Souls_

Samuel was born into the noble Armand family, but unlike others, he had no Soul Core. In a world where strength is everything, being soulless made him a disgrace. He was ignored, mistreated, and cast aside, even by his own family. His older brother, Victor, humiliated him. His father, Lord Armand, saw him as a failure. Even his cousins, Sera and Amelia, were forced to stay away from him.

For sixteen years, Samuel endured. He listened. He learned. But he never forgot.

Then, everything changed.

A near-death experience awakened something deep within him, a power unlike any other. Unlike nobles who wield only one element, Samuel discovered he could absorb the strength of his enemies. Fire, wind, water, earth, one by one, he took them all.

Now, he has a goal: revenge.

His path leads him to the Academy, a place where nobles and warriors train to become legends. There, Samuel will rise. He will shatter the system that once cast him aside. And when the time comes, he will kill Sir Aldric, the man who ruined his life.

They once called him weak.
Now, they will fear him.

Unyielding Fury

Samuel stood before a massive door, its big stone surface covered in ancient carvings. The edges were burned black, and the ground beneath his feet was cracked. His instincts told him that something powerful was behind it.

He placed both hands on the door and pushed. The stone opened. A wave of heat hit him in the face. He stepped inside, and the door slammed shut behind him.

The chamber was huge and wide, stretching so far that the end was hidden in shadows. Torches lined the walls, but the flames burned red instead of orange. Then he noticed something, he saw cracks on the floor. Then, the ground trembled.

From the dark, thousands of glowing eyes appeared.

Then, they stepped forward, Minotaur soldiers.

There were thousands of them, each over seven feet tall with muscular bodies covered in thick, red fur. They held weapons like, axes, spears, maces. all glowing from the heat. Their horns were long, and their eyes burning.

[Hidden Information: The Minotaur Boss commands a legion of 10,000 warriors. To reach him, you must survive.]

"Survive? You expect me to fight an entire army?!"

[Correction: You must kill them all.]

The first wave of minotaurs charged.

Samuel activated Shade Steps, vanishing from sight as the first axe swung through where he had just been standing. He reappeared a few feet away, but there was no time to react before another minotaur slashed at him. He dodged, but the next one was faster.

A spear stabbed straight through his stomach.

Blood poured out, but he didn't feel anything. Another blade stabbed into his back. Another into his shoulder. They were piercing his body from all sides, but there was little to no pain.

His body healed immediately, pushing the weapons out as his regeneration took over. He staggered forward, blood dripping down his body, but he was still standing.

Samuel lifted his hands and activated Water Magic. The temperature in the chamber dropped. The heat from the minotaurs' weapons hissed against the cold water.

Then he clenched his fist, and a blade of ice formed in his hand. The sword shines a deep blue, its edges sharp enough to cut through metal. He tightened his grip and charged forward.

The first minotaur swung its axe. Samuel ducked, slashing upward, cutting its arm. Ice spread from the wound, freezing its entire body in seconds. Another minotaur attacked, but Samuel jumped, using Wind Magic to boost himself higher.

Mid-air, he jumped, slicing through two more enemies before landing. He slammed his foot on the ground, activating Earth Magic, creating spikes that impaled several minotaurs at once.

Samuel's movements became a blur. He froze their legs, making them stumble before cutting them down. He used Wind Magic to push back waves of enemies and Earth Magic to form barriers, blocking attacks.

The ice sword cracked. He summoned another.

His mind was focused. His body unstoppable.

Despite being outnumbered, Samuel fought with all his strength. Every movement was efficient, brutal, and deadly.

But the minotaurs tried to resist, but they could not escape the ice.

Some tried melting it with their weapons, but Samuel was faster.

But there were still thousands left.

Samuel panted, surrounded by their frozen dead body. More enemies stepped forward, their eyes burning with rage.

And in the distance, beyond them all, the Minotaur Boss watched.
