Every place has its Gods. And there were four main facts about them: ● Many beings could become Gods. It was a mysterious process that was unknown even to the wises Wizards. Creatures, plants, rivers, places –– even objects and weather patterns –– all of these could develop divine spirits over time. ● Gods are tied to places. Once a spirit becomes a God, it is restricted in its movement to its sacred place – a forest glade, a cave, a bend in the river, and so on. They could not leave…-

Sitting at the very last was also a bad move on my part since I was sure that all attention would be on me. When Lina sat, I shot straight to my feet and stammered out my name. "H-hello, my name is C-Cross." I heard laughter and murmurs, and I was off to a great start. Mind the sarcasm. Way to go for making another impression after my blunder with the meat thing in the cafeteria yesterday night. "Do you have any aspirations, C-Cross?" Teacher Fey called out to me jokingly, and the others laughed…

"So tell us . . . what went into your brain and ordered meat when you know that you're a noob and that your CR is almost gone. Are you like rich and have a lot of gil, perhaps?" Zhang asked straight to the point. I got the impression that this individual would ruin my day out of sheer spite. I drew a deep breath. I guess ordering that meat was really a big deal. I think I was the only noob here who did it, so they were curious, if not, jealous. Hyden elbowed Zhang while laughing. "Sorry about this…

"I want you to leave Thomas alone," I said straight to the point, and before they had the chance to refute, I added, "I'll pay you one thousand gil every days for the rest of our stay here." I saw hope when Edie and the others paused and looked at each other. Men were moved by two levels only: fear and self-interest. At least the latter work in my favor. I ignored it. Edie and his group then whispered to themselves before Edie squinted his eyes at me. "You have that kind of money, newbie?" I…

I hadn't had a wink of sleep thinking about this Academy, but no idea came to mind as to how to resolve my problems. I was still in the same position, with the same problem. That's the problem. I lamented. My other self tweak my ATP too much that it would be suspicious if I suddenly killed a beast alone. Not to mention that my other self made enemies against players that he shouldn't have. Was it a sin to share a meal with others? He could just order again! He had more than a million gil, for…

Thank you to for the super gift, and everyone who supported the story. 🙏💗 ---- "Those three are newbies, and they entered this school at the same time as you," said Jorge, looking at Edie's group. "Be careful about those three, it's only their first day in here, and they already bullied some newbies for their points. They have the guts because Edie's brother is a teacher here and had already more than a hundred in ATP. "So if I were you . . . I would stay clear from those bunch." Too late…

"That's reassuring," Thomas sighed. "At least there's someone with authority in here that would defend us." "And that's it," Jorge concluded. "Huh? That's it?" I questioned. I felt like I got scammed. I thought he would tell us a lot but what he told us wasn't even worth 1000 gil! "Teacher Fey is the only one we could befriend here?" Thomas stuttered, tears pooling beneath his eyes, and any moment now, he would slump on the floor and cry his heart out. "In the first place. There are not many players…

"His commanding presence drew men to him, yet he had no friends. Women were drawn to him but he showed no interest. He is the youngest son of House Volmont, Edward Volmont. One of the four powerful houses here in the Kingdom of Rustin. "The four houses are the backbone of this country, and their influence is second only to the Church. Even the King and Queen of this country are no match for their power. They could usurp the throne if they wanted to. "But rumors had it that they needed a puppet to sit…

Thomas wasn't convinced, though, and he even suggested. "I know. I'll treat you to meals tomorrow." I think that he wasn't going to let this go until he made it up to me. So it was best that I would calm his mind first. "Its fine, Thomas. I have gil with me, so I won't be getting any hungry anytime soon." I just hope that he wouldn't ask how much. ". . . You sure?" Thomas asked on the verge of crying. "Yes. Trust me. I'm not that stupid to deplete all my CR without a backup plan." Though I was an…

After going back to the dorms and taking a quick bath, we changed our clothes to a more comfortable ones like long sleeve shirts and trousers and some comfortable sleepers we bought in the market. It was cheap and only cost us about 100 CR for two pairs of shirts and pants. It had been so long since I last changed into something different. The newbie garbs were nice and all, but I felt that they were so dirty because I hadn't had the chance to clean them since my journey here. I took this chance to…
