I just wanted to test Roland’s ability to track down people, I don’t actually would want him to fight off against Zikk. Although Roland has improved a lot, he is still a far cry away from reaching Zikk’s power levels. "Emmanuel, Lily, and Theo!" I called out, my voice resonating with authority and expectation."Yes, my lord," they replied in unison, their voices tinged with a mix of reverence and nervousness."Have you etched the intricate patterns of the magic circle into your minds?" I thundered, my words carrying a weight of urgency and intensity.The trio of young apprentices shrank back slightly, their hands instinctively finding refuge behind their backs, a gesture of respect and readiness. Their eyes, wide with a blend of determination and apprehension, locked onto mine, unable to form words under the weight of my gaze.Silence enveloped us, thick with the unspoken challenge and the unyielding demand for perfection in their training. A chuckle escaped my lips as I observed t
"We'll be back by evening!" they chorused, their voices filled with gratitude and excitement, as they set out to experience the wonders of Sapphire City.Roland, a muscular man, stood before me with a determined gaze. His words echoed with unwavering loyalty, "I will follow you, My lord." Yet, as he spoke, a subtle tremor betrayed his nerves, hinting at the weight of his decision.I observed him closely, noting the contrast between his imposing physique and his apparent disinterest in the arcane arts. Unlike the three young apprentices, Roland seemed drawn to a different path, one that resonated with my own summon, Dray. It was as if these muscular souls shared an unspoken kinship, a bond forged through their shared preference for physical prowess over magical might.A chuckle escaped my lips as I contemplated the irony of their similarities."Roland, have you no desire to explore this enchanting city?" I inquired, my voice tinged with excitement at the magical possibilities that surr
As the children immersed themselves in their scholarly discussion, unaware of their surroundings, a presence materialized behind them, drawn by their intense focus and the intriguing objects they examined.A gentle, feminine voice broke the children's concentration, causing them to start in surprise. "Children," the voice spoke, and the trio realized with a jolt that someone had silently approached them.Instinctively, they scurried away, putting a few meters between themselves and the mysterious figure. Lily, her voice tinged with indignation, pointed an accusing finger at the newcomer. "You stalker!" she cried out.Undeterred, the figure spoke once more, and to the children's astonishment, it materialized beside them once again. "May I take a look at that?" the voice inquired, its tone polite and curious.The trio found themselves confronted by this enigmatic presence, unsure of how to respond to such a direct request. The figure's ability to seemingly teleport had left them unnerve
"Who... who drew this magic circle?" she demanded, her voice trembling with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The children's efforts to break free from the ice proved futile, and after a few minutes of struggle, they gazed at each other with a mixture of frustration and resignation. The lady's attention, however, remained fixed on the scroll, her eyes shining with an unbridled excitement."Tell me!" she demanded, her voice rising in anticipation. "Who drew this magic circle?" The scroll now held mere inches from Emmanuel's face, seemed to be the focal point of her entire being.The woman's words were cut short as her eyes widened in stunned disbelief. While her focus had been entirely consumed by the captivating magic scroll, Emmanuel had seized the opportunity to take decisive action.In a swift, unexpected move, the young boy had snatched the scroll with his mouth, and before the woman could react, he had swallowed it whole, the precious artefact disappearing down his throat
The children, trapped and powerless, could only watch in horror as their brother's blood stained the ground, their own bodies still held in the grip of the invisible force that rendered them immobile"Maybe I should have aimed for the thigh, that might be more painful, right?" Lucifer mused aloud, his voice dripping with a cold, calculating detachment. He was just about to unleash another spell when he sensed a subtle disturbance in the mana surrounding him."Ah, little sister, you've really become proficient in magic," he said, his tone tinged with a mixture of surprise and admiration. "It didn't take more than a few minutes to break free from an A-rank spell. At this rate, won't you surpass me soon?" Lucifer's chuckle was a menacing, mirthless sound that sent shivers down the spines of the children.But before he could continue, a voice cut through the air, its tone a stark contrast to Lucifer's cold, calculating demeanor. "Stop right now!" Sia's face was a picture of fury, her eyes
"I will make whoever did this to you pay, it doesn't matter who he is," I said, my voice calm and resolute, as I gazed at Emmanuel and the two children.Emmanuel, still shaken by the events, began to recount the full story, his words tumbling out in a rush of emotion. As he spoke, I listened intently, my anger and frustration growing with each passing moment.Oh, how I longed to lay my hands on the perpetrator and make him suffer. I would ensure that he begged for mercy, that he would wish for death itself to end his torment.But I knew I had to keep my emotions in check. My demonic aura, sensing my turmoil, began to stir, threatening to break free from its restraints. I focused my will, drawing upon the demonic power that lay within me. Slowly, I managed to regain control, the dark energy receding back into the depths of my being."A mage, you said, with silver hair, silver brows, and even silver eyes?" I muttered to myself, my mind racing with the description. It was a peculiar comb
I lost all my senses as I was enveloped in the terrifying darkness. I felt as if I was separated from everything I had a connection with, the material world, my senses. Trying to remember what happened to me, but all I could remember was that I died and found myself in a strange place before everything became filled with darkness. Yes, I remember one more thing. The voice I heard before being enveloped in darkness was saying something about some system activating. While I was dwelling in these thoughts, sounds began to come in from all directions and just as it reaches me, I hear a voice. [System Activation Successful] [Status] [Level:1] Is this what I think it is..... [Stats] HP: 50 DEF: 15 ATK: 9 [Other stats are locked] Holy shit! So if I am correct, I just got reincarnated into some world with a system. Does this mean I am some hero with OP skills like in those novels I read!?
I saw it, something I never would have wanted to see.A beast that I have seen in the games I have played. The epitome of strength, brutality and madness.Orcs.It made me come to the reality that the world I am in now is not Earth anymore. All this time I was still going easy with everything treating it as if I am in some game.The wolflike beast that I saw earlier is being held in one of its arms as it uses the other to tear it in half. Just to remind you, the wolflike beast is at least 3 times larger than me, but it wasn't even worth comparing to that Orc.I thought that Orcs were at least twice the size of a human but the one I am seeing right now is easily 5 times the size. that also makes me realize how gigantic this place is. Even though the Orc is almost 15m in height, it doesn't even reach half the length of this place from the ground to the ceiling.Does this mean that there are monsters or beast that is larger than the Orc in fron
