Chapter 14: First Frost
The day had started like any other Saturday, with sunlight spilling through the large glass windows of the mall, turning the polished floors into reflective ribbons of gold. My mom, always the early riser, had dragged us out for “family bonding time,” which in her mind involved walking slowly through every store, comparing price tags, and offering unsolicited fashion advice.“Honestly, Kairo,” Mom said, hands on her hips, “how do you even know what to wear? You look like a walking grey cloud.”I shrugged, hands in my pockets, a mix of boredom and mild amusement playing across my face. “Clouds are fashionable now, apparently. Unlike rainbows here.”Celeste, my little sister, rolled her eyes dramatically, tugging at the sleeve of my coat. “He’s just jealous because I actually like colors, unlike Mr. Grim Cloud here.”“Jealous?” I smirked. “Please. I’m not jealous. I just… appreciate the ingenuity of monochrome.”Mom laughed, shaking her head. “Monochrome genius, huh? Sounds like someone
Chapter 13: The Bureau’s Shadow
The Disciplinary Bureau was the kind of room meant to make men quiver. Polished floors that reflected the sharp glints of their authority, walls that seemed to lean in, and the air itself thick with expectation. I stepped in, feeling the pulse of their combined presence before I even reached the table.Professors, elite and seasoned, lined the long expanse like sentinels of judgement. The Principal sat at the head, aura humming with authority so potent a lesser man would have fallen to his knees already. I inhaled slowly. Their force alone could crush a student, a teacher, a city if they willed it.It was a terrifying experience. Just a few months back I was almost non-existent with no hope of ever meeting these people in private, and yet they were assembled before me, bodies taut with the refusal to drop their guards around me.[Endurance level dropping. Drop all resistance.]I ignored it. My pulse steadied, frost veins pulsing faintly beneath my skin. Hands slipped into my pockets,
Chapter 12: Whispers of a Monster
The morning after the siege felt wrong.Too quiet. Too normal.The broken grounds and evidence of battle was already erased with efficiency. The school itself was trying to recover, and after the A and B class elites returned safely, the school had finally released the drawn breath it had been holding inside.But there was something else that united the students of Aegis, a common aberration in the system. Even the teachers had given up on trying to get them to stay in their respective classes, division F was the center of attraction, or rather, the pale boy with the shocking silver hair.~~~Division F’s classroom smelled faintly of antiseptic and burnt ozone. The walls had been repaired overnight, but the cracks still showed: faint, like scars pretending not to exist. Outside the windows, students from other divisions crowded against the glass, whispering, peering in as if expecting to see me sprout fangs in my seat.Inside, Division F sat in complete silence. Well, almost silenc
Chapter 11: Rebirth of Apex
Hours had passed since the first screams. Since the first bodies fell. The battlefield stretched endlessly, littered with charred corpses and fractured earth, but I didn’t see it. I didn’t smell it. I only felt the weight of survival pressing into every fiber of my body. Frost coiled around my fingers, shadows danced across the jagged terrain, and my Ae surged with every slash, every strike.It was a deadly dance as beasts like smoke rained down on us from the sky.I fought as if the world depended on me. Because it did. My core throbbed with exhaustion. My vision blurred from the strain. Every move was precise, measured, detached. The system whispered, faint static cutting through my mind, giving me fragments of clarity amidst chaos.[System: Core stability critical. Life expectancy minimal. Tactical recommendation: continue combat with extreme caution.]Bodies fell. Shadows merged with frost, forming blades and spikes that ripped through enemy lines. I pushed beyond limits I didn’t
Chapter 10: Tearing Of Veils, Breaching Of Walls
Sleep came like a blade, slicing through the exhaustion in my bones. Darkness pressed in from every corner. I was aware of it all: the field, the traps, the blood, but the dream was something else.A green hand reached for me, slick and glistening in the shadows. My chest tightened. Then the voice came, deep, cold, and resonating inside my mind:"Master of frost and shadows. You have called me, and I am here to fulfill a blood debt."It was a sight I would forget in a hurry as the goblin that started it all kneeling before me in absolute supplication.The shard thrummed. My system buzzed faintly, clarifying in static whispers:[System: Bloodlink detected. Goblin unit available. Objective: Recon and report. Power increase: significant. Action recommended: summon blood of first kill.]A shiver crawled through me. For a moment, I felt it, the shift of power, the weight of control. Sadistic delight coiled inside my chest. The creature that had once threatened me now, obedient, waiting for
Chapter 9: Fruit Basket Diplomacy
Recovery, they called it. I called it humiliation.A few steps from the field was all it took for me to collapse like a weakling. Apparently, my body was in a more terrible shape than I thought. Pathetic.The infirmary smelled of antiseptic and artificial lavender, someone’s idea of “comfort.” The ceiling tiles had been scrubbed so clean they reflected my face, pale and thinner than I remembered. My system was quiet, dormant. The silence should’ve felt peaceful. It didn’t. I only felt a deep sense of irritation.I’d been awake for five minutes when Division F burst in like an invading army.“Careful, he’s still weak. So no talking, alright?!” Kira announced, balancing a tray of soup that was 90% steam.My eyes twitched.Ren followed with a stack of books and a grin that didn’t belong in a sickroom. Behind them came Jin and Lara dragging a small holo-screen between them, wires trailing like entrails.My absolutely disgusted expression tightened as more people barged in, and a pink hair
