Chapter 1: Goal
Morning arrived gently, like a quiet promise whispered across the land of sphere kingdom.
The distant crow of a rooster broke the silence, followed by the soft, rhythmic chirping of birds hidden among the trees. Golden sunlight slipped through a small window, stretching across the wooden floor before finally reaching the face of a sleeping teenage boy.
Leo.
The warmth brushed against his skin, stirring him from his dreams.
His eyes slowly opened.
"Yawn… what a beautiful morning," he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep, yet carrying a natural brightness.
He sat up, stretching his arms above his head as the quiet comfort of his home wrapped around him. For a brief moment, he stayed there—just breathing, just feeling.
But today wasn't a day to linger.
Today felt different.
With a sudden burst of energy, Leo jumped out of bed and began gathering his belongings including a iron sword. He moved quickly, almost excitedly, as if something ahead was calling him forward.
After finishing, he headed downstairs.
The familiar scent of warm soup greeted him before he even reached the dining area.
"Good morning, Pops," Leo said cheerfully as he entered.
His grandfather looked up, a gentle smile forming on his face. "Oh, you're awake now, Leo. Come here, let's eat."
Leo sat down, but his eyes wandered around the room.
"Pops, where's Granny?" he asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"She went to the river to pick some vegetables," Pops replied. "She'll be back soon."
Leo nodded and began eating.
The moment the soup touched his tongue, his expression softened.
It was warm. Rich. Comforting.
It tasted like home always.
"Mmm…" Leo closed his eyes for a second. "Your cooking never disappoints, Pops."
Pops laughed heartily. "Hahaha! You say that every morning. I'm starting to get tired of hearing it!"
Leo blinked in surprise.
Then Pops chuckled again. "Just kidding!"
The two burst into laughter, their voices echoing through the small house.
For a moment, everything felt simple.
Peaceful.
After finishing his meal, Leo stood up, wiping his mouth as excitement returned to his eyes.
"Thank you, Pops. I'm heading out now. See you!"
Pops waved his hand lightly. "Stay safe, leo. Goodbye."
Outside, the world felt alive.
Leo walked along the dirt road, his steps light, almost bouncing with anticipation. The breeze brushed past him, carrying the scent of grass and river water.
Then—
In the distance, near the riverbank, he spotted a familiar figure.
"Granny!" he shouted, raising his hand.
The old woman turned, her face lighting up instantly. "Oh, Leo!"
"I'm heading to the district Granny!" he called out.
Granny smiled warmly. "Alright, take care on your journey! Come back safely!"
Leo grinned and waved before continuing on his path.
Soon, towering gates came into view.
The Circle Kingdom – Southwest District.
As he passed through, the atmosphere shifted.
Voices. Movement. Energy.
This was where adventurers gathered. Where heroes were made.
Leo walked through the streets, his eyes scanning everything with quiet excitement. But then—
He stopped.
He check
The leaderboard.
Slowly, he stepped closer.
*Scroll*
His eyes searched… and found his name: Leo Sorva Levarion
(E Rank Category)
19,460 XP
His smile faded.
As he saw another name.
Ash voidel.
20,005 XP
Leo clenched his teeth as ash have higher xp than him.
"That idiot… he didn't even tell me he went hunting…"
"Hahahahaha!"
A sudden voice exploded beside him.
Leo jumped.
"Did I scare you, little mouse?" Ash laughed.
Leo immediately smacked his head.
"You dumbass! You didn't just scare me—you nearly scared the life out of me! And you didn't even tell me you went hunting!"
"Ouch!" Ash rubbed his head, frowning. "My father called me. There was a D-grade monster near our house. It was nighttime too, so I couldn't call you."
Leo crossed his arms. "Still… I want to rank up too, you know."
"I know," Ash said, grinning. "That's why we're going now."
Leo sighed… then smiled.
"Fine. Let's go."
As they approached the guild, something changed.
The noise… faded.
The crowd… parted.
Two figures walked forward.
Amber Rosethorne.
Solfin Quimero.
The Absolutes.
Reo felt his breath catch.
Amber's beauty was overwhelming, like a rose blooming in perfect form—graceful, dangerous, impossible to ignore.
Solfin, on the other hand—
His presence felt heavy.
Like standing beneath a collapsing sky.
Then— Everything stopped.
No sound.
No movement.
Time itself froze.
Leo couldn't move. Couldn't even blink.
And the— It resumed.
Amber and Solfin were gone.
"What… just happened?" someone whispered.
"William Chronostein…?" Crowd voice said.
Before anyone could process it—
BOOOOM!!!
A massive explosion shook the ground.
The earth trembled violently as shockwaves spread across the distance.
In response, Sphere Kingdom's magic barrier activated, flickering across the sky like a transparent dome.
The force of the explosion collided with it—causing a brief distortion in the air before it stabilized.
The ground trembled violently.
Everyone turned toward the outer gate.
Far beyond the kingdom…
A colossal shadow stood.
"The Abyssal Dragon…"
"Humanity Threat…?!"
Fear spread.
(Some of people who watch are breathtaking as they first time seeing absolutes fighting a monster.)
But Leo— Reo didn't feel fear.
He felt something else.
A pull.
His eyes locked onto the battlefield like it was a stage meant only for him to witness.
***
The Battle Begins
Near the grain farm close to the forest, Solfin stood calmly, his gaze fixed on the dragon.
He raised one finger and point.
"Divine Beam."
A massive beam of golden energy shot forward, tearing through the air and slamming into the dragon's chest.
The impact carved a crater into its scales.
"Watch your aim!" Amber snapped, narrowly dodging the blast.
"Relax," Solfin replied casually. "You're still alive."
Amber clicked her tongue as the dragon's tail swung toward her.
She leapt back, eyes glowing.
"Let's see how you handle this… Thorn Judgment."
The ground erupted.
Massive rose vines burst upward in the surface, wrapping tightly around the dragon, their thorns piercing deep into its flesh.
Then a sudden— "Blaze!"
A blazing blue arrow descended from the kingdom's core wall, igniting everything it touched.
Flames consumed the vines and the dragon alike.
"That bastard…" Amber muttered.
"…trying to steal the kill again," Solfin finished.
The dragon roared.
"ROOOOOAAAARRR!!!"
The sound shook the kingdom itself.
People covered their ears as the dragon's roar are so loud.
Reo stood frozen.
Then—
The dragon began to glow with an imminent dark purple light.
Its wounds closed.
Its body expanded.
Its scales hardened, shining with a terrifying brilliance.
It had evolved.
The Absolutes Gather
Solfin narrowed his eyes.
Amber's expression hardened.
Without a word, they moved at the same time.
The battlefield shifted instantly.
Solfin and Amber dashed in opposite directions, splitting the pressure of the dragon's presence.
But the Abyssal Dragon reacted faster.
Its massive head turned—its glowing eyes locking onto Solfin first.
The air trembled.
A colossal tail swept through the battlefield like a falling mountain.
"Too slow," Solfin muttered.
But before he could fully evade—
BOOM!
The tail struck him mid-motion.
His body was sent crashing through the forest, breaking tree after tree before slamming violently into a distant cliffside.
Stone cracked on impact.
Dust exploded into the air.
At the same moment, the dragon opened its mouth.
A surge of crimson flame erupted forward like a tidal wave, aiming directly at Amber.
"Tch!"
Amber clicked her tongue and slammed her hand forward.
"Rose Wall."
The ground erupted.
A massive wall of thorned roses bloomed instantly, twisting together into a living barrier.
The crimson flame collided with it—
HSSSSSHHH!
Steam and fire roared as the roses fought against the heat.
But the dragon's flames were overwhelming.
Within seconds, the rose barrier began to wither and burn.
"Impossible…" Amber whispered.
The wall shattered.
The explosion of fire struck her directly, sending her flying backward.
Her body crashed through scorched trees before hitting the side of a mountain.
The impact cracked the stone.
Smoke rose from the battlefield.
Amber groaned, forcing herself to move.
Instinctively, she raised her arm—
A whip of hardened rose vines wrapped around her body in an instant.
Thornwhip Rosaria.
The weapon activated just in time, shielding her from the remaining flames.
She slid down the mountain wall, leaving a deep trail behind her.
When she finally stopped—
Her hand trembled slightly.
A faint burn mark marked her skin.
"…Damn it," she muttered.
Her eyes sharpened again as she looked toward the dragon.
"This thing isn't normal…"
Meanwhile—
Far across the battlefield, silence lingered in the shattered forest.
Solfin stood where he had landed.
Unmoving.
The trees around him were broken, the ground cracked beneath his feet, yet his presence remained strangely calm—almost untouched by chaos itself.
He slowly exhaled.
"…That hurts," he said calmly.
His eyes narrowed slightly, not in panic—
but in mild irritation.
As if the damage he took was nothing more than an inconvenience.
Then a sudden—
New presences arrived.
Dante Simondant.
Zein Zenith.
Tomoe Zenith.
William Chronostein.
Dante stepped forward.
"Gravity Dominion."
A massive spherical field expanded outward.
The world bent.
Gravity shifted.
Debris lifted into the air, floating like lost fragments of reality.
The dragon slowed, its massive body struggling against the pressure.
Meanwhile—
Zein moved.
A flash of blue lightning are only got seen as zein speed are almost light speed.
"Lightning Pierce!"
She struck one of the dragon's eyes using his daggers.
As tomoe followed instantly with a bright flash of yellow lightning, burst into the ground leaving a huge creater. In a matter of second she reaches the right eye.
"Lightning Cut!"
The second eye was destroyed.
The dragon screamed in rage, letting a crimson breath everywhere.
Blue and yellow streaks of lightning danced across the body of the dragon as the siblings attacked relentlessly.
While William & Dante
Not far from the chaos standing in the grain farm, Dante stood calmly within his domain.
William appeared beside him.
"You're really not going to join?" William asked.
"They're doing fine," Dante replied.
"That's not what I asked."
Dante exhaled quietly. "If I step in, the fight ends."
William smirked. "And that's a problem?"
"They're enjoying themselves," Dante said, glancing at Zein and Tomoe.
William chuckled. "You're too considerate for someone controlling gravity."
"And you're too curious for someone who controls time," Dante replied fairly.
For a moment, they simply watched.
Then— A distant explosion echoed.
William's eyes narrowed. "Michael's getting impatient."
"…Then we should finish this soon," Dante said.
A bullet—small, precise—shot from the palace.
It struck.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion tore into the dragon's chest scales.
"I think we should end this," William called out.
Zein and Tomoe nodded.
At that moment—
A blue blazing arrow.
A powerful beam.
And massive thorned vines.
All struck at once.
The dragon was burned.
Pierced.
Crushed.
And finally— It fell.
Silence.
Then— The kingdom erupted in awe.
"So that's… the power of the Absolutes…" crowd chattering.
Leo stood still.
His heart racing.
His eyes shining.
A fire had been lit inside him.
Above the gate, a mysterious girl holding a bow watched the same scene.
At the same time— Both of them whispered:
"I will become one of the Absolute someday"
