On the day of the awards ceremony, I opened the gacha of text, hoping for something good. Alone inside my room, I stared intently at the self-written words.
‘Did you know, that the elven tribes dislike the Empire? Apparently, the previous king had kidnapped their World Tree maiden a few decades ago.’
Oh… shit.
This book so far, has revealed slightly interesting things, for a beginner, until I defeated Requiem.
I had clung to the potted plant because of the storyline related to the World Tree. I planned to get closer to Ash so that when he eventually visited home on the winter holidays, I could join as well. I also intended to bring Julia as a plus one… but if she’s barred from entry, then I’m not sure how to proceed.
Seriously, the connections between all the major powers were quite complicated. The Republic of the South, Empire of the North, Alexander Kingdom in the west, and the elven tribes harbouring the east, while intricately connected, vastly differed in operations.
The Empire was in partnership with the Kingdom, however, they were hostile to the Republic and Elves. On the other hand, the Kingdom was friendly with everyone, except the elves… their only ally were the Republic, which acted as an exchange hub for them.
Such relationships were only the surface of these powers. When considering the other hidden forces, such as the Beastmen of the Desert, there were many moving parts in the game, which served to enrich the experience.
Due to these things, the relationships within the academy faced very harsh consequences if handled poorly. Which, the player is expected to navigate if they want to romance their desired characters.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
And, I’ve only just gotten past the first week of this hell…
“I already want to retire,” I mumbled in bed.
Percy potentially could get interested in Uriel, or even his classmate Hera, a minor character with the hidden side of being part of an assassin syndicate.
‘Nope, no more.’
I’d think about it later, probably after I go recruit Uriel or something. Right now, I’d like to enjoy the slow morning and get ready.
“You’re awake?” Fen asked from the other side of the room. “I thought you’d never get up.”
His body was covered in sweat, evident by the sweat-drenched tracksuit he wore.
I shrugged my shoulders, “Sorry to disappoint.”
“Haha, you know that’s not what I meant,” Fen chuckled.
“You going to have a shower now?”
“Yup, sorry if you wanted to, I’ll be quick.”
Answering my question, he hopped into the dorm’s bathroom before I could respond. I figured it would be good to have some fresh air instead of dwelling on his actions.
I exited the dorm, walking myself to the balcony. From here I could manage to see the Demon King’s Grave. For whatever reason, ever since I left that place, it’s become visible to the naked eye again. However, it never has received any visitors since Abel placed a somewhat threatening sign.
‘If you enter, you’ll be expelled. Don’t worry, I placed a detection spell of the highest tier! - Abel.’
I laughed at the thought of it, as it fit his character to a tea. Although, right now I might be seeing something. A glimpse of black hair peering past the blatant sign.
‘Is that Erin?’
I shook my head, I was probably wrong. They would’ve told her if she was here, right? No drama between the hero and his arch nemesis’ daughter, of course.
I begged for that to be the case. I’d rather not have to deal with a complicated issue in the coming weeks, especially when I had to grow stronger.
Shaking my head in visible denial, I decided to have a light jog.
Once again the phrase, ‘ignorance is bliss’ rang through my head.
