Academy Arc 0
==========
Neo-"*Hmmm.. that Raze seems to know about my magic..Maybe I should of ask before killing him*"
Neo was pondering while he walk toward the edge of the forest , grabbing his cape he decided to unveil his origins of his power.
Neo-"No use to think about it.. I still have a clue..Colossal forest"
I really want to train some sword technique now that I have my magic back.. but .. my sisters are both a magician.. That's it , I will ask for some books!
As the sunrise , Neo's party went in a restaurant , ate and went back in their homes.
Neo tried asking sister Cyel and sister Ria if they know where he could learn any sword technique but they said that as a first year I would learn it in the academy.
As a child , I remember seeing my dad swinging his sword up and down every morning , the basic of the sword.
Every night in the forest , I would have to poke my thumbs to let my blood out directly from my small wound.
Holding my dark red sword tightly and firm , I could feel the heat and my heart beat flowing through my sword.
Swinging and swinging , back and forward, straight and precise , balance and muscle control.
I swung atleast 5000 times , the moon was halfway down , I decided not to ignore my routine so I ran around the trees , hitting the planks and moving boulders.
Sunrise , breakfast , returning home and since I didn't need much sleep , I decided to swing a normal steel that I got from the basement storage but I couldn't feel it like my own sword , my blood sword felt more like a part of me.
I decided to bring the steel sword with me and left home , I snuck outside the gate during the day with my hooded-cape and went back in the forest.
I swung my sword for the whole day until I starved myself , I would hunt for food in the forest , go back home at night and come back with my bodyguards.
My sisters kept asking me where I disappear to during the days and I told them that I went to explore the kingdom and to look for books.
During the day , I swung my sword atleast 30000 times and only stop when I was too hungry to continue , during the night I could swung 5000 times before the night falls completely.

More precise.. straight..faster..force..
power...
I kept repeating those words in my head everyday.
3 week has pass , school is starting in 5 days and my birthday is in 3 days.. I wonder how it will be like to celebrate my birthday with my sisters..sisters huh.. I should be having a younger sibling soon too..
2 days before my birthday , I decided to swung my sword all day and night , until the next sunrise.
in the middle of the night , as I swung my sword , I notice something like a wave of heat , flowing like the water going upward direction as I stop my sword , the heat mirage disappeared and I continue my training.
Again , after precisely swinging my sword , the heat mirage appeared again , without stopping I kept swinging my sword , faster and faster , precisely moving my blade in the same path everytimes.
As I swung my sword , the heat kept rising , my hands starts to move faster , my blade made it own paths in the air.
As I gradually got faster , I decided to strike once , with all my strength in my body , after a slight pause , I pull down my sword , slicing through the wind and my aim was to cut through the heat mirage.
BOOOOOOM
I got sent flying back crashing onto the tree , Sven comes running to me and starts licking my face.
Dart , Milly and Khuen quickly came inside the forest , as I was close to the cabin , it didn't surprise me they were already here.
Milly-"Oh no! Lord Neo what happened here?"
Dart-"It's so hot around here.."
Khueng was looking the surrounding for any enemies while Neo was laying down beside the tree.
Khueng notice something , a steam in the middle of the air evaporating toward the sky
Khueng-"Heat blade : Vortex"
Dart and Milly look at Khueng , noticing the steam infront of him.
Milly-"W..what.. Heat blade? Who would of done that?"
Milly look at Neo
Milly-"Lord Neo.. what exactly happened here?"
I walk toward my unsheathe Iron sword that was pierced in the ground
Neo-"Uhm...I was swinging my sword and It kept getting warmer...and a explosion.. caught me offguard.."
Milly-"But Lord Neo.. doesn't have a fire affinity.. how is that possible.."
Dart-"Milly , why would Lord Neo lie and it's obvious that it was Heat Blade , just feeling the heat , I myself , can tell"
Milly-"Lord Neo.. Please don't use that technique again..I don't know how you did it but.. its dangerous if your body cannot whistand the wave pressure.. you could get severely hurt.."

Khuen-"Lord Neo*thumbs up* If you don't enter the tiger's cave, you will not catch its' cub "
Neo looks at Sven and was confused of what Khuen said.
Dart-"HAHAHAHA , He meant that you can't be successful unless you take the risk"
Milly-"Wh..What are you guys saying! this is serious! Lord Neo could of gotten hurt you know!"
Neo-"Miss Milly.. please don't worry... I was just caught off guard.. It won't happen again next times"
Sacred Art
Milly-"...Lord Neo.... fine hmmp if you get hurt again , I , Milly will take away your sword from you for a month!"
*ting* Sacred Art advance to Lv 2
Neo held Sven in his arms and smiled
Neo-"But.. what is Heat Blade?"
Dart and Milly dumbfounded , looked at Neo with their eyes open
Milly-"Wh..what.. Lord Neo.. you mean you accidentally-"
Dart-"HAHAHAHA as expected from Lord Neo , a genius child , no a prodigy!"
Milly-"S..shut up Dart , we all know you just want more food , take this seriously already and explain to Lord Neo..unlike you both I have never experienced a Heat Blade attack...."
Dart-"Fine..fine .. Lord Neo is really amazing though.."
Dart start explaining
Heat Blade , is a technique when a fire user fuses his affinity with his blade , the sword will heat up gradually and if swung normally , it will make it easier to cut through armors or anything generally.
But when the blade reach a certain amount of heat , they can start bringing out their Heat Blade spells , such as the one I did ,
[Heat Blade]:Vortex is a absolute technique that pierce through anything infront of the attack but require a monstrous amount of mana so basically not any swordsman can pull it out.
Heat Blade other spells consisted of [Heat Blade]:Tornado , Wave , Pressure and Dimension
All of the Heat Blade spells cost a huge amount of mana and a rank 2 Warrior can barely stand after casting one while Dimension is the highest spell of heat blade , Vortex came in second highest.
It said that
[Heat Blade]:Dimension
could literally cut through space and times but no one have ever used that spell for centuries..No one really know if that spell really exist or not but It was recorded in the Ancient swordsman Grimoire.
Neo-"Then.. What is the difference between fusing the affinity and wrapping the affinity around the weapon?"
Milly answered my question simply saying to fuse a affinity , I will need a enchanted weapon.
Surrounding a affinity around a weapon is a common thing and everyone could do it , Hunters would surround their arrow to create a fire arrow , while Hunters who would fuse their arrows with fire , would create a arrow that has a higher chance of piercing through things than the arrow surrounded with fire.
Enchanted weapon are weapon with magic circuit that has been engraved with magic crystals to let the affinity flow through it , but the weapon must be atleast a
Supreme-class weapon.
I found a book in my new house that let me know the ranking system of a weapon
========================
*reminder*
(CURRENCY : Rupee = R
100 Yellow R = 1 Silver R
250 Silver R = 1 Orange R
Yellow R =YR
Silver R=SR
Orange R =OR)
=======================
Low Class 10 - 40YR
Mid Class 40-60YR
High Class 60-99YR
Superior Class 50-249 SR
Rare Class 400-500 OR
Supreme Class 1000 OR
Emperor Class ?????
Black Class ???????
Those are the basic price , but it can be different depending on where you buy them and if its Enchanted or not.
Enchanting higher class weapon requires alot of magic crystal and It may even break the weapon material so repairing is not possible.
Milly-"...Did you understand everything Lord Neo?"
I nodded
Milly-"Hmm but Lord Neo's doesn't have any affinity and the sword isn't enchanted.. How did you-"
Dart-"Hahahahah I told you Milly , Lord genius Neo is a prodigy hahaha"
Milly-"Ahh...I still can't believe this idiot is my friend.."
Khuen-"Only death cures an idiot"
Dart-"Wh..WHAT! Who's an idiot!"
Milly-"And Khuen.. stop with your ninja quotes already.."
Milly facepalms while Dart is stepping on the ground yelling at Khuen face , covering him in spits.
Neo-"Uhmm..I just.. swung my sword repeatedly .. that's all.."
Dart , Khuen and Milly look at Neo with their jaws open
Dart,Khuen,Milly-"* swinging repeatedly.. = Rank 2 spell?*"
Dart-"Well..what..can I say.. Lord Neo is indeed a prodigy.."
Milly-"Dart , stop trying to convince yourself already... I don't know how Lord Neo did it exactly but we need to leave the forest , the sun is rising "
Dart-"Mhmm food times! And plus tomorrow is Lord Neo's secret pa-"
Khuen and Milly threw Dart onto the ground and stomps on him.
As finally reach the gate , Sven was playing with Neo's hair and then Ria came running with a paper in her hands
Ria-"Neo!!! Your academy schedule is here!!"

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
