"Status!" I ordered mentally. Ding! A 3D model of my body, floating next to a crimson-red, translucent, game profile-like screen, appeared in front of me. ──────────────────────── ──────────────────────── Since I first entered this Arcedian world exactly 7 years ago, a lot has changed on my status panel. My age is the first thing that has changed, followed by my rank,…

Steeline Dukedom. Sari City, Steeline Castle. 17th December, 1000. A young boy with golden blonde hair, green eyes, and snowy white skin, who was an exact replica of his mother, was walking down the hallway that connected the training grounds with the housing area of the castle. He was saturated in perspiration and was dressed in a blue vest and black shorts even though it was the winter season, clearly signifying his great exhaustion after a rigorous training session. Exactly! You guessed it…

Sleeping in my crib, I was startled awake by the sudden notification from the system and cursed it as soon as I woke up. "Yun sob! f a ych... Say£stem" My vocal cords were still not developed enough to properly curse, but I was able to voice out some incomprehensible words that were more funny and cute than some angry curses. ~Phew! After taking a long breath and regaining my bearings, I realised that cursing wouldn't accomplish much, so I concentrated on the system's notification. Finally, six…

This was the first thing I noticed after gaining consciousness in this new world. However, before I could even react to the identity of my new world, I experienced a push as everything began to squeeze around me and push me from my back towards my head. Fortunately, after a few minutes of relentless effort, I was finally able to feel the surrounding air and the hands of the person who was holding me up. Though, before I could properly settle the news of my safe birth in my mind, ~Smack! My back…

Loading...] . . . As soon as I regained consciousness, I attempted to gaze around me with my nonexistent eyes. But what I actually saw was nothing at all. In the void's emptiness, which was devoid of all substance and light, even the up, down, right, and left directions were impossible for me to find, and since I couldn't even feel my feet, I didn't even sense gravity's pull. No! Actually, it's not just the gravity or my feet; I was unable to feel anything. I was only able to…

Someone once told me, "The greatest irony of life is that it only truly begins when we have something worth dying for." However, when I heard this, I was constrained by the matrix of society. I couldn't see the truth and had already worked hard my entire life. To be successful, you must amass wealth, power, and beautiful women. But all I got was failure after failure. People claimed that I didn't focus on the right things or that I wasn't diligent enough, but there was only one plausible…

Leif awaited the inevitable arrival of his enemy in the clearing of swords, sensing the uncomfortable prickling against his aura as it grew closer and closer. A family of birds roosting in a nearby tree panicked as the overbearing scent of blood washed through the forest, only to fall to the ground, dead seconds after taking flight. Even the grass seemed to shudder, the tiny creatures living among the verdant blades and below in the moist soil shrivelling up and dying, drained of vitality. A swarm of…

There were several ways one might react to having the connection to their family threatened. Shock was expected, anger understandable, fear reasonable. Since his rebirth, Leif had experienced all three, but the mental smothering on his emotional state due to his inhuman physiology had largely kept him in check. From what snippets of his past life Leif could recall, his younger, human self had been tutored in a manner that would tame emotional outbursts. Of course, that hadn’t stopped that version of…

Kurt held the canal grate open as the last of their skulking party ducked through, exiting the city without alerting the authorities. They had lost little time in gathering the few members of Luriem’s seedy underbelly that both met the power threshold, and owed him favours or debts. An hour after the meeting with Fracture they had gathered, the three red robed guilders now thoroughly outnumbered by the eleven gangers and thugs they had conscripted. Kurt itched to resist their demands, to spit in their…

Norman had been having a bad month. The quadriad and the many preparations that needed to be completed prior to its commencement were a pain, though necessary. While Fracture boasted several powerful members and branches all across the vast territories of Merkys, they were far from the only power. For one of their own to hold the position of Spire Head at the Academy was a massive boon for their organisation, and much of that came from the direct increase in recruitment. He had been scouted during his…
