“Aura release!”The glowing mark on his eyes grew brighter as a powerful wave of aura burst from his body, destroying all the ice around him.“I’m under attack. Can’t I just have my peace?” Art muttered.Whatever was attacking him was strong as he had to put a lot of effort into destroying the ice.His dagger and sword appeared from his storage device into his hands.The particles of ice that were suspended mid-air due to the explosion morphed into very thin spikes, numbering several hundred, all aimed at him.Using both weapons in that split second, he sent out aura slashes, which destroyed nearly all the spikes, but the rest were strong enough to pass through his aura skin and pierce into his true skin.They were thinner than needles, so the pain was not more than what he could handle, but actual damage wasn’t done. Well, that’s what he thought at first, but he began feeling cold from within. He immediately realized that these thin ice needles were being used by the enemy to freeze
A young man about 23 years old could be seen standing in the middle of several people who lay lifeless in a pool of blood. It was deep in the night and such a sight would be both terrible and frightening to a normal person, but this was a desolate area so there was no one to notice what had happened here.He was also covered in blood belonging to both him and the people on the ground as he used the remaining consciousness he had left to stare at the woman who he had fallen in love with and even wanted to marry.She had betrayed him by handing him over to the people who sought after his life the most. His family was very wealthy and influential, striking fear in almost anyone who heard of them, but what most people didn't know was that there was an internal war going on between his father and his uncle. He wasn’t interested in all this but always stayed on his toes because he was the first son of his father making him the heir.But today he had gone on a date with his fiancé, ending
His eyes flickered for some time before finally opening. His vision was blurry at first but it took only a few seconds to get clear.‘Where am I?’ he said internally while slowly gazing around the luxurious room where he lay. The bed he was lying on was so comfortable that he felt like going back to sleep but when he remembered his death along with the strange voice and screen, his eyes widened as he immediately sat up. He observed the room in more detail. The style and design were like that of an 18th-century royalty but the materials used were something the 21st century could only wish for.The windows were wide open and he could hear some clanging sounds coming from outside.The air he was breathing was much purer than his former world.Before he could dwell further in his thoughts, the golden screen which had appeared after his death, materialized once more in front of him.He moved slightly backward due to shock before reading what was written.[Congratulations! Host has succe
He clearly remembers the words written back then on the screen. [Searching for suitable host] By no means was this body suitable, no, it was more of suicide. “System! What is the meaning of this? Why didn’t you tell me that this is a magical world?” All his plans had just been blown away, there was no way that money was the most important thing here. ‘You were the one who assumed that it wasn’t silly.’He heard a voice which caused him to look around the room alarmed. He could recognize the voice. It was the same soothing voice that had spoken to him after the system first appeared, without a doubt, belonging to a female. “Who is there? Who are you?” He couldn’t see anyone at all. If he told anyone about this in his former world, they would just shake their head and direct him to a psychiatric hospital.‘Unfortunately for you—you can’t see me because I’m speaking directly into your mind. In a way, I’m within it.“Huh! Within my mind? How?” He wasn’t comfortable with this and i
After the system flooded him with all that information he didn't want to experience again, he ended up falling to the ground and hadn't gotten up since then, so he couldn't see the person who just came into his room because of the big bed which obstructed his vision. But the person walked around as both of their gazes fell on each other. He could recognize the girl in front of him even though this was actually his first time meeting her. She was about his age or a little older with short bright blue hair and azure eyes, which were filled with worry. She was very beautiful, several times more than his ex-fiancé in all aspects. According to the information and memory he had received, unlike his former world, people here possessed varieties of eye and hair colour which he appreciated. Even he had golden eyes. The girl in front of him was dressed in a special maid outfit which was just a little bit above her knee with knee-length socks, and according to what he remembers, she wa
*Sigh*'I'm impressed. Even though you lack in many aspects, your acting is quite commendable,' her voice came into his mind once again, and even though he didn't still feel comfortable he was slowly getting used to it."I won't consider it acting since I meant most of what I said," he voiced out.'Nice point. You don't have to speak up whenever you're talking to me we're linked telepathically."Oh whatever," he shrugged.Racheal had left him earlier to inform his father of his waking up, leaving him alone once more. So he was free to check his status.[Name: Art Von SilverRace: HumanLevel: 1EXP: 0/1HP: 10/10MP: ???STR: 1AGI: 1STA: 1VIT:1INT:0Attribute: none][System remark: Pitiful]Art's lips twitched several times as his stats reminded him of a term in his former world.'Binary' "System, I refuse to accept this. Your evaluation isn't totally correct, especially the intelligence stat. I don't believe I'm that dumb. How can it be zero," he protested, and what was with th
Art walked through the long hallway with Racheal behind him. Bathing and dressing proved more difficult than he expected.He was quite surprised and relieved to see that the clothes in this world were very similar to his former.Racheal kept staring at him with worry. Moving around like this on his own was surely difficult. She insisted on helping him as usual but he refused, saying that it was just walking. She has been with him long enough to know that even walking was tiring for him. There was a time when a wheelchair was suggested but he discarded the idea saying that he wasn’t disabled. Such a stubborn boy! They arrived in a large living room which was more like a hall and he had to walk across to get to the dining room.She had a bothered expression which Art believed came from something else. Gaining the memories of the former body owner didn’t mean that he knew everything that happened in his life. The memories were filtered and similar to someone who has amnesia and is
Hours later,~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 train
