The goblins were thrown into disarray as panic and screams echoed. Arthur decided to withhold his attack to see what would happen. The captured goblin fell to the ground as the snake slowly started coiling itself around the dark-green creature. Climbing on top of the trees, Arthur used his detection rune after he gestured Kira to stay hidden. There were only Kira, the goblins, and the snake. He decided to see how the goblins would react to the sudden attack as curiosity urged him to understand this…-

Arthur's instincts screamed at him, alarming him of the figure's intent. He pulled on Yuran's arm and a strike missed his body. Before Arthur could react, Yuran has also pulled a gun and fired it, the bullet trailing past Arthur's cheek. With a loud thud, a man fell from behind Arthur's back. Catching a better view of their assailant, it was a man with a suit that has missed Yuran's body by a hair's breadth. Arthur saw the man's face turn serious his arms started crystalizing, making spears instead of…

The group left the dungeon and headed out to have some dinner, but Arthur told them he had things to do. He needed to learn the runes since they sounded so useful for the current him, so he decided to go into the dungeon alone. The dungeon's portal glowed brightly as people came in and out of it as if it welcomed everyone to its stomach. Arthur walked into the portal that was in the middle of the building, and his body disappeared from this world. Finding himself in the maze again, Arthur took a deep…

This was the first rune that Arthur found to be hard to understand, but he still understood the general gist of it. These metallic cords acted as muscles that would contract when you use them. They would serve as the muscles for the golem. If their group wanted to make a golem of their own, they needed to create these cords and inscribe the runes on them. It sounded even more difficult than just making a robot, but a lot less expensive. Mechas were the dream of many people, but it was still under…

The Runes Association's branch was as magnificent as the union, only having a more magical feel to it. The building probably had a hundred meters in length and a little shorter in width. It had a rectangular architecture with curves in the middle, making it look like a spaceship from the outside. Fascinating cubes were traveling from one side of the building to the other, floating and rearranging themselves. "What are these moving cubes?" Arthur asked Ori who had accompanied him to register for a runic…

The classroom was empty now, only Arthur sat there on his desk thinking of what he should do. After a while, he looked at the hues of orange the sun has cast over their academy's yard. Students were using their abilities to their heart content, training together, and preparing for the national exam. Others were honing their minds, aiming for any field of magical engineering they could obtain. A breeze tickled his face, refreshing his thoughts. He stood up and left the empty classroom toward the library…

"Your runic bracelet, aren't you registered in Yalveran Runes Association?" Ori asked with confusion, looking at Arthur like he was an alien species. "There's a runes association?" His eyes turning wide, Arthur was even more confused. The two looked at each other for a few moments in silence. "… You're clueless, huh?" "Well, I can't deny that." All Arthur could do was scratch his head and avoid the group's gaze. Ori sighed and pulled the chair from underneath the table for Arthur to sit on. It…

"What kind of artifacts are we talking about?" Joe asked with caution, and when Arthur told him they were low-ranking ones, he sighed in relief. "Then why me? I know you can find others in Kera city." That was Joe's second question, and it made sense. "I'll be spending a lot of time here with Kira as I can't take it into the city as a mount yet. Furthermore, I'll be hunting in these areas. I also wish to stay anonymous, away from the hustle and bustle." "Is that so?" Joe nodded in understanding, as a…

"Seref Silvera," Arthur read out loud, back in the comfort of his home. Since the trial was in a different timeline, his family didn't notice a difference except getting worried over going missing for a day. "A rising Vetus-ranker from a poor family, married to…" Arthur read the information he already knew about his father. His eyes teared up every few lines, and he had to wipe them away before continuing to read. At last, he reached the part about his disappearance. It was a whole page with detailed…

It was a light blue colored ceiling, mottled by drawings of petals all over it. That was the first thing that Arthur saw when he opened his eyes. It took a few moments to gather his thoughts as if he just woke up from a coma. Everything felt so distant, so far away, and so surreal. The pain was too real to be called a dream, so Arthur had to accept everything, albeit with a grain of salt. "You're awake," Melania walked into the room, placing a basin of water and new bandages next to his bed. Arthur…
