Sitting on the edge of his bed with his legs crossed, Rylan closed his eyes. Behind him, standing up, Gerard touched his back. Instead of circulating his mana as he usually did, he let it flow through his body as if he were about to cast Magic Missile, the only spell he knew. After some time, Ger...
2025-01-02 15:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe blade had aimed straight for Evenon’s throat. Unshaken by the collision, Rylan pulled the blade back and grabbed the hilt with both hands. Evenon had no time to think about how the boy was moving so quickly or about the power behind the thrust.
A slash fell upon his Shield as the well...
2025-01-02 15:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostOn his way to the Flameheart estate, Rylan seriously contemplated this. Roland had killed far too many people for him to be averse to the idea. Evenon was an opportunistic parasite that leeched off the young and the lost. He offered them a severe addiction or even actively ruined their lives in e...
2025-01-02 15:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan adjusted the sword on his waist, looking at the group of seven soldiers before him. Jack, Scott, Daniel, and Raniel were among them. The soldiers talked among themselves. Behind him, Sarah stood silently. He glanced at the System notifications floating in front of him, wiping the sweat on h...
2025-01-02 15:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostRylan readied himself. To prevail, he would need to mix and match different sword styles. As he could only use a single Sword Art before running out of energy, he would need to save it for the best moment.
Now that Father is using dual casting, he’ll keep his Shield up at all times. 2025-01-02 15:18:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Silence reigned for a few seconds.
Evenon’s objective was simple: he knew that the past Rylan wouldn’t have any reason to refuse this. Even if the soldiers had already returned to the estate and talked to Gerard, he still wouldn’t have cared. Rylan lived for each and every hit; that w...
2025-01-02 15:18:01 +0000 UTC View PostEvenon drummed his fingers on the desk. In front of him, two guards stood by the door, one on each side, unmoving. Only the sound of his fingers against the wood resounded. Ever faster, ever louder. Slowly, he frowned. The desire to Whisper to the messenger surged, but he knew he needed to stay c...
2025-01-02 15:18:01 +0000 UTC View PostEvenon looked at the bowing man in front of him with a heavy frown. He spoke.
“Are you certain?”
His voice carried a clear edge. The bowing subordinate trembled.
“Y-Yes, boss.”
Silence. Evenon looked at the ceiling.
“You can go.”
The man bowed repea...

2025-01-02 15:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostRylan’s biggest priority was keeping the troll from aiming for the soldiers. Using the Falling Snow Steps, he kept circling the troll and attacking, without committing too much to any blow.
It’s fast, but only when compared to the other troll.
It couldn’t catch up to hi...
2025-01-02 15:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostIn an instant, Rylan evaluated the other party. The speaker was a man of average height and build, wearing light leather armor and a cloak. There was no hood to hide his face or unusual clothing, which actually made him appear inconspicuous. Above all, it was a face that Rylan recognized.
H...
2025-01-02 15:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostRylan dashed towards the enemy, unwilling to let it get too close to the soldiers before he knew what it was capable of. The distance between the two was narrowed by the second. The moment he got within two meters of the troll, it raised its right arm, claws glinting against the rays of sunlight ...
2025-01-02 15:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostRylan raised an eyebrow.
“He wants me to meet him in the main room?”
“Yes.”
He had kept track of time. It had been around an hour since he started his meditation. It was possible that the Vaard family’s envoy hadn’t left yet; if that was the case, it meant that Rylan...
2025-01-02 15:15:02 +0000 UTC View PostCalan Vaard breathed in the fresh air as he opened the windows of his study room. There was no better way to start the day. With a smile on his face, he looked at the scenery outside.
A beautiful garden spread out. Red, yellow, and white flowers joined one another to create a harmonic pictu...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostHis brother blinked and then frowned. Rylan continued.
“In a world like this, we need power to protect ourselves and what we treasure. I’m already working on strengthening myself and the soldiers,” His tone was firm, “But you need to make use of your talent.”
Aelfric scoffed...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan sat on his bed, shirtless and alone. His deep breathing carried a certain rhythm. All of his attention was focused on the whirlpool of mana revolving around his Mana Core. Mana flowed into it from the atmosphere, at a much faster pace than before. However, there was no need to feel proud of...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan quickly walked through the halls of the mansion, reaching the study in the center. He entered. His father was staring at the garden through the room’s sole window. Rylan inched closer, appreciating the sight of the orange and red flowers drifting in the wind. Neither of them said anything...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt was almost completely dark. Under the dim candlelight, he walked up to the bed. Aelfric lay on it, staring at the ceiling. He turned to Rylan, dark circles under his eyes. His clothes were damp with sweat. His expression changed as he looked at Rylan. He extended his hand; it was shaking. Ryla...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostBehind the Flameheart mansion, surrounded by red and orange flowers, in the middle of a large clearing, Rylan and Gerard stood. The leaves of the nearby trees rustled in the breeze, as a few of them freed themselves and fluttered in the wind. The atmosphere around the clearing was peaceful, but R...
2025-01-02 15:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan unsheathed his sword and looked at the blade as the sun shone down on it. With an approving nod, he turned to the soldiers. They had finished putting away the spears and were all looking at him, including Jack. He let them organize themselves before walking to the forefront. Jack joined the...
2025-01-02 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan withstood the persistent gazes as he entered the Adventurer’s Guild, carrying the hobgoblin’s head. He walked to the counter and placed the head over it, not caring about the fact that it was still bleeding. The brown-skinned, bearded man stared at it before shifting his gaze towards Ry...
2025-01-02 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostOn the way to their destination, Rylan mentally organized all the information he had about goblins and hobgoblins. It wasn’t much, which was why he kept asking Sarah questions about them. She answered every question calmly. After nearly half an hour of questioning and thinking, he came to a con...
2025-01-02 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe man was thin and of average height, with long brown hair and small eyes. His expression had contorted into a smile. Yet, Rylan could still see the shock hidden beneath it. Slowly, the man clapped.
“As expected of the young master. To think you could kill three goblins so easily. I’m...
2025-01-02 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostRylan left the room and narrowed his eyes. Robert and Sarah waited for him side by side; he wore a strange smile, while she merely looked at Rylan with a slightly furrowed brow. Robert bowed in an exaggerated motion.
“I’m sure your discussion was very fruitful, Master! Please, allow me ...
2025-01-02 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostRylan wore a slimy smile as he waded through the streets. Behind his smirking expression, however, there was a Sword Saint. He accurately grasped his environment, taking note of all the alleys and nooks where an attack could come from. Every person that crossed him was carefully studied. Of cours...
2025-01-02 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostEvenon waited for his subordinate’s report to finish with a smile on his face. He nodded.
“You can go.”
The man bowed and left the room. The report’s contents had been simple: Rylan Flameheart had arrived and was seeking Evenon personally. There was nothing strange about it; t...
2025-01-02 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe Mages blinked, then bowed slightly and opened the gate. Rylan let out a sigh as he walked through them, circulating his mana out of habit. He was now in the family’s garden. The red and orange flowers fluttered in the breeze under the moonlight, creating the illusion that the garden was on ...
2025-01-02 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostRylan breathed deeply as he returned to his room from the soldiers’ morning training session. There would be another one in the afternoon, but it was still too early to push his body so far. He opened the door to his bedroom, looking at the food on the table. It was in accordance with his new d...
