《The Sin of Power》


 CHAIN HIT - 1

    A star hanging in the air was standing deep in the universe with infinite darkness in the ever expanding core.


    It was as if the star had taken its color from the darkness of the universe.


    A dark black ball...


    Not a bit of light was coming out.


    There was a meteor ring around the planet.


    Seen from a distance, it looked like thin threads.


    Inside the planet, there was an entity that was chained.


    It didn''t seem to have a body. It just seemed like a constantly fluctuating silhouette.


    It felt like it was bending space.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    When looked at, it was an evil that you would forget to even breathe.


    But even it was breaking through those chains where it was shot. It was completely helpless.


    Smell, see, hear, feel, taste...


    All these feelings were lost in the darkness.


    "Huh? It did not come to renew its seal."


    It was talking, but he was incapable of hearing itself speak. Sometimes it wasn''t even sure it was talking.


    At that moment there was an endless fluctuation in infinite space and a shock tsunami hit the entire universe.


    The whole universe, including the dark planet, shook and shook.


    Even if the planet''s color didn''t change, the tremor was enough to disperse the dark fog inside.


    Silhouette slowly opened its eyes, and it began to get it senses after a long time.


    The only thing that came into its sight was that it was in a large arid. The entire planet seemed to be just arid land.


    Life was over a long time ago. Maybe it never happened.


    "It doesn''t look normal. It was never late."


    It gave no emotion, even when, with a simple gesture, it got rid of the chains which held it and stood up.


    It looked at itself slowly and saw the fluctuations in its body.


    "My body couldn''t stand it."


    It began to move in the arid land with gentle steps.


    As it walked, it thought why sealing was not constantly renewed. It said the same thing over and over, even though it said it many times.


    "It doesn''t look normal."


    After it walked a little longer, it realized the couldn''t find anything and decided to leave this planet.


    "I''ll hide for now."


    It gently waved his finger and opened a dark passage beside its. A madness appeared on its face as deteriorated body slowly drew into the passage.


    "WE''LL PAY SOME DAY!"


    Those were its last words before it was sucked into the gate.

 The day of destiny - 2

    <div>


    <div>


    <div>


    It was early in the morning when the annoying sound of the warning stone filled the room and Aceia stood up.


    Today was a crucial morning for him and his peers.


    He was finally 14 years old and was going to take his school-grade test to reap the benefits of his early childhood education.


    Aceia had never believed he was a genius, but this never intimidated his and he always kept working at full speed.


    If he went to a mid-level academy of magic, even if he wasn''t a genius, with the best of his ability, he would be qualified to support his family in the future.


    The test of his readings at the school was a superstone measuring the kind of wizardry the candidates were prone to.


    The working mechanism is to quickly finish the measurement by putting the person to the test in his or her own mind within seconds.


    It tells you you''re prone to defense, aggression or other martial arts.


    But that''s not all he has. It will tell you about the element you''re prone to.


    It finally brings all the results together, giving you an overall level of evaluation.

    three series in Phase 1.


    Individuals with "S" Levels and up are rarely seen.


    The sad thing is that the level isn''t going to get very high.


    Level D may be a level C with a lot of experience in war, but that''s the limit of that person, it can''t go up any higher.


    In short, everyone must accept the fate of this measurement and look ahead.


    Aceia, like many other children, had been preparing herself mentally for this day for a very long time.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    "Maybe I¡¯ll get a C level, I worked a lot."


    Aceia was very diligent, but there were times when luck did not smile at him.He was quite mediocre in his element skills. He was trying to make up for his shortcomings by training his body, and in his class he became a complete joke.


    Even though he had an irrevocable will, he was still a child, and at times his heart was broken. He envied his other friends.


    He slapped two slaps on the face and nodded swiftly and went to the sink to wash his face.


    He looked at himself in the mirror opposite him after the water he hit in his face.


    His long and difficult body training gave him a pretty good-looking muscle.


    His face wasn''t perfect, but he wasn''t bad either. His slightly black hair gave her a funny look, stuck to his face with leaping water while he was washing his face.


    His green eyes were pretty bright and deep. It gave him a nice look on his white skin.


    He went out of the sink and picked up the phone to look for Martin. They agreed to go to school together.


    Martin was one of Aceia''s rare friends. Whenever he was made fun of Aceia in school, he would defend his and always be there for him.


    Unlike Aceia''s mediocre abilities, Martin was a genius. He was able to control a lot of elemental skills and stand out in class.


    The only thing that Aceia was superior to was the sight of his body''s muscle mass.


    It''s just his appearance because Martin didn''t need his muscle mass to be strong.


    Despite the difference between them, they were good friends.


    Not long after Aceia was ready, Martin arrived and the two made their way to school together.


    "Which academy do you intend to go to, Martin?"


    Even though levels were not yet determined, Aceia could not take it and asked.


    After all, Aceia knew he was a genius. It''s likely he''ll be able to go anywhere he wants.


    "I want to go to Sun Academy. It is a very distinguished Academy in our region and its students are very powerful."


    He thought it was as expected from a genius, Aceia.


    "And you? Do you have a goal?"


    He raised her head and thought.


    "I am not as talented as you. I''m incompetent to target an elite academy. I want to be placed at the best academy I can possibly enter according to my level."


    That was really Aceia''s plan. Hope always exists, but it doesn''t require being stupid.


    Distinguished academies were too far away for him. He''d already accepted it. He wanted the best of his choices.


    "I love your vigilance, brother."


    Aware of the situation, Martin slipped slightly to say nothing wrong and they chatted and arrived in front of the school.


    The school was very crowded and there was a distinct smell of stress in the air.


    Some students were crying, while others were just watching. Everyone was in different moods.


    After a short wait, the space was a bit full and a onstage attendant appeared.


    "Everyone knows what you''re here for today. Send the person whose name has been announced to the area he was told. Then you will have the choice of academic departments and lose your ties to the school by getting your graduate diploma."


    Following the official''s landing, the names were announced quickly and clearly.


    The students were not speaking because they feared they would not be able to hear their names, and the area that had just been muted was now in the silence of death.


    Likewise, Aceia was ear-struck and expected to hear his own from the passing sounds.

    Aceia Aka District 7


    Aceia, who heard his name, went to the site marked as 7th arrondissement without being too busy.


    There was a man there in a suit who looked quite handsome.


    "Aceia, when you put your hand in the stone, don''t panic and be as comfortable as possible. You''re going to be forced into some kind of trance, and being stressed only slows the measurement. I''ll give you the registration card after the test, and you''ll deliver it to the staff at the end of the road. They''ll give you a list of academies that accept you. Tell me when you''re ready and put your hand on the stone. You have a safe journey."


    Aceia listened carefully to the explanation of the man in the suit. There was no luxury of making mistakes at such an important stage.


    "Thank you, sir. I''m ready, we can begin."


    Aceia extends his hand toward the stone which is cyan and beautiful. As his hand approached, he could feel his consciousness slowly receding.


    Time was slowing down and almost stopped. The moment he felt his hand touch the stone, he was swallowed by the dark side.

 Dangerous Decision - 3

    "Hey, are you okay?"


    There were some noises coming from very deep.


    He wanted to talk, but he couldn''t make a sound.


    "Hey, you!"


    The sounds became clear after a small ringing and Aceia felt his body shake.


    He opened his eyes and suddenly saw the man he was talking to shake him.


    "Well, well... what exactly happened?"


    He mumbled something while trying to understand what had happened.


    "This is how the level gauge works. I told you."


    After a short transit, Aceia rounded up his mind and remembered again what he had come here for.


    "Oh, that''s right! What''s my conclusion?"


    He was excited and waiting for the result.


    He was waiting for the attendant''s speech with glowing eyes.


    The guard, on the other hand, missed his eyes after a quick glance at Aceia.


    "The meter said that you were a level C close-range technical combat. He also measured levels of elemental skill as E. But what''s really interesting is that the part of your predisposed element shows nothing. I don''t think you''re capable of any element, son. Fate sometimes wants to deter us. Don''t give up."


    In an instant he analysed the situation and squeezed the card with the results into his hand, and directed Aceia to go quickly to the back area. He obviously didn''t want to talk to Aceia much.


    Aceia has a sour smile on his face.


    He had worked hard, but he knew deeply that he was not talented. Still, he couldn''t help but hope.


    With that puckered smile on his face he slowly made his way to the back area, where there were different guards waiting for him, as the previous officer had mentioned.


    He went up to them and handed out his card without talking too much. He didn''t want to hang around here anymore.


    Her level was pretty bad, and he didn''t even have to look at the academies to get him.It was all going to be garbage.


    When the guard examined the card, he burst into laughter when he saw that he was not prone to elements.


    "We''re not here to make fun of students. Our duty is to guide them in their selection for the academy."


    When the sarcastic saw this person, he straightened his statement quickly, and bent his head to apologise to Aceia.


    "Come with me."


    He told her to follow him, but no longer interested in them, turned around and went on.


    Aceia thought this guy was one of the people here, so he went after him without thinking too much.


    After walking for a while, the man brought him to a field and turned around and looked Aceia in the eyes.


    "Hi Aceia, my name is Lee. I''ve looked through your card and I''m going to recommend an academy. You should listen to me because this is going to determine how the life of speech will be shaped in the future."The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    "First of all, your elemental skill level is so bad that you''re not even apt to any element. That''s why you won''t be accepted by magic-based academies. Those who do will not help you."


    ¡°Your wariness is much better than your Elemental ability. It would be much better for you to go over a close-range technical fight. But your level of close fighting is not too high, so I have a perfect academy offer for you."


    Aceia was surprised to hear Lee''s speech. He was thinking about how he could find me a good academy by throwing me in my face with all this junk.


    "Senior Lee, what''s the name of the academy you''re proposing?"


    Aceia agreed with everything Lee said. It was a natural waste of magic. He believed that if he could at least master martial arts, he could become a good warrior in the future.


    "Vuxena Academy. There''s no better choice for you. This academy is based on the laws of forests. Everyone can study at this academy, regardless of their level. Student dying is a simple thing for the academy. If you want to get stronger, the best risk you can take is going to this academy. Confronting death over and over will empower even a low-level student like you."


    Aceia had already heard of the Vuxena Academy but didn¡¯t know it was such a cruel academy. It was an important decision stage for him.


    He could have made his living in this school and become stronger if he won the bet.


    He could take his life in this school and die if he gambled.


    Aceia thought. If he went to an academy that he couldn''t improve, he''d stay low in this world''s system and be crushed for life. He can''t support his family, maybe they''ll be slaves to others.


    In a world where power is so important, powerlessness was even worse than death.


    Actually, Lee made the decision the moment he told him about school. He just wanted to make himself a little more comfortable. Even if he lived in a world dominated by power, it wasn''t easy for a 14 year-old to make a living.


    "I have made my decision, Senior Lee. How do I complete my registration?"


    Aceia decided there was no point in thinking any further. He wanted to get things done quickly. He feared his longing for power would diminish as he lengthened the process.


    "Come back to school tomorrow. I''ll be waiting for you here. We''ll reach the academy together using teleportation portal. They will complete their registration there."


    Aceia thought there was something interesting about it.


    ¡°Senior Lee, can''t the enrollment process be done with certain signatures and approvals? Why are you trying so hard for me?"


    Upon the question of Aceia, senior Lee burst out a loud laugh and looked Aceia in the eye.


    Aceia felt like he was dying under those looks, but he still insisted on not missing his look.


    "Every year I come to find students for the Vuxena academy. We''ve had a very low number of students at school recently. You know, the competition is huge."


    Aceia instantly understood the implication behind these words. If he''s coming to find students for the Vuxena Academy, he must be one of the staff of the Senior Lee academy.


    But how sensible it was to intimidate students with frightening innuendo. Aceia couldn''t make sense of it.


    "Senior Lee Academ..."


    "Be here tomorrow."


    Aceia was going to ask about Senior Lee''s assignment at the academy, but he acted fast from Senior Lee Aceia and disappeared after a simple order.


    Aceia took a while to find him, but after deciding he couldn''t, he left to find Martin.


    Martin¡¯s name was already read before him. If there was no problem, it should be over now.


    After wandering around the school for a while, Martin finally came into sight. Looks like he was talking to a few seniors. To avoid disturbing them, Aceia stopped within sight of Martin and began to wait.


    After waiting for about 15 minutes, Martin speech was over. As Martin turned around and was about to leave, he saw Aceia waiting for him and came running to him.


    "I succeeded Ace, the seniors at Sun Academy said they would be glad to see me at the academy."


    Even if he didn¡¯t succeed himself, he smiled happily, rejoicing from his friend¡¯s success.


    "Congratulations. I believed you could succeed. And don''t call me that."


    ''Ace'' was the way Martin called him. Aceia hasn''t liked this way of calling since he knew himself, but he had to be tolerated because he used to be his best friend.


    "How was your measurement?"


    The question that Aceia was waiting for finally came up. It was a question he had to face, so he explained it without bending his head.


    "Fair as I expected. My long-body training has paid off just a little bit. But I can''t say the same for my elemental talent. I have decided to go to the Vuxena Academy."


    Martin was listening calmly until Aceia''s last sentence. It was a well-known fact that Aceia''s talent was not great, and it didn''t surprise her.


    But the Vuxena Academy gave him a fortune telling.


    "Aceia, you can''t do this! People are dying in that school; you must have other options."


    Aceia knew that people would oppose this decision.


    He breathed deeply and placed his customary bittersweet smile on his face.


    "I have to get as strong as I can, Martin. I don''t expect you to understand this, but at least understand it."


    When Martin saw the look on his friend''s face, he closed his eyes and, after a two second pause, threw his arm over Aceia''s shoulder.


    "Have a safe journey Ace, I hope you do your best."


    Aceia grabbed his friend''s arm around his shoulder and answered with a smile.


    "You too, Martin. This is a temporary farewell."


    The two friends were leaving for the first time in years. Even though they knew this day would come, the separation was still not easy.


    The two boys walked long distances in opposite directions.


    The breath of Aceia quickly poured into his lungs and yelled with all his might.


    "Don''t call me that again!"


    Martin, with his back turned, stood where he was and looked over his shoulder into his friend''s distant image.


    After a short period of time, one breath burst into a big laugh on both sides and continued on their way.


    When Aceia got home, her sister greeted her.


    "Are you hungry?"


    "I''m pretty hungry, Yuri."


    Yuri was 13 years old and only one year younger than Aceia. She had black hair and green eyes, like her older brother. She was a beautiful looking girl of average height. She was studying at the school that Aceia studied, and she was much more talented than Aceia.Despite the potential differences, they were always a good match.


    "My mother won''t be able to come today, so I''ll make the dinner."


    Their mother had lost her ability because of a past accident, and she was now just like a regular person. She was a nurse at a hospital. Their father left them when they were very young and never came home again.


    Aceia and Yuri fed them with the food they prepared on that day and talked about the future planning of Aceia. As he expected, Yuri challenged the Vuxena Academy idea and said she would tell her mother.


    Aceia made it clear that he would not change his mind and went to his room.


    It was midnight, but Aceia was still up.


    He went to the edge of the window and let the cool air beat him.


    He breathed a little bit and began to think about his future.


    He couldn''t burden the family to look after her.


    He swore that whatever difficulty he faced that night, he would face it.

 A First Look at the Academy -4

    The next day, Aceia came prepared and ready where he wanted senior Lee to come. He said goodbye to the people at home and asked them to respect his decision. Even though his mother was reluctant to do so, his mother inadvertently approved her sister Yuri''s brother when she explained to her that he would not reverse her decision.


    They had a little phone call with Martin and wished each other success in their future lives.


    He looked pretty nervous waiting for the body language. There was no one in the area he was waiting for except Aceia.


    He wondered if they were buying everyone from a different place, Aceia.


    "You''ve come."


    As a sudden sound sprang from behind him, he was relieved to see Senior Lee''s face.


    "Of course, Senior. Haven''t we agreed to that?" So, Aceia.


    And he couldn''t help thinking that if I hadn''t kept my promise to you, you could have caused me trouble.


    "Many people break the promise to get rid of us and enroll quickly in other academies. As a result, we only managed to get one student."


    Aceia deserved other people from within. Not everyone could have had the courage to enter this academy.


    He was also informed by what Senior Lee said as to why this area was empty.


    So this year, he thought, "I''m the only one who chose to attend Vuxena Academy from this school."


    "There''s no need to dawdle so much. Let''s go."


    Since he was afraid that Senior Lee Aceia would escape, he wanted to get things done fast.


    Senior Lee advanced slowly, and after making some hand seals, he cried out and cracked the floor, creating a hole.


    Aceia was admiring what happened. He had an idea of the major teleportation portals, but a hand-sealed portal had never been seen before.


    The portals Aceia knew were those activated by energy stones. These portals were either powerful portals from a very old time or modern short-range portals by forgers.


    Activating portals from ancient times was incredibly expensive and dangerous to use.


    Because the secrets of making the portals were not yet available.


    What Senior Lee did was total uncertainty for Aceia.


    Aceia is a curious child, and that made it very difficult for her to keep his mouth shut.


    "Senior Lee, I have never seen a portal open like this. Can you give us some information?"


    Senior Lee looked over this young man, looking at him with glowing eyes.


    His lips curled up, and he simplified the situation and started to explain it to this curious little one.


    "The history of Vuxena Academy goes back a long way, long way. The magic of ancient times is not matched by the magic of modern times. The Vuxena Academy has always adhered to the ideals of old times and wanted to continue living the thought that the strong one had to crush the weak."


    "But with new approaches modernising, it has become difficult for the Vuxena Academy to hold on. For this reason, many years ago, leading figures from around the world and the leaders of Vuxena Academy sat down to negotiate a deal."


    "According to this agreement, the Vuxena Academy could no longer continue to teach on this territory. They had to move the Academy away from the Earth. But the world''s leading constituents decided to make them an offer because they were afraid the academy would accept this offer."Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road.

    "This was an offer to allow the Academy to accept students from the world. The Academy has already accepted this offer because it understands that they are not welcome here. Then an old veteran of my lineage moved the academy to another place using space-time magic that had long gone missing."


    "To answer the question, I possess the spatial and time magic, which is now believed to be lost because I was of the same lineage as this elder. This is child''s play for me."


    Aceia was listening to his seniors talk with his wide open eyes. He could have been an incompetent and naive boy, but he was never a stupid person. He did not find it very reasonable for the seniority to leave so many questions to the bottom of such narratives.


    "Aceia, I''m afraid once I know all this, I can''t let you back down."


    Senior Lee was looking at Aceia with a slight smile. It was like he was measuring his reaction.


    "I was trying to figure out why you''re uploading so much information all at once. To cut off my escape route. Anyway, I had no such idea." said Aceia.


    Senior Lee didn''t expect Aceia to say those words with an innocent smile. He was still trying to figure out if this kid was trying to be a fool or a genius. Maybe he was too instinctive.


    While I was explaining the situation to Senior Lee Aceia, the portal was already finished.


    "Follow me.¡±


    He gave a simple order and stepped into the portal without looking back. Seeing that he had disappeared so suddenly, Aceia quickly went after him and jumped into the portal.


    His vision darkened for a few seconds, and then the light entering his eyes dwarfed him slightly. When he got his vision back, he saw that he was in a place like heaven. There was a huge plain in front of him.


    Waterfalls, mountains infested by flowers, rivers, and a clean atmosphere.


    "After all I''ve heard about the academy, I''ve been expecting it pretty badly."


    Aceia expressed her honest thoughts. Indeed, this was a hell of an area, just as it was in heaven. he felt pretty shocked.


    "Do you remember the deal I mentioned? We were allowed to take students from the world. But no one said they had to speak well about us. There are true, but unnecessary, exaggerations that we are governed by the laws of the forest."


    Senior Lee made a plain statement to fill the voids in Aceia''s head


    The moment Aceia found out that Senior Lee was moving away from him, he immediately stopped looking around and ran to catch up. He was a little overly enchanted by the environment.


    "When I spoke to my senior family and friend, they didn''t tell me we were going to another dimension."


    Aceia was thinking about it for a while. When he spoke to those close to him, they were just saying that the academy is a bad place. They never said they were going anywhere else.


    "Only we and they know the deal. We have a representative building and space on Earth to keep from learning. That place is managed by our people. Their only job is to give them an Academy image and they are very good at it. It''s a death sentence for both sides to talk about it outside. That''s why I told you about it."


    Aceia reflected deeply on the background of the senior walking in front of him. He really thought he had a right to insist on entering this school or he would die.


    Also, the fact that Senior Lee speaks of death so easily has given him a distress. He knew that the academy was a place of harsh and death, but still, speaking as though it were nothing, it frightened him.


    "Where are we now?"


    Seeing that Senior Lee was very patiently answering his questions, Aceia decided that it would be good to at least have some idea about the Academy. So, he was inadvertently asking the questions in his head.


    Senior Lee answered with the same patience.


    "Would you believe me if I said nowhere? A special area with a very strong space-time technique that has been bent."


    Aceia would probably not believe that there would be such powerful magic in the universe. He felt his horizons widening right now. Maybe this academy isn''t as bad a place as Senior Lee says it is.


    Even though it was bad, Aceia was very happy to know what he had learned.


    He thought, "Man, that''s cool."


    They made their way for a while with Aceia''s questions and Senior Lee''s answers, and eventually they stopped moving when Senior Lee suddenly stopped.


    Senior Lee raised his hand and held it out to the field in front of him. Aceia was watching carefully while trying to figure out what he was trying to do.


    Senior Lee suddenly turned his hand and, after quickly making several seals, he hit the space in front of him. Where the hand struck, an invisible area fluttered and another door opened slowly.


    Aceia watched this scene with astonishment. Invisible door? What more will my eyes see? He thought.


    After the door opened, Senior Lee came in and told Aceia to follow him again.


    Aceia, like the first one, walked in through the door, but it was as blurred in sight. It was like the entrance to a hotel on a Earth that first entered the field of view. It looked quite modern and luxurious.


    "We will do the registration here."


    Aceia nodded slightly, and went after Senior Lee, doing what he was best at doing again. Senior Lee brought him to a female attendant.


    "I¡¯m here for the registration of Aceia Aka, the student whom I provided information about previously." The woman briefly explained to the officer.


    "Sir, we had already processed the registration as soon as you provided the information for the registration. All that remains is to stamp your body." The officer described the situation with a courteous statement.


    When Aceia heard that even the people here called him ''Sir'', he thought that Senior Lee was supposed to be an important person in the academy.


    But what was the stamp? Oh, they must be tattooing my body. I always wanted to get one, and he thought it was really cool.


    Senior Lee was hurting the boy who seemed excited over his shoulder. Every child came in with the same reaction, but none of them could find what they expected.


    "It saved us a great deal of burden. I want to get the stigma done right away. Build the altar."


    Senior Lee didn''t want any further registration, and he wanted to handle it right away. He knew that he was actually quite patient, but he felt quite warm about this child, and he wanted the pain to go away already.


    ¡°Roger that."


    The woman attendant nodded slightly and left to prepare the altar.


    And Aceia grinned to himself, thinking about the tattoo.


    "Why exactly are they tattooing students?"


    Aceia absolutely loved the idea of getting a tattoo, but it was hard to tell why an Academy would want a tattoo.


    "We are a private Academy. Although our students seem to be incompetent, we find them worth training for. All we want in return is loyalty. Therefore, every student has a stamp. With these stamps, we can always keep you safe by knowing where you are, and when we are on the Earth, we show people where you came from."


    Aceia had to admit it was a pretty good idea. He was satisfied that this academy, which had few students and continues to decline, had fallen on his pupils. He was doing it to empower them even though he was facing death. Even a fool could say they didn''t take students to kill.


    "Why is the tattoo being made at the altar?"


    "You''ll see in a moment."


    Senior Lee thought he was tired of my questions now, Aceia. He agreed with him about it, so he asked a lot of questions today. It could be said that a man like Senior Lee does not like to talk much. And yet he put up with Aceia quite a lot.


    After a long silent wait, the departing woman officer returned.


    "The altar is ready, sir. Please follow."


    As the altar was being prepared, Aceia happily followed Senior Lee and the woman officer down, unaware that it would happen to him.
