Arcana Mob

A few centuries ago, a spatial rift suddenly appeared on this continent called Pangaea. The spatial rift had created a lot of disasters and had cut down a huge proportion of humanities. But when humans thought it couldn't be worse, the second Spatial rift came.

A few years after the First Spatial Rift, when humanity had just tried to rise from the rubbles, the second spatial rift appeared.

Huge portals started appearing everywhere and spawned a dungeon that was inhabited by unknown species later identified as monsters and other races. They spread chaos everywhere, and humanity had almost gone extinct because of them.

Their strength was far behind their opponent, and even their technologies didn't differ that much. It was pretty reasonable that humanities would lose this war and be pushed back by the monsters.

But soon, humans began to find their trace of hope in this seemingly hopeless situation.

Not long after, the third Spatial rift appeared and gave birth to hope for humanity, by giving them something called Arcane Card. The Arcane Card itself didn't only take the form of humans. They could be deities, past heroes, or even monsters that could do things humans could've only dreamt of doing in the past, like summoning fireballs or cutting through mountains.

Counting from the first day when the spatial rift appeared, three hundred years have passed like a flash.

After years of fighting, humanity finally was able to reclaim 40% of their land, while the rest still belonged to the monsters.

A big federation, Ultima federation, now stood as humanity's seed of hope. With the supreme threat of extinction, humanities finally disregard all their difference and join hand together to create a big federation as a safe haven for humans, as well as their base in retaking back their earth against the monsters.

Looking at the status card in his hand, Cade could only give an awry smile.

Rank (I) Arcane, No matter where he went, this title always followed him around.

As a person with Rank (I) Arcane Card, Cade's overall strength was almost the same as a regular human being. Furthermore, his Arcane Card, Spectre, almost didn't have any combat capability and could only do some support work like reconnaissance or lighting the dark place, something that was completely replaceable by technologies.

With the exception of being a bit stronger and his wounds healing slightly faster, Cade was about the same as regular people in every other aspect.

Every time the school was holding a practical class, Cade was always either ranked last or injured badly that he couldn't enter the ranking and needed to stay at home for the next several days.

He had always gotten injured that some small bruises were like an old friend to him now.

Of course, it wasn't as if Cade was a masochist and liked to be injured.

However, it is not like Cade had any other choice. Finishing high school is a must, and without finishing high school, Cade's life would even be more miserable.

He would not be able to access the job market and could only live by begging for the mercy of others. Therefore, even though it was very painful to him, Cade could only grit his teeth and hope that he could finish high school as soon as possible.

After Cade finished his shower and entered his room, he immediately pulled his drawer open, which contained a blank card inside. It was a piece of card that looked like a tarot card, but for some reason, the front part of it was empty.

This card was the last gift from his father before his father went missing.

" Bastard Father, when will you return? Don't you know me and Elsa are living a very hard life right now?." Cade said as he took the empty card into his hand.

Cade carefully examined the card, hoping to see there were some changes in the card. However, the card remained the same as always.

Every day after waking up and before school, Cade had always observed the card. People might think that this was just an empty dysfunctional card. However, his father's words at that time clearly made Cade think the other way.

" Cade, remember. If there's a time when I'm gone without any trace, remember to keep this card safe. This card would be the only hope for our family to survive!"

It was the last time Cade remembered he had talked to his father. The very next day, his father had already declared missing by the federation.

" Just what are you... And why did father put such an important degree to you... *Sigh* Forget it. That bastard father must have his own reason.."

As there was still no clue about the card, Cade then put the card back in his drawer and went to the dining room as he saw his little sister, Elsa, was already quietly waiting for him at the dining table.

" Sorry that it took some time, Elsa. I was lost in thought when I showered."

" It's okay, brother. After all, Elsa is a good girl and will always wait for her brother."

The little girl, Elsa smiled sweetly, which made Cade's heart warm. In this world where the strong reign and the weak could only kneel before them, the only thing that continuously pushed him forward was Elsa's smile.

Cade rubbed Elsa's head, much to her displeasure as it also ruined her hair, with a chuckle, he went to the fridge to prepare for dinner.

" By, the way, what do you want to eat, Elsa?"

" Egg fried rice!!"

" *Sigh* Egg fried rice again? Your body also needs some nutrients, okay?"

" Hehe, Elsa doesn't care. Elsa likes big brother's egg-fried rice so much!"

Looking at the little girl's smile, Cade shook his head helplessly.

This little girl.. she knew that the condition of her family was pretty bad, so she didn't really want to burden his brother by asking for something extra.

Cade could only put this thought deep inside his heart and promised that he would do his best to make Elsa happy in the future.

However, there was a slight problem here. When Cade checked the fridge, he had just noticed that they were out of eggs.

" Hm.. it seems we are out of eggs. Wait a minute here, Elsa. Brother will be back with some eggs!"

Cade closed the fridge, and he then threw on a pair of clean pants and a shirt.

"Brother, are you heading out? It won't be late now? Elsa watched the TV, and it seemed that recently there had been some cases of people disappearance in the neighborhood. It's okay. Elsa also likes fried rice without egg!" Elsa worriedly asked.

Still, Cade had already made up his mind. Even though his body still hurt a bit from all the beating from before, he just couldn't let his little sister eat worse than what she usually had.

He patted the little Elsa's head, and with a reassuring smile, he said:

"It's okay. Your brother is strong. Just wait for a bit here. By the way, don't forget to lock the door and only open it when you hear me coming!"

"Eh? Ehhhhh? Wait.. brother!!!" Elsa stood at the doorstep in a daze, watching her brother's disappearing figure.
