"How do you know?"Words were spoken and the trap was closed. Midgard's face lit up with a broad smile. While the young boy was trembling with anguish, she opened her arms wide."After so long…""W-who are you?" How do you know?!"Ignoring his words, she moved closer to him."You have no idea, how long I've been looking for you…""Stay away!... Stay away from me!... You...You...ARGH!"Suddenly, he fell to his knees holding his head, a red glint in his eyes."Wait wait! I'm sorry! I'm sorry-AAaarght!!A red and blue aura covered his body and swirled around him. Midgard stopped and looked with a tender face at the spectacle before her eyes.Soon the whirlwind narrowed and the young man fell silent again, on his knees.The young woman knelt in front of him and placed her hands on his cheeks."Are you okay? Can you st-"Before she could finish her sentence, I grabbed her arms with a red glint in my eyes."Stupid! Stupid! You're really stupid!!! That's why we never call you, you idiot! Thi
The students resided in a large area south of the academy's massive grounds.After registering, I was given a room number and entered a large dormitory building larger than all the others. This dormitory was reserved for high-ranking nobles such as the children of dukes and marquises.A commoner like me could never hope to set foot in this place, but thanks to my agreement with Elizabeth, I received special permission, a royal scholarship from the strongest.My original plan was to collide with nobles who objected to my presence and test my immunity pact, but after a certain event of the day, my plans changed.(*Gamma body*)A strong wind blew through the entrance, passing several students who were chatting and continuing their way through the establishment, crossing stairs and corridors and surprising people on their way.When it reached a vast desert floor, it whirled around and did not appear.(*Sigma Body*)I started to walk but with each step, my body sank into the ground, or rat
The screen of Midgard's system lit up and a circle with strange symbols formed beneath our feet before a beam of light emerged, engulfing us.I was in a multicolored whirlwind, several screens turning around in this magic cyclone and when I started to realize the craziness that was happening, I saw my hand deconstruct into thousands of little cubes. Nearby, the same phenomenon was happening to Midgard who only had her upper body left."What... Is... Haaa-"The deconstruction reached my jaw and soon it was pitch white. I couldn't feel anything, and little by little, my consciousness faded away. Did I make a wrong decision by trusting her?Only a cyclone of screen and energy remained, while the two partners had disappeared.The screens flashed and merged, creating new fluorescent blue screens.[Character selected, all system functions unlocked][Character analysis, Main quest unlocked][Character analysis, convert Kill points][99999 Kill points transferred to your wallet][God Mode unl
The day had arrived, my first day at the academy. I shuffled through the corridors, exhausted from a whole night spent studying the system with Midgard. This woman, or whatever she really was, was a turning point in my life. But it was necessary, thanks to her, the system finally became understandable. We discovered that I had been at max level for a very long time, which meant that no matter how many quests I completed, I was no longer progressing. My stats were a mess and all the elemental stones I had collected were thrown into oblivion, What a tragedy. At least with this new system, Midgard assured me that it would be possible to go further. I was now heading towards my class. Academy classes were divided by rank, so there were several E, D, and only 3 C classes. Honestly, it wasn't that surprising, from rank B onwards, emissaries are hugely sought after by the best guilds and earn fortunes. After all, a B-rank emissary is
Slowly, I grabbed his wrist and pulled it away from my collar. You bark a lot but all you say is that your greatest achievement is being the lucky seed, don't you have anything else to show for it?" "What?! Are you insulting me? I'll kill you!!!" "Then go ahead and try it. Do I know where I am? Yes, but I doubt you realize that. I didn't expect any of you to be this stupid." Silence suddenly falls in the class. Everyone looked at us, first shocked, then gradually with anger. "Did he just..." "This fool..." Many students stood up and approached, but as soon as they reached Agiel, they stopped. moving. "!!!... W....What..." "I... Can't move!" "What's... going on?!" I clenched my fist on Walter's wrist and he started to groan in pain but couldn't move. Other students stood up, realizing something was wrong. "Do you know why the best student in this academy is not a princess?
I looked at the window with a shaky smile. After all this time, words have meaning, so it was clear to me what the quest for evolution was all about.(Is it…)(Yes, it looks like we just needed an extra experience point to trigger it, it's a good thing I'm so diligent.)I couldn't believe it, When I learned that I was at the max level I was very disturbed. First, since I was still E-rank, I started to think that I could never get stronger, but Midgard remained confident and assured me that they would look for a way, but I didn't expect to be so fast.(So? I can feel your heart beating like a girl in front of a handsome man~, more like a beautiful lady in this case.)(Ha, you know what, I'll give you that, great job!)(Ah, yes, praise me more.)(Haha… Let's not be crazy… But really good job.)(More.)(You are amazing!)(Call me 'my love'!)(Oi…)(Fine, fine, I'll save that for later. So, ready to expend your maximum?)With a smile on my face and a burning sensation in my chest, I rushe
"Open the main quest."|Main quest: The frog who wanted to be as big as the ox|Complete a Rank D dungeonI decided to ignore the title and only consider the mission."A D-rank dungeon? A dungeon…Is it a rift?"I noticed previously that the system used other terms to label the emissaries' lexicon. For example, Avatar does not mean a class but the term in a video game to design a playable character, the jobs represented the branches and therefore the most likely was that the rank D dungeon was a rift."Um... This could be a problem... I just got promoted to D-rank, can I complete a rift?... Should I do it by myself?"This could really be a problem, firstly there is a huge difference between fighting random beasts and fighting in an actual rift. Rifts are home to a form of monster much more dangerous than the average in nature: disasters.Unlike the other monsters, Disasters had a form of organization, combat strategies, and a hierarchy with a monster among monsters at the top, the boss
A few weeks had passed since classes started at the academy. In a large meeting room, a group of students were gathered wearing the traditional red outfit of the student council.Iris sat next to a grunting Barron and thumbed through a book; the other council members looked bored. Footsteps got closer and suddenly the door opened, revealing Hope and Thomas."We... We arrived in time!""... Everyone's here, you idiot, we're anything but on time."A young man with short blond hair coughed to impose silence and the two men went to Iris's side in embarrassment.“Alright, now that the stars of the day have finally come, we can start the meeting.”“Sorry, this crazy guy has a fetich for training and doesn’t know when to stop.”“Hey!”“Fufu, it’s all right, it’s never a failure to train, but let’s try to be on time next time, okay? S so as we said before, today we’re going to decide the list of students who will be selected for the school exchange, so I ask the representatives of each divisi
(A few weeks ago)In the royal castle, the Queen sat on the edges of her fountain. Charming ladies, wearing chitons, sat around her, some singing captivating melodies and others with harps, playing light music, a true heaven on earth.The Queen took a glass of grape juice served to her by one of the young ladies and drank a few sips, when further away, the wind blew, followed by the appearance of a servant with elf ears."Queen Gloria, I'm back."She curtseyed to the queen who handed her her glass, smiling."Well, I felt bad for letting one of my precious nymphs perform such a shameful task.""Do not worry, my Queen, it is my pleasure to be a weapon for the kingdom.""Hm, come, join us."She took a few steps forward, and one of the ladies opened her hands and blew towards her, spreading a pink wind that covered the servant and illuminated her clothes.The spark faded gradually, revealing the outfits replaced by an angelic white chiton.The servant slowly walked towards her but suddenl
"Hello everyone, I hope you've been well during these past months, for those who got chosen as knights of course. For the others like me, it has been a wonderful 2 months, going to studies learning new things, with the same people, having to see the empty seats of our classmates who got chosen... Even some E-rank have beautiful noble ladies... There were boys but maybe there are ulterior motives..."“HM-HM!!!” Thomas coughed."Oh, yeah, let's get back to today's topic. I am Maxim, but for the ladies, Max, or Sir Max, or Sir M... Sounds like maso... And today we are reunited for the 3rd meeting of the student council, after the break. Allow me to introduce you to some special guests."Maxim took a few steps stopped in front of Iris's table and curtsied."From the very first time, this year, we have the blessing of enthroning our wonderful princesses, the Queen in our heart, the symbol of grace and beauty, Lady Freya... and Cid, the unworthy."Cid groaned in his seat while Freya ignored
The train, carrying Dora's group, towards the capital passed through a sleeping landscape. Cabins equipped with beds served as dormitories and were divided between the girls and Dora and Hope.Dora turned around in his bed, seeing the images of Mary and Lilith leaving, again and again.He clutched his chest, troubled by this burning sensation that hadn't existed in him years before.Regret? Sadness? Melancholy? He couldn't give it a name and decided to walk to clear his mind.He disappeared from his bed and reappeared in another car, but as he used his power, he held his hand.Our power shouldn't be wasted on this.He opened his eyes, looking at his reflection in the glasses as if he had just seen a monster.He was breathing heavily and his hands were shaking."What is happening?""!!!... Mid... Midget...?""What are you doing? You don't need to speak out loud, do you want someone to hear you?... What's bothering you so much?"He calmed down a bit, looking at his fingers, even though
Leon was lying on his back, looking at the blue sky, he wasn't thinking about anything in particular, or even feeling.Little by little, everything turned white, everything around him disappeared and when he blinked, he was in his hometown, in his little house next to his grandmother.She was about to read him a book about the hero, but as soon as she opened the book, he felt uneasy."Being a hero isn't so great after all."A hero must fight to the end, isn't that too tiring? Maybe a normal life as a shopkeeper would be better? Especially when we have the blessing of the emissaries. You can work better and you don't have the burden of always getting stronger. You're not competing against nature's tricksters like avatars...He didn't feel anything, but he smiled, he was happy.He raised his hand and whispered."... just... just... you wait... andma... I'll... I'll take care of... the shop... don't... don't... do not worry..."The hand hit the ground, and his fighting spirit disappeared.
Leon's eyes twitched frantically and his poor self fell back, perhaps in an attempt to wake up from a nightmare, as the monster before him looked at him curiously, its yellow eyes reflecting the soul of a soon-to-be broken hero."Wh-What... What...""Hm?... Curious, it's too early for you to be afraid of us. Take a breath and calm down."Leon took a step back, feeling a shiver across his back."How do you plan to reach us if you keep walking away? You wanted to play the hero, so we're just giving you a suitable opponent. Let's play."He took a step forward and spread his arms."Hello, Hero. We are the monster with the yellow eyes, and our name is... G####"A powerful wave of energy emanated from his body, spreading across the plain.Leon felt his body burning and freezing to the extreme, several times in the blink of a second and instinctively dropped his sword... Or so he thought."....?"He tried to move his body, to move backward, but nothing happened. He realized he could no longe
The sun was high in the sky, as was the tension in the air as a hero prepared to face a monster on a plain. Everyone was gathered in a corner, and several meters in front of them, the 2 founders of Shining Sword were facing each other. Kraim stood in the middle and was about to give the signal."Very well... So this is a battle to determine the future of the Shining Sword team. If the gray-haired snake wins, Shining Sword will be dismantled, the false hero will retire, and many dreams will be crushed... If only someone with just a little compassion, a little love, and a human heart, would certainly have mercy... But who am I kidding?""Indeed." Dora nodded indifferently. Kraim sighed and glanced at Leon with annoyance."Well... I'm not a hype man, but it really is suicide. The rules are the same as a traditional mock battle, you use everything in your power, and kill if you want to live a life in prison... Well, even there, the law is fine for royal knights, so... Begin when I'm far
The night was cool and the breeze brought a sweet, and spicy scent to Dora's nose as he sat alone on a plain. He had his arms crossed and kept his eyes closed."You're awfully quiet tonight, little toy."A familiar voice woke him from his torpor."I'm just thinking.""Are you sure? I should be able to read your thoughts, so what is this silent thought?"He opened his eyes and looked at the starry night."My heart and brain are bothering me."" What's wrong? Do you regret parting with your friends?He remained silent for a few seconds and sighed."I don't know, I've never felt like this before... We have to go our own way but... I wouldn't mind if it lasted longer."The silence was deafening, broken only by Dora's breathing.Suddenly, he felt the presence of someone or something behind him. A chill ran down his spine as a shadowy figure materialized and sat beside him.Midgard was next to him, in her normal form, that of a young adult with tired eyes and unkempt hair."... Oh, I forgot
I don't remember who I was or where I came from, I know I'm not from there because my parents were discussing crossing a border. I saw snowy fields, white, cold, and endless lands, but what I remember most was the anguished faces of my parents.I know today that they were worried, I didn't understand why, but I suppose they were right since they were killed.We were in a car going at high speed when I heard a deafening noise.The car hit a group of bushes and several people approached us. My mother came to pick me up and hugged me warmly, telling me that I had to survive.My father hugged us, then took something out of his bag and rushed towards them, my mother focused her magic to create a bird that grabbed me and took me away.My last memory was the roar of gunfire. The bird carried me for a few minutes before disintegrating further into the forest.I got up and walked around a lot crying, I don't remember why I cried, I'm more intrigued by why I kept walking.I don't remember what
“The healer is the most important role in a party.”It's a teaching I received in the orphanage where I grew up. When I was 14, the director of the orphanage explained to us that the rift situation was getting worse. I never really understood what it was, boys often use that term when playing heroes and monsters, so I just thought it was a childish game, but if the director is talking about that then should that be important?They called people in black suits, I've been here long enough to know it wasn't moms and dads coming to take us to better places, no one cares about us after all, we get old and then we leave, it has always been like that.They came with strange crystal balls to search for something in us, I just wanted to do it before lunch, there's usually not enough food for everyone so you have to hurry, but this day was very strange for me.People in suits would ask us to put our hands on the crystal balls and then usually say something like fingers or nothing, but when my t
