"I choose the Origin Path."Golden decided to make the great bet, the other Paths were safer, but with them, he would limit himself in some way. On the other hand, the Origin Path was dangerous, and Golden knew nothing about it, but it showed danger and difficulty as the main bad points.Golden didn't believe that the system will offer some trash Path. He made a bet for the Origin Path because he already needed to conceal the system, and his Path for training had been difficult from the start.Golden hoped that the Origin Path, besides being the most difficult and dangerous, would also be the most powerful.And even if the Origin Path didn't meet Golden's expectations, being at least something from the system, Golden was sure that it would be a good Path.[Since the user has chosen the Origin Path, the user will obtain some information about it. If, after hearing it, the user regrets the decision, then the user can change the Origin Path for one of the other Paths in exchange for not
[Main Chain Quest: Origin Path Rank 1.]That was the header the system showed for Golden's first Main Chain Quest, and the main objective of this Main chain Quest was to reach Rank 1 Novice in the Origin Path.As for the first sub-quest, it was something Golden didn't expect.[Sub-quest: Become a disciple of a Sword's Master. Reward: Sword Innate Talent (the grade is variable, the more powerful the master, the better the grade).]Golden didn't understand the reasons for the first sub-quest as he never showed any interest in the sword. If the requirement for the Origin Path was training with a weapon, he was already training archery.[The system determined that among all weapons, the sword is the one with more benefits for the user to reach the requirements for the Origin Path. Training with the sword would help to increase Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Dexterity.]Indeed, those were all stats that Golden needed to improve. But he still didn't understand why the reward would be of a
[Sub-quest finished. Reward obtained: Sword Innate Talent: Perfect Grade.]Golden was stunned as he obtained the highest reward. The system determined that Swordmad was the best master for Golden, which seemed a big coincidence since both were in the same clan, so Golden doubted again if it was really a coincidence or the system knew about Swordmad beforehand.Golden opened the Innate Talent Menu to check his new Innate Talent.[Sword Innate Talent: Perfect grade. The best affinity for Swordsmanship. Grants the user the Passive Skill: Sword Mastery.]As far as Golden knew, there were three types of skills: Battle Skills, Magic Skills, also known as Spells, and Passive Skills. To train the first two, it was indispensable to start practicing a Path, while for the third, it didn't matter, but obtaining a Passive Skill was more about luck than any other thing.Passive Skills didn't need to be activated, and training them could be done with the passing of time. The books said that sometime
Usually, after Golden finished the class, Swordmad gave him some advice, and he returned to his room. However, the same day Golden finished the fourth Dynamic Quest, Swordmad said something else."You have been training with me for some time, in the next month's Clan's Gathering, you shall do an exhibition battle and show your progress to everyone."The Clan's Gathering was something that happened once per year, and it was normal for some youngsters to show their abilities in exhibition battles. However, Golden didn't expect that Swordmad wanted him to show off."All right, I won't disappoint you, master."Golden didn't have any reason to refuse because he also wanted to test himself in a battle against others.He continued training until the day of the Clan's Gathering, but his stats and skills remained the same.The day of the Clan's Gathering, Golden was in a very good mood, but it wasn't because of the exhibition battle but was because his big sister would come back to attend the
Golden opened his eyes confused, his memories were fuzzy and his body heavy."You finally awakened, I already thought that you would remain unconscious forever."That was Swordmad's voice, who was beside Golden's bed, sat in a chair."Stop. You look confused. Clear your mind, or even if I explain to you what happened, you won't understand."Golden stopped talking and tried to recall what had happened to him."I went to the Clan's Gathering and won the exhibition battle against Blackor..."Until that moment, he recalled clearly."After that... something weird happened... everyone fell into an illusion... but I wasn't affected... Someone wanted to kill my sister... and I tried to save her...""But I failed... and received a hit in the chest... I died.""To be more exacts, you almost died, you are still alive and completely healed since a long time ago, but you remained unconscious until now."Golden was trying to think more quickly, but his mind wasn't completely clear."Then... for how
[Absolute Protection: Creates a 5-meter field that lasts for 5 seconds. Nothing can interfere with the inside of the field until it disappears. This Legacy Skill can only be used once per month. It doesn't use the user's energy.]"This skill is a real Absolute Protection."Absolute Protection could protect Golden and everything around him from any damage. Even though it only lasted for five seconds and could only be used once per month, if Golden were again in the same situation as in the Clan's Gathering, at least, he would be able to protect himself and his sister for five seconds.If he had lasted five seconds in the Clan Gathering, Swordmad would have been able to save him and Ange, so Golden wouldn't have needed to receive the hit in the place of his sister."Can I improve this Legacy Skill?"That was something very important. If the area and duration could increase, then it would be awesome.[The Legacy Skill is a special type of skill that directly use the Laws of the world to
Inside the Beast Trial, Golden didn't feel like he was inside the Penny clan anymore. He felt like if he was in a wild forest.Golden cautiously walked as he started to look for some edible herbs or fruits and some source of fresh water.When facing the Beast Trial, the beasts weren't the only factor to consider, one needed to survive.Golden had a lot of knowledge about herbs and fruits obtained from books, so he didn't fear eating something poisonous, which was something that ended the lives of many participants before him. The quickest ones to die were always those who died because of poison, not from beasts.Furthermore, Golden had the system to back up the information he remembered. He couldn't make a mistake in remembering something wrong as the system records were perfect.There were a lot of edible herbs and fruits in the forest, which relieved Golden a lot. He could differentiate what he could eat from what he couldn't, but he would be in dire straits if he couldn't find anyt
Yale carefully proceeded while hunting 1-star beasts. He didn't want to be overconfident and enrage many at the same time.Yale was very efficient while hunting. It was difficult to believe that he didn't have any experience because although his traps were ineffective, his arrows were deadly because they hit the weak points of the beasts.A few days after starting his hunting, his Agility points reached nine. However, even though reaching nine points was difficult, the true challenge was reaching ten.The Beast Trial didn't disappoint Yale. In a month since starting the Beast Trial, due to his constant use of archery, his Archer's Senses reached level three, and Stealth reached level two.That was very good, and after a few more days, Yale finally reached ten points in Dexterity, reaching perfection in all the mind stats, and upgrading his Magical Talent to high grade.Until that moment, the requirements to upgrade the Magical Talent had been progressive, but when Yale tried to know h
"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
