After Arthur returned home, he sent his application to the best academy in Kera city, Avalin. Oren also attended this academy, but he was a first-year where Arthur applied to be a senior year. Now, normally, no one can skip these many grades. However, being an awakeners academy, they bent some rules for the awakeners. As the Union formally registered Arthur, he felt like he achieved the impossible. In a matter of a few hours, Arthur received his acceptance letter. The academy administration…-

"Sier, what did you see in him?" Under the moonlight and the gazes of endless constellations, Master Ronin's voice breached the silence of the night. It traveled slowly to the ears of the young man sitting in front of him, who had his eyes closed as he enjoyed the tea in his hand. Sier opened his eyes, and they reflected a serenity unbefitting of his age. "I know what you saw, old man. That young man's fate." "I told you to stop doing that." Master Ronin's brows furrowed as the uncomfortableness was…

After walking for half an hour in thoughts, Arthur found himself at the address Si gave him. Unlike what he expected, the address led to a Villa on one of Kera city's hills. Arthur could see most of the city from here, as well as the ocean lacing the horizon. He wondered if he could enjoy this view one day from his own house. He then dismissed these thoughts and rang the Villa's bell. After a short while, a girl opened the door. She had a plain-looking face with shoulder-length curly brown hair. The…

"In an arcade? Huh, that's novel." Arthur's sarcastic remark didn't affect Si at all. He continued talking like he was used to being doubted. "Not really. Games these years are different after virtual reality runes came into existence. What's the difference between reality and virtual reality?" Si's voice was clear, as if he rehearsed his words already. "That's why I scout people in arcades and gaming tournaments for any promising rookies." "Rookies?" Arthur furrowed his brows, showing a fa?ade of…

When he opened his eyes, he was standing on a headland by the sea, where seagulls flew and danced. On the other side of the headland stood an armored knight wearing the same armor as him. Arthur looked around in fascination as he realized the advancement of virtual gaming. The game asked him to enter his nickname, and he chose a plain The Arthur before changing it to Golden Arthur. The latter came from an unknown desire to be recognized, and Arthur was reminded of Jizo once again residing within him.…

As he was getting ready to sleep, Arthur checked his email out of habit. He then found a transaction made to his bank account, the one he shared with his family. Confused, Arthur opened the email and found that a transaction has been made earlier today. As he read the number transferred to his account, he was even more confused as it was 3000 dollars. "Just what is this?" Arthur tried to mull over it for a while before suspecting Yuran. He went and called Alan, but his phone was out of service.…

There was a new row listing his Stats Points. It seemed he can use that to increase one of his stats. It was the first time Arthur heard of such a Legacy that allowed you to improve your strength, agility, stamina, etc. He wanted to increase his mana right away as it was the most useful of them all to him currently. He then examined the new rune he got. To his surprised, it wasn't a basic tier rune. Arthur was confused at first. Then he looked at the fallen horned snake and used the rune on it.…

As Arthur read them, he finally started to see hope. From what he knew, runes were symbols giving special effects using mana. Artifacts of the past had runes that gave them their unique functions. For example, some weapons would burn with fire if injected with mana, and some would freeze what they touch. Some artifacts would cast barriers, and others would heal people in a given radius when used. These were all achieved by runes engraved on the artifacts themselves. Scientists tried to replicate…

As he opened his eyes, Yuran could see he was in a hospital. It only took seconds for him to realize he survived the serpent. An almost silent snoring drew His attention. He turned around and saw the idolized White Fairy sleeping as she sat in a chair next to his bed. "Fey…" He called out, and it worked like magic to wake her up as she immediately opened her eyes. Her eyes were blacker than the night sky, a contrast of her white eyelashes. She blinked before a smile crept to her face as she sweetly…

As the Golem came near, the warriors assumed formation, and Alan took the lead to repel the first incoming attack. The tall warrior looked like a midget compared to the Golem, and he stumbled back more than one step with the first strike. With a loud shout, he activated his ability for the first time today, causing Arthur to almost forget to breathe. With blinding light, two more Alans appeared, although they were phantoms. With three of them now, they created a defense even the boss found it hard to…
