Goodbye
The day had finally come — the day we would leave for Asterin.The sunlight poured warmly into my room, yet inside I felt nothing but sorrow at the thought of leaving my parents behind. I sat up in bed and placed my hand over my heart.“I’ll become stronger — strong enough to protect them. That will be my purpose while I’m at the Academy.”I clenched my fist against my chest, determination burning in my eyes.“That’s a good goal. I support it.”Rei’s voice came out of nowhere as he continued packing his things.I’d completely forgotten he was sharing the room with me. My face flushed bright red. “Mind your own business! Don’t eavesdrop on my thoughts!” I snapped, embarrassed. “I’m trying to,” he replied with that calm, blank look of his, though a teasing smile hid behind it. “It’s just hard when you’re yelling at yourself.”“Ugh…” I grumbled, choosing to storm out of the room rather than give him the satisfaction of seeing me blush harder.In the kitchen, both my parents were waitin
The Trial
The remaining months passed swiftly and quietly, with little to mark their passing.For my fourteenth birthday, my parents gave me a new neglance to replace the one I'd broken during the battle against Unit 1283. Rei had already grown used to living with us; each day, he blended more naturally into our lives. As for Senna, I had only spoken to her a few times since then — brief exchanges when we crossed paths during training.I had finally reached the seventh Mana Orb. That meant it was time for another trial.For safety, I told Senna to stay by my side while I attempted it — in case something went wrong."Mother, I'm heading out to train with Senna!" I said, finishing my breakfast in a hurry before standing up and rushing to the door."All right, son — but don't be late. You still need to pack when you get back," she called out, rinsing the dishes."Pack? Why do I need to pack?" I asked, confused."You're leaving for Asterin tomorrow," she replied, her tone soft but her lips curved d
My first love
Would they miss me if I disappeared… or died? Probably not.All I've ever done is hurt people — never managed to form a bond that truly mattered.Do I even deserve this second chance?"Only you can decide that," a woman's voice spoke from within the darkness."In this life, you can make things right. You cannot change your past mistakes, but the present is still in your hands."Her voice was warm — a tone that melted something frozen deep inside me."This life is nothing like the one before. You have a loving family, friends, someone you care about… and peace."Her words pulled me out of my self-blame. Slowly, my eyes opened, and the song of birds greeted me. Rei was already awake, training. The air around him stood still as he focused his mana.Ever since he started living with us, that's been his morning ritual — growing stronger, to avenge his father.I didn't want to disturb him, so I quietly stood up and went to have breakfast.Mother was already eating."Good morning, Mother!" I
Zey's farewell
My consciousness began to return slowly.The darkness in my vision was replaced by a faint light. I could hear muffled voices — my parents, their friends... and Nari."Move aside," Nari said urgently, kneeling beside Rei. She placed her hands over him and began using her ability."What happened here?" — that was the question on everyone's face.They turned toward the motionless figure of 1283, and their expressions froze."What is a Veldori soldier doing here?" Their eyes could barely comprehend what they were seeing."How did they manage to defeat him?" Siena asked, kneeling down to inspect his mana crystal. "I don't know how many orbs he possessed, but one thing's certain — he was a black-level mana user." Her words deepened the shock in everyone's eyes."He wasn't alone."The words left my lips through heavy breaths as I weakly pointed toward the cave. "There were more of them… inside." My arm trembled; I could barely hold it up."Don't push yourself," Nari said softly, her voice t
When the World stopped breathing
The day had finally come. Getting out of bed was harder than usual.That old, long-forgotten feeling — uncertainty — crept back into me.Can we really pull this off? Without Bloodweave, we don't stand a chance.They're all at least Green or even Purple level… and 1283… he might be far beyond that.I got ready in silence. Strapped my sword to my back, fastened the necklace around my neck.Then I heard voices — my parents talking to someone in the kitchen.Curious, I walked closer. Two guests sat with them, a man and a woman.As I stepped inside, their conversation stopped."Ah, so this is your son, Olig," the man said, smiling wide. "You've told me so much about how talented he is."The woman turned to me and smiled. "Hello, Narihu. I'm Siena, and this is Arthur."Her eyes studied me with a curious warmth, as if she was trying to see the truth in my father's stories."Go on, Narihu, introduce yourself," my mother said."I'm Narihu… thirteen years old. There's not much else to say," I m
Bloodweave
I never truly believed I could use my old technique with this body.But if I somehow could… it would change everything.It would make me unstoppable.A true Crimson-tier ability.In my previous life, I called it Bloodweave — the art of manipulating my own blood.With it, I could shape my life's essence into weapons or armor — a blade sharp enough to split steel, or a shield that no strike could pierce.Every time I fought, it turned the tide.The more blood I lost, the stronger I became.But it always came at a cost.Lose too much, and the body collapses. Push too far, and you die.I found a spot near the river — quiet, hidden, surrounded by trees.No one would come here. Perfect for training."Alright… let's start." (I muttered, taking a knife and cutting into my palm)Blood flowed, but nothing happened.No pulse of mana, no connection, no movement.Just pain."Damn it… why isn't it working?" (I whispered, watching the red drip down my hand, feeling frustration eat away at me)I trie
