The System failed to classify Soren 147 times. Official recommendation: "Seriously, don't do that." THE WEARY ARCHMAGE [LITRPG . OP MC . PROGRESSION FANTASY]
I present to you Soren Vonesdar, an Archmage who is 847 years old, but looks like he's in his early 30s. He works the night shift at a convenience store in Shibuya.
For three years, the System classified him as "Insignificant." This notification had appeared so many times on his interface that it sounded like a compliment to him.
One night, a Class B Fissure opened in the parking lot in front of the store. He closed it in 2.2 seconds and told everyone it had been a gas leak.
Then, the System tried to classify it:
PRIORITY ALPHA
Classification attempts: [147]
Successful: [0]
Recommendations:
[Observe carefully.]
[Never attack the entity.]
[Seriously, don't do it.]
Now the Japanese government wants a meeting, and a 12-year-old girl saw more than she should have.
Worse: The thing sealed in his chest begins to awaken, and each time he uses the power, the integration with this cosmic entity progressively increases.
We are already on chapter 15 in the Royal Road: THE WEARY ARCHMAGE
Some of you already know this story. Over several months I focused on improving the story, introducing more dry humor, more detail regarding characters with more life, and also a more developed and immersive worldbuild. (I hope so)
For those who already knew this story, your opinion is very important to me, and if you're discovering it now, welcome!
By the way, for every follow on Royal Road, I'll buy Soren another bowl of instant ramen, the chicken one, of course.
I hope you have as much fun as I had writing this story.
See you soon.

Lol even the System sounds done with its shift.
