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
A large number of these venomweavers emerged out of the various rooms and stared down at the humans in their midst with the urge to kill and eat.The sound of each other grinding their sharp fangs could be heard; it created a rhythmic sound as almost all of them performed it at the same time."Everyone, ready yourselves to engage soon; we can do this," Liam yelled those words to his team.Each of them nodded in agreement.As though his words were a command, all the venomweavers immediately launched their webs at them almost at the same time, marking the beginning of the battle.Liam quickly evaded the large numbers of webs shot towards him and sprinted towards one of the venomweavers with no hint of fear perceived in his steps.He chanted the spell for fireballs and sent them flying towards the closest one.He also cast several fire disk spells and attacked the venomweavers with them.'My mana consumption has decreased; now I can use several fireballs without worrying about my mana. F
Liam studied the venomweavers while planning an attack in his mind, they appeared really strong as they gazed down at them.Liam began chanting his fire disk spell; his mouth moved as he chanted, and soon he was done chanting. A magic circle appeared on his hands and quickly dispersed, transforming into strong spiraling flames that shot towards the venomweavers.However, to his shock, the flames dissipated after reaching their targets. The venomweavers seemed unfazed, mocking his efforts. One of them unleashed a venomous web covered in flames from its mouth, a deadly combination of toxins and fire.Liam swiftly dodged the attack, narrowly avoiding the lethal combination. He realized that their usual tactics wouldn't work against these formidable foes. They needed a new strategy, a way to counter the speed and ferocity of the venomweavers.The others were still on the ground, tired out from the attacks just now. Only Crowbro seemed to be struggling to stand up from the ground; the effe
In the dimly lit chamber, a colossal creature stood before them, a nightmarish amalgamation of metal and organic matter. Its body, once belonging to a venomweaver, was now encased in gleaming metallic plates, enhancing its menacing presence.The creature's limbs were elongated and tipped with razor-sharp claws, capable of tearing through steel with ease. Its eyes glowed with an eerie, malevolent light, revealing an unsettling intelligence behind the ferocious facade.It let out a scary screeching sound as it glared at Liam and his teammates on the ground, struggling to lift their wounded bodies.They all struggled to lift their bodies, even though they felt the pain from the push hitting on their nerves from within.'I knew that the boss room wouldn't be that easy... that egg, it was actually a trap just as I thought,' Liam said to himself inwardly as he stared at the venomweaver. It was larger than all the venomweavers they had fought, and this one even had metallic features which ma
At a certain point in one's life, there is always a need for a particular bridge. Crossing this bridge signifies success, but if one fails, death awaits.With little time left, Liam decided to take charge and fight the boss himself since the others were badly injured. One had fainted, and most wouldn't even be able to heal quickly, even with healing potions."I can do this... for Bella, for myself, I must do this," he thought.[Your confidence has pleased the martial arts king. You will receive a temporary strength and ability boost that lasts for two hours.]He read what was shown in the window, and immediately afterward, he felt newfound strength coursing through his veins. His body felt as light as a bird's. The pain he was feeling was numbed by the newfound strength. Liam looked at his hands, feeling the power surging through him, and then he smirked.His feet propelled him from his position, closing the distance with the venomweaver. He threw his fist at its metallic body without
It was a place of pitch darkness like a void with no trace of light, endless and sprawling over a long distance without stopping.In this void, someone floated subconsciously; it was none other than Liam.His eyes soon opened to the darkness in front of him.'Where am I?' he asked no one in particular.The last thing he recalled was using all his strength to take down the boss of the dungeon, and then the system told him he had failed the quest. The last thing he felt was pain that would make someone choose to die just to end it.[You will arrive in the Penalty Zone soon...]The system's voice sounded in his head.'The penalty zone, what is that?'Nevertheless, at that moment, he felt a strange force pushing him down the void.He tried to yell for help, but his mouth refused to open.His vision blackened, but after a few seconds, his eyes opened once again, and he found himself in a strange land.[Penalty][Survive for the next 3 hours][Note: Dying here means dying in the real world,
