We gathered in a loose circle with the egg placed carefully on a folded blanket. The systems instructions played across my view with instructions as if it was reading my mind.~Imbue the stone with your arcane energy, declaring yourself as the master and strike the egg with precision.~It was simple enough, but the weight of the moment made my pulse quicken.I knelt beside the egg and cemented my focus, allowing my arcane to flow from the depths of my heart through my hands and into the stone.Ding!~Arcane reserve: 9/500~The stone pulsed in response, glowing brighter; but this time with veins of purple Arcane light snaking across its surface like lightning.“Here goes,” I muttered, standing and taking aim with one eye shut.With a steady breath, I hurled the stone with pinpoint accuracy and it struck the egg dead center, and a burst of purple arcane energy exploded outward, bathing the room in a radiant glow.The three of us held our breath and our eyes were locked on the egg despit

The days continued to roll on like that with my sights set on the RAA, it started to become typical and almost uneventful.Leaving my home early to join the cleanup group, spending the entire waking hours of the day killing creatures and leveling up. It got so typical to the point that all the members quit the squad and moved on with their lives, leaving only Dasheen and I to run the operation.Now, although I was much more stronger than I first started and Dasheen is a decent adventurer both in power levels and experience, we just couldn’t keep pulling off this feat on our own.The day the final two members of the group annouced their departure, Dasheen promised to bring more individuals to join the party.The Border Cleanup Group had slowly grown into a means of income for me and my household as we sold some of the Anti-arcane stone we didn’t absorb, and I wanted to keep milking that well till its time to move on to the RAA [Reapers Association Academy].The next morning, I took a d

I responded with a firm nod, forcing myself to stay focused.“Skill…”“Divine Thread…”‘I’ve leveled up and now have a bigger Arcane reserve, so I can keep this skill active for a longer period of time…’Arcane energy pulsed from my body and into the surronding ground around me, shaping in the form interlocking threads that had a golden glow to it.The system surveyed the surrondings as par the skill and watched out for any form of killing intent directed towards me. That way I can tell if we would be attacked or not.“What do you know, the noodle kid is useful after all…” Jet mumbled from the back of the line.Seconds after I activated the skill, details about the area and its lurking monsters flashed before my view.~Killing Intent detected~~Target: 2 shadow creatures:~Type: Sabertooth Lynx Shadow creatures.~~Weaknesses: Light based attacks and are vulnerable in the air.~I didn’t panic, according to the feedback we were tagged right from the get go. These Shadow creatures were q

Ding!~Arcane Pet >Naga< has been released~~Grade Three [Intermediate]~The air behind me split apart and a pocket of shimmering clouds swirled in hues of purple and black. Then with a deafening boom, Naga emerged.Its enormous body uncoiled like an endless storm cloud. The obsidian scales shimmered faintly with streaks of violent light. From its spine, a sprouted long, spectral tendrils that flickered like dying embers, snapping against the air as though reality itself bent around them. Naga’s eyes glowed merciless gold, holding a terrifying gaze of killing intent.It hissed.My colleagues were surprised as to the sheer size of what I just summoned. In just a few weeks of training with the Arcane pet, it grew unbelievably fast to the point that I couldn’t let it roam free around my house again, it had to be hibernated at all times till when I would call upon it.“There it is…” Dasheen’s voice rang out, filled with awe as he pulled himself from the rubble. “…There’s his great serpent

I had managed to wound the Elemental Dogs, but when comparing the severity of our injusries, it was clear that I came off far worse in that exchange.I glared at the creature and clicked my tongue in annoyance. Then, something else happened.“Huh?!!”The eye of the fire themed part of the elemental dogs were glowing an ominous crimson colour all of a sudden.“Growwwlll…”Inexplicalbly, I sensed something ominous was about to happen…“What could it be?”In that instant, the head that was cloacked with fire spat out a hot column of fire towards my general direction.“Gahh!”I yelled as I ducked out of the way to the right, barely evading the attack that could very well end my life if I took it head on.Next, the elemental dogs left the ground in a poqwerful leap.“Fuck!!!”“They know it would be hard to kill a small prey like me with long distance attacks…”They were faster than I thought they would, even before I could react, the creature appeared right before my eyes. I panickly swung

A couple seconds passed and then the sound of hurried footsteps and clicking gear echoed through the rocky clearing. I tensed up as I gripped my sword tighter but then I relaxed when I saw the familiar silhouettes emerging from the shadows. Dasheen, Ketara and Jet burst I to the view with their eyes wide as they took in the surrounding. "Was that the boss monster?" Jet blurted out, his voice cracked as he stared at the dissipating remains. His lanky frame froze mid step, as his goggles fogged up from the steam still rising from the ground. "No way that's the boss monster..." Ketara tossed her fiery red hair and crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Valeria, you absolute snake! You took down a gate boss solo? I knew you had it in you, even with those baby hands of yours!" She grinned, punching the air like she was already celebrating. Valeria's eyes widened and she waved her hands frantically as her cheeks flushed red. "No, no, no! It wasn't me! Levi did it!"The squad fell silent

"Yes." I whispered while eyeing the locket as I pulled it out of my pocket. The system's response was immediate—Ding! ~Beginning the Rebirth process~~Place the Anti-arcane stone into a the hollow of the Canine Blood Locket and then channel your Arcane Energy to bridge the shadow and the light.~I nodded, my breath steadying as I followed the instructions. Everyone else stepped back a few paces, even though they kept their gaze locked onto me. I held the hexagonal Anti-arcane stone and slid it into the central hole of the locket. It fit perfectly, clicking into place with a faint, resonant hum. The runes of the locket began to glow brighter, and I felt a pull on my own Arcane reserves, like invisible threads drawing from my core. I lifted the locket high, my arm steady despite the intense ache from the earlier battle. "From shadows born, in light reborn, let the Anti-arcane yield to dawn," I muttered in unison with the system's text that was rolling in relentlessly. A surge of

After everyone in the squad split ways, I made my way into a lively evening market that seemed to be a hotspot in town during that hour. There was a consistent and d never ending huk of voices, the sizzle of grills and the warm glow of Arcane energy powered lanterns swaying in the breeze. The air carried a distinct, mouth watering aroma of spiced meat and freshly baked bread. My coin pouch was jingling slightly from the weight of the money I had as I gently weaved through the crowd, my mind drifting to my twin younger brothers waiting at home. 'What a nice evening to treat them to something special,' I thought, as I pictured their faces lighting up over a proper meal stuffed with essential protein and nutrients. No stale bread or thin soup tonight, just good food and laughter. After walking for a couple minutes, I stopped at a tavern called the Rusty Anchor, known for it's hearty fare. I made a bee line for the where the vendor sat, noticing him as a bruly man with a flour dusted

The next two days were a blur of sweat and shadow. After agreeing to duel an A-Rank Awakened Reaper for his weapon, I focused more than I had ever. The low level gates dotting across the outskirts of town were leaking shadow creatures. My squad were still tasked clearing them out, but it wasn't just a cleanup for me, I was sharpening my myself, grinding every kill to home my skills and claw my way up the levels. The Reaper's bone white daggers were my goal and they haunted my thoughts, knowing fully well I'd need every edge I could get to face an A-Rank Awakened in a duel. Each morning, I arrived at the border before dawn hours, before my teammates dragged themselves out of bed. The air was always crisp around that time and heavy with the scent if damp soil and faint traces of Arcane residue from the gates. I started my expedition without them, with Pyro and Cryo, my new Arcane pets by my side. Pyro soon realized to be a sleek fire wreathed hound with a temper to match, it snapped
