267 Volume IV - Chapter 114: Phoenix’s Lineage 'Well… if you got what you wanted, let's get out of here fast. There's an extremely intense battle going on out there.' I squinted, staring meaninglessly at Sith. "Battle? What battle? Sith sighed deeply, then quickly summarized the situation for me. Things had escalated outside while I was here dealing with the tests. Sith didn't know exactly what had happened, but the South Holar had sent a platoon here. Then North Holar had sent their…-

266 Volume IV - Chapter 113: An Eternal Sleep for An Eternal Creature A light caught my attention at first. Yet this was not what surprised me. How long had I been in the darkness that the light appeared so abruptly? I hadn't even realized it... Had I fallen asleep before I even realized how it happened? So I focused on the light, and then I realized that it was coming from a very small place... a crack. I reached out with my hand to this light, and I realized that this crack was actually…

265 Volume IV - Chapter 110: Other Self's Test The only thing illuminating the darkness of the night was the small night light in the room. I was on a bed, squinting at the white ceiling. It had only been a few hours since I started hearing voices in my head. It was the first time I was going to sleep and... the voices echoing in my head were talking among themselves without paying any attention to me. Maybe I wasn't the person I saw in his eyes, but his memories... at least his thoughts, were…

264 Volume IV - Chapter 109: In the Depths of the Soul As my eyes slowly opened, as I saw the blue sky and felt the grass I was lying on, not much went through my mind. I just took a deep breath, closed my eyes and continued to lie there. I didn't feel like doing anything. The only thing I wanted was... to rest a little bit and that's what I did. Seconds chased minutes. Who knows... maybe for hours all I did was lie there. Finally, though, I sighed deeply again and spoke without opening my eyes.…

Come to your senses... Don't lose yourself... Think about who you are... Aiden Tenebra, that's who you are. Uh, no... No. You're not Aiden Tenebra. Ethan, Ethan Subter. That's your actual, real name. ******* I know very well that people in similar situations to mine have a slower perception of time than normal. Most of the time it feels like a day has passed, but it's actually several days. So how long have I been here...? A few days? Then it must have been much longer in reality,…

The sky cracked and cracked, both eyes of the ancient creature disappeared. Finally, when it all came together, I found myself, as usual, in a pitch-black space. My time there was not long, though. After only a few seconds, the darkness grew brighter and brighter, another world unfolded before my eyes and my vision became clear again. I was in a literally huge... hall, lined with walls that seemed to be in ruins. It felt like I was in the middle of an ancient temple, with pillars with motifs all…

"Flame, what is it?" This question confused me for a moment before I realized what it was. Her face was hidden by a veil, but the wrinkles near her eyes and her graying hair showed it. She was wearing a traditional red dress. "The visible part of the fire, right?" The woman took a deep breath, looked me in the eye. "Do you really think you can become a priest by saying something like that?" The old woman, who I assumed was a priestess, continued with stern eyes. "You are not wrong, but…

Silence... A silence that makes me question whether I really exist. Darkness... A deep darkness that seeps into me, a darkness that feels familiar, yet alien and deep. And then... after a period of time that I could hardly perceive, a difference. The silence was noisily broken. The endless darkness I was in was suddenly filled with a white light. My eyes were dazzled, my ears ringing with the intensity of the sound, but I resisted. For a short while, both the loud sound and the intense light…

It was beautiful. Maybe one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. The paths of mana that stretched through the whole cave, mana that had a certain flow in these paths... mana that seemed to be like water. This whole system, the enormous amount of mana it contains, the way it exists in the world with such harmony... But as beautiful as it was... it was crushing me. The view in front of me was not something I could look at. It was far beyond my comprehension. So even if I was just...…

Minutes had passed since we entered the cave. The daylight had long since disappeared due to the cave's sinuous structure, and the only illumination was the lights on the armor of the three dwarves beside me and a tiny flame in my left hand. These lights were quite sufficient, in fact, there was hardly a spot in the cave that we couldn't see, but... I kept having this strange feeling. It felt like we couldn't see everything. At the same time, the strangeness of the little flame in my hand... Even…
