The Plaza was quiet. Not a sound could be heard. All eyes were toward the entrance of the Plaza, awaiting the incoming participants to see who would make it to the second phase. Discussions were already starting amongst the upper echelon. Gael in particular looked nervous. 'She'll make it, right?' He started to chew on his lips. 'I heard that she's the Black Star so there should be no problems. Yeah, I've also taught her quite a bit myself so I know her level, but she did spend quite a…-

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! A pair of yellow eyes shone with grace, watching as several bodies around him collapsed, lifeless, to the ground. The bodies belonged to thin figures with long, sickly arms that unnervingly stretched down from their backs, their bodies now motionless at his feet as their blood slowly seeped into the dry ground beneath, staining the earth with dark black color. But as if that wasn't enough, several dozen more of the same creatures surrounded him. They stood still,…

Within the small, empty room, the tomb stood eerily still, the purple words etched upon it glowing faintly in the dim light. It highlighted the faint cracks that webbed across the tombstone, like a spider's intricate design etched into the stone. "Emmet Rowe..." Leon repeated the name. It was an unfamiliar name. Something he had never heard before, and was seeing for the first time. Nonetheless, he started to understand something. Emmet Rowe was the Seer's true name. "Hoo." He took a…

"Hiak!" Josephine screamed at the top of her lungs, her hands shooting forward to grasp the arms that were reaching out for her. It was dark, and she couldn't see, but the strength behind the grip made it hard for her to breathe as her legs flailed wildly in a desperate struggle. "Huek... Huek!" In that brief moment, a sudden wave of fear overwhelmed her as her breathing grew increasingly labored, each gasp more desperate than the last. "H-huelp!" She tried to call for help, hoping for her…

It was dark and quiet. All Kiera could hear was the faint, rhythmic dripping of water trickling down the side of the small cavern. She stared silently at the dark ceiling, the sound echoing eerily in the stillness. Hours had passed, and she had yet to find herself able to sleep. No, it was more like she couldn't sleep at all. She was exhausted, her eyes were bagging, and she had no energy... All of these signs would normally allow one to sleep easily, and yet she found herself unable to bat an…

Cra Crack-! A cracking sound echoed through the air as I sat motionless with my eyes closed. My muscles shifted, and my bones ground against each other. "Hoo... Hoo..." I kept my thoughts steady as my chest heaved up and down repeatedly. I could feel changes occur to my body as I remained composed and let the cool energy within my mana core run around my entire body. While there were differences between each Tier, the real changes occurred once someone entered Tier 4. That's when a true gap…

It was a common belief that Emotive magic didn't work on beasts and monsters. That was what we were taught during our first days at the Academy, but... that was actually a half-truth. For the first years, this was indeed true. Most first years didn't have to deal with terror-ranked creatures. The most they'd have to deal with would be high-class Junior-ranked ones. For that reason, the information was not revealed, but once a beast turned into a Terror- ranked one, its cognitive abilities…

In the end, I got what I asked for. The queen directly came for me. But not in the way that I expected her to. Looking around and seeing the dozens of hands that were emerging from all sides, I pursed my lips and looked around with squinted eyes. Despite my situation, I was able to remain relatively calm. In the end, this was something that I had expected to happen. Furthermore, my goal wasn't to defeat the queen. No, it was to drink her blood. Swoosh-! A hand reached out for…

Thud! I planted my feet against the ground and sighed in relief. It was a good thing that Leon was present, otherwise I would've fallen several times. He was the one that saved me. "Uekgh... Agh!" With regards to Leon, he was currently leaning against the nearby wall while holding onto his stomach and gagging repeatedly. "Uakh...!" It was quite dim, and so I couldn't see properly, but he didn't look okay. He looked somewhat green, but that could very well be due to the…

"The grave of Oracleus?" I stopped dead in my tracks and carefully looked at the inscriptions on the wall. Tracing my finger over the inscriptions it felt smooth to the touch. Rather than inscriptions, this felt more like a projection. A spell perhaps? I wasn't quite sure. I ended up reading the text repeatedly, burning the image right into my mind. "Here lies the grave of Oracleus." "--The seer." My mouth grew dry unknowingly. "...Isn't this the same god that crazy Archbishop…
