2024-08-01 05:47:49Words of the chief awakened adventurer having a new born after so many years spread out like wild fire.
The news about the child born on the day of a sudden eclipse, spread all through the brightvale clan, making people wonder if the child is related to the strange phenomenon or if he was just fortunate or unfortunate to be born on that same day. When the news got to Mark who was about to receive a new mission to aid his family, he immediately quit the mission and rushed back to the village located at the outskirt of brightvale clan. Mark was happy to see his wife safe and healthy, he made sure that she was okay before proceeding to check on his child who was fast asleep. The young man in the flesh of a newborn stirred in his sleep before opening his blue eyes to stare at the man who was caressing his hair. ' why can't you just let me sleep ugh' he thought as he stared the man down with murder in his eyes. Mark flinched and unconsciously took two steps back, unknowingly to him, a bid of sweat rolled down the side of his head, forming a straight line. Being an awakened and a skilled one at that, he immediately composed himself and walked calmly back to the small crib the child was placed in. He then bent slightly to lift the newborn who continuously stared at him with murderous gaze. His gaze meeting the murderous gaze with expert calmness. He then walked over to Zipporah and sat close to her without averting his gaze from the kid. Noticing the oddity and wondering why both father and son continued staring at each other with none trying to avert their gaze. "Hmm, Mark, is everything okay??" She asked her husband. The man lingered for a second, without averting his gaze, he answered. "I think this kid is challenging my authority." " Hmm, how is that possible, he is just a child" Zipporah said. "Can't you see...he is refusing to give up the stare, as if challenging me into a competition." Mark replied Sensing the pressure in the room becoming slightly intense, Zipporah immediately stood up and took the child away from her husband, ending the silent staring competition between the duo. She then turned to scold her husband "Don't be such a bully, how can you exert pressure on a little and frail kid." Mark blinked innocently, wondering when he had bullied the little boy. The couple played and joked after Zipporah ended the staring competition. Mark decided to stay back with his wife for sometime, thereby ignoring the summons from the guild association. .... As time goes on, they discovered strange things about the boy who was named Vondrel. The child vondrel started walking seventh month after his birth, he started running around before his first birthday celebration. When he became two years of age, he was already talking maturely and fluently. He shows interest in everything he sees, trying to acquire knowledge of things beyond a toddlers capacity, though he is a young man in a toddlers body. His words were like words of an adult in a toddlers body, he easily understood the strange language that was entirely different from the language of his previous world, even though he very well knows that he came from a different world, but ever since he was born into the new world, he had forgotten everything about his past life and even his conversation with the unknown. The young man grew to know that he possessed a special trait of knowing and assimilating things with a single glance His interest for acquisition of knowledge caught the attention of his father and few kinsmen, which all helped and dedicated the little they have to help the upcoming talent of their settlement. He practiced swordsmanship with his father from age two, showing a visible talent for weapons and essence of combat. His mind tries to remember everything he knew about weapons and how to use them flawlessly but the more he tried to remember the harder it becomes, the memories seems to be within his mind but out of reach. He could only make do with the little his body tries so hard to showcase, with the help of his father and the other awakened adventurers in the village, he was able to learn and get accustomed with the fighting styles of the new world. After his third year, his mother gave birth to another boy, which grew up to be a talent, possessing an unusual ability, when used , a red aura seeps out of his body and do his bidding, it can practically do anything and is only limited by his own rank, Vondrel on the other hand didn't show any signs of possesing a special ability. On his fourth year, Vondrel was seen engrossed in different books mostly about the world he presently is, historical books, books about politics, battle styles and so on. His parents decide to give him everything they have that could help him grow. Even though he doesn't have any ability like his brother, he still possess traits and uniqueness not seen in other kids. "Father, can you tell me about this world and how things works" vondrel questioned his father "Sigh.... this world is too big for me to tell you everything about it, but i'll tell you the little I know, you'll get to know more as you grow " his father replied. His father went in and told him about the nature of the world, told him about the countries in the world and big clans out there. Vondrel tried knowing about the past where the battle between Arkansas and Asmodeus, reason why they fought but he couldn't find answers due to his father's limited knowledge. At the age of six, vondrel already knows more but not enough about the world and the ranks and power levels in the world. He's bright and intelligent, but he wasn't among the lucky kids who awakened their ability at an early stage . At this age his mother gave birth to a girl which was also a genius, possessing a monochrome ability. The ability to make things colourless and drain life essence out of living things and can also give life to living things. Once she activates her power, she stands unbeatable to those at her level. Vondrel on the other hand was a genius in academics and other things, helps solve complicated matters even in the settlement, he was bright, skilled and intelligent, but he wasn't among the lucky kids who awakened their ability at an early stage . They attend a small academy that was outside the settlement but within brightvale clan, the academy comprises of kids which awakened at an early age, those who are showing signs of awakening, those who are awaiting the normal age meant to awakened and those who aren't showing anything. The more he grew up, he gets to witness what bully means. When a rare gen(kids who awakened their ability early) beats up other kids for reasons unnecessary, or when kids he couldn't handle, beats him just because he is more handsome than most of them in the clan. He became a scape goat and a punching bag for the direct descendants in the academy, because he knows not to mess with them, his parents couldn't do anything about it, his mother could only care and treat his injuries most of the times, he gets beating up mostly at school due to girls attention. Vondrel found out strange things about himself, like the urge to finish up and take the life of those who pick on him. Or the urge to actually assassinate the direct descendants of the brightvale clan. At the same time he had to learn to control himself to avoid getting himself and his family in trouble. He trained more with his father and sometimes go with his father to stop the advance of a wandering pack of lower tier beasts that are wandering close to the swamp area, at first he wasn't able to kill any but after being tempered, he managed to have his first kill at the age of seven. Where he battles against a third tier early stage beast. As his father watched on the sidelines as vondrel fought for his life, he was ready to step him if things go wrong. However, to his surprise and astonishment, the boy succeeded in taking down a ranker tier beast howbeit, he doesn't also look good. "You did well today, well done." His father praised as he walked towards him. 'that's it....just that??. I just fought with my life on the line but all he has to say is, well done??' vondrel thought as a large frown was plastered on this face "Leader, are you sure you really want your boy to go through this, isn't this too much for him knowing he is not an awakened.??" One of the member of Mark's awakened group said to him after they all witnessed the torturous training he gives the little boy. "He needs it, he needs it to survive.The world out there is not friendly, most especially to the weak, only the strong and witted can survive.The yearly awakened celebration day is drawing closer, meaning he would be attending one of the big academy in those countries. Whether he awakens an ability or not, I want him to be strong enough to protect himself. He is witted and wise, all needed is for him to be strong to be alife." Marie said with a look of concern and seriousness.

As Vondrel's name boomed through the air, his heart skipped a beat. He ascended the first step of the platform, his foot hovering momentarily as if anchored by doubt. The weight of a thousand expectant eyes weighed on him, making his heart tremble with nervousness. In a desperate attempt to calm his racing thoughts, he turned his gaze to where his mother seated. Calming his raising heart, he pushed all thoughts to the back of his head, he then walked up the platform and reached out and placed his hand on the dormant floating crystal, its stillness a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within him.

Behind the veil of closed doors, Vondrel's facade crumbled, revealing a shattered soul. He slumped against the wall, his eyes vacant, his face ashen. The maniacal laughter that had echoed through the Evercoast awakening association's halls now reduced to mere whispers of despair. His body trembled, as if the weight of his failure threatened to consume him whole. He buried his face in his hands, his fingers digging deep into his scalp, as if trying to erase the memories of his inadequacy. Tears, once held back by pride, now streamed down his face, a river of sorrow and regret. His eyes, once bright with hope, now dimmed, like embers extinguished by the harsh winds of reality. He whispered to himself, "What's wrong with me??" The words echoed through the silence, a haunting reminder of his inadequacy. In this moment, Vondrel was lost, a stranger to himself, a shadow of the confident awakened he once aspired to be.As the tears continued to fall, Vondrel's body shook with convulsive

Chapter 102: VISITING THE KIWI CLAN
Visiting The Kiwi Clan The makeshift refugee camp bustled with activity. Students of Evercoast Academy, freed from their Lizardmen captors, were now helping their former enemies set up shelter. Tents were fashioned from large leaves, patches of muddy ground were reinforced with earth magic, and injured Lizardmen were being treated with what little healing resources they had. The humans and the reptilian natives, once at each other’s throats…were now working together, bound by a newfound understanding of survival. James, Sam, and Timmy stood at the edge of the camp, overseeing the work. "Who would’ve thought we'd end up babysitting a bunch of lizards?" Timmy mused, crossing his arms. "Who would’ve thought you’d be this useless at it?" Sam shot back. "They’re doing all the work while you just stand here looking pretty." Timmy rolled his eyes. "Not my fault I wasn’t built for manual labor." James smirked. "Yeah? Then what were you built for?" "Style. Charm. Intelligence…" "Usele
Chapter 101: GRUESOME SIGHT
A hollow ‘ding’ echoed in the air, followed by a mechanical voice. (Whispering Willow Academy – Aliens Brought to Safety – 0) (Silver Moon Academy – Aliens Brought to Safety – 0) (Hidden Grove Academy – Aliens Brought to Safety – 0) (Evercoast Academy – Aliens Brought to Safety – 853) The notification flashed across the competition bands wrapped around the wrists of every participant. The moment the message registered, stunned silence rippled through the competing students across the planet. A boy from Whispering Willow Academy squinted at his wristband. “What the hell?” A girl beside him frowned. “Saving aliens? I thought we were just trying to survive!” “Yeah! Why the hell is Evercoast ahead? I’ve been out here fighting for my damn life, and you’re telling me we were supposed to be rescuing those ugly bastards?” Another student shouted in frustration, kicking a nearby rock. At first, most of the competitors had assumed the goal was endurance—outlasting the horrors of this
Chapter 100: LIZARD LADY
A chorus of alien wails echoed through the cavernous expanse of the underground lair, sending ripples of sound that made the very walls tremble. The massive cave, dimly illuminated by eerie bioluminescent fungi, pulsed with chaos. Lizardmen of various sizes lunged at the four young humans, their weapons glinting under the faint glow. Noah spun, dodging an incoming spear thrust and countered with a wave of searing heat that forced his attacker to stumble back, hissing. Nearby, Sam unleashed a concussive burst of wind, sending a group of Lizardmen flying. Timmy used his water ability to create an arc of liquid that solidified into sharp icicles, pinning some attackers to the walls. Meanwhile, James weaved golden patterns in the air, forming defensive formations that deflected incoming blows. Yet, despite their prowess, the Lizardmen just kept coming. “Are they brain-dead or just masochists?!” Sam yelled as he kicked one of the creatures square in the chest, sending it sprawling. “Ho
Chapter 99: REALIZATION
“We have been walking around for days, covering a large distance, and we haven’t found anyone… not even students from our Academy.” James’s voice was laced with frustration, his words hanging in the air like a curse. The weight of their predicament pressed down on them like a suffocating blanket. He turned to Sam and Timmy, his expression tightening. They stood there, unmoving, like empty husks of the people they once were. Their once vibrant faces had become pale and sickly, their eyes clouded with something deeply unsettling….pain, exhaustion, something beyond simple fatigue. They looked… lifeless. Their faces were pale, their expressions hollow. The once lively, loud, and reckless duo now stood like empty shells, weighed down by something none of them could fully grasp. James swallowed hard. “We haven’t found anyone. Not even our own.” His words felt heavier than they should have. Noah, who had been pacing like a restless beast, suddenly stopped. His breath hitched, his fing
Chapter 98: ARRIVAL ON PLANET AETHERON
Arrival on Planet Aetheron The blinding light from the teleportation faded, and the students from the four Academies found themselves in different locations in planet Aetheron. The planet was as large as merely three quarter of earth. ‘is that even large….whatever’ Evercoast were transported to the northern part of the planet, Silver Moon was transported to the Southern part, Whispering Willow was transported to the Eastern part while Hidden Grove was transported to the western part. The location they were all transported was far from the inhabitants’ settlement. The air, crisp and cool, carried a faint, unfamiliar fragrance…like morning dew mixed with something… electric. The sky above was a soft gradient of deep cerulean and lavender, unlike anything they had seen on Earth. Towering above them were two moons: one large and luminous, casting a brilliant blue hue over the landscape, and a smaller, darker moon that hung ominously, as if watching in silence. The terrain spread befo
CHAPTER 97: THE DE-DAY
THE DE-DAY The day had finally arrived. The entire Earth seemed to hold its breath, vibrating with anticipation. The All Academy Competition was set to begin, and four of the most powerful academies on the planet were about to clash. The tension in the air was palpable. Students from Evercoast Academy, Whispering Willow Academy, Silver Moon Academy, and the wildcard, Hidden Grove Academy, were all standing by, some nervous, some excited, and some already brimming with confidence. It was impossible not to feel the energy ripple through the air. Whispers, rumors, and nervous laughter filled every corner of the academies as participants prepared for the biggest event of their lives. Every student had been training for this moment, pushing their limits in order to prove themselves as the strongest. Suddenly, a booming voice echoed across four locations at once: Evercoast Academy, Whispering Willow Academy, Silver Moon Academy, and Hidden Grove Academy. “Hello, ladies and gentlemen! We
Chapter 96: Continuous training
CONTINOUS TRAINING The days that followed the start of their training were relentless. The initial thrill of being selected for the competition had faded, leaving only the bruising weight of expectation and exhaustion. The sumulator’s training fields, a vast expanse of unforgiving terrain, became a constant reminder of the harsh truth: only the strongest would survive the upcoming competition. Noah, James, Timmy, and Sam quickly found themselves caught in a never-ending cycle of battle simulations, each day a new test of their strength, endurance, and wits. Stelio pushed them harder than they had ever been pushed before. The constant failures and grueling hours in the field laid bare their weaknesses, but with each failure, they rose again, determined to improve. Every evening, they returned to their dormitory, bruised and battered, only to face another trial the next day. It was during these sessions that Noah began to notice the subtle transformation in himself. His control over
Chapter 95: TRAINING SIMULATOR
TRAINING SIMULATOR The silence in the dormitory stretched for what felt like an eternity. The night was still young, but the academy grounds were alive with murmurs and low voices, the buzz of students overwhelmed by the lingering weight of the day’s announcement. Inside the small room, four first-years sat in near-perfect stillness, each one grappling with the same brutal truth—that they had just been told to prepare for something more dangerous than any of them had ever imagined. It was a game. And in this game, some would die. Noah, the most composed of the group, was the first to break the silence, though not in the way anyone expected. He didn’t speak, not at first, but ran a hand through his messy dark hair, his eyes fixed firmly on the ceiling as if searching for answers in the cracks above. He had always been the solid rock of their group, the one everyone looked to for guidance, but even he seemed shaken tonight. Sam, ever the fidgety one, tapped absentmindedly at the Wind
Chapter 94: THE RECKONING APPROACH
THE RECKONING APPROACH The air inside the grand hall was thick with tension, the weight of unspoken anxieties pressing down on the thousands of students gathered within. Conversations buzzed through the space….hushed whispers, nervous chuckles, the occasional boast from those who thought themselves untouchable. Then, suddenly…… "Silence!" The voice that rang out was like a thunderclap, instantly killing the murmur of voices. The students, whether seated in the front or far back, turned their attention to the raised podium. For those too far to see clearly, massive screens provided a close-up of the imposing figure standing before them. A man in an ash-colored suit, worn without a tie and with the top buttons of his shirt undone, surveyed the crowd with cold, calculating eyes. His ash-colored hair was streaked with silver, and his broad shoulders carried the authority of someone who had long since abandoned patience for results. "You are all aware of the upcoming All-Academy Compe
