2026-02-02 16:58:01Alex walked toward the base at a fast pace, knowing that if he wasted time, the person on his back would have less chance of survival.
Ryan, who was following Alex, kept pace while also observing their surroundings to avoid a surprise attack by any monsters.
It took them over ten minutes to reach the medical camp. After Alex put down the sergeant, he turned to the person who had followed him.
“You should get checked as well. If there are any issues, it could cause problems for you later.”Ryan heard Alex’s words and stretched out his hand.
“I’m Ryan White. What’s your name?”Alex shook his hand.
“Alex.”Ryan noticed the name on Alex’s uniform patch.
“Thank you for saving me.”Alex shook his head.
“No need to thank me,it’s my duty. If I’d reached you earlier, more of your unit might have been saved.”Ryan shook his head in response.
“You might have misunderstood. I’m not from the army but I’m a martial arts university student. My friends are in different groups. I was near the battle because she was facing four monsters at once.”Hearing this, Alex was surprised, but he knew he didn’t have time to stay and talk.
“It’s fine. I have to go. You should stay in the medical camp.”Ryan watched Alex walking away and called out,
“I’ll find you after the war stops.”Alex nodded without turning back and marched out.
Instead of returning to the battlefield, Alex headed to the information desk where soldiers were to report any news about the enemy.
“Hello, Sergeant. I have information about the enemy.”
The person at the information desk was not an ordinary soldier but a sergeant, which showed how seriously the army treated vital intelligence.
“A soldier from the logistics department? Okay, explain.”Alex knew logistics soldiers weren’t expected to gather information, as their work usually kept them near the base.
“Sergeant, I just saved an injured sergeant on the battlefield. On the way back, she was mumbling about a ‘High Bloodline Demon.’ I thought it might be sensitive information, so I came straight from the medical base.”Hearing “High Bloodline Demon,” the sergeant immediately stood up.
“Okay, soldier, your job is done here. Return to your duties.”Alex saluted.
“Yes, Sergeant.”As he turned to leave, the sergeant added,
“And don’t speak about the High Bloodline Demon to anyone.”Alex turned back.
“Yes, Sergeant.”Without hesitation, Alex left the base and marched toward his assigned position.
Meanwhile, the sergeant left the information desk and entered an office where a female officer was seated.
“Mina, can you take the front desk? I need to inform the general about something.”Without waiting for a reply, he hurried out.
The sergeant approached General Walter’s office and knocked.
“Come in.”
General Walter’s voice sounded from inside.
The sergeant entered to find General Walter and Lieutenant Matilda watching a live feed from the core area of the battlefield.
Before he could speak, General Walter asked,
“Sergeant Yan, do you have any information?”Sergeant Yan looked at the general.
“Sir, a soldier from the logistics department reported that while rescuing an injured soldier, she was mumbling about a ‘High Bloodline Demon.’”As soon as the words were spoken, both the general and the lieutenant seemed to freeze.
“Where is the injured soldier now?”
“General, she’s still unconscious. It may take a few days for her to regain consciousness.”Hearing this, Walter felt uneasy. He knew exactly what “Demon” implied.
“What about the person who saved her?”Sergeant Yan pulled out his phone to check the details.
“The soldier who saved her is named Alex.”Hearing the name, even Matilda looked surprised.
Walter fixed his eyes on Sergeant Yan.
“Where did he find her? I need every detail.”While General Walter reviewed the details, Alex was already back on the battlefield, moving through his assigned area.
“I’ve saved a few people, but the death toll here is still tragic.”
Alex looked down at a dead soldier.
“I should have gotten here faster. Maybe he could have survived.”His gaze shifted to the core area, where 4th-rank warriors and above were fighting.
“Damn it, where are those 6th-rank and above-mentioned elders? Can’t they prevent this slaughter?”Alex looked at a soldier who appeared to be his own age.
“Rest in peace, brother. I hope your next life brings you peace.”He began searching for soldiers who were at a disadvantage in the battle, all the while continuing to collect attributes.
[Picked up 10 points of strength.]
[Picked up 20 points of strength.][Picked up 10 points of speed.]Alex wasn’t focused on the attribute panel,he was concentrating on finding every possible way to save more people.
Just as he was about to scan another direction, he saw a female soldier about to be trapped by two monsters.
Alex increased his speed, rushing toward her as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, Lucy faced two 3rd-level monsters that were attacking relentlessly, giving her no chance to catch her breath.
“My teacher was right about the battlefield. We shouldn’t have taken these monsters lightly. The ones at the university were captive but these monsters on the battlefield aren’t.”As she searched for a weakness, she sensed another presence and turned to see a third 3rd-level monster approaching.
Distracted, she felt a sharp pain as claws raked across her side. She tried to counterattack but felt her energy draining rapidly.
“Am I going to die?”Just then, she saw a soldier appear in front of her. Seeing only one person, she doubted he could help.
“I should support him, or neither of us will make it.”But before she could move, she saw an astonishing display of sword technique.
“He’s reached an intermediate level with the sword.”She watched as he severed both legs of one monster.
At the same time.
Alex, fighting two 3rd-level monsters, knew he couldn’t reveal his full strength without raising suspicion. He avoided direct confrontations, letting his sword moves flow rhythmically.
When a monkey-like monster charged at him in a rage, Alex saw an opening.
“Now’s my chance.”Without hesitation, he darted forward. As the monster closed in, Alex dropped low and swung his sword at its legs.
His blade cut through the monster’s legs, but he didn’t stop. He pivoted and swung at the second monster approaching from behind.
Before the second monster could react, Alex’s sword pierced its chest. He pulled the blade free and swung again, aiming for its neck.
With a swift motion, he beheaded the monster. Then he turned to the first monster, now struggling without its legs, and finished it off.
[Picked up 800 points of strength.]
[Picked up 100 points of speed.][Picked up 920 points of strength.][Picked up 135 points of speed.][Picked up fragments of fire talent.]Alex glanced at the fire talent notification, recalling that his fire talent was already complete.
“Does talent evolve further if I collect more fragments?”He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice.
“Sir, thank you for saving me.”Alex turned to see the young woman. From her manner of speaking, he guessed she was from a university as well though he didn’t know which one.
“It’s my duty to help.” He assessed her condition. “You should return to base. You’re in no shape to stay here. If you remain, you’re risking your life.”Lucy still looked at him with gratitude.
“Sir, thank you so much.”Alex shook his head, then a thought struck him.
“Why are students operating alone? Shouldn’t you all be placed in the same area, supervised by designated soldiers?”

eighteen months
Alex walked through the palace gates on a grey morning, eighteen months and three days after he had left.The guards at the gate didn't recognize him at first. He didn't blame them. His clothes were in tatters, a patchwork of scavenged materials and monster hides that barely covered his scarred body. His beard was wild and unkempt, tangled with dirt and dried blood. His hair fell past his shoulders, matted and grey with dust. Scars covered every inch of visible skin, some old and faded, others fresh and pink, a map of the battles he had fought and the monsters he had killed.But his eyes were the same. Grey and sharp and burning with an inner fire that no amount of hardship could extinguish."It's Prince Alex," one of the guards whispered, his face going pale. "It's really him."The gates swung open.Reina was in the garden when he arrived, tending to the flowers she had planted decades ago. She looked up, and the watering can fell from her hands, clattering against the stone path wi
Abyss Titan
The Titan's lair was a chasm so deep that the bottom was lost in shadow.Alex and Veyra stood at the edge, looking down. The spiritual energy here was thick and malevolent, pressing against their senses like a physical weight. It was cold not the cold of winter, but the cold of absence, of emptiness, of places where life had never taken root and never would. Alex could feel the Titan's presence at the bottom of the chasm: a vast, ancient power that made even the Immortal realm lion seem like a cub, a darkness that seemed to drink the light from the air around it."It's waking," Veyra said quietly. Her voice was tight with tension, and her grip on her spear had shifted to something more ready. "We have minutes, not hours. Once it fully awakens, it will rise to the surface and begin feeding. Everything within a hundred miles will die.""Then we move."They start descending into the darkness.The chasm walls were slick with something that might have been moisture or might have been the
Veyra
The months blurred together after that first Immortal kill.Alex hunted across the deeper wilderness, seeking out Immortal realm monsters wherever they lurked. Each battle was a test of his new strength, each victory a step closer to the Beast God trial. He fought a corrupted wyvern whose wings blotted out the sun, its venom melting the stone where it fell, its death adding another 150,000 attribute points to his growing total. He fought a pack of shadow wolves that moved between dimensions, their attacks coming from angles that shouldn't exist, their coordination forcing him to push his space law to new levels of precision. He fought a stone giant that had slept for a thousand years, its body covered in moss and ancient runes, its awakening shaking the mountains for miles around.And with every battle, he grew stronger.Name: Alex RosharStar Force: Immortal realmLife Gene Level: 4500Talent: Fire (SSS-level), Water (S-level 1/48), Wood (S-level 1/48), Jade Body (SSS-level), Light
First Immortal
Five days after his encounter with the serpent, Alex found the lion.It was a creature made of molten stone, its mane crackling with flames that shifted from red to orange to white-hot. It stood at the edge of a volcanic crater, basking in the heat that rose from the depths, and when Alex crested the ridge overlooking the crater, it turned its massive head and looked directly at him.“Immortal realm. Early stage. But still Immortal.”Alex drew his sword. The blade was a masterwork, forged by Alena's best smiths and enhanced with his own fire law. It gleamed in the volcanic light, hungry for battle. He had been waiting for this moment for months for the first true test of his new strength, the first Immortal realm monster he would face as a Law realm cultivator."You are small," the lion rumbled. Its voice was like grinding boulders, deep and resonant. "But you carry great power. I can feel it in you. You are more than you appear. Why do you hunt me?""Because I need to be stronger," A
Luminal Court
Energy flooded through Alex like a river breaking through a dam.His star core, which had been dormant at the peak of the Star realm for two years, began to spin. Faster and faster, its rotation pulling in the spiritual energy that saturated the wilderness, drawing it inward, compressing it, transforming it. His Domain started to evolve as he reached the Domain realm but he didn’t stop there but his target this time was to reach the Law realm. He took out the cosmic tube to drink in gulp.Cosmic energy started to expand his domain realm around like a bridge to breakthrough. It took him two days to reach the peak of the Domain realm then he started to put effort toward the Law realm.The laws he had been studying space, fire, life, death coalesced around the core, forming a shell of understanding that was more than physical, more than spiritual. It was conceptual. It was personal. It was the beginning of a domain.The pain was immense. Alex felt his body straining against the transfo
Into the Wilderness
The wilderness zone stretched before Alex like a wound in the world.He had left the palace four months ago with nothing but his sword, his armor, and a determination that bordered on obsession. The Beast God trial was still years away, but Alex knew with the cold certainty of a warrior who had learned to measure his own strength that he wasn't ready. He needed to be stronger. He needed to understand law at a level that couldn't be taught in training halls or university lecture rooms. He needed to push himself to the edge of death and beyond, again and again, until his body and his spirit were forged into something unbreakable.So he had walked into the wilderness, and he had not looked back.The first months were the hardest. Not because of the monsters Alex had been killing monsters since he was a teenager, but because the creatures of the outer zone were manageable for someone of his strength. No, the hardest part was the solitude. Four months without seeing another human face. F
