Dorian and Lunadea traveled for a week, spending each night sparring and training together to improve their skills. Since it was unsafe to travel at night, they took advantage of the time to hone their abilities.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1061Ri42tK

Lunadea - Dorian, I've been wondering , were you born with any magical powers?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU60TioZQix
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWcG8YZUYG
In this world, magic is a rare and highly sought-after ability. It can only be possessed by those who are born with it, and it cannot be learnt or trained. The more magical abilities a person has, the more powerful and special they are considered to be. Some people are born with just one type of magic, while others may possess multiple abilities. Unfortunately, those who are not born with magic are often looked down upon and considered ordinary.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmg13Q0MnT
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQuXyOeTt
Dorian - Why do you ask? Are you worried that we won't be able to succeed?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQFq46GVx
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4jFWPmzk3
Lunadea - Well, you told me that we should enter the tournament and that's why we've been sparring every night. But even though I think you move really well, I don't think we have the power to compete with the other entrants.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyaeL7GjFn

The Shadomin Tournament is a prestigious event held every 10 years, where teams of 5 compete against each other to earn the title of the king's personal guard, known as the Shadomin. It is a grueling competition that tests the skill and magic of the participants, the last team to survive the tournament wins, and all 5 members become tier 3 Shadomins.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GAGRAOnS3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jyyOjGYws
Dorian - I know, Luna. The tournament is in three months and we need to get stronger if we want to have a chance at winning, on top of that we need to survive alone. As for your question, yes, I do have a magical ability. It's not as flashy as your fire power, but it is unique.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG4KH9axEQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEzUPZ88ZL
Lunadea - Well? What is it? Why didn't you use it until now?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOIHnbs9zc
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv25dYUvBQ
Dorian - I can stop time for a short period, just as long as a clap. When I do it, my eyes turn wierd and yellow. I can do it up to three times, but if I use it more than that, I get strange blind spots in my vision and my head hurts for the rest of the day. It's hard to describe, but it's like weird geometric flashing designs that are painful to look at.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iRRyCnLZ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6moWkRxxn
Lunadea - Wow, that's amazing! Well, not the side effects part, but now I understand why that old man told the villagers that you could take them all down. With your speed and that magic, they wouldn't even have time to react!
Dorian - Thanks, Luna. I think you're really strong too, and that fire sword you do is super cool.
Lunadea - We need to gather more wood or the campfire is going to go out.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxsQOhKUmF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstgjxDGg34
Dorian - This isn't even a real camp. We have two leaf beds and a fire. Haha.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMp7dIRVvg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Z5vdOmXR
Lunadea - There should be a town around here somewhere. My mom told me to run here if something happened to our camp.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkrdazPBAC
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinh3yOi9wu
Dorian - We'll find it. I'm sure of it.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1FA777V5k
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNeZzLyFlv
Lunadea - At least the sky is always beautiful.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WoTdU8Zj9
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdm6tVdsIb

Lunadea - What? How?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YLqjlTJTL
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hlCBL8HyQ
Dorian - There's just something about it. It's such a mystery.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHyJBwwYnV
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutanXNs29I
Lunadea - That's it! That's the name of the town: Mysteria!253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmrtl1yYQG

Lunadea - Hey, Dorian. If we fight in the tournament, I might have a chance to achieve my dream. But your grandma mentioned something about your own dream. Can you tell me what it is?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst5i8WrgvA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh27EqpiDlN
If you become a Shadomin and advance to the first tier, you'll be able to compete in a 1v1 tournament that is held every 50 years. The winner of this tournament gets the chance to challenge the current king for his spot as ruler.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U89PJbDXX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1imcJWTIP
Dorian - My mom and dad were Shadomins of the second tier. When I was young, they left to protect the king and never returned. I never understood why they left me for the king, and so I want to ask him directly. Winning the tournament will help me do that.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieHf5SOyHS

Lunadea - Dorian...253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP2hOo40eI
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZzZYxkev0
Suddenly, in the silence of the night, they hear a loud scream.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhia4RKds4R
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzUNaCS98Z
Dorian - Did you hear that?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomhAYa4lmi
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXFL13tQ1
Lunadea - Let's check it out, but be careful.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qb7AzrMG3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTqKbZK3DG
Upon hearing the scream, Dorian and Lunadea rush to investigate. When they arrive at the source of the noise, they find a trembling girl. She had a slender and petite figure. Her silver hair was styled sleek and straight, long and falling past her waist. Her blue eyes stood out against her pale complexion, large and expressive. Her face was characterised by delicate features, and a small nose, giving her a youthful and fresh faced appearance.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfemMOZ5s
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZKqM2f9BH
She was surrounded by undead skeletons. Without hesitation, Lundea wields her sword, dispatching a group of the skeletons, while Dorian swiftly moves in and out of the fight, destroying the skeletons behind the girl. Together, they work to protect the girl and defeat the undead attackers.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ796ai3CqH0
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp86HxyNBGy

Girl - Ehm... Who are you guys?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88uJlhdXLI

??? - Mangetsu!253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7jpI8ESD3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K4680rrBa
Out of the darkness, a man appears, dressed in luxurious clothing adorned with many rings. He is an older man, with graying hair, tall and imposing in stature.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWvB0G5Vg3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjAXMBY7FC
Ereadus - Sorry if my daughter troubled you. My name is Lord Ereadus, Lord of the castle in Mysteria.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbidGjPEsW

Lunadea - It's no problem...253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLVL1k1k4v
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94X3Sx9R7H
Lunadea responded, but she had a feeling that something was off about this situation.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSZ77RhqP6
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2zebyZ0so
Dorian - We're a bit lost, Lord Ereadus. Could you tell us how to get to Mysteria?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7vg70SxrD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrHNgJevT
Ereadus - It's to the north of here, about 20 minutes' walk.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvcBNukNlR
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30bJyd9dn
Dorian - Thank you.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgoUf99Kyp
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DvMneAjrA
Ereadus - Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll be on our way. Mangetsu, come along.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj1TJ8FRjr
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT90W64W4Xm
Lunadea - Wait a minute! Why was your daughter screaming and why are you guys out here at night?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunGuj8Mbkm
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZgjRbdws
Ereadus - Night? It's morning, girl. We were out for a morning walk and were attacked by those undead. Thank you for your help, but don't be so impertinent with me. Lower your voice when speaking to a lord. Or is it that in the Dämoneneko culture, there are no lords?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOfCqpcfUW
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEi2HWUXF
Lunadea was dressed in one of my mom's outfits, with a cloak on her head. My grandma gave it to her so she wouldn't be recognised.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rzdb4xAZJ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AURBc9Lno
Lunadea - Hey, are you okay? She asked the white haired girl.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQWwsBsFJD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOfyw66vp
The girl smiled, but she was smiling like she was at a loss, like she was a little bit sad.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKl5UwxnLS
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNNcZWrr6v
Lunadea thought to herself, how can anyone be, so sad when they smile. The lord and her daughter left, and so did Dorian and Lunadea.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ292IVKcj6p
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZ2C0emGU
Lunadea - Dorian, don't you think it was suspicious that the lord and his daughter were out here in the middle of the night, surrounded by undead skeletons?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHlxuzGIHH
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyXK3Iy4V0
Dorian - I'm not.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAb6LO4PYc
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ718kytjAp
Lunadea - What? Dorian, you seem distracted.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxCz1jRDPS
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pi8krn6Fc
Dorian - Oh, sorry, I was trying to figure out what their story is, but I have no idea.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CIe3r5TW7
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlxkxea34f
Lunadea - So why did you let them go?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIjUWyBhiX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRGytu0TG
Dorian - We can't risk getting into a fight with someone as powerful as that lord. Did you see the weapons he had on him? A golden sword, blood-stained nails, and an air of complete calm despite your flaming sword and my quick disposal of the skeletons. He should at least have been on his guard around us, what if we were bandits? That guy is definitely a skilled fighter and probably a magic user too, given how he didn't flinch at your flames.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EOtYBKTox
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbHW3e9Ep
Lunadea - But what about that girl...253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqOMdNaCUS
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VKiHV1i4
Dorian - He said he's the lord of the castle in Mysteria. Let's find out more about them first before jumping to any conclusions.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGEebhwrM
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaO12IkOtk

As they approached the town of Mysteria, Dorian and Lunadea were immediately struck by the vibrant energy of the place. The streets were bustling with people of all shapes and sizes, from merchants hawking their wares to harlots beckoning passersbys from the shadows. The air was thick with the smell of spices and sweat, and the sound of laughter and shouting filled the air. Everywhere they looked, there were armed thugs trying to intimidate or seduce anyone who caught their eye. Dorian and Lunadea had never seen anything like it before, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as they navigated through the crowded streets. As they entered the bustling tavern, they were immediately struck by the lively atmosphere. People were still drinking and singing along with the bard, and it seemed as they did it all night. Dorian and Lunadea made their way to the tavern keeper, who was busy serving drinks to a group of rowdy patrons.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT1ez6YQsu
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U2v0XETVY

As Dorian made his way up the stairs, he couldn't help but notice a strange girl sitting in the corner of the tavern. She was dressed in a way that seemed meant to conceal her identity, just like Lunadea did. However, there was a jar of sand sitting next to her that truly caught Dorian's attention. What could she be hiding, and why was she carrying around a jar of sand?253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoqYijZoHD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Q3PQyh7y
The tavern door was thrown open with force, and a man's voice echoed through the room253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW4ZejU3ma
