Several days passed, and before he knew it, the end of the semester had arrived. The graduation ceremony was much more extravagant than he would have expected. Almost every student had their noble families come to the event, which meant there was a lot of stuffiness and tension amongst the studen...
2025-05-08 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIf Julius wanted to play it safe, he could choose [Instantaneous Step]. He had been planning to select this skill for a while, but it was only quite recently that the possibility of going with another skill presented itself.
However, now that he has seen the large number of cool-sounding op...

He left Lord Violet and his daughter with a sour taste in his mouth. Nothing really had gone his way and there was nothing he could have done to change that either. He was merely in such an awful situation.
Who would have imagined that House Violet would dec...
2025-05-06 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHe was very surprised when he saw Lily, her father, and Marcus all standing outside the barrier. He hadn’t been expecting to see them anytime soon. Did they perhaps leave some kind of tracking skill on him that he wasn’t able to notice?
If that was the case, he needed to figure out how ...
2025-05-05 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe man was good. Very good. It took everything Julius had within himself to just keep up with his speed. However, it was also a great opportunity to test his close combat skills against someone who outmatched him physically.
The results were… satisfactory. He wasn’t completely beaten, ...

He felt more perplexed than anything else. In all of his years, he hadn’t quite met a target like this one. It was like the boy didn’t care that he was trying to kill him. It was as if his life didn’t matter at all.
It was deeply concerning, and it wa...
2025-05-02 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAcquiring a Space Concept had opened a lot of doors for Julius. Not only had he already evolved a skill he had been wanting to evolve for a long time, but he now had new opportunities for other skills.
Skills such as [Flash Step] and [Spatial Crack].
Which was why after he had split ...

Lily, her father, and Marcus walked past a pair of guards without giving them a second glance. One thing her father told her ever since she was young was to act confident even when you weren’t. Otherwise, the other party will take advantage of you and get more ou...
2025-04-30 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Lily eventually came out from the back, she looked over at his direction with a large smile and walked over to him.
As she got close, she opened her arms, and Julius, being the person he was, also extended his arms. However, much to his surprise, she walked right by him and into the we...
2025-04-29 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostJulius found himself roaming the streets of Heston with Lily and Marcus right beside him. They had insisted on coming with him, considering that he had been attacked not too long ago.
Part of his reason for doing so was that he wanted some time to relax and enjoy shopping around. The other ...

“What am I doing here?” He asked her, confused at his situation. Truthfully, he had been half expecting to be somewhere in the middle of a forest because the teleportation went wrong. However, he never would have expe...
2025-04-26 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter all of the time he had spent meditating and trying to find a way to acquire a Space Concept, he finally managed to pull it off. A small part of him had written it off, and he was tempted to wait until he reached Tier 4 to try again. After all, there were still plenty of ways he could improv...
2025-04-25 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt took him several more hours, a couple of pints of blood, and a hell of a headache before he finally managed to connect the third one. However, once it was established, it wasn’t too hard to maintain.
And when he did, he sat back and laughed to himself. He knew he must have accomplishe...
2025-04-24 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostJulius found that [Spatial Crack] required a special level of patience. He was still continuing his experiments with how it reacted with his body, but the progress had slowed.
Although he had learned that it was possible to withstand some of the destructive nature of untamed space by using ...
2025-04-23 19:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostHe did his best not to gloat to Aubrey. While she had a habit of bragging about her victories, he didn’t want to be the same as her. He would win with a bit more class.
That said, he still made sure she knew who had won. It was only a smile here and there, but he could tell that she was a...
2025-04-22 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the semifinals rolled around, he already knew he would face Aubrey. The brackets had been set for a while, and with Edgar losing to her and him beating Liam, their meeting had already been predestined.
Aubrey hadn’t stopped talking smack to him since last night. He dealt with it, tho...

For the first time since the semester started, she had left Heston to visit home once again. It was the same as she remembered. Large, gorgeous, and had more people than she could count running around.
She took a deep breath as she walked by the garden her mo...
2025-04-19 19:00:36 +0000 UTC View PostJulius was very glad he had fought Irene. He had learned a lot and could implement so many of her techniques into his own style. It helped that she had a fire affinity as well, which translated well to his own skill set.
He had never attempted to infuse his own mana into another person’s ...

“Good luck!”
“You got this!”
“No pressure!” Brienne called out.
All of her friends wished her the best and cheered her on as she left for her match. However, she found that she almost snapped at Brienne before she could stop herself. ...
2025-04-17 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostDespite not taking that long, his experimentation paid off more than he thought it would.

Unfortunately, his healing skill saw a plateau in how much it could gain using the ...
2025-04-16 19:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThere was something about relaxing on the beach in the early morning and enjoying the brisk breeze as you watched the dawn rise. It was already getting a little bit warmer nowadays, but it was still nippy as the sun rose over the horizon. Not that it mattered to Julius. He could probably be comfo...
2025-04-15 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostJulius let out a tired sigh of relief as Liam finally went down. His opponent was a persistent one, he had to give him that.
Julius had to coat his entire fist with his aura in order to hit the other boy through whatever skill he had been using. While he likely could have kept on attacking ...

2025-04-12 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJulius took the familiar walk down the tunnel toward the stadium. At this point, the crowd noise was actually comforting, and he barely heard it in the background.
When he eventually exited the tunnel and saw the colorful pops of mana exploding through the sky, he grinned. He would never ge...
2025-04-11 19:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostPeople in the stands were surprised when they saw Edgar lose. After all, Edgar was one of the favorites to win. In contrast, Aubrey was a strong but considered a weaker contestant.
Julius wasn’t surprised, though. Neither were the others. They were cheering just as loudly, if not more so,...

With four of them being in the top sixteen, it was bound that they would face off against each other. In this case, it was Aubrey and Edgar...

When Mackenzie told him and Aaron about the job, they had both been a bit hesitant. It didn’t have to deal with the fact that they were killing a person. No, they had taken plenty of assassination jobs before.
However, they usually strayed from those involv...
2025-04-01 20:12:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing he did was walk toward the edge of the city. He didn’t tell the others, but he had been thinking really hard about how he was attacked. The timing was very strange. It was only when he had left the others and was somewhat alone that she decided to attack him.
That made him...
