After a few hours of resting, he regained a decent amount of energy, so he decided to go meet his father.

‘What would you have done if she confessed her feelings?’ his guide asked.

“Why bring that up now?” He stood up from his bed which pleasingly didn’t lose out to that in the mansion.

‘Because I thought you would’ve brought it up, so I waited. Only to be reminded how boring you are,' her voice was laced with disappointment.

“I doubt that I’m boring. Maybe you’re the one with the problem here and as for your question. Hmmm……..” he gave it some thought. “Since she’s been sincerely helping me out since I got here, I would have avoided giving her a direct answer.”

‘You see. Boring,' she let out a sigh.

After quickly freshening up, he walked out of his room into the hallway.

Even though this was his first time being here, he already knew where he needed to go and how to get there.

His room was at the end of the hallway and there weren’t any other doors showing that he was the only one

    “Dad, it’s good to see you,” Art voiced out and silence reigned for the next one minute.“Arty!” His father exclaimed giving him a big hug. Somehow, his father covered the distance between them in an instant.“I missed you so much. I told you that you didn’t need to go for that training but you’ve always been stubborn,” his father sobbed.Art didn’t resist the hug, he knew that this was going to happen and resistance was futile.His father finally broke the hug and stared at him. “I don’t know what to say about your recovery. You don’t know how happy I am. Remember when we played that little game? What was it you told me again…..” his father seemed to be trying hard to remember. “That you would bare witness to the day I surpass you.” Art knew it, this was a test to see if he was actually the one.There was no way anyone else would know what they discussed that day and the memory was put under some sort of seal making it almost impossible for telepaths to gain that information.What

    Art was seated on the bed of his room with a big smile while looking at the things also laying with him which had just been delivered.They were orb shaped with different colours.Yes, these were E and F-rank mana cores.This was the first request he made to his father. He was still lacking magically than them and from using attributes to controlling his true weapon, he needed to improve.So he asked his father for a mixture of E and F-rank mana cores numbering up to a hundred.If he was to ask for D-rank cores or more than that amount, he would be forced to state his reason for needing them and even his father would look at him differently if he found out that he could drain mana from objects. Besides, from what his guide had told him, he doubted that he would be able to drain from anything D-rank and above. He would be using this for now.With a thought, his status appeared before him.

  • The Successor System    Arriving at the Royal Academy

    Three days went quickly and Art made the most he could out of it. At this point, he had drained mana from half of the mana cores he had received from his father. So his mana points had tripled.They were to leave for the Royal Academy today, so he had a few pieces of luggage with him.This was just for show as he could put all his belongings in his inventory, but it would be suspicious if he just went empty-handed and suddenly brought out things that weren’t provided by the school without having a spatial ring.Spatial storage devices were also present in this world but his inventory was still better.They were to head to a part of the building which contained teleportation circles used to go in and out of the mansion and he was sure to see familiar faces.The location wasn’t too far away from his room, so it only took him about 20 minutes to arrive.He walked into the large room which had multiple teleportation circles. Some teleportation circles which were for general use could be

    At first, he thought that his system was trying to make him the valedictorian, which he didn’t mind because if he worked hard like any other normal student he could achieve it.But then he realized something.His quest didn’t tell him to become the strongest student, it was to become the strongest mage.So within these 8 months, he was expected to surpass both students and staff alike which includes final years, professors, guards, etc.He looked below.[Punishment: ???]This was written in blood read, so it was either death or something close to it.Art couldn’t help but let out a bitter chuckle.‘System, you’re trying to kill me right? And my dear guide, what do you have to say about this?’[…………]‘............’‘So that’s how it is huh?’ he shook his head before focusing on the task at hand.He exited the large hall and when his gaze fell on the outside of the academy, he was pleased.“As expected from the Royal Academy.”The environment was beautified with plants like shrubs and g

    The boy looked to be about 13 years old and just by first glance anyone could tell that he was sick but something about his sickness seemed familiar.“Is he family?”The old woman looked at the boy before answering. "Not really. I found him lying on the street and decided to take him in.”“And he’s been with his sickness since you found him?” “Yes.”“How long has that been?”“A little over a year.”After hearing her last reply he walked closer to the boy, kneeling beside him.The house wasn’t big in the first place with the total amount of rooms being just 3 and there weren’t doors covering the rooms except for the main entrance which was why he sighted the boy immediately after stepping in.She watched as Art began to observe him and after some minutes he came up with several theories but the most plausible was that this boy had a similar sickness to the kind he previously had.Art’s sickness was that his core was too strong for his normal body, so it ended up eating his body away

    It took him 15 minutes to get back with only 7 minutes left before the welcome announcement.It was going to be held in the large hall which he stood in front of and after walking in over a thousand seats came into view along with the large stage in front of them.Many people were already present, some had begun familiarizing themselves with others. He quietly walked to a seat that had fewer people around before taking it. ‘Two minutes left,' he closed his eyes thinking more about the old woman and the strange white feather. She didn’t give him much to go on with and he was hesitant on collecting the feather, but his curiosity got the better of him and now it ended up in his inventory.He decided to research more about it later but he would have to do it carefully because there was still a lot of mystery behind it. When he used his inspect skill on it, the feather was a B-rank artifact which was high and powerful but he doubted that it would cause a lot of people to come after him

    Since the boys and girls section were at different areas he had to separate from Iris.The bracelet worked similarly to the one given to them during the contest so he headed towards the building his room was located.On his way there he sighted two people meters away in a hot argument and it seemed that words weren’t satisfying them any longer.“So soon. I guess things are going to get very…. Exciting here.” Art muttered.There were some onlookers but he wasn’t planning on wasting time here as he needed to read that rule and guidebook urgently to get a better grasp of the situation.“What the hell did you say?!” one of the boys in the argument with brown hair roared.“I thought the only thing pea-sized was your core but now I see your brain isn’t left out,” the other jeered loudly and not being able to take it any longer the brown-haired boy punched out but that was not all, as a stream of flame shot out from his hand.The other boy dodged the flames and now it was headed for a certai

    When he saw this at first he didn't want to jump to conclusions but after reading the book there was no doubt about it. He was one of the two missing Elites during the announcement. He opened his palm just like before and uttered two words. “Display rank.”A magical projection of two numbers hovered above his hand. [ 20 ]This was the work of the bracelet. He stared at it for some time wondering how he got such a position and the most probable conclusion he could come up with, was that the current ranking was based on the Academy’s evaluation before admitting them into the school.This would mean that they were under observation from the Royal Academy before even becoming students.In the contest, even though Beatrix, Sil, and Iris had the potential to perform better, they were not given that opportunity, so at the end of the day, the two top performers were him and Lidia because of their last clash. Most likely, they had the highest rank among the six of them.This was just a spe

    “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

    “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
