《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
Everyone looked at Frandin with shock in their eyes. That was an insanely high number since the guild never held back with the difficulty of the knowledge test. After all, why would the guild allow someone to pass with just a 50%+ result? That's the answer. It was hard!
Well, there was also the fact that Frandin was also taken aback by that result. During the knowledge test, he knew around 80% of the answers. As for the rest, well...he guessed. He took those questions and used the things he knew to compare before writing them down. Even he didn't expect that it would go so well.
Hudin nodded at Frandin with satisfaction as he said, "Good to see that you didn't slack off in the theoretical area." Following that, he continued announcing the results.
Madlam Lacal, 81%...
Suom Batevo, 75%...
Qimi Parana, 72%...
Eventually, he read the last name before looking at the rest of the Zasfins as he said, "The names I didn't call out has failed to achieve at least 50% of the questions right. You can leave."
Three-fourth of the Zasfins left right after, thinking about coming back another day. As for the rest, they were still nervous since they knew that the second test's results would follow.
"With that, the second test," said Hudin as he looked at the results. There were only 24 formations displayed during those two hours, one every five minutes. Naturally, it was a lot easier and faster to check the answers.
"Oh, Walton, you really know your things." Hudin smiled.
Walton June, 17 formations perfectly identified...
Suom Batevo, 15 formations perfectly identified...
Tossil Warnd, 14...
Frandin had gotten even more attention now. He was truly doing much better than anyone else. Well, Frandin was using a different name. On top of that, he would disappear once he got the study materials for Rean and Qia. That being said, it didn't matter much if the Zasfins paid so much attention to him in the end.

Hudin was indeed impressed with Frandin (or Walton in this case), but it wasn't as if he would make a big deal out of it. After all, someone like him appeared once in a while. Nevertheless, he liked to see these new formation geniuses.
In the end, one also needed to correctly answer at least half of the formations displayed in the second test, which sent more than half of the remaining participants home. Following that, they were all brought somewhere else.
Hudin then looked at the 9 candidates that remained before saying, "Alright, your job is very simple. Draw three Earth Low-level Formations of any kind. As long as they're functional, you will be admitted into the guild." He then pointed at a counter by the side of the entrance as he continued, "If you don't have the materials for the formation, you can buy them there. Of course, you will need to pay for it."
Hudin looked at the time before announcing, "You have three hours to finish the formations. You may now start."
Frandin didn't need extra materials since Rean and Qia prepared everything for him. He quickly headed to an empty space in the field and began to work on it. To make sure things would go well, Frandin decided to draw three very simple formations. Energy Gathering, Energy Flow, and Little Rain Cloud Formations.
Hudin noticed what Frandin(Walton) was doing and couldn't help but sigh. He felt like Frandin could do much better than that but was afraid to fail the test. Then again, that wasn't his problem, so he didn't intervene. However, he quickly noticed something different in Frandin's formations. 'Hmm? Those runes...this is the first time I've seen such an arrangement. There are a few runes I don't know about either.'

Well, that was to be expected since Rean and Qia taught him the Sunkan Planet's formations.
Frandin didn't need the entire three hours to finish them, though. By the time one hour was up, he had already completed all three formations. Well, that didn't impress anyone due to the level of Frandin's formations. The only one who showed interest was Hudin himself, who noticed that Frandin's formations used a completely different school of thought. Let alone the unknown runes.
Well, Hudin quickly recovered and didn't say anything. After all, he had to pay attention to everyone else's formations as well. He would take his time to analyze it more profoundly once everyone finished their jobs.
Time passed in a flash, and soon, the three hours were up. All nine candidates finished their formations, but only a few seemed confident that all three would work. Hudin didn't care about any of them, though. Now that he confirmed that there was no cheating during the process, he could move to Frandin's formation and check if it worked.
"This is quite a different arrangement of runes," said Hudin as he paid close attention to Frandin's formations. Soon, he asked, "There are even a few runes I've never seen before. Do they really work?"
Frandin laughed in response as he answered, "But of course! They are very simple formations, after all. Senior Hudin can go ahead and test them yourself. I'm only interested in getting access to the Formations Repository."
Hudin nodded with a satisfied expression and immediately activated the first one, Energy Gathering Formation. Sure enough, with Sunkan Planet's more developed formations, Frandin's Energy Gathering Formation showed a much higher level of efficiency than common Energy Gathering Formations.
"This..." Hudin was truly impressed. Only now that the formation was working could he see why Frandin used that arrangement and especially how the runes he didn't know about worked. "Where did you learn about these runes?"
Frandin shook his head as he replied, "I can't answer that without my master's consent. I'm sorry."
Hudin wasn't surprised by that. He was already 100% sure that Frandin had to have some incredible master. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bring out such a high level of proficiency. "I see..." Nevertheless, he was somewhat disappointed. However, he quickly recovered before saying, "Let your master know that our Formation Master Guild wishes to know him. I'm sure we have many things to discuss."
Frandin nodded with a smile, saying, "Sure."
Hudin then moved to the other two formations. Unsurprisingly, they showed the same level of improvement as the Energy Gathering Formation. Following that, he announced, "Walton June, you've passed the test."
Rean and Qia nodded from a distance as they simultaneously thought, 'That went easier than we thought.'

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.
