Golden opened his eyes at twilight and found himself lying beside the Frost Wolf and its little cub. After he asked the system, he sighed in relief as he only slept a little more than a day.Golden still had some injuries which had not healed, but he was in a far better state than before. Although he looked injured, he wasn't fully burnt like before. Golden was very thankful for the Auto-regeneration skill.The wolves seemed to be asleep still, but after taking a closer look, the Frost Wolf was awake.However, its body's state was horrible and didn't seem to have enough power to get on its paws anymore; its life was reaching the end.The last attack from the Fire-wood Tiger was too strong, and without proper healing, there was no way to survive the injuries it provoked. Golden had the Auto-regeneration skill, and he didn't get hit by the worst part of the attack, so he recovered quite fast.The Frost Wolf had no way of healing itself, and no one could heal it there, it could only awai
To Golden, the next sub-quest in the Main Chain Quest was as depressing as the previous.[Reach 1-star in the Origin Path. Reward: Battle Skill and Magic Skill.]Golden already expected that kind of quest because in normal circumstances, reaching the ten points in each stat just before his tenth birthday would already be very good, so it was normal that the next sub-quest was to reach the 1-star Mortal.Golden closed the Quest Menu and focused on revising the Origin Path Training Method he obtained as a reward from the previous sub-quest.The Origin Path Training method was way more difficult than a training method from the Magus Path or the Warrior Path.Golden obtained training methods to become a Magus or a Warrior from his sister, they were the top-quality training methods in the Nacesai Academy, and since Golden saved Ange's life, the Academy approved of letting him have a copy of the methods to study.Of course, Golden didn't need them because he would be practicing the Origin P
Golden was ready to continue with the hunting when the little wolf approached the Fire Wolf's corpse and started eating it.Golden was flabbergasted. Although the little wolf was an addict to eating fresh meat, eating that Fire Wolf seemed excessive even for Golden, who killed it mercilessly.As Golden was pondering the reasons for the little wolf behavior, the system replied to him.[That little wolf has inherited mostly only the bloodline of the Frost Wolf, and the Fire Wolf's part was incomplete. By consuming the Fire Wolf, there is a chance to complete it.]Golden wasn't expecting a reply from the system, but the answer was reasonable as the little wolf had a pure white color like its mother.Golden watched until the little wolf finished eating, it was still looking the same, but its strength increased.After Golden saw that scene, he understood that the world of beasts was very different from the human world.After all, the humans didn't eat each other, although some weird ones d
Golden was thinking about that when the system prompt appeared.[A beast voluntarily formed a life-bound contract with the user. The Origin Qi in the user's body provoked a breakthrough in the beast's body.]Golden looked at the little wolf with a strange face.A Magus could use special techniques to enslave beasts to work for him. Given the usually weak body of a Magus, having a beast to buy time while casting spells was very useful.However, Golden didn't plan to do that because he didn't have a method to do it, nor he wanted to do it.Golden didn't want to part with the little wolf, but he thought that the little wolf's life would be better in its natural habitat rather than going with him as a slave.Originally, Golden wanted to give freedom to the little wolf as he already was responsible for its parent's death. At least the system considered Golden as the killer of both. Moreover, taking it to the outside without a contract would provoke a calamity to the little wolf as the exit
Swordmad offered to escort Golden towards the Nacesai Academy because the 1-star period was the most dangerous time for anyone.The main reason was the loss of the World's Protection, while one's strength was still similar to before. It was very easy to be ambushed and killed.Golden accepted his offer about this matter as that wasn't only to protect him, but also to spend more time together before Golden entered the Nacesai Academy.Swordmad told Golden to wait for him near the entrance while he went to pick a new sword for Golden as the first one was extremely damaged.Golden did as his master said and waited near the limit of the clan terrains while holding Wyba in his arms, as long as he was inside the clan domains he shouldn't be in any danger.However, problems appeared for Golden, and the source was a voice that shouted angrily towards Golden."You kid! What are you doing here!"That was an old man, who after shouting, looked at Wyba."Oh, a wolf cub. Brat, you shouldn't take b
Golden followed Swordmad in silence because he also understood the meaning that his master left the clan.Golden was happy to see how his master cared about him, and since his master left the clan, Golden felt completely detached from the clan.However, he felt that showing happiness about something that had provoked a calamity for the clan would make him look like an evildoer, so Golden didn't open his mouth.Golden didn't care about the clan, but he also didn't wish for the clan's destruction nor any bad thing to it. Since Golden left the clan, to him, the Penny Clan had become like any other clan in the Nacesai City, completely unrelated to him.In almost two hours, Golden and his master reached the doors of the Nacesai Academy, where there were two guards to block any outsiders from entering.Of course, the Nacesai Academy had protective spells that would be activated if some intruder surpassed the guards.The guards weren't an impediment to Golden because he had an identity medal
Ange lived in a huge house inside the Nacesai Academy. Usually, the students lived in dorms with others, but due to her special status, she owned a whole house.When Ange saw Golden at the door of her house, she left at top speed and ran to hug him. She had missed Golden even more than Golden had missed her.In those years, Ange grew a lot.She was already fifteen, so she already looked like a young woman, and was very beautiful. However, her personality hadn't changed even a bit.Ange was already at the 9-star Mortal Rank, and she estimated that she would breakthrough into Rank 1 in a month, reaching Rank 1 Novice Magus.Given her talent, if she didn't focus only on healing spells, she could have reached the Rank 1 long ago, but even with perfect talent, healing spells were difficult to practice and if one wanted to reach the Rank 1 relying only on them was very difficult.Golden also felt that it was good that Ange was slow to reach the Rank 1, otherwise, in a few years, Golden woul
The Fist Battle Class first class was simple sparring among the students; the instructor randomly formed pairs, and the students battled for a whole hour.Golden's opponent was one of the biggest among all the students, but that opponent was someone who only relied on brute force. Furthermore, Golden estimated that even though the guy had such a big body, he still didn't have ten points in strength.He thought that because his opponent seemed a weakling in front of him. Golden wasn't skilled in fist techniques, but he had a good battle sense and perfect stats at his level, so the big guy wasn't enough to make Golden sweat.The big guy was frustrated as initially he thought that he got lucky to spar against Golden, the lucky kid with an influent big sister.However, he understood that even though Golden joined the academy by a shortcut and seemed to be without muscles, he wasn't weak. The big guy learned it through battle.Of course, Golden didn't use his full force nor the Bloodline F
"So what? You have engaged that guy with someone of your clan, but I have engaged Golden with my little sister, so he is almost my brother-in-law. If you want to kill him, you will die under my sword."Durgan disliked the other party, and that was a good moment to announce to more people the fact that he had engaged Golden with his sister, that way, it would be more difficult for Golden to run without trying to meet his sister before.Golden didn't like the reason Durgan gave for helping him because Durgan had used the engagement with his little sister, and that would mean more problems for him later. However, he wouldn't refuse Durgan's help because he was a powerful ally and having him as an ally was equal to having the five members of the Larken Clan as allies."Are you serious? Are you opposing to our Zhan Clan by giving shelter to a traitor?"The Zhan Clan member was enraged, he had already thought that Golden and Serka were dead, but in the end, they were alive, and even Durgan
After being teleported, Aizu was the only one who vomited due to the space-time fluctuations. The fluctuations were even stronger than when they entered the Special Realm, but the nobles were still able to support it due to their training, and Golden's managed to resist it with his skills and mental strength.The room where they appeared was enormous and had a big statue of an old man behind an altar protected by a barrier spell. No one would doubt that it was the statue of the Special Realm's creator.When Golden's group appeared, they weren't the only ones being teleported. Another three groups had also been teleported to the enormous room at the same time.One of those groups was Durgan's group with the other four members of the Larken Clan. It was expected that they managed to reach the end without too many difficulties.However, Golden's group attention focused on another group, Heruk's group. They had also reached the final area, but there was one more person in their group than
The group returned to the tunnel and continued walking for four days until reaching the exit.Thanks to their trap detecting artifacts, they didn't face any problem in those days. Furthermore, all of them used that time to train their Stone Golem spell. After all, using it in an environment full of the earth element was easier.The day they left the tunnel, Golden had managed to improve it until the third level. He didn't know what level Hyrk had reached, but his golem was the best by a huge margin from the others. Hyrk finally was able to show off after all that happened in the Special Realm.The only legacy that suited him before was the Fire Shield, but due to Aizu's incident, he didn't get too much attention by his speed in learning it, and he couldn't use that kind of skill while walking with the others because he could harm his companions.[Vitality points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.][Strength points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.]After lea
The golems were troublesome opponents as they didn't feel pain and could restore themselves automatically. Battling with them was even more exasperating than fighting with Golden as his regenerative speed was slower than the speed of the golems, and his tolerance to pain was also inferior because the golems couldn't feel pain at all.Furthermore, their defenses were extremely strong, so weak attacks didn't have any effect on themBattling with swords alone wasn't enough to destroy them. Everyone needed to use their best Combined Skills, and even using them, it was still difficult to damage the golems.There were two ways to create a golem. One was with the caster supplying the golem with magic directly. In that case, the golem would be eternal as long as the magic provided by the caster didn't stop.The main weakness of the first type was that the caster didn't have an unlimited supply of magic and could get exhausted. Furthermore, if the caster died, the golem would also disappear.T
Aizu didn't know what to say as she hadn't expected that outcome. If she had known that Durgan would offer his sister to Golden, she wouldn't have opened her mouth.She immediately disliked Durgan because she felt that he was selling his sister and made her remember how her own clan sold her. However, she had to admit that being sold to a genius like Golden was better than being sold to a lewd old man, but she was still against forced marriages.Seeing Aizu's strange face, Durgan added some more words."My sister's bloodline can't be cut off. The purity of her is something unheard in the clan, so she needs to have descendants. That is a benefit for the whole clan. She understands the reasons, and she had already accepted them before we started to look for a suitable partner for her."Durgan felt normal that commoner girls had a bad impression of him after seeing him offering his sister to someone he had just met. Thus, he tried to explain the situation better. Even if it was just a mi
"Greetings, Durgan. Really what a coincidence. You are right. We are also looking for a legacy here."Kermu was happy that the other party was Durgan's group. If it weren't for the Larken Clan's order that forced their five members to group together, Kermu would have invited some of them to his group."I see that you have two new members in your group, you should have recruited them among the commoners, right? Are they good enough to move you?"Kermu couldn't tell Golden's true identity as a Zhan Clan's descendant, and he also didn't want to tell Golden's prowess with the sword. If they knew about it, even revealing his status as a member of the Zhan Clan wouldn't stop the Larken Clan's interest in him."The boy is called Golden, he appeared in the same place as our group and wasn't affected by the space-time passage. He showed a good moral character, so we decided to recruit him."Kermu didn't dare to lie because the Larken Clan hate liars, and they were good at detecting lies, but t
After Aizu woke up and Serka confirmed that she didn't have health issues, Golden lost one of the two main worries he had after the volcanic cave incident.At that moment, he could finally focus on his other worry, his new sub-quest.After finishing the previous one, a new one appeared as usual, but it was completely different from the other sub-quests he had in the past.[Sub-quest details not available. Reward: Unknown.]With that kind of description, Golden didn't know what he would need to do to complete the sub-quest.The last sub-quest was easy to understand and very easy to accomplish in his current situation. The contrast with the one following it was too big.The sub-quests had been quite normal before entering into the Special Realm, but the two sub-quests that appeared inside were different than usual.After all, if Golden hadn't gone to the Special Realm, there was no way he could kill someone, even if that person were evil. The laws of the Nacesai Academy would restrict h
The group started to walk again because they had the intention of leaving the volcanic zone as soon as possible. Golden was again carrying Aizu on his back because everyone had accepted that she joined them as part of the group. The main reason was that Golden wasn't willing to leave her alone, and the nobles didn't want to separate from Golden. That time the change of area wasn't as abrupt as before. From a volcano, they reached a mountain range. There, the terrain was still tricky, but at least the heat issues disappeared, so all of them felt better than before. On the second day after starting walking, when the group had just reached the mountain range, Aizu finally woke up. Aizu asked that while being half asleep because she didn't recognize the surroundings and didn't remember what had happened to her. Golden looked at Aizu when he heard her voice. At that moment, the group was resting, and Aizu wasn't on Golden's back. "I was starting to think that you will remain sleepin
Hyrk looked at the guy's corpse."We shouldn't waste the resources he has with him, let's loot the corpse."To Hyrk, that was normal. If the opponent is already dead, the killer should pick up his belongings. The nobles were used to do that after killing their opponents, even though the dead ones were mostly powerless people who had offended their clans."Golden, you are lucky today! This guy has a spatial artifact, although its quality is bad!"After finishing his sentence, Hyrk threw a ring to Golden.Hyrk knew that Golden didn't have a spatial artifact and that he needed one.Moreover, Golden was the one who risked his life to kill the guy, so the rewards also belonged to him, Hyrk wouldn't try to get a share without having participated in the killing.If Golden obtained something that Hyrk needed from the dead guy, Hyrk would ask to make a transaction for another thing of the same value.That was also a rule the nobles had to avoid internal strife, although not all of them followe
