My head, my shoulders, my arms, my legs... Hands gripped all over me, slowly pulling me back. I tried to struggle, but my body refused to listen to me. I was tired. On my last breath. ....I could barely muster up the strength to fight back. I had expanded everything and had been running on adrenaline. But even that had its limits. "Ah, no...!" I extended my hand, reaching for the entrance which seemed closer than it had ever been before, and yet also seemed so distant. I was close, so…-

My lungs were on fire. I could hardly see. The entire time, I ran ahead without looking back. .....Several hands reached out for me, trying to grab me from all directions. I ducked, jumped, and twisted my body in all directions in order to avoid the hands. But it was hard. "Haa... Haa..." I could hardly think properly. ...The poison had now reached almost every part of my body. Every movement was laced with a numbing sensation that made it seem as though I was lying on a bed of…

'Fuck...' The realization that I had missed the pillar hit me rather quickly. As my head flicked in all directions, trying my best to think of a solution, I held my breath. In the end, I extended my hand in the direction of the pillar, a single thread shooting toward the pillar in the hope of penetrating it, but... Tink- To my utter horror, the thread bounced off the pillar, and the speed at which I dropped increased. Having not expected this to happen, my heart fluttered in panic before…

Swooosh-! The plan worked flawlessly. 'Leon' got kidnapped, and I quietly followed the thread connecting me and him. I didn't need to go fast since I knew exactly the path that the Wraith was taking. ....That, and there was also the fact that ideally, it would be best if I didn't run. It was possible, but it was just not ideal. "Hoo." Leaning against the side of the tunnel, I took a moment to rest. As I did, my leg started to convulse uncontrollably. Clench. Firmly clenching my teeth,…

The bone glowed faintly, showing exactly why it was special. I stared at it for a good minute before walking ahead and receiving it from Owl-Mighty. ".... Are you going to integrate with it?" "I don't know." It was a rib bone. Typically, it didn't really matter what type of bone it was. I would normally be able to absorb any type of bone. The only exception was if the bone was a duplicate. Only then would integration be impossible. The abilities that the bone provided were also rather…

"....That was close." Opening my eyes, I stood on the second floor of a torn-down building, staring through a shattered wall. In the distance, I watched as the ground slowly began to recover. Gradually, everything returned to normal, almost as if nothing had happened. It was then that I felt something press against my right shoulder. "..... || When I turned to look, I saw that it was Owl-Mighty. "Do you recognize this area?" "No." Owl-Mighty replied after a brief pause while its eyes…

Shwup! Shwup! One after another, the candidates disappeared from the plaza. Overlooking the scene from a different area were several people. "....Looks like it's starting." Atlas mumbled, quietly taking a sip of the tea in his hand. His yellow pupils were serene and clear as he smiled slightly. Opposite him stood another figure. With short green hair and eyes, they appeared to be one with nature, their demenour and features otherworldly. He was none other than the Seat of…

It was as if two hands were clasped against her throat, squeezing tightly and doing their best to deprive her of all of her oxygen. The sensation felt vaguely familiar. It reminded her of what had happened the day prior. She felt suffocated, and her eyes continued to trace the black tear that dripped down from the corner of the statue's eyes. Kiera blankly stared at the stature for what felt like forever until... "Hey." She felt a nudge on her shoulder and she snapped out of…

The next day. I woke up rather early and got dressed nicely. Today was an important day, and I couldn't be late for it. For that reason, I woke up earlier than usual to go out and buy the necessary equipment for the upcoming Summit. "...This should be enough." Holding onto two bags, I channeled my mana into the ring and entered the white world within. A tall and grand palace greeted my sight the moment that I entered the space within the ring. It was a sight I had grown accustomed to as I…

Creak- I was eventually able to pull the door of the cabinet open. What greeted my sight was a torn- out room. Bed sheets, toys, pieces of furniture, and the shards of a broken mirror... the floor was littered with all sorts of objects. It looked like a hurricane had swept through the room. .....What happened?' A crunching sound echoed as I took a step forward. It took a moment for me to completely register my surroundings. I looked through all the little clues that were scattered around…
