The Secrets I Forgot
Humanity in the modern era considers itself highly advanced, with remarkable technology and sufficient wisdom. However, what about those who came before, those who preceded humanity, who erected colossal towers, hid themselves within the mists of history, and now watch over humanity from beyond the vast cosmos?

Chapter: Fight the Man in the Red Cape"I have some advice for you," he simply said while waiting for his reaction. Stephen was surprised before firmly nodding, indicating that he was ready to listen to this advice."Think about it at all times for at least a week," Rin then advised with a warm smile. Stephen could not help but be perplexed. Every magician knew how risky this kind of thing was, so he did not know whether he should listen to him or not."I am your guide and you have proven that you want to trust me. Besides, we are all in the same mess, being pursued by some bastard from the alleys. Just trust me enough and you will see." Upon hearing Rin this time, Stephen nodded with a smile. He did not know how, but he knew that he had to trust him.A magician's instinct was not something to be taken lightly.And I hope that once this matter is settled, you will finally agree to tell me about those whispers you hear, since you seem to be hiding something... Rin thought inwardly, more obsessed with this matter of the whis

Chapter: Stan's AnomalyRin, who was running, suddenly stopped upon realizing that everything had returned to normal. He couldn't help but chuckle. What happened? It looks like the day when I made the wish in front of the chained tree. he thought while pondering over it. After a long moment, he turned around and headed toward the classroom, intending to think about it there. ________________ 12:21 PM At the end of classes, Rin and Key both headed to the magician club. Of course, Key had to send her bodyguard away and tell him to lie by saying that he had indeed brought her back to the magician club, which allowed her to simply leave with Rin. Sharon was typing on her computer when the door slowly opened, then Rin and Key entered while talking. "..." She couldn't help but stop all movement and focus on them. After all, although many people didn't know Key because she almost never went out, some people saw her during grand ceremonies for nobles, and Sharon had already seen Key at this kind of event

Chapter: ImpostorWhy the hell did you have to choose the magician club? And then there's Charly who wants to create problems for me... Rin thought about the situation a little longer before sighing deeply. The fact that Key's mother was a magician surprised him, but not that much. After all, Key's father, Henry, was a Neph holder, so it wouldn't be very surprising if there were other supernatural people like him in her surroundings."Okay! When is your mother supposed to take you there, by the way?" he simply asked Key while waiting for an answer. However, Key nodded before answering, "No... she told me to go there after classes and that she had already talked to a guide, who will welcome me.""Very well, I'll accompany you there after classes," Rin said with a slight laugh while scratching his head. He had to go there anyway after classes. Key was so playful that she almost cheered as she raised her hands slightly._______________Stan was walking down the street opposite the entrance to the Universi

Chapter: The magician and HideoRin smiled slightly as his heart began to beat rapidly. He simply could not believe that this person had managed to distinguish "magician" from "Hideo." He could not help but think that this situation was going too far.But Charly began to speak, pulling him from his thoughts.[ Congratulations on investigating Hideo's house, this was of great help to Charly. ][ Reward: A new supernatural ability has just been added: Sleep. ][ Sleep: it consists of forcing a person into a limited deep sleep and thus missing a good part of the story's progression. ][ Assimilation rate of the first stage of Neph has increased to 20%. ][ Would you like to see your status? ]" In the end, all my abilities have a strong connection to the story..."

Chapter: Another Unexpected EncounterStephen felt his body become heavier as a pure blue feather appeared before him and violently pushed him backward, making him stop with difficulty once he had moved five meters away from the alley. If he hadn't been a magician and had not controlled his body well, he would surely have fallen by now. He immediately came back to his senses, no longer bewitched by the being inside the dark alley, as he watched the pure blue feather fly through the air and head behind him toward Rin, who was approaching. Rin held Script Writer before letting out a sigh of relief. "You? What are you doing here?" Stephen asked as he turned toward him. However, at that very moment, a cold snort echoed from the alley as the sound of footsteps could be heard. Stephen abruptly turned around as he frowned. "Stay behind me, I'll deal with this person..." he said through gritted teeth. He had spent so much time searching for his wife that seeing her now, and worse, apparently being manipulated by someone, enra

Chapter: Hideo's PhotographRin walked calmly while cautiously looking around him. The farther he went down, the stronger the pulling sensation became, making him frown even more deeply. It was the only place in the house where there were cobwebs, dust, and everything that made it look like a truly abandoned house. Rin searched here and there, but he found nothing in the basement. "Wait! Where did Nygoroth end up?" he wondered as he finally stopped. He couldn't believe that person was completely absent from this house, yet every message had told him to come here. [That's exactly what I thought! Now I understand why I couldn't make sense of the course of events.] "What do you mean?" Rin immediately asked Charly as he looked up in confusion. She replied calmly, [When Charly tried to connect to the mirror in your room and see this Nygoroth, she couldn't see anything except this empty house, which made her doubt what was happening.] Rin held his head as he thought, unable to understand what all of this mea

Chapter: Chen Badao Makes His Move."Isn't this turtle supposed to never awaken, no matter what methods are used?" the middle-aged man wondered as he flew above the forest as a beam of light, naturally making sure not to be noticed by the turtle.His expression was a mixture of joy, excitement, and fear, as though, despite how important this turtle was, it was just as dangerous._______________As the spiritual energy released by the turtle spread outward, it reached the well where Ye Xian and the spirit beast were.The spirit beast trembled violently before suddenly standing up and letting out a loud growl while staring at the entrance of the well, which was blocked by spirit trees. It was as though it recognized the source of this energy and was fully aware of the danger it represented.At the same moment, the spiritual energy released by the turtle surrounded Ye Xian before crashing into his spirit with such force that it almost exploded, making him tremble violently while at the same time increasing the size of the

Chapter: The turtleThe beams of light advanced at incredible speed. However, not all of them landed in front of the disciples. Some shot toward the central peak, where the sect's main headquarters was located. Only one beam of light descended toward the large group of aspiring disciples before revealing a middle-aged man floating in the air.It was the same man who had come to reprimand Chen Badao the other night.All the aspiring disciples stood up, cupped one fist into the opposite palm, and bowed respectfully while shouting in unison."Greetings, Elder!"The man nodded before saying, "Dear aspiring disciples. Today is your lucky day. It is a day unlike any other, a day when each of you can decide whether you intend to reach great heights or simply remain here to rot while your friends continue to grow."He could see the determination on the faces of the aspiring disciples as he simply continued, "Today, as you all know, is the most anticipated day in a long time. It is your very first tournament in t

Chapter: 1 Year laterThe World Tree, which was still nothing more than a plant, began to tremble slightly, growing little by little as wood energy continuously flowed into Ye Xian's body. This process continued over and over without stopping.__________________In the outside world, three months passed silently. The aspiring disciples continued their work while cultivating from time to time, preparing themselves for the tournament that would begin in nine months.Ye Xian was considered dead after Chen Badao told his version of the events. He had only been an aspiring disciple, so the elders quickly forgot about the matter and did not bother investigating further.The young man who had brought Ye Xian to the sect was reprimanded by his senior, the elder of the peak where Ye Xian had been, for bringing someone suspicious into the sect.Everything now continued as usual. Of course, Zhuo Yin and the aspiring disciples were the only ones who completely doubted what Chen Badao had said, but they did nothing. No

Chapter: Spiritual Wood RealmA young man was revealed when the beam of light disappeared. It was the same one who had brought Ye Xian to the sect. He frowned as he looked at the smoke in the distance.First the anomaly with the spiritual wood, and now this... What the hell is happening? he thought before shooting straight toward the forest like a beam of light.______________Meanwhile, Ye Xian was looking for a way to put an end to the fire that was spreading as he ran while looking behind him. No matter how much he thought about it, he simply couldn't find any solution.Then suddenly, his thoughts turned toward the sword source, but before he could do anything, his gaze wavered when he saw that the fire had stopped spreading and approaching him. He couldn't help but be surprised. But it was especially at that moment that he understood something and looked around..."Where is this place?" he blurted out in astonishment. All around him, there was only what looked like a desolate land, where there were only long,

Chapter: Capturing a Spirit BeastAll the aspiring disciples were surprised as a deathly silence suddenly settled over the place. It wasn't strange for Chen Badao to have a mission, but what was strange was the fact that he was allowing them not to work, using his mission as the reason.Zhuo Yin approached Ye Xian a little before whispering when he saw Chen Badao turn around and walk toward the forest."Be careful with this guy! You can never be too sure with him."Ye Xian, who understood what he was getting at, nodded firmly before cautiously following Chen Badao.Once they were inside the forest, Chen Badao walked ahead while beginning to speak. "My mission is to capture a Spirit Beast not far from here. The Elder who governs this Peak thinks that the anomaly that occurred with The Sword's Source was caused by this beast.""A Spirit Beast? What's that supposed to be?" Ye Xian asked in surprise. He had never heard of this kind of beast, not even from the Heavenly Voice.Chen Badao fell silent for a few seconds before

Chapter: Chen Badao or the Gù Brothers ?Immediately, the water of The Sword's Source behind him stretched out before enclosing Ye Xian inside a sphere of water, preventing the spear from entering as it became lodged in the barrier. [ Stop! ] the Heavenly Voice echoed, ending Ye Xian's meditation as he immediately opened his eyes. "What the..." Before Ye Xian could finish his question, his face stiffened when he saw the scene before him. "Damn!" He sprang to his feet as the Qi Condensation Spirit Pill flew into one of his pockets. At the same time, the spear, as if remotely controlled, withdrew and returned to a certain spot on the tree from which it had been launched. The darkness made it impossible to see who was over there. The water of The Sword's Source returned to its place while swirling, as Ye Xian wondered why the spring had helped him. But he pushed that thought aside as he suddenly activated his cultivation base. The spiritual energy that seemed to contain tiny stars burst out of his body, surrounding him

A powerful cheat in the apocalypse
[ Endure... and grow stronger. ]
[ Host! Survive Absolute Zero, and you will gain dominion over it. ]
[ Host! Endure five days inside an erupting volcano, and your control over fire will surpass anything you possessed before. ]
________________
The day a colossal tower called Zenith appeared, the apocalypse began.
Its gates led to countless worlds, each filled with monsters, impossible landscapes, and beings that should never have existed. Humanity's only hope lay with the Awakened-those born with supernatural abilities-who climbed the tower in a desperate attempt to save their world.
Rin was the weakest of them all.
Betrayed, abandoned, and left for dead, he awakens a mysterious system unlike any other. Instead of granting free power, it drags him into the Chaotic World, where every trial is designed to break both body and mind.
[ Survive Absolute Zero.]
[ Endure an erupting volcano. ]
[ Overcome impossible trials... or die trying. ]
Each absurd and merciless mission pushes Rin beyond human limits, transforming him into an existence the world can no longer classify-an Anomaly.
But as he grows stronger, one terrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore.
The Chaotic World, the system called Charly, and Zenith are all connected...
And somewhere beyond the tower, the being who created this apocalypse are waiting.

Chapter: Four Unexpected GuestsIs there a creature here? How did it even get in there?Rin advances while asking himself questions, all while raising his hand and touching the wooden door in front of him."Is it chained?" he asks, finding it impossible that the creature couldn't easily destroy a room like this."Yes!" Amandine simply replies while slightly stepping back.Rin thinks for a moment, then asks again, "How did you capture and keep it here if you couldn't defeat it to the point of asking for my help?""It was subdued and is being kept here through a treasure belonging to our clan, and its power is limited by time," Amandine replies.Even while chained, you still can't kill it? Rin wonders as he steps back a little while looking at the wooden door, wondering whether it was a subordinate of the boss of this level or simply an ordinary creature from this place.He raises his hand, then a bolt of lightning strikes the door as his palm glows, destroying the door and making those behind him step back.Rin enter

Chapter: A Strange VillageAfter the explosion ended, the entire alley was in ruins, with the ground torn apart and a large section completely gone. Yet the hooded man remained completely unharmed, standing motionless among the debris. "If only you knew our importance... if only you knew that we are the true heroes of this world," he said with a sigh. At that moment, Arthur snorted before pointing at him and asking, "Heroes? My ass! I've never seen heroes whose only goal is to speed up the end of the world." Suddenly, the hooded man burst into laughter. "We're speeding it up? Are you sure?" he asked as he laughed, clearly amused. That son of a bitch... Arthur thought inwardly. Just as he was about to speak, the hooded man continued, making him fall silent. "When humanity's worst nightmares awaken, you'll see... you'll see that even the little turtle won't be able to save you." With those words, he vanished. At the same moment, the guards at Zenith's entrance jumped down into the alley. They saw nothing

Chapter: A battle in the night.Rin swallowed his saliva, gathered his courage, and moved forward. After minutes of walking, he could finally hear sounds in the distance, as if two metals were colliding at the same time. The sound was coming from the end of one of the exits of this forest. He couldn't help but hurry, and once he came out, he saw what looked like a vast garden, and two fighters. A woman with long black hair, clothes made from animal skins, one part covering the upper part of her stomach and another covering the lower part of her body, stopping around her legs and almost reaching her knees. She had long ears and slightly dark skin. She was fighting a creature resembling a giant praying mantis, one meter long. An elf! thought Rin with excitement. I didn't think I would see one without even having to go far. And what kind of creature is this again? [ Mission: Accept to help this elf when she asks you to. ] Charly's voice echoed. Accept to help her when she asks me? Rin wondered while looking a

Chapter: What Lies Within the Dark LevelWhy doesn't this psychopath want to let me move forward? Damn it. Rin cursed as he looked out the window. It was already night outside. Granted, he hadn't stayed in the Chaotic World as long as the last time, but he was still surprised because it should have at least been morning or a little later than that. He put those thoughts aside and focused on his exploration of the Dark Level. Somehow, he had stopped feeling sleepy ever since he received Charly's approval. He was sure it had something to do with this "stage" thing, but he didn't bother asking. After all, he wouldn't get any answers from that psychopath anyway, he thought. He walked over and lay down on his bed. In any case, tomorrow he would be heading out alone to explore, so there was no need to leave right now and risk being disturbed. [Don't make me laugh... You really want to sleep? That's impossible!] Charly's voice echoed, making Rin question himself as he sat up slightly. "What do you mean by that?" he asked uncer

Chapter: The Sixth Trial Rin let out a calm sigh before focusing his gaze on the pure red sky, then shifting it back in front of him. Now that I think about it... what's in the other parts of this world? The question suddenly crossed his mind, but before he could think any further, Charly's voice echoed once again. [The trial begins!] [Trial 6: Defeat someone in a mental attack duel.] A beam of pure red light shot out from the crimson sky like a comet before crashing into the ground in front of Rin at lightning speed. He couldn't move, nor did he even have time to understand what had just happened. "What kind of trial is this?" he asked, looking completely lost. The light didn't disappear. It remained on the ground before him and slowly began to materialize... The more it took shape, the wider Rin's eyes became. It was simply an unnatural form. A creature stood there with the body of an elephant and the head of an octopus, while tentacles writhed all around it. It was a terrifying sight, and the creat

Chapter: More trials?Eldric, who was the closest and had been hurt the most, got to his feet at the same time as the others before raising his hand and wiping the blood flowing from his nose."What a real bastard, that boss!" Dwayne growled as he struggled to stand up."Well, we'd better move, and fast, before he starts sending his subordinates out of his dimension," Richard said as he got to his feet.Rin slowly stepped forward and asked,"Why so suddenly?""If he's an idiot, he'll take this as a provocation and attack immediately. So we have to enter before his subordinates come out," Key explained with experience, looking at the machine that had already been reduced to pieces."Alright, who will go on the first exploration? We can't all go at once. Some people have to stay behind as protectors since this is only an exploration, not a battle against the boss," George said seriously.Rin already knew that.Whenever a new level became accessible, several exploration teams would go in to gather information
