Selene's System
Pure Talent.Something many people strive for their entire lives, yet only a few geniuses possess. What if you had even less talent than those with average ability?Perhaps your life would be rubbish. You might have lost everything.Desmond was precisely such a person. It might even be accurate to say he was the least talented individual in the Ariadne Empire. His only talent was that he never forgot anything he saw. Still, this was not a sufficient talent for this empire.The youngest of the Duke family's three children, he was a young man regarded as the trash among geniuses, including his own parents.He was born into a world where magic and cultivation reigned supreme, where the powerful could easily crush anyone, and where even rules sometimes held no sway. He was the youngest child of the most important duke, the symbol of power.Desmond Moon, a disappointment.He had never managed to create a single magic ring, nor had he even managed to enter a cultivation realm. Even when int
The Moon
When Desmond opened his eyes again, it was around nine in the morning, the sun had not yet reached its zenith, and the horse-drawn carriage was moving.Apparently, the hunting party had decided to set off without informing him; after all, they had a long journey ahead of them.He remembered what had happened yesterday; the throbbing pain still enveloped his right index finger, but there was no longer any serious pain.When Desmond looked at his finger and saw that the colour of the ring had changed, especially that the moon symbol was covered in a bright red colour, he immediately said:“Selene's System, is that it?”He had only voiced this question aloud to think about what was happening; he had no other purpose, but the moment he uttered these words, the interior of the carriage was filled with an incredibly bright light, which faded away after about fifteen seconds.The carriage stopped abruptly, the doors opened, and the question, “Sir, are you alright?”' reached Desmond's ears.T
Incredible
[Selene's System {Profile} Desmond Moon Age: 18 Race: Human Level: 1 Magic Ring: - Cultivation Realm: - Skills: -]When Desmond carefully examined this system window, he noticed his name, age, race, and something he had never seen before called "level".There were also two sections called "Magic Ring" and "Cultivation Realm".[As you can understand, you can begin training in two powers altogether. It will be a bit painful, but your cultivation veins need to open, and your heart needs to be strong enough to carry the magic rings. That's why you need to be in a city or an empty place where no one will touch you.]While Desmond was lost in his own thoughts, these words suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately clicked a few times towards the front of the carriage, saying, “Very well.”With that, the carriage stopped again, and this time the doors opened normally.“Yes, sir, was there a problem?” asked George.“I was just wondering, how long until the next settlement?” ask
Fixing Everything (1)
He didn't walk like an ordinary member of the public, his manner of speaking didn't resemble street slang, and especially his inability to distinguish between hunters, the fact that he hadn't even questioned anyone's age or gender since first meeting the hunting group, told everyone that Desmond had been raised in a good home.Even the townspeople who saw him greeted him according to imperial rules, and Desmond never even showed his face to anyone. There was no need for it."This is the first time I've met such a polite nobleman! Well, they all behave politely, almost all of them. Still, they can be very rude sometimes, but you are not like that at all, sir!" the group member repeated.Even though the other members were looking at him to shut up, Desmond smiled from under his robe and said politely, “Thank you.”Desmond had never received such a nice compliment before.So he took a small gold purse out of his magic bag and handed it to the group member who was talking to him.“This?”
Fixing Everything (2)
Even if he didn't notice it, his muscles were becoming more defined and powerful. The muscle mass in his body was becoming pure and stronger, just like his brother's, as if it would never break down.The pain Desmond felt grew worse with each passing minute, but occasionally, though rarely, the pain would suddenly subside, giving him a few seconds of respite.Certain changes had begun to occur in his body, from the tips of his toes to every strand of his hair. Black, disgusting, semi-solid fluids had begun to ooze from his body, and blood had started to flow from every pore.The pain continued to intensify, and time passed.When the pain completely subsided, the three hours were up. Although his body no longer ached, it still felt sore, and he could now breathe more easily.Still, he no longer had the strength to stay awake. As his eyes slowly began to close and he began to lose consciousness, he heard one last voice in his mind:[The body purification process is complete. Your body i
Selene and Nyx Knows
"Uuh… All right. Well then, thank you for your help. Thanks to you, I've done something else I wanted to do. I was already planning to go to the Seraphim Academy in Chaos City, and now that's settled." Desmond said, and after scratching his silky hair, he uttered these words:“All my life, I have worshipped Nyx and, of course, Selene, and I will continue to do so. Still, if you have any opportunity to deliver a message to them, please thank them on my behalf. My life has already been turned upside down... in a good way, of course. I will never forget this, never.”When he uttered these words, no answer flashed through his mind; instead, a deep silence fell over the place like a shadow.Desmond thought he had said something wrong and, frankly, stood there for a few seconds. However, this thought would be dispelled by the following words, which would put his mind at ease.[They already know.]With these words, the system's voice would disappear, not to be heard for a long time.Desmond
To The Holy Empire
Everyone in George's group couldn't believe their eyes. It was a natural reaction. After all, although they knew the person they had been accompanying was a nobleman, they didn't know he was the son of a duke.“We---Welcome, sir!” shouted one of the border captains, who, of course, knew who the person in front of him was and was well aware of what a single wrong move could cost him.“We need to prepare the documents for my crossing the border, please be as quick as possible,” said Desmond calmly.Many people had gathered around. Desmond was already a handsome young man, but after the two procedures performed by the system, his muscles had become more defined, his hair had become silky, his gaze had deepened, and even his posture had improved.“I can't believe it, Desmond Moon?” said one of the people.Desmond turned to the group of hunters and shook George's hand, saying, “Thank you for not telling anyone.”George smiled and replied, “We'll take you all the way to the capital, sir, pl
Arriving
As soon as he entered the alchemist's shop, he saw many monster hearts, feathers, teeth, and other such things around him. Not only that, but he managed to spot many herbs that could be considered semi-precious, and even saw textbooks containing the notes of master alchemists being sold.Desmond did not know at that moment that while he was being welcomed by the shop owner, the hunters were chatting outside in front of the shop, and George was examining the materials inside the shop with great curiosity. Desmond's presence had already reached the ears of the city lord.The words that had reached the city lord's ears had already begun their journey towards the imperial capital.The Moon family was very close to the Holy Empire. After all, the Moon family was one of only two or three families in this world who worshipped Nyx fanatically. They were the ones who provided substantial financial support to the regions established by the Holy Empire for the worship of Nyx, known as the [Churc

Desmond had stepped out of his carriage and then glanced around the vast academy's grounds. It didn't take him long to realise that everything was as enchanting as rumoured.Cardinal Amber gently began to guide Desmond and George, who was right behind him, along the paths of the academy's grounds towards the interior of the building.It wasn't hard to see the astonishment in George's eyes. After all, George was someone who was constantly on the battlefield, going in and out of dungeons, even serving as a mercenary in other countries. He had never been in such a peaceful, beautiful and, in a general sense, “noble” place before.The Seraphim Academy was that beautiful.The academy served as both a high school and a university. Naturally, this meant that many students, both young and old, could be seen wandering around.Of course, this also meant that almost every one of them was looking at Cardinal Amber and, consequently, at Desmond and George.Desmond was used to this level of attenti
Invitation
"No, but I was wondering if I could attend regular classes whenever I wanted," Desmond replied."Of course. The special permission you've been granted allows you to choose your own classes. Many students select their classes before the school year begins and organise their credits according to their levels, but since you cannot use magic and have no cultivation power within your body, we cannot force you. You can do as you please, within the rules, of course," replied Crowley.Desmond broke into a huge smile when he heard these words. This was truly a great privilege. In short, even though it was already well into the school year, he would be able to attend the classes he wanted."Thank you, sir!" said Desmond, clearly delighted.With that, he rose from his seat and added, "If there's nothing else you need to tell me, I need to find out where Mr Grey is."Crowley then stood up and said, "It was a pleasure to meet you, young man. Come back to my office sometime, this time just to chat.
