"Half of our units have gathered," reported a wiry student clad in dark red leathers, his face tense yet loyal. He stood before the golden-haired youth who wore a glint of triumph like a crown. "Your Highness, at this rate, we’ll punch through to the hut without breaking a sweat."Ryan—the student known publicly as Author, and secretly the crowned schemer of House Viorien—smiled with the faint smugness of someone who had stacked the board before the first move. His Dioki pulsed like radiant threads beneath his skin."How fares Tina Perez?" Ryan inquired, keeping his voice calm and calculated."A spotter caught sight of her about four ridges off—headed nowhere fast. She’s flanked by only two. We’ve got nine.""Perfect. Then it’s time to blitz the hut," Ryan said coolly. "Sweep every rank beneath our feet. We’ll take the summit. No mercy, no delay.""Yes, sir!" The messenger spun and r

Chapter 128: Hollow Echoes Beneath the Moon
Chapter 128: Hollow Echoes Beneath the Moon “This… this is where the original Ryan first drew breath, huh?” Ryan murmured, his voice carrying that strange blend of curiosity and melancholy. His eyes traced the humble rooftops of the tiny farming village below. The wind from Nidhogg’s colossal wings rushed past him as he leapt from the dragon’s back, landing lightly in the dirt road. Behind him, Sphinx padded down with a feline’s lethal grace, tail swaying like a pendulum that measured judgment. Anubis followed in silence, his jackal visage stern, shadow wrapping around him like an ever-present cloak. Together, the three divine beasts stood behind Ryan like an army of gods. It was no wonder the villagers reacted the way they did. Faces turned. Fingers pointed. Fear and awe rippled across the gathering crowd. Some villagers clutched their tools tight, others dropped what they were holding altogether. “Th-that’s
Chapter 127: Crimson Scroll of Broken Oaths
Chapter 127: Crimson Scroll of Broken OathsChaollete Ashley’s lips curved into the faintest smile, one of those subtle expressions that carried both warmth and restraint. She was happy—genuinely happy—because Ryan remembered her words. She tilted her head toward him and murmured, “For now, I already have a plan. You don’t need to act, not yet. But… it does mean I’ll drag danger close to your parents.”Ryan’s dark eyes softened, steady and unwavering. He gave a nod. “Then I’ll leave it in your hands. As for my parents—don’t trouble yourself with worry. I intend to visit them soon. Missions can wait. My teacher has ordered me to the Ancient Library of the Fairy Queen, and that journey… I must undertake alone.”His tone was calm, but the words carried weight. The Ancient Library wasn’t some roadside archive. It was a labyrinth of living tomes and sealed truths, a place where even whispers of Dioki carried the echo of ages.“I don’t know ho
Chapter 126: Shackles of Memory, Chains of Blood
Chapter 126: Shackles of Memory, Chains of BloodClack!The door shut with a hollow finality, echoing through the corridor like a closing coffin lid. Ryan leaned against it for a moment, his chest tight, his chin sinking until his forehead nearly touched his chest. His breath was shallow, uneven, and his hands trembled slightly at his sides.‘The original Ryan’s parents, huh?’ His mind whispered the thought like a curse etched on glass. Just those words dragged him somewhere he despised—dragged him backward, away from the strength he had built in this new world.It was like a trapdoor opening beneath his feet. One second he was here in Frexia Academy, surrounded by structured order, knowledge, Dioki energy saturating the halls. The next, he was a boy again—eleven years old, standing in that wretched kitchen on Earth.---His father’s stench hit him first, a cocktail of stale beer, unwashed skin, and cheap cigarettes.
Chapter 125: The Whisper of Blood and the Shadows of Kin
Ryan lowered his gaze, his fingers unconsciously clenching and unclenching at his side. A gnawing unease dug into him, one that words could not easily soothe.Vivian had sharp instincts, sharp enough to carve through falsehoods like a blade through silk. She must have already guessed the truth—that his Dioki, that wild current of shimmering energy that lived within his veins, was far too scarce to sustain the miracles he had been unleashing.Sphinx alone had demanded rivers of power to awaken, and yet Ryan had not crumbled. Not long after, he had gone further, calling forth Anubis in defiance of every logical boundary. By all rights, he should have collapsed into ash and silence.It didn’t add up.It didn’t make sense.Unless… something had happened to him. Something he couldn’t remember.Ryan’s jaw tightened as the thought stung like a thorn buried beneath flesh.“Tell me,” Vivian’s voice pressed, soft but edg

Chapter 124: A Ledger of Secrets, A Teacher’s BlushRyan stood in front of the vice principal’s office desk, back straight, eyes sharp, and posture firm like a soldier before a superior. The air smelled faintly of paper, burning incense, and faint traces of dried herbs—Vivian’s office always carried that sharp, earthy tang. Across from him, Vivian sat with arms crossed, her sharp gaze sweeping over him with an authority that could cut steel. Franca lingered near the bookshelves, her arms full of scrolls, pretending to be busy but very clearly eavesdropping on every word.“So that’s the situation,” Ryan said finally, voice even, but his chest still buzzing with the intensity of the report he’d just unloaded. “Alavenya will be arriving at the Academy. She’s not coming quietly either—trouble is written all over her name.”Vivian tapped her slender finger against the polished wooden table. Her nails made a soft tok, tok, tok that echoed like the clicking of a
Chapter 123: Ryan’s True Gambit — The Smile Beneath the Mask
Chapter 123: Ryan’s True Gambit — The Smile Beneath the MaskThe great Dragon King clenched his jaw so tight it was as though his teeth might crack into dust. His voice trembled, not with fear, but with the strain of holding back emotion he wasn’t supposed to show.“No,” he rumbled, a bass note that shook the hall. “There is no need for you to sacrifice yourself. I—”He stopped. He swallowed hard, as though the words themselves clawed like daggers in his throat.Across from him, his daughter Alavenya narrowed her eyes. She had seen through him. His hesitation, his faltering authority, his guilt—it was written across his massive frame no matter how he tried to hide it.Her father, the Dragon King who could split mountains with a breath, was faltering because of her.That only hardened her resolve.“Father,” she said, her voice sharp enough to cut steel. “You don’t have to force yourself to say it. I understand. You’ve carried too m
