~Pant~~Pant~~Pant~Art was covered in sweat while panting profusely. He lay flat on the floor of his room.With the state of his body, anyone who sees him would conclude that he was going to die at any second. Damn! He even looked like a ghost.Still, he had an exhausted smile as he stared at the screen in front of him.[Exercise:100 press-ups: ✓100 push-ups: ✓100 sit-ups: ✓10 km run: incompleteFeeding:5 Litres of water:✓5 kg of food:✓]Now, he only had to do the 10 km run.It had taken him over six hours to do all this, and honestly, he didn't think that he was going to make it, but here he was.He drank more water and rested for some minutes before heading out to the large training field.He didn't need any help getting to the destination he needed.Even though he just arrived a day ago, he knew this mansion like the back of his hand.When he arrived at the large field he could see about 3 people who were doing different sorts of training.The way they trained wasn't like his former world as they needed a lot of space to do this.One of them was practicing with a spear and with the way she moved graciously, along with the evening sun rays, was a very beautiful sight. “I better get to…………” he paused as some memories flooded in causing him to take several steps backwards with widened eyes.“Not this!” he cursed in annoyance.It turns out that the former body owner had a big crush on the girl he was looking at but didn't have the courage to approach her due to his low self-esteem.She didn't come for breakfast this morning which was why this was happening now. Not just her, a total of four didn't show up.She wasn't like those who mocked him to his face but she looked down on him nevertheless.Noticing his presence, she looked towards him a little confused.“Are you okay?”“Yes,” Art waved dismissively, walking away. "Hmmm?” She looked at him in confusion.“These memories are a burden in several ways.” He didn't like what he was feeling at all and knew it would take some time to kill.These memories were affecting his emotions towards some people.First Racheal, then those three boys, although he didn't dislike that one, and now this girl whose name is Cait. After creating enough distance, he focused on the task at hand.He didn't need to run across the field completely before finishing the quest which showed how big it was.After taking a deep breath, he began running and some people who watched him from a distance busted into laughter.Why won't they? The sight was just too funny.He looked like a hanged cloth flapping with the wind, threatening to be blown away. The worst part being that he wasn't even moving fast.Art tried his best to push through the wind resistance against him. This level of resistance won't even pose a problem to people from his former world, and here he was, struggling.From his POV, he looked determined and cool trying his best to push through despite difficulties but that was not the case for others. Even with him putting his best effort, his speed kept decreasing and after 2 km he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to take a break. That was until he began hearing footsteps from behind which were approaching very quickly.Looking back, he saw the blue-eyed and silver-haired girl who didn't give any attention to anyone this morning at the dining table.Her name was Iris and she was the cold type who avoided people. Even the look on her eyes said it all.She was also considered the strongest among all of them, so even with her beauty, no one tried to approach her for fear of not getting on her bad side. Well, that was except for one person who they haven't heard from in the past two months after a….umm…..certain incident.Even the former him was no different.It pained him to see her who had just started jogging about two minutes ago overtake him. This motivated him to push harder.He continued running behind her, watching the distance between them increase with every second.This went on for some time and now he could barely see her. But that was the least of his worries as his body had long exceeded its limits.He wanted to go on but his body completely froze up as he fell limply to the ground.He had put his weak body in a tough spot and was now beginning to lose consciousness but he forced himself to stay awake because of the words written on the screen.[Daily quest completed: +10 EXP][Host has leveled up!][Host has leveled up!][Host has leveled up!][+15 stat points to distribute]He was surprised that he had crossed 10 km.He couldn't explain the kind of joy he felt from leveling up.With a smile on his face, he proceeded to check his stats.[Name: Art Von SilverRace: HumanLevel: 3EXP: 10/20HP: 10/10MP: ???STR: 1AGI: 1STA: 1VIT: 1INT: 0Attribute: noneFree stats: 15]The smile on his face grew wider as he just got over three times his current stats.Racheal who just arrived in a hurry after seeing him fall stared at him in confusion as she wasn't expecting him to have such an expression.It was as though he had just found something to turn the tides of a battle to his favour. Unknown to her that she hit the bull’s eye.“Do you need help?” she walked closer to him.“Thanks, but no. I'll join you shortly.”With this said she nodded before walking away, believing that he was pushing himself too hard, but she never expected him to complete a 10 km run, she could hardly believe it.She wondered if maybe………, just maybe, he might be actually getting better this time.Art focused back on the screen. He has tested it out on multiple occasions before concluding that he was the only one who could see the golden screen in front of him.He wondered if the screen and his eye colour being the same was just a coincidence.That aside, he started distributing the free stat points. He already knew the places he wanted them to go to and when he was done, a feeling washed through his body which was pleasing as he felt more alive.Now, his status looked like this.[Name: Art Von SilverRace: HumanLevel: 3EXP: 10/20HP: 10/10MP: ???STR: 2AGI: 3STA: 6VIT: 3INT: 0Attribute: noneFree stats: 1]He put more stats into vitality to help his poor body condition and stamina which would help out with his daily quests since he planned on using it to get stronger for now, while leaving one free stat point.He would’ve put more into vitality but it would be suspicious if he just began to look healthier out of the blue.He didn’t notice that even though he wasn’t looking healthy, as an average base mage have 10 points in all their stats, he looked much better than before.The exhaustion he felt some seconds ago was now totally gone as he stood upDeciding to check his new body out, he began running back to his starting point, which was another 10 km.Mid-way, he began hearing footsteps once more and tilting his head sideways, he saw Iris with her usual poker face drawing closer before overtaking him again.If he didn’t know her character from the memories he’d received, he would have believed that she was doing it on purpose.After some minutes, he finally got to his destination falling to the ground completely exhausted.He could tell that he wasn’t as drained as before.After staring at the sky for a long time, with many thoughts about his past life and former family wondering how they took his death and what was going on now, he got strong enough to stand up and walk into the mansion headed straight for his room.He was looking forward to dinner.The people who were laughing at him earlier kept staring in surprise with a similar thought going through their heads.‘Did he just complete a 20 km run?’

He woke up the next morning, once again on his comfortable bed.“I don't think I'll be getting used to this anytime soon,” he muttered with a smile.‘I on the other hand think that I'll be getting used to your weakness very soon.’His mouth twitched as this was not the first thing he wanted to hear on a beautiful morning.“Come to think of it, you barely said anything yesterday.”‘Come on now. Don't tell me you're getting attached to my voice?’“O…of course not,” he stammered with his face turning a little red. Although he wasn't used to the sensation of someone in his mind, her voice was the best thing he has ever heard which was why he never truly complains. But how could he tell her that?“It was just so peaceful yesterday. I hope that happens often.”'Is that so? Then your prayers are answered .’“Huh?”‘The telekinetic bond between us requires a lot of mana to be maintained and since you're too weak I'm the one providing all that mana.

The Successor System The Journey begins
The ride wasn't a long one and they were now in a forest which was of course within the range they were allowed to go. Just as he anticipated, Racheal had brought him to this part of the forest which was mostly filled with a certain F-rank agility base beast.Beasts were separated into two classes. Normal and Magical.Magical unlike normal beasts could use mana and magic attributes, they also possessed mana cores just like humans. Mana cores were very important as almost everything runs with mana and they served like a battery.Both classes of beasts followed the same ranking. F-RankE-RankD-RankC-RankB-RankA-Rank S-RankS+ RankSS RankSS+ Rank Lesser beasts were from F to A-rank with A-rank and below being greater beasts. The cores produced by magical beasts also followed the same ranking.So this place was filled with the lowest rank of beasts but it was still too risky for someone like him. They both came out of the vehicle before glancing around.It seemed like they wer
The Successor System Life threatening battle
His eyes were filled with wariness as he approached the wolf beast. He monitored every inch of its body to predict its movements which would cover up for his lack of speed. If he didn’t have all this training from his former world, his chances of victory would be nearly impossible but he did, which increased his probability of coming out victorious to 40 percent and this depended on his first attack, so he didn't plan on messing it up.This scenario reminded him of a time in his previous life when he had to defend himself from a crazy dog using a piece of broken glass and he emerged victorious with some injuries, most of which were caused by the weapon he used. Even though the weapon he wielded now was much better than any he had ever come across, this situation was worse than then.Racheal watched in worry as they both inched closer to each other with her heart racing and when they reached 10 meters apart, they both lunged forward. Art expected it to leap to his upper region w

[Due to the stress and injuries put on host’s body, host’s life span has been shortened][Time left:][1:18:12:45] He was shocked at first after reading this, but then again, it was expected.This meant that he had less than two days to get to level ten, so if he doesn’t finish this today he would have to come back tomorrow.He opened his stats to see the changes.[Name: Art Von Silver Race: Human Level: 9EXP: 1030/1500HP: 3/10 MP: ???STR: 3AGI: 4STA: 7VIT: 2INT: 0 Attribute: none Free stats: 25] He pondered on whether to continue or not but his thoughts got interrupted by the ruffling sounds coming from the bushes. Racheal slowly broke the hug before looking around warily.Just a few seconds later, a white rabbit with glowing red eyes leaped out from a shrub and as her gaze fell on it, her eyes widened in horror. It was confusing how she didn’t seem scared of the wolf but had such an expression for a creature much smaller.You might be thinking that looks can be deceiv
The Successor System Facing death the second time
Art hasn’t been sitting down and leaving everything to her all this time. He had tried to distribute the stats he just received but much to his disappointment, the system didn’t permit him as his body was too weak to handle the kind of boost he was about to give it This was the last card he had but watching Racheal as she used magic reminded him of what happened when he, or better put, the former body owner saved the girl.Simply put, he could use magic.Although doing this was very risky, not doing anything was even riskier. He mustered as much strength as he could to stand up, before walking towards Rachael in the straight line from her to him which was water balls free. He wondered how she was killing the red-eyed rabbits behind him which was when he noticed that the water balls curved after passing him. He knew that she was both talented and powerful for their level but this went beyond his expectations as controlling them required a lot of concentration.Getting to where sh
The Successor System A Stronger Art
Somewhere in a forest where the rhythmic chirping of birds along with the rustling of the leaves of trees caused by the pure fresh breeze which together could put just anyone in a trance, a figure was seated cross-legged while staring into the skies. He had straight short black hair and golden eyes devoid of any emotions, seemingly entranced.He had a body that seemed to be slightly malnourished, not good but not that bad either.Overall he was quite handsome and was still yet to reach his true potential.Instead of being seated in the grads of the forest, he was on the body of several stacked black wolves.This 16-year-old was naturally Art.It has been 2 weeks since his near-second embrace with death and he had gotten better in almost every aspect during this time.This was obvious just by looking at his body which was no longer skinny and totally pale.He brought his gaze down to the carcass of the beasts wondering how one of them almost claimed his life some days ago.

The Successor System Big Mistake
The journey to the mansion took him about 40 minutes, so he had 20 minutes left before the announcement and he needed a shower. There wasn’t anyone outside as this was still early in the afternoon with most of them being either in their room or the underground training arena.Oh! Forgot to mention that.There was a large training arena below the mansion where real training and sparring happened.The field on the outside was mostly for exercising and light training if the person wanted to do it outside. Art was yet to go there since he arrived in this world and he planned to do that soon. He walked into the mansion with a lot on his mind. He knew that he couldn’t depend on mana for now so he had to exercise the abilities of the Silvers to the fullest.He was thankful that he wasn’t born into a family that derived all their strength from the use of magic, or else he would’ve been doomed for having his mana core locked. So, he had to keep increasing his stats while honing his fighti
The Successor System Important Announcement
“Greetings, Lord Gajeel,” the voiced out in unison while standing up with a bow.Art found this weird, but he had to do it. It was a sign of respect shown to senior members of the family and this wasn’t just done by the Silvers. Lord Gajeel didn’t usually meddle in their personal affairs. His job was just to observe, guide and pass on information to them. He let them do anything they pleased as long as it didn’t affect the few rules put on them. “Hahaha! Come on now, you guys don’t have to get all formal with me. You can have your seats,” he chuckled as they obediently sat down.He walked towards a large sofa which was positioned in a place where everyone could easily see him.After sitting down, he glanced at every one of them, coming to a stop when his gaze fell on Art.He stared at him for some time before smiling slightly.‘What’s with that,' Art’s eyebrow knitted slightly.Lord Gajeel focused back on all of them with a serious but slightly excited expression as he began speakin

Invitation 2
“Art?” Elora’s voice broke the tranquility of the courtyard, her green eyes widening as she took in his appearance. Her heart-shaped lips parted in surprise, and for a moment, she seemed lost for words. She hadn’t expected him to show up, much less looking so… different. Art inclined his head slightly in a gesture of courtesy. The movement was restrained and formal, but it unsettled Elora. She didn't want him acting this way. “You’re here,” Art said, shifting his gaze to the person he was most familiar with. “Yes,” Asura replied, her bright purple eyes locking onto his. Her keen gaze swept over him, noting the changes not just in his stature but his overall demeanor. This was the first time they’d seen each other since the raid, and Asura could sense that Art had grown. Finally, Art’s attention shifted to the third figure present, the most imposing of the group. A woman in her late twenties stood with her arms lightly crossed. Her long, straight white hair flowed elegantly in the

Invitation 1
Art walked through an open pathway, hands in his pockets. He was looking better after finally getting some sleep.Neither Viron nor Sil was in the room. He hadn’t seen them for over two weeks, only occasionally sensing their presence when they returned. The same went for Daste, his third roommate.For some reason, he hadn’t heard anything from his guide during this time. This wasn’t like other instances—it felt different. He couldn’t sense her at all. He believed it had something to do with the body she had told him to hold back in the room back then.Several people were walking and talking around him. From the crowd, he suddenly heard his name.“Art!!!”He turned toward the voice to see Caitlyn running toward him. That’s right, he hadn’t seen her during all this time either. She had a worried yet surprised expression written all over her face.She stopped just in front of him, immediately noticing the changes in his appearance over the past month.

A much stronger Art
Hmph!A soft grunt escaped as a boy slumped back into the chair he was seated on.His usual spiky black hair now drooped, and his golden eyes—once vibrant—were dimmed by exhaustion, with dark bags beneath them. His complexion was pale, a clear sign of poor health.Anyone who had known him before would immediately notice the stark changes in his appearance. Yet, despite his unhealthy look, there was no mistaking that he had grown stronger. His muscle mass had significantly increased, and the calluses and bruises on his hands told a story of relentless physical training. But perhaps the most striking difference was the aura of magic surrounding him. Even when suppressed, it was intimidating. His roommates, had they been less powerful themselves, might have felt uneasy simply being near him.This was also a result of intense mana cultivating to improve his magic core. All this was the result of one month of grueling training since his return from the Ancient City. Today marked exactly

The Kyusei
Within a certain place, A vast, hollowed-out cavern was concealed behind a cascading waterfall deep within the mountains. The roar of the water outside echoed faintly through the chamber, mixing with the low hum of tension that filled the space. The air was damp, and the stone walls were rough and unrefined, scarred with cracks that seemed to form a web around the room. Seven figures stood at different points in the chamber, each occupying their own corner of the expansive space. The dim, flickering light from a series of braziers scattered throughout the room cast long shadows, distorting their forms on the uneven walls. One stood near the entrance, leaning casually against the stone, his arms crossed and his face hidden by the shadow of his hood. Another lingered by a jagged outcrop at the far side, their fingers idly tracing a scar etched into the rock, as if lost in thought. A third crouched low on a raised ledge, their sharp eyes scanning the others like a predator assessing p

Reunion
“Are you feeling better now?” Sonra asked Rhea, her voice soft with concern. Rhea, like the others, had several bandages wrapped around her body. The rest of their party was in a similar state, their injuries a testament to the ordeal they had just survived. Though they had been congratulated by their superiors for their bravery and promised additional points, the weight of what they had faced left no room for celebration. The atmosphere among them was heavy. Each member was lost in thought, reflecting on the experience of barely escaping death. For most of them, this was their first brush with mortality, and it had left an indelible mark. Rhea’s gaze was distant, her thoughts trapped in a memory she wished she could forget. She kept recalling the tragedy of her childhood, where no help had come in time. If only things had been different, maybe those other children wouldn’t have died. The pain of that day was etched into her expression, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Ramond

Saved?
The eerie sensation of being watched thickened the air around them. Art and Asura exchanged wary glances, their breaths quickening as the oppressive feeling pressed down on them. It wasn’t long before their worst fears were confirmed. From the shadows, five ash-like humanoid figures emerged, their forms identical to the entity they had barely managed to defeat moments ago.The duo sat frozen on the ground, unable to rise, not because of exhaustion alone but because the sheer magnitude of the threat was paralyzing. The figures moved with unnerving synchronicity, their glowing blue runes pulsing rhythmically like malevolent heartbeats.Four of the creatures stopped at an equidistant perimeter, forming an ominous circle around their prey. But the fifth, larger and more menacing, stepped forward, breaking the symmetry. Its towering frame cast a long shadow over the duo, and its glowing blue eyes locked onto them with an intensity that felt almost sentient.Art and Asura didn’t move. They

False Relieve
“Do you have anything in mind?” She asked, preparing herself. “Yes,” a grin appeared on Art’s face. “I’ve been preparing something during our fight. It’s a good thing we didn’t end up dead before I could use it. I believe that it has weaknesses at some points of its body, which happen to be its magic energy source. It seems that it was made by a mage from long ago, but I’m surprised that it’s still functional and this strong.”"I think delivering powerful hits to these points could destroy it. But I doubt that we'll be able to do that without at least one of us getting killed."He was able to learn all this after he researched rune magic. When they arrived here, he tried creating a teleportation circle that would link to the one he left back in the forest, but it failed. Something seemed to be obstructing it. This showed that he still had much to learn.But if things go well, they might just succeed in defeating it.“Here’s what we’ll do…”***The Ash humanoid, which had been looking

Fragments of the Frosty Past
The crumbling walls of the abandoned city wrapped around them like a grave, the air heavy with silence. Art and Asura sat across from each other in the hollow of a shattered building, their exhaustion palpable. The faint glow from the top filtered through cracks in the ceiling, casting soft light over their battered forms.It seemed that night was upon them since it was slowly getting darker.Art leaned back against the cold stone wall, his breathing finally steadying. He glanced at Asura, who sat with her knees drawn up, frost still clinging faintly to her fingertips. The way the light touched her pale skin and the shadows danced in her lilac-white hair made her look ethereal, even now. Even though she was pretty messy. “You weren’t bad out there. We’re just outmatched,” Art said, breaking the quiet.Asura blinked, caught off guard. Her gaze shifted to him, studying his face. “Outmatched huh?” she repeated, tilting her head slightly.He nodded. “Most people would’ve folded under tha

“Guys!!!” Sonra and Caitlyn, among the six who arrived with Professor Verone, sprinted toward their party members. Relief washed over their faces, though it was mixed with worry. When Verone informed them of the danger their friends faced, they feared the worst. Miraculously, despite the odds, everyone was alive. Tears glistened in Caitlyn's eyes as she embraced Rhea. “You’re okay! I thought…” “I know,” Rhea said softly, exhaustion evident in her voice. “We’re still here.” The reunion was bittersweet, shadowed by the looming threat. While the students exchanged hurried words of relief, the adults gathered nearby, their attention already on the remnants of the battle. Professor Verone addressed the bald man in their group. “Did you discover anything?” “Where’s Japh?” the bald man demanded brusquely. “He’s unavailable,” Verone replied calmly. “I’m in charge. Report to me.” The bald man gave her a brief nod, then explained the details of the creature they had encountered. As he sp
