The Successor System Underground Training
Art was standing in front of the door which led to the underground arena.Others came here to train or spar almost every day but he hasn’t gone in for months due to low self-esteem and the mockery he received (not actually him). Today was going to be different.As he walked closer, the door opened by itself revealing a long staircase heading downwards.He walked forward and just as he placed his foot on the first stair the whole staircase all the way to the end got lightened up by designs of lines on the wall. Some were curly, some wavy, mostly intertwining It was a very beautiful sight.With a smile on his face, he descended the stairs and when he reached the end the underground arena also got lightened up.It was a battle arena with rows of seats that rose in steps around a spherical open space.The rows of seats weren’t much as it wasn’t meant to occupy a large number of people in the first place. He looked around making sure that he was alone as he didn’t plan on holding back.
The Successor System Caught!
“Y-You,” she stammered staring at him with eyes widened in disbelief.She had watched everything that happened and was shocked to see how the boy who had been looked down upon for his weakness performed. Art himself was shocked because he made sure to check if anyone was around before fighting and now he was staring at someone seated. If anyone came through the stairs he would’ve noticed and put on an act but she seemed to have just appeared. She had short silver wavy hair with green eyes and was the shy girl who felt sad whenever he was bullied and he had barely seen her since that first-morning breakfast. Wait! That’s not meant to be so, there are several occasions where they should’ve met but he doesn’t remember seeing her, for example, the announcement that just happened a while ago, he remembers seeing everyone’s face but not hers. The former body owner also had similar experiences. It turns out that she can conceal her presence, not being noticeable unless a lot of attenti
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

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

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. He had grown slightly taller and loo

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

We'll definitely save them.
“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
