The heavy, gilded doors of House Vanguard’s main hall groaned shut, cutting off the echo of Vice Captain Ronan Varis’s fading footsteps. Around them, the cavernous interior—all vaulted arches, marble pillars, and looming banners—woke up into a low, chaotic buzz.Senior members were already slipping down dimly lit corridors, leaving the new batch to mill about like lost livestock under the soaring ceiling.Dev rolled his shoulders, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth as his eyes gravitated toward the grand staircase curving up into the darkness."Alright, man," he nudged Reyan’s shoulder with an elbow. "Let's snag a room before somebody leaves us with the floor mats."Jordan hitched his pack higher on his shoulder. "Lead the way. I'm not sleeping on marble.""You won't have to," a voice cut in from the shadows of a nearby pillar. "Because you won't be picking one."It was soft, but sharp enough to stop them mid-step.The three turned.A girl stepped into the ambient glow of the
House Vanguard Part 2
The loud chatter echoing across the massive training ground slowly died down as the senior officer stepped forward once again. His sharp, calculating eyes swept over the thousands of fresh-faced cadets before him."Congratulations," he boomed, his voice carrying effortlessly across the sprawling field. "From this moment on, you all officially belong to one of the Eight Houses."But before anyone could even think about cheering, he completely shut down the mood."Don't celebrate just yet. Getting into a House isn't some VIP privilege—it's a massive responsibility. Starting today, these people are your family. The cadets standing next to you right now are the ones you're going to sweat with, fight alongside, and yeah... maybe even die beside."That killed the excitement real quick. An uneasy, heavy silence dropped over the crowd. The officer didn't miss a beat."Every House has its own deep-rooted traditions, its own brutal instructors, and its own sky-high expectations. You're going to
House Vanguard
Reyan's gaze lingered on the eight towering flags fluttering in the wind. Each banner represented one of the academy's legendary Houses. He turned toward Dev and Jordan. "So... what do you guys think?" Reyan asked. "Which House are we going to end up in?" Jordan folded his arms as he looked at the flags. "Well, Reyan... it mostly depends on our abilities and our combat styles." He pointed toward the crimson banner bearing the silver spear. "Someone like you, who uses an offensive ability like Fire, has a high chance of being assigned to House Vanguard." He then looked at Dev. "The same goes for Dev. His Wex Manipulation is extremely versatile in battle, but it's still an offensive combat ability." "And me..." Jordan tapped his own chest with a grin. "Weapon Manifestation is made for direct combat." He nodded thoughtfully. "If I had to guess, the three of us have the highest chance of ending up in either House Vanguard or House Nova." Reyan tilted his head. "
Houses
Reyan stood silently.His crimson eyes slowly returned to their normal color.The garden was quiet.Three bodies lay scattered across the broken ground.The smell of blood lingered in the air.The girl with short green hair sat frozen on the ground.Her glasses had slipped slightly down her nose.Her entire body trembled.She stared at Reyan as if she were looking at a monster.Reyan looked at the bodies for a few seconds before turning toward her.He slowly walked over.The girl instinctively tried to crawl backward."B-Please..."Her voice shook."I-I won't..."Reyan stopped in front of her.He slowly crouched down until their eyes were level.His expression remained completely blank.He knew he had to make sure she stayed silent."Listen carefully."His voice was cold."If anyone finds out what happened here..."He slowly pointed toward the three bodies."...you'll end up the same as them."The girl's face turned completely pale.She noticed his eyes.Even though the crimson glow h
The Monster Within
Reyan vanished.The gold-haired boy opened his eyes wide."Where did he go?!"One of the boys suddenly felt someone right next to him. He turned his head slowly. Reyan was there."What the—"Before the boy could move, Reyan grabbed his face. His hand was as hard as iron. The boy tried hard to pull the hand away."Let me go!"Reyan's red eyes showed nothing. No anger. No sad feelings. Just a blank stare.BOOM!Reyan slammed the boy's head hard into the dirt and rocks. The ground shook. A loud, bad CRACK! rang in the quiet garden. Blood splashed on the grass. The boy's body shook once. His fingers moved a little. Then, nothing. He lay still.The little girl froze. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. She was sitting in the grass, backed up against a large tree trunk. She was not looking at the dead boy. She was looking at Reyan. The boy who came to save her had just killed a person with his bare hands."What..." she whispered.Her legs felt like water. She could not stand up.The ot
The Hunger Grows
Reyan sat in the quiet of his room, his eyes closed in deep concentration.Ever since he had downed the Fire Resonance Liquid, a strange, steady warmth had settled deep within his chest. It was a stark contrast to the agonizing pain he had endured earlier; this heat was a calm, almost comforting hum beneath his ribs.Suddenly, the familiar chime of the system echoed in his mind, and a translucent blue screen materialized in the dark.[Host has successfully awakened Fire Resonance.][Fire Resonance is compatible with the Host's race.][Fire Ability Unlocked.]Reyan slowly opened his eyes, letting out a breath he didn't realize he was holding."So... I can actually use it now," he murmured.He looked down at his palms, turning his hands over in the dim light. He waited for a spark, a glow, or even a sudden spike in temperature. But there was nothing. No roaring flames. No radiant heat. Just his ordinary, calloused hands."That's it?" he whispered, frowning at his fingertips. "No dramati
