Chapter: Chapter 221The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th

Chapter: Chapter 220When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im

Chapter: Chapter 219Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?

Chapter: Chapter 218Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa

Chapter: Chapter 217Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you

Chapter: Chapter 216Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.

Chapter: Chapter 263The Hollow One grew taller, its shape stretching like liquid shadow. Its cracked body glowed brighter with every breath, and each breath stole the air from the cavern. The survivors struggled to breathe, clutching their chests as if invisible hands squeezed the life from them.Oliver staggered back, gasping. His vision swam. The whispers inside his head clawed deeper, louder than before, their words digging like knives. “Stop resisting. Accept me. Only then will you survive.”He clutched his head, groaning. His sword slipped from his sweaty hand and clattered against the stone floor. “Oliver!” Mara’s sharp voice cut through the chaos. “Don’t listen!”Her twin knives flashed, sinking into the chest of a twisted spawn. The creature dissolved into ash, its scream echoing through the cavern before fading to nothing. Mara spun, eyes sharp, guarding Elias where the boy crouched, trembling against the wall. The rebels fought nearby, their blades clumsy with fear. One rebel almost lost his

Chapter: Chapter 262The cavern shook as cracks spread wider across the stone floor and walls. Dust rained down in thin streams. From the cracks, green light leaked out, glowing like veins of fire under the rock. The light pulsed again and again, as if following the rhythm of a heartbeat. But it was not human. It was something older, darker, and wrong. The circle of runes on the ground glowed and throbbed like a living thing. Smoke curled from the markings, filling the air with the smell of burned metal, then a shadow rose.At first, it was only a shape. Tall. Thin. Too thin. Its body looked jagged, like broken stone stitched together by ash. Its head was worse, a mask, but cracked straight down the middle, only half-formed. Behind the mask, hollow eyes burned with a green, sickly light. The creature’s arms hung long, ending in claws sharper than knives. When the claws touched the stone floor, sparks leapt out.The air dropped colder and colder until every breath stung. The rebels shivered. Even Olive

Chapter: Chapter 261The survivors moved like ghosts through the tunnels. Their steps echoed, crunching over gravel and scattered ash. Every sound felt too loud in the suffocating dark. The torches they carried gave only weak flames, fighting against the damp, stale air. The shadows stretched long across the walls, crawling, writhing, almost alive.Oliver walked at the rear, silent. His sword was sheathed but never far from his hand. He felt the stares, the sharp, accusing weight of them on his back. Mara stayed close beside him, knives glinting faintly at her hips. She guided Elias, who leaned against her, his thin body shivering from exhaustion. The boy’s eyes closed more than they opened, but his chest still rose and fell in a shallow rhythm.The silence pressed heavier than the stone above their heads. No one dared speak. The only sounds were the slow drip of water echoing somewhere deep within the earth and the rasp of tired breaths. Yet Oliver knew what every rebel was thinking. He could taste

Chapter: Chapter 260The tunnel stretched long and silent, the kind of silence that felt heavy, like it was holding its breath. Only the sound of ragged breathing broke it, uneven gasps that echoed faintly against the stone walls.Ash still floated in the air, tiny gray flecks drifting like ghostly snow. Some of it glowed faintly, carrying the last embers of the battle that had almost ended them. The smell of burning stone clung stubbornly to the walls, sharp in the nose, almost choking. It was the smell of death mixed with fire, something no one would ever forget.Mara knelt on the cold ground, her arms steady though her face was pale. She helped Elias sit upright, bracing his weight against her. The boy’s lips were blue, his skin clammy with sweat. She tore strips of cloth from her cloak and wrapped them around his shoulders, trying to stop the violent shivering that shook his frail body.Elias leaned against her, eyes half-lidded, but not closed. Even in pain, even at the edge of collapse, there was

Chapter: Chapter 259The cavern smelled like smoke and blood. The stench clung to every stone, thick and heavy, like the whole place had been burned alive. Ash swirled in the air, floating down slowly, covering the ground in a gray carpet. The Devourer was gone. Its massive body had fallen apart into dust, melting into the floor until nothing was left. No flesh. No bones. Only claw marks carved deep into the walls, broken stones shattered across the ground, and a silence that felt too heavy, too wrong.Mara dropped down to her knees. Her whole body shook. Her chest heaved as she pulled in broken breaths that scraped her throat. Sweat rolled down her dirt-streaked face, dripping from her chin. Her arms felt like dead weight, trembling so badly she could not hold her blades anymore. They slipped from her hands and clattered to the ground, the sound sharp and lonely in the cavern’s silence.She tried to steady herself, but her heart was pounding too fast. Every beat felt like it would tear her chest ope

Chapter: Chapter 258Ash rained down like snow. The gray flakes floated through the air, soft and endless, settling over the broken ground. The massive body of the Devourer was gone. It had crumbled to dust, leaving only a scar on the earth where it once stood. The beast’s fanged mask had shattered into sharp pieces, scattered like broken glass across the floor.The cavern was quiet now, except for the low groan of shifting stone. The ground still trembled faintly, as if the earth itself feared what had just happened, and in the middle of it all stood Oliver.His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. His sword dripped with thick, black ichor that hissed when it touched the ground. Around him, shadows moved like living smoke. They curled around his body, clinging to his arms, his shoulders, even his legs, as if trying to weave themselves into him.On his face, the mask pulsed. Dark light throbbed from its cracks, threads writhing like veins alive with hunger.The mask was no longer just somethin

Chapter: Chapter 89The water crushed her. It pressed into her chest, into her lungs, into her bones. Aurora thrashed, her arms flailing in the suffocating dark, but the black ocean swallowed every movement. Her fire sputtered weakly around her body, a faint glow in the endless void, before flickering out completely.Her throat burned as she fought not to breathe in the icy water. Her chest heaved painfully, every second a battle against drowning. Her mind screamed: “Not here. Not like this.”She thought of Mason, chained, fading, his silver eyes desperate. The image lit a spark inside her.Aurora’s lips parted, and her last breath of air escaped. The ocean rushed into her lungs, but instead of choking, she froze. The water wasn’t just water. It was alive.Whispers filled her ears, vibrating through her skull. Thousands of voices, old and broken, all speaking at once. “Drown… sink… sleep forever.”Aurora’s body trembled, her fire gone, her strength failing. Her eyes rolled back as the voices wrapped tig

Chapter: Chapter 88Aurora’s scream tore through the air as the ground gave way beneath her feet. She reached for Mason’s hand, her nails digging into his skin as they both plummeted into the endless dark. The roar of collapsing white above them faded, swallowed by silence. The fall seemed endless, their bodies weightless in the void.“Mason!” Aurora shouted, her voice cracking. Her hand slipped, the sweat and blood between them slick. Mason reached harder, his silver eye glowing faintly in the black. “Don’t let go!”Aurora stretched, her fire sparking faintly around her arm, but the flames sputtered out in the suffocating dark. The abyss swallowed even her light.Her heart thundered. “I can’t,” and then, with a sudden jolt, something pulled them apart.Aurora was wrenched sideways, torn from Mason’s grasp as if invisible chains had ripped them in different directions. She screamed his name as the void swallowed him. “MASON!”His voice echoed faintly back: “AURORA!”Then silence. Aurora was alone. Her b

Chapter: Chapter 87The world was silent. Not the silence of peace. The silence of something broken. Aurora opened her eyes slowly. For a moment, she thought she was blind. Everything was white, not bright, not glowing, just endless pale emptiness. No sky, no ground, only a haze of white stretching forever.Her body was heavy. Her arms ached, her chest burned where the chains had pierced her, and her fire was little more than a spark inside her.She tried to push herself up, but her strength failed. Her hands slipped, and she collapsed back onto the cold white ground. “Aurora…”Her heart skipped. She turned her head weakly, and there he was. Mason. He lay only a few feet away, his body broken and bruised but alive. His silver eyes flickered faintly, his brown one dull with exhaustion. Aurora crawled toward him, dragging her body across the ground. Each movement sent pain shooting through her muscles, but she didn’t care. When she reached him, she pressed her forehead against his shoulder, her tears so

Chapter: Chapter 86The chains burned. They coiled around Aurora’s arms and legs like molten iron, dragging her helplessly toward the pillar. Her body writhed against them, but every movement only made them tighten. Her flames flickered wildly, spilling sparks into the abyss, but no fire could burn through the silver links. These chains were not just metal, they were forged from the weight of souls themselves. She screamed, the sound raw and filled with fury. “Let me go!”Her cry echoed through the abyss, swallowed by endless darkness. Above her, Mason hung limply against the pillar, his body wrapped in chains just like hers. His head drooped, his silver eyes closed. But faintly, faintly, he stirred. “Aurora…” he whispered again, his voice so weak it broke her heart.Her tears burned as they slid down her face. “I’m here! Do you hear me, Mason? I’m here!”The chains yanked her higher, pressing her against the pillar beside him. The moment Aurora’s back touched the pillar, a shock surged through her bo

Chapter: Chapter 85Aurora woke to silence. Her body ached all over, every bone heavy, every muscle screaming. She lay on a cold stone, her cheek pressed against rough cracks. Slowly, painfully, she pushed herself up.Her hands shook. Dried blood coated her arms, her clothes torn and burned. Her flames were gone, no fire flickered around her fingers, no warmth remained in her chest.She blinked, her eyes adjusting. The ruins were gone. The endless void was gone.Instead, she stood in a strange place. The ground stretched like glass, smooth and black, reflecting her faintly. Above, there was no sky, only a ceiling of swirling silver clouds. Faint whispers drifted through the air, voices of thousands, maybe millions.Aurora’s heart quickened. She knew this was no normal place. This was the edge. The border between life and death. Her voice broke into a whisper. “Mason.”The name echoed faintly, carried on the whispers. Aurora looked ahead and froze.A road stretched before her, but not of stone. It was m

Chapter: Chapter 84The silence that followed was not silence at all. It was the sound of glass falling in slow motion, the endless hum of silver energy, the whisper of shadows curling around what was left of the broken world.Aurora lay on the ground, her chest heaving, her arms outstretched into nothing. Her fingers trembled, still reaching for Mason, but he was gone.The chains that once bound them hung limply from her wrist, broken, glowing faintly before fading into dull metal. The light inside them had died.Aurora’s breath caught in her throat. A sob tore from her chest, raw and desperate. “Mason!”Her voice echoed back to her, empty, hollow. No answer came. Her fire, once blazing, dimmed until only faint embers remained around her palms. She curled forward, clutching the broken chain to her chest. Her tears burned against her bloodied skin. “He’s gone,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “He’s gone.”Aurora forced herself to lift her head. The mirror world was no longer a hall of silver and sha
