Dorset Hall. It was nighttime, and the world was quiet. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft, silvery glow over the landscape. Leon stood outside while staring at the moon that hung up above. Basking in its gentle afterglow, he stood still with his eyes closed. "Haa..." His soft sigh inevitably broke that silence. Leon's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. In particular, about the exhibition that they were going to have tomorrow with the members of the Aurora Empire. .....It…-

"Hahahaha." Laughter echoed throughout the Haven canteen as the members of the Aurora Empire enjoyed the feast before their very eyes. With all sorts of delicacies spread around the enormous tables of the canteen, the cadets were in a happy mood. It was a rather lively occasion with many of the cadets socializing with each other. "....." Kaelion stared at the food in front of him. It was a sumptuous meal, and everything looked good. And yet, ".....I don't like this." "You don't?…

Kaelion stared at the woman in front of him with a frown. 'Is this a joke...?' He knew who the woman in front of him was. It wasn't just because her face was extremely easy to remember, but it was also because of the surname she used when greeting him. 'Megrail...' She was the Empire's princess. But here lay the problem. 'Black Star...?' Since when had the Black Star changed? Kaelion had seen the one meant to the Black Star, and it wasn't her. It couldn't be that... "Hah." He unconsciously…

Time waited for no one. It flowed endlessly and without a single care for those who wanted it to slow down or speed up. The seasons changed. The winter passed, and so did spring. Slowly... And without a care for the world, time passed. Like flowing water. "Are we close? I'm getting kind of hungry." "We should be almost there. Haven should just be ahead." "That's good because I'm starving." A group of twenty or so people marched ahead, following a trail that led into a deep forest. Their…

To Tok— Atlas knocked on the door that led to Delilah's office. There was no response, but he didn't mind and simply smiled, holding onto the handle and opening the door. "Isn't it a bit rude of you?" "…" Yet again, Delilah didn't answer as she focused her attention on the paperwork in front of her. Atlas found the scene a little amusing and found a seat on the chair opposite her desk. He sat there for a few moments while looking around him. Seeing all the wrappers and papers scattered…

Owl-Mighty's words pressed down on my mind like bolts of lightning, numbing my mind for a couple of seconds as I struggled to understand what it was trying to say. Mental resilience higher than mine...? 'Shouldn't the Bone Dragon be a terror-ranked one?' Even if its mental resilience was greater than that of his rank, which was very possible considering that I was the living proof of that... How could its mental resilance be higher than mine? If there was one thing that I didn't lose out to…

Clank— I closed the door behind me and sat down on the ground, opening the wooden box to reveal the dragon bone. The bone wasn't big, about the size of my fist, and was entirely gray in color with purple runes surrounding it. The moment I opened the box, an oppressive feeling surrounded the room. It made it hard to breathe. I also felt it, but I wasn't so sure it was due to the bone. Perhpas... It was out of excitement. "What should I do...?" Rather than diving immediately and…

"Whoo~" The whistle pierced the air, and every hair at the back of my neck stood on end. My head snapped back to where the noise came from, but to my shock and horror, there was no one standing behind me. And yet, "Whoo~" The whistle persisted, echoing in the air, seeping into the depths of my mind as my breathing grew rougher. "Haa... Haa..." Each breath felt harder than the last. "What are you doing...?" Suddenly, something pressed against my shoulder, and my heart almost…

I stood in the middle of the stage with my breath caught in my throat. My mind was a jumbled mess, and the world around me appeared to spin. I could hardly focus on what was ahead of me as sweat trickled down the side of my face. My legs felt weak, and wherever I looked, I'd see the faces of the audience staring at me with looks of confusion. .....It was a strange feeling. I couldn't quite describe it. I was there and yet didn't feel there. All I could think about was the man who had been…

The Award ceremony had a structure that was reminiscent of similar events of the past. It would start off with a monologue by the presenter, who was usually a famous star to set the mood, and following that, the awards would finally be revealed. There were a couple of awards that I was lined up for. The Best Rookie award, and the Best Supporting Actor award. I didn't think I'd be able to win the Rookie Award, but I was confident in my chances of winning the Best Support Actor award. From what I…
