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.

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
Disguise Hunting
Art freshened up and changed his clothes.Most of the clothes he had become tight so he had to buy new ones.Art's plan on becoming an adventurer would pose a lot of risks if he left his face exposed.He needed to keep his identity hidden. Especially as he was sure that he would make a lot of enemies with his character. So he needed to buy a new mask since he had already used the ones he had back in the academy, and they could be linked back to him.He also decided not to use his Silver abilities. So he had to stick to his earth magic and the others he copied.Art wore a black hood to hide most of his face.Just when he stepped out of the house, he heard Kira's voice."Wait!" She said, walking towards him. "Can I come with you?"He wouldn't have agreed to it, but this was the first time that she wanted to leave the house after her traumatic encounter. So he was forced to accept."You'll have to cover your face with something."She nodded before walking in. Coming out shortly after, w
Fat Art
Art spent the next ten days staying with them.Just like Yuh's father had said, the registration for the Grand Magus test began three days after Art's arrival. He had already registered a few days ago.Initially, he had planned to leave the day after he arrived, but Yuh’s parents insisted he stay at least until the test began. After all, he was still young and pretty much homeless. Yuh wasn’t sure if her parents would have let him stay had they known what he was capable of.Still, they offered him a roof over his head and plenty of food.With no other alternatives, he accepted. They were good people, and he wasn’t about to reject their kindness. But he wasn’t a freeloader either. The next day, he found a merchant willing to buy some of his items.The merchant couldn’t determine the exact value of the feathers Art had collected, so he offered a low price. Art was convinced they were worth much more, so he held onto them. Instead, he sold some low-grade mana cores—as absorbing them at
A way in
Art walked through the streets behind the girl, his arms folded across his chest. He tried to stay composed despite his inner turmoil. --- Moments ago "What did you say?" "I want to thank you properly, and you seem hungry. I can't be sure of anything except that we make lovely dishes at my home," the girl said. Art took a few seconds to reply. He might have been hungry, but he still had his pride. "Ehk-hem! I actually have somewhere to eat. But if you insist, I'll take you up on your offer," he said with a straight face. His reply seemed to please her as she smiled. "My name is Yuh. Please follow me." --- And that was how he ended up like this. He hadn’t paid much attention to her earlier, but now he gauged her physical appearance. She looked slightly older than him, with several injuries and bruises—probably from when she confronted those men. They walked for several minutes, passing many people and buildings along the way. This was the first time he was freely walki
An Angry Man is still a Hungry Man
Art never thought of himself as some kind of hero who saved every person he didn't know in distress without expecting anything in return. In fact, he considered that kind of mindset foolish—a pointless waste of time, energy, and effort. A simple thank you wasn't enough to justify the trouble. People might call him self-centered for thinking this way, but he didn’t care. That was just how he saw the world. But there were some things even he couldn't ignore. Some acts so vile they crossed a line, and this was one of them. For someone with a 25-year-old mentality—perhaps even older, considering the memories of the life he had replaced—certain things struck a nerve. Especially when he had two younger sisters, though from different worlds. Hearing what these men had done… It triggered something in him. His golden eyes glowed as mana gathered around him, the air shifting with his rising energy. Both men instinctively took a few steps back. 'Wait… he's a mage too? But he looked so
Food to Foe
"I knew it!" The lady spat in irritation. "Get this beggar out of here!" "Wait! I'm not broke!"Two large, menacing men appeared beside him.In the next instant, he was sent flying out the door and crashing to the ground.He stood up shortly after, teary-eyed. "I'm actually broke. I'm not used to this. Maybe I should've stuck with those people."Grooowwwllllllllllll...His stomach reminded him once again of its situation.Standing here, inhaling all these delicious aromas without even a bite to eat, was pure torment.He glanced around, wondering what to do next when an idea hit him.'I could trade some things I have for cash. I'm sure they'll be worth a lot.'Thankfully, his spatial bracelet was still on his wrist.All he had to do now was find a buyer or a merchant store.It would take some time and effort, especially with his empty stomach, but he promised himself he’d make sure to compensate himself bountifully.Having the support of the Silver, as well as the Royal family, ensure
Alone in the city
Fiona paced so restlessly in the main hall, arms crossed quite tightly over her chest. As soon as the weighty doors swung, her dad walked in, and she turned quickly toward him."Father! You're back!" Lord Varian, a graying, tall man who had a well-maintained beard, took off his coat, handing it to an attendant. He slightly arched an eyebrow at his daughter's tense posture. "I exist. Though, from the look on your face, something tells me you're not here to welcome me peacefully."Fiona huffed. "You won’t possibly believe the thing that happened."Lord Varian chuckled softly, moving onward toward a plush chair near the fireplace. "I think that I shall, actually." He sat down, gesturing for her to continue.Fiona wasted no time. "That very boy we saved—he tried to steal right from us! I caught him right in my own room!"Lord Varian's brow furrowed quite slightly. However, he remained completely silent, allowing her to vent."And after I then confronted him, he tried to begin making excu
Accused
"What are you doing here?" Art stared blankly at the girl standing just inside the room's entrance. She looked about his age, with shoulder-length auburn hair and a round, fair face that grew redder with fury with each passing second.He quickly put two and two together—she was most likely the owner of the room.He immediately tried to clear the misunderstanding."It’s not what you think," he said, instinctively raising his hands."I hoped you would be a good and sincere person, but you're just like the rest. How could you try to steal from us? You even came into my room!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with irritation and disappointment."Wait! What? Steal? No, you have this all wrong!" Art defended himself."Guards! Frier!!" she screamed loudly."I just woke up! I was checking if there was anyone around. I was really just trying to thank you guys!" Art further tried to explain.Seconds after her loud call, four people arrived.Three were men, while the fourth was a woman.The woman
Consciousness
Viron groaned as he regained consciousness.'What happened?' he muttered, sitting up.His last memories of talking with Zenchi resurfaced.'Wait! I actually tried to attack him?' His eyes widened in disbelief. 'What got into me? I haven’t been that angry before. Was it the stress from all the training?'He looked down at his body and noticed some bandages.'He completely rendered me useless with one casual attack? No, he only released his aura with a little mix of lightning. That was barely an attack. What a monster. How does someone even defeat someone like that?'Viron could feel most of his strength returning, so he had no trouble moving. He walked over to the window and gazed outside.The sun was slowly being replaced by the moon, casting long shadows over the academy grounds. Despite the growing darkness, people were still outside—talking, laughing, loitering.Here, as in most academies, it wasn’t compulsory to learn magic solely for battle. Especially in this era, which had mos
