《Monarch of the Darkness》C.4 Arte
Advertisement
Hayden was amazed, despite being confused after hearing about his complicated circumstance, Fay could still control herself and thought composedly. Furthermore, she also accepted it and acted warmly, trying not to make her brother worried.
Warmth filled Hayden's eyes. He felt grateful to have a caring and loving sister like this. "From now on, you are my dear sister. Thank you for trying to understand the complicated situation that I am in right now." Hayden said softly while caressing her forehead.
Fay smiled sweetly after hearing what Hayden said and told him not to be worried. A couple of minutes later, both of them started to let loose their hug. Without wasting too much time, Fay enveloped Hayden and Estelle with her Arte as they soon disappeared and reappeared near the courtyard.
Hayden was startled. He wanted to ask something, but Fay ignored him while she ordered Estelle to make them some tea, after that she pulled Hayden and asked him to sit beside her.
"Brother, how are you feeling right now?" Fay asked worriedly.
Hayden smiled while saying, "I'm good, don't worry about me. Oh, by the way, let me call you little Fay okay?" Hayden asked earnestly.
Fay smiled and nodded. "Please, I would be happy."
Shortly afterward, Estelle came and served both of them some tea.
After Hayden thanked her, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Fay just now. Hayden glanced at Fay while asking, "little Fay, what did you use just now? How come we suddenly disappeared and reappeared here? What is that power?" asked Hayden while sipping his tea.
"Brother, It was one of my Arte skill called Wind Movement. I can travel really fast with this skill. Besides, it was one of my innate skills, which is unique to me. " Explained Fay cutely.

"There are many kinds of Arte in this world. Every person has their own element of Arte, some of them even have more than one Arte in their body. It can be explained as a way of understanding and manipulating the forces of the universe. The deeper the understanding, the more powerful the user will be."
Hayden was hearing her explanation seriously. His interest peaked when she mentioned Arte. He thought that it was quite similar to cultivation.
"Brother, try to concentrate and sense your inner body. Arte usually located in a person's abdomen," asked Fay while touching Hayden's abdomen, trying to guide him.
Hayden nodded and started to close his eyes, he was trying to sense the location of his Arte.
After some attempt, Hayden finally found the location of his Arte. It was located in the inner center of his abdomen. His Arte has the shape of a venus-star like crystal with a thick black layer covering the outer shell. After knowing this, he was wondering what kinds of power did his Arte contain.
Hayden stood up and went straight to a big stone. He tried to condense and release the power of his Arte from his right hand. At first, it wasn't quite successful, but after some time, an explosion occurred and a hole appeared in the middle of the stone. One can see that the power of darkness still lingering around the crater after it penetrated the center.
"So that's my power. It was the power of darkness, not bad." Hayden smiled.
The power of darkness was corrosive. Hayden was impressed by it. Afterward, he closed his eyes and started to meditate. He was trying to make some skills for safety measures.
Fay watched silently and smiled after she noticed that her brother was suddenly enlightened. Without disturbing him, she left and went inside the house. Also, she ordered Estelle not to let anyone bother her brother until he was done meditating.

Time passed slowly and the sun was scorching hot and high up in the sky. Fay went outside the house and sat near her brother's place. She liked her brother's calm and serene looking face. Looking at her expression, no one knows what she was thinking deep inside her mind.
One hour later, Fay noticed Hayden slowly opened his eyes. She was astonished because there was a slight change in Hayden's eyes.
As Hayden subconsciously activated his Arte, his pupil changed color from brown into purple-black, making his eyes look cold like the depth of an abyss.
"From now on, I'll call this skill Eyes of Darkness." Hayden was overjoyed. Combining his Arte with his vision was really worth it.
Eyes of darkness could help him to concentrate and feel more composed in a battle!

The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time.

My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
