The sky, shrouded in a thick blanket of dark clouds, loomed over the Balkan Peninsula like a vast, ominous curtain.
In a mountain basin somewhere in the Balkans, a group of witches performed a ritual dance, their movements a prayer to the gods.
Etched on the ground was a massive and intricate magic circle, composed of countless nodes that emitted a faint, ethereal glow.
Each node in the circle corresponded to a specific star in the celestial expanse. The arrangem...

At around 8 a.m., Haru groggily opened his eyes.
"Morning already?" Haru muttered lazily, gently nudging Kasugano Sora, who was nestled against his arm.
"Come on, Sora, we need to get up and head to Hozumi Academy to handle the transfer paperwork today," Haru said softly, still feeling the weight of sleep pulling him back into the futon. Even as he tried to wake her, it was clear that Haru himself wasn't quite ready to leave the warm cocoon of blankets.

In the living room, Sayanomiya Kaoru sat nervously, facing the scowling siblings. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.
Haru glared at her, his expression promising a swift execution if her news wasn't satisfactory.
Kasugano Sora sat beside him, her face expressionless, as if she were already looking at a corpse.
"Well... uh... the History Compilation Committee has received a report. The Yuri family, the Hime Miko clan who protect the Shichiou Shrine, accepted an invita...

The black Ferrari convoy cruised smoothly through the fields on the outskirts of San Gimignano.
"This is tricky," Haru thought, recalling the recent exploratory clash. Both he and Doni had tacitly agreed not to go all out, but even in that brief exchange, Haru had sensed the Silver Arm's power.
Doni's swordsmanship, honed to the point of becoming pure instinct, had reached the realm of "no-sword," impossible to predict or counter. And then there was the Silver Arm itself, a force ...

"Already here? No choice then, boy, lend me your body for a moment!!!"
With that, the girl reached out and wrapped her arms around Kasugano Haru's neck, pressing her lips against his. Their lips connected in an instant!
Kasugano Haru stared blankly at the perfect face so close to his, his pupils shrinking. Before his eyes, the girl's body slowly dissolved into light particles, merging gently into his own.
Kasugano Haru's eyes changed, the originally dark gray pupils graduall...

The crimson eyes gradually lost focus, and the frail body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust as the earth slowly became stained with blood.
'The divinity has been shaken by the power of the moon, and the godly force within me is fighting for control. But my divine power is almost depleted... Is this the end?' Uke Mochi's fading gaze remained fixed on Tsukuyomi, who was descending from above.
With a soft thud, Tsukuyomi...

Within this space, the Art of Evolving had manifested as an ancient, paper-bound book, radiating a brilliant light like the sun, illuminating his entire soul space.
The book silently turned its pages. The solid, gaseous chapter flipped past, revealing the ethereal, liquid chapter.
This chapter began to fill in, becoming more substantial until, with a resounding boom, it fully materialized, vibr...

- Excerpts from the Writings of Italian Magician Alberic Licaoro in the 19th Century
To the one who has achieved this terrifying feat, I have taken the liberty of bestowing upon him the title of *Campione*.
You, dear readers, may find this title perplexing, and perhaps even exaggerated after reading my accounts.
But I must emphasize once more.
A *Campione* is a king.
Thus, he is capable of slaying the gods of hea...

Haru blinked his deep gray eyes, seemingly unconcerned by Voban's wrath. He picked up his severed arm, pressing it against the wound, and whispered an ...

Sensing Sora's confusion, Haru's eyes flickered with golden light. With a thou...

It was around 11 p.m.
Within the Imperial Palace of Yamato
Seated at the head of the room was an elderly man, well into his twilight years. A beaded curtain hung in front of him, his gaze fixed on three elderly men and a striking black-haired young woman, barely eighteen, who knelt on the tatami mat below him.
These were the current heads of the Four Great House...

Haru and Sora were enjoying an Italian meal. Prosciutto and fresh seasonal vegetables were served as appetizers, followed by the main courses – deep-fried lamb brains, a local delicacy, sausages prepared with a secret recipe by a renowned chef, and Florence's unique thin-crust bread. The table was laden with an array of dishes, a truly sumptuous feast.

Haru's face was thoughtful as he processed the information received from the egg after inputting the Grimoire of the Future.
Earlier, after leaving Sayanomiya Kaoru and her grandfather, Haru had studied the Grimoire, activating each of its spells one by one. As each spell manifested, the egg within him would absorb the newly born spell data before it vanished, effectively extracting the information. Once all the spells had been activated, the egg transmitted a vast amount of data.

Just now, Badr and Rias had explored each other a bit and of course Asia had woken up. After all, Badr and Rias hadn't been considerate of her at all. But being thin-skinned, Asia's face was completely red.
Still, she stubbornly clung to Badr without letting go.
Seeing Asia's shy and envious expression, Rias seemed to feel she'd gained a lot, lying on her side, supporting her cheek with her hand and smiling happily:
