sharp blue eyes looked down at his legs, which were covered with a hard yet flexible black material—engineered specifically to enhance and protect them during sudden bursts of speed caused by his attribute.A smirk formed on his face.'This is it. My time has come.'Meanwhile, another boy stared down at his large, protruding belly. “I’m cooked,” he muttered.Art frowned beneath the black-silver mask. Those closest to him subtly shifted away, sensing the slight but menacing aura that radiated from him.He hadn’t realized that his mana aura was slowly being affected by the mask. Others were very wary of him.Their goal here was simple: perform well enough to get noticed and chosen by a good guild. This wasn’t a deathmatch, so the best course was to avoid serious threats—unless forced.Well, that was how
Guild leaders
Two of the four seated individuals turned their heads as Tera proceeded to the last empty chair in the room. Her escort just behind her.One of them was a man who looked to be in his late thirties. He had short brown hair and brown eyes behind rectangular transparent glasses. This was Zyn, leader of the Seven Blades Guild.The other was a woman with long, spiky black hair and crimson eyes.The three top guild leaders were the only Rowans in this city, so the remaining two Rowans present were from other places.The chairs were crafted from top-grade materials—durable enough to withstand any unexpected outbursts from powerful figures like them, while maintaining comfort and a pristine appearance.Tera’s chair was the only white one among them; the rest were grey.She hadn’t requested this, but it had been arranged regardless to ensure her utmost comfort—especially since Fedinar knew she had some... particular preferences."Tera, so you actually came. I've missed talking to you. We didn'

A/N: Check the ending of the chapter for the meaning of any word with an (*)---Everyone waited anxiously for the test to begin. It felt natural to expect that this year's would turn out better than the tests of the past few years.Then it happened—a loud, echoing sound reverberated through the air, signaling the arrival of someone important. Very important.Only a select few warranted that kind of announcement.The top guild leaders.Courtis—the leader of the Arcane Guild.Zyn—the master of the Seven Blades.Tera—the renowned leader of The Ashen Saints.These figures were like kings in this vast city of Guilds. Within this territory, no one but the Royal Family held more authority. Not even the Great Families.In fact, this wasn’t a good place for Great Family members to visit freely. Here, they were vulnerable—this city was the one place where enemies could hunt them down with minimal consequences.Not because the top guilds were openly hostile—though exceptions existed—but because
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
