Chapter 21 : Travel

Sora woke up at 4 a.m., his mind sharp and focused. Without wasting a moment, he geared up and left the inn in Barcelona. The streets were still dark, the city asleep, but his journey couldn't wait. He had a long way to go.

He left the inn, his bag packed with supplies for the trip ahead. But first, he needed to visit the [Combat Training Center]. One of the benefits of being in a massive city like Barcelona was the sheer variety of available classes. With more options ...

Chapter 20 : Second Rebirth !

Sora woke up in a daze, his body cold and unsteady. For a moment, his thoughts were a jumble as the memory of his death replayed in his mind. Something incredibly powerful had erased him in an instant, and he had no idea how.

'Was it a slap? A strike? A spit? I haven't even seen it coming.'

It was over before he could comprehend anything.

His thoughts drifted to the studies conducted by Public Universities, particularly their research on monsters above level 80. Acc...

Chapter 19 : Last sprint

Barcelona was 8,000 kilometers away, but the path Sora mapped out—dodging high-level zones and weaving through safer areas—extended that distance to 13,000 kilometers. With his speed and ability to evade danger, it would take only a day to reach the city, but his goal wasn't simply to arrive. Testing if moving far from his original spawn point would alter his next respawn was important, but he knew he had time to do that anytime in the future. He could always go back if necessary.

<...

Chapter 18 : Piou

As Sora sprinted through the wilderness, his mind kept circling back to the mana threads he had been experimenting with. He was sure they were meant for binding, but something was missing.

'Maybe they couldn't be used on inanimate objects?' He thought to himself

Curious, he decided to test his theory on a living creature. It didn't take long before he spotted a small green bird flitting around nearby. Tiny, weak, barely worth noticing. It hovered in the air, its delicate ...

Chapter 17 : Contract ?

The next day, Sora unlocked [Mana Shield], a defensive skill that gave him his first layer of protection in battle.

[Mana Shield (Level 1)]
Type: Defensive
Description: Creates a barrier of mana that absorbs incoming damage. The strength of the shield increases with mana input. The shield can be maintained as long as mana is available and can be deactivated at any time. Maintaining the shield consumes mana.

Sora activated i...

Chapter 16 : Second class : Mana Amplifier

Sora stood where he had paused before, receiving the familiar chime of a notification in his mind. A new class had been unlocked.

Class Unlocked: Mana Amplifier (Level 1)

The moment he read it, a surge of curiosity hit him. He knew every class came with its unique set of skills, and he had been waiting for this. His previous experience as a swordsman, combined with his newfound understanding of mana, would only be enhanced by this new class.

A second notific...

Chapter 15 : New class !

Sora walked down the bustling streets of Córdoba, his mind already on the next step of his journey. He had spent two days clearing all the offices, raking in an impressive amount of gold—185,000, to be precise—far more than he initially expected. On top of that, he had his prior earnings from looting monsters and auctions, which left him with well over 345,000 gold in total. It was a fortune by any standard, enough to live comfortably for years or buy the best equipment money could buy.<...

Chapter 14 : Human Ressource Assistant

Aria smiled and handed him the mana pen. "Good luck."

Sora held the pen, feeling its light hum of mana. As he touched the pen to the contract, he immediately felt something shift. Mana surged through the pen, flowing into the paper. And for the first time, he realized that this wasn't just a normal piece of paperwork.

Each contract was more than just words on paper. In this world, contracts signed with mana became something akin to divine rules—immutable laws that bound b...

Chapter 13 : The Unlikely Path

Sora stood in front of the [Job Hall]'s clerk, feeling a mixture of curiosity and embarrassment. He was a level 29 player, much stronger than the average person, and yet he found himself asking about a job that seemed to be more suited for civilians or non-combat types. The Human Resource Assistant role was in high demand, but why? And why had it remained unfilled despite the apparent need?

He glanced back at the job board, seeing the open listings for several comp...

Chapter 12: Cordoba

The last three skills Sora had unlocked were immensely powerful, each one pushing the boundaries of what he thought was possible. They weren't just mere imitations anymore—like True Mana Strike, they had evolved into something greater. These new techniques transcended the original class-based skills they once mirrored, making them potent weapons in their own right.

But with this newfound strength came a consequence.

Sora glanced down at the broken remains of his sword. It had fi...

Chapter 11 : New skills

Like a madman, Sora relentlessly hunted monsters for two days straight. He didn't stop. He didn't sleep. The only times he paused were to scarf down food from the tavern or heal himself with a loaf of bread after taking hits from the beasts he fought. His body moved automatically, but his mind was singularly focused on one thing—changing the name of his Fake Sword Strike.

It wasn't just a name. It was a mark of his progress, his ability to create something new, something that...

Chapter 10 : Crazy leveling

The moment Sora activated his new supreme skill, Mana Evolution, everything shifted. Mana became more visible to him—its flow, its currents—appearing like swirling streams of energy moving through the air. With Mana Eyes, he could see it in ways he never thought possible, zooming in on its fine details or pulling back to see the larger patterns. It was as though the world had become more alive, brimming with energy waiting to be controlled.

But what truly astonishe...

Chapter 9 : Mana Evolution

Sora felt a new sense of power thrumming beneath his skin. He hadn't chosen a class yet, but after reaching level 10, something fundamental had shifted—he had unlocked mana. It was wild and untamed, pulsing inside him like an uncoiled spring, waiting to be harnessed. He could already tell that controlling it was going to be difficult.

Mana, in its raw form, was chaotic. Without a class to guide it, most players found it nearly impossible to manage. There were too many potential uses, ...

Chapter 8: Level 10 !

The landscape stretched out before Sora, a seemingly endless path through rolling hills and sparse forests. From the map he had acquired, the journey to Córdoba was going to be around 1000 kilometers long.

Not because the city itself was that far, but because of the path he needed to take. He wasn't about to charge straight through higher-level zones and risk his life unnecessarily.

His plan was simple: avoid the level 20+ zones at all costs and stick to areas where the mobs were...

Chapter 7 : Jobs and Training Gear

Sora knew the market well enough to estimate the average prices of items, and as he considered his next moves, his mind focused on one thing: maximizing his growth. The journey to reclaim his power would require careful planning, and equipping himself with the right gear—particularly items that could boost his XP gain—was critical. But it would come at a significant cost.

For now, equipping himself as a level 1 wouldn't break the bank. He estimated that basic low-level gear would co...

Chapter 6 : Villafranca de Córdoba

The sun had just set, painting the sky in deep hues of purple and orange as Sora neared the village. The day had been long, filled with relentless grinding against low-level creatures, and now, his thoughts turned to food, rest, and figuring out exactly where he was.

His stomach grumbled, urging him to quicken his pace as the village's outline became clearer.

As he approached the village's entrance, Sora noticed a distinct shift in the atmosphere. The outer part of the village ret...

Chapter 5 : Plans

His mind buzzed with possibilities. Prestige.

It had been both his salvation and his new mystery. The ability to reset his progress and retain a multiplier for his experience was undoubtedly powerful. However, the skill's description had been vague. He didn't know how far this advantage could go. Was there a cap? Could he truly keep resetting and growing infinitely? There had to be a catch, but for now, Sora needed to focus on what he could control.

As he revi...

Chapter 4 : Level Up !

Sora knelt on the cold stone floor, breathing heavily as adrenaline coursed through his veins. The remnants of the battle still echoed in his mind, but his focus shifted back to the figure emerging from the shadows—the short boy cloaked in dark fabric, standing silently before him. The air felt charged, and Sora remained instinctively wary.

“Well, you survived,” the boy said, his voice low and smooth, almost melodic. “Not bad, considering where you started.”

Sora clenche...

Chapter 3 : Test

As Sora turned away from the status panel, the room around him slowly came into focus. He was in a small, dimly lit stone chamber with no windows, the air thick with the smell of damp earth. The only exit was a doorway, flanked by two unlit torches. It was as if he had been dropped into the world with the bare minimum—a fresh start, stripped of everything but simple clothes.

No more regrets. No more dwelling on what had been lost.

Only what lay ahead.

The world outside the...

Chapter 2 : New Life

Sora's vision blurred as the light consumed him. For a brief moment, the overwhelming brightness made it impossible to focus on anything but the sensation of being pulled apart, like his very essence was being unraveled and stitched back together. Then, as quickly as it began, the light receded, and he was no longer floating in the void.

But before he could take in his new surroundings, a single thought anchored itself in his mind—Rachel.

The memory of her betrayal surged forwar...

Chapter 1 : Death ... ?

Sora stood at the edge of the battlefield, his heart pounding in his chest as he faced the formidable team of players before him.

At level 49, he had trained tirelessly, honing his skills and mastering his abilities. Yet, in this moment, surrounded by the chaotic energy of the clash, he felt the weight of his limitations.

His friends rallied around him, their expressions a mix of determination and worry. They had come together, bound by their shared quest, yet the odds didn't...
