"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
At night, light could still be seen in the library of one of the biggest clans of Nacesai City. Inside there was only a six-year-old kid reading thick books.The boy had messy short hair and dark circles under his almost black eyes due to the lack of sleep. His name was Golden Penny, one of the legitimate sons of the Penny Clan. Golden's father was an influential figure in the clan, but he had a lot of sons and daughters, legitimate as well as illegitimate.Usually, illegitimate children had almost no rights in the clan, unless they displayed extraordinary talents and then became recognized by the clan. However, they were only allowed to live in the clan until they grew up when they would need to become servants or lose the rights to live in the clan domains.Golden's mother was one of the official wives of his father, and even the servants gossiped about how there was real love between his father and mother. Under such circumstances, Golden's standing in the clan should have been a v
[The conditions have been fulfilled. The Last Wish System is now unlocked.][Last Wish System is launching. Please wait.]At that moment, a progress bar appeared in Golden's mind. After two minutes, it was complete.[Last Wish System launch has finished successfully. Golden Penny has been registered as the system's user. You can start using the Last Wish System.]Golden was excited, but before he could do anything, the system spoke again.[Do you want to start the Last Wish System's tutorial?]Golden still didn't know what functions exactly the Last Wish System had, so he said in a loud voice.However, the system didn't react, and he tried again."I want to start the tutorial!"The system remained unchanged. Golden stopped speaking as he noticed that it was already very dark, and no one else was in the library. He was lucky because if someone were there, he would be scolded, and more importantly, the system's existence could have been revealed to others, or at least they could have th
Once the Innate Talent Menu opened, Golden saw in the first line the words [Last Wish System] without any description more than [Special Innate Talent].Of course, the Last Wish System counted as Golden's Innate Talent, he already predicted it. Golden felt that was the only explanation for the system's existence, the system was a special type of Innate Talent.Special Innate Talents could be the worst or the best, any Innate Talent which had any functionality other than directly making practice easier was considered a special type. Thus, some were very useful while others were trash, but the good thing about all Special Innate Talents was that unless the user wanted to reveal them, no one would be able to know about the existence of the Special Innate Talent.Under that, there was only one more line [Magic Latent Talent: Lowest grade] with a simple description [The lowest kind of talent to practice magic].Seeing that, Golden sighed. It was still possible for him to practice magic, bu
As Golden read it, he understood that he was left with only one path to advance, he needed to increase at least one point in Dexterity."Increasing my Dexterity by one point shouldn't be difficult, I can think of several ways to do it, but I want to do it the most optimal way. If I can increase it to ten points instead and the Quests follow the same pattern, I can obtain a High-grade Magical Talent."The system immediately replied.[The most optimal way for the user to increase the Dexterity points would be to practice mortal's archery. At the same time, it will also increase the Strength points.]Indeed, the traditional archery of mortals was very good to train Strength and Dexterity, and as he could only increase his Dexterity to continue using the Quest Menu, it was a very good option. Furthermore, he wanted to increase his Strength points because he felt ashamed of having only one point.The system seemed to know that as it suggested the mortal's archery. Usually, only the ones wh
After hearing the notification, Golden smiled and continued his training. He wasn't satisfied with only two points.Golden's continued training until the seventh day when he started the archery lessons. In that short time, he managed to increase his Strength points to three, but not only that, Golden's Vitality points increased to four.With the stats Golden had at that moment, only the Agility points remained under the average mark for his age. Using the system's stats, the average for the physical stats of a six-year-old kid was three, so Golden couldn't be considered weak among those at his age after his training, but he couldn't be regarded as overly strong either.Of course, in the mind stats, Golden was extremely outstanding because the average was only two points. However, Golden cared more about his weak points as they could improve much more.Golden reached the archery training ground while lost in his thoughts."So, you are that famous bookworm."A tall man with a hawk-like
Golden didn't expect to increase his Dexterity yet. He thought he would need at least another week, but he didn't include in his calculations the effects of his newly acquired Innate Talent.Golden didn't use the system until he went back to his room, lacking that Dexterity point was something that had blocked him from doing anything else in the Quest Menu, except for his newly unlocked Dynamic Quests.Golden seated in his room and went to the Quest Menu. Then he finished the Skill Quest he completed when obtained the eighth point in Dexterity.Golden's Magic Latent Talent reached medium grade, and a new Skill Quest appeared, named [Magical talent upgrade: Medium-high]. The requirements followed the previous ones. At that moment, Golden required at least 9 points in the three mind-related stats.Finishing the previous Quest also completed the requirements to finish [Elemental Affinity] and obtain a perfect grade Elemental Affinity. Golden didn't hesitate as he finished the Quest and q
"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

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
