"The Fated Rival of the Moon"

After the banquet, Azrael Kaelthorne wasted no time. He retrieved the Magic Card he had received from the family head and immediately put it to use.

[System Notification: 250 High-Level Potions Purchased.][Potions Stored in Inventory.]

He glanced at the sheer number of potions now in his possession. These were not just simple healing elixirs—they were some of the highest-grade recovery items available. With his preparations complete, he gathered a five-month supply of food and locked himself inside the Kaelthorne Family's Closed Training Room, an isolated chamber where only the strongest warriors honed their skills.

But this wasn't just any normal training session—this was a calculated move.

Azrael knew that the lady of the house—his stepmother—was planning to send him on a mission as soon as his training was over. That meant one thing: he had a limited amount of time to grow as strong as possible.

And so, his true hell began.

The Path to Power

The first thing he purchased from the System Shop was the Spells of Umbral (Darkness) and Ignis (Fire)—two high-tier magic arts that would further enhance his combat potential.

But spells alone weren't enough.

To truly push himself beyond his limits, he bought Body Strengthening Potions—elixirs that worked by breaking down his body and rebuilding it stronger. Each sip brought agonizing pain, as if his muscles were being torn apart. But Azrael endured.

He drank the potion.

His body shattered.

He consumed tens of high-level recovery potions to heal.

And then, he did it again.

For five months, this process repeated itself endlessly, his body pushed beyond human limits, regenerating stronger each time.

Alongside his physical conditioning, Azrael mastered the Kaelthorne Family's Swordsmanship Technique—not just the Beginner and Intermediate Forms, but the Advanced Level as well. His swordplay became sharper, faster, deadlier.

He learned dozens of new spells—elemental attacks, body enhancements, and domain-type techniques.

And when his training finally ended, his strength was undeniable.

Conclusion

As Azrael Kaelthorne emerged from the closed training room, his eyes glowed with newfound power. He had become an unstoppable force, but he knew one thing—he was still not the strongest.

For now, he was second only to Elaris Velmira.

But that would change.

He had four more months before the mission his stepmother planned for him.

And during that time… he would surpass everyone.
