"Anyway, why did we come here? I want to continue my practice. You're wasting my time." Young Varian glanced at the children playing in the playground in disdain and asked Amanda in annoyance. 'You little ...me?' Varian cursed his younger self for his behaviour. He was indeed obsessed with training after his father died. He gave up all social life for a while and he didn't know what happened after, but in his teens, he wasn't that antisocial anymore. 'But I don't remember coming to this place. Did I…-

Varian heaved a sigh of relief. He battled death and prepared for what he had always dreamed of. Advancing to Level 1 and becoming an Awakener. He hoped that becoming an Awakener could somehow save his life. But now, he could only hope it would delay his death until help found him. 'What?! System? There is Aura in the air. Aura in the soil. Aura in my body. Aura everywhere.' Varian almost went crazy. "Wait, no!" Varian yelled weakly as he felt the little strands of Aura in his blood,…

There was no help in sight. There were no other humans in the vicinity. The smoke in the air indicated that Arthur's team was still fighting. Help from their team was a luxury when they themselves had their hands full. "There's no help coming. Our squad's Knight is keeping your captain occupied. We'll soon kill every one of you. You might have killed the injured fellow earlier, but now, it's time to give up. End yourself and you'll die without further pain." The Abyssal said as he looked down into…

'Level 0? Seriously?' Varian thought as he ran. They were a long distance from the exit and it would be an arduous journey. "I-I told you we were venturing too deep." Kyle panted and ran by his side. Maya was better off than him due to her star treasure boots. They gave her the boost to keep up with Varian despite her being a Mind Awakener. "Crow's mouth." Maya hissed and huffed. Varian glanced behind and saw Arthur's team engaging all the Abyssals in a fight. There wouldn't be any Abyssals that…

Virgin Dungeon was bright, but the sky had no suns. The soil was red and blue grass grew everywhere. It had its own ecosystem. They walked a bit through the grass before Varian spotted two demon rabbits immersed in grazing, taking their time. Demon rabbits were level 1 Magic Beasts. They were 1.5 meters tall, had blue fur and carried some serious muscle. Varian wouldn't be able to take more than three kicks without breaking a bone. Two of the team members sneaked around and checked for any other…

Varian arrived on the outskirts of Pearl city, the location of the entrance to the low level Dungeon, "Virgin". Based on the strength of magic beasts, Dungeons were classified as Low, Middle, and High. Dungeons full title was Dungeon Dimensions. They were a separate world altogether. First Dungeons appeared in 300 YAB. They were low level Dungeons. Humanity used them to propel into what was later coined as "Golden Age" which lasted until 400 YAB. Every Dungeon had a gate which served as an…

Varian woke up from the surreal dream, but her words couldn't get out of his head. "Save Sia" "What was that?...Was it real?" Varian muttered, trying to make sense of what had just transpired. 'Is this even real? What if I'm just hallucinating?' He paced in his room. It was a small bedroom with a comfy bed, a closet, a desk with a palm-sized black box and a pair of shiny gauntlets on it. Varian's emotions were a mess. A part of him wished it were all false. Another part of him questioned…

"If only I wasn't frozen." Varian stomped his foot. The closed wound opened and bleeding started once again. The sensors prompted the medical bot to tend to his wounds. Varian neither felt the pain nor the bot's actions. His mind was on that night. He could only recall the scene until he fainted. He neither remembered her last words nor what happened after that horrific scene. Most puzzling of all, he never understood how he survived. Though the investigators told him that his mother's last…

"I won't be merciful just because you're unawakened." the young man said, looking down at Varian in front. "The thought is mutual." Varian replied in his familiar fighting posture. His lean build was reflected on the polished stage surface. The crowd seated around the stage was only increasing as time passed. Leon Training Hall wasn't popular for its duels. Today was an exception. The maid robots served refreshments to the audience as they stared at the large 3D holographic screen. It depicted the…
