Liam and the others soon arrived at CGH. During their journey, everyone in the jet was quiet. None of them was willing to start a conversation with one another or even lift the heavy mood. Even though they had won, everything that took place still played on repeat in their feeble minds."Welcome, young heroes!" A beautiful female voice sounded as they all stepped into a beautiful white hall."You have all embarked on your first mission and succeeded in it. That is such a great feat. It shows that our young heroes will grow to be as formidable as the current hero generations," the voice continued.Liam looked around the room to find who was speaking, but there was no one in sight. However, he noticed the speaker on the wall to the right side of the room."You all don't have to be worried about your performance. Others of your level didn't survive their first mission, and they didn't even perform as well as you guys did, even on their fifth and tenth expenditures.""We don't want to tak
[Skill: Flame disk has been added to flame inheritance.][Skill: Blade Dance (Level 1) has been added to your inheritance.]The following message appeared in front of him after the congratulatory message from the system.Curious, he clicked on the (?) below the two windows.[Fire Disk: Conjures a twisting column of fire, versatile for defense or attack.][Blade Dance: Special sword routine practiced by ancient sword masters, can only be used with a sword or any other bladed weapon.NOTE: This is an upgradeable skill; it has a special level-up system.]After the last system message, a thin line appeared in the air linking the last system window to another smaller one that appeared beneath it.[Blade Dance, Level 1: 0/1000 SP[Skill points (SP) can be gained by slaying monsters, defeating foes, and mastering the skills.]"A martial arts skill that needs a weapon, great. Grim Blade asked if I could use a sword during the expenditure. I wish he could become my master and teach me the art
The next day quickly arrived for Liam. Throughout the night, he spent his time training his martial arts skills. He practiced the raining kicks and punches like a king until his hands and legs were too weak to carry on with the exercise.However, he did not stop training his body. He felt the need to do this at this moment because, why wouldn't he? Just yesterday, he witnessed death and saw many corpses of heroes stronger than him.If it weren't for the intervention of the 5-star hero, Pink Beauty, then he wouldn't be standing here right now.Dungeons are the major source of wealth, but they also come with attached dangers, and death is one of the major ones."My body feels stronger after the exercise last night. Also, my weak, thin, and unhealthy body is slowly disappearing the more I train," Liam observed his bare upper torso and muttered to himself.It is the early hours of the morning, 5 AM to be precise. He was getting ready for his early morning jog."I have made it a habit to a
On their way to the 3rd HQ, Liam became really curious as to why he would join the gang, especially one that has such heartless members who wouldn't spare his life."It wasn't any of my plans to join a gang. I was forced. The leader, Badmus, who calls himself the king, forced me to join because of my height. At first, I refused, but then he started making threats like taking my sister away and making life hell for me..." Eden explained as both of them sprinted."Is he so strong? Why didn't you fight for your freedom?""Fighting for my freedom is what led to all this. The stuff they said I stole actually belongs to me. The gang seized it and refused to give it back, so I took it myself and made up my mind to finally leave. However, they won't stop sending boys after me. Because of that, I had to stop visiting Anabella for over two weeks. I guess she might hate me for that, but I'll try my best to make up with her."Liam nodded his head. They soon reached the end of the street and found
Only awakened individuals can use magical powers. In fact, the type of strength that Liam has displayed is extraordinary. After all, he has such a small size, and naturally producing such power is almost impossible.Liam stared down at Badmus. "I think you understand the difference between both of us now."Badmus did not reply. Everyone in the room was looking at Liam with deep surprise as he walked towards Anabella to free her. He tore the robe with his bare hands as though it was just a thin sheet of paper.He removed the piece of cloth blocking her eye and mouth."Please don't hurt me... don't hurt me." Anabella had a scared expression as she yelled.She suspected that it was one of the gang members doing this to her and was scared."Liam?" It was easy to notice the difference; those guys had large body frames, while Liam had a thin one."What are you doing here, Liam? Don't tell me you are also part of this stupid gang," she questioned.Hearing the words "stupid gang" was a big sl
Liam and the others soon arrived at the station, which was a huge dome-shaped building with the main construction material being glass.Brandon led Liam into the station with a frown on his face.Capturing a hero is the hardest job for police because they have superpowers which can be activated at any time, and when activated, it can leave a devastating wound on the body of the officers.Brandon has been a police officer for over seven years now; his luck wasn't that good as he was added to the hero monitoring squad.He received his first scar on his first mission after trying to capture a hero that can expand herself and form any shape they wanted.He looked at Liam; to be honest, this kid was different from the heroes he has been monitoring for years now.Not once did he try to break out of the cuffs, and from the looks of it, he would most likely be freed soon because he did everything for positive reasons.Liam was locked up in a cell; this cell wasn't like any other cell, it was
Liam sat down inside the cell room. At this moment, he has zero hope of coming out today, but he is certain that in the next two days, he would be out of this place because of Grim Blade.He opened his system window and stared at his stats. There was an increase in his level progression.He clicked on Business God inheritance, and he was led to the special tab. He clicked on the ACTIVE TRADING tool and read the introduction before continuing.[This built-in system offers market signals, charts, and all elements of the contemporary economy. It's the fastest route to wealth, yet equally swift in leading to poverty. Remember, even if you're a business heir, the system won't be forgiving if you lose money. Proceed at your own risk.][PROCEED]Liam clicked proceed, immediately the window disappeared, and a new one with a lot of charts and other features appeared.He was about to click on the (+) button to add money when he suddenly heard the funny laughter from the weird dude in the other
The next day started on a normal note. Liam exercised and was out for his morning jog again, but this time, Eden decided to tag along.After finding out that Liam was a hero, he started pestering him to teach him those moves he used on those gangsters earlier.Of course, there was no way for Liam to pass those techniques down, thus he made an excuse that he was only able to display such formidable fighting prowess due to his consistent exercise.Eden agreed. He too began his own routine, exercising his body early in the morning before going to work. When he came back, after eating and relaxing, he exercised his body one more time before falling asleep.For Liam, his day was spent training with his martial arts skills and studying his business god special system.Yesterday, before he slept, the money in his ACTIVE TRADING account had risen to $77k. He decided to leave it for the next day and fortunately, it rose to $120k, which he quickly withdrew and invested another $20k.It was the b
