"A- A dungeon!" One of the students suddenly shouted. With that, the students, who had not yet recovered from the shock of the event, became aware of the situation again. And that was not the only thing they realized. They were also aware of how quickly the blue-colored gate shifted to orange, indicating how close it was to the breaking point. So they began to realize that this area would soon be filled with creatures. And that brought... only chaos. A more violent noise filled the area than…-

At first, a faint glow appeared in the clear blue sky. It covered the entire sky in an instant, purple in color, and even if slowly, it grew stronger and stronger, catching the eye quite easily. The crowd in the square had suddenly stopped, the noise abruptly cut off by the realization of this difference in the sky. What Julian was trying to say was among them. Now, there was confusion on everyone's faces. Including Lucia, Sue, Julian, and me. "Huh?" "Is the sky... purple?" I squinted my…

The first day of summer vacation... was not what I expected. All the students at the academy were excited as summer vacation approached, eagerly awaiting the end of classes and the end-of-year ceremony. But... what's the difference from before? I don't have to go to classes for two months, that's all... What's so exciting about that? I'm going to keep practicing every day, I'm going to keep transferring mana to this disk, and nothing else... I can't understand what's the difference between this and…

When I slowly opened my eyes on my couch, the sunlight was shining directly on my face, dazzling my barely open eyes even more. I yawned, stretched slightly, and my eyes went straight to the clock on the wall. Seven... the ceremony was supposed to start at ten o'clock. In short, I have three hours. I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I didn't put on the classic school uniform. I didn't need it anyway since the first year was over. Instead, I put on a white shirt with long sleeves that I…

The sun's rays were brighter and hotter than ever with the coming summer. The blue sky was cloudless, taking away the shadows where people could cool off in the already too-high temperatures. At least that was the case a few hours ago... before I entered the building I was in. I was standing in my training room with my eyes closed, my spear firmly in my hand. I didn't move a muscle in any way. I just... waited. Finally, when I felt a movement in the area to my left, my hands moved spontaneously. I…

--Volume V: The Breaking Seals-- When I first heard the word 'festival' and found out what it was... I thought it would be something beautiful. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun in the series I saw on our TV in that hidden forest with my family. So... I was looking forward to the day when I could join one of them. But... then, that happened. A man with long smoke-colored hair and glowing purple eyes visited our house and made my whole life a living hell. In my life spent in the dark…

The day I came back to the Academy... I expected to see Aiden here. I had spent almost three months in Neutral, so I figured he'd be back before me. That's why I was surprised when I couldn't find him anywhere, but... I didn't think much of it. His work must have been prolonged. What else could it have been? He was smart, but he was also strong. I had yet to see him not get what he wanted. So, I decided to wait for him. Then, shortly after I entered the academy, rector Melany called me to her…

As soon as Colonel Vulnar finished readying the sword... a shadow appeared behind him. Time stopped in an instant, my heartbeat quickened, and it was the only thing I could hear. The shadow was a soldier wearing the flag of the North Holar. He was a high-ranking soldier, a lieutenant colonel. Blood was oozing from his eyes, his nose, his ears, even from the gaps in his skin... from everywhere. His eyes were so red that I couldn't make out the pupils. With difficulty, this shadow put the pistol he…

As I kept fighting and fighting, after a while... I heard a whisper in my mind. A sly, yet cynical voice. "Go ahead, Aiden." It didn't come from my head, there was no notification from AVRES. It came out of nowhere. Just like always. "You like it, don't you?" I swallowed, held my breath, and saw something approaching me, a... rocket. The barriers I always kept around me shattered. I avoided serious damage and moved on to the next enemy. I ignored the whisper in my mind, I didn't take it…

The day before the big battle, I went back to my room to sleep, at least for an hour or two. Inside the unlit room... this time there was really no one. 'They are dead.' Gurdas' death came to my mind for a moment. My mind was filled with thoughts. And then... I felt a force on my shoulder as if someone had put a hand on it. "They're dead too, Aiden." It was a familiar voice, a voice I'd heard whispering in my mind almost every time I'd been in battle, a voice I'd gotten... used to. "Shut…
