Blames on Eugene
Beneath the steep hill where Olympiades stood, lay a sprawling demigod civilization, structured much like human society. They didn't rely on the advanced artificial intelligence that mortals called technology, as they were blessed with low-to-mid-scale cosmic energy—which proved far more useful in facilitating their daily lives.Pavkos City was the largest settlement in Horochora, serving as the cultural and commercial heart of the borderline. Leonidas visited often, drawn by its massive market that felt like a perpetual street carnival. Yet, he didn't come merely to indulge in the daily festivities; instead, he frequently navigated the broad alleyways nestled between urban structures to find a quiet bookstore tucked away on a street corner.The bookstore looked modest from the outside, but stepping through the threshold revealed an endless labyrinth of uncounted volumes. Leonidas made his way to the deepest section of the shop, where, at the bottom corner of the largest bookshelf, hi
How to beat the stone monster pt.3
Eugene hadn’t been keeping track of time, but he knew for a fact that too many agonizing seconds had ticked away since he started this blind game of cat-and-mouse with the golem. One thing was painfully clear: the creature showed zero signs of tiring out, whereas Eugene’s chest felt as though it were actively burning up from the inside.That was the inherent curse of being a demihuman—they were still firmly chained to the laws of mortality. Eugene remained completely vulnerable to the most human weaknesses: sheer physical exhaustion, blinding panic, and the stubborn empathy that kept him trying to protect Ed from the golem's relentless strikes.The golem didn't possess fancy divine powers like a high-born demigod, but it targeted Eugene with a brutal, tectonic force that felt capable of shattering the very crust of Horochora. Every thunderous footstep sent violent shockwaves through the earth, constantly throwing off Eugene’s balance."Shit! How the hell did you even climb up that tre
How to beat the stone monster pt.2
When the golem spotted the other presence that had irritated it, it went berserk, thrashing until the tree Ed was lounging in shook violently. Ed nearly lost his balance, but just as he prepared to bolt with his blinding speed—the golem’s giant palm snatched him right out of the air."Argh!" he cried out, feeling as though his very bones were being crushed in the vice grip.Meanwhile, Eugene struggled frantically to free his trapped leg. Just as he managed to stand back up, a lingering sting shooting up his calf, Ed unleashed a point-blank burst of lightning straight into the golem's face, forcing the giant to drop him instantly.Ed flashed away, his boots hitting the dirt, but the moment he landed—his balance faltered. He nearly collapsed, his face suddenly draining of all color.Now that Eugene finally had a brief window to breathe and regroup, Ed became the sole target of the golem's fury. The beast locked its blazing eyes onto the Rank 1 demigod, and strangely—Ed wasn't moving at
How to beat the stone monster
Eugene managed to dodge just in time. The golem’s massive fist slammed hard into the dirt, triggering a localized tremor that nearly knocked Eugene off his feet—but he scrambled away, ducking behind the trunk of a massive tree.The golem rampaged in the background, tearing through the clearing in search of him. Pressed flat against the bark, Eugene fought to regulate his ragged breathing."What the hell is that thing? I’ve never seen a literal rock giant!" Eugene gasped, his chest heaving wildly."As you can plainly see, it is a stone giant." Ed’s calm voice suddenly shattered his focus—the boy had materialized directly in front of him."What the hell are you playing at, Edward? Are you actually trying to get me killed?""If my intention was to kill you, I would have simply done so from the very beginning," Ed replied, his freezing gaze radiating absolute indifference toward Eugene’s accusation.Eugene shot back, "But you literally DID try to kill me—with your domain, remember?""Ah,
Good tutor? Nonsense!
Whatever Leonidas had meant that afternoon remained completely unanswered. As for what exactly his grand plan was, Eugene was left entirely in the dark.Eugene sat in the academy cafeteria picking at his breakfast platter—easily the most luxurious and nutritious meal he had ever eaten in his entire life. But his taste buds barely registered any of it; his mind was entirely consumed by anxiety."I seriously don't have a single person I can trust around here," he muttered in frustration, roughly running a hand through his brunette hair, which had grown noticeably longer."First Mr. Soso, and now Leonidas. The guy literally dragged me into this place, but now he’s acting sketchy as hell," Eugene added, staring down into his bronze goblet of milk as if it could reflect his mounting dread. "What even IS this Anti-Bind power? And how am I supposed to figure it out if Olympus itself doesn't even have a track record of it?"Suddenly, someone approached with heavy, stomping steps, coming to a
Dynamic duo
The entire class was stunned by Sovaccio's announcement that Eugene would be placed in Edward's squad."Edward, you haven't joined a squad yet because of your... let's call it popularity. Most students feel a bit intimidated and steer clear. So, how about you form a squad with Eugene, seeing as you two both love hogging the spotlight?"The classroom fell dead silent. No one dared to speak up, though their collective shock was palpable. But Ed seemed to effortlessly read his classmates' minds—they were all thinking that this squad pairing was an absolute contradiction."Ah, I guess it sounds more like a dynamic duo than a squad right now, huh?"Ed might technically be a demihuman, sure; but as the reigning Rank 1 student—and more importantly, the son of the King of the Gods—being forced to partner up with the spawn of a crippled blacksmith god like Hephaestus was a massive blow to his pride.Not to mention the outcome of their sparring match yesterday. Even though Ed was the indisputab
