The bald guy with the beard got up to his feet and pulled a large stave from his storage device. He also summoned a chestplate and armor from his storage directly onto his body.
Oh, it seems he is finally getting serious, Julius told himself with a smirk.
Julius felt an incredible amount of mana get...

“How much longer are you going to try this?” Alice asked him while sipping on her mug.
Julius didn’t waste his time answering her, he was too busy focusing on his most recent strategy.
Burn himself faster, that was his new idea.
It wasn’t the best nor smartest plan. At least that was Alice’s ...

Julius was panicking. His eyes darted back and forth, his perception skill on full blast trying to find his target.
He didn’t find the stall where he had seen it the last time he was there. He rushed around the plaza that held many other stalls like a chicken with his head cut off.
This was possibly ...

Hector POV
Hector was the third son of Lord Brandish. Unlike his other brothers and sisters, he didn’t have something that made him stand out. This made him pretty bitter at times, but he had found his true calling.
A couple of years ago a powerful group approached him with an offer. He didn’t...

In the end, it wasn’t even a big deal. Dante gave him a pair of clothes that he said would be able to withstand whatever flames he was able to create. They were a few sizes too large for him, but it was better than nothing.
While he would have done it either way, he would have much rather not have gone through that ki...

“So what now?” Julius asked after wiping the wetness from his face, purposefully ignoring Alice’s and Dante’s smirks.
“Now you should have some room for you to evolve your Fire Concept without your soul collapsing in on itself even with my assistance,” Alice told him.
“Yeah, you never explained that ...

“Can you stop throwing them so hard?” The woman asked indignantly.
“It won’t work unless you feel pressured to actually dodge them,” he argued calmly.
“Yes, and that would be a justifiable reason if not for one thing.”

Time honestly flew by in the blink of an eye. He honestly expected since he wasn’t training like he had, that time would pass by very slowly.

He was wrong. Again. Admittedly, that should no longer be a surprise to him or anyone anymore.
The pain was definitely not temporary. The pain was very much so constant and painful. Did he mention painful?

Although the old man grumbled the entire time, he did in fact create the device Alice wanted from him. Julius learned from Alice that Dante wanted to know more about his skill in order to create an object that mimicked many of its functions.

Lily POV

He told Lily everything. From his meeting with Dante a couple of months ago. All the way to his meeting with Alice and what she had told him.

Honestly, Julius didn’t really have any other choice. She was right. He hated to admit it but she was. He would most likely try to evolve his healing skill, hoping that it would solve his soul crisis. He would be too impatient to wait for his soul to heal “naturally”, as she put it.
While he still couldn’t know ...

Julius was feeling really worried at this point. The two of them both made it sound like he had some sort of terminal illness. They were even ignoring him like he was already dead.

Julius was currently rubbing his head. It was still sore from where she whacked him after he threw her exact words back at her. The most annoying part was that he hadn’t even seen or sensed her move. One moment he was fine and the next his head was getting walloped.

Eventually, the two of them had to get up. It was the weekend and also the day that he had promised Dante that he would go back to visit him. He didn’t want to see if the man was serious about beating up and kidnapping him if he didn’t show up.
He actually thought it was pretty likely considering the little ti...

The rest of the rift was not very exciting. In fact, the raccoon was the most interesting opponent he faced.

After he left the rift with Declan, Julius immediately headed back to campus. He would have liked to stop and see Rae and Orus, but he could always do that another time. He already had plans to delve again, this time on his own. He would visit them after that.

Julius crashed his fist against the nimble wolf. He could practically see the surprise from the wolf as his knuckle covered in spikes obliterated the wolf's jaw.
It was blasted away with a high-pitched whine and Julius was quickly swarmed by the rest of the wolves. There were too many to block each attack, so he f...

He stood up and wiped off the crumbs from the pastry he had been munching on from his clothes. The black cloth made it more difficult to eat, and he ended up with buttery flakes all over it, but it was worth it. It would have been a crime to waste such a delicious treat.

Ten minutes in and a lot of mana later, Julius still hadn’t gotten anything. Once he got used to the weird sensation of not breathing, he was quite comfortable.

If there was one thing that Julius wished he could go back in time to fix. It would be the exact moment he arrogantly stated that learning a Fire Concept would be easier than learning the Sharpness Concept.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to learn a Fire Concept that night. He was disappointed, he really thought that he had a chance of doing so.
He also knew that if anyone else was listening to his expectations and thoughts, they would punch him in the face for thinking that learning another Concept was that easy.
