Chapter 41: The First Trial (7)Kael had descended from the city wall, his boots striking the cobblestones with a muted clack, the weight of anticipation and residual tension from the battlefield pressing against his shoulders like a tangible force. He made his way back into the heart of the city, threading through narrow alleys and wide boulevards, until he arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild, expecting a scene of chaos, despair, and grief, the aftermath of losses recently endured, a tableau of shattered morale and anguished faces. Yet, to his astonishment, nothing had changed. The air hummed with the same casual indifference, as though the carnage and the trials outside were the mere flutter of leaves in an otherwise ordinary day.Lyra, ever the vigilant receptionist with her meticulous organization and piercing gaze, spotted him immediately and waved him forward, her gesture precise and commanding. Without a word, she indicated that he should ascend the stairs to

chapter 42
Chapter 42: Memory FragmentThat trial had been… something. Kael’s thoughts barely had the time to settle before he felt the cold embrace of water engulf him, dragging him into an unwelcoming darkness that smelled faintly of stone and stagnant algae. The teleportation had deposited him unceremoniously into the fountain, which from the outside had appeared quaint, shallow even, but now revealed itself as a deceptively deep pit, swallowing him whole.His limbs moved automatically, reflex honed by countless battles and desperate swims, muscles cutting through water with a practiced efficiency. Thank the gods, he could swim, he thought, lungs burning, heart hammering in a chaotic rhythm as he propelled himself upward. Breaking the surface, droplets of water clinging to his skin and armor, he landed on his ass, then instinctively stretched out, the stone beneath him cold against his back.So much for a warm welcome, he muttered, voice hoarse, taste of wate

chapter 43
Chapter 43: Who Kael groggily blinked open his eyes, the dim golden light of the temple filtering softly across his vision. He was back in that sacred space for real this time, the comforting scent of incense lingering faintly in the air, mingled with the subtle tang of stone and water. His head throbbed violently, each pulse hammering against his skull, an incessant reminder that technically he had just died. He could not feel the physical agony of death, no, it was worse in a way: the other Kael’s memories had left impressions of pain so vivid that his own mind flinched in sympathy. Never again, he muttered to himself, teeth gritted, a flicker of both frustration and awe coursing through him. Yet he knew, with a resigned groan, that this was only the beginning. The synchronization was far from complete; this had been merely five percent, a taste, a shadow of the full truth. Ninety-five percent of his other selves’ experiences remained u

chapter 44
Chapter 44: The Second TrialKael lay sprawled across the soft, warm surface of his bed, the morning light painting golden streaks across the room, yet his attention was locked on the letters before him, an alphabet foreign and alien, crawling across the page like tiny soldiers demanding mastery. His progress astonished him, faster than anything he had accomplished in his previous life, yet the language resisted total comprehension, the shapes and sounds tangling around each other in intricate, maddening patterns.Compared to the worlds he had lived through before, this one moved at its own rhythm, more complex, more deliberate, as if the universe itself had conspired to make every syllable a test of patience, every written line a maze of intellect and persistence. He had memorized the alphabet with ease, yet forming words, speaking aloud, even reading aloud, felt like groping in the dark, fumbling for shapes that refused to align properly.Even with his

chapter 45
Chapter 45: The Second Trial (2)The battlefield before Kael shifted like a living nightmare, the ground vibrating under the weight of the werewolves as they advanced in relentless waves, each creature larger, faster, and more vicious than the last. Their claws scraped the dirt with a metallic screech that seemed almost alive, their fangs glinting like fractured moonlight under the dim sky of the trial realm. It was a grotesque ballet of predatory grace and lethal intent, every movement choreographed to destroy, and yet Kael moved through it with a calm born of absolute necessity, his mind a blade slicing through fear and calculation alike.He believed that as long as his sense of touch remained intact, he could perform at near-peak capacity, his mana flowing like liquid fire through every vein, every fiber of muscle, every quivering sinew. Yet the thought lingered like a shadow, inevitable and terrifying: what would happen when the connection severed complete

chapter 46
Chapter 46: Fallen The moment Kael rematerialized at the temple, his body betrayed him, violently expelling the contents of his stomach as though every ounce of restraint he had held for months had been stripped away in one brutal instant. Despite all the experience, all the hard-earned control and understanding he had painstakingly cultivated over countless trials and battles, the sheer grotesquery of the scene before him, even in recollection, still struck with nausea-inducing force. ’Pull yourself together, those people were not real,’ he admonished himself, voice tight and ragged, as he steadied against the marble floor with trembling hands. ’Not real? They looked fucking real!’ His words cut off abruptly as he pressed a hand over his mouth, suppressing another wave of retching that clawed up from his core. His stomach heaved, the bitter tang of bile and iron filling his senses. The image of those screaming, collapsing citi

Chapter 47: Mishap
Chapter 47: Mishap Kael hauled himself out of the fountain, water dripping from his hair and robes, glistening like fractured glass under the dim light of the throne room. Unlike before, Freya was nowhere to be seen, absent as though she had never existed in the first place, leaving only the echo of her presence, faint and teasing. Archangels, he murmured to The System, his voice carrying a trace of disbelief and awe. Did you see what happened? I saw your memories, The System replied, cool, detached, yet threaded with the same awareness it always bore. Yes, that appears to be an actual archangel. And the body you inhabited, that of one consumed by sin, a Fallen, hence the title. I see, Kael murmured, brows knitting, the weight of the words pressing on him. It was haunting in ways he could not articulate, the echo of immense power and tragedy stitched together in flesh and bone. Could such a thing ever happen to me, he asked

chapter 48
Chapter 48: Return Kael barely had time to adjust his vision to the blazing sunlight when a sudden presence made itself known. Hi? His words barely left his lips before he noticed her, Amanda, standing there as if the world itself had bent to deliver her instantly. He had expected at least a few hours to pass before she arrived, some semblance of travel or ritual delay, but no. Not even five minutes had ticked by. She stood perfectly still, her expression a storm contained behind tightly pressed lips and eyes ablaze with that familiar intensity. A massive frown curled across her face, and the air around her seemed to hum with the raw potential of the power she wielded. Then, without a word of preamble, she raised her hand, and an invisible string of searing mana erupted from her fingertips. It shot toward Kael with such velocity that it tore the air itself, creating a faint hiss that seemed to cut through the soundscape like a blade through silk.Last Updated : 2025-12-13Read more

Chapter 65: Brat ‘This is divine,’ Kael muttered with reverence as molten cheese burned the roof of his mouth. He devoured the pizza like a starving prophet tasting god’s body for the first time. It was criminal how much he’d missed this flavor, the sacred salt of melted cheese and bread and grease. The last time he’d eaten pizza was back when his life came prepackaged in luxury: silk robes, personal chefs, and a sense of superiority thick enough to choke on.Now, he sat alone in a dingy restaurant with a cracked table and a faulty fan, smiling like an idiot as he ate a $5 slice.Then he saw them. His party. Approaching the Association building like a parade of responsibility.‘Fuck,’ he sighed, stuffing the rest of the slice into his mouth. ‘Why didn’t I buy it to go? There’s no justice in this world.’He looked back at the counter, saw the massive line, and accepted his fate. Grabbing two more slices, he bolted out the door, chewing as he went.The night before had been a blur of

Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Homeless Saint The journey back to the city took roughly twenty minutes, a fleeting passage of time cushioned by the almost surreal speed of the bullet train-like vehicle. It hummed like a contained storm beneath him, sleek, precise, almost impatient, and just slightly faster than the old trains of the city, like the universe itself had shaved off the edges of time to accommodate the hurried ambitions of mortals and gods alike. Amanda sat beside him, her presence measured, her focus precise. She told him that preparations were needed before Kael could attend the academy again, a reminder that after two long years of absence, he could not simply waltz back into the folds of a world that had continued without him. Time had moved on without pause, indifferent to his absence, and he felt the weight of that unrelenting march pressing against his shoulders. The outer city had transformed during his absence.
