The Successor System The First Activity
The next day arrived and Art was currently heading to class after breakfast at the cafeteria. He wasn’t alone with Viron and Sil behind him.He had turned them down but Viron was stubborn and here they were.“I wonder how class is going to be today.” Viron was excited and not just him, a lot of people felt this way.Art shook his head. If only the children in his former world were as dedicated and enthusiastic towards learning like this then the world would’ve been a better place. He didn’t blame them as the learning here was more thrilling.Well, that could only be said about mage classes.When they got to class Art separated from them and it began shortly after.Professor Stein didn’t talk about much today with only little things to note down and after the short break, it was time for the mage classes.Professor Prisca walked in and everyone was looking forward to what she would teach them today.“Good morning class. I hope you’ve all gotten familiar with your group because today
The Successor System Deliver the crystal
Just like that, 3 matches got concluded.The first match ended with Alphah Team A’s victory, the second was a tie, and the third ended with Charlie Team C’s victory.They all performed excellently and a lot of formidable people came to light. Now, Art’s team was up. They were all standing in their home which was the 4 meters radius circle, waiting for Professor Prisca to give the signal. Art checked out the faces of his teammates and was surprised to see the lilac ice princess.A lot of people grew confident since she was on their team. She ended up joining Alphah group after her queue got distributed. They had earlier changed from their uniforms into clothes more suitable for fighting.It was a skin-tight flexible material so the curves of girls were even more visible.Some boys even lost the purpose of what they came here for. Theirs was white with blue stripes while their opponent was black with red stripes.Just before the signal was given Art received a ‘package’ from t
The Successor System Plan B: Part 1
He was just a few inches away from achieving his goal, his purpose.He remembered his quest’s punishment and failure was definitely not an option. It was just seconds left......., seconds! But then, this had to happen. ‘Must be telekinesis.’ His eyes quickly darted around as he found the one responsible for this. A girl with long dark brown hair and jade eyes and she had a sadistic smile on her face while staring at him. Art cast a pleading gaze at her because right now, he was suspended mid-air with his hands stretched a few inches away from the crystal.He was literally begging to be annihilated and he could feel it…………, the glares of the opposing team. It was only a matter of seconds before he gets blasted to oblivion.The sadistic grin on her face broadened as he felt the attacks moving towards him.‘Is this karma,' he thought before making sure to memorize her face.“BOOOOOMMMM!!!”Another large explosion occurred as a certain someone was sandwiched between attacks and he fe
The Successor System Plan B: Part 2
Art could tell, he expected this. So it wasn't surprising when the guy who grabbed the crystal and hoped for his legs to have the privilege of embracing the ground got met with a lightning bolt mid-air.No one cares about what remained of him as their gazes were fixed on the crystal which had left his hand and was now sailing through the air. Nobody moved from their spot as they trailed the crystal with their eyes up until it fell on the ground.After that, they began glancing at each other in silence. Some seconds later the first person to move was a girl and she didn’t complete her second step before attacks began flying around.Art had to step back to think more about how to tackle the situation.He looked towards Professor Prisca to see her happily jotting away. She was obviously enjoying the moment.Art focused back on the competition.He watched as several people from both teams gained the crystal in an attempt to run for their home only to lose it again.Asura had also stepp
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

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
