Helix sighed as he looked at his system interface. "Let's get this over with." He muttered under his breath. Ding! A new pop-up window opened, and a chat box filled the screen. Words started typing themselves out at a blistering speed. "Oh my god! Omigod, omigod, omigod! You called! I was like, call…-

"Helix…." Elsa called out in a worried tone. His face showed true crushing defeat. He said nothing, walked into the center of the room and collapsed on the floor. "Come here, Helix." She requested with a tender expression. Elsa had rushed back to their room after being approached by a dozen people. Their reaction was perplexing. She couldn't tell whether they criticized Helix or called him an unparalleled genius. However, when she heard that Helix had won a challenge against a grandmaster and…

"Ughhhhhhhhh." Helix groaned. "Oh good, you're awake. That means we're ready to start your torture session." Tilo announced with a serious voice. Helix's eyes shot open. He was currently laying on Tilo's bed, and cold sweat poured down his back. "I have to punish you and want to know what I'm looking at. Torture accomplishes both of those things, don't you think?" He asked with a murderous gaze. "Can I tell you what you're looking at and then accept getting hurt? I understand your anger, but I'd…

Helix cracked his neck and started stretching his body. "What? Giving up on attacking me with a magic circle so soon?" Tilo laughed. Helix gave him a slight smile but stayed silent. "You know those specific stretches won't help your body from getting hurt, right?" Tilo continued with narrowed eyes. "Yeah. But it's good form, don't you think?" Helix asked with a mocking smile. "Hmmm. I suppose you're not wrong. Are you ready to begin?" Tilo chuckled. "Give me two months with a sword trainer, help me…

The training grounds were a sand-filled arena on the far edge of the town they were staying in. When Helix arrived, he looked around. The people traveling in the caravan saw him walking with Tilo and followed behind him in interest. News quickly spread, and soon the teachers and grandmasters arrived with their students to watch what was happening. "Are you waiting for everyone to show up, so I work hard not to embarrass myself?" Helix sighed. "Hoh? You're quite sharp. That's exactly what I'm doing."…

"Well, well. If it isn't the great Helix Margrave." A man announced. He clapped his hands slowly as soon as Helix entered the man's trailer. The man had dark, curly brown hair neatly groomed on the sides. His eyes were olive green, and his face was handsome, clean-cut, and had a leathery appearance. He looked like a battle veteran around sixty who aged well. It was a room on wheels that a horse-pulled similar to his. However, it was large and far more elaborate. The sight was shocking compared to…

Helix blinked twice, and his eyebrow started twitching when he opened his eyes. "I don't know whether to laugh because they followed my strategy or cry because they gave me this thing." After a moment of staring at it without progress, he sighed. "Well, at least I know that the rumors weren't baseless." He muttered. In front of his eyes was a 3x2-foot card with bold letters. When he saw what was written on the bottom, Helix sighed again. "It's official. It's definitely under the cry category." He…

"Don't say sorry, dummy! He had a crush on you!" Charlotte cried. "This is where you say; I love you, take me how I am, and then take~me—ow!" "Charlotte, how do you know he had a crush on Marie?" Riley asked. "Hmmm? Weren't you listening?" Charlotte asked in bewilderment. "I was always watching Hellie. He was interesting, and I was… how do I put this… a consensual~stalker?" "Consensual stocker? Normally that's called an obsessive , Charlotte. Know your PC language; get it right." Atlas…

"One day, Helix ran up to me while talking to Macron and said, !" Everyone hushed down in excitement. "I asked what was wrong because it was so uncharacteristic. He said, !" The group burst into laughter again. Helix was confident working through strategies but couldn't hold a basic conversation to save his life. He didn't know how to handle crying in any situation, either. Even after dozens of people came to him crying, he didn't learn anything from it. Helix genuinely lacked talent in it. "So I…

The women got excited when they heard Atlas was willing to talk about his relationship with Helix. He wasn't a person to share unnecessary information unless it was necessary for context. . "I'd love to know how you met." Riley announced with a warm voice. "Me too." Marie followed. "Yeah. It's been a mystery." Charlotte said with a discerning tone. "Haaaaah. Alright. So I got kicked out of a gambling den a week after we arrived." Atlas chuckled. "A… week!?" Marie cried. "Why are you so…
