Sero Authority: Mindless Journey — Chapter 1: The Boy Who Stirred the Kingdom
"Don't stop attacking!" Noise Thompson, the club manager, shouted.
A being known as Morality had attacked the Kingdom of Arcanth. To stop it, the Second Prince of Arcanth, Emmanuel Harper, created a massive teleportation circle using his own life force.
The being—Nocthar, Morality of Consequence—was forced into the circle and banished to an unknown dimension.
The Second Prince of Arcanth fell.
Peace returned. But the event left a deep scar on the kingdom.

Years later…
A boy ran through the school grounds, already late for class — the fourth time this week. Edward Fairchild, the school director, will suspend me this time, Sero thought.
He finally reached the classroom and slowly opened the door.
"You're late again, Sero Hart," Teacher Matthew Aiden said, spotting him immediately.
"Sorry, Sir," Sero replied quietly.
"Just because you're an orphan doesn't mean you get any special treatment!" Nathan Ashford barked from his seat.
The whole class laughed.
"Enough!" Matthew slammed his hand on the table. "Since you want to play nice, Nathan, I'll ask you some questions."
Nathan stood up, smirking.
"First question: List all the Houses we have in Arcanth Kingdom," Matthew asked.
Nathan grinned. "That's easy. We have the House of Veyron, House of Ashford, House of Aiden, House of Blackwood, House of Kincaid, House of Marlowe, House of Langley, and House of Fairchild."
"Good," Matthew said. "Now, tell me why the House of Veyron ranks second to the Harpers, the rulers of Arcanth Kingdom."
"Because of their large Axiom Energy," Nathan replied confidently.
"Incorrect," Sero Hart interjected.
"How dare you reply back to me, you worthless animal!" Nathan barked.
Matthew raised his hand, silencing the class. "Then answer the question, Sero Hart."
Sero stood tall. "Because of their battle experience. The House of Veyron has competed in the Grand Stage League Premiership. While the House of Kincaid has similar Axiom Energy, they lack the experience that comes from such high-level battles."
"Very good," Matthew said approvingly. "Now, let's move back to our topic: Axiom Energy and beings known as Mortality."
