"Although it still has some flaws, it’s a good improvement."
Satisfied, Blake nodded before turning his gaze to Bete, who was staring at him intently.
"A strong person isn’t defined by raw power alone. If you think strength is the only measure of someone's worth, you're mistaken."
"Tch."
Bete clicked his tongue in frustration but didn’t argue. He had lost. That was the undeniable truth.
Lefiya, who had been watching from the sidelines, found he...
"You... what did you do?!"
Struggling to get up from the ground, Bete glared at Blake, his voice filled with suspicion and rage.
In that split second, he had been the attacker, yet his assault had been effortlessly dodged, and he was sent flying by a single kick. The most baffling part was that he hadn’t even seen Blake move or strike at all. It was as if he had teleported.
It wasn’t just Bete—Ais, Tiona, and Tione, who were watching from behind, also couldn...
"Bete, if you want to fight, fight with me."
However, under Bete's astonished gaze, Ais seemed to have triggered a deep anger, her expression cold as she drew her sword.
"Bete, Ais, enough already."
Seeing this unexpected development, Finn could no longer stand by. With the authority of a leader, he sternly ordered them to stop, causing both Ais and Bete to freeze in place.
Originally, he wanted to test whether the rumors about Blake were true, but now it s...
"Of course, I know you're not alone. Not only me, but we all know it."
Looking at Quirrell’s expression, Noah suddenly showed an inexplicable smile.
Although Noah didn’t think Quirrell was particularly difficult to deal with, if there was an opportunity, he was more than happy to mess with his opponent’s mentality.
For a wizard, one's mental state was perhaps more important than in any other profession!
After all, wizards weren’t warriors who could ...
Quirrell was not in a good mood. To be precise, neither he nor Voldemort was in a good mood.
They had passed through all the obstacles silently and arrived at the place where the legendary Philosopher's Stone was stored. Fortunately, they had sought alternative means to get here—otherwise, they might have realized how absurd some of the previous obstacles were.
But now, in front of them stood a huge mirror.
The mirror was magnificent, reaching up to the ceiling,...
Time passed quickly, and three days went by.
During these three days, Blake raised his attributes to 2000, and he couldn’t improve any further. In Hestia’s words, Blake had completely solidified his foundation.
What he needed to do next was to defeat or kill stronger monsters or people to accumulate enough great achievements and create opportunities to level up.
Though he trained with Ais and taught her, it was more for exercise and not life-or-death battles, ...
"Ais, your talent with the sword is the strongest I've ever seen. You’ve learned so much in such a short time."
After receiving the system notification, Blake cheerfully walked over to Ais, who was sitting against the city wall, and extended his hand to her.
"This level is still not enough... I’m still far behind you, Blake."
Ais’s golden eyes flickered for a moment before she spoke calmly, taking his hand.
"Don’t rush. Take it slow. With your talen...
The next morning, while Hestia and Lili were still asleep and the city seemed empty, Blake had already met up with Ais and was preparing for their daily training.
"Blake, where’s your sword?"
Looking at Blake, Ais tilted her head in confusion. The longsword that usually hung from his waist was missing.
"It broke accidentally," Blake explained, shaking his head.
"I knew it! I'll get you a sword. Blake, your sword’s quality is too poor."
Ais's gold...
“This place is...?”
Looking at this fantastical world constructed by swords, Blake muttered in shock.
"What do you seek?"
"What is your will?"
A voice, as if many people's voices were overlapping, echoed around. Blake was startled and looked around, but there was no one in sight, it was as if he was in a ghostly realm.
"If you are confused, try pulling me out."
After the sharp voice sounded, the entire space became fierce. The wind, seemin...
After passing through the wooden door, Noah knew that this was basically the last level.
If Noah remembered correctly, this eerie place should be the chessboard challenge—only magnified countless times and far more lethal.
No, it wasn’t just chess. In this world, it was called Wizard’s Chess.
The rules were no different from regular chess, but it was far more violent. Noah had studied it before.
But to be honest, Noah was really bad at playing chess. ...
After passing through the three-headed dog and the Devil’s Snare, Noah and his party suddenly arrived in a place that looked no different from a basement.
It was hard to imagine that they were on the eighth floor, and yet, instead of a normal unused space, there was such a large chamber!
Clearly, someone had used space magic to transform this area.
In the wizarding world, space magic and time magic have long been subjects of study and experimentation.
In ...
After sorting things out with Lili, Blake and Hestia handled some other matters—such as assigning rooms and preparing hot water for a bath.
Later, Hestia led Blake to her room. Just like the night before, she sat on his back, her warmth and affection unmistakable, causing Lili, who was sitting at the edge of the bed, to feel a tinge of envy.
Hestia gently slid her soft hand across Blake’s back a few times before taking out a needle.
"I'm starting now."
...
"What is this?"
Blake asked, looking at Loki with a slightly confused expression.
"This is a Grimoire, a rare book that allows the reader to acquire magic most suited to them."
Loki grinned mischievously.
"Ugh! A Grimoire?! Loki, you're just trying to butter up Blake and steal him away from me, aren’t you? I won’t let you succeed!"
As soon as Loki finished speaking, Hestia immediately clung to Blake, glaring at her rival like a small yet fierce g...
“Lord Blake, thank you.”
After leaving Soma Familia, Lili spoke with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
She felt lost now. Although she had finally escaped from the Familia she had longed to leave, she didn't know where to go next.
“Hey, Lili, as the captain of the Hestia Familia, I invite you to join our group. Will you accept?”
Noticing Lili's unease, Blake gently placed his hand on her head, speaking in a calm, soothing tone.
“Lord Blake...
"This is the divine wine I brewed. Are you sure you want to try it? The consequences could be..." Soma said nervously, as if waking up slightly after being confronted by Blake.
"You think your divine wine can conquer us?" Before Soma could finish his sentence, Blake snatched the jar, its irresistible aroma seeping through despite the sealed container.
"God Soma, do you have cups?" Blake asked.
"Yes." Soma sighed weakly, then pulled out two wine cups and reluctantl...
Demon hunters really exist, and their history is very long—so long that they can even be compared with Merlin.
As for whether there is a man named Geralt among these demon hunters, Noah doesn’t know.
At least, Noah didn't find this person’s name in the limited information he had, which made him feel quite regretful.
Looking at the three-headed dog that was still sleeping but beginning to stir, Noah knew better than to wait for it to wake up and then waste ef...
To be honest, Noah himself felt rather conflicted.
It was his own decision not to get involved in Harry’s affairs, yet, in the end, it was also his own decision to join in.
Was he schizophrenic or something?
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Noah came to two conclusions. The first was that he was simply the kind of person who had a talent for courting death and enjoyed throwing himself into such situations.
Think about it—how often does ...
When Blake and his companions arrived at the Soma Familia’s home, they found Soma, the god of wine, completely absorbed in his brewing. His indifference was palpable, as if the world around him didn’t exist. He didn’t even glance at his visitors, his focus entirely on the wine in his hands.
This dismissive attitude only fueled Blake’s frustration. His expression hardened as he stared at the god who seemed so detached, so unconcerned with the struggles of his own childre...
In a quiet corner of Orario stood a tower-like structure.
Though it bore some resemblance to the towering Sword Mountain, home of the Loki Familia, it was nowhere near as grand. Yet, its presence was still imposing.
Under Lili's guidance, Blake arrived at the entrance. He looked up at the building's peak and spoke without turning back.
"This is the place?"
"Y-Yes…" Lili hesitated slightly, her voice tinged with unease.
"Lord Blake, what exactly are...
"Ah ha? The Dark Lord is in Hogwarts? How is that possible?"
Few people dared to believe what Harry said.
Although there had been predictions that Voldemort would return, the truth was that he hadn't made any moves, and even his loyal Death Eaters were mostly rotting away in Azkaban.
So when Harry told Noah that Voldemort had already snuck into Hogwarts, no one except Noah was inclined to believe him—even if Harry swore he'd seen him.
But the problem was,...
Name: Noah Finnell
Age: 12 years old
Mage Level: Order: 1, Rank: 0
This was the data given to Noah by the system panel. After March, Noah would be 12 years old.
But to be honest, Noah didn’t feel any significant changes from being a Zero-Order magic apprentice to a First-Order magician. Other than his magic power becoming more solid, there didn’t seem to be anything special.
After thinking for a while, Noah felt that it made sense.
Although a Firs...
"Arde, how about we discuss something?"
In a certain alley, the leader of the Soma Familia, Zanis, looked sinisterly at Lili, greedily eyeing the pouch of money in her hands.
"What... what do you want?!"
Lili, terrified, looked at Zanis, tightly clutching her backpack.
"What do I want? I just want you to obediently take this pill and start making money for us."
Zanis spoke coldly, taking out a dark-colored pill from his hand.
"...!"
Upo...
"Sure enough, becoming your adventurer advisor requires a strong heart," Eina murmured after a brief silence, shaking her head before beginning to count the money.
After a while, Eina handed over two bags and softly said, "Blake, it's a total of 2.8 million Valis, split into two portions."
"Thanks. Eina, we're leaving now. If there's a chance, I'll treat you to tea next time."
After taking the money, Blake smiled and left this remark before holding the wide-eyed H...
In today’s Potions class, Noah was in a bad mood, especially when he saw Professor Snape—his expression turned rather grim.
Yesterday, he had been completely humiliated by Professor Snape, and he swore to himself that he would never let that happen again!
He had always known how formidable Professor Snape was, but he hadn’t expected him to be this terrifying in actual combat.
Noah had nearly reached the level of a First-Year, yet he still felt like an infant...
Although Harry was confused, he got the answer he wanted, but the students of Ravenclaw didn’t seem to be very friendly to him.
Of course, he didn’t care. What he cared about was that he now knew the key item: the Philosopher’s Stone. He decided to investigate its effects and then go to Hagrid to ask about it.
Harry acted as he thought. He took Ron and ran back to the Gryffindor table, grabbing some food casually.
After chatting with Noah for so long, he was...
The bustling street was filled with noise, as if nothing had happened earlier.
As for the noisy Hestia and Lili, Blake simply smiled and shook his head. This was also a form of happiness.
"Master, can I send out a system message now?"
At this moment, Sia’s cheerful and coquettish voice finally rang out. She had been silent, not wanting to disturb Blake.
"Mm. Looks like there’s a surprise."
Upon hearing this, Blake's crystal-blue eyes flickered fo...
