Kai’s POV“Congratulations to the students who placed among the winners today.”A cheer explodes through the arena. I’m standing alone as Aelia left after that little charade I played with Orin. A hand grabs my shoulder from behind, I turn and see Jafser. “You did it!”I stare, mumbling. “Thank you.”The instructor continues. “Although we have only one spectacular team, groups with two points and above have earned an additional privilege.”“A privilege?” someone whispers.The arena immediately becomes quieter as everyone stares questioningly.The instructor smiles knowingly. “For the next three days, these students will participate in a controlled dungeon expedition.”Before I can make sense of what he said, the arena explodes again, much louder this time.I stare at Jafser as he jumps around excitedly. What in the hell is going on?He looks at me, noticing my confusion. “What? Don’t tell me you don’t know what he means?”“If I did, I’m certain you would see it on my face.”His eyes w

Kai’s POVWe step onto our own arena where five creatures are already waiting in cages. The instructor raises his hand—a sign that we should be ready. .“Stay behind me,” I say to her before I can stop myself.“Absolutely not.” Her reply catches me off guard. I throw her a look. “I’m only looking out for you.”“And I don’t remember asking.”I scoff and look away. “Fine. Do whatever you want.” I draw my weapon.“Yeah, you too. And try not to die.”“Maybe you should tell that to the monster. I don’t know if you missed it, but it’s me whoever everyone is scared of, not the monster.” I tighten my grip on my sword.She rolls her eyes. “Proud much.”The bell rings and we charge at the release creature. I barely blink before she gets to him and slash through him swiftly. A flash of blue magic shoots into its chest and It stumbles backward.I’m so surprised that I take a moment to marvel at her, but she doesn’t stop. “Are you planning to fight,” she looks over her shoulder, “or just stand t

Aelia’s POVThe instructor drops a stack of papers onto his desk. “You know the drill, Partners, now.”Everyone scatters around, searching for their favorite persons to partner up with. The academy has no problemswith you working with a friend as long as you bring results. “I chose her first.”“No, I did. She’s my friend.”I quietly watch as they argue amongst themselves. Then I turn toward him. He’s still sitting alone. Nobody has approached him and they won’t. Yes, they want to be connected to him but for something like this, they’re too uncertain and terrified of him to choose him as a partner. Void magic? What if they try to attack a monster and their partner swallows their magic instead. “Kai,” the instructor calls. “You need a partner.”He doesn’t even look up. “No. I’ll work alone.”“You can’t. Everyone gets a partner because the assignment requires it.”He locks his jaw and looks around the room but he quickly sees it’s useless. Everyone is physically hiding from him.He t

Kai's POV: As early as the next day, I’m already summoned to the teachers office. “Kai Blackwell, do you know why you’re here today?”I look at them. “Yes. I used the void magic.”The headmaster seems to flinch. “And do you know it is considered a forbidden magic?”“Not to the best of my knowledge. I haven’t been studying well, that's why I’ve been failing.” It’s a lie but that’s what they get. The man looks amused for a moment. “Okay. You do know it is considered impossible too?”“So I’ve heard.”“So how did a failing student manage to do that?”“I don’t know, sir. It just happened to me. I have no control over what magic comes out of me.”His eyes darken at me. “Fine. You may leave.”As I walk to class, I notice a change in the hallway. Unlike when I first came when they all had something to laugh about, it is quieter now.“That’s him,” one whispers. “Wait, the student-mage with the void power?”“Yes. He absorbed a D-Rank spell.”“That’s impossible.”“I saw it. The fire literall

Kai’s POVI walk into the arena of their annual contest, every part of me filled with venom for those people that threw me down there. Someone points to me, “He’s alive. How is that possible?” Every eyes settle on me with shock, including Orin and his goons. I’m not surprised by their reaction. Even me, I’m still surprised by how I got out. All I did was touch the lock and it opened. Vazaroth told me to lock after. One thing is certain, if he wanted to leave, he would have. Orin and his goons laugh as they walk towards me?“You’re alive? I thought the dungeon would kill you for sure,” one says.“He probably crawled out,” another adds.Unlike them, Orin doesn’t look the least bit calm. He follows me until I stop in front of the registration board.“What are you doing here?” I can sense some kind of nervousness from him. He really didn’t expect me to make it out alive. He left me for dead. I don’t answer him and just pick up the marker to write my name.“Are you deaf? I said what do y

Kai’s POVI clutch my chest, unable to breathe. Those eyes, I know them. I’ve seen them before. It wasn’t in person but in books and paintings. My heart pounds harder.“No…”The creature gives me a small smile. “You know who I am?”My mouth goes dry. I want to get up and run but I know it’s useless. My legs are basically paralyzed from shock. “No. That’s impossible.”Its smile disappears. “Impossible? Why is that?”I shake my head. “You’re not supposed to be here.”It lets out a quiet laugh, the sound echoing throughout the dungeon. “Where did they tell you they kept me?”I don’t answer but I know what he means because I know who he is. The horns, the black skin covered with binding markings, the huge wings folded behind his back and the chains wrapped around his body. There is no mistaking it.He’s Vazaroth, the demon god. The first and most powerful ruler of the demons. Everyone in the kingdom knows about him and his long list of crimes.Eight hundred years ago, he had supposedly
