2026-07-10 19:16:44"You do not speak to your mother that way. Ever!"
Gara's voice thundered across the arena like a bolt of lightning. Her fist tightened around Richard's right ankle before she swung him overhead and slammed him violently into the earth. BOOM! A massive cloud of dust exploded outward, engulfing the first and second floors of the arena. Richard grunted in agony as blood spilled from his mouth. His white hair clung together in messy strands, stained crimson and coated with red sand that stuck to the side of his face. Gara stepped forward through the dust and seized him by the throat with one hand, lifting him effortlessly into the air. He coughed violently as his vision doubled. "For all these years, I have shown you nothing but love, kindness, and protection—the things a good mother should give her child, Richard Alucard. My dear son." Her fingers tightened around his neck. Richard let out a pained scream, his face rapidly turning red. "But today..." Her emerald eyes narrowed. "Today, I will show you how an Orc mother handles her own child." The sound of cracking bones echoed through the arena. Richard screamed louder. A moment later, he coughed a mouthful of blood directly into her face. His vision turned crimson as blood rushed violently to his head. "You have no idea what I endured to stand where I am today, boy." Without warning, Gara hurled him away. BANG! Richard skipped across the ground like a stone before crashing into one of the arena's reinforced walls. Chunks of stone exploded in every direction. His eyes rolled inward before returning again. "You carry within you two powerful bloodlines, Richard." She marched forward deliberately, cracking her knuckles with every step. "One is a bloodline of immense strength and pride. The other is a bloodline of unmatched endurance and unwavering resolve." *Crack. Crack. Crack.* "That alone should make you unbreakable." She stopped before him. "Mere gossip should remain mere gossip—especially when it comes from the mouths of weaklings." Her body seemed to grow larger with every passing second. Muscles bulged beneath her skin as her Orc heritage surfaced. "And when those words come from the strong..." She raised her fist high above her head. "...you prove them wrong." Her foot sank into the ground beneath her immense weight. "You do not allow yourself to fall into words that do not define you're life!" BAM! Her fist crashed into Richard's face. The reinforced wall caved inward. Spiderweb cracks spread through the stone. Richard coughed blood repeatedly, his eyes shaking uncontrollably. "Accept who you are, boy!" BAM! Her left fist slammed into his ribs. Several bones cracked instantly. Blood splattered across the red sand. "You are Richard Alucard!" BAM! BAM! A devastating combination struck his chin and chest. "The son of an Orc!" BAM! The cracks spread farther. The entire arena trembled. "The son of a Dragon!" BAM! Her next punch drove his face deeper into the shattered wall. "You are the Half-Blood Prince of the Dark Realm!" An emerald aura erupted from her body like a raging storm. ----- Deep within the heart of the volcano... seating several miles away from the capital. Slowly, deliberately, Alucard Bonefire opened his eyes. ----- Gara's knuckles whitened. "Embrace who you are, Richard!" Her fist descended. It fell like a comet. BOOOOOM! A monstrous shockwave erupted from the arena and swept across the capital. Chloe's eyes widened. The blast of wind struck her head-on and sent her tumbling across the ground like a ragdoll. As the dust gradually settled, half of the reinforced wall collapsed. Soon after, nearly half of the arena followed. ----- Across the city, knights, adventurers, and members of various organizations immediately began moving toward the source of the disturbance. ----- From one of the palace towers, Bron observed the destruction below. A faint smile appeared on his lips. *Mother and son. I hope she killed the disgrace.* With that thought, he continued ascending the tower. ----- Below, whispers rapidly spread throughout the capital. "What is happening?" "Look! The disturbance is coming from the Royal Arena." "It must be the royal family training again." "Could it be a monster attack?" "No, if it were a monster attack, the alarms would've sounded." ----- Gara stared down at Richard's unmoving body. "Tomorrow is the Royal Gathering. Be there, and be at your best." She calmly wiped the blood from her knuckles using a brown cloth. Without another word, she turned and walked away. Her footsteps slowly faded into the distance. *You cannot change what has already been established, idiot mother.* Richard slowly pushed himself into a sitting position before spitting out another mouthful of blood. *But Don't worry.* A bitter smile appeared on his battered face. *I won't be a burden... or a curse to anyone ever again.* His strength finally gave out. He collapsed back onto the broken ground. ----- "My Lady!" Chloe rushed toward Gara as the Orc woman's enlarged form gradually returned to normal. She came to a sharp stop beside her. "Help him back to the castle, Chloe," Gara ordered. She retrieved her massive axe from Chloe's hands. "I'm going to the dungeon." "Y-Yes, Chief." Chloe bowed deeply before sprinting toward the prince. ----- "Your Highness!" She cried as she wrapped Richard's arm around her shoulders. "You're too noisy, maid." His voice was barely above a whisper. "S-Sorry." Carefully, she supported his battered body as they left the ruined arena. Halfway back to the capital, Richard suddenly stopped. "I can walk from here." "Your Highness—" "Go home." His tone left no room for argument. Reluctantly, Chloe obeyed. Richard watched her leave before taking a completely different route. ------ "Are you certain this poison can kill someone like me?" Richard held up a small glass bottle while staring at the merchant seated across from him. The seller was completely concealed beneath a dark robe. "Hehehe..." The stranger laughed. "It comes from the Badlands, Your Highness. Trust me, it will kill you without issue." Dirty water dripped from the ceiling of the underground city. Green moss covered ancient stone walls and cracked pathways. The entire place smelled of rot, dampness, sweat, and death. "If this doesn't work..." Richard's eyes narrowed. "...I'm coming back here to kill you." The merchant's laughter only grew louder. Richard slipped the bottle into his pocket. "Here's your payment." He dropped two gold coins engraved with dragon eyes onto the counter. *Clink. Clink.* Without another word, he turned and left. "Thank you for your patronage, kind customer." The hooded merchant chuckled menacingly as he watched the prince disappear into the darkness. Richard strode through the underground city alone. His face remained hidden beneath his hood. His steps were calm. His expression was empty. And inside his pocket, his fingers remained wrapped around the bottle.

Allen
The entire council held its breath, waiting for Allen to speak.He sighed deeply before finally raising his head."The Titanborns insulted the royal prince and his mother."The moment the words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted into murmurs. Bron's fists slammed against the desk in front of him, his expression darkening."Allen Titanborn!"The judge slammed his hammer against the bench."Are you lying before this council?"Allen stepped forward, his expression unwavering."I would never lie to the council. I've served the king and the royal family for hundreds of years. If I were a liar, I would have been executed a long time ago."Richard relaxed on the wooden altar in front of him, a faint smile appearing on his face."The prince did what was right. The Titanborn brothers committed a grave crime by insulting the royal family, and Richard acted within the boundaries of the law.""Liar!"Tino suddenly shouted, his voice echoing throughout the hall."Stop lying before the council
Witnesses
The head of the council stepped forward.He stood a little over five feet tall, his entire face concealed beneath a dark hood, leaving only his glowing red eyes visible through the shadows.He surveyed the chamber for a moment before speaking."We are all gathered here this morning to bear witness and serve as judges in a case that was reported to His Royal Majesty by an unknown party. Their identities have been kept hidden at their own request, as they wish to remain anonymous."He paused briefly."A case has been filed against the Halfbreed Prince, who was recently granted his royal rights by the king. The council shall now commence its hearing."The council head stepped down from the raised platform.Immediately, murmurs erupted among the nobles.Some whispered behind their hands while others exchanged knowing glances.For a brief moment, Richard and Bron locked eyes.Their gazes were cold and intense.*Today, I will put you where you belong, Richard.*Bron's fists clenched tightly

Leveling Up In Confinement
This time, upon seeing Richard naked, Chloe didn't shy away. Instead, she kept staring at him, her gaze lingering longer than it should, as though she couldn't pull herself away."My mother informed me of your sudden departure. You could have at least told me before leaving."Her eyes continued stealing brief glances at his body despite her efforts to remain composed."I'm sorry, Your Highness. The Queen ordered me to leave immediately."She lowered her head once again, unable to meet his eyes."Well, I suppose I have no reason to remain angry."A faint, dangerous smile spread across Richard's face as he closed the distance between them before she could even blink."You've become even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."His grin widened as he studied her expression carefully."T-thank you..."A faint blush crept across her cheeks."I'm going to need you to do something for me, Chloe," he whispered, his eyes briefly shifting toward the closed door before returning to hers."A
The Path Of My Own God
Richard grunted as his eyes slowly fluttered open."He really didn't have to hit me that hard," he muttered to himself as he pushed himself upright on the bed."Ouch..."He reached behind his head, wincing the moment his fingers touched the swollen spot. It still burned fiercely despite everything."I guess there are some things regeneration doesn't work on."Just then, a familiar notification materialized before him. Sitting at the edge of the bed with his bare feet resting on the cold obsidian tiles, Richard quietly read through the glowing screen.Ding![Daily Quest Completed]Quest: Assert Dominance — CompletedTask 1: Defeat Every Opponent Who Challenges You — CompletedTask 2: Instill Fear in Them and Everyone Around Them — CompletedRewards:Basic Talent Awakening Pill ×1+500 System PointsComplete Map of the Hidden Treasures Within the Riftscar Badlands ×1[+5,000 EXP]Level 9 → Level 12All Stats Increased ×50'That map will become useful later.'

The Ogre Commander
The royal guards marched onto the balcony, but none of them dared step onto the battlefield. The entire arena had been transformed into a frozen wasteland, with countless razor-sharp pillars of ice erupting from the ground like the fangs of a monstrous beast. Even the bravest soldiers hesitated, knowing a single wrong step would leave them impaled.A loud crack echoed through the silence.Allen shattered the thick layer of ice that had trapped him. He stumbled forward, coughing violently as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. His breathing was uneven, and although he remained seated on one knee, his sharp eyes calmly swept across the devastated battlefield."Prideful, stupid morons..." he muttered under his breath.His gaze lingered on the destruction surrounding him."Using forbidden magic inside the royal castle... Even if it wasn't the original version of the spell, if anyone survives this, the king and the royal council won't let this incident slide."Crack!Crack!At the
