Der Eisdrache starrte Kairo an, während er seine Klaue noch immer auf Kairo's lila Gestalt gerichtet hielt. Der Gesichtsausdruck des Drachen war blass, und er blickte den Eisdrache mit einer Mischung aus Verwirrung und Anspannung an.
„Was soll das bedeuten?", fragte er, und sein Blick verweilte auf dem Eisdrache, der sich nun auf seine Hinterbeine setzte. Der Drachen schlang seine Flügel um sich und seine Augen waren eiskalt, so kalt wie das Wasser eines gefrorenen Sees.
„Du bist nicht wie die anderen", begann der Eisdrache, seine Stimme klang kalt und bedrohlich. „Du bist keine reine Rasse, kein typischer Drache, der die Welt kennt. Du bist ein... ein Mischling, ein wandelndes Rätsel. Deine Fähigkeit, dich zu verändern, zu tarnen, hat mehr mit der Magie der Illusionen zu tun als mit echter Drachenkraft." Der Eisdrache pausierte einen Moment, als würde er die richtigen Worte suchen.
„Was hat das zu bedeuten?", fragte Kairo erneut, der immer noch verwirrt war. Nai, der ebenfalls mit großen Augen auf den Eisdrache starrte, legte seinen Kopf schief, und dann rief er plötzlich: „Warte, warte, warte! Du bist ein Chamäleon?"
„Illusions-Drache", fügte der Eisdrache hinzu, aber sowohl Nai als auch Kairo ignorierten diesen Kommentar.
„Kairo?" fragte Nai erneut, diesmal mit einer leichten Unsicherheit in seiner Stimme. Kairo nickte schließlich.
„Ich bin ein Chamäleon..."
„Das heißt VERDAMMT NOCHMAL Illusionsdrache!", schnitt ihm der Eisdrache mit scharfem Ton das Wort ab.
„Halt deine Klappe!", fauchte Lavia, die sich nun ebenfalls zu Wort meldete. „Oder du endest wie der Erddrache hier!" Sie deutete auf den toten Erddrachen, der regungslos auf dem Boden lag.
Sofort verstummte der Eisdrache, der sich dann umdrehte. „Dann gehe ich halt!" sagte er, und schritt wieder in die Dunkelheit der Höhle.
„Eisdrachen..." murmelte Lavia und schüttelte dabei ihren Kopf. Sie blickte auf Nai, der immer noch fragend Kairo anstarrte, seine Augen so groß wie der Mond bei Vollmond.
„Also, wo war ich?", fragte Kairo, kraulte sich nachdenklich das Kinn und fuhr dann fort: „Ach ja, Nai, ich bin ein Chamäleon. Aber ich sage dir", er sah Nai fest in die Augen, „ich wusste es nicht."
Plötzlich hallten Schritte durch die Höhle, und eine eisige Kälte wehte durch den Raum. „Was ist jetzt los? Es wird eiskalt!", zitterte Nai und drückte sich unter den warmen Flügeln von Lavia. Kairo, der die Kälte spürte, wechselte blitzschnell seine Gestalt und nahm die Form eines Feuerdrachen an. Seine roten Schuppen glühten sanft, und die Wärme seiner Körpertemperatur erhitzte den Raum, der durch die Kälte abgekühlt war.
Aus der Dunkelheit trat eine Gestalt hervor, ein Mensch. Ihr Körper war muskulös, und ihre kristallblauen Haare hingen ihr bis über das Gesicht. Sie hob ihren Kopf, und Kairo dachte überrascht: „Ein Mädchen?"
„Wundervoll... nun müssen wir auch mit einem Menschen kämpfen", brummte Lavia genervt und nahm bereits eine Kampfstellung ein. Ihre Flügel erhoben sich, ihr Kopf streckte sich hoch, und an ihrem Hals glühten die ersten Tropfen Feuer.
Doch anstatt die Drachen anzugreifen, hob das Mädchen ihre Hände und begann eine Sprache zu sprechen, die Kairo nicht verstand. „Ruik, tharak, ak ni'kai hera'ka!" Nai's Ohren zuckten, und er richtete seinen Blick auf das Mädchen, trat einen Schritt näher und senkte seinen Kopf. Das Mädchen streckte ihre Hand aus und berührte sanft seine Schnauze.
„Arkai tharik Thalor'kar!", brummte Nai, und die Augen des Mädchens weiteten sich. Sie überlegte kurz, dann schaute sie auf Kairo, dann auf Lavia und wieder zurück auf Nai. „Thal'ran, a'loran vek thalor'kryn? Zaryth'ka thalor kar?" flüsterte sie, und Kairo legte nur seinen Kopf schief. „Habe ich etwas verpasst?" dachte er sich fragend und blickte zu Nai, dessen Schnauze immer noch von der Hand des Mädchens berührt wurde.
„Ak ekor Lora'kar, thalor'kryn Kahr'kar vek thalor'kryn Kahr'kar, vek thalor'kryn Kahr'kar vek, vekak kra'ni Chamael'kar", antwortete Nai schließlich gelassen und blickte sich um, auf der Suche nach Kairo.
Das Mädchen ließ ihre Hand von Nai's Schnauze gleiten und ging einen Schritt auf die beiden Feuerdrachen zu. Sie hob erneut ihre Hände, doch sowohl Kairo als auch Lavia wichen instinktiv einen Schritt zurück.
„Nai s'vyr, ak ni'kai theran!", sprach das Mädchen ruhig, und setzte ihren Schritt auf Kairo fort. Ihre Stimme klang fast wie ein Befehl, aber auch wie eine Bitte, als ob sie gleichzeitig etwas erfahren wollte, während sie ihre Hand ausgestreckt hielt. Der Raum schien sich um sie herum zu verdichten, als die Luft zwischen den Drachen und diesem geheimnisvollen Wesen schwerer wurde.
Kairo starrte sie an, seine roten Schuppen glühten noch immer sanft, als er auf die Hand der Fremden sah. Sie war so anders, so ruhig, dass er unweigerlich das Gefühl bekam, dass sie mehr wusste, als sie preisgab. Doch was bedeutete das, was sie gesagt hatte? Konnte sie wirklich Drachen sprechen? Und was hatte es mit der merkwürdigen Sprache auf sich?
„Nai", fauchte Kairo und trat einen Schritt zurück, seine Flügel öffneten sich ein Stück. „Was ist hier los? Warum spricht sie so mit uns?"
Nai stand wie versteinert da, seine Augen weit aufgerissen, als er die Worte des Mädchens erneut hörte. Es schien, als würde er nach einer Erklärung suchen, die ihm nicht sofort zugänglich war. Dann, als Kairo ihn ansprach, schien es, als würde sich Nai aus seiner Starre befreien.
„Warte, was? Ihr könnt kein Drakonisch?" fragte er mit einem Hauch von Überraschung in seiner Stimme, als ob er eine Selbstverständlichkeit festgestellt hatte, die er zuvor nicht bemerkt hatte.
„Drakonisch?", fragte Kairo, immer noch verwirrt. „Was ist das für eine Sprache?"
Nai nickte, als er zu dem Mädchen mit den blauen Haaren blickte. „Ja, Drakonisch. Es ist eine Sprache, die von Drachen gesprochen wird. Es ist unsere uralte Sprache, die uns verbindet. Und... es gibt auch ausgewählte Menschen, die sie lernen können." Er deutete mit einem Kopfbewegung auf das Mädchen, das immer näher kam. „Sie ist eine von denen."
Kairo blinzelte. „Eine Sprache der Drachen?", wiederholte er. Es war, als ob er gerade ein neues Geheimnis über seine eigene Existenz erfuhr. Er hatte schon viel über die Drachenwelt gehört, doch dies war ein Aspekt, der ihm bislang völlig fremd war. „Und sie kann... Drakonisch sprechen?"
„Ja", antwortete Nai und trat nun ebenfalls einen Schritt zurück, als das Mädchen ihre Hand noch immer ausstreckte. „Die meisten Menschen verstehen diese Sprache nicht. Sie ist eine der ältesten Formen der Kommunikation, nur die Drachen und diejenigen, die von uns ausgewählt werden, können sie lernen." Nai schaute Kairo an, als ob er gerade selbst begriff, wie bemerkenswert diese Situation war.
„Wir haben das nie gelernt", fügte Lavia hinzu, als sie das Mädchen erneut musterte, ihre Augen voller Misstrauen. „Du verstehst sie? Könntest du ihr bitte sagen, dass sie mir nicht zu nah kommen soll, und dass sie bitte normal sprechen soll?"
Nai schmunzelte, als er die Worte von Lavia hörte, doch gleichzeitig spürte er die Dringlichkeit in ihrer Stimme. Er trat auf das Mädchen zu, die immer noch ruhig und gefasst vor ihnen stand, und flüsterte ihr etwas ins Ohr. „Rok, ty, arkai rithar'kai ni'kai drach'ka, teryn vakor vek ak'ra normal'ska vokar?"
Das Mädchen hörte ihm aufmerksam zu, dann weichte ihr Gesichtsausdruck auf, und sie brach in ein herzliches Lachen aus. Es war ein Lachen, das in der Höhle widerhallte, ein tiefes, raues Lachen, das fast wie das Brüllen eines Drachen klang, nur viel sanfter. „Drachen, die kein Drakonisch können? Seltsam", sagte sie mit einem Augenzwinkern.
Kairo, der das ganze Gespräch mit wachsendem Interesse verfolgt hatte, beobachtete die Reaktion des Mädchens genau. Er hatte sie immer noch für ein Menschliches Wesen gehalten, aber etwas an ihrer Haltung, ihrer Präsenz, war nicht von dieser Welt. Sie war anders, das spürte er.
„Ich bin Frostschwinge, Tochter und Thronfolgerin der Eisdrachenkönigin Glacia", stellte sich das Mädchen nun vor, ihre Stimme plötzlich viel ernster. Sie sprach mit einem Hauch von Stolz, als ob der Name ihrer Mutter eine mächtige Bedeutung trug. Ihr Blick veränderte sich, wurde intensiver, als sie Kairo und Lavia musterte.
„Eisdrachenkönigin Glacia?", fragte Kairo, immer noch misstrauisch, aber auch fasziniert. Er hatte von den Drachenköniginnen gehört, die über ihre Völker herrschten, aber von Glacia hatte er noch nie etwas gehört. „Was hat das alles zu bedeuten?"
„Das ist die Königin du dummerchen,"lavia stupste ihn mit ihrer Schwanzspitze an. „Doch du bist doch nur ein Mensch, ein langweiliger und machtgieriger Mensch!"
Das Mädchen lachte nur. „Nicht alles ist so wie es aussieht"
Frostschwinge begann sich vor seinen Augen zu verändern. Ihre Körperhaltung steigerte sich zu einer ungewohnten Spannung. Ihre Haut schimmerte plötzlich in einem eisigen Blau, ihre Haare wehten unnatürlich schnell, als die Temperatur um sie herum zu sinken schien. Ihre Augen begannen, einen kalten, glühenden Schein zu entwickeln. Und dann, in einer einzigen, fließenden Bewegung, war sie nicht mehr das Mädchen, das sie eben noch gewesen war.
Vor ihnen stand nun ein gewaltiger, majestätischer Eisdrachen, dessen Schuppen in schillernden Blau- und Weißtönen glänzten. Ihre mächtigen Flügel spannten sich aus, und ein kalter Wind wehte durch die Höhle, als die Drachenprinzessin sich aufrichtete und mit einem lauten, tiefen Brüllen die gesamte Höhle erfüllte.
„Ich bin Frostschwinge, Tochter der Königin, und ihr seid hiermit alle festgenommen", verkündete der Drache, mit einer eisigen Autorität in ihrer Stimme. Ihre Worte hallten in der Höhle wider, die durch das Dröhnen ihrer mächtigen Stimme noch lebendiger schien.
Bevor Kairo, Lavia und Nai auch nur reagieren konnten, tauchten plötzlich mehrere weitere Eisdrachen hinter ihr auf. Mit einer Geschwindigkeit, die ihre wahren Kräfte zeigte, stürmten sie aus dem Schatten, ihre riesigen, schimmernden Flügel flatterten in der eisigen Luft. Ihre Klauen griffen nach den drei Gefährten, fesselten sie mit unglaublicher Präzision.
Kairo versuchte, sich zu wehren, seine Feuerkraft zu mobilisieren, aber die Ketten, die ihm angelegt wurden, glühten in einem kalten, blau-weißen Licht, das seine Magie blockierte. Die Ketten waren aus einem Material, das sich wie Eis anfühlte, aber so stark war, dass sie seine Bewegungen vollständig einschränkten.
„Lass uns los!", schrie Lavia, ihre Flügel in einem verzweifelten Versuch ausbreitend, doch auch sie wurde von den eisigen Klauen der Drachen gepackt. Die Ketten schienen sich in den Griffen zu verhärten, als ob sie von einem unsichtbaren Zauber verstärkt wurden.
Nai war ebenfalls festgehalten, seine Bewegungen so blockiert, dass er nur noch den Kopf drehen konnte. „Was ist das?", rief er aus, seine Stimme voller Verwirrung und Angst.
„Ihr hättet nie in diese Höhlen kommen dürfen", sagte Frostschwinge ruhig, ihre kalten Augen funkelten wie Diamanten. Sie trat einen Schritt vor und sah auf ihre Gefangenen herab. „Die Drachen haben uns gewarnt. Ihr seid zu einer Bedrohung geworden, und ich kann euch nicht einfach so durchlassen."
Kairo versuchte erneut, sich aus den Ketten zu befreien, doch die Magie war zu stark. „Was wollt ihr von uns?", fragte er mit einem Hauch von Verzweiflung in seiner Stimme. Er konnte die Bedrohung spüren, die in der Luft lag, aber gleichzeitig auch das Gefühl, dass sie nur einen Teil eines viel größeren Spiels waren. „Wieso…?"
Doch Frostschwinge antwortete nicht sofort. Sie sah auf die drei Drachen, die sie umzingelten, und nickte dann, als ob sie eine stille Entscheidung getroffen hatte. „Wir haben keine Wahl", sagte sie leise. „Auf Befehl meiner mutter,die Königin seid ihr drei wegen Mord an einem Eisdrachen schuldig."
Ein Eisdrachen Soldat schleppt eine leblosen Körper hervor, der auf seinem Körper Brandmale hatte. „Das ist doch der" murmlte Nai, „ das ist der Eisdrache der mit mir Gefangen war."
Kairo erstarrte, der Eisdrache, der vorhin noch in der richtung verschwunden ist, ist nun Tod. Mit Brandmale auf dem Gesicht.
In diesem Moment spürte Kairo, wie die Ketten sich um seine Glieder strafften. Die eisige Kälte schnürte seinen Atem ab. Lavia und Nai stöhnten ebenfalls, als die Ketten immer enger wurden. Ihre Körper wurden schwer, ihre Augen begannen sich zu verschließen. Die Energie in der Höhle schien sich gegen sie zu wenden, und bevor sie auch nur ein weiteres Wort sagen konnten, sank ihre Welt ins Dunkel.
Das letzte, was Kairo wahrnahm, war das Bild von Frostschwinges kaltem, entschlossenem Blick, der sich in seine Gedanken brannte, bevor alles um ihn herum verschwand.


Humanity are creatures full of contradiction
as someone one's said "Humanity: a tapestry of contradictions, where words often betray the intentions of the heart."
As I think about this I look at the woman in the podium writing some bulshit about justice and fairness in this school academy or whatever the shit hole this is.
You might be thinking.
 why am I talking in such a messed up Way. Well chige this school is messed up no whole country is messed up no, this whole world is messed up.
Well then you'll say what's so New about a messed up world well nothing actually.
The world is messed up is not a new thing.
The thing that is new however is the world it's salf.
Not for the people around me but for me alone.
Yup this is not my world,
 I come from somewhere you all know as earth 🌎.
You thinking how did I get here
 we'll too know that .
you have to go back to one month.
One month ago.
Khhhh a sword stabbed throu a young man's heart in a dimly lit corridor.
 there ware five other corpses around cut stabbed and matulated by a sword
 the Man who was holding the sword looked at the young Man who's Heart he stabbed .
he could see pain in the young Man's expression
 A plie for Mercy, he could see plie for help in the young Man's eyes.
But Kevin didn't show any Mercy hey could clearly see the young man dieing.
Kevin looked around he remembered all the dead people .
not by name but he could remember their faces.
 they were all in the same academy
 in this dungeon this guys attacked him with the young man .
but they could not succeed instead they got killed by Kevin.
 He looked around and took a deep breath and prepared to go away from here .
but right at that moment , he saw a phone from a corner of his eye
 he found it was behind a brick recording everything.
He picked up the phone and saw the recording was still on going .
he saved the recording and played it from the start .
he saw how they planned for everything
how they lowered him in here using a fake distress call from Lara using the academics dungeon phone
that was supposed to be with Lara
He thought did they do something to lara
Or is Lara in on this
Or is it the school behind this.
 I need to talk with miss sarlin about this and I can't take this phone out or they will locate
Me with it's tracking chep .
Khavin looked at his surroundings one last time .
dungeon monster's well be attracted to the sent of blood so even if they follow this and come here all they will see is courses eaten by monsters.
 he crushed the phone in his hand and got ready to leave
he looked back one more time at the young Man's corpse who will never going to leave this dungeon alive
 and then he left tro the coredoor and the place fell silent
only the 6 corpses remind
This is the end, this was how the young man who's name was Ryan Davies's story ended.
But suddenly the wound in the young Man's heart and body started healing
As someone one's said" every ending is a new Beginning " novel title baby 🤯😅
In a few minutes the wound on the young Man's heart and body all healed up and the heart started beting .
A new Beginning happened not on the afterlife but in the mortal world .
And then the new Beginning started with a new Ryan Davies's first breath 😬


In a place where nothing existe and at the same time everything existe ,
Where time and space is not just a imaginary finaminan but
 they existe as direction's with many other phenomenance existing in this place.
A being opened his eyes
You could not not feel anything from him if you wanted to feel him.
You could not see him if you wanted to see him.
You could not think of him as young or old as if he was the youngest and the oldest at the same time
 as if he was just like time and space and other phenomenance existing in the place
you can only know he existe and that's it.
He looked at some place and observed something and then sighed and spoke so this is how It begins .
He then though for a moment and then put both of his hands together and pour some energy into his quenched hands and spoke some ancient language that was like the universe law it's salf into his quenched hands.
 He than separated his hands and a ball of lite was there.
if someone as powerful as this man could see this ball of lite. they would know that the ball was almost like a soul but it was not a soul .
he then looked at the ball and it vanished into a small holl in this place.
The man than smiled said as long as santiant soul doesn't do anything
 they can't put any charges at me so I'm fine for now.
I hope this time it's defrant and he makes the right choice.
And he closed his eyes and everything goes back to normal as normal as they can be in this place.
Ryan opend his eyes. he could feel pain a lot of pain

Looking at this site Ryan thought wait is this a prank. it has to be a prank someone is someone is definitely filming me right.

No host you felt me talk.
Wtf where is this voice coming from.
From inside your soul realm.
What the,,is this hallucination. Is it because I am so alone so creatid a personality for myself, or is it that big sis aria s cooking's folt.

 it can make me hallucinat in a drime.
No host you are not hallucinating and this is not a dream.
 Okay now I understand why every one told me I am crazy because
I am crazy.
No host your not mad I'm real.
Yep I am mad.
Stop dening reality host your not mad.
And STOP Calling me a host.
Than what should I call you.
I have a name wait forget about my name what's your name
 no forget name what are you and where are you
 Host I am your system.


Host I am your system.
As soon as Ryan hard this he was stunned
Wait is this what I think it is.
Am i in novel and I am the protagonist no this has to be a lie right no obviously I am not just fictional character right.
No host this is real.
Stop that b******* right now obviously this is a novel and I am just a frictionl character dancing in the wims of a f****** nard and a stupid author. Wait come to think it rayn looked at his hands and feet a f****** reincarnation or is it a transmigration yep it is a transmigration I don't remember dieing and this body is not of a baby wait can this be a transmigration was big sis aria s cooking so bad it killed me or transmigrate me in here a saddar ran through Ryan's spine from his own conclusion.
it's scary 😨 big sis aria s cooking is scary.
Wait host why are you scarying your self with your own conclusions.
I told you stop calling me Host its unstiling as if some parasite is living inside my body and calling me Host I want to eat you.
Ok what is your name host.
Ryan it's Ryan .
Ok Ryan I am your system .
No this doesn't feel right system calling it's host by name 🫤 ok you can call me Host
Ok host.
So back to the topic where am I .
Your inside a dungeon host .
dungeon what is that and how can you tell. Dungeon's are crack's between dimensions and Dungeon's have different mana compared to ordinary mana .
O okay so I'm in a dungeon now yep I am in a novel. As Ryan looked around he looked at his hands and matard Hey I don't notice first but now that I look at my hands there different than my hands similar but different ha Wait I don't have any memory of this body so what am I suppose to do .
Actually i am the one blocking you're memory's host. Why ?
If you suddenly gain another person's memory you can have an existential crisis
You might not know who you truely are.
Are you a psychiatrist how do you know that is that your system function did I get a system who is good I psychology. And if I don't have any memory's then how am I going to survive hear. I don't know much but one thing I know about dungeon's is it's full of monsters.
Don't worry host I have detated no monsters will come this way and my functions are not just limited by psychology
I can do a lot more.
And you will get the memory s of this body but not at once.
Then how.
Well if you think of something and this body has related memories then you'll get them .
O okay so let's see what do I think about first o I get it is this guy a virgin.
The system was shocked is this the first thing you can think of it semd it's host really was a little crazy 😮💨


Ryan falt a little pain in his head as tried to know if this body s original owner was a virgin or not and then he found it
Yup this guy was a virgin ha I geast as Mach man this guy died a virgin that was painful
Host wour you not a virgin in the other word,
Why do you want to know that.
Nothing host I was just curious why your first question was ,is your bodies previous owner virgin or not.
Well it's iit's because I wanted to make sure what you said about relevant memory unlocking was true or not it's not because I wanted to know if this guy had a girlfriend or not it's it's really not that
O I see the system replayed in a spectacle voice
Why do you sound like that aren't you a system aren't you suppos to be a cold and indifferent machine
Na host I am not colde and indifferent I have feelings
What Ryan was shocked does system's have filing's
No host I have been given filing's
By who Ryan asked
My creator the author. The system replayed
What Ryan was shocked so I'm just a frictionl character dancing in the wims of the author
No host your not.
Than what you just said you were created by the author so isn't this conforming my theory.
No host the author is not a novel writer and you are not just a frictionl character
The author is a transcendantal being with unimaginable power and you are a real human with a system.
The author is real
Yes Host.
Is he the strongest being in the universe
No host there are others who are As strong or even stronger than the author.
Great he is not the strongest guy in the universe so I am not the chosen one the protagonist of the story great.
Host every one has there own story and Thay are the protagonist of there story
So in a cence you are the protagonist of this story.
O o a am okay I guess but I feel like something fishy here why would your creator the author help me or give me you the system
Host the author does not want to harm you but I can't tell you why I was giving to you yet but if you fulfill the necessary conditions you can get the answer
Fuck I haven't even been here for 10 minutes and I have to fulfill some necessary conditions to know why the fuck some all-powerful being wanted to f*** with my life. Yep my life and work are like inceptable the moment I open my eyes I have to work . Should I consider suicide maybe if i die I might go back .
Host you can't go back by dieing.
How do you know that.
It's in my database.
You have a datebase .
Yes.
So you know a lot
Yes.
Can you answer All of my questions.
It dependents. On what you're mood.
No host some data are excessibil others have necessary conditions you have to fulfill to know them . What conditions.
I don't know. Then what do you know.
A lot. Fu*k
I know cursing is not good
Yea you know only the useless stuff.


Host I know a lot of necessary knowledge that will be beneficial for you.
Yea .than why am I heare.
Host you can gain those memories if you want to know them just try to remember.
No I'm not taking about this body I'm talk about me me my soul reincarnation or transmigration stuff .
No host I don't have much information on that.
Why isn't my transmigration your author's doing or something.
No I host I don't have much information about your transmigration but I do know that it has nothing to do with this author.
Yea A's if you say that and I will believe you.
No host the author is not powerful enough to make someone transmigrate. it's in my database .
And your database gets it's data from who . the author so I am not going to believe that.
But don't worry if my life has tothe me anything is that the people that have power don't care much about the people that don't have power and when they do care it means that they have something to gain from them or they can be somehow used to gain some benefits or interests and A's the party that has no power in this case is me there's not much I can do about it. So why bother I will just not think about it and it will be like nothing is going on.
Host the author is not that bad.
Yea don't bother I don't care much so what to do next Yes let's understand whats going on and why is this guy inside a dungeon and why did he and the other 5 died here. Ryan tried to remember and again falt pain this time this time it was a little more intense than the other time and when he finished recalling he cursed out loud fu*k shit shit shit shit shit fuck what the hell why did this guy fu*k I am fucked yep I am fucked
The system was surprised it asked
Host what happened why are you so freaked out.
Freaked out you yea I am freaked out this guy pissed of a fucking protagonist .
Host can you share the memories with me.
What are you going to do with the wait you can't see the memories but you could block them.
I can see them but I need to have your permission.
O okay you can see them.
Host I have seen the memories and the previous owner of this body might have fought with a scion of the world
What is the scion of the world.
Host you have mate the necessary requirements for the knowledge about scions. Do you want to know them.
Yes but before that what wore the necessary requirements.
Host it was to interact with the Scion.
O but I haven't meet with a scion.
But you're body did so it meets the requirement host.
o than give me the knowledge


What the Ryan was again shocked
 He asked. hey system is the dungeon alive.
No host this dungeon is not alive.
So how is it trying to contact me if it's not even alive
Host some dungeon's have certain inheritance of some powerful people
And for someone to get this inheritance. Some conditions have to be met
Why are you suddenly giving another exposition?
Well, most likely you have met some conditions of some inheritance in this dungeon.
Haa why .. how did I meet some conditions of some inheritance I don't even know existed 2 minutes ago.
Is this your doing system?
No host, I don't do anything.
Did it suddenly out of nowhere wanted to contact me and give me something.
No host actually it was trying to contact you from the moment you opened your eye's .
I think it is also responsible for why the monsters of the dungeon are not coming here.
 The dungeon did that. I thought you were the one keeping the monsters away.
No host, I can't do that
What kind of useless system are you? you can't even do that. And you're supposed to be the creation of a being with unimaginable power.
Ryan mocked the system to see what the system would do.
Even though Ryan said he didn't care about why the author was helping him or what the author wanted from him.
He didn't like that someone was messing with his life and
 he couldn do nothing about it .
 It made him uneasy and fearful.
If what the system told him was true and the author was truly so powerful then even death might not be the end of his suffering.
He needed to be very careful and had to get as much information as he could.
He needed to see what kind of attitude the system and the author had tordes him.
What would they do if he angered them and how much would they tolerate him?
The system was enraged.
Host I am not given those kinds of functions and abilities
I have mainly the abilities to manage your abilities, make using your abilities easy and protect your soul from getting rejected by the world and some more .
Is that possible will the world reject me and try to kill me
No host the world will not kill you. To kill someone directly, the world will have to pay a enormous amount of price which is not a good deal considering how weak you are.
The world will probably imprison you in a dungeon. Because you're not from this world it won't have to pay that much of a price .
So if you weren't here then I would have to be stuck in this dungeon until I died .
No host actually the world woulden't notice you if you didn't use any soul related Powers and even if it did it wouldn't care that mach because you're too weak right now.
But in the future if you get stronger and start to affect the world's equilibrium then it will notice you and might try to vanish you to a dungeon.
But don't worry host in the future, even if you become strong enough to affect the balance of the world I will make sure the world doesn't find out that you're from another world.
Ha well I don't have any plans to become that strong or affect the balance of the world so I don't really care about it that much.
Well it's your choice host live your life as you see fit
Hmm
So tell me why the dungeon wants to contact me . In next moment Ryan hard a ding caim
Host eshu the trickster's remnant soul wants to speak with you, do you excepte or dennai.
Ok now who is this eshu and what's a remnant soul. And
Well I get harmed. If I except to speak with him.
Come on exposition giving system give me some exposition.
Host I am not a exposition giving system
The system was angry 😡 how can it's host be so rude. It kept giving it's host necessary information but it's host kept making fun of it.
Ryan was happy he could finally gaige some of the system's emotional boundaries.
 Okay system I am sorry I won't do that again.
The system was surprised, it thought. I don't think he would say sorry just like that.
Of course Ryan was not a stabran fool if you can plege someone just with some words even if it's not true. why would you not say it than.
pride what was that if you could get some benefits .
So system tell me well I get harmed if I agree to talk with this eshu guy's gost or something.
The system though we'll he said sorry so I can't be mad at him I well just forgive him this one's.
No host you won't get harmed because it's just a remnant soul. it's just some lingering will that can't do you any physical
Harm and I will be protecting your soul so it can't do anything to you.
I see than let's see what he wants .
Host do you except.
Yes I except.
Ryan falt a little dige and then a white light envelopet him and when he closed and opened his eyes.
He saw a middle aged man in a African style traditional grab looking at him with a little curiosity and anticipation in his eyes


The world revolves around balance.
balance is needed for life in the world to ensure the sustainability, resilience, and well-being of ecosystems, societies, and individuals. It requires careful consideration of interconnected systems and a commitment to promoting harmony and equity in all aspects of life.
But Balance is not something that is there in world . The world creates and maintains this balance.
But some people of the world and some forces out side the world don't want equilibrium in this world They don't want the world to prosper so so they bring chaos to disrupt the world from aciving equilibrium.
But world wants to keep it's balance so it creates scions
This scions are given fates where they will eventually cross paths with the people that are bringing chaos to the world and somehow or someway the world will make sure they clash with each other eventually bring an end to the Chaos bringers
To ensure that the scions acive ther dastany the world will blas's them with extreme luck opportunities and companion's that will help them acive there dastany.
Scions are rear and far between in this worlds history but there have been sightings of 2 or more scions in one period of essentially the More chaotic the time the more scions are born .
All Scions are not given the same level of opportunities the stronger their destined enemy the stronger their fate becomes the More the world gives them opportunities
In history there have been many scions over the the year's and there fate have been given a ranking from lowest to highest.
The rankings are S ,SS, SSS and X rank
But every thing has a good side and bad side. To ensure that the scions active there dastany the world will sometimes make extremely cruel decision's it will make the scions go thru extreme hardships make there Loved one safar in the hands of there adversary sometimes even getting killed by them and more
And the scions can't do nothing except getting stronger.
 because there greatest strength their fate is also there curse fate is the medium that lates the world control the scions
Most of the scions die fulfilling there destiny not because they had to but because the world willd it to be that way
Those who survive survive because world has some use for them or because they don't have much power to shake the world's balance .
The world can do this because of the fate that the world gives the scions the stronger the fate the more the world can control them.
The world does this because after scions active there dastany and bring balance to the world They themselves become an anomaly that threatens the balance of the world because of how powerful They have become but unlike other Chaos bringers the world has control over the scions because of their fate so it preamtavly trys to dispose them and most of the time world sacsides.
Because most of the scions teind to have the mentality of sacrificing themselves for the greater good .
But there's always some anomaly's in the world some scions have defied there fate of being a disposable tool for the world and survived their fate.
But the relevant information is not accessible to you Host because you have not met the necessary requirement.
Ryan was stand hold on hold on with a minute that was a lot more. than what I was expecting.
I mean come on this is just the 6th chapter where did all that exposition come from .
What are you thinking about host.
Nothing nothing anyway that was a lot of information I don't think the world would be so cruel.
The world is not cruel host it's just ensuring it's survival just like how humans and other living creatures kill and Hunt to ensure there survival.
Wow that's quite the intense statement your making system.
By the way your a system right so haven't you Shone me my attribute palel or something like that.
Before that Host you have a notification someone what's to contact you.
Who.
The dungeon host.


After telling the prophecy, Eshu locked at the young man. He could see confusion doubt and skepticism in the young Man's eyes.
After contemplating for a while Ryan asked is the prophecy really talking about me.
I don't have any proof s or concrete evidence but my intuition tells me that it's probably you and at my level intuitions are more accurate than real proof. even thou this is my soul fragment s intuition. it still is more likely to be accurate rather than inaccurate.
 Ok ryan thought let's just analyze and see
 In a world shrouded in questions deep,
Where fates entwine, from strong to weak,
A young man steps from distant lands,
His fate unknown,
The first part is talking about the world and how everyone has fate's , but what about the dentist land part is it talking about me being from another world or something probably yea and fate unknown part is according to eshu it's me having no fate?
This system also speculated the same thing so it probably is true but what's with the burden and stuff. I don't think I have burden like that and why the world unite to fight me I knew I was awesome in my Heart but the whole world uniting against me yea that's a little too much even for me. And what's with the last part I don't even know what it's talking about.
Hey system do you know what the last part is talking about.
You have to achieve the necessary requirements for the knowledge your asking for host.
Yea what's the necessary requirement .
I don't know host.
Fu*k ….
Looking at the young Man's sauwer face as if he had swallowed a lemon eshu said in a plan tone if you really are the one The prophecy is talking about then the time is about to change. the world will become chaotic and,
Wait Ryan itarapted eshu and said what if I die.
What.
What if I die and don't go outside this dungeon.
I mean dungeons are not inside the world right.
Yes.
So if I wore to die here the prophecy won't come true right
Hearing Ryan, Eshu was visibly stunned and looked at as if to ask are you crazy.
Looking at eshus stunned gaze Ryan replied will I don't want to go out and face the whole world just so I can get killed by them.
Even thou I don't know how but if I am here that probably means I died in earth so what's the point if I die a second time maybe I will have a better chance in the next life I get Ryan thought in his heart .
It's not that simple eshu said.
What's the problem Ryan asked.
What about your Loved one's.
I don't have any.
Am what about your enemy's that tried to kill you .
I forgive them because of my generosity .
I mean I am not the one that got killed by them so what does it have to do with me Ryan thought.
Eshu was exasperated why do you want to die so badly.
Because I don't want to die by someone else's hands and why does it feels like you want me to live so much. I mean I am suppose to be the sign of the start of the end of your world right.
Eshu sighed and spoke your arrival is the sign of the end but you are not the end
I one's though so too that way but someone told me that your one of the way's for the world to be saved.
You mean I can be the reason the world can survive.
One of them but yes.
I don't want to save the world.
Why not.
Why would I save a world that will try to get me killed don't you have common sense or something


Ryan saw a man in his 30s. he was of avarige height. His skin tone was dark. He had black hair and dark eyes. He was healthy and fit but not overly muscular.
For a moment Ryan thought he was back in earth because the man was to mach similar to some of his African friend's .
The man was wearing a garment with intricate embroidery or designs around the neckline and sleeves. It looked loose and fit.
Ryan felt like asking if this man before him was from earth his home. Did he find a fallo earth ling right after transmigrating to this world.
But he didn't ask because of how the man was looking at him.
It was not how a fallo countryman looked at another fallo countryman. It was something else.
 Ryan couldn't understand what it was but he knew it was not a good one.
The man kept staring at him like he was a rare animal about to become extinct.
Amm Ryan hesitatingly began who are you and why do you want to talk with me.
The man still didn't answer and kept staring at him.
Ryan felt uneasy he probed in side his mind. Hey system, are you there?
Yes, host I am here .
Ryan felt a little better, even though he didn't trust the system that didn't mean he didn't need it.
The system was the only thing that could do something if this man wanted to harm him.
The man seemed to sense something as he started speaking.
I never thought I would say this but the legend's wear actually right , the prophecy was really true .
Ryan was bewildered as he thought what, what legend and what prophecy is this man high on something.
 what why is he talking about legend and prophecy? Is he a delusional kid or something?
Ryan asked the system. Hey system, is there something wrong with this guy's head?
How would I know I am just your system?
Ryan felt like the system was hiding something but before he could think further about it the man Spoke up.
I am eshu, people one's called me eshu the trickster I one's tricked conentlas enemy's in the war of the realms and was the last of the garden's to parish in the war.
Now I truly feel how far away those times really were, because I never thought I'd get to see the prophecy become reality.
What. Ryan felt a little vexed .
Hey why does it feels like this guy is bragging. It feels like I am looking at a old man who loves to tell children about his exploits of his youth .
Ryan looked at the Man with a complected emotions and a little vigilance in his eyes.
Sensing Ryan's gaze, Eshu smiled and said don't worry fateless one I can't harm you .
Hearing that Ryan's vigilance increased if someone couldn't harm you Thay wouldn't say it out loud.
Only someone that could or possibly would harm you will say that .
Sensing that his words had only succeeded making Ryan more vigilant, Eshu felt a little querias.
He thought why's this guy so vigilant? This is just a weak soul fragment will and I can feel something strong protecting his soul, so what is he afraid of?"
Ryan asked the system hey system can he really not harm me .
The system replayed yes he really can't harm you.
Ok then let's ask him some questions and see.
Ryan took a deep breath, calmed down and looked at the middle aged old man.
Who are you .
I told you I am eshu the trickster I one's tricked.
Ok ok stop I understand that you are one's a great trickster and tricked many people but why did you want to meet me?
Eshu was visibly displeased; he was one's a hero, a guardian , a man that many people would want to meet but this person acted like he was a nobody bothering him for something.
Ryan realized his words might have wounded this middle aged old man's praid he hardly said, " I mean , why did you suddenly wanted to meet me?" I'm just curious .
Eshu, locking at Ryan's curious expression, sighed and thought even if I'm displeased I can't do anything to him and besais he is right . He should be curious why I wanted to meet him.
Eshu choghfet to put away his displeased expression and said I wanted to meet the prophesied fateless one and see if you wore truly the one that the dungeon chose to bistou upon the ainsaint power .
Ryan was puzzled when he heard the first part of that middle aged but old in Heart man's words and when he heard the last part he falt again puzzled.
He said dungeon chose me you don't so your not the owner of this dungeon and what's with that way of calling me and what do I have to do with the prophecy youre talking about ?
Eshu replied I am not the owner of the dungeon I don't even know if this dungeon has a owner or not.
Looking at the young Man's ode expression eshu said as the former user of this ainsaint power I could have a fragment of my soul lingering in this dungeon with the ainsaint power and see who will be my succer and might Impart them with some of my knowledge about this power .
But I never could see or meet with the prophecyed fateless one .
Wait wait wait wait wait Ryan interrupted the Man with a question.
Why do you keep calling me fateless one what does that even mean.
With this soul remnant I can't do much but I can use some of my power for some purposes that doesn't strain me Mach.
 with that power I have to doduest that you do not possess any fate or at least now you don't after you miraculously healed from your injuries and survived death.
And according to an ancient prophecy when the fateless one arrives the prophecy will start to get fulfilled.
I don't have any fate. Having listened to the system's exposition about saions and destiny rayn understood that not having a fate in this world was abnormal at that moment. Ryan couldn't help but ask the system in his heart.
System, do I not have a fate?
The system replied host I don't have any fate seeing power's but it's probably true toe your possessing a body of this worlds human but your soul is not from this world
And fate is intrically connected with someone's soul so it might be possible that you don't have a fate in this world.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
The system replied I don't know .
Ryan sighed and thought the system is not omnipotent it doesn't know everything and even if it does i have to fulfill some necessary requirement to know the knowledge.
Ryan looked at the Man and asked you talked about a prophecy. What is it? Can you tell me?
Eshu replied I can tell you that prophecy is about a war and possibly the end of the world.
Ryan was shocked did his timeine had to be so bad he transmigrated half an hour ago and world was about to end.
No that can't be true he had to dispel this thought. He had to know the prophecy than decide .
Ryan looked at the middle aged but old hearted man and asked can you tell me the prophecy.
I can tell you but if you know that prophecy than your fate wait you don't have a fate so it won't matter.
Ryan's lips twitched and he claimed himself.
Eshu said in a serious voice listen up this is the ancient prophecy.
In a world shrouded in questions deep,
Where fates entwine, from strong to weak,
A young man steps from distant lands,
His fate unknown, but guilt in hands.
For his arrival heralds war's grim call,
Realms unite, to see him fall,
Branded villain, burdened with blame,
Yet in his heart, burns a different flame.
For before the clash of realms begins,
Secret powers stir, beneath the din,
Invoked by those who seek to gain,
The ancient gifts that in shadows reign.
So let the prophecy unfold,
In whispers ancient, tales untold,
For fate's design, a tangled skein,
Where heroes rise, and worlds attain.


Wtf Ryan was stupefied. What the hell .
What's up with these power's and what do you mean by cheater? I am not a cheater.
Are you implying that I cheated on my girlfriend because I really definitely didn't.
I mean how can I when I don't even have a girlfriend.
I don't even cheat on my imaginary one.
Host it's not that. It's a title that explains what kind of power you have gained and what its nature is.
So I have gotten the power to cheat on my girlfriend.
That's not how, why do you think that way you don't even have a girlfriend.
Ouch that Hurt.
I'm sorry host.
No it's ok it's ok you're not the first one to hurt me where it hurts the most.
But no wonder the world will unite against me if I have this kind of power then it should really want to kill me.
About that .Why don't you seal your memories about that prophecy?
Why Ryan was vigilant, why would the system want to seal his memories? Was there something that the system didn't want him to know?
Host you might not have a fate so the world might not be able to find out with fate. but if you know one of it's secrets it will definitely come from a connection with you normally it wouldn't matter how ever you're not from this world so this connection might be a way to find you.
Ryan was vigilant he could feel something was not right with the system he asked why wouldn't it find out if you seal my memories then.
Host you're inside a dungeon now and the world will not feel anything from you because you not having a fate but when you go out it might detect you it can't see you but feel you.
It might not be interested in you for now but if the prophecy is right then a connection between you and the world might not be a good idea.
Yea that might be a problem but hey didn't that eshu guy say I don't have a fate so nothing will happen did he not realize or did he not know .
Host you don't understand but you should really not think of that man as an ordinary man remember he said he was known as eshu the trickster shouldn't a trickster's main purpose be tricking people.
Yes I forgot about that now that I think about it he was really odd should a trickster really be like that .
Host sealing your memory is for the best before we find out more about it.
If you seal my memory, what will you seal and when will I get them back?
host I will seal your memories of that eshu guy and the prophecy you will remember them when you're strong enough or the situation is right .
Ryan didn't like to have his memories sealed and he also knew that the system was not truet at least not all of it. but he couldn't risk it, okay you can do it.
Ok host.
Ryan felt a little pain in his head. He closed his eyes and he could feel he was forgetting some of his memories. It didn't feel good.
Ryan opened his eyes and he could feel he forgot something.
Hey system, what did I forget?
You'll have to fulfill the necessary requirement to get your memories back.
What are the necessary requirements?
Become strong enough.
Haa Ryan didn't expect the system to give him the answer so easy Le but it was still.
He felt the system's answer was like not giving an answer.
So what do I do now , looking around Ryan thought yea before how do I get out of here .
Hey, how do I get out of here?
Host the dungeon well, close in 30 minutes or less and you will get exact outside .
Oh well I have half an hour locked at the corpses of the 5 unlucky student's he sighed hope you have a better life next time.
System well there corpse's get exact outside too.
No there dead the dungeon won't exact them .
 So how can I bring them out of the dungeon?
You have a dimensional storage watch on your left hand.
What is is the watch Ryan looked at his left hand a black watch with white stripes on his wrist is this a dimensional whatever.
Not whatever it's a dimensional storage watch it should be able to house 6 to 7 of average human bodies.
Is this for real, how does this even work.
You have to open the lit on the watch and put ,, no no I am not talking about that I mean how does it store staff in this small watch and will it be heavy if I put something in it.
No .
Why?
Magic.
Magic ha that's quite convenient.you used to give long expositions so now why is it just magic did the author didn't know what to write and just wrote magic for the sake of it.
As he said that he 1 by 1 put all the corpse's into his dimensional storage watch.
Dungeon is showing space fluctuations you might not have much time left here.
Oh don't change the subject as Ryan was about to scold the system and the author for not having enough creativity.
He saw a broken phone. Hey, what's a phone doing here and why is it broken?
 Ryan thought do phone's work in a dungeon; he tried to reach it to the other Ryan's memories to see what he could find.
Ryan found out that yes phone's did work in dungeons but not the regular ones but this was not a regular phone it was the phone that the academy provided the students with. But why is it broken? He suddenly recalled a memory .
A white haired young man was picking up a phone from behind a breik and then everything got dark.
Haa that was the last thing the other Ryan saw before he died and the Man was kavin right so he broke the phone but why. What was the phone doing there anyway.
Before he could think farther, the system called out that the dungeon is about to be closed.
Ryan suddenly felt something pulling him. He felt weightless for a moment, and then he felt ground under his feet .
Ryan had finally stepped foot in a new world.🫣


Ryan looked at eshu who was radiating a gloomy aura and spoke with a skeptical tone of voice. Look I understand that you don't want your world to Perish and I have no problem with that in fact if possible I would like to see your world survive why would I want to see billions of people die I am not a Heartless person but I am not a saint too I don't and I won't sacrifice my life for a world that will make me there enemy.
I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing but a sailfish heart .
Eshu sighed he knew what Ryan was talking about and in some part he agreed with him but still he couldn't let all those sacrifice's go to waist if he could give the world one more Way to survive he would do anything to do it.
Ryan suddenly hard the system say .
Host I don't think you should comet suicide.
Why ?
Host you don't know what will happen if you die a second time this is not your original world so if you die and the world gets your soul then it will realize your not from this world so it might just torcher your soul to eternity or destroy it so you will truly die than you never do anything else but disappear.
Ryan imagined about what the system saied and couldn't help but feel terrified .
The system continued and you don't know who or why you are here so will it be wish to commit suicide at this time.
 Ryan realized his current situation and couldn't help but feel that committing suicide is a bad idea.
And host if you think about it carefully if the prophecy really is talking about you then you will have so much power that the world will have to be untitled to do something about you and the prophecy doesn't manson you being defeated so it means the world might not be able to beat you host.
Hmm you're right if the world will unite against me that definitely means I will be someone that the world can't beat with a saion or two.
But It files fishy you know the More I listen to your words the More I feel like it's a trap..
The best traps are those where the parson knows it's a trap but can't help but fall into it.
And now you're not even denying that it is a trap and those words sound familiar I have heard those words before in my previous life.
It's an art of warfare recorded in my database host.
"The only way to get out of a trap is to act without restraint. You can't solve a problem with the same mindset that created it." -
This is a quote from one of the guineas of my world Albert Einstein and I think it fits perfectly with my Courant condition.
Ryan looked at eshu who had a contemplating face and said ok I will not commit suicide because I am a magnanimous parson with a big heart I can't see a world's dimes and do nothing about it so I will have to do something but for that I need power I wonder where can I get that power.
Eshu was visibly stunned you agreed to do something will that's good and you will get the ainsaint power of the dungeon but before that I need to give you a warning.
Originally I wanted to give some of my experiences to the new owner who will get the power but you being the prophecyed fateless I couldn't help but think about something else.
Something's you have to keep in mind is that no matter how powerful this ainsaint power's are they're ultimately not your own so they will have a lot of side effects and one of the worst is that they will change you. the more you use it the More powerful this ainsaint power's become but at same time the more obvious the said effects become.
This power's will try to change you and you have to resist. if you give into your digiars and stop resisting then you will become a monster.
Most people I knew that had these power's become monster's because they couldn't control and give in. They died not from an enemy but from there lack of control.
Ryan asked really. Did you change.
Yes yes I did that's why I'm giving you so much warning.
O I will have to be careful then. so how do I get this power .
Looking at Ryan eshu knew that he didn't give much care to his warning well you'll understand it i hope if not then…
Ryan saw eshu s body saturated to disinterested into lite particles and started to approaching towards him he hard a ding in his mind. host the an ancient power is trying to make a concession with you do you accept.
Can I denie .
Yes.
I accept.
He saw the light particles entire his body he closed his eyes and he could feel a power he didn't have a moment ago.
And when he opened his eyes, he could see the dimly lit corridor In Front of him.
He was back.
System how do I check my power.
Host just say show me status window.
Ok you could have just done it without me telling that. Ok fine I'll say it

In the capital city of Luminara, there exists a prestigious institution known as the Solarium Academy.Solarium Academy is renowned throughout Solstaria as a center of magical scholarship and enlightenment. Situated within the heart of Luminara, the academy's grand campus sprawls across meticulously landscaped grounds, with towering spires reaching toward the sky. Its architecture blends classical elegance with magical enchantment, reflecting the kingdom's rich history and dedication to the arcane arts.
Today was the day that the students from Year one class 1 to 5 student's were entering a dungeon for the first time.
Many of them had already experienced a dungeon before due to having a prestigious and influential family background.
But even then it was minimal just enough to know what to expect.
This was not only because the Dungeon's were dangerous no if that was all there was Manny ways that could solve the problem , like going to a lower tier dungeon with many bodyguard s and servant's . as it's said " for the rich .if a problem could be solved by money then it's not a problem "
But no the problem was not with the dungeon nor the bodyguards the problem was with the young boy's and girls. You see the dungeon has a different mana compared to ordinary mana in the world .
The human body is specially sensitive to foreign mana when they are young and haven't created a mana core .
Even the people who have less than A rank mana core don't dare stay in a dungeon for more than a week.
Only the delvers that have rank A and above can stay in a dungeon for more than a month. No matter how professint humanity becomes in using mana.
At the end of the day it's still a foreign substance just like water and oxygen.
Just like to much oxygen in the atmosphere can be harmful to humans if someone swallowed large amount of water they can suffocate to death.
To much mana that is not processed by the world will have adverse effects it might cohes unknown mutation and other effects.
But the effects becomes minimal after the age of 14 so the world health care organizations opinion is ,if someone wants to go in a dungeon their minimum age should be 15 but 16 is more preferable.
And the students in the first year of the solarium academy are mostly 16 or order so for them experiencing this E rank dungeon is going to be a experience of a lifetime that many of them will remember as there true first experience in a dungeon.
This was very exciting for the students but at the same time a very stressful time for the teachers. As this was the first time for Manny of the students they will be excited and impulsive. There would be no order and the safety of the students could be jeopardized if something unexpected happened.
In Front of the dungeon gate the staff of the academy was checking and monitoring all the necessary recruitment s for the safety of the students . they needed to be extra careful because the Dungeon's rank was too lowe so The teacher's and the professor's could not keep an eye on the students personally.
To ensure safety the senior students who are eligible for the dungeons Rank and are strong enough will accompany the students in batches of 6 .
2 senior students and 4 first year students.
psychiatrist DoctorGabriel Sterling approached teacher Sarlin evergreen who was overseeing the perp parson for the dungeon .
Standing in front of the dungeon she was a young lady in her 20s. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, voluptuous but a strong physic with fair skin.
Hey Miss Sarlin, how are you?
O come on Gabriel drop the miss but yes I am fine .
You don't look that fine to me though .
Sigh.. why are you asking the obvious questions when you know the answer .
Of course I am not fine. It's there first time I feel a little worried.
Yeah the first time we all remember it I don't think I can forget what my girlfriend did to .
Shut up you idiot I am not talking about that first time how can you make jokes in Such a time. .
Come on, relax your way too much worried 😁 .
How can I relax knowing what's going to happen next?
Yeah well we all have been there you know it's necessary for them for their future it's unavoidable.
Sigh… Sarlin sighed she knew gabriel was telling the truth but it still felt a little worried.
She said I still remember that day when the first time I stepped in a dungeon the discomfortING air, the first time killing a monster, the blood, the smell of iron in the air, the nojiea I can still recall everything vividly.
When Gabriel Saw sarlins state he sighed and spoke up well
After today there worldview will change .
Yes.
Sarlin fale silent.
Do you have any good students you're very confident in for the dungeon?
Sarlin locked at Gabriel she knew he was trying to divert the topic to her students, she knew him he was a friend, a very understanding friend so she said.
Yes there are many but I am confident in one in particular.
Just then someone else started approaching them.
Eldryn Darkwood, a man in his 20s also an academy teacher.
Hey miss sarlin Dr Gabriel what are you discussing let me in on it too.
A frown appearad in Sarlins face. She didn't like this guy. He was good looking but argent and a little conceited. His talent wasn't bad but he was a little too conceited for Sarlins' taste.
Looking at the frown on sarlins face Gabriel though we'll I can see she doesn't like him that much. So he spoke.
We were just discussing how it's the first time for the students in a dungeon and who Sarlin thinks might have the best chance of clearing it. Lisening to.
 Doctor Gabriel Eldryn had a thoughtful expression.
He spoke up. I would also like to know which family's youngster's do you think will be able to clear the dungeon this time.
Sarlins' frown depende she responded I think Kevin stone .
Who that barbarian from that cursed village Eldryn scoffed and spoke with a hint of disdain in his voice. I know you were the one that rescued him from there. And you might have been blinded by piti for him but to think you would say
You think that barbarian from the cursed village can have a better chance than the elite education given children of Noble families is just plain stupidity .
Sarlin replied with a aggressive Stan's, and you thinking that a man like you who when in trouble doesn't have anything but a family name to cling on to a man who doesn't know what hard work is ,who doesn't know what being a teacher really means ,can talk about a extremely hardworking and talented boy like Kevin then your a fool.
Both of them relisted their aura of a mage with mana core's, of Rank A .and the Surroundings became quite it looked like they were about to fight right there and then.
Right then a voice with authority was heard both of you stand down.


Thaddeus Ironwood, the Vice Director of Solarium Academy . With his imposing stature and a beard as rugged as the mountains of the northern range, Thaddeus commands respect and authority wherever he goes.A seasoned warrior-mage, Thaddeus honed his skills on the battlefield before transitioning to the world of academia. His weathered face tells tales of battles fought and victories won, but his eyes gleam with the wisdom of a scholar who has delved into the deepest mysteries of magic.
But now his face had a frown.
He arrived in front of the dungeon gate looking at Sarlin and Eldryn with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Sigh he sighed and spoke Why do you have to cause Such a big commotion in front of the dungeon gate in a time like this.
Vice director I Sarlin was trying to explain but. The director cut her off.
Look I know you two have a history and you two don't like each other much now but that is something private but this is the academy ground's . Don't bring your private matter here. Don't act like children. Your adults behave like one. You're teachers behave like teachers . Become a good role model for the students. Vice director Thaddeus looked both Sarlin and Eldryn in the eyes and said " You two are talented. I know that your More talented than me in my youth .
So don't waste it like this.
Both of them said sorry to the vice director.
Don't be sorry learn from your mistakes .
That's the sign of a smart man or woman.
Yes sir.
I will keep that in mind Sir.
Thaddeus smiled good now he looked at the thread parson Doctor Gabriel .
Sorry doctor Gabriel, you had to see that.
No no you don't have to be sorry it was nothing.
Eldryn looked at Sarlin one more time and then said to the vice director I will excuse myself.
Ok .
Thaddeus looked at Eldryn's departing feger and then looked at Sarlin and asked is everything ready.
Sarlin responded Yes.
Good. The senior students that were selected by the student council.
There in the resting building.
Are the group's been finalized.
Teacher Eldryn is the one incharge of that. . don't he informed you earlier?
No he came, argued you scolded us and then he left.
Sigh Thaddeus sighed again why does this feels more taxing than the battlefield .
Thaddeus took out his phone and called Eldryn.
"The number your calling is currently busy now. please call "
His number is busy.
Sigh should I just take retirement but that god-damned director won't let me sigh, 😮💨
Eldryn was talking to someone in the phone. The other parson was asking him a question.
Are you sure about this.
Eldryn replied Yes.
Ok . Please put the group's according to the plan that was given to you. And give the wrong phone to Ryan Davies .
Are They fully informed? Eldryn asked.
Yes.
Can they handle that barbarian by themselves.
Yes it shouldn't be a problem to make sure he doesn't use mana in his life again.
Ok
Call End .
Eldryn looked at the screen of his now dark phone he could see his reflection
There was a ruthless glint in his eyes.
The screen lit up again another call.
Hello, yes sir.
Yes group's are ready.
Yes sir I am coming.
Ok .
Call End.
In front of the gate of the dungeon.
Sarlin was looking at the students there were 10 group's .
at first 3 groups would enter and then 3 and then 4 .
Doctor Gabriel was beside her asked who were you thinking about.
Sarlin looked at the students and pointed to one.
There a young man with white hair and dark eyes was with two girls chatting animatedly.
Gabriel asked can I meet him.
Why.
I just want to know him.
Ok
She shouted Kevin.
Kevin who was chatting with the girls paused looked at where Sarlin and Gabriel was said something to the girls and spirited towards them.
Sis why did you call me.
How many times did I tell you not to call me sis in public.
Sorry sorry Kevin apologized with a awkward smile and said miss Sarlin, do you need something?"
Sigh Sarlin sighed softly and said no I just wanted to introduce you to someone.
Who saying that Kevin locked at the Man behind Sarlin he was of average height had black hair and wearing glasses like a doctor.
Pointing at the Man behind her Sarlin said this is Doctor Gabriel sterling, a greatly appreciated psychiatrist and my friend.
Hi saying that Gabriel put his right hand forward for a handshake.
Putting his own right hand forward meeting and grasping the other Man's hand in a handshake Kevin replied hi I am Kevin stone.
Gabriel smiled and said
I have heard lots of praises of you from Sarlin.
Looking at the hand that was grabbing his own Kevin replied while thinking is it mana that I'm filling from his hand.
Looking at where Kevin was looking Gabriel let go of Kevin's hand and said with a smile I hope you can clear the dungeon well.
Okay while saying that Kevin locked at Sarlin.
Sarlin responded ok good luck remember what I said and always be vigilant ok .
Ok.
Then you can go now.
Looking at Kevin's departing feger Gabriel said not bad .
Yea .
10 minutes later the dungeon was ready to be explored.
Thaddeus In Front of the dungeon gate looking at the students vice director Thaddeus spoke with authority.
this is your first time entering a dungeon. Do not be overly excited, stay in order if something comes up, consult with the senior students, accept their advice and work as a team. If something happens use your dungeon watch or phone to sand distress signals to other groups.
OK
Ok , students shouted back.
Good .
The staff then ask the 3 groups to come forward according to the plan.
Than 1 by 1 the group's entered the dungeon.
2 and a half hours later the staff suddenly detated an anomaly in the Dungeon's signal .
They hurriedly called out to the teachers that Ware here.
Sarlin responded first being the closest to the dungeon followed by Eldryn.
What happened.
We don't know the dungeon suddenly became unstable.
Why did you detect anything?
Yes according to the energy signature it suddenly plummeted down like it was sucked away somewhere.
The dungeon it's another staff shouted.
It's what.
It's about to exact everyone.
The Dungeon gate flashed and 13 students were standing there outside the dungeon gate looking confused and shocked.
Seeing this Sarlins' heart skipped a beat why is there 5 student's missing were they trapped in the dungeon and who is the student that is covered in blood looking at at him closely Sarlin found out he was extremely pale it looked like someone had drained all the blood of his body looking at his face Sarlin found out isn't that.
 Ryan Davies,😱


Looking at who Ryan's finger was pointing everyone was shocked.
Kevin , Kevin stone how could that be how can Kevin kill students in a dungeon. That's what everyone thought.
Eldryn was about to say something when someone else spoke up .
Student Ryan is this a prank saying that someone else came in front of Ryan .
When Ryan looked it was the blonde beauty.
Haa she is Hot 🔥 Ryan thought.
But hot or not blondes are stupid thinking that he nodded to himself.
Looking at how Ryan was looking at her she sculled hey why is this kid looking at her like that in a time like this and , Why is he nodding like that.
Student Ryan I am asking you is this a prank.
With a pezeld look in his face Ryan asked why are you guys assume I am joking or pranking you guys.
Do I joke or prank you often ? Why don't I have any memories of that?
Because when I look at you I don't see any expression that would suggest your companion's died or got killed in a dungeon by someone.
Well it's not like he killed me or my friends it was the previous owner of this body but I can't say that to you can I Ryan thought.
Well looking at Kevin who was looking at him as if seeing a ghost Ryan thought I did say I don't care about what happened to the previous owner of this body but this is a good opportunity to take revenge right I mean I don't have to but if I can then Why not. I mean I still have a conscience.
So looking back at Sarlin he said miss Sarlin I don't think you have your priorities right I mean come on 5 of your students died in a dungeon no no They were killed by a lunatic psychopathic murderer and your here saying I am joking with you because I don't have the expression you except. What you want me to be terrified or want me to break down mentally in that case sorry to disappoint you but you won't get that from me.
Listening to what Ryan said, Sarlins' face became glumly but she couldn't argue with that but she couldn't believe that. how could Kevin do that? She knew he could never do something like that so she said.
How can you accuse someone of killing do you  have proof . And Why would Kevin kill fellow students in a dungeon?
And how would he find out where your group were in the dungeon.
And how can Kevin, a first year student, kill or harm students of 2nd year .
Am I stupid or is she dumb thought Ryan? Why can't I understand her logic.
Why is she asking me all those questions aren't I suppose to be the victim here.
Beside Sarlin, Eldryn who was equally confused asked Sarlin, why are you asking him that?
Because I know Kevin won't do something like that.
Haa listening to what she said both Ryan and Eldryn were even more shocked.
Eldryn thought that's why she was acting like that no this is not like her what's wrong with her .
Ryan thought yeap I knew it all blonde's have only beauty no brain .
At this time someone put a hand on Kevin's shoulder and asked Kevin is what student Ryan was saying is true.
Hearing that everyone looked at the Man behind Kevin it was Gabriel

Kevin jerked back and looked at Gabriel
He thought hey when did he come so close to me I don't even sense it.
With a polite jasher Gabriel said Kevin you have to answer this is what Ryan said true.
Yes Kevin Sarlin said from behind Gabriel tell us it's a lie of course you wouldn't do something like that right.
Eldryn just looked at Kevin with a questioning look on his face.
O and Ryan he was.
I wonder if there's any anime in this world.
 Seeing that everyone was looking at him Kevin became a little flustered but looking at Sarlin he calmed down and spoke.
We, i got a distress signal from Lare's phone  so I wanted to help. I asked my group to go and help but they didn't want to go and said that I could go alone if I wanted to.
Hearing that everyone looked at Kevin's group's other members.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them
There face became pale and They started pointing fingers at each other


Ryan opened his eyes hmm he thought hey there's so many people here who are they he thought for a moment and tried to recall what was going on here who wore the people.
He recalled something hey that blonde beauty is miss Sarlin right and that Gray haired Man is mister Eldryn right and the other people who are they.
he tried to recall wait those guys should be the staff but they're name is not known to the previous owner of this body. He started looking around and saw someone that white haired boy should be Kevin stone right.
He looked at Kevin. Kevin looked like he was looking at a ghost. He was also looking at him and he was not the only one .
One by one every one started looking at Ryan. Why is everyone staring at me is there something on my face.
Suddenly he saw some one coming towards him. It was the gray haired Eldryn dark wood or something right .
Eldryn looking at Ryan Davies's state had a deep frown on his face he was having a very bad premaneson.
In deep voice he asked student Ryan Davies's Why is your state like this and where are the other students that were with you?
Ryan had a questioning expression my state ? looking at where the teacher was looking he also looked at his hands and chest and body holy shit, he cursed.
 Why is there so much blood wtf who's blood is this.
Oh wait it's my blood this body was stabbed in the Hart by that guy so the blood is from that but so much blood how am I still alive if l Lost so much blood. 🤔
Looking at Ryan who had a shocked expression looking like he didn't have a dam clue who the blood belong to and then seeing him contemplating like he was looking for the meaning of life itself.
Eldryn had a very dark look on his face .
Ryan he shouted with woke Ryan from his contomplasoin .
Looking at Ryan he asked i asked you what is this blood on you and where are the other students that were with you.
There died and this is my blood.
Every one was shocked the students the teachers everyone.
The students were shocked because they never thought there fallo class mate's would die in the dungeon They were looking forward to going for so long.
The teachers however were shocked because of a defrant reason for them death in a dungeon was not a new thing that would shock them but what did shock them however was that students would die in a E rank dungeon having senior students protection.
An E rank dungeon really didn't have much monsters that could harm students seriously or kill them while having senior students protecting them . Not to mention that the dungeon was checked and properly condisowned for the students that every floor of the dungeon would have only 5 goblins and other small monsters like slime and Such.
so the teachers couldn't believe that 5 student's with 2 of them being senior students could die in Such a place.
Eldryn was also shocked with glumly face and he asked are you joking student Ryan?
Why would I joke with you do I know you.
Eldryn asked with a disbelief in his face how.
How I mean why would I joke with you you are not.
No no no Eldryn entrapped. I am asking how they died, is there a new monster in the dungeon or is it something else .
Monster no not a monster a human killed them .
Who . Eldryn asked with a very bad premaneson in his heart.
That guy saying that Ryan pointed at someone .
When everyone looked at where he was pointing They were shocked because it was Kevin stone.,😱


Ein dumpfes Klopfen hallt durch das schäbige Zimmer. Die schwachen Strahlen der Morgensonne brechen durch die zerschlissenen Vorhänge, streifen über staubige Möbel und bleiben schließlich auf einem jungen Mann liegen, der halb unter seiner Decke vergraben liegt.
Sein rabenschwarzes Haar steht im direkten Kontrast zu seinen goldglühenden Augen, die im Moment noch hinter geschlossenen Lidern verborgen sind. Sein Bett knarrt protestierend, als er sich umdreht, den Kopf tiefer ins Kissen drückt und versucht, das nun lautere Klopfen zu ignorieren.
"Lumen Eldareth!" Die schrille Stimme seiner älteren Vermieterin durchdringt die dünnen Wände, genervt wie gewohnt.
"Mach auf! Die Helden von Nirgendwo sind da!"
Lumen seufzt tief, seine Schultern heben und senken sich träge. Er zieht sich die Decke über den Kopf und murmelt: "Kann die alte Hexe nicht einfach tot umfallen und mich weiterschlafen lassen?"
Das Klopfen wird energischer, schwerer. Eine tiefere Stimme ersetzt die der Vermieterin.
"Schon gut, ich komme ja."
Mit einer Mischung aus Genervtheit und Resignation schwingt sich Lumen aus dem Bett. Seine goldenen Augen glühen schwach im dämmrigen Licht, als er auf die Tür zugeht. Seine Schritte sind langsam, fast schleppend.
Er öffnet die Tür einen Spalt – genug, um nicht das faltige Gesicht seiner Vermieterin, sondern einen großen, breit gebauten Mann in Militäruniform zu sehen. Der Anblick lässt Lumen erstarren.
Er realisiert es sofort: Seine Vermieterin meinte das Militär, als sie von den "Helden von Nirgendwo" sprach.
"Lumen Eldareth?" Der Offizier spricht knapp, sein Blick wandert abwertend über Lumen, dessen zerzaustes Haar und abgenutzte Kleidung alles andere als beeindruckend wirkt.
"Kommt drauf an, wer fragt," antwortet Lumen, seine Stimme träge, während er sich gegen den Türrahmen lehnt.
"Ich gratuliere, Rekrut. Sie sind hiermit offiziell eingezogen. Treffen Sie in vier Stunden in der Kaserne ein."
"Nein danke." Lumen versucht, die Tür zu schließen, doch der Offizier blockiert sie mit seinem kräftigen Fuß. Seine Augen verengen sich, und er beugt sich leicht vor.
"Sich gegen das Militär zu widersetzen, kann mit der Exekution bestraft werden. Erscheinen Sie in vier Stunden."
Mit einem letzten scharfen Blick dreht sich der Offizier um und marschiert davon.
Lumen bleibt stehen, starrt die Tür an, als würde er die Worte erst jetzt vollständig begreifen. Seine Gedanken wirbeln, doch er schüttelt den Kopf, bevor er sich abwendet.
"Die Miete für diesen Monat musst du trotzdem zahlen" ruft seine Vermieterin aus dem Flur, ihr Tonfall hart und unnachgiebig.
"Die senile Frau kann froh sein, dass ich sie noch nicht die Treppen runtergestoßen habe" murmelt Lumen und lässt sich zurück auf das Bett fallen.
Die Atmosphäre auf der Straße ist gedrückt, die Menschen sprechen gedämpft. Der Schatten des Militärs und der plötzlichen Einberufungen liegt schwer auf ihnen. Familien umarmen sich, einige Mütter wischen Tränen aus den Augen, während Väter versuchen, ihre Unsicherheit hinter starren Mienen zu verbergen.
Ein Bildschirm in der Nähe eines kleinen Restaurants flackert, die Lautsprecher knistern, bevor die Nachrichtensprecherin spricht: "Berichten zufolge gibt es in der Altstadt erneut einen Essenzsturm. Wir empfehlen allen Bürgern, die sich im Umkreis von zwei Kilometern befinden, dringend zu evakuieren."
Lumen bleibt kurz stehen, starrt auf den Bildschirm. Der Gedanke, bald als Kanonenfutter in so einen Sturm geschickt zu werden, lässt ihn schaudern.
Er schüttelt den Kopf, seine Augen glimmen kurz, als er weitergeht. Das Militär rekrutiert bereits erwachte Menschen, die in ihrer Datenbank registriert sind und noch keiner Organisation angehören, um sie im Kampf gegen die Monster des Abyss einzusetzen.
Ebenso werden nicht erwachte, gewöhnliche Menschen ohne Kräfte in Essenzstürme geschickt, in der Hoffnung, dass sie kompatibel sind, erwachen und so Funkenträger werden.
Er erinnert sich an das Erwachen, das für jeden anders verläuft, aber immer denselben Ursprung hat.
Zu viel Essenz, die aus dem Abyss zur Erde fließt, konzentriert sich manchmal an einem Punkt und bildet so einen Essenzsturm.
Wenn ein Mensch in der Nähe fähig ist, diese Essenz aufzunehmen, beginnt das Leerenfeuer – eine brutale Prüfung, die alles verändert.
Lumen weiß, wie gefährlich das ist. Besteht man das Leerenfeuer, erwacht man mit besonderen Kräften. Wenn ein Essenzsturm nicht durch einen Menschen, der die Essenz aufnimmt kontrolliert wird, kann es gefährlich werden.
Ein Monster spürt die Energie aus dem Abyss, bildet eine Verbindung und wird zum Anker für einen Dimensionsriss.
"Und das Militär erwartet das Teenager wie ich, das aufhalten oder liebend gerne als Kanonenfutter geopfert werden"
Lumen schnaubt leise.
Die Baracke sieht im Vergleich zu vielen modernen Gebäuden in der Umgebung sehr altmodisch aus. Es ist auch keine traditionelle Baracke sondern dem Anschein nach eine große Halle.
Vor dem gut bewachten Tor sieht Lumen eine große Gruppe an jungen Männern und Frauen. Alle befinden sich in einem ähnlichem Alter wie Lumen. Neber der Gruppe neuer Rekruten steht der noch immer düster schauende Offizier von eben.
Die meisten sehen nervös und verunsichert aus. Die Ausnahme stellt ein weißblondes Mädchen mit Militäruniform und blauen Mantel dar. Ihre eisblauen Augen sind scharf und zielgerichtet. Sie wirkt wie jemand, der für den Kampf lebt.
Neben ihr steht ein Junge mit braunen Haaren und unheimlich roten Augen, der Lumen immer wieder mit unbehaglichen Blicken mustert, als versuche er, ihn einzuschätzen.
"Gut, ich werde nun den Ablauf und euer Leben für die nächsten vier Jahre erklären. Falls ihr überhaupt solange überlebt" Der Offizier lacht lautstark und stellt sich mit dem Namen Kael vor.
"Ihr seit ungefähr 20 Leute und werdet gleich in zwei Gruppen eingeteilt. Nützlich oder Nutzlos. Mit anderen Worten Essenzträger oder normale Menschen."
"Wir ihr hoffentlich wisst werden erwachte Menschen, also Essenzträger, in mehrere Stufen aufgeteilt, abhängig davon wie stark sie sind."
"Die Erste Stufe, auch Funkenträger genannt, können Essenz in der Umgebung spüren und selbst in kleinen Mengen speichern. Sie können ebenfalls einfache Fähigkeiten einsetzen und ihr Körper ist so stark, wie der von einem Top Athleten.
Im Vergleich zu normalen Menschen sind sie übernatürlich, allerdings sollten Funkenträger sich nicht überschätzen. Sie können genauso schnell wieder erlischen" Der Offizier fragt wer bereits alles erwacht ist.
Das Mädchen mit den fast silbernen Haaren meldet sich sofort und salutiert zum Gefallen des Offiziers vorschriftsgemäß.
8 weitere Rekruten, darunter Lumen melden sich ebenfalls. Wenn auch nicht so enthusiastisch wie das Mädchen.
Der Offizier fixiert die Rekruten scharf und wirft einen besonderen Blick auf Lumen.
Er hat für einen jungen unüblich lange, unordentliche, pechschwarze Haare die seine Augen fast vollständig verdecken. Lumens Kleidung ist verschlissen und sein Mantel ist ein bis zwei Größen zu groß.
Er wirkt durch seine katastrophale Körperhaltung, wie ein schlafender und energieloser Obdachlose, der jeden Moment aus Faulheit Tot umfallen könnte.
"Die zweite Stufe sind Entflammte, das Ziel von allen Funkenträgern hier ist es diese Stufe so schnell es geht zu erreichen. Abgesehen von eurem bereits erwachtem Stigma, welches egal ob ihr es bereits einsetzen könnt in euch schlummert, werdet ihr euer Arkana erwachen.
Eure so gesehen ultimative Waffe, in der Lage ein großes Haus vom Erdboden verschwinden zu lassen. Setzt diese niemals leichtsinnig ein."
Kael streckt seinen rechten Arm aus, und in der Luft über der Gruppe nervöser Rekruten beginnen sich graue Funken zu sammeln. Die Funken tanzen wie winzige, wilde Lichter und füllen die Atmosphäre mit einer unheimlichen Energie.
Die Luft wird spürbar schwerer, wie die dünne, erdrückende Kälte auf einem hohen Berg. Einige der Rekruten fangen an, unruhig von einem Bein aufs andere zu treten, während sie ungläubig nach oben starren.
Kael schließt langsam die Finger seiner ausgestreckten Hand zu einer Faust. Die grauen Funken verändern sich, werden Goldfarben und intensiver.
Ihr Schimmer fängt die Blicke aller ein, fast so, als würden sie eine Mischung aus Ehrfurcht und Angst hervorrufen. Die Luft selbst scheint zu flimmern, wie unter einem unerträglichen Druck.
Dann, ohne Vorwarnung, explodieren die goldenen Funken mit einer erschütternden Wucht. Die Druckwelle reißt einige der Neulinge von den Füßen, während ein gleißendes Licht den Platz erfüllt.
Als die Rauchwolke sich langsam legt, färbt feiner Ruß die Gesichter mancher Rekruten schwarz. Eine bedrückende Stille breitet sich aus, unterbrochen nur vom Röcheln einiger, die den Staub aus der Luft einzuatmen scheinen.
Kael betrachtet die Szene mit einem kaum merklichen Lächeln, bevor er trocken lacht.
„Das ist mein Stigma, Aschebrand"


Lumen ist mit drei weiteren Jungs in seinem Alter in einem schlichten, engen Zimmer untergebracht.
Der Raum wirkt karg und zweckmäßig. Zwei einfache Hochbetten aus Holz stehen an den gegenüberliegenden Wänden, die schäbigen Matratzen darauf scheinen so dünn, dass man die Bretter darunter spürt. An der Wand neben der Tür hängt ein wackeliger Kleiderhaken, der bereits von ein paar grob gefalteten Uniformteilen belagert wird.
Ein einziges kleines Fenster lässt das graue Licht des Abends in den Raum, kaum genug, um die Ecken aufzuhellen.
Das angrenzende Bad ist nicht viel besser. Ein einzelnes Waschbecken mit abgenutztem Rand, ein fleckiger Spiegel und eine kleine Toilette, deren Spülung sich anhört, als würde sie um ihr Leben kämpfen, bilden die gesamte Ausstattung.
Auf der Etage gibt es wenigstens einen Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Duschen – ein Trost, wenn auch kein großer.
Lumen liegt auf dem unteren Bett der linken Seite, den Kopf auf seinen Armen verschränkt. Seine goldenen Augen starren an die Unterseite der Matratze über ihm, doch seine Gedanken schweifen ab.
Es ist ein seltener Moment der Ruhe, doch er fühlt sich weder entspannt noch ruhig. Seine Gedanken kreisen um Kaels Demonstration und das, was vor ihnen liegt.
Über ihm schläft Ravyn, der Junge, mit dem er das Hochbett teilt. Ravyn ist ähnlich wie Lumen ruhig und unauffällig.
Er hat braune Haare und wirkt durch sein zurückhaltendes Auftreten eher unscheinbar.
Sein am Kleiderhaken hängender schwarze Umhang, geschmückt mit einem kunstvoll verzierten roten Muster, lässt ihn trotz seiner Persönlichkeit hervorstechen.
Das rote Muster seines Umhangs passt gut zu seinen ebenfalls roten Augen, die Tagsüber oft hinter einer Sonnenbrille verdeckt sind.
Ravyn spricht nur selten, und wenn, dann in kurzen, präzisen Sätzen. Das ist eine willkommene Abwechslung zu dem Chaos, das von den Betten auf der rechten Seite kommt.
Die beiden Jungs auf der anderen Seite des Zimmers könnten nicht unterschiedlicher sein. Beide blond, beide laut und scheinbar immer voller Energie – auch jetzt, wo sie schlafen.
Kieran, der ältere der beiden, schnarcht mit einem dröhnenden Geräusch, das klingt, als würde er einen Berg erklimmen.
Der jüngere, Finn, redet im Schlaf, seine Worte unzusammenhängend und wirr, als würde er mitten in einem Traum einen Kampf austragen.
Lumen schließt für einen Moment die Augen und atmet langsam aus. Ravyn, obwohl er kaum ein Geräusch von sich gibt, scheint immer wachsam zu sein.
„Wach?" Ravyns Stimme dringt leise von oben herab. Sie ist tief und ruhig.
„Immer," murmelt Lumen und öffnet die Augen wieder. „Du?"
„Habe es aufgegeben zu schlafen" antwortet Ravyn und stützt sich halb auf seinem Ellenbogen ab, sodass er an der Bettkante erscheint.
"Wir sollten es trotzdem versuchen" flüstert Lumen.
"Ihr seid also die neuen Rekruten"
Ein Offizier mit scharfem Blick, musterte die Gruppe. Er scheint Anfang 30 zu sein.
"Ich bin Samir. Das bedeutet für euch: Ihr tut, was ich sage, wenn ihr überleben wollt."
Samir verschränkt die Arme, seine Uniform makellos, die Haltung stramm.
„Angesichts der Umstände werden wir eure Ausbildung ein wenig beschleunigen müssen. Eure Zeit ist knapp, und das bedeutet, dass ich keine Spielereien dulden werde."
Sein Blick schweift über die neun Rekruten, blieb jedoch an einem bestimmten Mädchen hängen. Seren steht aufrecht, ihr weißblondes Haar ordentlich zusammengebunden, ihre eisblauen Augen treffen seinen Blick ohne zu flackern.
"Dein Name ist Seren Veylith," sagt Samir mit einem Hauch von Interesse. "So wie in General Marcus Veylith?"
Seren nickt, ihr Ton neutral, aber respektvoll. "Ja, Sir. Er ist mein Vater."
Ein kurzes Lächeln huscht über Samirs Gesicht.
"Ich kenne ihn nur flüchtig. Doch ich bin zuversichtlich, dass sein Nachkomme ebenso außergewöhnlich ist."
Er macht eine Pause, ließ die Worte in der Gruppe wirken, bevor er fortfuhr. "Veylith, du bist ab sofort die Anführerin dieser Gruppe."
Ein erstauntes Raunen geht durch die Rekrutengruppe.
"Das bedeutet, dass du die Verantwortung für diese Gruppe trägst" erklärte Samir knapp.
„Du bist ihre Verbindung zu mir und zu den anderen Offizieren. Wenn ich einen Befehl gebe, stelle ich sicher, dass er durch dich ausgeführt wird.
Du hältst sie zusammen, korrigierst ihre Fehler und führst sie im Einsatz." Sein Blick verhärtet sich.
"Aber vergiss nicht: Sollte deine Gruppe scheitern, fällt das auf dich zurück."
Seren nickte langsam, ihr Blick unerschütterlich. „Verstanden, Sir."
Lumen, der abseits stand und das Ganze beobachtete, zog nur leicht die Augenbrauen hoch."Natürlich, wer auch sonst" denkt er.
Samir ließ seinen Blick erneut durch die Gruppe wandern. "Der Rest von euch," sagte er mit einem harten Ton, "wird tun, was Serin euch sagt."
Wenn sie euch befiehlt, zu springen, fragt ihr nicht "Wieso?" sondern "Wie hoch?".
Ein kurzes, unangenehmes Schweigen legte sich über die Gruppe, bis Samir schließlich hinzufügte: „Ihr habt eine Stunde. Lernt euch kennen, bevor das erste Training beginnt."
Mit diesen Worten wendet er sich ab und verschwindet.
Seren lässt ihren Blick kurz über die Gruppe schweifen.
"Meine Rolle bedeutet nicht nur Verantwortung. Es bedeutet auch, dass wir zusammenhalten, ob wir es mögen oder nicht." Ihre Stimme ist klar und fest.
"Ihr könnt euch auf mich verlassen – und ich erwarte, dass ich mich auf euch verlassen kann."
Lumen, der bisher nichts gesagt hat, stützte sich gegen die Wand.
„Klingt, als wüsstest du schon genau, wie das hier läuft," sagt er trocken.
Serens Augen sind kühl, aber nicht feindselig. „Ich erwarte keinen blinden Gehorsam. Aber ich erwarte, dass wir überleben. Und wenn das bedeutet, dass ich euch führen muss, dann tue ich das."
Lumens arroganter, ungehorsamer Blick irritiert Seren. Er spricht sich zwar nicht weiter gegen sie aus, aber sein Blick sagt mehr als tausend Worte.
"Wir wäre es wenn du uns dein Stigma zeigst, was sagst du Lumen?" sagt Seren herausfordernd.


Seren steht mit verschränkten Armen vor Lumen, ihre eisblauen Augen durchbohren ihn förmlich.
Die anderen Rekruten haben sich in einem Halbkreis um sie herum versammelt, teils neugierig, teils angespannt.
Einige tuscheln leise miteinander, doch Seren ignoriert sie konsequent.
"Muss ich wirklich mein Stigma zeigen?" fragt Lumen leise.
"Ja, das musst du", antwortet Seren scharf.
"Ich misstraue dir. Du verhältst dich Arrogant. Jemanden wie dich muss man früh an die Leine nehmen, damit du die Gruppendynamik nicht zerstörst und später keinen tötest"
Lumen murmelt: "Ich habe nicht dich gemeint" und seufzt tief.
Er schiebt sich von der Wand weg und steht nun in der Mitte des Halbkreises. Er streckt die rechte Hand aus, seine Haltung immer noch halbherzig. Doch als er die Augen schließt, verändert sich die Atmosphäre im Raum schlagartig.
Die Luft wird dichter, beinahe erdrückend. Ein unheimliches Flimmern breitet sich von Lumens Hand aus, golden und rein, als würde die Welt selbst auf seine Berührung reagieren.
Der Boden unter den Füßen der Rekruten scheint leicht zu vibrieren, und ein göttliches Licht beginnt, aus seinem Stigma zu strömen – seine Augen leuchten Golden.
Die Rekruten halten unwillkürlich die Luft an. Einige machen instinktiv einen Schritt zurück, während Seren regungslos bleibt, ihre Augen weit geöffnet, nicht sicher, was sie erwarten soll.
Ravyn Blick fixiert Lumens Hand, welche unnatürlich Hell leuchtet.
Die goldenen Strahlen des Lichts füllen den Raum, reflektieren auf den Wänden und verleihen Lumen eine heilige Ausstrahlung.
Lumen öffnet langsam die Augen. Sie leuchten in einem intensiven Gold, das in die Seelen der Zuschauer zu blicken scheint.
"Bereit?" fragt er mit einem Hauch von Ironie in der Stimme, bevor er seine Hand langsam bewegt.
Das Licht wird fokussierter… heller… intensiver… und – es ist eine Taschenlampe.
Ein einzelner, schmaler Lichtstrahl strahlt aus seiner Handfläche, genau wie das Licht einer ganz gewöhnliche Taschenlampe.
Die zuvor intensive Aura verblasst fast sofort, und was bleibt, ist ein bescheidenes Licht, das auf den Boden vor ihm gerichtet ist.
Es herrscht eine lange, unangenehme Stille. Die Rekruten starren ihn ungläubig an. Seren blinzelt zweimal, als könnte sie nicht glauben, was sie sieht.
Lumen sieht auf das Licht in seiner Hand und zuckt mit den Schultern. "Tja, das war's", sagt er. "Nicht schlecht, oder?"
Lumen und Ravyn stehen sich auf dem Trainingsplatz gegenüber.
Die Atmosphäre zwischen ihnen ist angespannt, aber nicht feindselig. Es ist ein stilles Kräftemessen, ein unausgesprochener Test.
Um sie herum ertönen das Keuchen der anderen Rekruten und das dumpfe Aufprallen von Schlägen, doch keiner der beiden beachtet das.
Ihre Aufmerksamkeit gilt allein ihrem Gegenüber. Ravyn macht schließlich den ersten Schritt.
Er bewegt sich schnell, eine Gerade mit der rechten Hand zielgenau auf Lumens Kinn gerichtet.
Lumen weicht mit minimaler Bewegung aus, sein Kopf dreht sich kaum, aber der Schlag geht ins Leere.
Ravyn setzt sofort nach, seine Linke fliegt in Richtung Lumens Rippen.
Lumen hebt den Unterarm und blockt, der Aufprall hallt dumpf in seinem Körper wider.
Ravyn stürmt vor, ein schneller Frontkick, der auf Lumens Brust abzielt. Doch Lumen hebt das Knie und lenkt den Angriff ab.
Ravyn nutzt den Schwung, dreht sich und versucht einen Ellbogenschlag – doch Lumen taucht unter dem Angriff hindurch.
Plötzlich wechselt Ravyn die Taktik. Er geht tiefer in die Hocke, greift nach Lumens vorderem Bein und zieht, um ihn aus dem Gleichgewicht zu bringen.
Doch Lumen springt gerade rechtzeitig hoch, dreht sich in der Luft und landet wieder sicher.
Ravyn nutzt die Gelegenheit, um nach vorne zu stürmen, versucht einen Haken, aber Lumen fängt das Handgelenk ab und drückt es zur Seite.
Ravyn zieht Lumen plötzlich zu sich und versucht ihn mit seiner Schulter in die Brust zu rammen. Lumen stolpert zurück, doch er fällt nicht.
Stattdessen wirft er Ravyn mit einem schnellen Hüftwurf aus der Bewegung heraus zu Boden.
Die anderen Rekruten hören für einen Moment auf, als das Geräusch von Ravyns Aufprall den Trainingsplatz erfüllt.
Doch Ravyn bleibt nicht liegen. In einer fließenden Bewegung rollt er sich ab, steht wieder auf und geht sofort in den Angriff über. Diesmal ist er noch aggressiver.
