The Beginning
In a remote corner of the kingdom, nestled within the Eastern continent of Galendray, stood a town called Skull Howler.This town was comprised of many ordinary families who huddled together, struggling through their poverty, all bound by a single clan: the Death Lotus Clan.Inside the Elder's Hall, the head of each family was present, along with the High Elder of the town itself, to discuss their economic woes."This is no longer acceptable, Elder Morem. As time goes on, the land we claim outside the town is shrinking. Our meager harvests dwindle every day due to those arrogant noble clans. They’re even trying to take our territory without permission!" declared one elder."That's not all. The river that should be flowing fresh into our town and fields, they’re polluting it, filling it with rocks, deliberately making it hard for us to grow our food. We need to fight back. Our children are constantly falling ill from hunger. We’re all affected by these events." Another elder voiced the
Wolf, part 1
The Next DayThe sun had just begun to rise when the exit of the High Elder's hall was filled with people. They were talking noisily, seemingly arguing about something.Then, Elder Morem appeared before them, and they immediately surrounded him."What does this mean, Elder Morem? Why is it all over town that you're sending that orphan to the White Temple Institute?""Your actions are unjust, Elder Morem. The other youngsters here have trained hard and have reached Stage Cat as you desired! But instead of choosing them, you chose Emrys?!"The old man raised his hand to silence everyone. "Calm down, everyone. There's no point in arguing about this now. Besides, I've already decided that Emrys is the one we'll send to the White Temple Institute.""Wait, Elder Morem. Your decision doesn't seem fair.""Yesterday, you presented me with numerous problems, and I didn't stop you. After that, I said I would take care of the decision to resolve them, so now that I've given you a solution, you're
Wolf, part 2
The young man left his companions and happily wandered through the forest alone. He found many small branches on each side. But he wasn't satisfied and went further in search of more."This is enough! I need to go back, my companions might be worried about me." Emrys was eager to return, but he immediately felt a strange gust of wind around him.Emrys suddenly felt cold at what happened, and when he looked to one side, his eyes seemed to be glued there.He seemed to be staring into nothingness, as if there was a strange force drawing him to that part.He dropped the firewood he was carrying and seemed to walk towards the direction his eyes were going, without thinking.He was like a drunkard in the middle of the forest. And it didn't take long. He was heading towards a cliff.But he was unaware of that, as if he were asleep, walking towards danger.One step before he completely fell into a very deep ravine, a man's hand pulled him back. "Emrys, are you okay?"Emrys returned to his sen
Challenge, part 1
The Talking WolfEmrys heard the wolf speak clearly, making his fear intensify.Was this a kind of demon?!It was likely similar to the legendary forest creatures, monsters kept by sorcerers, black mages, or high-level demons. Or it could be a stray monster, or worse, the king of this place, meaning he had no escape, no matter what he did."P-please. Don't kill me." The young man whispered repeatedly. Even though he knew his plea had no chance of working on this ferocious monster, he still tried.After a few minutes of the monster not moving him, he tried to open his eyes.He looked at the wolf lying there. He carefully stood up and silently took a step to get a better look at it, and he immediately understood why the monster couldn't kill him right now.On the wolf's chest, blood flowed continuously. It had a large wound, seemingly a claw from a wolf of its kind, leaving it injured.The wolf was unconscious. It snored loudly, and leaves flew whenever it exhaled through its nose.Emry
Challenge, part 2
This wolf was kind, unlike what he expected.And the wolf opened its mouth, gathering fire inside it, until it grew stronger and stronger, until the red fire became a black energy that turned into a hard type of rock.It fell in front of Emrys, who was surprised.The black rock was almost as big as the wolf's eyes. And using the wolf's claws, it crushed the thing several times until there were now countless black stones, almost as big as small marbles.Emrys looked up at the wolf in surprise. "What are these?""That's a Cultivation Stone that comes from my own power. It's very fresh and undeniably very effective. Especially for someone like you who can't even raise their own strength level."The young man frowned. He was clearly surprised by what he heard. "How did you know I can't raise my level?""I see your soul. It's a simple reason. You can't hide anything from me, young man. Even your past."Emrys swallowed. "I just have a question.""You want to know why I can speak your langua
Passed, part 1
Inside the InstitutionA man, one of the teachers at this school, walked alone down the hallway.Tall and handsome, with white, flowing hair and slanted eyes. This was Mr. Clover Cleaveland. A Professional Cultivator, 8th Grade Falcon.Desmond Dekker, on the other hand, was a 9th Grade Falcon."Mr. Clover! Mr. Clover!" He stopped walking when a student greeted him."Oh, Heji. What's the problem?"Heji Mo. A noble student from the Mo Family of the Tiger Fang Clan. And he was already a 7th Grade Serpent Cultivator."It seems like we're going to have a problem with the new cultivators. Because out of the five hundred applicants, more than half of them gave up and went home."Clover frowned at what he heard. "And how many of them passed?""N-none of them have passed yet."Because of that, Clover sighed. "Don't tell me Desmond is the one who faced those kids again.""That's right."Clover quickly walked towards the direction of the school's gate."What's gotten into that old man's head aga
Passed, part 2
The next to pass was Tyron Chien. From the Chien Royal Family of the Great Zein Clan.The next was another noble cultivator named Warren Kan. From the royal family of the Chien of the Cerulean Tempest Clan.Finally, the noble clans were sending their representative cultivators to fight against the power that had always revolved around these three clans, but it was always the Dragon Sage Clan that received victory in countless generations.When all the new cultivators were finished, Desmond stood up and Clover approached him. "Are you okay?"Desmond turned to him and nodded. "I'll leave them to you."Clover sighed, nodded, and faced the guards. "Close the gate. Those who passed, follow me.""Wait!"Everyone turned to the newcomer, causing Sai, Loan, and Eris to suddenly look pale when they realized that the man had caught up. And he was still alive, except for his torn and dirty clothes."I'm one of the new cultivators entering the institution. I'm Emrys Valestron, fourteen years old,
Entrance
After all the cultivators who passed the exam entered, Emrys couldn't help but feel nervous. But despite that, he was also amazed as he observed the inside of the institution where he now stood.He had only heard about this school in old tales, but now that he was actually here, he couldn't believe that it was even wider and more beautiful than what he had imagined.It had been his dream to step foot in this place, and now that he was finally here, it was impossible for him to wipe the smile off his face as he walked with the other passers.He was the only one who was happy. The others had serious faces because they were also nervous. After all, whenever they passed by the facilities or buildings, they could always feel the sharp stares of the students already here.Not only students, but also important people in the institution, like the high-ranking teachers, visitors of the institution like the Clan Elders, the school's heavyweight soldiers, and most of all, the proud students who
Rank
"Based on the order you passed the exam, that's also the order you will approach the book to clarify your identities. Place your palm on the floating book and transfer even a little bit of your magic to the book. It will automatically open and reveal your rank, age, clan, and name. So, there's no point in lying because this book knows who you really are inside. First on the list. Start."Sai immediately approached the book. He did what the teacher said, and the book automatically opened afterwards. From the blank page, the young man's rank appeared, according to his current strength.A soldier was waiting beside Clover, his list ready.Clover read the rank on the book in a loud voice so that everyone present could hear it. "Sai Floshen, age fifteen. Rank, 3rd Grade Cat, from the Death Lotus Clan. Next!""Oh? He's already 3rd Grade? Really? Not bad for a newcomer, I guess."One of the students present commented.Next to approach the book was Loan. After that, Clover read it again. "Loa
Excitement
"This will be your room," Heji said to Emrys as they entered one of the rooms in the dormitory. "Just tell me if you need anything. At eight o'clock tonight, your uniforms will be given to you, so you can rest for now or if you want to go out, it's okay. Just don't go far from the dormitory. The teachers and Guild Leaders here are strict, so you know, be careful, especially since you are new. And tomorrow, everything will be explained to you. That's all."Emrys smiled at him and bowed. "Thank you very much, Brother Heji.""Here's the key." Heji handed the key, which Emrys accepted.When Heji left, Emrys waved at him before closing the door and locking it. When Emrys was finally alone, he stood there for a moment. He blew on the key using magic and quietly observed his room.It was clean. Not very big, but enough for him to feel safe. The bed was soft. Just enough for one person.He sat down on it. He clasped his hands together while bowing his head. His once cheerful face suddenly bec
