Tyrin's legs were eating themselves alive, literally. He had no idea who this hooded person was, but he stuck to him like an annoying fly, refusing to let go of him. His legs, despite being able to erase the runes on the ground, were also being affected by the Ender's miasma. And this damn ape, too. Everything was going so well until the competition started, now even a primitive monster hindered him. As soon as he was about to catch it, the ape started climbing the trees and jumping from one to the…-

Arthur asked Reece to find Emma and the rest, although he expected him to be unable to. After all, Reece never met them. To his amazement, Reece agreed and left Arthur's pocket and headed somewhere along the forest atop the cliff. Before he left, he told Arthur that he saw them with him in the teleportation hall. Arthur kept running atop the cliff and could see two persuing him from behind while three did the same from below. After a few minutes of pursuit, one of the three below was eliminated.…

The two wore a black and white hood, contrasting each other, signifying one being from the Republic of Orlan and the other from the Ilios Empire respectively. In the middle was a monster, a giant bee, hovering around and trying to attack with its stinger. The three danced around each other, avoiding the runes and trying to touch the box in the middle of them. Arthur was a distance away, safely hidden behind a tree. After a few moments, the one from Orlan was eliminated after touching three runes on the…

"We gather here," Arthur could hear the voice coming from a person standing midair. Looking at him, he had a black bushy beard with a charismatic face. He wore the black and white robes of the association with a white shirt underneath it. At his words, the crowd filling the stands quieted down. It was then that Arthur could take a better look at the surrounding. Clouds surrounded them like a wall, the clear sky felt ever so close, and the stands where the crowds gathered were levitating a distance in…

It took all of Arthur's effort not to have his jaws unhinged as they walked through the association's branch. Grounds that cleaned themselves, fountains with water rotating around statues like a solar system, trees of changing colors, and flying wooden floors getting people between places were things that were of the few marvels at the association. 'These guys are bored,' Arthur thought to himself, as he realized that they showed off runes at every juncture or corner. However, what amazed him was not…

As soon as the words left his mouth, Arthur regretted that he had let them out. However, the pebble was already in the water and he felt suddenly exhausted. He slumped to the couch tiredly as he stared at Ivy with a tilted head. "So, what if I don't join you guys? Would you kill me? Break my legs and fix them and expect me to be happy?" Arthur knew they helped him; it just left a bitter taste in his mouth to be manipulated. "Si is a good person, Newbie." Ivy pulled a wooden chair from the side and…

The woman clicked her tongue and hissed before she fled. It seems that the kingdom hearing of this incident was the last thing she wanted to happen. As she vanished like smoke and only Arthur, pixie-head and tall guy were left. "Let's leave as well," The girl said, and they began to move. They took a cab and Arthur realized they weren't going in the direction of the hotel he resided at. When he asked, they said it would raise suspicion if he went back like this. The group headed into a mansion, one…

As the alley's dark walls and patinaed windows flashed in his peripheral view, Arthur kept racing toward the end of the alley away from the excruciating dread of being captured after what he heard. With his current explosive speed, he reached the end in an instant. "Nowhere to run now!" The woman descended behind him and was only a few meters away. Arthur didn't stop at the end of the alley and simply kept rushing forward. From an outsider's point of view, Arthur was simply mad. However, before he…

The bar was mostly empty, lest for a few drunken men chatting and playing darts. Dim lighting gave the bar an ominous, yet aesthetic ambiance. The smell of alcohol pervaded every wood or fabric in it. Arthur, with a perception above the average awakener, frowned at the strong smell. Walking toward the bartender, Arthur ordered a beer to make himself stand out less. He wore a pair of thick fake glasses and combed his hair differently. It was a lame disguise, but that's as much as he could do without his…

His mouth felt dry, he had to gulp and let go of a breath that he didn't know he was holding. It was here, the price he had to pay for this power. The price he had to pay for the abilities he gained from the legacy. A legacy quest. The concept was simple. How did a legacy owner specify what they wanted to be achieved? Through legacy quests. If the legacy receiver failed to do the quest, their legacy would be gone. "I don't know why you have asked for information about this particular person, Arthur." Si…
