Chapter 3

““You can call me System. And you will soon get to understand that I am here to help you, you just have to trust me.”” The system as it had identified itself said to Mave again. 

‘hmm. Anything I should know for now?.  I have a lot of questions to ask you.’

“”Do not worry Hero Maverick , in time  All your questions will be answered but for now, do not take off that ring on your finger for any reason. We do not have time for now, the world merge will be beginning soon, and you need to be ready.”” The system said, and immediately Maverick looked at his finger and the ring on the finger as he got the instruction. But it seems that with each word the system said, he was left with more questions to ask..

‘what do you mean by World merge?’ Mave asked the system, it was the first time he was hearing of it and he was interested to know what it meant. 

“”it is the union of your world and that of the monsters,  it starts today with the appearance of the red fog as you already know. So now I want you to prepare yourself, go to the Top of the highest building you can find and wait there,  the fog will be coming soon””

‘huh, then I need to find Talia and Jiren immediately’ Maverick said. 

“”No, there’s no time. We will find them after everything.”” 

‘but they are my friends and my girlfriend is cheating on my with my best friend, you expect me to just let it be…?’

“”Think Mave, she was your girl friend ten years from now in your past life,  not now. What ever happened between you all will not happen now.  As far as we all know, you have not started dating yet””

Mave thought of what the system had said and it had some truth, whatever had happened in his part life had not happened year, it was still ten years too early. He should focus on the present for now that what is yet to come.

‘so what do I do now?’ he asked. 

“”find the highest building and wait at the top””

‘Highest building, got it’s Mave left where he was and looked around for the highest building he could find.  The highest was a company building next to their school and he immediately dashed towards it. Knowing he’d never be allowed outside the school premises before it was closing time. He went through the back,  where there was a hidden entrance that led outside.

Maverick managed to get outside the school and as well to the top of the highest building within the vicinity and he did so he just wondered why he had to trust a voice in his head rather than do things by himself like he formerly did. 

‘I’ll just have to trust it for now, learn what it is and decide if it here to help me or not. I want things to go differently than they did last time.’

‘I’m here so what do I do now?’ he said to the system..

“”we wait”” the system replied and Maverick nodded and then looked around. 

He knew that last time the red fog had appeared today, but he wasn’t certain anymore of the time that it happened,  but somehow it seemed like this system was aware of the time it will take place, so he listened to it and waited patiently.

Mave waited for a few minutes and nothing happened, he then sat down and decided to rest for a bit. A few more minutes later then the system spoke to him again

“” The world merge will begin in 10, 9,8…””

Maverick jumped on his feet and prepared himself as the system gave the count down. He did not exactly know what he was supposed to do, but he just prepared himself and hoped things turned out better than before.

Immediately the count down got to zero, the sky roared as lightning struck heavily which almost made Mave tremble in fear, since it looked like he was just so close to the lightning.

When he looked up at the sky, he saw clouds of the red fog beginning to form. 

This may be his second time witnessing it but it was still so terrifying as it was the first time he saw it.  The earth turned red, since the red fog literally blocked the sun.

People began coming out of their houses, cars and where ever they were so that they could observe the strange phenomenon that is going on.

“”Mave, now raise your hand bearing the the sky”” the system instructed and Mave obeyed, he lifted up his right hand to the sky and immediately the ring began to glow a bright red. As it glowed Mave witnessed that the red fog around the vicinity gathered around the ring and the ring began absorbing the red fog .

Maverick was surprised as to what was happening, as the ring continued to absorb the red fog, Mave’s hand began feeling heavy, like the ring was now getting too heavy to carry. 

‘umm, system what is happening?’’ Mave asked.

“”Don’t worry,  I’ll explain later. Focus on holding your hand up and letting the ring absorb as much of the red fog as possible before it dissipates. Mave just nodded and continued to hold his hand up, for the ring to absorb the red fog. 

Several minutes later and the red fog dissipated, disappearing from the skies and the atmosphere returned to normal again. Mave fell down and panted trying to catch his breath again, the ring had returned back to normal, becoming as light as it formerly was. 

Everyone on the street was now going back to what they were doing prior, still wondering what just had just happened.

    Chapter 4“System explain” Mave said rather than thought as he asked the system about what had just transpired. “”The red fog as you call it is actually energy from the monster world that managed to leak through as the world merge occurred. The energy is a prerequisite for the activation of what you humans call ‘talent’ and this energy drives the monsters like a power source.”” The system explained..‘so how does that have to do with you or the ring?’ he asked curiously“”The only thing I can tell you for now is that, the ring just absorbed the energy around the vicinity before it dispersed. You should prepare yourself now, the energy that dispersed will be absorbed by low level monsters and they will soon awaken””“hmm” Mave sighed as he rested, understanding just some of what the system had told him.He recalled that last time the red fog occurred and dispersed, hours later and their was reports of outbreaks of strange creatures appearing all over the world and afterwards there wa

He gritted his teeth in annoyance, for he felt that he shouldn’t have fallen asleep but should have been awake doing better things. He heard screams and people crying and riotous commotion and he knew immediately that it had begun. The first wave of the awakening, when low level monsters appeared out of nowhere and began mauling people down.He stood up and looked down from the ledge of the rooftop he was on and saw people being chased by grotesque looking creatures that looked like animals, some four legged and some two legged, others crawled like snakes and millipedes on the ground. He also so a few dead bodies sprawled on the ground. Some missing limbs and appendages and he sighed, knowing that it was from this point the world needed the awakened heroes at first, but none had awaken

He stopped at the door of the cafeteria and he could hear some noises and could immediately tell that there were some monsters inside. ‘I can’t go in unarmed’ he thought and began looking around for a weapon or anything he could arm himself with. He could not find anything but some stones on the ground, he gritted his teeth in annoyance knowing it was hopeless. But then he remembered how effective his skill was against the previous monster and then he picked up the stones as he thought of something.Mave slammed the door open with his boots and the door opened widely immediately and as it did, Mave found four monsters already inside eating a corpse of one of the staffs. The dog like monsters looked at him and stopped eating, since they had found a new food They were just like the monster he had killed before,

Fortunately, he escaped but unfortunately the monster nicked him on the side of his stomach wounding him.Mave rolled to the ground and then mentally activated his skill “Energy absorption” and began absorbing the energy that was present on the dead bodies and at the same time, he yelled to Jiren.“Toss me the bat now!” Mave knew he had two act fast because the monster was coming again. The monster pounced on him again as he laid on the ground, this time very sure that it will finish the job.

    Chapter 8There was a knock on the door, which drew him out of his thoughts and he looked to see who it was. The door opened and Jiren walked in. The moment Mave saw him, he remembered just how he died the last time and he inwardly became angry, because Jiren betrayed him. But he didn’t reveal it visibly. Jiren was wearing a different attire and was looking much different compared to how weak he looked when the monster dog was attacking him. He looked strong, with an air of confidence around him. He was wearing polished battle armour and Mave could only suspect one thing, he had awakened.And to confirm it, Mave focused his gaze on him and immediately Jiren’s stats appeared.*Jiren Yosuka, B class, level 5.*‘B rank just like before, meaning his talent will still be the same…’ Mave thought.“ Mave, finally you’re awake. It’s been three weeks now since you went unconscious. I got so worried.” Jiren said as he sat down beside Mave.“two what?” immediately, Mave forgot about his ange

The focused ahead, wanting to go in further without fear. “Don’t get too confident now, this is a strange place, anything can happen. I’m sure you’re aware of that.” Theon the leader of the group of five that had entered the portal said to him. Theon as well was cleaning his sword from the black blood of the spider like monster. Theon was a man in his early 30’s and having a nicely shaved beards. There were spider monster corpses all over the ground, the ones that the team had dispatched as they proceeded further inside. The portal they had entered led to a cave like terrain, with several stalactites and stalagmites structures made of the same rock as the cave. The cave looked very large,

Everything was still like a dream to him and he tried to recall it all.He remembered the fight with the monster dog and then he frowned. ‘it wasn’t supposed to be like that, the monsters were not supposed to be that strong and this much people were not supposed to die, just what is happening.’He thought and then placed his hands on his head and sighed. He had expected everything to be easier this time around, but it was beginning to get so different and difficult. ‘I need answers, that’s for sure. But the system is not so cooperative when it comes to that aspect. That reminds me, there was a level up prompt, just before I blacked out.’Mave focused on his stats again, so he can see everything very well.*Maverick , D class, level 1**Skills: Enhanced ActionEnhanced Strike Energy absorptionEnergy infusionH

    Chapter 11Mave ran through the woods like his life depended on it, without even allowing himself to catch his breath. The route led him to a park that branched off from the woods. He finally came to a stop at a park, the Ava district park.““The portal should be somewhere here”” He heard the voice of the system in his head and he looked around frantically, hoping to find it just as the system had said. He was breathing heavily and was sweating, beads of sweat were dropping from his face, chest and back. It was very noticeable because he was Shirtless and wearing just a joggers, no footwear even.“Found it” he said, as his eyes settled on a shimmering slit like white light. It was about 10ft high and as wide as a door entrance. It was shimmering almost like a mirage, the more he looked at it reflecting the rays of the sun.Mave hesitated as a thought came across his mind as he looked around the place. ‘this should be the portal Jiren and his team had entered, but something is wrong.

The beam of energy was so strong and intense that it left a trail of destruction as it was heading for Maverick.Maverick remained calm, standing and watching with no visible expression on his face. He wasn't even bothered that the energy beam was heading straight for him. But just about half a metre to his position, the beam collided with an invisible force that shielded Maverick from the beam. The collision of the beam with the force resulted in an explosion that enveloped the entire place, owing to its destructive nature.Seconds later and the explosion cleared and Maverick will be seen unscathed. Not just himself now, but the other children that were on the ground.Maverick looked away from Supremus and then at the children who were besides him.

He saw that they would pass out soon enough and be crushed to squat in no time.Adrian was also surprised at the technological advancement of supremus, seeing how he had been able to harness and use the pure energy with his technology, even without being able to naturally use talents like the others.

Adrian said with a soft smile.Maverick gritted his teeth in anger and then tried to break free of his restraints, but he was still so weak."You made me kill innocent people" Maverick verbally confronted him, still angry with the incident in the old world where he was compelled to slaughter the innocent villagers for telling him the truth. "I had no choice, you were poking around so much, so I did what I had to do." Adrian answered whilst continuing with what he was doing on the computer. Maverick gritted his teeth seeing no hint of remorse in both men. At this point, he was certain that they no longer had any bit of humanity left in them."I promise you, I'll get you for this and I'll kill you." Maverick swore. "I doubt that. Supremus, I'm ready.

"We have to move before the robot or any other comes back to finish the job." the other said, helping one of them up.Alyssa groaned, feeling very exhausted because every bit of energy in her body had been drained. The other boy helped her up and then they reminisced on what happened. "They took Maverick" one of them said. "We have to go after them and save him." Alyssa added, struggling to get back up on her own as she was slowly recovering strength."I don't think we can take that robot on our own." one of the returnees lamented. "Were you able to find a way out?" Alyssa asked. "Yes, we overheard one of the armed men saying there's a shuttle on the roof. That will be our best method of escape at this point." he replied.

His energy will help us by leaps and bounds. I must have it. "He stood up from the chair he was sitting on and watched the holographic screen in front of him with so much interest. With a push of a button in his wristwatch he contacted the man behind the system persona."Adrian, throw in everything we have. Send in the recent models of the hunters. "he instructed. When Adrian, the man with the system persona heard it he objected at first. "Sir but…"But the man interrupted brashly. "Adrian, I am the boss here and do what I say.

He could not see, but he could sense just very fine.The armed men kept shooting since there was nothing else they could do, they couldn't see and they couldn't just wait until they were able to see again.The lasers they were firing off was so powerful that it was able to easily penetrate through the metals on the ground and floor and doing significant damage.Maverick dropped in thier midst and punched the two behind the lead armed man, very hard. The punch sent them flying backwards since maverick used a lot of power for it. The third man realizing what was happening immediately aimed his gun at maverick and was about shooting him down but immediately the man was kicked in his face by the girl that had met Maverick before. The light receded and everyone could see again. The lead armed man saw that none of

But after several attempts with no successful result, he just gave up and sat on the ground, distraught. His exclamation and behaviour surprised everyone else in the room, since they were somehow confused as to what was happening."What's happening?" one of them finally asked, looking at everyone and at Maverick so that he could find an answer. There were several mumbles but at the end there was no response, obviously because none of them knew what was happening. Then all eyes turned to Maverick who was folded like a ball on the ground, lamenting. "um hello? Sir?" a feminine voice spoke, talking Maverick.Maverick looked up and saw a girl looking at him, she was really among the group. She had blonde hair and was cute."Please do you know what is happening?" she asked him.Maverick remained silent as he looked a

Them of them looked at each other and then nodded before they looked at Jiren who was already approaching them.Jiren was coming closer and then could sense the build up of energy from him again. Jiren's hands were getting cold as he prepared to use the same technique he used before, this time much stronger than he used before so that he would be able to kill them both. The monsters from his chest were already getting antsy and ready to devour more things, moving around Jiren in readiness. "Listen Maverick, he's most vulnerable when he does this technique, make sure you don't miss. I have seen what will happen should you fail, the world will be destroyed, do not fail."Maxwell said again.Maverick nodded after the director finished speaking. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, but he knows that whatever happens he must do something to kill Jiren.At the pr

The energy cleared the already barren desert and blasted Maverick back into the city. Maverick felt his entire body burning as he was blasted by the
