In the world of fantasy tals, Adamantium stands above all others. It's often described as the tal of gods because it's incredibly strong and possesses divine qualities. Divine weapons are often made from Adamantium because of its unmatched power and durability. It's basically the best of the best when it cos to mystical tals, representing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and divine might.
As for Simon, you could say he's like soone born with a golden spoon, except in this case, it's an Adamantium spoon.
Born into the Royal family, Simon von Pri never experienced hunger or the feeling of lacking anything. Every desire he had was fulfilled before he even expressed it. He never went without food; toys and the latest gadgets appeared without him needing to ask for them.
Despite this life of luxury, Simon didn't beco complacent. He remained dedicated to training and working hard. If there's one challenge Simon has faced in his life, it's the challenge of hard work to beco strong. Despite his overwhelming privilege, Simon understands the importance of effort and perseverance.
Simon's narcissistic personality was fueled by the constant praise he received for his looks from a young age. This constant adoration led him to believe he was superior to others. However, it didn't make him complacent; instead, it drove him to train even harder to achieve perfection.
This relentless pursuit of perfection made him formidable—a combination of talent and hard work that seed almost divine. He beca known as undefeated, a man who never tasted failure.
However, everything changed when he entered Celestaria Academy. During the Battle Royale, he was confident he would erge victorious. Yet, to his shock and dismay, he was defeated by Dio Granvis, a child from a humble countryside family. This defeat shattered his perception of invincibility and forced him to confront the harsh reality of failure for the first ti.
Experiencing failure for the first ti plunged Simon into a deep trauma, causing him to miss the rest of the tests at Celestaria Academy. Due to his talent, he was eventually accepted, but his initial rank was at the bottom. This was a significant blow to his perfect self-image—a stark reminder of his defeat.
Determined to reclaim his forr glory, Simon intensified his training efforts. His rank began to fluctuate every month, reflecting his relentless pursuit of improvent. In the first monthly rank battle after his return, he defeated everyone, eager to secure the top position once again. However, his triumph was short-lived when he encountered Jake, the Rank 1.
Jake, as the Rank 1, was exempt from the ranking match, leaving him to face the victor of the other contestants, who Simon presud would be an easy opponent. However, this assumption proved to be a grave mistake. Despite Jake's seemingly lazy deanor, he swiftly defeated Simon in a matter of seconds.
This defeat dealt another blow to Simon's ego, further centing his reputation as a narcissistic freak. Obsessed with his own beauty, Simon beca fixated on maintaining his status as the most attractive, seeking solace in this superficial achievent after his loss to the Rank 1.
Each month, Simon relentlessly challenged Jake, hoping to finally erge victorious and claim the coveted position of Supre One. However, his repeated attempts always ended in defeat, further fueling his obsession with defeating Jake.
"This ti, I will win," Simon thought determinedly as he clenched his fists. "I will surpass him in both beauty and power."
His laughter rang out, sending shivers down Ethan's spine as he moved away from Simon, perturbed by his unsettling deanor.
"Why am I even on his team?" Ethan lanted to himself, feeling disheartened by the situation.
"Let's go, he's alone. We can defeat him," Simon declared, rallying his small team of fifty n to confront Jake once again.

Jake, who had been resting peacefully, opened his eyes upon hearing the footsteps approaching from the direction Ethan had left.
"Are they coming with reinforcents now?" Jake wondered, glancing in that direction. With a slight lean, he prepared himself for what was to co, feeling a surge of anticipation.
As Simon and his group erged from the trees, Jake observed them with a hint of amusent. "You're alone, huh?" Simon taunted with a laugh. "I'll defeat you today, Jake," he declared confidently.
"The Freak is really here," Jake muttered to himself, earning nods of agreent from those nearby who overheard him.
"Formation S," Simon commanded, and his team quickly surrounded Jake in a specific pattern.
"It's not Simon's formation, is it?" Jake smirked, addressing Simon.
"It's the Star Formation," Simon retorted with a snort.
Jake glanced around at the arrangent and nodded in acknowledgnt.
Simon then placed his hands on the ground while the others utilized elental chains to bind Jake in place.
"Really?" Jake mumbled with a hint of amusent, appearing as though he were wearing oversize clothes made up of colorful chains.
[You're not going to free yourself?] Nexus inquired as Jake remained bound by the chains.
"I want to see what he's doing," Jake replied quietly, choosing to observe the unfolding events.
The magic circle gradually ford around Simon as its center, its intricate lines weaving like serpents before coalescing into a beautiful white Magic Circle.
With keen focus, Jake used Akashic Insight to analyze and replicate Simon's magic, an ability exclusive to the Pri family lineage due to their special core.
[The Pri family is the only human family with Divine-related cores,] Nexus inford Jake.
Acknowledging this, Jake maintained his concentration on the Divine Summoning circle. As the circle completed, a figure erged – a lady adorned in dieval priestess attire, resembling a saintess with flowing golden hair, azure eyes, and pristine white garnts adorned with golden Divine patterns and Glyphs.
"It seems he summoned an Ancient Spirit," Nexus remarked, prompting a restrained smile from Jake.
"Is it intentional, or was it a fluke?" Jake pondered as he observed Simon's puzzled yet admiring expression.
Deciding to intervene, Jake utilized the Void elent to shatter the chains binding him before incapacitating everyone, including Simon. However, just as he moved to subdue Simon, the Ancient Light Elental intervened, shielding him within a golden barrier.
She looked at Jake and opened her mouth. "Fight , leave him," she commanded. Saying so, she snapped her fingers, and the barrier protecting Simon swelled, pushing Jake back.
[She is strong,] Nexus said, and Jake nodded.
"What's with that golden barrier?" Jake asked Nexus, who later, utilizing Akashic Eyes, answered Jake.
[It is Absolute Protect. It won't go down unless the caster is dead. It keeps working even if the energy supply is cut off,] Nexus explained.
[The only way to destroy it is to defeat the caster,] Nexus added. Jake clicked his tongue and thought, 'No wonder Sword Aura didn't even leave a mark.'
"What a cheat-like ability," Jake mumbled as he looked at the azure eyes of the Priestess.
"Do you have a na?" Jake asked.
The Priestess nodded and replied, "I was called Myne before I beca a Spirit, protected and sheltered by the world's will."
"It ans your deeds were really great," Jake smiled and said. Becoming a Spirit in Celestaria is akin to achieving immortal life, which not even Monarchs could obtain. However, a human or any other denizen of Celestaria can only beco a Spirit with the help of the world's will.
"Lady Myne, why are you protecting that idiot?" Jake asked.
Myne tilted her head and replied, "He called . His heart was pure, filled with a desire to defeat you."
"It was pure desire without any malice, so I responded. Besides, it has been centuries since soone utilized a Divine magic circle. I thought I might get a tour as well," Myne said with a smile.
"[In essence, she was feeling bored]," Nexus remarked.
"I have a request as well," Jake stated.
"What might that be?" Myne inquired.
"Enter into a contract with ," Jake proposed.
Myne arched an eyebrow, questioning, "But don't you already have a spirit contract, and isn't it even stronger than mine?" She gestured toward Jake or inside his soul.
"He does, but he refuses to heed my words," Jake replied with a bitter smile. "Whenever I try to communicate with him, he banishes from my own soul sea, claiming that I am weak."
"This is sothing new," Myne chuckled and remarked, "Let's fight, and I'll make my decision afterward." With a confident smile, she conjured various golden swords around her and launched an attack at Jake. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire
Jake leaped to avoid the swords and countered with his own barrage of spears.
"The Light Elent, so pure. Now, I'm intrigued," Myne comnted as she observed the incoming spears. With a wave of her hand, another set of golden armants materialized, forming into golden shields that protected her. Then, golden swords erged and launched an attack towards Jake.
Jake observed the barrage of swords, realizing that dodging wasn't an option this ti. Boosting himself with lightning, he suddenly appeared at a distance, wielding a golden sword with a purple handle. Myne sensed danger as she looked at the energized sword in Jake's hand, and her intuition proved correct as she heard his voice.
