First, my body trembled violently. Then my eyes flew open. I jumped up from the hard, cold ground I was lying on. Unlike the bright light I had seen before I fainted, now I was in darkness, but with a faint, dim light that allowed me to see more or less around me. I was in a cube-shaped room, not very big, I guess. It looked a bit like an old place. No, I was definitely in an old place. I squinted for a moment, then looked at my clothes. They were the same, I was still wearing the same dirty…-

As I walked out of the east gate of the academy, my backpack full of spare clothes on my back, I took a deep breath and looked behind me. I looked at the majestic walls and buildings of the academy, remembering that... marvelous feeling I had when I first came here. The academy was definitely one of the most magnificent things I had ever seen in my life, even spectacular. So much so that I wanted to look at them to my heart's content. 'The longer you wait to leave, the harder it is to leave,…

When I turned off the bright light of my desk lamp, the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness. With a deep sigh, I sat up, stretched, and then turned on the light. After packing my books and my bag, I looked at the clock. It was already night, time for me to go to bed. At least I had to go to bed now if I didn't want to fall asleep at school. Without thinking too much, I let myself fall into my bed. So I closed my eyes, turned over, and tried to fall asleep. Minutes passed in silence, and…

"Turn around slowly." 'Sith.' After a quick thought, I slowly turned around. There was a human being, a mercenary on the side of the Southerners. He had a smile on his face. He reached for a device on his lapel and then a green light came on. "Come here, I found him." The light on the device went out and the man opened his mouth again without stopping smiling. "They told me to get you, but you won't mind if I tell them you resisted, will you?" His finger on the trigger, he slowly…

I threw myself with all my strength behind the building closest to me. The bullets from the gun in the robot's arm suddenly started riddling the place where I had just been standing and turned toward the building. They shattered the glass and even pierced the concrete. My eyes widened when I saw this. If a single one of those bullets grazed me, it would definitely take the place it touched with it... I quickly got up and started running in the opposite direction. I came across a group of soldiers…

"This is the last time, and if this doesn't work... you don't have to come back here. Do you understand, Aiden?" I nodded meekly, a little nervous to be honest. I held my breath, closed my eyes, and then waited. Seconds passed, yet I couldn't help feeling like minutes had passed because of the tension. Silence surrounded me. Then a tremor and finally a sound, the sound of a machine working. I felt something warm coming from the devices attached to my arm, injecting a liquid into my vein. I…

"Haaaa..." I sighed deeply, then looked at the holographic screen on my desk with a big smile on my face. My investment had finally paid off, I was finally making money. I could finally move up, I had blood on my hands, but I had made it. When the thought of blood on my hands crossed my mind, I paused for a moment, then shook my head rapidly and took a deep breath. So what? This world is rotten enough, so what if I did something like this to rise up? All I did was end the suffering of…

I had to go straight to the hotel that had already been arranged for me, there was no need to wait here in this city. I couldn't care about that though. As if I had forgotten everything I had been thinking about until I got here and focused on something completely different: my surroundings. This is... an airport, yes, but also very different from the normal ones. Dwarves are not a very strong race. Their body's relationship with mana is even worse than that of humans, but that is not much of a…

A week passed, almost in the blink of an eye, at least for me. To be honest, it was a normal week as usual. The only difference was that I had to prepare for where I was going. And, of course, my goodbyes. Clara... When I told her that she wouldn't hear from me for a while, she accepted it normally without saying anything. It was a bit scary, to be honest, the way she accepted it so quietly and meekly... I don't know. Sue was a little upset. She asked me where I was going, how long I was staying, and…

My mouth opened, I would normally have stepped back, but I didn't care. I walked over to Celine, ignoring the purple-eyed Ethan. I looked at Celine's pale body, my mouth opened again but I swallowed the words again. A purple glow filled the room, and the wiera's smile widened. I felt his hand on my shoulder, then, without a word, he slowly began to turn to dust. > A scene came to mind. A scene from a long time ago when my wiera side pulled a curtain in front of me and I realized that it was…
