As he stepped out of the massive building, he could feel countless eyes following him every moment. Just then, his pocket vibrated.He pulled out his phone and checked the message and unexpectedly, it was none other than the reward payment from the registration."Exactly what I need to move forward with my next plan," he muttered under his breath, seeing the payment lying there in his account. "This will go a long way for me."$15k was a really big amount of money but that was to Sammy who couldn't even boast of $50 in his account talk more of thousands. To Alden, it was like a pocket change. Now that he was officially registered, his next move was already clear in his mind.Minutes passed and with the help of his phone, he was able to find his way around the city."Here is the place," He stopped before a building and entered without hesitation."Welcome to our weapon pavilion," a boy around his age greeted him warmly. The boy seemed to be an apprentice and stood nearby as Alden st

Ragnar stood in opposition to Zara, with Darian positioned behind her, locking eyes with both of them.Zara did not flinch, even as she sensed the overwhelming strength radiating from Ragnar, fully aware that he was stronger than her.Backing down was simply not in her nature, she refused to be anyone's prey to oppression, no matter how powerful they appeared especially when that person was the same age as her.The crowd stared excitedly at the two groups, eagerly awaiting a fight to break out to at least entertain them.Even the guards responsible for protecting this area weren't ready to intervene. It was already a normal sight here for arguments and fights to erupt between groups.The only time they would get involved was when the fight turned bloody, escalating into a life-and-death battle."You dare block my path!" Ragnar's voice boomed, its force causing weaker onlookers to stagger back, as his mere presence was enough to intimidate most."Who do you think you are? Acting like t

Whoosh!~Whoosh!...!The sound of arrows cutting through the air was loud, with each arrow flying straight and aimed in one specific direction.Ember kept firing arrow after arrow at the scor‐eye wolf."Damn!" she muttered under her breath.But no matter how many arrows she fired, they barely managed to scratch the beast. The wolf's thick fur and hard skin made it almost impossible for her attacks to pierce through.The worst part was that the scor‐eye wolf was not paying attention to Ember at all. Its glowing yellow eyes remained fixed on Alden, who lay on the ground, hurt and unable to move.At that moment, Alden could not even lift himself off the ground, as his body was too weak with blood streaming from his nose."Drat! It hurts so much!" Alden groaned in pain.The good thing was that he could feel his body slowly healing, mending all the damage done to him little by little. Still, he needed time to recover before he could use his body again.Alden was not the only one who was i

"Brother Storm, what a powerful talent you have got."Walking forward with the group, Alden smiled as he commented.From the moment he first met Storm, Alden had already learned of his great abilities through his special source.However, witnessing Storm actually use those skills before him was not only impressive but also overwhelmingly powerful that made him admire it.Without batting an eye at him, Storm replied, "All thanks to fate for giving it to me. As for you, you need to master and get a solid grip on that weapon. I’m looking forward to seeing you improve.""Don't worry, Brother Storm. And don't worry, soon I will find out what my ability is."Darian and Zara turn to look at each other, as if they were reading each others minds.Watching the earlier battle from the side, they had seen Alden's body suffer serious injuries from the vicious beast's attack, yet shockingly, he recovered swiftly before Ember healed him and even delivered the killing blow to the beast.They were sur

Inside the dark forest, the scary sound of beasts echoed from all directions. Soon, the group was surrounded by dangerous scor-eye wolves circling around them, ready to tear them apart for trespassing into their territory. "Holy crab!" Ember cursed inwardly, but she refused to allow any fear to overtake her heart, knowing fully well that it wasn't going to help matters. Each one of them had already drawn out their weapons, their eyes fixed on the six beasts around them, trying to intimidate them with their numbers. Darian held out his two short swords. "Don't be scared of their numbers," he said directly to Alden and Ember, trying to ease any worries in their hearts. "They are just Level 1 F-rank beasts, so do not fall for their tricks or get trapped among them and also try to finish them off quickly with each of your attacks," he declared, staring at the beasts with a fierce glare. Zara, the quiet one, did nothing but extend her spiked steel whip. She wanted nothing more than t
