Just as when you started the engine of your vehicle before taking off, I too started my 'engine'. It was not the same engine as the vehicle, but a magic technique called 'mana coating'. Covering my legs–from feet up to knees–with mana, I took the first step. And another step as I did the first one. It was a motion of a human walking at first. Then after a few dozen steps, it turned into a running motion. 'This is it!' As the ground beneath my feet began to shake violently, I felt a surge of…-

The staircases felt endless. At this rate, I would be left with no stamina when I reached the surface. 'I don't want that.' I did not want to feel helpless once I arrived back at the ruin's surface. There would be a lot of villains waiting for me up there. Knowing that fact because of my Pathfinding skill, I slowed my pace, which almost looked like a leisurely walk. Taking deep breaths, I tried to regulate my breathing and conserve my energy as much as possible, this also considering that I was holding…

"She must be just too tired that she mistook you as that guy." Lux, who heard the words spoken by Lumi assured Zio. There was no way he could accuse Zio as the kidnapper when in the first place they were so different. The man was an adult, tall, and even though they had the same jet-black hair, his eyes were blue. Contrary, Zio was a teenager, of average height, and had a pair of black eyes. "Yeah…" Zio released a relieved sigh silently, not wanting to alert anyone, especially Lux who was…

"Right. It's even more strange that you even believe what I just said." "Yes… Wait, what?" Zio chuckled. "I'm just kidding. But seriously, this monument is not just a random architecture in the ruins. It holds important information." "Information about what?" "About the ruin. The origin of this place, which civilization that built it, and about what lies within." Lux furrowed his eyebrows. "I thought that the ruins are just a place containing treasures… something like dungeons." Zio shrugged.…

"" A blue ring made of mana materialized in the air. The ring then enclosed around the three remaining villains, trapping them in a powerful magical hold. "Good job! As expected of Octagram students, you guys are a bunch of amazing people! Haha!" The A-rank hero laughed loudly. So loud that even the snow made a rumbling sound. After hearing that, he shut his mouth immediately. That was a good choice, because who wants an avalanche after the villain's surprise appearance? "It's… nothing. Anyway, sir,…

"Filthy villain! Haaaa…!" The A-rank hero shouted as he fought back the two villains who relentlessly attacking since earlier. "Grahh!!" Blocking the incoming attacks from the villains, he quickly pushed his advantage. While the villain was staggering and in an unbalanced position, the hero slashed him in the stomach. One fall. The other one disappeared as soon as his friend died and appeared again behind the A-rank hero, his sword at ready to pierce the hero. Clang–! "What?" But, someone had…

In the world where 'good' people exist, there was also bound 'bad' people. Villain. That word alone embeds the stigma of the individual that bore malicious and evil intentions. The good people, or those referred to as 'Heroes', embodied courage, nobility, fighting for justice, and upholding the values that define humanity. Villains, on the other hand, were the epitome of malice and malevolence. They were the enemies of society, driven by greed, power, and revenge, and will at nothing to achieve their…

— Neycute: "Crow, are you free today?" — I.C: "I'm a little busy right now. What's up?" — Neycute: "Oh…" — Neycute: "There's someone, a friend of mine, who wants to meet you." — I.C: "Who?" — Neycute: "It'd be better if you come here directly when you are free." — I.C: "Okay." — Neycute: "Okay." … I turned off my tablet and stored it inside the storage cube. When a device like that was stored inside a storage cube, it couldn't be tracked. That's why I was able to avoid Goose's…

"Fvck!" I almost experienced death. A few days ago, I had a spar with Ember. Which was actually just a trap so I could use on her. But, I'd never thought that… That her mind was full of countless information, memories, experiences, etc. I was overwhelmed by her never-ending consciousness, that my own consciousness almost got trapped inside because of how long I was searching for past memories. So you see… I was sitting on a bench in the park, and in my hand was a rock that I had picked up from…

"You are not supposed to say something like that." Ember closed the book she was currently reading. Her attention was fully on me now. "People may think of you as part of them." I leaned forward, putting my chin on the back of my hands. "Who?" I said. "People." "Who are people, exactly?" "Students. Professors. Instructor. Everyone." "But, I don't think there will be anyone who would think of me like that. They don't even present right now, how would they know?" I smirked. "It's not about whether…
