Chapter 91: Darkness overrides
Ever since Kai wiped out the tyrannical top elites, Ironsphire Academy had begun to shift. The hallways that once echoed with the screams of the oppressed now whispered with cautious hope. Kai had become a legend. No one dared challenge him - not after watching him obliterate four top elites at once. His name alone struck fear in the hearts of former bullies, and reverence in those who once suffered silently. It began with a simple declaration. Kai stood at the academy square. He was surrounded by students who had gathered out of curiosity. His voice thundered across the courtyard. “From this moment forward, if I catch anyone bullying another student, you’ll answer to me in the ring. And I won’t hold back.” His voice spark in aggression. The crowd went silent. A heavy silence followed, then murmurs swept through the students. Everyone knew Kai never bluffed. He wasn’t just the strongest student in the academy; he had become its justice system. No one, not even former elite sympa
Chapter 92: The Curse of the Dark Flame
“Kai! Snap out of it!” Darius shouted from the floor, holding his ribs.But Kai said nothing. He turned and walked calmly out of the library like nothing happened.Darius staggered to Xiren’s side. She was on her knees, coughing violently and clutching her throat.“Xiren! Are you okay?” he asked, helping her sit upright.Still coughing, she nodded weakly. “What happened ?” Darius asked. “I don’t know what happened… We were just studying. Then he suddenly grabbed his chest… screamed… and…” she broke off in a sob, “...he tried to kill me.” Darius’s eyes darkened. “That wasn’t Kai. It couldn’t be.”Xiren wiped her tears, staring at the door Kai had just exited. “He looked like him… but his eyes… his aura…it wasn’t him. Something’s wrong. I think… he’s being controlled.” She explained. Darius stood. His jaw clenched. “If something’s controlling him, we need to find out what.” He said. “I just hope… I sincerely hope he’s not afflicted,” she whispered to herself.Before Darius could re
Chapter 93: The Curse and the Consequence
The corridors of Ironsphire trembled with screams and students running into hiding. Blood soaked into the marble floor tiles, and fear thickened the air. Kai had slain yet another student. His once bright eyes now burned with the madness of the Tyrant King’s curse.“Rumors say the remaining council members have hidden themselves,” someone whispered. “They fear Kai will come for them next.”Meanwhile, Xiren Wren and Darius Vane rushed toward the vast school library. Their faces were etched with urgency.“Faster, Darius!” Xiren shouted, her boots thundering against the stone steps.Inside the library, books were stacked together. The two burst in and immediately started searching through the shelves.“We have to find it,” Xiren muttered. “The Tyranny of the Dark Master. That’s the only lead Dr. Elkar gave us.”Minutes stretched into hours. Frustration started setting in. Darius ran to Xiren, wiping sweat from his brow.“Did you find it?”“No,” she snapped. Her eyes darted to the next s
Chapter 94: The Hidden Agenda
Inside a dimly lit and cold chamber tucked at the east wing of Ironsphire Academy was High Warden Talor. He leaned back in his black chair. The walls of the room were lined with blinking surveillance monitors. Each one of them were feeding him live footage from different corners of the academy - the hallways, dormitories, combat arenas and even restricted cells.His attention fixated on one monitor focused on the Third Degree Cell. On-screen, Kai sat chained in dark, eyes closed, and his head bowed. Talor scoffed as he sipped an old whiskey from a gold coloured glass.“So much potential,” he muttered. “And yet, so easily tamed.”He tilted his glass, draining it. “Three years of imprisonment. That’s what the school assigned. Three years in the abyss. By the time he gets out, the academy will no longer remember his name.”His hand brushed over a red switch on the control panel, but he hesitated. “No,” he whispered. “There’s no need to monitor him further. The beast is caged.”As he st
Chapter 95: A Bloody Price for Power
The moment Thomas Wade signed the stack of documents, High Warden Talor's eyes glimmered with concealed triumph. He reached across the table with a courteous nod and swept the papers into his leather-bound folder.“I’ll make sure everything gets where it should,” Talor said with a tight smile.Thomas nodded. “Very well. I trust you’ll handle it.”Talor bowed slightly, then exited the room with deliberate calm. But as soon as he returned to his private office, the feigned smile cracked. He closed the door behind him, leaned back in his chair, and let out a deep exhale. Slowly, methodically, he placed the folder on his desk and opened it like it was a treasure chest.His eyes roved over the signatures, Thomas's name etched in ink across each of its pages.A cold grin spread across Talor's face. “Now, fifty percent of Ironsphire's revenue is mine,” he whispered. “Everything that stubborn fool worked for… belongs to me now.”He spun slowly in his chair, fingers steepled under his chin. H
Chapter 96: Blood Beneath the Ashes
High Warden Talor sat in his private chamber. A rare bright smile twisted his lips. For years, he had schemed and waited. He patiently moved pieces on a board that no one else knew existed. Now, his first move has succeeded.Kai, the boy with the unique Ascension Protocol was finally where he wanted him - locked behind the reinforced energy grids of the Third degree cell. He turned slightly, eyes fixed to the surveillance screen mounted on the corner wall. The feed showed Kai sitting silently in his cell with his head lowered and chained with suppression cuffs that drained his energy every second."Perfect," Talor muttered.But just capturing Kai wasn’t enough. Talor needed the Ascension Protocol itself. Unlike any other, Kai’s protocol held the potential to destabilize kingdoms. Talor wanted it not to be used immediately but to keep in reserve, to crush any who dared challenge his dominion.Just as he thought, a red glow suddenly lit the dim chamber. Talor’s head snapped around.The
Chapter 97: The Rise of Talor
The quietness that settled over Ironsphire Academy in the wake of the rogue invasion was short-lived. The morning light streamed through the dirt stained glass windows. The air was heavy, dense with grief and confusion. Students huddled in groups talking about about the student's kidnapped, the rogue attack, and what it could all mean.Suddenly, the emergency bell tolled, its loud ring cut through the morning quietness like a blade. Within minutes, the entire academy had gathered in the assembly ground. There eyes raised and full of questions.High Warden Talor stepped onto the central podium. His expression was a perfect mask of sorrow and disappointment. He wore his black mourning robe, his head slightly bowed with his hands folded behind him with solemn dignity.“My dear students,” he began with a calm voice, “yesterday's event was most unfortunate. But I want to assure you, there is nothing to be afraid of. I’ve ordered a full investigation. We will get to the root of this tre
Chapter 98: The Breakout of Destiny
The air in the Third-Degree Cell was damp. The darkness was so thick that it felt like a living thing. Kai sat against the cold wall. He was unmoving with his head bowed very low and wrists heavy with enchanted chains. For days now, the silence in his mind had been unbearable. Kai's system that was once ever-present had gone silent for a long time. But today… DING!The familiar sound buzzed sharply in his consciousness. It was so sudden that Kai jerked upright in shock.“System Alert! Main Quest Activated: Stop the Tyranny of High Warden Talor. Status: ACTIVE Warning: Failure to stop him will result in SYSTEM TERMINATION.”Kai’s eyes widened. “Stop Talor… or lose the system entirely?” He whispered his thoughts. Before he could process further, he heard a soft sound echoed beyond the bars of his cell. It was a delicate, determined, and oddly familiar footsteps. He looked up.“Xiren?” Kai’s voice cracked out after some days of silence.There she was, Xiren Wren, clothed in dark clot
Chapter 99: Ashes and Ascension
The system buzzed. “DING! Mission Complete. High Warden Talor’s Tyranny Has Been Eliminated.”Kai stood frozen in the middle of Talor’s shattered chamber. The system’s message rang hollow in his ears. His tummy twisted in fury, disappointment, and a bitter lack of closure."This isn't how it was supposed to end," Kai muttered. His voice was as low as a snarl.He had wanted Talor’s blood. He wanted to see the fear in the eyes of the man who murdered his parents. But Talor had vanished and robbed him of that justice he had been looking for. He was unresolved and burning with rage. Kai drew his sword. With a loud roar, he drove the blade into the marble floor, cracking it open. The chamber trembled under his fury. He spun and slashed wildly forward, destroying everything in sight. All the scrolls, relics, dark artifacts, and finally the mirror that had whispered to Talor was shattered into dust.“Coward,” Kai spat.As he stepped out of the ruined chamber, the fire in his eyes was stil
Chapter 100: A New Dawn, A New War
The morning sun rose gently over the old walls of Ironsphire Academy. It cast golden rays across the stony environment. Birds chirped on the tree speaking of the start of a new beginning.Inside the student dormitories, the atmosphere wasn’t anything but calm.Student's flipped their books and used their pens to scratch against it's pages. Everyone was nervous and it was as if the air stood still. Students hunched over their notes. Their eyes were bloodshot with exhaustion and determination.In one quiet corner of the study hall, Kai, Xiren Wren, and Darius Vane sat shoulder to shoulder. They wore a calm resolve on their faces.Kai closed a textbook and looked out the window with thoughts running deep within hi. “You’ve barely read ten pages,” Darius teased, nudging him.Kai smirked faintly. “It’s all in here already,” he tapped his head.Xiren chuckled. “Showing off, Huh!”But beneath her playful tone, her eyes lingered on Kai’s face a little longer than they should have. Her he
