The Successor System New Quests
While heading to class, Art released a sigh because of the amount of APs hovering above his hand.//2691//(« Things displayed from the Relis or any device would be written like this from now on) He made it just before the time elapsed, securing victory for Alphah Team B in yesterday’s activity, hereby raising his amount of APs as well as completing the mission and leveling up.This also gave his teammates 2000 APs so some of them came fawning over him after their victory and he could also remember it. The hateful glares cast at him from Charlie Team A members. He shook his head. This was going to affect their comradeship.Alphah group and Charlie group both ended up with two team victories while Deltah and Betah had one.Because of the tie, no group gained the additional 1000 EXP.Such bullshit.He was going alone without Viron and Sil, and today they were to have their first specialized classes. It was mostly to get to know their teachers and also familiarize them with classmates.
The Successor System Teacher vs Students
After securing that, he headed to the building where the summoning class was to be held. He was still confused about why the system wanted him to learn about all these attributes.If it was only the elemental class he would understand because of his earth attribute.Pondering on this wasn’t going to take him anywhere so he stopped.“This must be it,” he muttered, in front of a building before walking in. There were two large rooms in this building. Each was mostly consumed by a large open space which was surrounded by chairs. Several people were already seated in one of the rooms which were meant for weapon summoners and the other was for familiar summoners but it was empty for now.Iris, Beatrix, Ryan, Lidia, and eight more people he didn’t know were here.This meant that all four classes were merged.Sil was absent, most likely crashing somewhere. So he was the 13th person to arrive.Beat
The Successor System Challenge
Art was seated on a bench while massaging his wrist. The truth was that it had ended up broken from their little spar, or better put………greeting.So much for fulfilling all righteousness. The funny part of this was that Elise barely touched any of them.Her skills were exceptional even without the use of any weapon.They were the ones who ended up hurting themselves and he came out in a much better state than most of them.As for Beatrix, he hoped that she was doing better now.Things got really rough.He had taken an E-rank healing pill which was why it still felt a bit numb.It’s been a week since this happened and many challenges have been issued and fought since the release of the ranking three days ago.Most people were still hesitant on challenging the Elites, so only a few challenges were sent at them which were all ignored.Well, that was except for one person.Yeap!It was him.He had received many visitors since he was the lowest-ranked Elite but he also ignored their chal
The Successor System Rejection and Loss
They found it hard to believe what they had just heard.“Did he just reject?”“I think I heard something like that.”“I’m pretty sure he said reject.”“Maybe it just slipped.” The crowd murmured while occasionally glancing at the figure seated.“What did you just say?” Javik asked in confusion. There was no way someone can just throw away their elite title just like that right?”“Let me just remind you, refusing would…”“I’m very much aware of that. I don’t feel like fighting,” he casually said as a beeping sound came from his and Javik's watch.A little bit hesitant, Javik stretched out his hand. “Display rank.” His eyes widened seeing the bold ‘20’ hovering above it.‘He became an elite… just like that.’He was completely satisfied with this but what was done was done. He stared intensely at Art trying to read what he was thinking but he couldn’t.The casual and unbothered expression on his face never faltered. Seeing this situation hopeless, there was no need for him to stay a
The Successor System Parallel World 1
“Since you’ve all gotten a better grasp on summoning your true weapon, we would move on to the next phase,” Elise said to the teenagers sitting in front of her. Their attentions were completely fixed on her as they wondered what she had next.Elise had become more devoted to teaching them. For her, they were more than what she could ask for. She was astounded when she found out the abilities of their true weapons which nature even rivals that of the current pillars, including her.This was one of the best generations ever produced and she was sure that they were destined for great things, which would come with many challenges, so she was willing to guide them as best as she could.If she didn’t deem them fit, she won’t even think of wasting any additional second of her time so she didn’t hold back any information which they could handle while teaching them.“This weapon is a bit special,” she said holding onto a dagger that was purple with little spikes protruding from the hilt.“It
The Successor System Parallel World 2
He looked towards what grabbed his leg to see a black hand that stuck out of the ground. His eyes widened as a sword also pierced out of the ground heading towards his forehead. He managed to react on time shifting his head which caused him to obtain a graze and after pulling out his leg, while creating some distance, he placed his hand on his cheek which had blood trickling down.“I can bleed? How is this possible?” he felt the sting of the cut which proved his earlier assumption of also feeling pain.“And what’s going on here?”A figure began forming from the ground and when this was finished, standing in front of him was a 7 feet tall black and golden striped figure with a great sword at hand.It looked human but its facial features were undefined. It had no private organs either.He didn’t need to be enlightened on the hostility of the thing in front of him. In a way, he had already been.He wondered if this was some sort of test and if so, if was really dangerous and he was sti
The Successor System Hello, number 20
“This is no way to treat a master. I’ll make sure to give that kid a scolding when I see him,” he muttered in annoyance while stretching his hand to grab the weapon. Seeing that he won’t be able to do that before meeting the ground or better put, the punch which has been prepared for him, he opted for something different.He was in no state to tank a punch like that, so he decided to also go on the offensive. His hand gave off the golden glow once more and he punched out releasing a golden beam that slammed into the figure releasing a large explosion with the ground cracking.They were both forced back as a wry smile appeared on Art’s face. Two more fingers were now broken and his hand was barely saved from dislocation.But it wasn’t for nothing as the figure had its forearm completely blown away along with some part of its face and trunk.His gaze drifted to the sword lying 6 meters besides him. He wasted no time to run and grab it. “Must’ve felt good huh? Let’s see how you fare,”
The Successor System The Power of the 1st ranked
“Hello number 20, or wait, you don’t deserve to be called that anymore,” the boy in front of him smirked. Who else would this be but Karon, the number 1. Probably, he came for revenge for what happened last time. With the way Art lost his rank, he now probably deems him as a coward who creates a false sense of mystery to hide his weakness, but Art wasn’t expecting him to come this soon.He just stood still without uttering a word as some of the lackeys who came with Karen began to surround him.Even in his former life, he was never bullied by anyone. The bullying experience that he received was from the former body owner and he didn’t plan on experiencing that again.“Still have that unbothered expression right? Well, too bad 'cause that won’t be helping you this time.” Karon drew closer to him. Except for him, every other person here was quite alert as they were attempting to bully a former Elite whose power is unknown. It was normal for someone like him to have all these follower

Formed Pact
"How did he find out?" Art mumbled while chewing on a fruit. Garron had seen right through him before leaving—clearly, a man who'd dealt with plenty of children and teenagers in his life.Night had fallen, and the synchronized chorus of insects performed a gentle orchestral hum across the forest.Art was currently lying on the thick branch of a large tree, his gaze fixed on the dark sky overhead.This tree would serve as his home for the night, as he had decided not to return to Yuh’s family house. At this point, there wasn’t much reason to go back.Maybe they were expecting him tonight, which, disappointing them on his part, wasn’t great—but sometimes, plans got ruined by circumstance.After everything he had learned, wandering around—especially at night—wouldn’t be the safest move for him anymore.He stared down at the fruit in his hand, his expression shifting into a frown. Not long ago, he was indulging in mouth-watering meals and warm beds. Now, he was stuck with fruit.Sure, he
A ticket to revenge
"I'm sorry for your loss. But I think you're making a mistake," Art said firmly. "You decided to throw your talent away because she was killed? Isn't that the same as letting her killer go free?"Garron's face dropped. "You never justified her death. Her killer must be out there, living quite the life.""You think I'm okay with that? There’s nothing I can do!" Garron burst out in a mix of sadness and frustration. "Trying to get revenge would only lead to more death.""And why is that?" Art pressed.Garron let out a sigh. "That armor I made for her, along with the artifacts, were the best I could produce. If her opponent destroyed even those... then anything else I make would be useless.""So, let me get this straight. You stopped crafting because you feel guilty for causing Jira's mother’s death, and you think your skills aren’t good enough to help bring her killer to justice?"Seeing no response, Art shook his head in disappointment. "So if there was a chance to help get rid of the
Wasting potential
Art navigated more carefully as he searched for the blacksmith.He couldn’t afford to reveal his identity. He paid close attention to his surroundings, making sure he wasn’t being followed.So far, nothing seemed out of place.But he knew his abilities in the outside world still weren’t sharp enough to trust completely.It took longer than if he had just asked openly, but he finally found the building the boy described. A massive, bleached dragon skull hung above the door, suspended by chains that glowed faintly with runic symbols. Its eye sockets flickered with soft blue light, as if watching everyone nearby.He glanced around cautiously."That must be it," he muttered, eyeing another building nearby before walking over.Art stopped in front of the building, now confident he’d found the right place.The building was tucked between two larger structures, yet it had a more special presence.Made from polished blackstone and silverwood, the shop had faintly glowing etchings across its s
Mistaken Identity
Art walked back to where he’d left Kira.She immediately ran toward him the moment he came into view.Art could tell that staying alone was still very uncomfortable triggering for her after everything she’d gone through. "Are you alright?" he asked.She simply nodded, and they both left the area together.Art's next destination was to find an artifact blacksmith.Unlike weapon blacksmiths, who worked on creating or recreating weapons and armor, artifact blacksmiths handled other magical items—like the masks he had. Some blacksmiths were skilled enough to excel in both areas.But there was no way he’d find a good blacksmith in this place. He needed to go deeper into the city, to the mage districts—and taking Kira with him wouldn’t be ideal."Umm... Kira. I have to go to the main city. Do you know which teleportation station leads there?"She described the directions for him. "I'm guessing I can't go with you?""Yeah. It won't be very safe for you," he replied. "Would you be okay going
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
