Chapter 71
CheatsIn a palace with clouds as it's flooring and golden pillars, five beings sat on golden thrones looking at a giant screen."You all are cheating. Zeus, I never thought you'd actually have a secret candidate!" Arkeus, Ren's Celestial god said in anger at Zeus."You think mine is bad? Just look at Orion!" Zeus retorted."Tsk! You're just sore that the only ability you gave to your candidate is a useless photographic memory. No system nor superpower. Are you so tightfisted?" Hades said."Well, since everyone is showing their cards. I still have one more candidate I hid. Hehehehe, this one will make you all shit in your pants." Hades continued*No matter if you are a pessimist or an an optimist, Derek Esposito's life wasn't a good one nor a bad one. It was just a mediocre insignificant existence.His father was a bipolar abusive man, capable of disappearing in his bedroom for days during the depressive phase. He would wake up only to eat, use the bathroom and the occasional "Let's

The end is nighThe bullying ended, but his social life never stopped being miserable. How could he possibly make any friend with such a shameful private life?He had to constantly hide the bruises with long sleeves and had run out of plausible excuses for his streak of black eyes months before. His classmates and professors simply pretended to believe being that good of a liar. It was painful, but manageable. He still had his little brother to share that pain with. Carl was all he had, his family, friend and confidant. He was Derek's whole world.But when that age came, he started having crushes towards girls in his school, and those feelings weren't easily suppressed. Once again, he felt utterly helpless.He could not tell anyone about his problems, could not allow people to get close to him, otherwise he would have to think of an explanation for not being allowed to bring any friend home. Let alone a girl he liked.Derek was tormented by cruel thoughts, often demanding the heavens w

The End“A car accident!?” Derek yelled while rushing out of the door and looking for a cab.“We don't have any fucken car! What the hell happened!?” Derek yelled at the nurse.“I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to say. The doctors will explain it..” Derek hung up on her. He had no time for useless babbling, only for a goddamn cab. Every second in the traffic was torture, and when he finally arrived, it was too late.The surgeon and a police officer explained to him that Carl had been run over by a drunk driver. The culprit had run off and the police was still looking for him.A bystander had immediately called 911, but because of the traffic jam caused by the accident, it took hours for the ambulance to arrive. So when Carl arrived at the hospital he was already in critical conditions. He had multiple fractures, ruptured spleen and internal bleeding, requiring immediately surgery. Derek had been called to while Carl was just entering the OR.They had done their best to save him, but Carl

A new beginningIn the void of nothingness, where the flow of time itself didn't exist and not even a ray of light could be seen. This place was neither Heaven nor Hell. It was just an infinite space filled with absolute nothing as if the concept of life and death did not exist here.Suddenly, a crack in space appeared out of nowhere, it kept elongating at an extremely fast speed and in an instant, it stretched around ten kilometers and a gigantic figure sitting on a black stone throne which was no less than a size of a mountain itself emerged from the other side of the void.This figure was akin to the height of a couple of mountains, completely clad in majestic black clothes and had a hood on the head almost resembling the Grim Reaper itself. Its face could not be seen as if it didn't exist. It looked around for a moment and waved its right hand and created a space of its own, widening for a dozen kilometers and stabilizing itself like forming a gigantic barrier.An ancient voice, s

First BattleDerek's new body.. now Kahn.. was something he always dreamt of and wanted to have in his ideal standards of a physical body. He was six-feet and three-inches tall, normal white skin tone same as his previous life. He had an angled but somewhat wider jaw. His face was well proportioned and very handsome. He had bulging muscles and six pack abs. Unlike his previous life, this time his hair color was completely black and not brown. They were smooth, soft, and wavy. His hair was done from the right side from his perspective. They were long but not till his shoulder length long either. His eyes were black, unlike his former life where they were blue. It was not to stand out or being assumed as someone from a particular region because blue eyes were always most noticeable part of particular countries or regions. Black hair and eye color was very universal on the other hand.His built was very balanced. His upper body had wider shoulders and big arms, his chest was big enough t

First Subordinate.Kahn heard all the notifications inside his head. He already expected something like this to happen when he killed the red wolf and heard the Ding sound in his head.To his surprise, he not only learned how to activate War Dominance but he also broke through the current threshold of his capacity and already went past his limits to meet the conditions to unlock his War Deity Body. This means he will be twice stronger when he recovered his strength again.The first encounter Kahn had in Vantrea as soon as he entered was a life or death battle and he barely managed to survive. Who knew if eh we ended up dying here, would anyone ever know or care? He would die just a nameless death.. AGAIN.Kahn tried to focus his mind again on the notifications in his mind. There was no system panel or screen board for him to check these notifications in a list or scroll through them one by one. It was as if this system was part of his consciousness itself and somehow acted like his mi

ConnectionOmega sat down in front of Kahn and bowed his head without looking Kahn in the eyes. It felt as if Omega was submitting himself and acknowledging Kahn as it's master. The next moment, Kahn felt a connection towards Omega as of the wolf was an extension of his own body and consciousness.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” Kahn asked Omega to check whether his guess was right.Omega nodded in response and stood back up.“Good. Now go and hunt something I could eat. Not too big and meat shouldn't be too hard to chew.” Kahn commanded Omega. Since je was under the weakened state, he barely had strength to walk and could not go to find something to eat.He thought about having something to eat first because he had no energy left in him and meat was the best source to regain strength.After Omega ran off towards the bushes and completely disappeared out of his sight, Kahn called to the system again.“System, can you help me create fire?” Kahn asked curiously.«What am I, your m

Rewind."What!? You gave him triple abilities!? Plus a system!?" Zeus almost broke his thunderbolt due to anger which was visible on his face as he glared at Hades."It seems I am truly the most pitiful one. I only gave Ren a non physical ability as I thought this was a fair contest." Arkeus lamented."Hah! Sucks to be you." Orion said. Then he looked at the screen and shocked expression materialized on his face. He felt like he's seen a ghost."Hades! Isn't Vantrea part of Elisium where I sent my candidate? And you even authorized your candidate to kill other 'heroes'!?" Now it was Orion's turn to blow his top."Let's rewind a bit, shall we rewind a bit?"*“Ghost, can you hear me?”Michaelis heard the voice of a teenage girl through his earpiece.“Loud and clear, pink.” Michaelis said while adjusting the tie looking at the mirror. A handsome young man of late twenties stared back at him.“I do look good.” Michaelis grinned at his reflection.“What was that, Ghost?”“Nothing. Has the

Confused“What the hell!?”Michaelis was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box. “What's happening?” He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain. “Huh?”He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him. “It can't be, just relax.”Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again. But even then, nothing was changed.“Am I dead? What was that voice I heard earlier?” he was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and simply make sense out of this situation, he simply couldn't.“Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substance in my blood.” As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he was naked.“Thi

OP skillsAfter crawling away from the river, Michaelis found a big tree and sat under it to familiarize himself with the system.“Hey system, come up.” he ordered in his mind as the interface popped up before him. He could see the tabs such as Host, shop, storage, subordinates, and upgrades.Michaelis looked left and right to see if anyone or anything was coming but weirdly everything seemed paused.«While you access the system, the time will be momentarily slowed down until the host quit the system.»“Wow, cool!” his brows raised in surprise hearing the robotic voice.“Open host.”The system opened the host tab and like in roleplaying games, his naked body appeared before him along with his stats.«Host: MichaelisRace: HumanRank: Foundation stage, level 1Experience points: 4,000/20,000Reaper points: 0Current skills: NoneOccupation: NoneStatus: HealthyGoals: NoneNotable skills: Above average in marksmanship, proficient in close combat.»“Proficient huh?”Ramiel's skills merg
