《Verlorene Seele(dropped)》 The First Seven PT1 In the beginning, there were three being of immense power, Gods, so to say. These three beings, one of which, a god of creation, the other, a god of destruction, and lastly, a god of time. The god of creation, seeing that they were starting to get bored at tinkering with their powers, decided to create something, he decided to create a place where he could let loose the gift of life. On the first day, he made several round solids(planets) of varying composition and gave them invisible tracks, allowing them to move about in space without ever colliding. This, of course was only after countless of failed universes, all of the failures, were devoured by the god of destruction. On the first day, the first sin, Gluttony, had manifested. On the second day, he shifted small amounts of mass in each of the planets and decided to change the states and composition of certain chunks of the planets. This gave birth to the mountains, the seas, the clouds and the atmosphere. Seeing this, the god of destruction claimed that all that has been created is a waste of energy.

On the third day, the god of creation decided to create an everlasting source of energy that would act as the core, something so beautiful that would cause all that he had created, to pale in comparison, a star. The god of destruction saw the star and thought to himself "No matter, compared to me, everything pales in comparison." On the third day, the third sin, Pride, had manifested. To Be Continued(I''m lazy). If there are any errors or critiques, please let me know, if anyone ever reads this, hopefully someone reads this. Also, this is my first time writing, but since I strive to improve, harsh criticism is fine, welcomed even. Thanks for reading! The First Seven PT2 Hahaha... I managed to steel myself to finish up this little story at least. On the fourth day, he(The god of creation) decided to grant the gift of life to a single planet. He grew trees,molded all sorts of animals(lions, sheep, though not quite), molded dragons, gigantic creatures made of flesh and had their own unique power and affinity, which they would then evolve to utilize. The god of creation did not stop there, he started to mold tiny creatures that looked kind of like an asterisk(*), he gave these creatures the gift of knowledge as they possessed incomparably insignificant power. He named this race "Humans". The god of destruction, saw these "Humans", and started to release his carnal desires upon the females of the race. On the fourth day, the fourth sin, Lust, had manifested. On the fifth day, the god of creation had found out of the deeds that the god of destruction had done. He immediately created a remodeled version of the humans to protect the humans and alert him of suspicious activity. These "humans", had wings growing off their backs, strength unlike the humans, golden hair and eyes as brilliant as the sun, and most of all, a unique power that revolved around light. The god of destruction, seeing these, "super" humans, became very angry. He felt that the god of creation was denying him his right, that the god of creation was siding himself with the lesser beings. He then set off and slipped through the angels surveillance and started to offer humans uncontrollable power in return for their loyalty, these humans grey wings off their back, pointed and evil looking wings, horns on their heads, and increased affinity towards the latent life energy within the world. The god of destruction then sent these corrupted humans to cause chaos all around, especially amongst the humans Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.On the fifth day, the fifth sin, Wrath, had manifested. On the sixth day, the god of creation had created multiple variations to the humans, tall humans with pointed ears, short and stout humans with great strength, and even merged animals and humans(cliche races, i know, if you suggest some races in the comments i might add them in) to combat the demons. The god of creation had also taught these races and the humans to harness the life energy around and within them, resulting in the phenomenon known as magic. Several humans, demons, and human variants started to thirst for more power, they thirsted for riches, for fame and had started committing heinous and inhumane acts. On the sixth day, the sixth sin, Greed, had manifested. On the seventh day, war had been waged amongst the races. The god of creation, seeing that his beloved creations were waging war amongst each other. seeing hat he had no way of stopping the war, decided to create another universe. building on his experiences, he had created another world, much faster this time. He looked at a lush blue and green planet, and decided to grant the gift of life to it "I think i''ll call this planet... Earth..." End Next chapter I will finally introduce you to the main character! As well as speed up the pace of the story! Next chapter is where the "actual" story starts! P.S. if you''re wondering about the seventh sin sloth, there is a reason i didnt mention it like the others, it will all be clear in the future!(if youre still readng that is) How it all went wrong Everyone is being so noisy, just because the holidays just ended and some of my classmates have not seen each other in a while doesn''t mean that they have to get all joyous. If they truly missed each other, they could have visited, couldn''t they? " Avitus! Stop glaring at them.", said my friend of five months, Reinhold," You''re creeping them out!". " They''re being a nuisance, shouldn''t they stop talking instead?", I snapped back at Reinhold," In the first place, that''s the entire reason for my ''creepy'' glare.". Reinhold facepalmed, headdesked and stared at me. " You have a rotten personality.", he added," But don''t worry, I know better than to mess with the guy who beat up a whole gang ''on accident''.". Just as i was about rebut, my crush walked into the class. Naturally, like most guys helplessly in love would do, I stared at her for a couple seconds, before breaking off when she looked in my direction. Her name is Lukatiel, she had long, brown hair reaching her shoulders, deep brown eyes which you can lose yourself in, also not forgetting her slender and curvaceous figure. She herself has any admirers, including myself. Especially Judah, he is he best friend and has a very close relationship with her, this, of course is the cause of a number of class disputes. *BOOM* Just as Lukatiel was about to get to her seat, a deafening explosion occurred, most of my classmates remained unharmed. Actually, all of them are unharmed. I look over towards Lukatiel just to calm my turbulent heart, thankfuly she was unharmed. She was staring at something. Everyone is staring at something, the same thing. I look towards what they were staring at. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. " FUCK!". I immediately cursed, very audibly too. What i was looking at, is not something new to me. In fact, it is quite a common occurrence. Just not from this world. It was a crack, a crack in the air. It had ominous black fog seething from it. " EVERYONE GET THE FUCK AWAY!", I screamed at the top of my lungs. My classmates have no idea what they''re in for. The crack suddenly stretched and grew larger, creatures that looked like zombies with cracks all over their skin that glowed a fiery red stepped out of the black fog. I say they look like zombies, however they move about like a normal person, except that they are faster, stronger, more intelligent and do not crave for human body parts. These creatures are called ghouls, they seem to have magical affinity with fire. Ghouls are humans that made a deal with higher beings, lords, kings, grand magicians, but could not contain the powers that were gifted to them. This causes the degradation of their souls. Ghouls have no choice but to consume the souls of others to restore their own. if not, they would degrade into empty vessels and eventually die. Amongst the ghouls, is a armored individual, he looks like a knight(reference the knight armor from d*mon''s s*uls but less grand and a larger size). He carried a black long sword and had flames spewing out from gaps in his armor and all along the blade of the long sword.. He is most probably the leader of the group. "SHIT!". ---------- Well this is all i had time to do as of now, will continue tmr, most probably. And yes, the characters namee IS alzeid, just wait for the bombs to drop. I just finished reading Transcendence, a web novel on this site, learnt abit i guess I Am King Avitus keeps cursing and swearing after the monsters came through the portal. He keeps asking us to run away, but he himself does not seem about to run. " Avitus! What are you doing? We have to get away before something happens!", I urge him. " Chill Lukatiel, just run away, and let my men handle this.", Avitus grins towards me, whilst putting his ear pieces into his ears. Something is amiss, how can he be so calm? He is even listening to music! And what did he mean by ''his men''? Suddenly I am grabbed by my arm. " Lukatiel!", my friend Judah pulls me back to reality," Forget about Avitus! If he wants to die so badly, then let him die! We need to get to a safe place, away from this mess!". The knight behind the monsters slashes at Avitus without warning. "HA! Is this all you can do?! SO SLOW!", Avitus mocks the knight as he dodged his blade. Though Avitus claims the knight is slow, my eyes could not even see him move from his original position. I realize that something is seriously wrong, all the time i''ve seen Avitus, he never seemed even the slightest bit athletic. He had a pretty face, was a good height for a guy around here, around 1.7m, and was slim with broad shoulders. Athletic is the last thing i would describe him as, he would be a model more so than an athlete. So how, how did he dodge the blade, and even doing so without the slightest hint of fear on his face? The knight suddenly jumps at me, if i were a normal human i would''ve been sliced in half by now. Luckily I''m not. His actions seemed as slow as a snail compared to the speed of which me and my men train. Seeing that he was about to do an overhead slash, I sidestepped to my left as he was holding the longsword in his right hand. As a follow up, the knight twisted his blade mid air and sweeps it towards me. I immediately jump backwards. I tap my earpieces and conjure up communication magic. I contacted my private army situated back in my castle in the other world. " Send in the fanciest group to m location, the one that uses rapiers and always wear their coats and ties. I have a couple corrupted i my school.", after saying that much, I cut off the spell. 3...2...1...0.5... ahh finally. I counted the seconds to the arrival of my troops. It may seem riduculous to normal people but since i have them use a special magic which is fueled by 3 whole mana engines on their helicopter like vehicles, the can warp between the two worlds without meeting much resistance. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Five fancy looking soldiers jumped down from about 50 meters in the air. When they were a meter off the ground they activated simple propulsion magic and blast through the ghouls and proceed to form a subjugation magic circle. They intend to stop the knight? Question him? I''d rather just finish him off, I know they can do it, I gave them knowledge on powerful magic and techniques to forge the strongest, sharpest, most magically conductive swords. Each one of them has enough power to go toe to toe against a stronger knight. " Seize your USELESS mad charge at our lord!", one of them shouts as magical chains appear from under the knight and forces him into a kneeling position. I cringed at that. It''s just so cheesy. Maybe I should force them to wear high tech ''power suits'' and give them magically fueled mini rifle sized rail guns. I walked towards the knight, summoned a single edged two-handed guardless long sword(maybe i will draw the swords if i ever learn how to post pictures and stuff). The sword had the length of a katana and the blade curves outwards at the bottom, it is completely black and has a fuller running down both sides close to the spine of the sword. I hold the two handed sword in my right hand, I usually hold most swords in one hand s that i can still cast magic or use my powers with the other hand. I casually meander towards the currently kneeling knight. And behead him. Avitus just... he... I try to wrap my head around all that just happened, a space ship came through a portal, people jumped from a great height and suddenly killed all the monsters and called Avitus their lord? Then he... he summoned a sword from nowhere, like magic, and... he... cut the knights head off. There was no resistance as the knights head came off, no blood... Avitus suddenly turns around and stares at me. " Who... What are you?", I nervously question, I now know he wasn''t a normal person from the way he acted, the way the people who used magic addressed him, the way he killed the knight. " Me?", Avitus ponders the question. " I am king. And call me Alzeid from now on." ---------- Ahh lesser action from the main character than i wouldve liked, i had to show off his private army after all. On the next chapter! End of the world?! Surprise Surprise Ahahaha sorry guys i had something on yesterday. ---------- " The fuck? King? What king? King of what? What?", Reinhold stutters and barely manages his own words. " Yes King, king of a kingdom in another world similar to this. These guys here are part of my personal army. The monsters originated from the other world, nothing much." " Nothing much?! These monsters almost started a killing spree! we could have died! And now you''re telling us you''re some king of another world?! Especially after cleaving that knights head off!". Reinhold shouts with a tinge of anger and a hint of fear and nervousness. " Relax bro, I have confidence in my abilities, furthermore, I have an entire army to come if need be. I beheaded the knight as he would''ve just did a suicide bombing anyways.", I say while looking around. " Y... You... You''re a monster...", Judah suddenly butts in, I never noticed him, i thought he had scurried away with his tail in between his legs like the vermin he is. " No. I am a King. Yes i may not be a hundred percent human, but I''m mostly human. I have emotions at least. I cry when I''m sad, smile when I''m happy. Act rashly when I''m in love...", I say while sneaking glances at Lukatiel. Aaaaaaaah, she really does calm my heart down. I use my powers off creation and destruction to switch my clothes to more comfortable attire for combat and movement. My out fit consists of a face mask with no features except for a ]|[ symbol painted on it, i gave it a worn off look, a long sleeved T-shirt, a vest for minimal chest protection, a hoodless cloak which can be buttoned at the collar, a pair of jeans, sneaker-like shoes and a pair of black gloved which are buttoned at the wrists, the gloves have some hard material on the knuckles. Everything i wear is black. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. " Oh and guys, call me Alzeid, its my real name." Everyone stares at me with wide eyes, they most probably can''t grasp what i just did. " It''s magic, nothing special.", if they knew i could create and destroy matter their minds would explode. I stare at Lukatiel as she seems to want to say something. " Avit... Alzeid... Whats going to happen to us now?", Lukatiel timidly asks, she seems worried that this event may have triggered some world ending scenario. " Nothing, all this will be made public to the world, the other kings from my world and I will discuss our course of action. Overall nothing much will change in your life, i will set up meetings with world leaders, set up a sort of police to handle these situations in this world. I am thinking of introducing magic to this world, maybe enlisting people here would be a good idea." " Th... Then what should we do now?", Lukatiel takes the initiative to ask. " Go home, I''ll handle things here." I then dash towards Lukatiel. I put one arm around her waist. And I kiss her. " Goodbye." ---------- I was thinking of writing more but then I realize that endig it there seemed pretty romantic Next chapter! Time skip! New order! Xenophobia! Change " Goodbye." That was two years ago. When Av...Alzeid disappeared. Well he didn''t technically disappear. Seeing that he appeared on the news, in the live broadcast of negotiations between his world and ours. Not long after Alzeid left, the human race made contact with another world. Not much of the other world was revealed, all we know is that the other world,s technology is generations ahead of us and magic exists. The specific kingdom that came into contact with us is said to be the most powerful and that their king single-handedly advanced their technology and magic by leaps and bounds. After a little googling, it was easy to tell that the king was, unsurprisingly, Alzeid. During the negotiations, Alzeid gave the other world leaders no room for argument. China wanted Alzeid to release all their technology to them, they said that their country specifically deserved it, that they were the most responsible. Russia wanted all documents pertaining to the development of magic. In response to that, Alzeid threatened by saying that he could raze the entire country at a whim. He also made it a point to tell them that he is, as of now, the most powerful person on earth. In the end two different orders we made. The hunters order, an organisation which consists purely of forces from the other world. This order, as the name suggests, hunts down ''enemies''. ''Enemies'' consist of people who abuse magic, invaders from other worlds and criminals who are too much for earthly forces to handle. The other order, is the apprentice order. This order is more of a magic academy than an actual order. Everyone aged 10 to 16 will have to take a compulsory aptitude test. The test tests on your intelligence and magical aptitude. Those who pass the extremely strict test will be given a scholarship into the apprentice''s academy, a giant castle in the sky above the pacific ocean. The order aims to cultivate magic within people of earth, though students from the other world also attend. Those who do very well during the exams will be given the choice to join the hunters order, of course, it is a high risk high return offer. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. I was one of the 500 students that managed to pass the test. " Lukatiel!", Judah calls out to me," Stop daydreaming, we''re gonna be late for the opening ceremony!". " Wait up guys!" " Reinhold, why the hell did you bring three suitcases full of things?!" The two of them kept bickering on the way to the main hall. The pathway to the main hall was extremely ornate, there are exotic plants all along both sides of the path, there are marble columns every so often and a long magic shield which is used as a roof for the pathway. This castle like academy is all around pretty white. The entrance to the hall is massive, two doors about seven meters tall 3 meters wide and half a meter thick make up most of the entrance. The doors have mirrored designs, the doors are black with gold patterns. When we entered the hall, almost everyone had already seated down. Judah, Reinhold and I found a place for us to sit. A tall, skinny and old man walks up to the microphone. " I am Fulco, the headmaster of this academy. I would like to personally welcome you to my academy, however we have an important guest speaker who is short on time, so without further ado.". The headmaster then steps down from the mic. And a slim teenager with short white hair, except for his for two long locks of hair on his sides, in front of his ears steps up. " Good morning freshmen! My name is Alzeid and I welcome you to your new life in the academy of the apprentice order!" ---------- Thanks for reading! On the next chapter! You! Why! Here! Scars of old and a collection of curses " WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" " Oh my dear Judah, seems like you''re still pretty dense.", I replied," I am the king, the one who established all of this." " DON''T FUCK AROUND AVITUS" " It''s Alzeid to you, young man." " Stand down you! He is the king and you WILL show him respect!", the headmaster suddenly bellowed. Everyone was surprised as the headmaster does look very feeble. " Great example of integrating magic into the simplest of actions, headmaster." " I am humbled, my highness." " So, Judah. You obviously have something against me.", I speak up." so why don''t we settle it the old fashioned way, with a duel." " My lord! Please forgive this young o" " Fine!", Judah responded. The corners of my lips curve upwards a I teleported the headmaster and the students to the arena. The arena is designed similarly to the colosseum in Greece. The only differences being its rectangular, high-tech and made of special materials made to withstand at least a blow from me. " This is where we shall settle this matter. No killing, everything else is fair game, we have the second best healers here!" I proclaim. As the students file into the arena, I get into position and try my best to look menacing. I switch my formal attire to a more agile outfit. Instead of a cloak. I have a jacket that covers only until the the bottom of my rib cage, leaving my waist open for ease of movement. I also have something like a skirt but it only covers the back, like my cloak. Other than that I''m wearing pants of softer material with guards all around and the same long sleeved black shirt I always wear. Now i know i may seem like some anime character that always wears the same clothes, but I''m not, it just so happens to be that i really like these clothes. " Hey Judah, since you managed to enter the academy, you should have awakened your magic right? And if you have any powers it should also have awakened too." " Of course I do, I even have an offensive power. Why? Starting to shake in your boots? You may be politically powerful, but you''re just a weak cry baby that has to hide behind our troops." Wow. I didn''t expect Judah to be so dense, and so bitchy. " Yeah let see how cocky you an get when I hand your ass back to you." I say as i surround myself with a black aura. " Flashstep!", Judah suddenly shouted as he teleported behind me , leaving behind a trail of lightning. Judah appears behind me and tries to stab me in my back. Honestly, it surprised me. Who knew that he of all people would have my dead comrades power. I de-materialized myself, turned into a black fog and phase backwards, through Judah. Once I was behind him i materialized myself, summoned a rapier and pointed it towards Judah''s neck. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. " Give up yet? It''s surprising that you have my dead comrade''s power." " Flas. Ughk". I hit Judah in the jaw with the guard of my rapier before he finishes saying the name of his power. Normal people would think that it is stupid the scream the name of their powers, however they need to do so as they cannot properly visualize their own powers without a ''catalyst''. " Give up you useless tirade, my powers, combat proficiency and experience are leaps and bounds ahead of yours.", I suggest," No matter how you try, I will always beat you." Judah,being the stubborn man that he is, refused to give up. A jab to the left A stab to the right a thrust to my chest a slash to my neck I dodged all his attacks effortlessly. " Flashstep!" Judah once again tries to activate his power. As I try to stop him, my consciousness slipped. I get stabbed in my thigh. I fell onto one knee, coughing blood as my heart clenches. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I clench my teeth and lost consciousness " My lord!" ----------- Thanks for reading! Sike! A little more, I''ve been so busy lately ----------- Alzeid suddenly fainted during his match. Right now a number of the teachers are escorting him towards the infirmary. " HAHAHA AVITUS IS SUCH A SCRUB!" " Stop it Judah, Alzeid didn''t fall because of you. In fact, he was handling you pretty well." " Whats wrong with Alzeid?" I asked the headmaster. " Why should tell you? You and your friend caused this in the first place!" " If I ask Alzeid to replace you I am very sure he won''t deny me. Don''t you know that we were in the same class before he left?" " Fine! If you want to know so bad, then ask him yourself!" " Just tell them, I''m sure our lord won''t mind.", a young woman suddenly said," I am Alzeid''s secretary, you can call me Liz.". " If Alzeid gets mad, I will blame you without a second thought! But well, regarding Alzeid''s condition, his injuries from a few years ago, when he first came to our world are acting up. This causes him great pain. Also, Alzeid is cursed, the curse is suppressing his all his powers, including regeneration. None of the healers, scientists, shamans, priests and magicians can lift the curse. In fact, the curse is so complicated and impenetrable that it seems like Alzeid cursed himself!" " When he first came to your world? You mean Alzeid was born on earth?" " Yes, well it''s a really long story, and I''m sure that Alzeid would rather not share some parts of it. ---------- Based on the poll results, I may or may not cover Alzeids backstory next chapter or sometime down the line. Ghosts of his past Lucatiel ---------- " You better not tell them, Fulco.". A menacing voice suddenly resounded. Alzeid''s voice suddenly resounded. There he stood, with his shirt unbuttoned, revealing a slim, well toned body. He was standing with the help of two crutches. He had a pained look on his face, then I noticed that the wound on his leg isn''t treated. " Alzeid! Your leg! It hasn''t been treated yet up yet!", I shouted out of concern." You''re bleeding very badly... you need to go back and get yourself healed.". " Nah, it''s all good. Tis but a scratch.". Thud! Alzeid suddenly collapses. ----- Alzeid ----- " Why didn''t you save me." " Why did you leave us to die." " Why, with all your power, could you not have saved us." " I love you." I open my eyes. " Ugh. God damnnit.", I curse." That dream again.". I sit up on my bed. I''m currently in my own personal room in the academy. It is furnished very sparsely, no drawers, amenities and cupboards, only a single mirror. I can do without the since i can just create whatever i need and i can clean myself using my power of destruction to destroy all the dirt and stuff. A versatile power indeed. I stand up and and head to the mirror. My hair is pure white, my right eye is red while my left eye is blue. My skin is fair and pale, I have been told that my skin is apparently smoother then most noble women. In fact, I have many a time been mistaken for a woman. I look closely into my eyes. There are magic circles within my eye, visable through my pupil. Both eyes have different magic circles. These magic circles are a manifestation of my soul. The one is my left eye allows me to gather copious amounts of information regarding my surroundings and of people, I can peer into souls of others from afar if i so wish to. The magic circle in my right eye affects my combat abilities, it has natural thought acceleration and can release a light based attack which strikes fear into those who star into my right eye. It can paralyze my enemies and completely take down people with weak souls. I recreate my standard set of clothes and head out of the room. Outside, my secretary waits for me. Liz is a young woman from the kingdom, she used to be a noble''s daughter before I abolished the nobles of the past king. She actually personally came to me to offer her services as an assistant. At first I was skeptical letting another woman into my circle, however, she proved herself to be able to handle administrative matters in my stead. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Right now she was wearing a red cloak over her black pants and white shirt. The red cloak is used to show that she is part of my circle which consists usually of generals and advisers. She is about my height, has a slim figure which filled out at all the right areas. A beauty so to speak. She has many admirers, she used to be confessed to all around. She rejected all of her admirers advances on her. She is cold and intimidating, though she seems to care for me somewhat. I do not know of her feelings but I doubt it is anything special. " My lord.", she greets me. " What''d I miss?" " Nothing much, I do have some documents regarding the human leaders here.", Liz explains fluently." Many a leader wishes to meet with you personally and wishes to discuss the future of both worlds.". " Send someone else, I don''t want to waste my time on ambitious politicians." " Yes my lord.", Liz responds. " Anything else of importance?" " The generals recommend a photoshoot to improve your image." " A photoshoot? What I need is to show a display of my power, I fucked up during the match with Judah, I should have finished it earlier.". " A rematch my lord?", Liz suggested. " No, but assign me onto the missions my men cannot handle. Other than that I wish to wipe China, Russia and Germany off the face of the planet. I have received word that there are many cases of human experimentation, abduction of children with magical talent and oppression of those without magic.". " But sir, that is a little excessive isn''t it?", Liz yet again questions. " Fine. Send in the shadow corps.". Saying that, I activated teleportation magic. I teleported myself onto the highest point in the academy, the top of one of seven towers in the school. I spread thin strands of magic all around the academy like a net. Combined with the ability of my left eye, I have full coverage of the going ons within the academy. Lucatiel, Judah and Reinhold are currently in class, participating in the orientation activities. Suddenly something catches my eye. A small tattoo on Lucatiels neck, very well hidden by her collar. " The organisation.". ---------- Okay as per suggestions, i decided to make it clear whose pov the story is taking place from. I also decided to to share his complete backstory, I''ve made some plans for it. By the way, I don''t know if you guys have noticed all the clues and hints towards Alzeids potential but the next chapter will be a great battle of unwillingness! Next chapter! The organisation! Power hunger! Threat to the world! Lessons DAMNNIT. this is the second time im writing this chapter, i accidentally deleted this earlier(facepalm). Also, sorry for not posting last week, I was really sick. I must''ve ate something bad. Haizzzz ---------- Alzeid ---------- Well, I should really do something about the organisation. But I mean, they don''t even have an official name. They still brand their agents and operatives with tattoos, something straight out of a badly written anime. " Liz.", I call out using a simple unsecured telepathy magic. " My liege." " Lord, sir, liege, choose one already!", I respond." (sigh) Anyways, sign me up for the same classes as those three, I''m curious about something.". " Curious huh?", Liz asks inquisitively. " Yes, just curious. " ---------- Lucatiel ---------- " Judah can you teach me that spell?". " You looked really cool out there!". " You were so cool, it looked like you were losing but then you suddenly beat Alzeid up!". Ever since the battle, Judah has become somewhat of a idol. The other new students kept flocking towards him, asking for advice and the like. Strangely enough, the pre existing students were all indifferent towards Judah. In fact, the old students look at Judah with eyes like daggers. " Look at Mr. Hotshot!", Alzeid suddenly says whilst jumping through the window." Don''t let it get to your head, it won''t do you good to make enemies out of the school.". " Don''t be such a sore loser Alzeid.", one of the new students shouted. " You better shut your fucking mouth Seth, what sir Alzeid says is true. Each and every one of the old students look at sir Alzeid as a symbol of power, someone to work towards. Sir Alzeid has sacrificed and lost so that we could live our lives. If it weren''t for sir Alzeid, both our worlds would have been destroyed." " Settle down. We need to begin with the lessons. Though I am not pleased with the slanders of our lord, he has given us, teachers, more authority than even he, in times of peace within the school and has instructed us that the lessons are of utmost importance." Grumbling, Seth and the rest of the students sat down in their respective seats. Alzeid walked towards the back of the classroom and stood there, leaning against the wall. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. As the teacher covered on various topics, all of us were taking down notes and listening intently. All of us know how important these lessons are. Especially for us new students. The old students need to succeed in the academy as they aspire to serve their country, to gain enough power to travel their own world. Unlike our world, their world is full of monsters, only the strong are able to venture forth into unexplored lands. Us new students need to succeed as we are sponsored by our own countries. When we accepted the offer, it became an all or nothing. If we back out now, we cannot enter the normal education system as the academy messes up our education due to having much, much more subjects. Furthermore, graduating from the academy doesn''t get you a diploma or anything of that sort. " Now, does anyone know what is the simplest magic to research and learn but is the hardest to put into actual use in combat?", our teacher, Mr. Aros questioned the class, " Transmutation magic?", a student to my right blurted. " No, the answer is propulsion magic. Propulsion magic has a very simple concept, it applies kinetic energy from a single point, towards another. What makes propulsion magic so difficult to use in combat, is the fact that it is so simple. There is not much you can alter. As of now, our lord is the only one with the mental capacity to use it in combat. Have you ever wonder how he spins around mid air? Many mistake it to be a physical technique.". " It''s really simple, especially after using the old grapple suit. Man those things were a pain." " For the new students, grapple suits are,as the name suggests, suits with numerous grappling hooks. The idea was to grapple mid-air and basically pull yourself around to dodge.". (bell ringing) " It seems that that my class has ended, your next class should be practical combat and subjugation. The lesson would take place in the arena.", Mr. Aros said while packing up his materials. The class then quickly file out of the classroom and head towards the arena. ---------- Thanks for reading! Sorry for the slow pace, visions of action next chapter. Ill try to get a chapter up on monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday this week to make up for last week. ill also try to not accidentally delete future chapters. just a notice(not a chapter) well i decided that my writing skills suck and i need to desperately improve. I started this whole thing on a whim, dont get me wrong, i love writing and reading. But after reading countless web novels, light novels and mangas, i realise that my attitude and knowledge of writing is holding me back. When i read other web novels, they have idioms, sayings, teachings. I can understand them very well, but am not able to reproduce it into my own story Im gonna do some self study and reflection and when i find my own writing style and shape up to be able to describe better and the like, i will resume. Stolen story; please report. I expect that when i return there most probably wont be anyone left to read this story, but i am not satisfied with writing half baked trash like a drunkard trying to make a game when i know i am capable of alot more. TL;DR Im gonna stop writing until i am able to write a hell lot better and satisfy my own desire and thirst for self improvement
