-Break-I will gaze into greatness to regain it for myselfLocation: Alchemist Country, Matibaypukaw;Outskirts of Maligaya VillageSwinging my sword against the partner given to me for practise, I parry and dodge each strike, making myself look like I can barely keep up. I force my breathing to accelerate, I try my best to shake my hands, and I force my face into a state of worry, all so that the smile hanging on my opponent's face grows larger and deeper.Taking a blow, I fall onto my butt, and standing over me with a proud smile, my partner says, "Seems like outside of dealing damage and supporting people, your swordplay can't keep up with mine.""I know what my roles are and I feel nothing but joy in accomplishing them.""In a large group like this, that's a wonder. Everyone else is trying to either stand out or hide behind someone else. But thanks to your skills, you just so happen to be useful to anyone who needs you; it's rather amazing.""Thanks for the compliment!" I say, stret

-Break-I felt power for the first time in my life, the power to upset reality and make the world my own, and from that day, others saw it within me as well.Despite my rank, they consulted me on information, they asked me for instructions on the battlefield, they gathered around me during moments of peace, they told me things in confidence they wouldn't even tell the most experienced adventurers, and in turn, I met their expectations, I filled their hearts, I took the reins of their doubts, and enveloped them with my strength. Little by little, the core of this expedition became about me more than the goal itself.And many came to win my favour, even those whom I never thought would. Those who denied my strength were pushed to the edges of the group, yet even they knew they would have to bow down to me, to lower themselves to me, and their lustful eyes fell on me over and over again so as to reclaim some sense of power.Location: Matibaypukaw;Paglipat VillageWith my body sitting on

-Break-And just like that, I was left all alone. I had chosen to keep moving forward on my path, while those I was walking with had moved on with their lives. In some respects, I wanted to continue laughing and talking with the people I've met, including the first friend I ever made. But destiny will not reward me for stagnation; it will not grant the talented the strength to move forward, even when faced with these new challenges.Location: ???Feeling the harshness of the chair my body is on, the rigidness of the rope around my legs and arms, the pressure of the blindfold tied against my head, I feel like my heart will explode any second.I don't know how long I've been in this room, or how long it will be till someone comes in here. The only way I have been keeping time is by the dropping of liquid from the roof to the ground.Yet the repeating, endless sound of it makes my mind feel like it's about to rot away. It's such a simple trick, yet it is effective at breaking people down

In an instant, a giant cloud appears in front of Wèilái, and stepping on it guides him up towards the Behemoth, where he grips his feet on and looks down at me, waving his hand, as my mouth drops and smashes against the floor of the tower."Amazing, isn't it?" I hear Fu's voice say.Turning my head, while shaking, I point my finger at it, and say, "That's a Behemoth, a Behemoth. You know one of the rarest Wonderbeasts to ever exist in this world, not only that, but one that flies through the sky. Do you even understand how impossible it is to tame that, especially when you don't have a Legacy like Wèilái?"With a bright and cheery aura bursting through his body, Fu looks up and says, "Of course, I know, it's a power that not in a hundred people have pulled off in our recorded history, yet he has managed to do it in the modern day, and its power is staggering."Looking forward, I see lightning burst through the battlefield, disabling those who stand against our soldiers while causing a

That battle, which consumed over two years of my life, had come to an end. The wonders my eyes saw, the passions that ran through my mind, the sensation my nose gave me, and the power pushed through my body all allowed me to move past everything that stood in front of me, and on that battle with everyone by my side I felt like a giant wave passed through all of our souls granting us strength that was unknown to us before, but more than that I gave us a joy that could never have been found outside of this moment. -Break-Location: The Bastion Kingdom, Dá; Capital City Jīnyínqì; Captivant's Hotel RoomFeeling the morning light shine against my face, I let out a yawn as I stretch my arms and turn my head to the face of my partner beside me. Rubbing my hands through her sleeping face, I say, "You were amazing last night. A truly wondrous body that took on the anxiety of a war hero, let the fact that you've bedded Captivant Nightfall be a story you shall one day tell to your grandkids, as
