When Aiden returned back to the mansion, it was almost evening time. As for his afternoon, he spent it on a casual stroll around Fenris City. Just like what Akira told him, the Blood Reapers gang had been completely overrun.. all their territories now belonged to the Red Sharks or the gangs affiliated with them. As for the Academy, he only observed the gates from a safe distance before leaving. He had no idea why he had been in a deep slumber for three months however one thing he could confirm was that a lot of drastic changes had occured while he was in slumber. First and foremost, all his acquired skills seemed to have reverted down to lv0 meaning he could no longer use them. Not to mention the addition of new stats. Last time he checked, there was no energy stat for his mojo. However Aiden had a feeling that whatever these changes were, it had to have something to do with the Hidden Realm of Hallowmere. The second biggest change was Xavier's death! "First my parents, now my

According to teachings at the Academy, The way of comprehension is simple, but at the same time difficult as well. First, you have to sink your consciousness into your Neidan Region/ Conscious Paradox.. Every Magi has a Neidan Region within their body. Next, observe the various Neidan Strokes you find in your Neidan Region. Once you think you have comprehended enough of these Neidan Strokes, try visualizing the patterns like you are writing them down on your Hex Tome. if the Neidan Strokes pattern belongs to an Hex, it will be inscribed in your Hex Tome and a new Hex will be formed. And when casting an Hex, a Magi has to rearrange the specific Neidan strokes to form the necessary pattern, creating an hex pattern. Since their Hex Tome is linked to their Conscious Paradox, the formation of the Hex pattern appears within it. Once the pattern is completed, the Hex pattern flies out from the Hex Tome, manifesting in the real world, successfully casting the Hex. If the Magi's control or co

Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud noise of heavy collision echoed loudly as earthen shards occasionally flew carelessly into the air. The premises of the dojo was now a deep flattened field. From a safe distance, two pairs of eyes intently observed the battle taking place as two fast moving figures clashed with each other, moving so fast that they appeared like quick sparks of light. Bang! A loud collision echoed as both fighters came to a tactic agreement, leaping back as they drew some distance between themselves. "Ah.ah.ah..." the Warlock tried regulating his rate of breathing as he intently observed Aiden, another glowing arrow already nocked on his bow. However if one observed closely, they would notice a silent quaking of his fingers. Under the span of seven minutes during their head on collision, he's managed to draw fifty shots and only fired twelve. Every time he tried firing a shot, Aiden would suddenly close the distance between them, causing the Warlock to abandon his att

When Jason arrived at the Academy, he noticed three things.. First and foremost, Rio was absent.. Secondly, Lara seemed to look at him normally. During the Ruins Rift at Yellow Peach Springs, she and Rio ended up learning about his alter ego. However judging from how no Sentry visited the mansion to apprehend him, he could only come into two conclusions; Either Lara planned on keeping his secret or she planned on using it to blackmail him.. As for the third.. the Academy ground was currently crawling with Sentries.. and a lot of them at that! "You are late.." Aiden had just arrived at the training field when he Teacher Nyx noticed his presence. Behind him were the other members of Team Fifteen. "I checked all the classes and noticed they were empty.." while saying this, Aiden stole a glance at Lara. Strange.. she isn't giving me any weird signs that she knows my secret. "Hm. I'll just pardon you this once. I heard that you caught a sickness and was bedridden for three mon

After a long talk, Captain Grace finally gave in to the demands of the four Teachers from Nightshade Academy. However judging from the scowl on her face, she was nowhere pleased. There were a few people in the country who could say no to an hegemon like Nightshade Academy. A couple minutes later, all the students were all standing before the entrance of the Ruins Gate, with the Sophomore students taking the lead. During this raid, their major aim were the feind beasts at the core region of the Ruins, while the freshmen students took care of the cannon fodders. "I heard from your teachers that this isn't your first Ruins Raid so I won't give any large speeches" Captain Grace cleared her throat as she observed the hundreds of students before her. These were all the future of the Country.. gathered together, each of them hailing from different noble and royal backgrounds. Her eyes briefly landed on a particular individual before she continued speaking. "I'll just say.. never und
