Getting off the Skyliner, I found myself standing in front of the familiar entrance gate that was being pitched by two magnificent Garuda statues. Despite being titled the strongest and first hero of humanity, Garuda's appearance was on the odd side. His head resembled those of an eagle, complete with a sharp beak and piercing eyes that seemed to watch over the academy's grounds. But what caught my attention, even more, was the intricately designed mask and armor he wore. The mask, made from a…-

Waking up in my room, I felt the surge of morning air hit me. I had a habit of leaving the window open when I sleep so that I'd feel refreshed by the natural air when I woke up. The warm sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow over my bed. I stretched my arms and legs, feeling the soft cotton sheets against my skin. Buzz–! Buzz–! As I sat up, I noticed my phone vibrating on the bedside table. I reached for it and saw that I had 99+ unread messages. They were all coming from…

Goose's body lay motionless on the ground as I frantically dodged the water jet shot by Finrax, the dungeon boss monster. I didn't have the luxury of time to mourn him right now, my very life was on the line here. With one wrong move, I could end up like him. And surely I would definitely be dead unlike him. 'Finrax…' …was the name of the dungeon boss monster. It was impossible to have a named monster in a low-ranked dungeon. But, this was not a normal dungeon. Every boss monster inside a…

Surveying my surroundings, I found myself standing in a small, clear area surrounded by trees. To the north, an endless path led to a bridge and river, while to the east and west lay a dense forest. Approximately a hundred meters behind me, to the south, the river stretched from east to west. One could tell just by hearing the sound of the river flowing from a distance, that the river was flowing fast. "Surely the path ahead is where the dungeon boss is waiting for us, right?" I squinted, surveying…

Rank: E+ Status: Pre-outburst!! === "It's in Pre-Outburst state…" "You can tell?" "Yeah…" Thanks to my Clairvoyance skill, I could tell that it was in that state. After seeing it with my skill too, it turned out that the dungeon was underwater. pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ I thought that the whole lake was a dungeon, but that should be impossible for a mere (E+)-rank dungeon to have that amount of scale. "How can I even enter it? It's underwater…" Goose looked at me with raised eyebrows. I…

The next day after my meeting with the future vice leader of Utopia… "Shannon. I'll be back at night!" I said as I rushed out of my room, walked down the stair to the first floor, and was running in the living room to the front door. "What?! Where are you going?!" Shannon's voice was hindered between the wall and floor, she was in her room on the second floor. Although it was hindered, I could still her voice a bit clearer when I reached the front door, wearing my shoes. I shouted back. "Hanging…

Today was Sunday. My life in the countryside had been peaceful. No Enhanced, no heroes, no villain, no crime. It was always my dream to live a peaceful life like this after I retired as a doctor from a big city. Sunday was the perfect day for fishing! Fishing was the activity I always do on Sunday. But, when I just woke up this morning. Bad news has been delivered to me via a call. Calling me was my boss who said they'd let me take a vacation for three years. But, it had only been a year since I…

The classroom was quiet, no single sound couldn't escape everyone's mouth as they were focusing on the exam. The examiner this time was only one person. It should be a good chance to cheat, but why won't anyone do that? It was because the examiner wasn't an ordinary person. He was a skilled wizard from the Circle. Any suspicious move would be immediately detected by him because this class was under his AoE spell, surveillance spell. I looked at one of the questions in the exam. These types of…

Two hours before the exam… Standing by the window, watching how crowded the academy was with prospective students was a woman with red flame hair smiling. The distance between where she watched and where the crowd was so far but she could still see it as flame emerged right in front of her fire color eyes, enhancing her vision. "It's always fun watching my would-be-students flocking to the academy." The flame enhancing her vision dispersed as she closed her eyes and turned around. "That said, why…

The night was long for me. For some reason, I couldn't sleep in peace. I'd occasionally woke up every hour in the middle of the night. This was the fifth time I had woken up because of the same dream that keep repeating. Looking at the clock screen, the time showed 1:30 AM. "Huu… I can't sleep." The bed was indeed soft but why couldn't I sleep peacefully? Looking ahead, the bed across me was empty. It looked like I was right, I was the only one occupying this room. I stood up, wondering what I…
