Chapter 7
The monster pounced on Mave attempting to kill him this time around. Mave managed to veer to the side with all he could manage, rolling towards the side of the dead mobsters. 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.
And Jiren managed to toss him the bat.
*Skill unlocked: energy infusion.* {Allows energy to be channeled into weapons}
*Activating skills: Enhanced action + Enhanced strike + Energy infusion*
*Triple skill bonus: Advanced effect* {All skills used will become three times more effective.}
Just as the monster was about to tear Jung to pieces, Mave activated all his skills at once using the energy he had just absorbed and immediately he leapt up into the air avoiding the monster and then grabbing the bat Jiren tossed to him in the air. Whilst in the air, he channeled all the energy he had absorbed from the monsters into the bat, causing it glow red and quickly slammed the bat on the head of the monster dog.
The bat slammed against the monsters head with so much power and speed that it released a shockwave causing the head of the monster To burst, sending the monster colliding to the ground, breaking all its bone and creating a small crater on the ground and causing the ground to sink in.
The bat broke from the force of all the skills used on it.
Mave breathed heavily as he managed to stand watching the dead monster, that had all its bone broken and was now like a vegetable.
Mave struggled to remain standing because he was out of energy and had no strength in him, not to mention the fact that he was bleeding so much too.
““now absorb the energy before you pass out so you can heal yourself.”” The system instructed.
Mave did as he was told and absorbed all the energy from the monster, and it was a lot, compared to the rest.
*Level up: Jung Yoo, D class, level 1.*
• Skill unlocked: Healer* {Converts Energy to be able to heal wounds}
Mave smiled that he had finally won and and then he passed out.
Mave woke up in the hospital and he was just staring at the white ceiling of the hospital. He knew he was in the hospital, he could smell it and he could see it. 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 Action
Enhanced Strike
Energy absorption
Energy infusion
Healer
*Talent: (empty)

Mave stared at his stats and he was still very surprised because of what he was seeing.
‘How is this possible, before I was E class just like every regular human but now I am at D class after defeating that monster, how come?’
He asked himself.
‘in my past life, humans couldn’t increase their grades, only monsters could do that after devouring a lot of humans and gaining more energy and power. Humans could only increase their level after they gain experience from killing monsters, taking augmenting portions or wearing augmenting armaments, but all those are temporary. But I have done none of those, so how am I upgrading just like a monster.’
He kept looking at the stats window, hoping to discover something.
‘or have I awakened already? Humans only increase their grades after they awaken, so that they can be able to fight monsters.’
He asked himself, but then he looked at his status window again, specifically the part with his talents, and it was still blank.
‘No. I have not awakened, if I have I would have Received my talent. But I have not, meaning I have not awakened yet. So what’s happening then? System are you there? I need answers’
He beckoned on the system but there was no response from it. He just sighed more, Knowing that it was not helpful at the moment.
Mave remembered that he had been seriously wounded during the last fight and he touched himself, trying to find his wounds but he could not find any ,they had all healed and he knew it was the effect of the system and the new skill :Healer ,that he had acquired.
‘so what will I do now?’
‘last time I awakened, I awakened as a B class with fire and earth talent.’
He smiled, knowing just how that talent had saved his life a lot, and also made him a big shot in the society.
‘if I play my cards right, I might just become more famous than I have been before.’ He smiled more, since people who awakened with B class and above were few and were very valuable to the country, because they had the power to defeat monsters that appeared in each nation.
A class was even fewer and S ranks were very very rare. He could only remember three S rank in the entire country. And they hardly made appearances. He didn’t even meet any one of them.
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
Chapter 9 Jiren and the rest of the Crew were already inside the portal for a while now. “For a low B class portal, this portal looks easy.” Jiren said, withdrawing his lance from the skull of a huge spider like monster on the ground, causing the black blood from it to splatter on the ground. 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,

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.
Chapter 12Mave sprinted out of the way, where he was formerly standing, away from the pincers of the large centipede monster that attempted to ram into him.Mave had been attacked the moment he had entered the light. When he followed the light he entered the very bottom of what looked looked like a mountain. When he looked up he saw that there was an entrance above and it was where the light was coming from, but it was too high up. He looked around and so that the place was wide, having nothing but rocks and boulders on the ground. The centipedes immediately borrowed out of the ground and attacked him.He looked at the centipede and smacked his lips since he did not have time to fight, because he had to find his friends and make sure that they were okay. The centipede was over 10metres tall and a meter wide, with little black eyes but two a giant mandible that almost looked like pincers. Judging from how big and sharp it looked and how it could use it burrow into the ground with
Chapter 13 The portal regulation Team leader stood watching the portal with keen interest. His face held a worrisome expression on his face, unable to find answers to his questions. ‘Why in the world is this portal not closing and what is happening?’ he asked himself as he stared at it. At this point there were no more spiders coming out but everyone was still weary of it. The sounds of sirens broke his train of thoughts as he looked back to see what was happening. Five black jeeps rushed to the scene and just from the looks, he could tell they were all government vehicles with government officials, but the question now was which officials. He frowned just as he saw them pulling over on the scene, parking in different points in a pattern that will prevent another from coming in. The portal regulation Team leader was also relieved that someone else, possibly help had come, since it had been some minutes since he had requested help.. “must be the bureau” he said and he went towar
Chapter 14 “Everyone hold on” Sky said as she used her navigation talent trying to map out the place again to lead properly. Her words caused everyone to stop running and look at her whilst using the opportunity to catch their breaths. “What's wrong Sky?” Theon asked with interest as the leader of the team, knowing that it might be important. Everyone else looked at her as well, waiting for an answer. Her chest was heaving as she steadied her breath before she began talking. “that lower part of this portal that I could not access before, is now accessible.”“what? Explain better” Jiren said impatiently. “I mean that, there’s a whole new place underneath this place, it’s connected somehow and the entrance is at that place where we destroyed the energy core.” She explained. “Is that so?. Can you tell what is inside this new place from here?” Theon asked her. She shook her head. “Sadly I can’t. I’d have to get closer or possibly inside to be able to tell what’s inside the place cl
Chapter 15 Maverick coughed out blood gasping for air as he held his stomach with one hand and tried to stand with the other hand. He had suffered another devastating attack from the three massive centipede monsters that had assaulted him while he was climbing. The attack had sent him right back to the bottom again. He struggled to one his eyes, but his left eye was already so bruised up and battered that it could not open. Several of his Bones had been broken and it was a miracle he was still alive. He looked at his stats and he saw how bad he was *Health: 09/100**Energy: 05/100*His health was so low because of the level of heavy attacks he had been receiving from the centipedes and his energy low because he had been using it consistently to heal himself and using his skills.He frowned as he watched the centipedes tower over him watching him intently trying to see if he was dead or not. They could see his life force so they knew he was not yet dead, and was ready to finish the
Chapter 135Supremus pointed his metallic finger of his left arm at Maverick and immediately beam of energy shot out of it and was aimed at Maverick. 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 had also shielded them from the beam and explosion. He extended his energy towards th
Chapter 134"Ahhhhhh, it hurts. Maverick help" Alyssa yelled as the pain became unbearable for her and the others. They are still being held to the ground and pushed down by the force of great magnitude, created by Supremus.Supremus was just silent, having a satisfied look on his face as he watched the kids lay helplessly in pain. 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. "Maverick, help" Alyssa struggled to cry out finally, as her eyes began Rolling into the back of her head, bones creaking and blood rolling out of her nose and ears. Maverick was still so consumed by anger from the black energy coursing through his body that he didn't think of anything else but to destroy the robot. But still, he heard her faintly and his att
Chapter 133."So it was you all along, lying to me?" Maverick said as he looked at Adrian with a frown on his face. "Yes, it was me. You were very gullible back then, I must admit." 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. He's prepped and we can begin the procedure at any ti
Chapter 132."Wake up, Wake up" the children who had returned from trying to find a way out of the place began shaking the three that had been knocked out by the robot, trying to make them wake up. "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. "Then we have no choice but to still go up. Let's go"****The
chapter 131Maverick was being watched from one of the security cameras in the facility. The man who conversed with the system earlier was watching and he was perplexed and awed."Such potent light energy, I must have it." he exclaimed as he licked his lips."Now I see why this Maverick boy is very important. 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. You can do away with the other blessed ones but we must have Maverick"He turned off the communication device and laughed. "It's been decades since m
Chapter 130.Even in the light that have momentarily enveloped the area and blinded the place, Maverick kept moving. He leapt to the roof and ran on it to get to the armed men. 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
Chapter 129."No no no, not again. It's happening again."Maverick exclaimed in horror as he held his head and shook it, trying to wake up from the dream if it was a dream. 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
Chapter 128. "When the time comes, hit him with everything you have. Do not miss." director Maxwell said to maverick. 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
Chapter 127"Just die Maverick" Jiren yelled as he punched Maverick on the cheek and the impact blasted Maverick away like a rocket.Jiren opened his mouth as wide as he could like he was about to roar, the moment he did so, he channelled all the energy in his body into his mouth and he screamed abruptly.By this time, Maverick was trying to get back his balance, the force of the punch he had received had damaged his jaw and caused him to start bleeding but he did not relent and was still willing to get back into the fight.Maverick's senses picked up large amounts of energy accumulating and when he looked at Jiren as he was being thrown back, he saw Jiren opening his mouth and the moment he did he saw him scream.The scream was followed by an emission of destructive black energy that ransacked th4 environment aimed straight at maverick. 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
