"Today, my dear people, we shall witness the final part of this ceremony together."As Aurelion spoke these words, everyone in the city centre fell silent and looked towards those who had knelt.Lyonel stood at the very front of the group.“Despite being a prince of another empire and having no obligation to help us, he is the man who, without even a request from Altair, has kept the southern part of the empire safe with his own group!” Aurelion had shouted.With that, he pointed at Lyonel and began to speak:“From this day forward, you shall be ranked as a Noble of Honour of our Empire. Lyonel Dawncrest, you are no longer merely another student of Leonard, my Master. You shall also be known as one of the Empire’s foremost heroes and regarded as one of the most important figures in imperial history.”“But that is not all!”When Aurelion spoke these words, Lyonel raised his head, curious to know what other ideas Aurelion, who was of his uncle’s age and whom he could call his elder brot

Altair had listened carefully to what had happened over the past month and had managed to find out how the war had ended.The Empire’s powerful mages were still trying to clear the eighty-third floor, which was why he had been curious to know exactly how the war had ended.It was truly a miracle that the mage near the 32nd Noble House had managed to escape.In the end, everything had turned out well.Although...No matter which way you looked at these events, you were looking at something terrible.After all, tens of millions had died in a single explosion.The eastern district was the least populated area of the city. That was why so few people had died.Although ‘tens of millions’ was by no means a small number.That was the reality when you considered the total population within the city.The young man had returned to his bed and lain down, as his body was still aching.At the same time, he had muttered, “How is it going, Aether?”He had told Arthur and Slyvie not to let anyone int

Altair had given orders to each of the slave guards under his command... that is, to the guards.Ever since he’d heard that their slavery contracts had been abolished, he’d been feeling a bit odd. He hadn’t even known how to address them; it had taken him a long time to get used to other things.According to the orders he had given, they were to continue climbing the tower and grow stronger in the process.Altair had wanted them to enter the tower in two groups of eighteen or as a single group of thirty-six.They had chosen to enter as a single large group and had thus reached the forty-first floor.Altair, however, had assigned someone to handle every task that could be carried out automatically and had eventually reached the twenty-first floor.The floor he had entered was different.It was an... arena.Yet it wasn’t like any arena he had entered before.It was bigger.It was a MUCH more colossal arena.There was no one around, that is, no one watching him inside the arena.Neverthe

By the time Altair had finished reading each page, he felt so sick that he couldn’t hold it in and vomited several handfuls from the podium.Aether and the others couldn’t make sense of what was happening.[What happened? Are you alright?] Aether asked, the message filled with both curiosity and fear.The young man looked at the message window with tears in his eyes and then asked, “Didn’t you see?”[See… what?]Altair paused when he heard this question.Throughout the time he had spent reading those six pages, he had seen it all. He had lived through everything written on those pages.People being sacrificed, harassment and rape, how others were tortured, children, women and men being mercilessly killed.He had seen it all.Yet he couldn’t stop himself.It was as if he had to read those pages.He was as if in a trance.But how had this happened?He possessed the Unparalleled Mind ability.Something like this, be it a spell or whatever it was, shouldn’t have worked on him.The Moon an

Altair had effectively ignored the message sent to him and logged straight into his profile, allocating every single one of his status points to his Agility stat.His stat had instantly risen to 750.Thanks to this... strange creature he had killed, Altair had managed to level up six times in a row.In doing so, he had gained 300 status points. Combined with the 50 he had previously earned, he had managed to significantly strengthen himself.He then immediately reached for the card section of his profile and activated the Unusual-Grade card he possessed.Only three cards had appeared before him. Each was purple, but one had a darker shade of purple.Altair was curious.He selected the card immediately, and as the other cards flickered and vanished, a system window opened:[Wave (Unusual+++)(Active)Let it be air, water, earth or fire. It is you who will create waves of them.When the user activates this ability, they will be able to release a wave five metres wide, depending on the el
