Doom

After rescuing Circe, Ex explained everything that had happened. "You're telling me this is one of the Hero's Trials?" Circe had difficulty believing what Ex was telling her. She had no choice but to believe him in the end, but the whole thing was so completely out of the blue that her reaction was only…

The Hero's Trials. They were dungeons that served as a device in the story for Leon to gain power. Each trial was a dungeon that required a particular method to overcome it. Clear a Hero's Trial, and it would grant power worthy of the accomplishment. The plot was simple and straightforward. There were all sorts…

From the moment Ex declared that he would enter the political arena, he had expected all manner of fraud and scheming to run rampant. The nobles of this world were the sort of people who would be nothing but corpses if you took their power away, after all. Even so, wasn't this happening far too…

Twenty minutes had passed since they entered the labyrinth. Ex's group had advanced while defeating golems made to resemble all sorts of monsters, including goblins and kobolds. The fighting itself had been fairly easy. When they first spotted the monsters, the three new teammates hadn't quite worked smoothly together. But that had lasted only a…

Atel Dane was a female student in the martial arts track, a martial artist whose abilities were at the 2-Star level. Her naturally light brown hair suited her quite well. Her eyes were the same color as her hair, giving her a distinctly healthy appearance. She was also on the tall side for a girl…

The aim of the plan had been simple. If the problem was that Leon relied on Ex, then Ex merely had to become someone Leon couldn't rely on. "I think I'll volunteer to play the villain." In other words, all he had to do was become the villain. Fortunately, Leon wasn't so stupid that he…

After the day of the emergency summons, a stir ran through the nobles at the academy. The cause was an invitation that had arrived for each of them. Nobles received letters and invitations for all sorts of reasons. That happened constantly. But this invitation was different. Its sender was none other than Ex de Dritania….

While at the imperial palace, Ex had anticipated a great many possibilities. How the distorted scenarios might change. How he should respond if a particular change occurred. He had explored as many possible future developments as he could. But Leon deciding to drop out had never entered into his calculations. He had considered the possibility…

Roxwell's hellish training hit all of Class F at once. The unfortunate news was that this state of affairs was going to continue. For the foreseeable future, everyone in Class F could look forward to aching muscles from head to toe. Even in the middle of all that, Ex wasn't particularly concerned. He was already…
