Chapter 25: Breaking the Curse

“Yes, I did, but that’s not why I am here.”   Being the wary person he was, Darius did not take kindly to the fact that an old man he did not know could just randomly barge into his room like this. However, nothing was more important than his life, so he put all his thoughts aside and quickly put …

Chapter 24: Killing the Snake

Darius was no hot-blooded fool. On the contrary, he was quite the cowardly young man. A certain individual had noticed this aspect in the young man and sought to rectify it, resulting in the young man completely letting go by becoming Indomitable. Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum Darius could hear his heart beating… Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum … like a war drum inciting …

Chapter 23: The Old Man

Four steps, each with 3 stars resulted in a total of 12 sub-levels. These were the distinguishing power levels of a Spiritknight. What determined the star you were at was the amount and quality of Dantians you had absorbed. Take Darius, for example. He had absorbed two Dantians, so technically he would be a second-star Spiritknight of the first step. …

Chapter 22: Old Jaeger

In a place far, far away from the Northeast Province, a dirty man sat atop a giant silhouette.  From afar, the silhouette looked like a disfigured mountain, thousands of meters high. The man sported a brown cloak; a disheveled beard covered most of his exposed face. He wore goggles across his forehead and smoked a cigarette while he sat, calmly …

Chapter 21: Indomitable

Darius once again experienced the fleeting sensation of molecules transferred from one place to the other. Lara appeared beside him. “Clearly, these next trials are just for us,” She said as she looked around their surroundings. Since their rankings for the previous tests had been equal, Lara and Darius would take the exact same ones for the next sections. For …

Chapter 20: Cultivation

 Darius and Lara stood in a wide, empty space. They were unsure of what to do next. The arena took up the entire ground floor of the academy. It had to be that large in order to handle the large formations used for the noble exams and other complex exercises. The cave, forest, and orange sphere were gone. All that …

Chapter 19: Bringing the Hammer Down

Its segmented shell was so tough that no matter how hard he hit it, he barely made a dent. Instead, he staggered from the recoil of his own attacks. “When I said do something, I meant something more along the lines of shutting up. It’s useless. The armor’s too tough. I, and, I hope, you, are well aware of how …

Chapter 18: Be a Man!

“There!” she shouted to Darius who followed behind her. She wasn’t sure if this would work, but she had to try. In the exact same moment that they ran into the cave, another crack followed by an explosive blast destroyed everything in the immediate area. The lush green forest instantly transformed into a scorched barren desert. The cave was deep …

Chapter 17: Shrimp?

Now, the whole royal family held their breaths, wondering if he had survived the waterfall. After ten minutes, just as they thought he was dead, Darius emerged from the water, panting as he clambered onto the river banker, much to Lionel’s dismay. Exhausted and out of breath, he was met by an entire troop of spirits waiting for him. The …

Chapter 16: First Kill

Darius found himself alone in a forest. His heart beating so fast and hard that it was about to burst from his chest. His senses worked in overdrive as he flinched at the slightest of sounds. His eyes darted back and forth, warily watching for any movements. With every passing second, his grip on his hammer intensified. He could barely …
