Chapter 2: Ability Types “Hahaha! It fucking said, ‘Please try harder.’ Like hell trying harder is enough to awaken an ability. You are so pitiful that even the AI is taking pity on you.” One of the students burst into laughter upon seeing the ‘Advice’ section of Randy’s statistical data. “Oh, you are fucking right. I didn’t see that as I was focus on this bastard’s ridiculous basic statistics. I mean, how could someone who hadn’t even awakened his ability have those high…-

Chapter 1: Loser “Randy Smith! Quickly come forward and receive your statistical results!” Said an instructor in a loud but disgruntled voice while waving something in his grasp as if he was holding a piece of trash. “...” The student named Randy Smith that was called upon did not rush to get his statistical results nor did he really care about his results- it was always the same results, anyway. Therefore, with his head bent over, which hid his lifeless eyes, he slowly got up and walked to…

?How what?? I stutter, surprised. ?What did I do?? How does he know? I didn't talk about it with anyone, I'm sure of it. I didn't even do who knows what. It happened once or twice. Thrice, maybe... I didn't count. But every time, it was more out of loneliness than wish to feel good. It didn't even work in the end... I would just feel a thrill or two and then give up. Nothing to do with the way Alexander touches me. It was more comforting than hot. ?Show me how you touch yourself,? he…-

Alexander walks to me with long steps. He somehow can control himself not to run to me. If I was less tired, I would have already started running to him or jumping in place. He's finally back! After six months! ?Hello, my love,? he says when he's two steps from me. At that moment, he seems to notice something behind my back. He stops his walk and stares. Then, as if displeased by something, he frowns. He drags me in his arms when I cross the distance separating us. What in the world is going…

It's been six months since Alexander left. He spent this time in the capital, helping the Emperor administering and fighting tax evasion. He sent me letters almost every week, and I had to reply because I was starting to feel guilty if I ignored them. The first was embarrassing to write, but then I got used to it. Now, I can do it without blushing like a peach. However, this week, no missive came from the capital. Maybe, something happened to the messenger. Maybe he fell from the horse or was…

?I hope this is enough to be finally considered family,? said the Princess. ?I've considered you part of my family since the beginning, your highness,? I sigh. ?But you've never used my name!? ?It's because your title imposes a form of courtesy...? I start, but a pair of small hands pull my gown. ?Auntie says mothers of Princesses don't need to be courteous,? she exclaims. ?Where did you even learn that word?? I murmur. As if triggered by our daughter's appearance, Alexander bows down and…

The garden has been taken care of in every detail. The flowers are in full bloom and colourful as if they forgot this is the north. The maids have decorated every single chair with white lace. I'm wearing a candid dress, white like snow. My hair is flowing on the back. I'm the representation of the perfect Ethirian bride: white like a dove and innocent like a puppy. When I step out, I find a little ball carrying some flowers in a small basket. Lavinia lifts her head and stares with her big eyes,…

Summer in Kyre is beautiful. The temperature rises, and the wind isn't as icy as during the rest of the year. One can dare to wear fewer clothes and ride in the wild. Autumn will be warm as well, just like the last two I witnessed. It's just winter that is really cold, but the rest of the year is quite enjoyable. Alexander and I spent most of our private time walking in the gardens or playing with Lavinia under the shadows of a tree. The little ball's black curls have grown, and her hair now…

So, it was like that from the start. Asteria was planning to use my brother's life to keep me in check. And to force me to collaborate if I didn't want to. Finding out things like these, after more than ten years, is still a shock. I knew it, for goodness. But now I also understand why they didn't do anything. ?Nicholas Zolokis didn't make it far enough to threaten me with my brother,? I point out. ?Yet, according to your story... You must have already fled by the time I got rid of him.? ?Even if…

?This wasn't what I was aiming at,? Alexander says while we get ready for lunch. A late lunch, but it was worth the wait. ?Yes, sure,? I chuckle. ?For real!? ?Then what did you want? To have a cold bath together?? ?No, I was distracted when you looked at me with such an expression... But I actually wanted you to meet a person.? ?One of my old helpers, maybe?? I've met some of them during my stay, so it wouldn't be such a surprise. ?Oh, I guess you can say that. There's also one of your…
