2026-08-10 04:59:29Inside the river, Lucifer could feel the subtle warmth as he scrubbed his body clean.
It was a form of baptism to him, as though he was washing away his past life and behaviors. After he finished cleaning himself up, he thought of something and, standing naked in the midst of the pool, he glanced at the system. [Creation Points: 5] ‘This should work, right?’ the youth hesitated briefly, then his thoughts moved. In his mind, a series of imaginations subtly formed. As though sensing what he was forming, the system glowed briefly. [Detected the blueprint of a normal drying towel. This will cost a single Creation Point to create. Do you wish to go ahead with the creation?] Lucifer’s eyes widened as he stared at the system’s words. It seemed almost impossible, and for a moment, he didn't know what to think. Subconsciously, he hesitated, then nodded. “Yes.” He watched as his Creation Points decreased by one, becoming 4. [The System Store has been unlocked.] [System Store: This is an artificial space where all created physical equipment is stored. Please withdraw the item.] Lucifer read through the lines of words and then noticed a glittering tab appearing lightly in front of his display screen. He blinked, then clicked it, and the moment he did, he noticed he had appeared in an illusory space. It was a vast expanse of white, which seemed only a few meters across. And inside the mysterious space was a single… towel. Lucifer stretched out his hand and took the illusory material, realizing that a similar thing had appeared in his hand. ‘What? What?’ Lucifer was stupefied as he stared at the towel in his hand. It seemed no different from a normal towel, and if he didn't know it was something he had just created, he wouldn't have even thought that something like this was created from an ability. He drew in a sharp breath. ‘So this is the true power of my F-rank ability, Creation, when it is evolved to SSS-rank Primordial Genesis?’ Lucifer was stupefied, finding the whole thing hard to believe. He thought for a moment and decided on something, wrapping the towel around himself to dry his body. ‘Since I could create a physical object, this should work, right? Let me try creating one F-rank ability I've seen before… this should help me mask my aura. If it is successful, I will have nothing to worry about as I quickly head back to the academy.’ With that thought, Lucifer made his move, reiterating the description of the F-rank talent he had previously seen one of his classmates display. It was a talent that could make one have a barely noticeable presence in the vicinity of beasts. The description quickly took form in Lucifer’s mind, and just as he had expected, the system glowed with a line of words. [Congratulations on designing the blueprint of an F-rank ability. This will cost 2 Creation Points. Do you wish to proceed with the creation?] Lucifer quickly nodded and held his breath. The Creation Points decreased once again, from 4 down to 2. Then, Lucifer felt a strange sensation in his mind. A splitting headache erupted as the knowledge of the ability engraved itself into his mind. He clutched his head tightly, groaning in pain as he struggled to process the information. After a short while, Lucifer finally regained himself and stood up, his breathing ragged. He stared at his hands, then his thoughts went to his system. Among the lines of words, another one had been added. [Talent: F-rank Stealth.] [Stealth: This is a low-grade talent that can mask your presence slightly, causing extremely low-grade beasts to be unable to detect you. Cost: 1 Mana Point/Hour.] ‘Damn! I really gained a new talent!’ Lucifer was stupefied. In a daze, he subconsciously activated the ability. Previously possessing the F-rank talent Creation, he was already familiar with the process of activating one’s ability. The next moment, he felt as though his aura had decreased slightly. From afar, his figure would appear blurry to one's eyes. Feeling the mysterious change, Lucifer was filled with excitement. ‘Primordial Genesis! Such an overpowered ability!’ Lucifer exclaimed internally. Leaving the ability active, he walked to where he had previously hung his clothes and turned around, heading straight to the academy. The walk back was slightly more dangerous than normal, but with the newly created F-rank talent, Lucifer could handle the danger much more easily. Along the way, he even took the time to kill a few more animals, raising his Creation Points from 2 all the way to 10.5! It was truly a qualitative increase! … After a few hours had passed, Lucifer’s eyes finally met the familiar gates. They were massive, stretching for a few meters. They seemed fortified with bronze and looked extremely strong, with a few engravings on them. He glanced down. There at the gate were two guards. One of them was a muscular man with a mustache, while the man beside him, with a box-shaped face, seemed to be in his early twenties. Upon sensing the strange presence, both men immediately raised their guard. “State your identity!” the muscular man spoke in a gruff voice. Lucifer paused in his steps, then opened his mouth lightly to speak. “Lucifer, Class One. I went on a dungeon-clearing mission with my… friends.” His voice grew low, and his gaze darkened at the last part. The muscular guard stepped forward, studying Lucifer intently. Then, his eyes widened slightly as he recalled this youth. He smiled, patting Lucifer on the shoulder. “You may head back. Your mission was supposed to last a day. Why are you so late?” Lucifer just remained silent at his words. The guard, seeing this, just exhaled, then gestured for his mate to open the gate. The middle-aged man nodded and then walked briskly to the gate, opening it lightly. Lucifer glanced at them for a moment, an unknown thought flickering in his eyes. Turning his head away, he stepped through the gate. ‘Welcome back, Lucifer,’ he said to himself as he walked through the familiar streets, heading back to his dorm room. Back at the gate, the middle-aged guard stared at the muscular man. “It's unlike you to know someone as unremarkable as that. Is there something special about him?” The muscular man sighed lightly, then as though recalling memories, he began speaking. “He is a victim of bullying. Occasionally, he comes to me to do something about it, but as you know, in the presence of those big families, there is nothing I can do.” The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. “Towards situations like this, you should just ignore them. His talent can't possibly be good. With a trash talent, is there a need to invest in someone like him?” The muscular guard let out a breath. “I guess not.” … Lucifer was unaware of the discussion between the two. The dormitory was situated a few meters away from the gate. This was done so that the students wouldn't be easily attacked should anything happen in the academy. Reaching the massive towering building, Lucifer took the elevator to the third floor, reaching room number 204. His head hung low as he stepped inside, meeting his roommates.

Dark sparks covered Spidey's small body, slowly growing brighter as the evolution continued. Its eight legs curled inward, and its body began to shake. Lucifer watched as the spider was wrapped in a thick layer of darkness that hid its shape from view.The darkness remained around it for several seconds before slowly shrinking. When it finally disappeared, Spidey was no longer the same small spider Lucifer had summoned earlier.Its body had grown larger, now about the size of a small dog. Its eight legs were longer and thicker, with sharp points at their ends. Its black shell had become harder and smoother, while thin red lines ran across its back and legs. Two small red eyes glowed beneath its head, and its mouth had several rows of sharp teeth.Spidey moved its legs and looked around before turning toward Lucifer."Well, you certainly look different."The spider crawled closer and raised its front legs. Lucifer watched it carefully, trying to see if its behaviour had changed along w

The group did not leave the area immediately. They spent some time checking the bodies of the monsters they had killed and collecting anything that might be useful. Since they could spend several days searching the island, carrying food with them was important. They could not afford to waste time hunting for meals every few hours.Raj and Lilo gathered several of the larger carcasses while Kellan helped remove the parts that could be stored and carried. The meat would last them for a while, and they could always hunt more if they ran out.Once they had finished, the group continued deeper into the forest.Blue Wood Island was enormous, and searching every section would take time. Even if they moved without stopping, traversing a single section could take seventeen to twenty hours. That was assuming they did not encounter anything that slowed them down.With proper rest between searches, each section could take a day or even longer to cover.They had five sections to investigate, so Lu

Lucifer continued cutting down the monsters, slowly becoming more familiar with the odachi in his hand. Although he had lost the ability to use Dragon Dance, his knowledge of fighting had not disappeared. He understood how to handle a weapon, read an opponent's movements, and make use of openings.However, the armour was still unfamiliar to him.Whenever he moved, the plates shifted slightly with his body. They did not restrict his movements, but he could feel the difference between wearing it and fighting without armour. He needed time to understand how much force it could withstand and how it responded to his movements.A monster suddenly jumped at him from behind a tree.Lucifer turned his head, but before he could react, the creature's claws were already approaching his face. He raised his left arm, allowing the attack to strike his armour.The impact pushed him sideways, but the plates held firm.He immediately turned and swung his odachi. The blade passed through the monster's n

Lucifer looked down in surprise as dark sparks moved across his arms and chest. They spread quickly, covering his entire body before forming solid shapes around him.[Hidden Trait Unlocked][Master's Armament][When its master is in danger, Spidey can temporarily lend the master any of its assets at its own discretion.][The master can use the abilities of the borrowed assets, but they will return to Spidey once the danger has passed or Spidey withdraws them.]The sparks gathered around Lucifer, forming a dark suit of armour.It resembled medieval armour, but its design was far from ordinary. Several layers of dark plates covered his body, fitting tightly around his muscles like an exoskeleton. The plates overlapped at his chest, shoulders, arms, and legs, while narrow gaps between them allowed his body to move freely. Thin lines of dark energy ran through the intersections, connecting each piece and giving the armour a strange, almost living appearance.The shoulder guards were raise

Lucifer had already discovered that he could activate the traits of Spidey's assets, even though he could not summon or dismiss them. There were still several other assets in the spider's list that could prove useful to him, but he needed to find a way to make it use them.Perhaps training would help.The creature was still new to him, and he had not spent enough time studying its behaviour. If he could teach it to follow simple commands, he might eventually be able to make it summon and dismiss its assets whenever he wanted.There was also the possibility that some of its abilities would activate on their own when it faced danger.After all, it had used its darkness to conceal itself inside the ketch. It might have been a natural reaction rather than something it had been ordered to do.If Spidey could summon an asset when its life was in danger, then perhaps the best way to discover its limits was to put it through difficult situations.Lucifer shook his head. He would think about t

The journey toward Blue Wood Island took longer than Lucifer had expected.Although the ketch was moving faster than they could have travelled on foot, the distance between the islands was still great. The red waves stretched beneath them, and the two landmasses they had seen from the previous island slowly grew larger as they approached.The mist surrounding the ketch made it difficult to see them from a distance. It also covered most of the noise produced by the vessel, allowing them to travel without drawing too much attention. Even when the wind grew stronger and the waves began to hit the hull, the ketch remained steady.Lucifer stood near the front of the vessel, watching the water.He had checked the ketch's traits several times since they set sail. Mist Veil and Silent Current were still active, and Deepwater Protection had not shown any signs of weakening. So far, the vessel had performed better than he expected.The others were not as relaxed.Raj kept looking over the side,
