The night was so deep that even if the sun were to rise right now, it would fail to show itself.
In this darkness, the Ardent family estate felt almost lifeless. The gardens, however, still looked faintly alive, their colors barely visible beneath the shadows. The massive sword statue that stood at the center of the garden—so proud and powerful during the day—was now submerged in an eerie darkness.
In front of that statue, Eren sat on the ground.
…The sword I created feels different here.
That thought crossed his mind quietly.
Today had been exhausting.
Should I awaken Goo's sword already?
No.
If I awaken it now, things could go wrong. No one can control that sword yet. Until Goo grows stronger, that blade must remain asleep.
Eren sighed inwardly.
I also met that girl today.
I'll have to fix the relationship between Goo and her. If this continues, it'll turn into a serious problem later.
And that spy…
He reminded me of someone. Like someone who played an important role in the future.
…I'll think about that later.
Eren sat there, arguing with himself in silence.
If I want to fulfill my desires, my dreams, I need power.
Otherwise, I'll only be able to achieve the smallest wishes in this world.
No. That won't be enough.
"…Let's train."
He calmed his mind.
Within moments, Eren felt something leave his body.
Slowly, colors began to appear in the environment.
Energy.
He gently began drawing green energy from the surroundings.
It flowed into his body.
Then, little by little, it reached his energy land.
This time, he felt something he hadn't felt in the morning.
The moment the energy entered his body, a strange sensation spread from his chest throughout his entire form.
And then he realized—
His body itself was the energy land.
It wasn't a place.
It was existence.
…If such a careless power system works this well, what would it have become if I had truly refined it?
Whatever.
What's done is done.
Then a thought echoed in his mind.
Right. I almost forgot about the Heavenly Restriction.
Doesn't matter. I already built a solution for it.
Green energy is safe, but it can't give me enough power to even fight someone at my own level.
But if I train with one more energy—
Just once—
He laughed quietly.
This will be fun.
I might even rule the world.
…Enough, Eren. Stop fooling around.
There are things I know that no one else does. I know what they're capable of.
I should focus.
Right now, green energy is safe but too slow.
White energy is fine for me too, but it won't be useful right now. It's a good energy—important for the future—but not at this stage.
And my body isn't strong enough to handle more than two energies at once.
So white is out.
That leaves the rare ones.
Among them, only blue can help me right now.
Alright.
Blue it is.
Eren quickly suppressed the restless thoughts in his mind and calmed himself again.
Energy appeared in the environment once more.
Slowly, he used half of his threads to draw in green energy.
With the other half, he touched blue energy.
Within moments, both energies began to move.
As long as they remained outside, they pushed against each other violently, as if driven by deep hatred.
But the moment they entered Eren's body—
They calmed instantly.
Like mischievous children turning obedient the moment they stand before their father.
For a brief moment, Eren's body trembled.
Then it stabilized.
Green energy flowed as it always had.
But blue energy—
It circled around the green like armor.
Protecting it.
And once both energies fully settled within him—
A strange, gentle warmth spread through his body.
"…Wow," Eren murmured.
"This feels amazing."
He continued training like that for a while.
Then, slowly, he stopped.
…This kind of training is seriously difficult.
Can't I practice energy while walking? Or doing something else?
I mean… I can try.
He muttered softly.
Honestly, if it weren't for the Heavenly Restriction, I'd never be able to handle both of these energies at once.
In just a few hours, I've already trained the equivalent of several days.
Eren lay down gently.
Staring up at the sky.
Not far away, a faint light spilled from a small palace window.
The night remained deep.
And somewhere within Eren—
Something continued to quietly grow.
There, by the window, Merry
Ardent sat quietly, staring outside.
Suddenly, she sneezed.
"…Who's thinking about me?"
Is the Young Master really different from the others?
No. No way.
He's still a descendant of a rich, royal family. He must have the same arrogance.
He was probably just being polite to me back then.
But that boy…
He laughed at me.
Just wait.
When I become a sword master, I'll show him.
Then she frowned.
But the Young Master said I can't become a sword master…
Ah—right.
He's from a sword family, isn't he?
That must be his pride talking.
He doesn't get to decide whether I become a sword master or something else.
…Whatever. I'll sleep.
At the same moment, Eren suddenly coughed sharply.
"…Who's thinking about me now?"
I didn't even put my character into romance back then.
Tch. What am I even thinking?
Eren closed his eyes.
"Tomorrow,"
he thought,
"I'll become a little stronger."
And that night—
He fell asleep.
His first true sleep in this world.
On the right side of the palace, in a corner of the garden—
Goo stood alone.
He swung the sword through the air.
Again.
And again.
Each strike faster than the last.
Each one stronger.
His grip tightened.
His swings grew smoother.
After a while, he stopped.
"…Ah."
"So tired."
He sat down, breathing heavily.
After some time, thoughts crept into his mind.
The Young Master is training for the first time.
Normally, he'd just wander around like he had nothing to do.
…Doesn't matter.
He said I'm his new bodyguard now.
So I need to become stronger.
After all, the leader saved my life when I was a child.
Goo fell silent.
Then his expression darkened.
That girl—
No, that guy.
Because of him, the Young Master got angry at me on my very first day.
I'll kill him someday.
At that exact moment—
Far away, Merry Ardent sneezed loudly.
"…Anyway."
Let's see what the Young Master is doing.
His eyes widened.
"…He's asleep?"
You came here to train, not to sleep.
Shaking his head, Goo walked over and gently lifted Eren into his arms.
"I have such good dreams, don't I, Mitsuki…"
Eren murmured in his sleep.
"One day… I'll complete all of them…"
Goo frowned.
Who's Mitsuki?
And what dreams?
All he ever does is wander around.
…Whatever.
Far away—
Thousands of miles from the Ardent family—
Inside a dark room belonging to a powerful household—
A quiet conversation was taking place.
"Has he reached the Ardent family?"
"Yes, Master. He has."
"He'll deliver the news to us soon."
A low, cold laugh echoed.
"If he's there…"
"Then the Ardent family is already dead."
What happens next?
