Dozens of messages piled up, yet none of them were visible to Arthur, who's mind and body were undergoing tribulations one couldn't imagine. Attempting to forcefully draw Sword Aura was practically impossible. One could easily perish while doing so. However, there was an unexpected benefit, given one succeeded. Succeeding in surviving the process while retaining a certain amount of the mixture–known as Aura–could grant one a technique named "Sword Spirit." It was a degraded version of Sword…-

Lucas had unlocked Sword Aura. It was a shocking moment, as Sword Aura took years upon years to achieve. Then again, the man with wheat-colored eyes had undergone rigorous training since he was young, resulting in such a surprising incident. A shrill scream escaped Aditya's lips, and blood burst from his chest in massive quantities. His face paled due to lack of blood circulation, and the flames around his body dissipated in an instant. Many players rushed to his rescue. Even during such a…

The intensity of the flames surged, gradually encompassing Aditya's body like a bed of flowers to him, but a bed of thorns to his foes. The crackles of the flames were distinct, matching Aditya's raging temperament. His face carried a smile containing heaps of arrogance, while his eyes contained a hint of craziness, as if Aditya was deranged. His body emanated an aura of excellence. Flames bent to his will. Lucas, on the other hand, was silent. He hadn't revealed his mana, and he simply held an…

As the rays of dawn squeezed through the narrow opening of the window, the dark room gradually lightened. The chirping of the birds became prominent, while the streets bustled at the crack of dawn. Arthur's eyelids gradually opened, revealing the crimson pupils and white sclera within. Letting out a sigh, he pushed his body up, folding his bedsheets before performing a few stretches to warm his muscles and prevent extensive strain on his joints. He then threw a slipper at Randy, who stirred in his…

When faced with a predicament, humans tend to evolve. Evolution can be physical, mental, or instinctual. Physical evolution occurs over a long period of time, perhaps thousands of years. However, mental and instinctual evolution tends to occur quite rapidly. When in a difficult situation, people desperately try to adapt. No, their minds subconsciously feel the need to adjust. That's when growth occurs. As they say, easy times create weak men, while difficult times create strong men. Such a…

"Could I help you?" The lime-colored man asked, peeling his eyes away from a screen, which was probably his status window. The lime-colored man, also named Ferhill Igueno, was a man obsessed with money. His obsession rooted from his weakness, which Arthur had no qualms exploiting. "Could you show me your top model for mana-supplying stones?" Arthur inquired, observing the items on display. The crimson-eyed man had no plans on buying, as he did not possess any more tokens. Even if he did, Ferhill…

"A Divine Ranker of Olympus has been caught trying to harm a player," the Guardian spoke in a firm voice, contacting another Guardian using a device clutched between his fingers. "Requesting for backup." Hermes directed a glare at Arthur, who shuddered. However, the latter did not relent, and glared back. Unwilling to attract trouble, Hermes could only drop Jenny to the ground. With a snap of his fingers, a portal appeared, and within the blink of an eye, the Divine Ranker had disappeared into thin…

The rankings were quite unexpected, as three of the five people who placed in the top five were of unknown origins. Arthur Solace along with Jessica and Eve Holton were people the players were not aware of. 'Lucas Festus…' Arthur clicked his tongue. A troublesome figure seemed to have secured first place. 'He was the son of the leader of the Paragon Of Vengeance, I believe.' The Paragon Of Vengeance was a high-ranking clan, similar to Asgard, Olympus, and the Devas. Their influence was equally as…

Placing ten gemstones on the altar, the bodies of Arthur and the others blurred. An illusory effect was cast, and the newbies were drowned in endless pleasure for a split second, which felt like an eternity. Their visions were dyed white. Suddenly, a pleasant scent tickled their nostrils, and their visions transitioned from pitch black towards a light shade of blue. Eventually, as their eyelids fluttered, they were greeted by what could only be described as "Paradise." Upon his awakening, Arthur…

Finally, after much difficulty, the group arrived at the core of the desolate world, gazing at the pillars of glory with expressions of utter shock and relief. They were elated that their journey had finally come to an end. Arthur had amassed a total of 42 gemstones, while the others possessed around 25-30 each. They had long surpassed the amount needed to pass and were simply collecting gemstones to exchange for goods. At that point, they didn't feel the need to fight for each gemstone and simply…
