Level One Solo Novels & Stories

“We build Level 1 first.” The words settled into the room. Not Level 100. Not a full master branch. Not some impossible pinnacle that only mythic bloodlines could reach. Level 1. The beginning. Kayo leaned back in her chair with her ankle hooked over the opposite knee. “That feels suspiciously sensible.” Remy, standing near the side wall with Aki and Riku, made a face. “Don’t compliment it too much. She’ll hear you.” “I already did,” Celeste said.

The kitchen stops abruptly as I hear Mira scold. "Chey...I see a shoe." They are silent for a moment, before Mira speaks again. "Hello? Hello. Who are you? Do you need help? Hello!" I smirk before I drag my claws along the bottom of the door. Frustrated that I can't see her face, I throw the body into the door again with such force the door cracks open. I cannot enter but I can hear the erratic thrumming of the little hearts on the other side.

“One of you will play as the blindfolded person, listening to instructions from the other. A single team against the others.” “Sir…” “I don’t want to hear the excuses, Bennett.” Coach cuts me off with a glare at the end. Once the game starts, it’s obvious we have no rhythm whatsoever. Mainly because I refuse to believe any word coming out of Noah’s mouth which means I’m either slamming my body into someone or shooting the puck at random places. It’s a disaster.

The way even silence had patterns inside it. Nothing was random anymore. Not even confusion. Raven noticed it first in the way the perimeter lights adjusted themselves without instruction. “It’s self-correcting faster,” she said, eyes scanning the horizon. “Like it already knows what we’d tell it to do.” Lucian hovered low this time, less playful than usual. “Or it’s stopped needing us to tell it anything.” Kael didn’t look away from his interface. “It’s not that it stopped needing us.” A pause.

I don’t wait for a reply. The forest ahead looms like a wall—dark, vast, and humming with unseen life. I shake my head and tap my wristband. A holographic map flickers to life, casting a pale blue glow on my hands. Icons mark the nearest Level 1 and Level 2 monsters. A horde of Level 1s is already moving toward the shore, just a few minutes to my right. ‘Warm up with the goblins on your way in. You’ll need it.’

I scoffed, knowing it was all a bluff. The instructor turned his head to the rank of students and called out one of them who looked quite small and bulky. "Lisa! You'll be competing against this person In our Presence. He is a level one trainee and I expect you to floor him down effortlessly…" He announced while the young man ran forward with his sword clasped in his hand.

Now that was a straight A' and he sure deserved it, it was because of him that the team remained together. Nex's LEVEL 1:Responsibility: 89%, exceptional self-defense skills 80% attack skills 99% emotional mastery 80% respect 50% honor 90% discipline 99% courage 99%. He only scoffed at his scores, his father would have just manipulated them and given him straight A's just like Linthorn. He got a very low C in respect, how on Omania was he supposed to respect his team mates when he was the leader. This will affect his boosting in this new level badly, but he still awaited the reward for the first team that got to the bridge and followed the light because he was certain it was his.

“Might as well just put her name on all his paperwork. He clearly won’t let anyone tame him but those girls. Well, do you want to go take care of our problem while they are occupied? It’s been a few days now, she is bound to start questioning while there are men at the old building soon.” “Yeah,” Daemon nodded. “We can’t draw it out like we normally do, they won’t have very long lessons with Little One.” They strolled over to the old building and the two men standing guard moved. “Go find a place,” Daemon growled and they nodded then walked off.

Dyna noticed Sophia's silence and asked again, "Soph, what level are you?" Sophia narrowed her eyes and gave her a gentle smile, "I'm level 108." "What?" Dyna was so shocked that she almost spit out the drink she had just taken in. "You're level 108? There's no level 108 in Peak, right?" Sophia looked at her seriously, "There is, as of last night." "Really? Are you level 108?" "Of course." Dyna couldn't believe it, "I don't believe it. I have to see it."

“As of right now, you are all on level one. If you win your match then you advance to level two and that is how it goes for the next three weeks. Am I clear?” There was a chorus of yes sir and he called up the first set. Thankfully, I was the last person to get onto the mat. I had watched everyone prior match with rapt interest and attention. There were some fierce fighters here. I had barely gotten into my stance before she attacked me. She knocked me off my feet immediately and I was barely able to push her off before she landed a punch right by my ear. I realized she was very aggressive and was trying to end the fight as quickly as possible but it also made her sloppy. My goal was to tire
