A month passed in an instant, and the masochistic training continued. Day in and day out, Arthur returned home with severe injuries. The bruises were healed using , but the severe injuries needed time and mana to heal. Anna was furious, while Lily and Magnus were worried beyond bound. They urged for Arthur to halt his inhumane training, but he assured them it wasn't too much trouble. He assured them Melzer was a great guy. He would never let something happen to him. But that wasn't the truth, as…-

As Arthur's body collided with the ground, it curled up unconsciously like a marionette without its strings. The expression plastered over his face didn't change, but the condition of his body worsened in an instant. His hands moved unconsciously to cover his pelvic area, considering the ground could affect the area quite a lot. However, the damage had already been done. His shaft had already collapsed, and his peanuts were on the verge of cracking. His face was encompassed in blood, and so was the…

"But I failed…" muttered Arthur, glancing at the empty vial that lay in his hands. The golden fluid had already been properly absorbed by his body. "It doesn't matter," replied Melzer, patting his shoulder. "I acknowledge you were a player, although you still need to elaborate on that. You're strong… really strong for a newbie, actually. Evading an attack directly given to me by the Norns is a big deal." "And that means I won the bet?" Arthur asked, raising an eyebrow. Melzer chuckled before…

The threads threatened to slice Arthur, yet he wasn't perturbed by them. He simply mobilized his mana in an attempt to forge a skill his previous self used quite often. Although it had been a while, fundamentals were difficult to lose grip of. Once he'd ordered the mana circuits and flow in the correct direction and speed, Arthur awaited the system to make an announcement. 'Mana step,' thought Arthur and a skill window appeared before him. As soon as the last window appeared,…

"Shall we begin?" Melzer asked, preparing to shout, 'For Asgard!' despite being retired. His attachment to Asgard was beyond what he could describe with words. Although he'd only met Odin once and the Norns twice, he had impressed them quite a lot. It was to the point where the Norns blessed him using the strings of fate before he retired. It was similar to a farewell gift. Elite Rankers were not valued and were treated as fodder, but Melzer felt Asgard wasn't such an organization. And he was correct…

"Why is he not a person I should admire?" Arthur asked, tilting his head innocently. Anna took a deep breath at that question. Suddenly, murderous intent flashed across her eyes, and she slammed her palms on the table before her. "He stole the chicken I bargained for three years ago," stated Anna, and the surroundings turned silent. Arthurs expression slowly crumpled, and his respect for his mother took a dive at those words. "Are you a child?" Arthur asked, standing up. For once, he was truly…

Arthur untied the blindfolds and ropes that confined Lily, Anna, and Magnus. Their expressions of sheer joy caused a warm, fuzzy feeling to appear in Arthur's heart. It was wholesome as their expressions bled into that of such beauty. "Big brother!" shouted Lily, jumping into his embrace immediately once she was freed from her restraints. Arthur patted her back as he embraced her, allowing her to sob on his shoulder. Soon, his shirt was wet due to the tears. Uncaring of that, Anna, too, jumped into…

Arthur let out a sigh as a sharp pain burst across his body. It wasn't easy to cause mana overload, but it was definitely one of the most painful deaths one could experience. It was absolutely unreal. Arthur had murdered many of his rivals through this process. He'd been victim to it once but had narrowly managed to avoid it by resisting his opponent's mana. had assisted significantly in preserving his life. As he watched Arnold's remains, which were basically bunches of flesh, blood, and organs,…

'Arthur's here,' thought Anna, shutting her eyes. A tear fell from her eyes, symbolizing her regret. The fear that her son, too, would be killed crept up. She suffocated as she had a panic attack. Suddenly, two voices comforted her from both sides. "It'll be okay, mommy." "We'll get through this, Anna." She took a deep breath before nodding. An expression of determination was plastered over her face, displaying her confidence. "Yes, we will. Arthur isn't helpless, and he isn't the weak boy I…

'Ugh, this thing still feels weird,' thought Arthur. Despite having unlocked mana, his body still felt sluggish. It seemed the feeling would dissipate once he got accustomed to the energy, but it felt uncomfortable for the time being. His mana channels were incomparably more powerful initially in this life than in his past life. Mana was the root of research. Most scholars dedicated their life researching the principles of mana. Since Arthur possessed considerable knowledge on the subject, the…
