The Runesmith - Chapter 229: It’s too quiet…

A man with a lifelong martial arts background, raised in Asia due to his family's profession, moves to the US for education and work. He discovers Historical Medieval Battles through a colleague and becomes deeply passionate about it. He trains hard and becomes skilled enough to represent his country.During a competition, his armor fails, and he's struck in the head with a two-handed axe, seemingly dying. But is this truly the end?

Number 23 had it all.A warrior of unmatched power, a Transcendent capable of annihilating armies single-handedly, he was revered as a god among men. He seemed to have everything with wealth, fame, and influence at his fingertips. Yet beneath his cold, ruthless exterior lay an unfulfilled yearning—an elusive desire he couldn’t quite grasp...He wanted to be a hero.Despite his monumental achievements, Number 23’s quest for heroism remained unfulfilled. His life took an unexpected turn when he discovered a book titled [Bright]—a bestselling epic depicting a true hero's journey. Enchanted by its tale, Number 23 became obsessed, devouring every word in search of the heroism he craved. But his journey was cut short when he fell victim to a deadly ambush orchestrated by rival Transcendents, leading to his untimely execution.In his final moments, a single regret lingered in his mind.“I never got to see the ending of [Bright]...”As if answering his unspoken wish, Number 23 was reborn into the world of Bright—not as its celebrated protagonist or a key figure, but as an insignificant extra. Stripped of his former identity, he now inhabited the role of Amon Solaris, a character barely noticed in the grand tapestry of the story.Undeterred by his diminished status, Amon Solaris is determined to learn what it truly means to be a hero. But in this new world, he’s about to encounter a revelation that will change everything he thought he knew…Four chapters a week. New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

【White Eyes】+【Electromagnetic Force】+【Bow and Arrow】+【Science】

People are in Hyuga, start the awakening of electromagnetic force!

What kind of changes will occur when the sun is paired with the electromagnetic force?

Hyuga Satoru said, what is soft boxing?

Dogs don’t learn!

Aren’t electromagnetic guns fragrant?

What?

Hyuga doesn’t have a ranged attack?

My bow and arrow are paired with electromagnetic force, within the range of white eyes, where to shoot, the magnetic storm is here!

What?

Can’t Hyuga drive Gundam?

Hyuga Satoru snapped his fingers.

Electromagnetic force, move!

Completely in the middle of Susano’s body, Madara Uchiha looked up at the metal Gundam hundreds of meters high in front of him, and fell into contemplation.

An unknown Hyuga’s slander: Everyone is Hyuga, why are you so unscientific…

(Bow and arrows are upgraded to sniper rifles in the mid-term, and space-based electromagnetic guns are upgraded in the later stage)
