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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncIzyASYdz

Lunadea - Dorian, I've been wondering , were you born with any magical powers?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nQK4MJWPN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JxSkSks8T
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z3FKYFV1U
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucG99JK8A
Dorian - Why do you ask? Are you worried that we won't be able to succeed?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRlY8nbv5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bfpvrHwT0
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79yiggnurz

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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgftS5hM7N
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpgadPzG5p
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3fhbqz1BR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIwZl18hsv
Lunadea - Well? What is it? Why didn't you use it until now?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytVywiKBRJ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oj8JIzsKp
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOIcIsyFG9
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yXVNSxhA
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXCKUq9iPd
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbwLeEnwXn
Dorian - This isn't even a real camp. We have two leaf beds and a fire. Haha.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDINDOfeMh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg9bsSUkIJ
Lunadea - There should be a town around here somewhere. My mom told me to run here if something happened to our camp.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuigco9GPb
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RXKudJpq
Dorian - We'll find it. I'm sure of it.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv6Spk59Bn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQeArFRYsd
Lunadea - At least the sky is always beautiful.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctjZPcCuws

Lunadea - What? How?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzBuLzrTXe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPe1uoGk7N
Dorian - There's just something about it. It's such a mystery.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeXUiunB63
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9hJovTFx6

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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAoxtRIrgS
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGnCczZlKt
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqIDNSH8YJ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL8HxDtec5
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1FhZJdTO

Lunadea - Dorian...333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVRsJGzRnY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1Itoo10n
Suddenly, in the silence of the night, they hear a loud scream.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5r2vP3cDW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoe0fTWGXF
Dorian - Did you hear that?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1nyLVTMrm
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbtAmt441G
Lunadea - Let's check it out, but be careful.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwagYexSUgK
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbyNCQhzRk
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlaScFv2Jf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICWbL3sFX
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WjCmMBjXH

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZatqAIKI6
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroAn7eISEZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPhVtw8a9F
Ereadus - Sorry if my daughter troubled you. My name is Lord Ereadus, Lord of the castle in Mysteria.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkW8TIKZ3s

Lunadea - It's no problem...333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1uSFqqlHM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuMRtKTLxL
Lunadea responded, but she had a feeling that something was off about this situation.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX39S7kLhl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3AQxLlA38
Dorian - We're a bit lost, Lord Ereadus. Could you tell us how to get to Mysteria?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsfISbTQyj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJwklFNmG
Ereadus - It's to the north of here, about 20 minutes' walk.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncii9Bymw
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWxWXdKSqi
Dorian - Thank you.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSWReUGxN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh835P3dH8o
Ereadus - Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll be on our way. Mangetsu, come along.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFMnpgBirJ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLK3PvJ7H3
Lunadea - Wait a minute! Why was your daughter screaming and why are you guys out here at night?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztAxumP75
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6To2lI2bEk
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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61bsJ7GB7v
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3yFRNKR28
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TU4744xHr
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW7lspEnhF
Lunadea - Hey, are you okay? She asked the white haired girl.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa81hnaFaVU
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E9lqdSSVr
The girl smiled, but she was smiling like she was at a loss, like she was a little bit sad.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFECHMYMel
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAlMPKoUSS
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHLc2CXMn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU42HeqLxEi
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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hvlKUgr3g
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzEkTgf0FL
Dorian - I'm not.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgnS9PpubZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj981UT4y7a
Lunadea - What? Dorian, you seem distracted.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXJKDYeBOu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2UAZFiHy1
Dorian - Oh, sorry, I was trying to figure out what their story is, but I have no idea.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9K7ebtDLc
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofEgCh0q6b
Lunadea - So why did you let them go?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw8Nd1mgyQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy3zWsIZh2
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxL2mqEHBa
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mRBQK34Qb
Lunadea - But what about that girl...333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y23JELzdD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f3rq6H5dG
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkr7ubjk4T
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4w3g0sG5W

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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmEV8OyfHX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHByqajuYwR

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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWGTRgMOiX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIQilO80VR
