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
