Chapter 48 – The Journey Begins
Chapter 48: The Journey Begins Armored Dragon Calendar Year 418 – Rudeus, Age 11 --- The morning before departure arrived with an unexpected challenge. Minitona stood in the training clearing, her young face twisted with determination. Eris faced her from ten paces away. "I won't let you leave," Minitona declared. Her voice cracked on the last word. "If you go, I'll... I'll never forgive you." "That's stupid." Eris crossed her arms. "I have to find my family." "Then fight me! If I win, you stay!" I…-

Chapter 47: The Beast's Challenge Armored Dragon Calendar Year 418 – Claude, Age 13 --- The dungeon memories pressed against my consciousness. I stood at the forge, hammer in hand, sweat dripping from my brow. The heat billowed against my face. Sparks danced with every strike. But my mind was elsewhere. Down in those endless corridors. Fighting creatures that shouldn't exist. Crafting weapons from scraps because proper tools were a luxury I couldn't afford. Kuro's death played at the edges of my…

Chapter 46: Departures and Bonds Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417-418 – Rudeus, Age 11 --- The tornado spell nearly killed me. I had constructed a practice arena using frozen water and earth magic. Created a contained space where I could test flight techniques without endangering the village. "For human flight, this magnitude should suffice," I muttered, calculating the necessary velocity. "Approximately 100 meters per second." I had been practicing for three weeks. Tried every combination of Earth…

Chapter 45 – Enlightenment
Chapter 45: Enlightenment Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 --- "ROAAAAAAR!" The sound tore from my throat with unnatural power. Mana channeled through vocal cords that shouldn't have been capable of such output. The sonic wave struck the beast-tribe warriors like a physical force. Bodies fell to the muddy ground, groaning and disoriented. I stood over them, breathing hard. "Pathetic." Gyes, who had avoided the worst of the attack, glared at me from the edge of the training ground. "We…-

Chapter 44: Village of the Beastmen Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Rudeus, Age 10 --- "Embrace the heat, you cowards!" My voice echoed through the makeshift smithy. The beast-tribe apprentices flinched but obeyed, stepping closer to the forge despite the sweat already dripping from their fur. I had constructed this building myself. Hauled stone and metal up the massive trees where the village perched. Created a workspace that would have seemed primitive by Earth standards, yet was more than…

Chapter 43: Revelations Within the Rain Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 --- The meeting in Gustav's house started calmly enough. They had gathered to discuss the smuggling routes, the remaining slavers who had fled into the forest, and the logistics of tracking them down. Then Eris mentioned the ring. "This belongs to Ghislaine," she said, holding up a small band of metal. "I found it among the recovered items." Gyes's expression shifted. Darkened. "Ghislaine..." He spoke the name like…

Chapter 42: Aftermath and Revelations Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 --- The mana refused to move. I sat in the training clearing, eyes closed, reaching inward. The energy was there. I could feel it pooling in my core, responding to my will. But when I tried to push it past a certain threshold, it simply... stopped. Like a river hitting a dam it couldn't breach. I tried again. Visualized the flow. Directed it through pathways I had mapped over years of practice. The mana swirled…

Chapter 40 – Neglect
Chapter 40: Neglect Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Claude, Age 12 --- The tracker led me deeper into the forest. Two blips on the device. Two tracking signals within a ten-kilometer radius of the village. I had spent three hours searching, hoping that maybe, just maybe, some of my people had survived the teleportation and made it this far. The signals were weak. Inconsistent, but present. I followed the first one through dense undergrowth, past streams swollen with recent rain, over fallen logs…-

Chapter 41 – Building Experience
Chapter 41: Building Experience Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Rudeus, Age 10 --- I dropped my spoon. The metal clattered against my bowl, sending soup splattering across the table. Everyone around us fell silent. "Ruijerd Superdia," Claude said again, his voice calm and certain. "Have a match with me." I stared at him, searching his face for any hint of jest. Found only cold determination. Ruijerd, ever stoic, merely nodded his acceptance. No questions. No hesitation. As if dueling a child was the…-

Chapter 39 – Reunion
Chapter 39: Reunion Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Rudeus, Age 10 --- The dog's tongue was wet and insistent against my face. I groaned and tried to push it away. My arms felt like they were made of wet sand. My entire body ached. My mana reserves were gone. Even breathing seemed to require more energy than I possessed. "He's awake!" Eris's voice pierced through the fog in my head. "Ruijerd, he's finally awake!" I forced my eyes open. Morning light filtered through the tent walls. The dog, some kind…-
