With a scowl of resentment, Braakan abruptly turned around and stomped out of the house. After watching him leave, Lyrian walked back to his father, who was now awake in Rosa's hands. "Are you alright, Father?" Lyrian asked with a concerned voice as he knelt down beside him. After coughing a few times, Grasus answered. "Don't worry about me son, I'm perfectly fine!" His tone was very joyful, with a broad smile on his face. "How about a smile on your face huh? You now have an opportunity to enter an…-

"This child... why does he make me feel such unease?" Braakan thought to himself, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Lyrian. Lyrian didn't say anything at first, but his anger was palpable, indicating that he had overheard their conversation. "Son—" Rosa began, only to be abruptly cut off. "Failed to hide magic from me? Why would you want to do that in the first place?" Lyrian questioned calmly, unsure of what to think. Most of his mind was convinced that there must be a reasonable…

As soon as Lyrian entered, the sheer size of the building's interior struck him. The inside of the library was enormous, with bookshelves lining up over 50 feet up to the ceiling. There were lounges and tables placed around the room, with the walls covered with books all around. The sun shined through the colorful glass dome on the roof, casting a magical glow to the place that made it seem almost fantastical. Faint whispers echoed through the shelf halls as well, making the place seem…

After returning home, Lyrian wanted to learn about academies as much as possible and as soon as possible. According to Cedric, getting into an academy seemed like a great way to grow stronger. The best way for one's name to spread, after all, would be by being superior to many others. And in this world of magic, being superior to others in terms of strength seemed the most likely. So, going to a 'prominent' academy meant you could grow stronger, and then spread your name through that. Right now,…

Suddenly, Cedric's face, which was almost playful before, changed to a serious one as he turned to face Lyrian. Lyrian looked at the fat boy's body. 'Good. This level of strength should do.' He thought to himself as he clenched his fist, seeing that there hadn't been any serious damage done to the boy. Cedric furrowed his brows in confusion before tapping the lanky kid lightly so that he would step up and fight. The boy looked back at Cedric with a confused expression, expecting the two of them to…

The chariot moved closer as Lyrian finally caught a glimpse of it through the commotion. Immediately, his eyes widened slightly in shock as he noticed the four people carrying the chariot on their backs. They had rusty chains around their necks and feet, looking to be dirty and scar-filled, with faces of pure despair and eyes that were rid of any emotion. This sent a slight shock to Lyrian's system, as he found it peculiar that people weren't even batting an eye to the slaves under the chariot, but…

After a few seconds of laying down, Lyrian slowly rose to his feet before looking over the dead body of the Hobgoblin. "Reap." A white orb immediately flew out of the creature's body before entering Lyrians chest. "Gear, is it possible for me to merge the two souls I have in storage?" Lyrian was a bit disappointed at this fact, but it wasn't too big of a deal. In the end, he still had the soul of a powerful creature. '... Gear, from now on, only tell me the number of eligible souls,…

Normally, a person close to death would not act so afraid. Fight or flight would be the appropriate reaction. This was, however, not the case when it came to killing intent. A desire to kill paired with the life/spiritual aura of another being was enough to cause people to faint, go limp, or simply freeze in the eyes of death. Currently, however, Lyrian had no clue about this. It wasn't included in any magic book he read because not everyone had the ability to use it. After a minute or so, Lyrian…

Garmr was lighting quick, like a large horse but with stronger muscles and larger bones. He reached speeds at around 60 mph without any problem. After 20 seconds or so of running, Lyrian heard the clanging of weapons reverberating through the cave. The tunnel he was going through was lit up like the previous room with the 50 goblins, but due to the angles of the hall, he couldn't see what was in front of him. As Garmr sped forward, all fighting noises suddenly stopped. After a few more seconds,…

Finally, the opening revealed a large cavern room inside. Lyrian quickly dashed inside to a shocking reveal. 30, no, over 50 living goblins were scattered all over the place, with the adventurers from the previous situation right in the middle of the surprisingly bright room that was lit up by amber crystals on the walls. The group looked to hug a fountain or shine of some sort in the middle as they barely continued to fight off the overwhelming amount of goblins, their bodies heavily cut and injured…
