"Where is this place?"
Evan and the other two were stunned by the scene before them. It was hard to believe that such a place existed, filled with an abundance of magical resources!
Even in their own homes, they had never seen such a collection.
"I don’t know exactly. It’s called the Room of Requirement, and I stumbled upon it by accident," Noah said, spreading his hands.
"You trained your spells here? When?" Lance asked in disbelief. It seemed almost i...
"Blake, did you come to check on the situation with the Apollo Familia?" Ais asked after a brief pause, sensing that the atmosphere had shifted slightly.
"No. The monsters on the tenth floor are too weak, and they don’t provide much training. I was planning to go to the seventeenth floor to train with Minotaurs." Blake shook his head and replied softly.
"I see."
Ais nodded, unsurprised by his response, as it made perfect sense.
However, while it might hav...
"Lili, let's go."
Noticing the many figures ahead, Blake raised an eyebrow before walking forward with Lili.
If there had been more than one path here, he wouldn't have bothered meeting the intellectually challenged members of the Apollo Familia.
"Hey? Isn't that Blake? Why is he on the 16th floor?"
"Yeah, are the people behind him protecting him? Wait, no, they're just tagging along for the fun, aren't they?"
As the two sides drew closer, the ad...
On the eighth floor of Hogwarts, the Headmaster's Office sits at the end of a spiral staircase. A gleaming oak door, adorned with a brass knocker shaped like a griffin, guards its entrance.
As for what lies inside, Noah had never been in there, so he wasn’t entirely sure.
Also on the eighth floor was Professor Flitwick’s office, located at the thirteenth window on the right side of the West Tower.
At the top of the West Tower was the Owlery, the roosting place...
“Noah, how did you do it?”
After class, Noah was surrounded by his roommates, as expected.
Looking at the curious faces of the three boys, Noah felt both amused and helpless. It wasn’t just them—or even just the students of Ravenclaw. Almost everyone in the classroom was looking at him with varying degrees of curiosity.
Because what Noah had done was truly astonishing!
Although the Wingardium Leviosa charm wasn’t a difficult spell—it was, in fac...
When Noah and the others arrived at the classroom, they found it already packed with students.
Charms class was structured like an open class, meaning all students of the same year attended together.
However, unlike regular open classes, which were mostly elective courses, Charms was a core subject—one of the fundamental branches of magic. The credits for this class were quite high.
Following Evan and the others, Noah quickly found the designated seating area fo...
Noah's small goal wasn’t really exaggerated. Reaching the first level wasn’t anything remarkable—it simply meant that he had progressed from a mere apprentice to an actual magician.
Or rather, in this country, it would be more accurate to say he had become a wizard. A wizard who graduated normally from Hogwarts would typically be around the second or third level, while the more outstanding ones could reach the fourth level!
As for professors like Dumbledore, they w...
The next morning, Noah woke up feeling refreshed.
Even though he had spent the whole night reading and gathering magic in the system library, his body had actually been resting. He read during the first half of the night and meditated in the second half, leaving his mental state unusually sharp.
"It's just too little. I hope I can double the time in my system space."
After quickly washing up, Noah noticed that his roommates were also getting up.
Today was t...
Dumbledore's opening speech was very cryptic, but Noah found that all the Ravenclaw students, including himself, were not surprised by it.
At most, they had already figured out the meaning after thinking for a while. This realization made Noah's mouth twitch.
It wasn’t a pleasant feeling. He knew the answer, but these guys had guessed it entirely on their own.
Suddenly, Noah felt like a poor student who had somehow ended up surrounded by a group of academic geni...
An hour of waiting was exhausting, but Noah knew there was no way around it.
With so many students to sort, the process was already quite efficient. Even if each student took 30 seconds, the ceremony should have taken two hours. Thankfully, some students were placed almost instantly, speeding things up.
Still, one thing bothered Noah—why was he the last one?
Do they think I’m some kind of grand finale?
He wasn’t famous, nor did he have any remarkable ...
Everyone knows that Hogwarts has four major houses, each with its own symbols, traditions, and culture. Noah understood all this well, but when he finally stepped into the Great Hall, reality struck him differently.
The floating candles illuminated the vast space, casting flickering shadows across the enchanted ceiling, which mirrored the night sky outside. Ghosts drifted lazily above the students, occasionally pausing to observe the new arrivals. The long tables, lined with st...
Seated on the speeding train, Noah had finally calmed down. The initial excitement and anxiety had settled, leaving him in a contemplative state as he gazed at the scenery rushing past the window.
He couldn’t help but think about his future. To be honest, he had no idea what lay ahead. This world felt both intriguing and inexplicably dangerous. There was an underlying sense of uncertainty that made it hard for him to fully relax.
Still, overthinking wouldn’t help. Th...
Noah Finniel stood on Platform 9¾, his eyes scanning the bustling crowd of witches, wizards, and families bidding tearful goodbyes. The air was thick with the scent of smoke from the Hogwarts Express and the faint hum of magical energy. Yet, despite the excitement surrounding him, Noah’s mood was far from cheerful. His stomach churned with a mix of anxiety and disbelief. This was it—the legendary platform that transported countless young witches and wizards to the magical world. ...
"Glug..."
Looking at the pile of magic stones on the ground, all the adventurers were stunned, not knowing how to react. The only sound that broke the silence was the gulping of their own saliva, as disbelief filled their faces.
The sword energy from just now, while not aimed at them, was enough to make their souls tremble. It felt like a heavenly axe was hanging over their heads, ready to slice them in half at any moment.
They couldn't even imagine that if those ...
"He's treating this life-or-death game like a basic training session? Is he crazy?!"
"Is he giving up, knowing he can't win, and just hoping the monsters will eat him instead?"
"Could it really be like that?"
"Indeed, if that's the case, dying in the mouths of monsters is better than losing and becoming a lifelong slave."
After a brief silence, the crowd began to buzz again, various speculations flying.
"Blake isn’t crazy! He's really training hims...
The dungeon, usually quiet and desolate, was noisy today due to the game. The passage Blake was in was especially crowded, making it so packed that the monsters didn’t dare spawn.
Blake was well aware of the situation behind him but treated the adventurers as mere distractions, ignoring them.
【Slash!】
With a swift strike, Blake killed a large ant. He didn’t break his pace, and Lili quickly picked up the magic stones before following him.
"To think ...
After entering Babel Tower, Blake and Lili paused, not sure what they were waiting for.
"Heh, finally showing your true colors. You don't even have the courage to enter the dungeon?" one of Apollo’s adventurers shouted with joy upon seeing the two standing still.
“What is he playing at?” the adventurers following them wondered.
"Adventurer from yesterday at Mia’s tavern, step forward for a package inspection," Blake calmly said, ignoring the mocking ...
"About three minutes left. Seems like this guy really doesn’t dare to show up," one of the LV.3 adventurers remarked, noticing something.
As his words spread, the adventurers around him turned their attention to the main road.
Eyes filled with various emotions quickly focused on the figures walking towards them in the dazzling sunlight.
A slender figure appeared, dressed in plain clothes that couldn’t hide his tall but lean stature. Blake walked with a calm ex...
“Mia, how much is it in Valis?”
Blake leaned back in his chair, his stomach full and his spirits high. The tavern was warm and lively, filled with the hum of chatter and the clinking of glasses. After a hearty meal and a few drinks, he felt content, though his companion, Hestia, was in a far less dignified state. She had indulged a bit too much and was now slumped over the table, her cheeks flushed and her breathing slow and steady.
Mia, the tavern owner, wiped d...
"Huh? You fell and blame me? This is not a god like behaviour."
"......"
Looking at the innocent expression on Blake's face as he spoke, Apollo’s expression stiffened, and his inner rage began to boil. However, he did not explode immediately, as he had no evidence.
"Hestia, may I sit here?"
Taking a deep breath, Apollo calmed down mysteriously and said in a deep voice.
"Before that, as a well-known god, shouldn't you apologize for the actions of yo...
Just as Blake and Hestia sat down, Syr approached them with a gentle smile.
“Sorry for being late.”
“It’s fine. I’m just glad you’re here,” Blake replied, a touch of apology in his tone.
“But... are you sure about this game? Those adventurers include several seasoned veterans, while you’re still a rookie. It’s far too dangerous,” Syr expressed her concerns sincerely.
“She’s right, Blake! Why would you put yourself in such danger? I...
“Kid, don’t get cocky!”
Snapping out of their fear, one of the adventurers, red-faced with anger, drew a large sword and swung it down at Blake.
Several waitresses, their eyes narrowing, were about to intervene—but froze in their tracks.
In that instant, Blake casually caught the blade barehanded. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the sheer force caused the towering adventurer to lose his balance.
Boom!
The next moment, Blake stepped forward, ...
“Whew—!”
After his ability values were updated, Blake jumped off the bed, clenched his hand into a fist, and threw a punch.
“Whoosh—!”
A strong gust of wind accompanied his punch, creating a fierce whistling sound.
Feeling the power behind the punch, Blake nodded in satisfaction.
“The improvement is at least threefold!”
Ignoring Magic for now, his Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Agility had all leaped several stages, reachi...
Once inside, Hestia eagerly prepared to update Blake’s status.
In Hestia’s room, Blake lay shirtless on the soft bed, exposing his back, which was marked with a black emblem of a furnace and intricate runes.
After he got into position, Hestia let out a cheerful "Heh!" and jumped onto his back, sitting directly on him.
As he felt the almost negligible weight combined with the incredibly pleasant sensation, Blake’s bright blue eyes rippled slightly with emotio...
"Eina, could you split the earnings into two bags?" Blake asked, scratching his nose as he noticed the strange atmosphere.
"Sure. Here," Eina nodded lightly and quickly prepared two heavy bags of coins, handing them to Blake.
"Thanks for your hard work."
After accepting the bags, Blake smiled and handed one of them to Lili.
"Lili, this is your share."
"Uh, Blake-sama…"
Lili’s eyes flickered with both longing and hesitation as she stared at...
“Hey, Blake, how far down did you go? These stones aren’t from half-beasts,” Eina asked after selecting some of the largest stones, her tone filled with both shock and suspicion.
“Well, I stayed on the seventeenth floor for a while,” Blake said calmly.
“Seventeen…?! I thought the map I gave you…”
Eina gasped, her tone incredulous.
“What?! Seventeenth floor?! Is this guy really a rookie adventurer?!”
Around them, other adventure...
Babel Tower not only serves as the "lid" of the dungeon but also fulfills other roles.
One of these is housing deities and their prominent Familia forces, particularly in its upper levels.
That sudden, scorching gaze originated from the towering, cloud-piercing summit of Babel Tower.
In Blake's memory, aside from the goddess Freya, no other deity would be idle enough to spy on mortals in the lower world—let alone with such an intense gaze.
"It seems I've ...
As the sun set in the west, the day quickly passed.
Birds flew slowly toward the woods.
The sky gradually darkened.
The clouds were almost completely dyed a brilliant crimson, casting the dusk over the bustling labyrinth city, signaling to the people that the day was coming to an end.
At this time, adventurers from the Dungeon began to return, making the entrance to Babel Tower lively.
Because there was only one entrance and exit to the Dungeon, adve...
"Mooh!"
While Lili silently complained, a Minotaur on Blake's right suddenly howled angrily, swinging its giant stone axe towards him.
Whoosh——!
Facing this strike, Blake remained unfazed. He skillfully avoided the attack by staying just close enough to the swinging axe and, with a slight turn of his wrist, thrust his iron sword toward the Minotaur’s throat, drawing a streak of blood.
Boom—Boom—!
With two muffled sounds, the two Minotaurs t...
"Ais, since you want to learn, then I will teach you."
Blake paused for a moment before speaking.
"One Sword to Rule All " was a skill he had won from a lottery, and he had mastered it the moment he acquired it. Although he wasn't at a master level, teaching it to others was no problem.
"Hey! Blake, you’re really going to teach it? This secret technique is one of a kind in all of Orario!"
As soon as Blake finished speaking, Tiona shouted in astonishment.<...
