In the middle of the night, when the world was draped in darkness and the distant hoots of owls filled the air with an eerie symphony, I wearily returned from my intense workout session and collapsed onto my bed. The exhaustion in my body was palpable, but it was the relentless flood of random thoughts that plagued my mind, making it nearly impossible for to find sleep.
Since the day I regressed, sleep had eluded , maybe the only day I slept peacefully was the day I regressed, there were no days of peaceful sleep except it.
As I collapsed onto my bed, a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts swirled in my mind, hindering any hopes of drifting into the realm of dreams. Images of a rampaging fire dragon consud my thoughts, igniting a flurry of questions.
How could I stop the rampaging of the fire dragon? What actions should I take? Should I seek assistance from others? And if so, who could I trust? The weight of these thoughts burdened my consciousness.
Amidst the turbulence of my mind, I had managed to sketch out a rough plan. However, I couldn't ignore the fact that there were no guarantees it would work, leaving with no choice but to consider multiple backup plans.
As if the racing thoughts weren't enough, nightmares haunted my restless nights, further adding to the overall despair of my situation. It felt like I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of frustration.
Yet, despite all this, there was an enigmatic smile that danced upon my lips.
It was due the ssage that was displayed in front of .

I don't know when it happened but after I finished today's training I was advanced to 2-star!
"Finally, it took two weeks to advance from peak 1-star knight to 2-star Nadir knight!"
The star levels served as a asure of power and strength of an individual.
There were a total 9 star levels starting from one star ang going all the way up to the nine-star, each divided into three stages.
Nadir.
Transitional, and
Peak.
In the early stages an individual will experience a faster growth but as they advance further, it will get harder and harder to advance further, be it in the field of magic or in the path of knights.
But as of now, my stats were on the rise. combined with the stats that resulted from training and increasing my star level, all my stats except magic power has crossed the mark of 6.
But I was very disappointed with my growth, especially the growth of magic power which close to stagnant. Although magic power was less significant to close combat fighters, when one advance further in the field, it would beco more and more important.
I was still far from catching unto those geniuses. And as a matter of fact, I couldn't dream about catching unto them with ans such as these.
I needed to find so faster alternatives.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, captivating my attention.
The Exile.
A mystical realm birthed from the concentrated mana, the Exile was a portal that transported individuals to a forsaken corner once part of Hell, the demon's paradise.
Clearing an Exile ant being rewarded with increased power, even if it ant facing low-ranking demons within low-level Exiles. Such an opportunity could prove imnsely beneficial to soone like , yearning to bolster my current abilities.
However, there was a problem.
"How the heck do I find an Exile in this godforsaken island?"
The rarity of Exiles at this point in ti made the task even more daunting. Not to ntion, gaining access to an Exile was a complicated process, tightly controlled by the empire. Recognition from the Seven Towers or affiliation with major powers acknowledged by the emperor, like graduates of Freljord Academy or mbers of recognized guilds, was necessary to gain entry.
"Wait a minute! "
A sudden realization struck like a lightning bolt. There was one Exile that had appeared in the Black Forest behind the academy.
"If I rember it correctly.... "
It was that self-centered brat, Zephyr, who had discovered and cleared the Exile before the academy could even take notice.
Although it was later discovered by the academy and an investigation was held, it had been fruitless, as Zephyr had already reaped the rewards of his triumph.
Indeed, venturing into the Exile seed like the most honest and direct path to increasing my power. Yet, there was a significant hurdle to overco—I had no idea when the Exile would appear.
All I knew was that Zephyr had cleared it before the first ranking battles.
"Darn it!" I exclaid, frustration boiling over. Ti was of the essence, and Zephyr might have already discovered the Exile by now.
I ran out of my dorm to find Zephyr, no matter what, I was determined to enter the exile!
Little did I know that my impromptu quest to find Zephyr and following him to find the exile, would inadvertently earn the dubious title of "male stalker."
