The Successor System Mask Royal Contest
“I’m still dizzy from that encounter. I better refrain from using that ability when not necessary. I’m too young to grow blind,” Art let out a sigh. He was walking outside where a lot of people were present, idly chatting away. Most of them had their masks off.Rather than uniforms, they were dressed in clothes of different styles, most being flashy and some even traditional. Art went for something more casual.The fact that they had their masks off was something that could’ve led to death a millennia ago, as it was considered an offense to do so during the festival back then.Art never planned on removing his, but at least it was a relief that he didn’t reincarnate back then with all those silly rules.A lot of activities were happening around the school premises and honestly, he would’ve stayed behind just like most of the people he saw with the mask back in the dorm, as participation in the ceremony wasn’t compulsory.But he came out for just one reason and he was now standing in f
The Successor System Silly names
After taking a seat, he waited patiently as someone arrived beside him shortly after. He had switched back to the aura vision mask to maintain his anonymity because this was someone he was familiar with.Art shifted his gaze to the person this came from, who was wearing a blue and black mask, before nodding his head.The person proceeded to sit beside him.Art was the one who told this person to meet him so it wasn’t as if he was oblivious to his identity.“I need you to help me with something.”This was the same boy who had helped him during the ‘deliver the crystal' competition.Ever since then, he had been showing respect and loyalty to Art.If only he knew what really happened that day.At first, this seemed a little annoying because of the slight pestering but he saw this as an opportunity to use him.“What do you want me to do?” he asked in anticipation of what Art had in mind.~Wisper~ ~Wisper~ ~Wisper~Blake’s eyes within the mask widened. “But that isn’t allowed.”This was de
The Successor System Red vs Bull
The fight up till now had been a tough one with both opponents trying to eliminate each other as soon as possible. And with just four minutes left for the next opponent to arrive, their desperation was justified. But the person who would be victorious already seemed settled.After getting pierced by the finger whose abilities weren’t still clear, Bull Reiner’s movement had kept dulling and with his attribute being a flexible type, which involved the control of the black substance in front of him, he was now having a hard time keeping up.This earned him more slashes from the fingers.“Tch!” Bull Reiner stared at the masked figure approaching him probably with a smile.‘I guess I messed up when I let that first finger touch me. I didn’t even feel the pain, and my strength is being drained continuously. It also seems like his fingers are glowing slightly. Just what the hell is the exact ability of those fingers? I’m going to lose if I don’t do something quickly.’Red redder had gotten t
The Successor System A Threat
~Pant~~Pant~~Pant~~Chuckle~“You’re one tough motherfucker,” Red Redder smiled with trickles of blood escaping from beneath his mask as he stared at the person in front of him who was wearing a blood-red demon mask.“Oh my! The contest is just kicking off but things are already this heated up. Looks like I was right. Right Kory?”“Hmmm.”The clash between them began only halfway to the arrival of the next contestant and even with that, he ended up in his current state.At some point in their fight, he was doubting if he would ever make it to catch a glance of the next contestant, but after some time he noticed something off.If this person was desperate to finish him off the same way he was to Bull Reiner, he would certainly be disqualified a long time ago.Added to the fact that his opponent hasn’t uttered a word since he arrived, it was proving difficult to read what he was thinking.But Red Redder found this stupid; leaving a threat existing when you could erase it.Another fact
The Successor System What sort of monster is this?
Over 50 tattoos on his body shattered sending green glass-like fragments flickering around and immediately after, 50 different bladed weapons appeared hovering around him. Lexi held onto two weapons, a spear on his right and a new sword on his left, which replaced the former that was destroyed in the crash. What he just pulled off was impressive, hence, it obviously required a significant amount of mana.Five green shurikens spun towards the red demon-masked man, with Lexi narrowing his eyes to monitor what would happen. And similar to what he expected, the air around 5 different points began to shimmer and condense, which was followed by 5 beams of shockwaves shooting toward the shurikens. Having control over the shurikens, Lexi was able to change their directions mid-air, successfully evading 2 of them from the shockwaves while the other 3 were completely destroyed.He didn’t seem bothered about that in the slightest rather, he had a smile on his face as just that simple exchange
The Successor System Two demons
The contest continued with more and more contestants joining in, and now, it was finally time for a good entrance.“Introducing contestant 20.” The moment this was heard, the fighting of the previous contestants seized as everyone looked towards the approaching figure.*Step**Step**Step*Whoever this contestant 20 was, gave off a confident and dominating aura together with the menacing mask. It immediately gave the impression that another formidable force had arrived. No one needed to be told the outcome of two tigers staying in one mountain. It would be very normal if this new contestant fought it off with the red demon-masked guy whom no one dared to approach after the fall of Lexi and Red Redder.Strangely enough, he hadn’t made a move either except for the occasional shockwaves that go off once someone gets too close. So everyone stayed out of range from him while fighting and eliminating each other.Seeing all the attention, contestant 20 couldn’t help but smirk internally at
The Successor System Disturbing Stranger 1
“Huh?” Art raised an eyebrow when seeing the change in the woman’s expression, or better put, he could feel it. ‘What is she planning?’ Immediately after, he felt himself lose control of 5 earth bullets, which was when what she had in mind dawned on him. “ I see. What a bothersome woman. “ Because of the number of earth bullets, his control was spread thin enough for her to take control over a few. Before Art was able to regain control to stop her, the five bullets shot towards the red demon-faced masked man. As it reached the normal range, the shockwaves were released, rippling all five bullets while progressing further to Art. All the earth bullets moved behind him, towards the direction of the incoming attacks, merging together to form a shield. The shockwaves slammed, cracking the shield while the resulting force spread across the arena. “Is it just me or do those shockwaves seem stronger?” One of the contestants left standing muttered. Art had a slight frown on his face w
The Successor System Disturbing Stranger 2
Art’s eyes darted towards the arena entrance as a figure walked towards them. This person was covered with a black cloak, wearing a white and purple wolf mask. Yes, this was the same girl he met during the contest registration.Something was very unsetting about her, especially with the kind of smile her lips were curved into.She arrived beside the kneeling Art with her smile growing even brighter, and before he could react, her hand was on his lips cleaning the little blood left.‘She’s fast!’ He hit her hand away from his face using his before stepping back.He didn’t know if he was imagining things but she seemed saddened by this.“Who are you?” He couldn’t help but ask. Her smile returned as she voiced out, “Quite disappointing, but you’d be finding out soon enough. Why don’t we take care of him first.” Hearing her voice caused his headache to be triggered once more as memories came flooding in. He groaned in pain with his eyes widening as he realized who this person was. “Tr

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
