When the buses stopped, Alice got off without looking back once more. She disappeared into the crowd and I couldn't see where she was going, but I didn't think anything about her, as I had decided on the bus. Everyone on the buses got off and got into a random line. Meanwhile, I looked around. We were in a big area, a really big area. Apart from us, I could see many other buses belonging to other academies and universities. People I didn't know were getting off and lining up like us. Students,…

The grass I was lying on... was even more comfortable than it should have been. So much so that it made me think that I couldn't move a muscle because they were so comfortable, rather than what I was experiencing in that dark infinity a few seconds ago... And not only that. Although there was strangely no 'sun' in the deep blue, endless sky just above me, the warmth, the light I didn't even know where it was coming from and so much more... literally everything was perfect. So, I didn't do anything, I…

I may have been stunned for a brief moment... but I recovered quickly, my eyes widening involuntarily at Celine's confirmation. "Wait... was it really you in the rumors?" Celine finally let go of the wrist she was rubbing. Sighing again, she stood up, this time with her hood completely undone. Her brown hair was longer than before, past her shoulder blades, though it didn't reach her waist. Whereas she used to have a fit body, now... she seemed a little thinner. But what really surprised me was…

The festival is just one week away... Almost everyone around me, people I know and don't know, became strangely excited as the day of the festival drew closer. It wasn't hard to understand why. The fact that an annual event was happening again, especially after the recent events, was a chance for many to let loose. It was like that for me too, actually. I was looking forward to this 'festival' day with curiosity and excitement. After all, it was the first time in my life that I was going to attend…

'Why?' This question echoed in my whole being. In the endless darkness, unable to understand anything... it suddenly appeared. But... it was not directed at me. It was also a strangely familiar voice. 'Why...?' I heard the same voice once more. It reached me through the darkness, this time much more emphatically. Not just in my presence... this time echoing everywhere. Then, another voice answered it. A voice much deeper, much more ancient. 'You already know the answer.' It had the…

The color of the snow-white corridors was so simple, the space I was walking in so... empty in this all-pervasive color, that a strange feeling of discomfort overcame me. Still, I didn't let myself get too carried away by this feeling, instead, I decided to be patient. I sighed lightly, turning my eyes this way and that, wondering if I would see anything different in the corridors we had walked so far, and this time I looked at the two people walking slowly in front of me, the dwarves. The first was…

When I had finished transferring almost half of my mana to the strange disk in my hand, I let out a deep sigh, placed it in my bracelet, and took a deep breath. 'Why did you stop halfway? You would normally go all the way to the end.' 'I'm just... thinking, Lithoa.' It had been three days since the dungeon gate at the academy had opened and two days since it had been cleaned. Melany Quie, the rector of the CDA, had single-handedly cleared the dungeon in less than a day. This allowed the gate to be…

It gets on my nerves... It gets on my nerves a lot... This damn thing, no... things are getting on my nerves. I feel like everything that happens in a row seems like it's there specifically to make my life more difficult. But I don't have a choice... and sometimes that makes it even more frustrating. Yes, knowing that it's my duty at least eases that feeling a little. Especially knowing that the future of my kingdom is in my hands, knowing that after what Aiden has shown me, there is so much more…

My eyes sharpened as if the world had suddenly become many times clearer. A colorless energy, but distinct because of its intensity, mana, enveloped my whole body. I raised my hand, directing the mana in my body with my movements to make it easier to do what I wanted to do in my mind. When the two creatures in front of me were about to tear my whole body apart with their claws and tails, and the creature attacking me from behind was planning to bite me with its huge jaws... I quickly brought my hand…
