Philosopher's Stone
"What are those, exactly?" Altair had asked, filled with great curiosity.When The Woman heard this question, she set down the sack filled with lumps of ore and, at first, held out the blood-red stone in her other hand to Altair."This, dear child, is a Philosopher’s Stone," The Woman had replied.When Altair heard this answer, he was taken aback. Although his eyes were filled with death, they suddenly lit up with incredible interest and a surge of life energy."Are you telling the truth? Really?" Altair had asked, somewhat disrespectfully.When The Woman heard this question, she gave a slight chuckle. It was as though she had never encountered such a question in her entire life.“Why don’t you put it in your inventory and check?” said The Woman, placing the stone in Altair’s palm.Altair did exactly that.When he checked the stone’s properties via the system, he could hardly believe his eyes:[Philosopher’s Stone (Impossible to Obtain) An incredibly important stone created by Chaos
Unparalleled Mind and Soul
[Unparalleled Mind (Unattainable/No Rank) (Passive) In the history of the Tower, there have likely been no more than twenty people who possessed such a powerful mind. Even the gods and goddesses strive day and night to attain this power and reach this level. Yet you, as a human climbing the Tower, have managed to attain this power. The user has gained 1000% passive defence against mind techniques. The user has gained 1000% passive defence against seduction techniques. The user has gained 1000% passive defence against sleep techniques. The user has permanently gained “2000” Intelligence stat points.]As this system window opened before him, Altair felt a sharp pain in his head once more, and his body was once again filled with intense agony. Yet these pains were something he could not withstand.Dying was something that caused pain a thousand times worse than this.He managed to hold his head and resist where he stood.He could feel it.The aura and mana capacities within his bod
You ARE Special
"I’m listening," The Woman replied gently.As soon as he received this reply, Altair asked:"In my last attempt, there was a change in that moment when I always try to defend myself and go on the offensive. I went there and found the Space Cutter, my sword, stuck in the ground, where I’d usually find it by my side. There was also a note next to it that read, ‘Good luck, me.’ So… what exactly happened?”At Altair’s question, The Woman smiled."Well... That is normally how you should have passed the exam. By altering your memories and letting your soul and mind realise that you and they are the same. So if you ask me what happened? The only answer I can give you is that you wanted something, someone to help you, and the strong mind you already possessed concluded that the only person who could help you... was you."The Woman’s answer had left Altair completely dumbfounded.“So… are you telling me that I trusted myself more than anything else?” the young man had asked.The Woman, however
Almost Done
On the fourth day after he began his Altair training, he had finally managed to receive the system notification he had been waiting for:[Congratulations, and we apologise!Unfortunately, it took us a long time to send you this notification.As we suspected, there might be an error in the system, and we were concerned about whether your spirit could bear this power, so we had to consult the Creator on the matter.Nevertheless, we must say we are surprised!As Aculon’s Main Admin Team, we wholeheartedly congratulate you and are presenting you with the explanation window of the Void Fire, your third Sacred Fire.]The moment Altair saw this system window, he could feel a change taking place within his body.He could feel that the golden-yellow fire and the ice-white fire were constantly present within his chest and throughout his entire body.He could also see that the strange, gloomy and dark fire had suddenly appeared alongside these two, or rather, had emerged from the place where it
I Am Here
"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, my lady. I really cannot tell you how much I owe you. I will do my very best, and with the strength I gain from this opportunity you have given me, I will bring the tower down. In a good way, that is..."When the time came to leave, Altair did not fail to say a few kind words to The Woman before passing through the gate that had been opened for him.He knew full well that there were very few people who had the opportunity to receive training and sit exams here.Out of the trillion and more people within the colossal Aculon Tower, fewer than a dozen had managed to make it here.This had allowed him to express just how precious this was, even in words.When The Woman heard the young man’s words, she smiled and did something Altair hadn’t expected at all.The Woman finally rose from her rocking chair and approached Altair, embracing him warmly for perhaps twenty seconds.“Be safe, dear child. You shall not die,” said The Woman.Altair sh
Tomorrow Is My Birthday
To be honest, the nobles in the throne room hadn’t realised that this man was Altair.After all, the Altair described to the over a thousand nobles present in that throne room was a completely different person.He was a young man who had managed to create two inventions, treated servants and guards with kindness, had managed to receive training directly from Leonard and Lisa, was incredibly beloved by Nyx, and had the backing of both the Church of the Night and the Sun Empire.In short, he was a brilliant mind.Altair was the sort the nobles wouldn’t like, yet the sort some among them would worship.What they were seeing now, however... was presenting a different person to them.The life within Altair’s eyes drew them to him.Yet within that life lay a death equal to, and even greater than, life itself.This was a man who had tasted death before, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON in this throne room had ever tasted death.To them, Altair... appeared almost like a sacred being.However much he t

"No falsehood have I spoken, brother of mine. Many times hath he died, mayhap in a ceaseless cycle, beyond our gaze, where none may see."Thanatos had repeated his own words and explained them clearly.Aether and the others had found Thanatos’s manner of speaking rather peculiar. The god, who normally spoke in a concrete, calm and orderly manner, had now conveyed the gravity of the situation and of himself in a tone that was somewhat definitive and prophetic.In this situation, it would not have been reasonable or proper to deny the truth of Thanatos’s words.“How can this be?” asked Philotes, the Goddess of affection, friendship and intercourse."I speak naught but the truth. Within his eyes I behold death, not once, nor twice, but a hundredfold, an echo unending."When Thanatos replied, everyone had paused in astonishment.“Why would he keep this a secret?” asked Eris, Strife herself.Even on Eris’s face, a look of concern was visible."One doth keep secrets within the self, mayhap t
IGNORANT!
Perhaps because of the simplicity and ordinary nature of his clothes, Altair was drawing strange looks from those around him.Still, those who looked at him in this way were not the nobles, servants or guards of the Sun Empire.Of course, it was the foreign nobles who were casting those strange glances at him.Well, that was understandable, of course.In a way, Altair stood out like a bandit in the area, making his way through the nobles.This choice, that is, his choice of clothing, would cause him a minor inconvenience.When the young man reached the area at the palace entrance, the section where the gates had been fully opened, he noticed several people, even by noble standards quite well-dressed, beginning to approach the palace gates as they entered.As he passed by them, he saw that each of them was holding their noses as if Altair smelled of something.When Altair saw their behaviour, he couldn’t help but ask, without compromising his politeness, “Is there a problem?”He should

"He is none other than the one who has the backing of the Church of the Night. He is a man blessed by the Chaos-Born. He is the Fourth Prince of the Sun Empire and an honorary member of the imperial records. He is also my and Lisa Lightguard’s student!"At Leonard’s words, the murmurs that had been building up around them ceased instantly.Everyone fell completely silent.The Fourth Prince they had heard of, the one they were familiar with, was nothing like this.In the rumours and whispers spread by the servants and guards, this man, Altair, had been described as incredibly handsome, impeccably dressed, exceptionally talented, and possessing an air of grace even in his bearing.Yet the Altair who had just left the room was a completely different person.The moment Penn learnt this, it was as if the blood had drained from his body. It would not be wrong to say his body was trembling.The son of a Marquess of the Bijoux Empire had spoken out against Altair, who was not only an honorary

"First, we must bring the Northern Lords under our protection. We need to take complete control of the lands in the north, at the very edge of the continent, where the cold is at its peak, and the brave warriors reside. Politically speaking, that is.""I think that will take at least six months.""And then?" Eliana had asked."After that, we must crush the Noble Rule Faction so that the clear-cut noble/peasant divide in the capital can be erased. Even if the divide disappears, its effects will persist; that’s not a problem. It’s just that, with this, we’ll be able to bring the guilty nobles to justice more easily," Altair had replied.Eliana shook her head and said, “We could seek the help of my brother, the Crown Prince, for this.”“That is my view as well. Since the Emperor making sudden decisions would be dangerous, we must place the Court Nobles, that is, the nobles who are so devoted to the Imperial Family that they practically worship them, under our protection. In this way, we
