When we received the message from the Academy, there were about two hundred meters between us and the nearest of the marked places. As we were trying to escape our pursuers, we luckily ran right into it. We should have been happy, but... "Aiden, something is not right." I heard these words as an earthen spear flew past me and I started to sweat instantly. Not because of the spear but Celine's words. It was said by Celine, Celine Potenbea, who had the Sixth Sense skill. If she felt that something…-

"Put your hands in the air if you don't want your end to be like his." As soon as I heard the words of the man with the gun pointed at me, I threw my hands up in the air. It was unexpected. If it hadn't been for the Absolute Mind, I might not have known what to do out of surprise and maybe I would have even made a wrong move. Now, however, I was fortunately calm and so... I thought. How did this happen? It is impossible for the organization to have spread even among the royal soldiers... In the…

While I was lost in my own thoughts, Sue re-entered the room where I was lying. Then she smiled slightly. "It'll be ready in half an hour." The slight smile on her face changed a little when she came to me and put her hand on my forehead again. "How are you feeling now? Do you have a fever? Are you weak? Are there any aches?" "Calm down, I'm fine." For example... what if he comes out of nowhere and attacks Sue with my body? Can I really stop him from doing that? "You seem to have a fever…

"Hey... Now that I look at it, is that... blood on the curtain?" Sue turned to me quickly, but I wasn't paying much attention to her. I am what you are; you are what I am. The thing's words echoed in my head. A burning sensation rose in my throat and without a moment's hesitation, I ran to the bathroom. "Aiden?!" I heard Sue running after me but I continued to ignore her. That thing... it can control me. It can play with my thoughts, make me do things I don't even remember. Can I…

After giving my testimony, I headed to my room without any problems. Just as I was about to enter my door, a voice came from behind me. "Aiden Tenebra, isn't it?" There was a man, probably in his forties, holding a small, well-wrapped package in his hand. He was an ordinary courier, but one of the academy's specialized ones. He had a cold expression on his face. "Yes, it's me?" "This package is for you." The man handed the package to me again coldly, matching the expression on his face. I…

I opened the drawer, took out a bottle with a gray liquid inside, and without a second thought I drank the whole bottle down my throat. A strange sensation suddenly appeared in my body. My whole body trembled slightly from head to toe. I felt my heart, its slowing down, in every cell of my body. Then the sensation began to disappear and by the end of the process, I felt even more 'normal' than I usually do. After putting the empty bottle back in the drawer, I quickly made my way to the door and with…

I stopped walking when I came to the front of the usual building, the Mana Research Laboratories. I stared at the huge building for a few seconds. Its grandeur had always impressed me, but I was slowly getting used to it. With a deep sigh, I headed inside. Usually, when I enter here, I always go to the reception desk, but not this time. Instead, I turned left at the reception desk, went up the stairs, and after a few steps on the second floor, I reached the building's cafeteria. After I took my…

--Volume III: Games in the Dark-- I'm... I'm not a hero. That was one of the first things I thought when I came into this world. I just want to change my ordinary life, I want to be happy. That was the first motivation I had in this world. That was what made me take the decisions that I would take, that made me care about what I would do for this cause, even if I hated myself. And yet, despite all this, I came back when things were already over for me, when I needed to rest, when it could…

After leaving Sue's side, I ran straight to the usual training room. And when I finally entered the room, Professor Calvin was looking at me, slightly annoyed. "You're late! By seven minutes!" The first thing I did when I saw his attitude was to take a deep breath. As I had expected, it looks like it won't be a problem... He doesn't remember what happened. He seems a little more preoccupied than usual, though. And he doesn't seem to have slept much... Maybe because of the incident? "I'm…

"Why... are you following me?" I looked at the girl walking next to me. She had bright blonde hair and blood-red eyes. She had the most beautiful face I had ever seen on earth, and the slight smile she wore emphasized it. Moreover, her room was not where I was walking. "I'm not following you Celine, we're just on the same path to where we want to go." Although I had spoken to her many times before, it was all during social activities. Apart from that, when we were in the hospital after what…
