“The heavens have eyes! They have not abandoned my family!” The Emperor stood up and roared with laughter. James and Peter, Lionel’s two older brothers, had wry smiles on their faces, while Lionel’s face was deathly pale. The third test had ended, and the results had been spectacular. Darius had once again single-handedly dealt with a spirit in a most …

Morgan Draxler was one of the foremost Spiritsmiths in existence, but his life was dry. Everyday seemed bleaker than the previous one. His search for a true disciple had turned up nothing. Everyday he woke up, the flames of his ambition further withered under the grinding beneath the sands of time. He was an old man now, and like most …

The basic premise seemed simple enough: kill your opponent before they killed you, yet the truth was that actually fulfilling the idea was far from simple. “Princess, throw me one of your swords! Hurry!” Darius bellowed as he readied himself. Lara heard the boy as she had put down her hands, exposing her ears once again. The worm had stopped …

“What did I ever do to deserve this?” Darius screamed as he ran at full throttle away from the monstrosity chasing him. It was a spirit that looked like an earthworm, with its mouth’s circumference covered in sharp teeth. This mouth was actually just an opening at the front of the worm while the teeth acted as drills, allowing it …

The third exam was similar to the previous one. The duo was dropped in a seemingly random location without any information on what to do. Under such circumstances, it was clear that they only had to dispatch their enemies to pass. As the heir to the emperor, all Lara had to do was pass three tests, and she would qualify …

The soil on which one plants a tree is a determining factor on how much the plant will grow. The same applied to Spiritknights, with the first skill they gained being the ‘soil.’ If one had a high-class ability as their foundational ability, one’s future was limitless.   “Glory level Indomitable as a foundational ability. Sigh, even I am now …

Now, let’s move back toward the present. While Darius was having his discussion with the old man, Kylian and Donald were having one of their own in a lobby.   As the duo was of esteemed status, their rooms were actually suites provided with many amenities and a lot of space.   The duo sat opposite one another, each one …

Let’s rewind time a bit to just before the second exam started. The location to be examined is a private viewing room overlooking the exam. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yet it is always still dependent on who the beholden is. Currently,  there was a certain man, if it would be appropriate to even call …

“There isn’t much to say about the place. What matters was the way I lived there.” The elder perked his ears as his eyes shone with a child-like glimmer. Darius had stoked the elder’s curiosity quite well. Darius was far from ordinary, so a tale of his beginnings was well worth his time. “I was too handsome; thus, the others …

Darius could not comprehend what the old man had just told him. He had broken the curse? The very notion of it was absurd. Darius knew quite well what the conditions were for breaking the curse, and he knew well enough to know that he had not achieved what was required. The old man saw Darius’s confusion and sighed.   …
