- Chapter 74 - Chapter 74 The Magic King of Solara
Chapter 74: The Magic King of Solara Chapter 74: The Magic King of Solara Here’s the refined version of your story in English, written in a clear and engaging light novel style: The morning light greeted me as I woke up in the infirmary bed of Solara Magic Academy.
I had a vivid dream where the [Power of Incarnation] activated, showing me events that unfolded on Earth after I left last night.
The seniors who attacked Nana were arrested by the police for assault and sexual harassment.
The CEO and those same seniors faced justice, receiving sentences of eight years in prison.
The video I uploaded to social media went viral, sparking widespread outrage and protests against the company.
Their stock plummeted, and their business operations came to a grinding halt.
Nana and Kai resigned together, receiving public support for standing up to the vile coworkers.
Not long after, they were offered jobs at Japan’s largest and most prestigious tech company, headquartered in Tokyo.
Both were hired as assistant managers in business development, a role intended to groom them for eventual managerial positions.
When the offer came, Nana, Naki, and Mom were overjoyed.
They hugged each other tightly, crying tears of happiness.
The generous salary-on par with that of senior managers in regular companies-was an added blessing.
Initially, Nana hesitated, doubting whether she could handle such a significant role.
Mom reassured her, saying it was okay to decline if she felt overwhelmed.
However, Nana resolved to accept the challenge, inspired by the memory of “Mr.
Sunglasses,” who had risked himself to save her.
Her determination grew stronger knowing Kai would be by her side at the new job.
Kai even promised to protect her from other bad men.
Ultimately, Nana accepted the offer.
By the following week, she and Kai were officially employees of the prestigious company.
Though the beginning was tough, the supportive work environment helped them adapt quickly and excel in their roles.
Gradually, Nana’s emotional wounds began to heal, and her radiant smile returned.
… I believe the dream was a glimpse of reality, shown to me by the Goddess of Benevolence.
I’m also convinced that Nana’s string of good fortune was the result of me using the [Grant Good Fortune to Your Family] feature.
I felt relieved knowing Nana had found happiness again.
However, a lingering worry gnawed at me-the potential for similar incidents threatening her life.
After all, I had yet to complete the Main Quest, and the penalty for failure was Nana taking her own life.
Fate hadn’t fully loosened its grip on her.
I had to change that destiny!
For now, my focus was clear: completing the Main Quest, graduating from this academy, and becoming a hero.

I could only entrust Nana’s safety to Kai-senpai for the time being.
“Good for you, Nao.
Your big sister is better now and pretty lucky, too!
Hey, wouldn’t it be smarter to use all your Goddess Points to give your family endless good fortune and a mountain of money?
That’d be a shortcut to happiness!” Envi suggested enthusiastically.
“I don’t think that’s right, Envi,” I replied firmly.
“If I did that, they might come to rely on everything being easy and grow complacent with instant wealth.
I want them to keep fighting for their future, and I’ll step in when they’re truly in trouble.
Not everything instant is good-you should know that.” “Ugh… fine,” Envi grumbled, sounding slightly disappointed but accepting my reasoning.
“By the way, you have an invitation from the Magic King, Salvador von Solara, this afternoon at the royal palace.
Get yourself ready, Nao.
If you embarrass the name of Blackmore, I’ll smack you!
HAHAHA!” Envi said, laughing mischievously.
“I don’t need you to remind me, you annoying system.
I’m more worried about you hijacking my body to flirt with the girls at the castle!” I shot back.
“Oh, now that’s an idea!” Envi teased with a devilish grin in his tone.
“You pervy little system!” I yelled, exasperated.
…
The next morning, I was ready to leave the infirmary.
After gathering my things, I hurried to meet my friends in Professor Lowen’s office.
Coincidentally, my friends who had also contributed to the fight against Norx had been summoned by the Magic King as well.
They were to receive recognition and rewards for their efforts.
When I arrived, I was greeted by Lyra, Freya, Amelia, Luna, Marius, and Kael.
They seemed genuinely happy to see me out of the infirmary-well, everyone except Kael, whose usual scowl made it hard to tell.
That was just how his face was.
I also saw Termina and Julius.
Termina greeted me warmly, but Julius seemed downcast.
His loss to Nyssa had hit him hard, and the gloomy aura surrounding him was impossible to ignore.
Sander and Windy were there too, happily waving at me.
Somehow, we’d grown quite close in such a short time.
Soon, we all set out for Solara Palace, accompanied by Professors Lowen and Aldin.
When we arrived, the sight of Solara Palace left me speechless.
The pristine white walls, trimmed with shimmering gold, gleamed brilliantly under the sunlight.
Everything felt immaculately clean, and the abundance of magical devices gave the palace a distinctly modern feel.
I couldn’t help but stare in awe at the breathtaking beauty of the palace.
“Hey, Nao, you bumpkin!
Stop gawking like that and act properly!” Envi scolded me.
“Yeah, yeah,” I muttered, trying to compose myself.
Finally, we entered the throne room, where we were introduced to Salvador von Solara, the 10th Magic King.
He was a man in his sixties, with long white hair and a beard that reached his chest.
A monocle adorned one eye, and atop his head rested a magical crown.
Around him, five floating magical staves orbited like guardians of his throne.
We all knelt in reverence as he addressed us.
The Magic King praised our efforts in defending Solara Magic Academy.
He said that because of the sudden attack the government center here was in chaos, so I had to take care of it.
Then the magic commanders of The Magi were on a mission outside the city.
He apologized to us and to Professor Alden as the representative of Braveheart Knight Academy.
We were all polite and accepted it, we were also given some gifts and magic weapons.
Freya received a new flame-element sword, Lyra a water-element staff, Marius a shield imbued with earth magic, Luna a pair of light-element twin blades, and Kael an armor infused with fire magic.
Termina was given a lightning-element bow, while Julius reluctantly accepted a light-element longsword.
Though he initially declined, saying he was unworthy, the pressure of the moment forced him to accept it.
Then, it was my turn.
“Naoki von Blackmore, I find it difficult to decide what to offer you.
Equipment or weapons with dark-element attributes are exceedingly rare.
So, tell me, what is it you desire?” Salvador asked, his commanding voice tinged with curiosity.
“Well, Your Majesty,” I began respectfully, “I wish to request permission to keep the Unknown Grimoire: Grimoire of the Darkness.
I retrieved it during the battle against Norx.
Since grimoires are invaluable to the Grand Kingdom of Solara, I felt it necessary to seek your approval.” I summoned the Grimoire of the Darkness from my magic circle, presenting it before the Magic King.
His eyes widened in shock.
“That grimoire holds tremendous power.
It is not something that can be wielded by just anyone,” he said gravely.
Salvador declared that I was unworthy of possessing such an artifact.
But I stood my ground.
“I need its power to grow stronger-to protect those I care about,” I argued, my voice firm.
“You insolent noble!
How dare you defy my judgment!” Salvador roared, rising from his throne.
He unleashed advanced gravity magic, increasing the pressure around me tenfold.
The crushing force pinned me briefly, but I activated [Abyssal Wrath Mode], channeling the power of the Grimoire of the Darkness.
Its pages opened, glowing with dark energy, amplifying my magic exponentially.
Under its influence, I resisted the Magic King’s spell and stood upright, unyielding.
Gasps of astonishment echoed through the room.
My friends stared in disbelief, and the royal guards seemed visibly shaken.
Salvador, however, laughed heartily.
“So this is the strength that defeated Norx the Dreaming Void, the 5th Demon Warlord,” he mused, impressed.
I nodded.
“Yes, Your Majesty.
I can harness the grimoire’s power for good.
Please, entrust it to me,” I implored.
Suddenly, four individuals appeared from different directions, encircling me.
Their magical presence was overwhelming, yet I remained steadfast, refusing to retaliate.
“Enough!
Cease your actions, Magi of Solara!” Salvador commanded.
The four were revealed to be the Magi, the kingdom’s elite mages who served as the Magic King’s personal protectors and wartime generals.
“Tch, you’re lucky this time, kid,” said a red-haired man, his tone laced with irritation.
“Watch your manners in front of the Magic King!” snapped a white-haired woman, aiming her staff at me.
“Foolish noble,” muttered a tall, muscular bald man, glaring menacingly.
“Don’t mind me-I just went along with them, haha!” giggled a petite blonde girl.
“I said enough!” Salvador’s voice boomed, silencing them.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Magi reluctantly stepped back.
I deactivated the grimoire and exited [Abyssal Wrath Mode], returning to normal.
“Naoki von Blackmore, I admire your resolve,” Salvador said with a smile.
“Very well, the Grimoire of the Darkness is yours.
But on one condition-you must aid the kingdom in times of need.
Do you agree?” “I do, Your Majesty.
Thank you for this opportunity,” I said, bowing deeply.
“Is there anything else you desire?” he asked.
“There is, Your Majesty.
A girl named Nyssa, who was possessed by Norx… Her late father entrusted her to me.
I wish to take her to the Braveheart Kingdom.” “Hmm… I see.
Guards!
Bring her in!” Salvador ordered.
Nyssa entered the room, looking normal but carrying a somber expression.
Then Salvador dropped a bombshell.
“I’m afraid I cannot grant your request.
She will be executed here.” My heart sank at his words.
I had to save Nyssa!
