"Husband, are you sure you want to go there alone?" Jane asked, cuddling Arthur's head. "Yes. You two need to focus on reaching rank four. You are close, right? After that, we can fight side-by-side against the other rank four mages. Before that, it is too dangerous!" Arthur wanted to have his wives near him, but he would confront two rank-four mages, and both Wisa and Jane were almost reaching rank-four, but they weren't quite there yet. So it would be best if he went to the Von Stein family alone. "We…

The elves in that tribe could not stop talking about the mysterious youth in their tribe and the accusations toward their current chief. It was not something that had happened in a long time, and for the first time in many years, the position of the tribe's chief could change before the chief's retirement. Arthur was happy with the development — not having to fight against multiple enemies — but he was still careful toward the older man who had the power of a peak rank-three mage. Why? No one could…
-
They all passed through the portal, leading into a random forest part. Arthur did not live in the area where the elves lived, so he had no idea where he was, and not even the three female elves knew for sure. Speaking of them, it was time to part ways after they all got out of the Dark Forest. Not a sad departure, as no one got too attached, and their meeting was just a big coincidence. "It's a good thing me and Jake are linked after he sold his soul. I can use the mark to find his location," thought…

After the elf died horribly, Arthur went close to the body and absorbed its essence. That was what he needed to do to complete his technique, allowing him to return to the living world fully. His aura of a rank-three mage vanished as the elf turned into a mummy, and its essence went directly toward the rune carved on Arthur's skin. It was just a temporary level-up, one Arthur lost after completing the technique, but he was not feeling down because of it, as it was a great spell that saved his…

The elf did not attack again, only looking at Arthur with a puzzled face, not knowing how Arthur had done what he did. While he had many thoughts about it, Arthur was more concerned about the technique he would use. It was insanity, and not many people would try that. "You need to die, and then the technique will activate. Your power will increase, and you have thirty minutes to kill someone with similar strength, or you will die." That was the description of the technique Arthur wanted to use. With it,…

After witnessing what he had done, the elves did not want to make eye contact with Arthur. No one could blame them for that, as the thing in front of them looked terrifying -- their worst nightmare. Arthur knew he could not last long fighting, so he chose to keep going while his body still responded. So he flew toward them, wielding his spear, and pierced it through some of the elves before they got their senses back together and retaliated. More spells went in Arthur's direction, and the remaining part…

"Huh?" The elves inside the temple already knew something strange was happening outside after one of them went missing while patrolling. Still, they never expected the enemy to be right before them! "Enemy! Prepare for battle!" It was surprising how fast those elves entered a battle formation, none of which mattered because Arthur was there to fight to kill! He moved his hand, and the crimson-red spear in the elf's torso flew back to him. Arthur looked back to the corridor where he came from, and all…

The blood from beasts was not ideal for Arthur, but he did not complain and returned to the cabin before sunrise. When he returned, the three elves were still sleeping and looked fine, which was good. Arthur now knew it was not the beast who killed the elven prisoners but the elves themselves, trying to use their lives to practice black magic. "I should take them with me through that portal the beast talked about; after that, they can do whatever they want." So, he went to his improvised bed and tried…
-
The pain was terrible; it sucked, but Arthur had faced many hardships throughout his new life, so it would not kill him. It took him five minutes of so much pain he rolled on the cave's ground while the beast just looked at him. After it was over, no system notification popped up — Arthur's second body did not have it — but he could still feel the difference! His eye now had a different pupil with the shape of a star. "What does this eye do?" Arthur asked. "You will get better at it with time and…

"What the hell is that thing?" thought Arthur, exchanging gazes with the mysterious creature. The three female elves had spoken about the creature, so its appearance was something Arthur knew. Yet, it still gave him chills to look at it personally. But they had also told him about the creature's lack of vision, and it was clear that was not true! If the beast could see him there, then it had seen the three elves yet decide not to kill them — for some unknown reason, Arthur had yet to find out. "What…
