BORN OF DOOM Chapter 57: STRANGE LIGHTNING
Tamar chuckled, her eyes flashing with amusement. She pointed a finger at Vondrel, releasing a bolt of pink lightning. Instinctively, Vondrel stomped the ground, summoning an earthen wall to shield himself. But as the lightning struck, it didn’t shatter or even stop at the wall—it phased through, passing effortlessly and hitting him square in the chest. A jolt of electricity surged through his body, leaving his muscles numb and his movements sluggish. What kind of power is this? he thought, struggling to comprehend the strange energy weakening him so profoundly. His thoughts raced, trying to analyze the effect, but Tamar's mocking voice cut through. “Did you really think an earth wall would stop my lightning?” she taunted. But before she could press her advantage, a gleaming white and gold slash streaked toward her face. Tamar barely managed to dodge, jumping back just in time to avoid the strike. “Oh, so tricky,” she muttered, regaining her stance as Vondrel charged at her. His
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 58: STRANGE LIGHTNING 2
Amidst his desperate struggle to break free from Tamar's unrelenting grip, Vondrel glanced toward Lucin. He hoped his ally was faring better, but his heart sank. Lucin was locked in a relentless battle with the storm of pink lightning. The more he destroyed them, the stronger they seemed to grow, as though they were alive and adapting. It wouldn’t take long before Lucin was overwhelmed. “I could kill you right now,” Tamar said, her voice laced with mockery, “but you still worry about your pal over there. Don’t fret. He’ll join you soon enough. But first, I’ll teach you not to annoy a beauty like me again.” Her grip on Vondrel’s neck tightened, and the crackling pink lightning surged through his body with even greater intensity. Pain racked every inch of his being, his muscles convulsing uncontrollably. His vision blurred, and his body screamed for release. --- (Acquisition begins. Everything comes with a price.) (1%, 2%, 5%, 8%, 20%...) (Stay under the effect of the lightning to
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 59: STRANGE LIGHTNING 3
"Here it comes," Vondrel muttered as he braced himself, closing his eyes tightly.Lucin, standing nearby, saw the impending danger and attempted to intervene, but a barrage of dark pink lightning bolts surged toward him with intensified ferocity, keeping him at bay. The crackling bolts illuminated the darkened skies before crashing into Vondrel's position. A deafening explosion erupted, sending shockwaves rippling outward and obliterating everything within the vicinity.As the lightning struck Vondrel, the temporal protective garment shielding him disintegrated in an instant, along with all the summoned energies and auras surrounding him. His defenses shattered, leaving him entirely exposed. Vondrel's eyes shot open in shock, and an agonizing scream tore from his throat."AHHHHHH!" His voice echoed through the chaos as his body convulsed violently under the relentless assault. The once impenetrable skin that marked his resilience began to sear and crack under the bolts’ scorching inte
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 60: STRANGE LIGHTNING FINALE
Rad pursued Tamar with relentless determination, his every step sending tremors through the ground. As he stomped, chunks of earth surged beneath him, propelling him forward. With his massive axe in hand, he closed the gap and swung downward, aiming to crush her. Tamar sidestepped the blow with ease, her movements fluid and precise. Rad wasted no time. Before she could counter, jagged spikes erupted from the ground, shooting at her from all angles. The barrage was relentless, leaving her no room to rest. Tamar’s reflexes were remarkable, her lithe form twisting and turning to avoid the deadly spikes. But her challenge multiplied as Lucin joined the assault. From a distance, Lucin launched fireballs, fiery bombs, and blazing whips that arced through the air. The combined assault forced Tamar to split her focus, dodging the spikes while deflecting the fire attacks. Rad seized the opportunity, clenching his twin axes together. With a low growl, he forced the weapons to fuse, their
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 61: EXHAUSTION
The battlefield was silent, the tension finally dissipating as everyone let out breaths they didn’t realize they were holding. The storm clouds above cleared, revealing the crimson hues of dusk. The only sounds were the faint crackling of residual lightning and the groans of the injured."Did she really leave us alone just because of him? And what was that message she mentioned?" Rad muttered under his breath, his gaze shifting to Vondrel, who stood at the epicenter of it all."I guess someone has finally managed to get on the good side of that dangerous beauty," Lucin quipped with a wry smile, casting a sidelong glance at Vondrel.But Vondrel didn’t respond. His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly spent. His breaths came in ragged gasps, his body drenched in sweat. Lucin, too, sank to the floor, leaning back against a shattered rock as he stared up at the now-clear sky.Rad, however, remained standing, his piercing gaze fixed on Vondrel. The weight of his unspoken
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 62: PLANET SATUM
The harsh wind howled across the endless expanse of sand, grains swirling in chaotic patterns. Four figures trudged onward, their forms battered and smeared with dust and the dark blood of beasts they had fought. Every step felt heavier than the last, the blazing sun overhead casting wavering heat mirages across the sandy wasteland. “The closer we get to the hyper-tier snail, the fiercer and more coordinated these beasts become,” Timmy said, his voice tinged with both awe and exhaustion. “And let’s not forget, none of these creatures even come close to the snail in terms of tier or power,” added Noah grimly. “What annoys me the most is their teamwork. It’s as if they have a collective consciousness,” Sam muttered, his voice low. Their conversation lapsed into silence as the group pressed forward, the crunch of their boots on sand the only sound. After a while, Sam broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Can we really defeat a hyper-tier beast if it comes to it?” The words h
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 63: AGAINST THE SNAIL BEAST
The sandy terrain of planet Satum was eerily quiet, save for the occasional rustle of the wind and the distant echo of defeated beasts fading into nothingness.“We’re here to hunt, remember?” Timmy reminded, breaking the silence. “We find the king beast, get the exact description and location, and head back.”“Yeah, yeah, we know the drill,” Sam muttered, crouching to collect a beast crystal from one of the defeated creatures.James wiped sweat from his brow and straightened up. “I’ve already seen it,” he said, his voice brimming with confidence.The others turned toward him. “Seen what?” they asked in unison.“The snail. It’s a few kilometers from here,” James responded nonchalantly, pointing in the distance.“Take the T-Cam and zoom in on it. Let’s confirm it and then leave,” Noah suggested, glancing at the horizon.James grabbed the T-Cam, a sleek, handheld device capable of magnifying distant objects with remarkable clarity. He adjusted its settings and focused on the massive figu
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 64: BOND
James, in desperation, hurled every crystal he had into the glowing formation. Even the rare gilberk-tier crystals were offered up, but the insatiable formation greedily consumed them without any sign of stopping. He clenched his fists, frustration etching lines on his face. The others stood watching, hesitant but unwilling to let him bear the burden alone. Sam, rolling his eyes but stepping forward nonetheless, broke the silence. "Even though I’d love to punch that smug face of yours, you’re still my brother. Guess I’ll help," he muttered, tossing his own stash of crystals into the formation. The others, spurred by Sam’s reluctant generosity, began to empty their own collections. One by one, they offered up their reserves. Crystals glowed and dissolved into the formation, feeding its ravenous energy. The ground trembled faintly as the magic surged, yet the formation remained unfulfilled. Every last crystal had been consumed, leaving them at a loss. “It’s still not enough,” Jam

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
