The next day. The sun shone brightly over the city streets of Bremmer, its warm light spilling over the buildings and residents. People emerged from their homes, soaking in the morning warmth as they prepared to start their workday. I was one such person as I came out of the Inn I was staying in, prepared to head for the Royal Palace in order to retrieve my rewards. It felt like a good day. I was happy. '... Before anything happens I should just enter the 'Curse' chamber so that nobody…-

The all too familiar notification finally flashed before my very eyes. I was stunned by the sight of it, momentarily freezing on the spot as I stared blankly at it for a few seconds. Then... Finally collecting myself, I hastily looked around me before rushing back toward my apartment where I locked the door behind me. Clank! It was only when I was sure that I was alone that I sighed in relief and checked the remaining notifications. : Character Progression + 377% : Game Progression…

Though quiet, Aoife's voice resounded deeply throughout the hall as all eyes fell on me. I stood by the front of the hall, alongside Leon as his expression didn't show any changes. That said... I knew he was pissed. 'He's so mad.' The thought made me happy. Aoife wasn't done yet. Opening the letter she took out another piece of paper that was wedged into the letter. "For those that have objections, here's an official statement by the referee." She went on to read, "Though both Leon…

"Where is he...?" The hall was packed with people. Everyone was dressed for the occasion, and I could see a lot of unfamiliar and familiar figures. I was getting my fair share of stares, but nobody seemed keen on approaching me. I was a little surprised by this development but I wasn't one to complain. ....I liked it like this. 'No, but seriously. Where is Leon?' I needed to address this situation with him. Julien's father's appearance was not completely unexpected, but it wasn't something…

"?" Delilah cocked her head in confusion. Grem-What? What are you saying? ...Or so her gaze seemed to say as she looked at me. I could only keep my mouth closed and tilt my head in the same direction as hers. She blinked. I blinked. And then... "What are you doing?" A certain voice attracted both of our attention. Standing by the side of the door that led to the main hall was Kiera, her long white hair neatly tied in a ponytail as she wore a long white dress that seemed unusually…

|| Leon woke up in silence. His eyelids slowly parted open to reveal a strange darkness. It took a moment for him to adjust to the dark before he let out a faint groan and sat up. "Where am I?" Leon looked around. It didn't take long for him to recognize the room. "Ah." It was the infirmary. He had been here before. "Ukh." And the pain that spread through every inch of his body served as perfect proof of this. "You're awake?" A certain voice spoke, snapping him out of it. Leon…

It wasn't as though I didn't expect this offer to come. I knew my worth. After everything that I had displayed, I'd be surprised if I didn't attract the attention of Atlas who already started to show signs of appreciation towards what I had displayed. It was for that exact reason that I wasn't totally taken aback. "Low Seat of Dawn?" I was somewhat aware of how the rankings within the Inverted Sky worked. Low Seat of Dawn only meant one thing. 'He's asking me to become his…

" || The Colosseum remained silent ever after Julien's departure. The medics quickly rushed onto the stage, helping the referee recover while Leon's body remained on the ground, twitching slightly. He was not in great condition... As this was happening, Karl, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly asked a question that was in the minds of everyone present. "So, who won?" The match ended, and before the referee could even voice out his verdict, he fell for the rebound of their…

Six orbs floated inside Julien's mind. Each orb writhed and wiggled in the air, seemingly trying to reach out for him. He wanted to use every one of them, but he couldn't. He still wasn't there yet. His current limit was three orbs. It was a pity, but that was the reality. Only a couple of weeks had passed since Julien had unlocked his 'Concept' and learned to use it. The fact that he could already wield three was impressive, but the other three simply refused to respond fully. He still…

'Shit...' Leon silently cursed in his mind. But despite the cursing, he didn't feel mad at all. In fact, he felt rather happy. ...And this was the problem. He shouldn't be happy in this situation. "Why did he stop?" "What's going on? Attack him! He's there!" "Stop laughing and attack him! Did his advantage get to his head?" Leon could hear the faint whispers and murmurs from the crowd as all eyes fell in his general direction. The voices grew louder with each second that dragged as…
