Chapter 26: The Thirteen Stars
Middle Continent, Qrystial, Xiantine, 1/3rd
In the middle of the night in an old inn in the classic style.
"Greetings to my master, I am Kai, about to deliver a message. Please hear it." Said a young man with white hair and covered clothes bowing his head saluting a teenage boy sitting in his study chair.
"I'll hear you," said the navy-haired young man as he continued to flip the book in front of him.
The young man conveyed all his reports to the man called Master by him.
"I see, can you keep an eye on him?" Speak calmly to teenagers.
"Good!" the young man said before disappearing into the darkness.

In the morning, the city of Qrystial seemed to be more crowded than usual. Yes, this is all because of the festival that was soon held in the city of Qrystial. All the residents gathered and decorated their stalls and houses with various decorations and lights.
Meanwhile, there were also foreign merchants who entered the city with their various items, most of them selling the main commodities that were generally difficult to obtain by the city of Qrystial. But besides that, there are also those who appear to peddle lanterns and candles and various small entertainment along the streets of the city of Qrystial.
These few days, the city of Qrystial was indeed very busy with its various activities. All of this prepared its citizens to celebrate the founding day of the power that overshadowed them, the Ghost Monarchy. Angels bring happiness to the little people and angels of death to the criminals.
Since the founding of the Ghost Monarchy, the city of Qrystial had become more lively. The inhabitants are not afraid of hunger, cold disasters or disasters from the wandering beasts. This organization forged a solid force with many great powers outside of Qrystial city, ranging from adventurer guilds, auctions, to many great royal empires.
This city was also used as a city of business and commodity exchange from various places and races. Surely over the arrangements of the Ghost Monarchy's leader. For that reason, the townspeople decided to celebrate with a festival in memory of the victories obtained by the Ghost Monarchy. Later on, the festival was referred to as the 'Thirteen Star' festival'.
The festival is held for 13 consecutive days. In these 13 days, they celebrated with many things, ranging from various contests and fighting events, to the auction of valuable objects. The festival ends with the release of lanterns as a symbol of hope for their city, their families, and their leader, the oracle of hope.

Middle Continent, Qrystial, 3/3
Today is the third day of the festival, or exactly 10 days before the peak party.
Ophiel village, a magic and martial arts competition.
"Ah, of course sir, who wouldn't want to celebrate the arrival of the master to this place?"
"Uhmm.. oh yeah? where's Barto? usually he would be very enthusiastic when he knew there would be a fight?"
"Ah, this is. I think he is in a strong fight with the big master" Alice said with a nonchalant expression.
"Oh? that so?" Raka said later.
Raka is currently 11 years old. Six years since his departure from his homeland, Arcnight. Four years since his departure from the Kaelmiff family. And two years since her resurrection as a witch.
Yes, two years ago he managed to awaken four skills at once, ranging from [Shadow domain], [Blue eye], [Sacred Thunder], as well as [Absolute of darkness]
The first ability he had awakened, the [Shadow Domain] was obtained from his past ability as Nonius.
The ability of [Blue Eye] he got as a pure skill from Raka himself who from birth had an outward skill, [Intuition].
The [Sacred Thunder] ability he obtained as an advanced skill from the blood power Raka had on her own. It deals with his extended family and surname, Arcnight, known as the keeper of the eternal war god, the owner of the thunderbolt Antares.
The [Absolute of Darkness] ability he gained as another additional skill. He himself did not know much about the origin of this skill to rise.
With his strength, it was not impossible for him to return to his original place, Arcnight. But in recent years, his master forbade him to rush, arguing his power was not yet sufficiently capable to deal with the enemy behind his royal coup. In addition, the final conflict occurred in his organization. Desas suss about the existence of traitors, until rumors that the ghost monarchy began to side with one of the two powers, the devil and the magic empire.His mind was dissolved when he realized Alice called him.
"Young master? is there anything you're thinking?"
Aware of his daydream earlier, he shook his head lightly.
"ah! No, don't think about it, you stay here, while I'm gonna go find the master"
Alice silently agreed, then let Raka go.
Raka stepped out and pierced through the crowd with her calm steps. He is currently working with the residents. It can indeed calmly come out, considering the city is crowded plus only a handful of residents who know the real identity.
In the middle of his steps he felt a familiar aura that made his breathing slightly congested. He also straightened his high body and opened his eyes towards the source of the aura he felt. However, that aura slowly disappeared just like that.
At the same time, in the corner of the tall building with its classic western architecture, a black shadow with red eyes grinned. A moment before disappearing, the shadow muttered, "Oh? looks like you're pretty happy huh, prince"
