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
The Successor System The 4th
“Why are you losing?”Art didn’t know how he was supposed to answer such a question.It was clear that he was currently the weaker one, so it was only natural to be on the losing side.Although he had a plan that might’ve turned things in his favour just before the dagger hit, it only had a 20 percent chance of working, so he was thankful for the interference.“Rhan? What are you doing here? I had everything under control,” Art casually said while standing up on both feet. It hurt like hell but he had to put up this front.He had fought against the person who just saved him during the deliver the crystal assessment. Their battle wasn’t concluded back then.“It didn’t seem that way to me. But don’t worry I won’t let anyone get you until I do,” he smirked.“Party pooper or not, I’m glad that you could join the party. Now, prepare to die as well,” Vlarth’s expression became even more sinister as the pressure of his killing intent spread around.‘Just how many people has he killed?’ Rhan
The Successor System Determined Mage
“Asura!!!” Uramia screamed approaching the group she almost wiped out.‘Was she the one who attacked us? That would make sense. But why?’ the party leader thought easily recognizing the person moving towards them.Uramia had adoration in her eyes while approaching Asura, popularly known as the lilac ice queen.She was the only female ranked above her, that Uramia could stare at with such expression in her eyes.“What was that about,” Asura asked with a neutral expression. If she had miscalculated the amount of mana needed to be put into the spell she cast, her party members would’ve been in a dire situation.“A-Are they people over there?” their party leader asked, not very confident.Uramia didn’t like being casually spoken to by people she considered weak, but since they were party members of Asura, they ultimately had her respect.“Yes,” she nodded. “They are at the other end of the attack. Two elite members are there, as well as a former elite.” ‘That’s quite the gathering,' thei

A New Resolve
It took Caitlyn even longer than expected to find Valor.Back in the dream, the fox had told her to find him. She was pretty sure it had been referring to Valor—after all, he was the only male soul summoner in the entire school.Ultimately, she found him seated alone in a secluded building, his posture slumped, a defeated expression clouding his face.Well, considering he had actually been defeated two days ago, it wasn’t all that surprising.He was so lost in thought that he only noticed her when she got very close.His gaze shifted toward her, his brows furrowing. "Who are you?" he asked, frowning."Uh—sorry to bother you. My name is Caitlyn Slerh. I'm a summoner, also in the first year." She figured he wouldn’t recognize her since he rarely attended classes. "I’d like you to help me with summoning magic.""You’ve really got some nerve," he scoffed. "Leave before I get any angrier.""I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I need to tackle my problem if I want to keep up with him. Please he
Fox Soul Summon
Shallow breaths escaped along with gasps as the darkness around a girl twisted into a white landscape.She stood at the center of the brightly lit scenery, a thick white mist curling around her ankles. It felt both cold and hot at the same time.Faint echoes of whispers drifted from the distance beyond.Suddenly, a deep growl rumbled through the air.Her body tensed as she slowly turned.And there it stood before her—a towering nine-tailed fox with gleaming white fur. Its crimson eyes burned like embers, and each of its nine tails swayed along with the wind.She tried to step back, but she found herself unable to move.The fox advanced, its massive paws making no sound as it circled her."Why are you scared?" A soft, layered feminine voice slithered through her mind.Her eyes widened, her breathing becoming faster and more labored."W-Who are you?" she barely managed to whisper."I am the one you freed and saved. I am sincerely grateful for that, so I shall dedicate myself to serving
The Cost of Escape
*Pant**Pant**Pant*Art slowly brought his breathing under control. He had been so close to dying once again.He placed a hand on his damp, bloodied chest. He had managed to escape by using the space swap attribute he copied to switch places with the clone he left in the forest. Normally, the space swap attribute didn’t work over such long distances, but it works specially well with the clone attribute since the clone carried the same mana signature as him. So, It was successful—though at an immense cost.The technique had drained a large amount of his mana, leaving his MP low. He had also timed it as perfectly as he could, but she had been too fast, managing to partially pierce him before the switch.If he had been even an instant slower, he would be dead by now."I need to leave," he muttered, pushing himself up and staggering away. This place had nearly killed him twice—he had no intention of returning.Art navigated through the forest, even though he had no real idea where he wa
Marked by the Kyusei
Art’s grip on his weapon weakened slightly at the sight of the person staring down at him.From the inscriptions on her eye, he could tell—she was part of that group.And judging by the sheer presence she exuded, she was powerful. Very powerful.Fighting was out of the question."Is something wrong?"Another voice drifted in.'Wait… there’s two of them?' Art’s panic grew, now visible on his face. 'I didn’t even notice either of them…'"Yes. Someone’s here," the woman responded, narrowing her eyes at him. "Though I’m still debating whether he’s here on purpose… or if he’s just lost. Because coming here at that level of strength would be incredibly stupid."Art didn’t even have the luxury of feeling insulted.His mind was working at full speed, trying to figure out how to leave here alive.The second figure—the male—arrived at the scene, his gaze settling on Art.His eyes had an eerie, faint blue glow, and like the woman, he bore those same strange inscriptions. It seemed to be a shared
Remains of the Grand War
Art stared at the little chest for several seconds. 'Is it safe to touch that?'After contemplating for what felt like a minute, he decided against opening it now, opting to store it away for later. With a flick of his wrist, the chest vanished into his storage device.Once he finished collecting everything, he placed them inside the larger spatial device he had bought.Now, it was time to check the ruins.There was a chance they held clues—fragments of history that could tell him more about the battle that took place here.Anything that could provide insight into the Grand War.He exited the central building moments later, stepping into the ruins once more.Unlike before, there was no lingering sensation of being watched.Only silence.An eerie stillness hung in the air as Art cautiously made his way through the crumbling remains of what had once been a grand city.The walls, faded with time, bore cracks and scars from the past. Vines crept over the structures, slowly reclaiming the
Back to the city
Art carefully navigated the forest, mindful not to lose his way.He had planned ahead before now, placing the teleportation circle in a spot that would make this journey easier.After a few minutes, he arrived at the area where he had once fought seventeen D-rank beasts. Much of the mess had been covered by vegetation and nature, but the site was still recognizable.A good sign—he was on the right track.Before long, he reached the stream where he and Asura had fought.It was just as beautiful as before, though he had no time to admire it.‘I believe it was there.’ His gaze settled on the tree where she had told him to meet her. Without hesitation, he headed in that direction.Then, he noticed something."Hmm?"Looking up, he spotted several beasts perched in the trees, staring down at him.They were D-rank beasts, clearly hungry, but none of them dared to move closer—let alone attack.Their instincts and intelligence warned them otherwise.Art ignored them and continued walking.Afte
Out of the Academy
Two days later, A girl with bright pink, pigtailed hair leaned against a wall, her arms crossed. Seated beside her was a black-haired boy with a scarred cheek."You're telling me he's gotten that strong in just a few months?" Karen, the number one Elite, asked, his tone laced with curiosity."Yep. I saw it myself. Not only can he use the Silver special arts, but he also wields rune magic decently well. Honestly? I’m not even sure who's stronger between us." Uramia’s eyes flickered with interest at her own words.Even after Art’s fight, more surprises had followed."And it's not just him. There was another one. Another Silver. He caught me off guard the most. You should keep an eye on them.""If what you're saying is true, then even I would struggle to handle them alone," Karen admitted, looking up at her. "I might need your assistance."Uramia met his gaze with an unreadable expression before bursting into laughter."I’ll lend a little assistance here and there, but don’t expect much
Declaration
"You wish! Don't think you'll just have your way. This isn't over yet!" Valor spat. "Go!"His C-rank summon charged at Art once more, its sheer presence pressing down on the spectators. Many students shifted uncomfortably in their seats, intimidated by its raw power. But Art? He didn’t even move.The summon closed in fast, one of its heated appendages whipping forward, aiming straight for Art’s forehead.About two months ago, back during the raid, this attack would have seemed overwhelmingly fast. But now?It was nothing.Casually, Art stretched out his blackened right arm, catching the appendage mid-strike—right at its burning hot-spot.A scream echoed across the arena.But it wasn’t from Art.The beast recoiled in agony, thrashing wildly. It lashed out with its second appendage, but Art dodged effortlessly, then twisted his grip and slammed the creature into the ground. A deep crack spread from the impact.The summon screeched, struggling to break free. Its flailing tails radiated i
The Beauty of Power
The C-rank summon charged forward furiously.Just by running, its paws and claws left deep marks on the ground.Many students watching were disturbed by its presence. To think Valor would summon something this powerful for just a spar—it was absurd. But despite its ferocity, the beast only showed interest in Art, proving that Valor had complete control over it.The summon was a four-limbed creature resembling a massive hound, but it had two additional appendages sprouting from its back. These thick, tail-like structures ended in razor-sharp points, radiating immense heat. A strike from them wouldn’t just cut—it would sear flesh instantly.Art steadied his stance, his true weapon shifting into a long spear as he faced both the beast and its summoner. Valor smirked, gripping his short sword tightly as he advanced in tandem with his summon.The beast lunged first, its molten tails whipping toward Art with deadly speed. He dodged, pivoting on his heel to evade the searing strikes. Counter
