章 34: Volume II - Prologue

--Volume II: The Half-End of Humanity--

Lunerra... what kind of place is it?

A planet where mana, creatures, and dungeons have emerged and the balance is completely tilted around the 'strong'...

I was relaxed even though I knew the rules of this world. I thought that since I hadn't done anything yet, I still had time to enjoy my new life.

I was wrong.

"Aiden... You... What do you think you're doing?"

I stared coldly into the emerald green eyes of the silver-haired boy standing in front of me in shock, then sighed.

If I had been a little more careful at the beginning... If I had played it safe initially, I wouldn't be dealing with this now. I just... I didn't think I would be targeted so quickly.

"Hahah! Look at his face! I told you this would be too easy!"

The students standing behind me made fun of Adrian for the look he gave us. But I ignored them and looked up at the fist-sized robotic eyes hovering above, watching our every move.

So you want to play games with me, test me?

That's fine with me, I wouldn't have refused you in the first place.

But you crossed a line you shouldn't have... And now I will show you what it means to mess with me.

"Why?!"

Adrian yelled at me in anger and confusion, but I could still see a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He thought what he was going through was a lie, that I would never do such a thing, but I ignored him and gripped my sword tightly.

Not yet... I have to wait a little longer for it to start working.

I pointed my sword at Adrian and focused on my mana, which then began to swirl around me, creating a gust of wind that followed my sword.

The students standing behind me with mischievous smiles drew their own weapons. Then, despite the intense shock on Adrian's face, I spoke nonchalantly.

"Let's begin."

And so, the show began.
