How would you feel if the last thing before you lost consciousness was your fall?

It feels like you know you are in danger, but you can’t do anything about it except embrace the helplessness.

When I woke up, it felt like I had done a full day of military training. Every muscle in my body was in pain and screaming for me to rest.

However, I can’t afford to rest right now. I don’t know where I fell and how deep this place is.

Also, it doesn’t seem like I was injured from the fall; however, my clothes are all wet. It looks like I fell into some sort of underground water source.

Well, it is good, nevertheless. Because water absorbed the impact of my fall, I didn’t have any injuries. Moreover, this place is warm, which makes the possibility of hypothermia very low.

The injuries from my previous fight have also healed completely; it looks like I slept for at least three hours.

Then, I started to observe my surroundings.

It seems I am in some sort of a cave. The ceiling is 10.7 meters high, and its width is 5.3 meters. There are flowers scattered around the cave, but the thing is, they are emitting a grey light.

It gives a vibe that I am walking under the moon near the lake. There is a stream of water flowing deep inside the cave, which is probably the reason why I drifted here.

As a whole, this place gives me a unique feeling. It feels like something deep inside is calling me, but it doesn't emit any pressure. And by the looks of it, I can’t go back because I can hear the sound of dripping water, which indicates that there is a waterfall behind.

With that conclusion, I started to walk deep inside the cave. But this time, I am on high guard in case something ambushes me here.

While I walked, I didn’t forget to observe my surroundings. There are engravings of people worshipping something. But the place where the thing they worship is blank, or should I say replaced with an empty block.

The wall looks like a mural, and this place doesn’t seem like a natural cave. It feels like someone deliberately made the ceiling and environment look natural.

While thinking like that, I finally managed to reach the end of the cave, but wow, just wow.

This place is so beautiful.

Let me remind you that my sense of beauty is a bit twisted, and because of the trait [Perfectionist], I can’t accept even a tiny bit of mistake while appreciating beauty. And, because of the [Geometric Eyesight], it is tough for me not to find any mistake in something.

However, the scenery in front of me is breathtaking. There is not anything asymmetric or any color contradiction, and everything is a work of art.

“Welcome, oh my lonely child.”

I heard someone calling me with a divine feminine voice inside my head.

It seems there is some sort of deity living here. I hope I haven’t looked rude and offended her somehow.

“I pay my respects to the mighty one, my I know what your name is?”

With a respective tone, I decided not to make this deity any longer.

“No need to be this respectful. I am nothing like a deity but a sunken ship.”

She says with sadness all over her voice.

What does that mean? I can’t figure out what this person thinks right now.

“What should I call you then?”

I asked.

“You can call me ‘Selene’.”

It looks like she hasn’t talked with anyone for a long time since she even forgot to introduce herself. Or it might be an act to lower my guard. I should be cautious and carefully analyze everything she says.

“No need to be this paranoid. Don’t worry. I am not your enemy, and I don’t mean any harm.’

It seems like she can read my thoughts to a subtle extent.

<The initiative for the connection to the host’s mind from an undefined source is detected.>

<Trait [????] is active.>

<Connection blocked.>

Well, looks like this doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. However, this could be dangerous, and if I have relatively essential thoughts in my head before this trait is activated, I could lose some important information.

“It seems you are not that simple, different from how you look. This is good. At the very least, I finally managed to end my duty in this place. I sincerely thank you for coming here and freeing me from these chains called missions.”

She says with a sincere heart. But I am a bit confused. What was that supposed to mean?

“What do you mean by that, and where are you going?”

I decided to ask.

“You will get your answers after a while. You shall be patient and not rush anything in your life. Your destiny is not simple, and you have a very thorny road ahead, and only you can overcome your destiny. But, I shall leave now, and don’t forget.

 ‘When everything goes into the darkness, it is the moon that spreads light over the night.’. I hope you don’t lose your light at the end of your path, oh my lonely child.”

After saying that and leaving me with more questions than answers, she, with a shiny white pillar piercing through the heavens, left.

However, before she started ascending, I saw a glimpse of her.

With long slender, platinum hair, incredibly elegant facial features, lips red like a rose, and black eyes that could make anyone in the world lost in them, she was by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

I almost lost my composure and began running at her, but I stopped and watched her fade into the pillar.

“-lios.”

Before she left, I saw her muttering something but was only able to understand the last part.

With that, she left, and everything around me started to collapse. In the center of the place, there was a portal, and immediately without even thinking for a second, I started to run to the gate and passed through it immediately.

After passing through the portal, I found myself in a place which resembles the Ancient Greek Cities’ architecture.

There are several enormous marmoreal buildings everywhere.

And I am on a circular platform, which has no connections with anything.

It looks like I am in some sort of fighting ring.

“You shall survive.”

With an intimidating male voice, someone called out to me.

It looks like I was right on that assumption since, in front of me, there is a gladiator…

  • First Lesson 2

    No matter where you are, listening to a lecture that you know about is always boring.Since I had already studied those things beforehand for the entrance exam, that was basically boring. However, it is still the attitude that makes the change.If you are aiming for a good future where you are improving yourself, listening to others, no matter how knowledgeable you are, is a very important thing.That was the reason why I was still trying to listen to the boring lecture even though I was on the verge of sleeping.“Now, let’s talk about affinities. Anyone who wants to explain what affinity is?”Asking the question, Miss Delfina turned her attention toward the classroom.“No one? Then, Student Darius. Can you answer?”Looking into my eyes, she asked with a curious tone.“Affinity is basically the type of mana generated by the person’s own body, which is decided from birth. It is defined as the identity of the person’s will at the time of birth, and according to the affinity, one can com

  • Practical Lesson

    [Darius, can you come to the sparring rings? Things may get messy here.]Seeing the message coming from Hannah, I made my way toward the sparring areas in the middle of the training grounds.Since there are those that like to spar with each other, the academy made an arena in the middle of the training grounds for those who wished to do so.And those four were headed there, too, to spar with each other.With my eyes open, looking around, I made my way there.“Hey, leave me alone.”“Come on. We just want a friendly spar here.”“We don’t want to.”“Heh? Are you scared of us?”“What?”“Just as I said before, I just wanted to have a friendly meal with you. We didn’t want anything else, right guys?”“Yes, yes. We just wanted to have a chat with you. Who would have thought you would refuse us like that? We are embarrassed, you know.”“So what? It is not like we needed to accept your invitation. Don’t you understand this…. We. Don’t. Like. You and your group. Leave us alone. I don’t have muc

  • First Lesson

    Waking up early in the morning, I got up from bed and grabbed a morning drink.Yesterday, seeing the training wasn’t that effective just by running around, I ordered a bunch of weighted bracelets to harden the difficulty.Since they were yet to arrive, I just ran around for a while.Today is the day when the classes will start, so some of the students have already started their training.Returning back to my room, I trained with my sword for a while and took a shower to get ready for the class.Putting my clothes on, I left the room and started walking towards the class.Since Hannah is in Class A, she has her own place to attend classes. She messaged me yesterday, saying she had made some new friends from her class.It is pretty normal, considering she is already a friendly person, but still being a commoner might bring trouble, so I will be vigilant.When I left my room, I saw a pink-haired girl waiting in front of the dorm building.‘Hmmm?’Seeing me coming, she turned her head tow

  • Saintess Candidate 2

    Once there was a girl that was trying her best to survive in the harsh world.She was a girl with no parents, no one to rely on, and no one to get help from.Ever since she could remember, she was always alone.Those who live in a warm house with warm meals and warm baths would not understand the difficulty of life for those who don’t have anything to rely on.Alicia Lincoln was such a girl.Abandoned at birth, trying to survive on the streets, she was always alone.It was cold. It was hard. Her head was spinning. Her vision was being lost; her stomach was empty. She was slowly dying, mixing in the crowd of yet another dead oppressed.At the age of seven, an old couple found her on the streets starving and gave her a meal and a warm place to live.However, life kept being harsh to her.That old couple later died at the hands of a disease, leaving her alone in this world again.But this time, she wanted to stay strong.She wanted to be a good person to help others, just like that old c

  • Saintess Candidate

    Of course, when the term ‘noble’ is established in a world setting, that means there will be discrimination.It is how it is.In the first place, the fact that there are different segments of statues that comes from birth itself without achieving anything is a discriminative thing.And when there is discrimination, there are bound to be some dogs who think they own everything, like they are the ones that deserve all of the good things in this world.Elitism.This is what we call those types of actions.And elitist faction.Those are the ones that think blood matters.To be honest, it is a pretty cliched setting. However, the game has it, so it is what it is.And they are the ones that I didn’t like in the game most.Because they have some sort of ego that clouds their judgment, they can’t see the bigger picture.The danger is approaching, and the continent is reaching its end of safe days. This is pretty obvious from the increased rates of higher-rank gates appearing.Then, what shoul

  • After the Exam

    After getting out of the shower, I started putting on the uniform that was delivered to me just now.‘As expected, magic is convenient, huh?’‘They are using spatial manipulation for deliveries.’Thinking that I finished putting on my clothes.A blue colored jacket, underneath a shirt and pants. On my collar, there is an ornament showing I am a member of the S-class—a normal type of uniform, I can say.However, there is a catch. Being the world’s best academy, the uniform is also a good one, differing from normal clothes.It has the function of changing shapes according to the lessons, cleaning students, and, most importantly, protecting the user from a lethal attack up to the A-Rank for once.That is basically what the uniform does.Anyway, putting everything on me and doing my hair, I left the room with my elevator.Getting outside, a calm breeze passed through me again, but this time being a lot warmer.Slowly making my way to the orientation gathering, I reached a huge stadium.An
