Ding—! A chime rang in the air as Aoife and Evelyn stepped out of the bookstore. The two of them had been paired up together. Coming out of the store, Aoife held onto several books. The pile was quite long, with Aoife having to hold the books with both hands. The two quietly walked around the town before finding a place with a nice view to eat. "I'll have this." "...." Unlike Aoife, Evelyn took her time to choose her dish. Her eyes turned unusually serious as she scanned the menu.…-

A large gate stood before the walls of the city. As we approached, the gates parted, welcoming us into the heart of the city. A sprawling cobblestone road unfolded before us, lined with sturdy wooden houses and bustling stalls beneath them. "Get your fresh vegetables here! They're fresh from Arkana! You won't find fresher vegetables!" "Buy one get one free!" "Limited sale for today only!" The scene was filled with clamor as the stall owners shouted on top of each other, trying their best to…

"That's it. Pencils down!" The exam ran for exactly an hour. Hearing Professor Bridgette's voice, I put my pencil down and rubbed my eyes. "Huaam." I unknowingly let out a yawn. I was quite frankly tired. But it was a different kind of tiredness from the usual tiredness. For the entire week, I hadn't trained at all. Not because I didn't want to but because I physically couldn't. My body was still suffering from the consequences of having used the drug. I was still unsure of how long I was…

"....Ugh." Kiera groaned while staring at the paper in front of her. How much time had passed since she started? Staring at the clock, her expression twisted. Three hours... Kiera looked up with a hopeful look. "Can I take a break?" "No." ".....I'm going to die." Kiera sprawled over her desk and groaned. She felt lightheaded and her body felt limp. She didn't feel like doing anything. Akh. How many problems have I solved already...? Too many. It was too many. No, but that…

Scritch-scratch The sound of scribbling pencils rang out in the classroom. In the otherwise quiet classroom, the cadets were focused on the papers in front of them. Some were scratching their heads in confusion, while others were fully focused on the paper. I was too as I filled in the questions in front of me. Flip— Flipping the page over, my eyes paused on the next question. "....." I paused for a second and frowned. Not because the question was hard, but because it was a…

Clank— I was still in a daze as I came out of the office and walked past the corridor that led toward the exit of the building. As I walked, I could hear the rhythmical echo of my steps. They were soft, and yet, they powerfully rang within my mind. '....Upgrade my potential?' It wasn't as though I didn't understand what he was trying to imply. After going through the memories of the few members of the Dragon Charred Unit, I was able to get a better idea of how things worked within the…

In a highly decorated room within the estate.?A man stood with his arms crossed while staring at the projection in front of him. "....." He stood in silence as he watched the scene in front of him replay over and over again. Whenever the scene would end, he would bring his hand forward and shift the…

The moment Julien and his sidekicks came out of the Labyrinth, none of the spectators said a thing. They just stood in silence to stare at them. ....Or more specifically Julien. Yet again, he had pulled everyone's attention. He stole the show once more. What he had done, the public remembered. It was that memorable. In one of the corners of the arena stands. A man leaned on his seat while staring at Julien beneath. He wore a brown top hat and brown coat. "....It was a nice…

Swoosh— "We're almost there." Karl sprinted forward as his group followed him from behind. Turning his head, he stared at them and urged them to quicken their speed. ".....One last push. We should be amongst the firsts." Though he said that, he didn't believe that to be the case. They had wasted too much time trying to catch up with the leading teams. 'Monsters.' That was all Karl could think of as he looked at the scores on his bracelet. From the start until now, the top two groups had…

"H-help... me. I'm scared.." Within a dark cave, a boy cried. He looked no older than eight, and he held his legs with both hands. "Waa...!" "Uha!" In the distance, he could hear the cries of the other children. Hugging his legs tightly, he hugged his body tightly. 'Where am I...?' 'What's going on?' 'I'm scared.' Such was Leonard's first memory at the Inverted Sky. From then on he was subjected to endless torture. "...I'm sorry..." He was beaten. "It... h-urts... It's…
