The Successor System Raid Session
Once again Art found himself seated in class. The first lecture for the day was scheduled to commence in the next few minutes.Art slowly glanced around before letting out a sigh.It was quite evident from some of their facial and body language that they had a lot of ‘fun’ last night.It was a different way than his former world, but the fact still remained that if you want to become successful you have to strive for it from an early age.Not everyone had the luxury and luck of becoming successful later on in life without earlier investments or struggle. Or at least that’s what he believed. He was still learning things from this world.Not that he cared about them tho.Just shortly after, Professor Prisca walked in. She seemed a little bit exhausted if paid close attention to.Standing in front of the class, she looked around letting out a sigh before proceeding to speak.“I’m sure you all had lots of fun yesterday. Well I have more good news for you.”The words she uttered lifted the
The Successor System Raid Session 2
“You must be very confident to barely carry anything with you for the raid,” Art voiced out staring at Viron who wore regular clothes with the only equipment he had being an iron breastplate.All the first-year students were currently in a large hall, most dressed in defensive materials and carrying weapons.There was still the fact that some students had all or more items stored in spatial storage devices. So Viron stood out in a way…, or more like the trio.Sil was dressed in light gear made from the skin of a defense-based beast. It wasn’t too strong but it provided him with the mobility needed by an archer. As for his weapons, he had a quiver strapped to his back which contained low-grade arrows, as well as a low-grade bow which he held with his left hand.Basically speaking, it seemed as tho he was going to hunt rabbits and the exhausted expression on his face made him look even more unserious.But with proper use of magic, he could deal significant damage to a D-ranked beast at
The Successor System Raid Briefing
“Gasp!”A female student covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as she stared at the figure just an arm stretch away from her.She never believed that she would end up in the same group as the person she was looking at.It wasn’t just her, her party members had similar reactions.After some seconds, she finally mustered enough courage to start a conversation.“W…well…P…Princess Elora, I find it hard to believe that we are in the same group. I promise to do the best I can to make sure that we are number one,” she voiced out with her head bowed in determination. Meanwhile, the person she was talking to seemed not to be paying attention, as her gaze was moving from side to side in search of someone.“He’s not here I guess,” she murmured shortly after with a hint of disappointment.******After getting teleported away from the large hall, members of each group found their selves in different teleportation stations.They didn’t need to go through the
The Successor System Aim the higher beasts
*Rustle* *Rustle* “Tweet” “Tweet” “Tweet” The melodies of the forest along with the cool comforting gale, and smell of nature embraced their senses. This place without doubt was brimming with life and magic energy. They were brought here through the teleportation circle that appeared below their feet, so their positions didn’t change, still arranged in parties. To some people, this was the first time they were being exposed to a forest, while to some it felt like home…, like they truly belonged here. *Inhale* Art sucked the forest wind into his nostrils before letting it out. Finally, he was free. The similar scenery brought back memories of the lovely time he spent with his wolf pack. They would truly be proud of him if they saw him now. Well, not everything around them was natural. They were also surrounded by several large tents and some structures, so without a doubt, this was going to be their camp for the raid. “Okay kids,” Verone’s voice came through again. “For th
The Successor System Useless Party Members
“Now!!”*Throw**Stab*“Squish”A sound was made as Scry, a member of Art’s party pulled out his oddly green-coloured spear from a beast.(E-rank beats killed: +450)“That makes this our 9th E-rank beast,” Ave, the archer girl voiced out.“That one was tough and we managed to get rid of it quickly, so the points naturally turned out great,” Sonra spoke after. “It’s quite unfortunate that we haven’t come across any D-rank beast. They might be a little harder to find than I thought.”‘Not bad,’ Art said internally. They were doing quite well in terms of overall performance. Even those whose combat abilities were lacking were included. This was mostly due to Sonra.She was both an excellent fighter and an impressive strategist. Excluding her and him, Ave and Scry were decent in combat. Sonra was able to identify their strengths and weaknesses and implement them as best as she could to their advantage during a fight. With this, they so far haven’t encountered many hardships while handlin
The Successor System D-rank Tailed Fox
Since the raid began, they’ve only encountered F and E-rank beasts. This would’ve given them some sort of relief, but that would’ve been before Sonra gave her speech.Since then, they’ve been hoping to meet a D-rank, but now that one has delivered itself right in front of them, they were beginning to wonder if they stood a chance.The beast in front of them could best be related to an about four-meter tall fox, completely covered with black furs, while possessing three long furry tails. It had deep yellow slitted eyes which held animosity for the humans in front of it.From its presence, anyone skilled enough could tell that this wasn’t just a regular D-rank beast. It seemed stronger.Excitement grew within Art causing a big smile to creep on his face as he unsheathed his sword and the life steal dagger.Finally, a powerful opponent was before him.After being starved from letting loose for over a month, he could barely control himself. The fight would judge whether he would be using
The Successor System Shingu
Just after the notification of his HP loss, Art wiped the trickle of blood from his lips while standing up.He watched Sonra and Scry attack the beast and was honestly surprised when it used a direct physical magic attack.After observing from his distance, he realized that truly some sort of paralyzing magic was being used on his other party members, as they’d been in the same position despite the frightened and wary look in their eyes.He also noticed something weird about Caitlyn in particular. Her eyes, hair, and the eyes of her teddy bear were all glowing bright blue.He ignored it at first and was about to go for the beast once more when a notification from his system popped up.[Potential Shingu Identified]He remembered coming across this term several times from the many books he had read.A Shingu is a summoning created when a beast is tamed and transformed into a different kind of creature.Not every tamed beast could go through this process, so finding one of these is rare.
The Successor System Crazy Assassin
Art stared at the person who just arrived, standing not too far away from Caitlyn who lay unconscious.This was the first time he had seen this person, but he could immediately tell that he was strong and dangerous.It seemed that he had tried to kill the D-rank beast just before it vanished, and if he hadn’t sent that attack, he would have succeeded.The boy who was older than Art by a few years had a constant natural flow of killing intent, and it was in fact scaryIn his current state, it would be best to avoid any kind of confrontation, but that would become inevitable if he tried to hurt the defenseless Caitlyn.Art clasped the hilt his weapons tighter, just in case.“Oh!...That expression…That fighting spirit…That will to protect…WONDERFUL! You are the one I’ve been searching for. Truly…,” his eyes narrowed with a wider grin as his killing intent rose. “I have to unalive you.”“This is bad,” Sonra muttered, wondering how she could handle this situation.“What do you mean? Who is

Rensley 2
The moment they saw the grin on Art’s face, they knew something was wrong.The guy with the cigarette was about to take a step back when a fist met him, forcing the cigarette down his throat.He fell to the ground choking profusely as his eyes turned bloodshot red.Without warning, the guy on the couch lunged toward him, throwing a wide punch. Art sidestepped effortlessly, and in one swift motion, his leg shot out to trip the guy, sending him crashing to the floor.“Whoa!” the guy in the ripped armchair yelled, jumping to his feet. “Didn’t even see him move!”“Shut it!” The guy with the toothpick barked. He charged next, aiming a low kick at Art’s shin. Art, however, was already behind him, having casually spun around. His hand shot out, grabbing the boy by the wrist and twisting it behind his back. The boy gasped as pain shot through his arm.“You guys sure you want to keep this up?” Art asked in a disturbingly calm tone.Before the boy could answer, Art raised his arm further up br

Rensley 1
After leaving the courtyard, Art returned to his original plan. There were a few people he needed to pay a visit to.He had worked hard up to this point—gaining strength, overcoming the Academy's barriers, and learning runic teleportation, especially since he lacked the attribute required for it.But there was still one last problem, his presence at the Academy. If he didn’t make contact with others within a week, they would surely come looking for him. This had happened several times over the past month during his period of solitude. The staff would visit his room, ask a few questions, and check on his well-being. While it was nice on their part, it had become a nuisance.And then there was the issue of the Relis.If he left the Academy’s premises while still carrying the Relis, it would give away his location if he stayed too close. If he went too far, the Academy would notice the signal loss. To resolve this, he needed two specific attributes to copy using his new skill. But the re

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
