Donovan Talinat had been a [Telepath] for many years now. As an S-ranked Gifted, he had dedicated the use of the skills to the occupation of becoming a Delver. He supported some of the greatest minds, even finding himself with the occasional opportunities to work with SS-rank Delvers. At least one or two.
If there was one thing that he cou...

The master of the Order sighed. “You sure took your sweet time with it, didn’t you?”
The [Sage] in Bandiv shot him a dark look but knew better than to indulge him. He, too, sighed, leaning back on his chair like a spent man.
“Please do not patronize someone who just ensured that we survive whatever the gods are about to do,...

Aiden missed. The spear cut through the air and slammed into Zen.
Zen was sent flying off his still moving jepat and straight into a tree. He stayed stuck to the tree, pinned to its trunk by the spear that now ran through his head. His eyes stared forward. Dead.
Aiden’s heart clenched. His lungs shook as the air refused to go in or...

A moment of silence settled on the group. Ted looked around, offering weak smiles to everyone. Aiden could see their worries on their face as well as Ted’s failed attempt to assuage said worries.
After the offering of weak smiles, Ted leaned into him conspiratorially and spoke in a whisper.
“Just déjà vu?” he asked quietly. ...

Torat frowned, unsure of how to handle this level of fear.
“I don’t understand,” he said in response to the master. “There is always a future.”
The master of the Order released Torat and let his hands droop lazily to his side. He took a very deep and long breath, then let it out.
He put on a sudden smile. Torat could ...

The sun was making its descent when Aido made his way back to camp. His armor was a broken mess, shattered and ruined. It weighed down on him as he walked, dripping blood and fueling the soil beneath his feet from injuries long healed.
With each step his armor clanged and creaked. He sighed, ignored it, and continued forward. He walked up ...

Just what kind of group was Aiden running with. Letto had been on Nastild long enough to have seen a lot of things. Perhaps not half as much as there was to see, but he had seen enough. Being in the castle had given him enough experience with the [Healer] class. Even being outside him had shown him a few variations.
If there was one thing ...

The fight hadn’t lasted long. Still, it was lasting longer than Aiden had hoped. So far, he had dealt with a lot of opponents. He was down to only five now.
They moved quickly, almost acting in tandem. Fighting against him for as long as they had was given them some sense of teamwork. They were understanding each other to the point that ...

The first thing Melmarc could say with complete certainty was that he did not like the room. There was just way too much green. It seemed endless and unnecessary.
He took the room in at a glance as he walked in. The natural setting was too much, the wood brown, the leaf green. It reminded him of his time in the portal.
Still, he said...

Patience watched him from a distance. Even without looking, Melmarc could feel her eyes on him. The few times he met her gaze, she had an expression that he could not quite place. She didn’t look pissed but she was definitely not happy.
As for Pelumi, she stood next to him quietly. She looked confused by what he had done to Devin. Her te...

Oboz, I think you should stop the match.
The voice rang in Oboz’s head. Enma was an A-rank [Telepath] with visual acuity. Interestingly enough, it didn’t mean what most people thought it meant. In her case, it meant that if you granted her permission, she could see through your eyes.

Ms. Ensineta was a cute, young girl with pink blushes and a blonde pixie haircut. She walked out with her hands clutched to her chest as if she was hiding something. She seemed timid simply because she looked cute.

The instructor raised a curious brow.
“A name I’ll never forget,” he mused, repeating Ark’s response to his question. He gave it a moment’s thought before turning his attention to Melmarc. “And you’re the younger brother?”

The sunlight slipped in through the window at the dining section of the room. Apparently, they had forgotten to close the curtains.

Aiden muffled his cries as he fought for some control over his own pain. H...

A wandering chill tickled his lungs as Jang Su came awake. He was groggy and his feet were sore as if he’d walked a million miles. He raised himself up to one knee, first. Shaking his head, he tried to banish the grogginess that held him.
It worked very little, but it also showed him that he had a headache, and a banging one at that. It ...

The expanse of land looked down at them. The moonlight streamed in from whatever space was open above.

There was an explosion. There was dust.
Aiden reacted in the blink of an eye, unburdened by the presence of a weapon. His feet moved slightly into the explosion of dust. He felt the mana in the air and ignored it. There wasn’t enough of it to harm him. Meanwhile, out of the explosion a man charged at him with spear held out.

Even as the idea slipped into Aiden’s mind, he wondered if it was a good one. If it was a worthy one.

It was the only word Melmarc could use to describe the gates to Fallen High’s entrance. From what he knew from the internet, the school had four gates. The south gate was considered the back gate and most alumni just called it the back gate.
It was funny because the gate that was considered the entrance was the West gate and...

The unfortunate part about being in the same team with Taeli was that she was almost always rude. Dreg was yet to meet an employer that she actually liked. The best he had ever gotten from her was tolerance, and that was only when the employer proved to be significantly stronger, which was rare.
