MT - 66 Rudeus

Roy sat deep in thought, contemplating what he lacked and the weaknesses in his current abilities.

The more he mulled over it, the drowsier he became.

Peering out the window, he noticed the world outside had gone still, with only the chirping of insects breaking the serene silence of the night.

He yawned. Th...

MT - 65 The Plan

Mastering swordsmanship isn't just about wielding a blade; it's about truly understanding it.

Ghyslaine retreated several paces, her beast-like eyes locked onto Roy with an intensity that seemed to pierce through him. Letting out a sharp breath, she admitted to herself that her movements had been completely read by him....

MT - 64 Strenght

Roy never dreamed of saving the world. His focus was entirely on himself. Yet, even so, Rudeus often found himself lost. To be precise, he lacked a clear goal.

In his previous life, he had been an ordinary person—perhaps not even that by some standards.

He was weak, lacking courage or the resolve to bear any gre...

MT - 63 Path

The magic flowing through Roy's body ebbed away like a receding tide, and his form reverted to that of a refined, graceful young man. He stood there, exuding a composed charm. Yet, having witnessed his earlier display of power, the contrast between this seemingly fragile youth and the fierce combatant from moments ago left th...

MT - 62 Strong

"Listen to the howling winds of the gods." Roy muttered, exhaling a deep breath, his voice cold and detached.

Ghyslaine's beastly eyes gleamed with interest as she leaned forward. Her muscles tensed, coiling with the energy of a predator. Her already formidable frame swelled as her raw power built up, and with a flash o...

MT - 61 The Duel

Roy was in a foul mood.

No matter how he tried to convince himself otherwise, educating children was an inherently frustrating task—especially when the child in question was someone like Eris.

After much thought, Roy finally gave up on shaping her into a cultured, well-mannered lady. In fact, she wasn't even clo...

MT - 60 Teaching

It must be said that Roy's storytelling skills were rather lacking. Even Rudeus couldn't help but laugh at the side.

Eris, however, was completely unmoved. She lazily rolled over, casually interrupting with a dismissive tone, "Yes, yes, I get it. I'll study hard, I promise."

Roy's expression darkened, his golden e...

MT - 59 Tutor

Reluctantly, Eris began attending the lessons Roy had carefully planned for her.

He couldn't help but smirk. An eight-year-old trying to stand up to him?

In the end, Roy was reminded that no matter what you did, your own strength had to match the challenge. If not, you'd end up like Rudeus—bruised and defeated.<...

MT - 58 Compromise

Hearing Heathcliff's words, Roy exhaled silently in relief. He'd been genuinely worried the GM might decide to stir up trouble on a whim.

But just as he started to relax, Heathcliff added something that made the tension climb back into his shoulders.

"Oh, by the way, I find you rather interesting. We should duel s...

MT - 57 Invitation

Most players regarded the four-person party with admiration.

Unlike Kirito, who had once earned the stigma of being labeled a beater due to his position as a beta tester hindering the progress of others, the trajectory of Roy's group was different. Clearing the first floor within three days of the game's l...

MT - 56 Kiss

Asuna's mind was in complete turmoil, her heart racing uncontrollably. The phrase butterflies in her stomach had never felt so fitting. Roy pointed toward the bright moon outside the window, his gaze lifting to the sparkling stars above. In a rare shift from his usual carefree demeanor, he spoke in a low, magnetic voice:

MT - 55 Worries

Roy finally mustered the courage to stand outside Asuna's room, his cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment.

The room number, of course, was provided by none other than a certain anonymous classmate, Misumi, who had expended considerable effort to glean this information. After sharing the details with Roy, she couldn...

MT - 54 Teasing

Misumi instinctively nodded, then immediately shook her head. Gripping Asuna's shoulders, she started shaking her. "What do you mean by 'you already know'? Come on, if you're asking for relationship advice, can you at least be specific? You didn't used to be this vague!"

Asuna, slightly dizzy from the shaking, pushed Mi...

MT - 53 Motivation

Roy adjusted the coat he had just equipped, feeling its attributes settle into place. While its boosts were decent, they weren't as significant as he'd hoped. Still, the Dragon's Guard trait made it noteworthy.

The black trench coat swayed gently in the breeze, its quality undeniable. Yet something about its design didn...

MT - 52 Power

The Kobold Lord struggled back to its feet, grabbing the massive sword that had fallen to its side. With a roar, it charged once more at the group.

Roy took the lead, his black iron blade glinting with a faint blue glow.

Beside him, Misumi guarded his flank, her oversized purple scythe slicing through the air with...

MT - 51 The Fierce Battle

With a slight push, the grand doors creaked open under Roy's hands.

The iron doors groaned, revealing a vast and imposing hall.

Dozens of towering columns lined the space, holding up the lofty roof. The floor, paved with polished granite in a medley of five hues, bore mysterious patterns carved with intricate prec...

MT - 50 Preparation

Roy carefully retrieved a small, ornate box from among his collection of trinkets.

Unlike Rudeus, who hoarded certain sacred artifacts, the contents of this box were different. When Roy opened it, it revealed an intricately crafted figurine of Roxy, rendered with astonishing detail.

Yes.

This was on...

MT - 49 Resolving

Rudeus felt a strong grip on his collar pulling him backward. The force yanked him just in time, and Eris's slap landed harmlessly in the air where his face had been moments before.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Rudeus turned, about to voice his gratitude, but Roy's sharp glare stopped him in his tracks.

Truthfully,...

MT - 48 Conversation

"And you—what qualifies you to teach me magic?" Eris's sharp gaze swept past Rudeus and landed on Roy, who clearly led the group.

Roy paused for a moment, considering his response. Then, he said calmly, "How about my mastery of water magic at the Saint class?"

A hush fell over the room. Philip and the others wer...

MT - 47 Eris

Roy silently vowed that if Philip continued making such remarks, he couldn't guarantee the man wouldn't someday find himself ambushed in the dead of night by a masked assailant—and beaten senseless.

The heated argument in the corridor had been loud enough that even a deaf man could have heard it. Naturally, Philip had...

MT - 46 Conflict

The man's aura was commanding, his sharp gaze exuding the natural dominance of someone accustomed to wielding authority. Coupled with his rugged appearance, it was enough to make most people instinctively avoid eye contact.

Faced with such a presence, Rudeus unconsciously took a step back. He had always been uneasy arou...

MT - 45 Arrival

"Wake up."

Ghislaine's cold voice broke through Roy's nap, rousing him from slumber. He blinked awake, only to find Rudeus staring at him with an inexplicable grin. The sight was unsettling enough to shake off any lingering drowsiness.

Roy frowned, his irritation clear. "What are you grinning about, Rudeus?"

MT - 44 Paul’s Letter

Roy scoffed. Did Rudeus really not realize how little gratitude he usually showed? And now he had the audacity to spout such shameless words?

"I wouldn't look at me for help." Roy said with a slow, deliberate tone. "Dealing with kids is a hassle, and it's not my specialty."

Rudeus let out a dramatic groan, already...

MT - 43 Ghislaine

Ghislaine raised an eyebrow as she glanced at Roy. With a puzzled expression, she asked, "Is this your daughter? The letter said there would be two boys learning swordsmanship from me."

Roy felt a pang of déjà vu, reminiscent of his first meeting with Roxy. It seemed history was repeating itself.

With a resigned...

MT - 42 Sword King

Roy stepped forward and offered his hand to his fallen father, pulling him to his feet.

Paul dusted himself off and sighed with a mixture of pride and nostalgia. "Roy, you've grown up. It's time you had a better teacher. In a few days, I'll ask an old friend of mine to train you in swordsmanship."

Roy immediately ...

MT - 41 Sword Ruler

The two locked eyes, their gazes sharp as steel.

Roy stepped forward with his right foot, drawing a deep breath. The muscles in his right arm tensed, and in an instant, both figures vanished from sight.

Ten meters. For Roy and Paul, that distance was almost nothing. With their physiques, they closed the gap in the...

MT - 40 Sisters

It's worth noting that Paul, that fool, inevitably made the same mistake as in the original story.

Should we say it's just like Paul? Although he promised to live a good life with Zenith, it seems he couldn't control his lustful nature.

So, during the winter of the past two years, Paul found himself in quite a dif...

MT - 39 Back

Roy nodded to himself. This time, he refrained from unleashing his Berserk, relying instead on standard sword techniques to deal with the enemies.

When it was over, Asuna regarded him with wide eyes, her curiosity apparent. "What kind of sword skill was that? I've never seen you use it before."

She wasn't...

MT - 38 Level Grinding

On the other side, Roy grabbed Asuna's arm, his face stern. "You're aware of the situation, I presume?"

Asuna's expression crumbled. "We're doomed."

With an exasperated sigh, Roy flicked her forehead—not too gently—and declared, "Pull yourself together. Right now, our goal is to defeat Akihiko Kayaba and crush...
