BORN OF DOOM CHAPTER 78: BREAKTHROUGH
As Noah pressed on, the oppressive heat of the volcanic terrain began to shift. The air grew cooler, and a sharp, cutting wind howled through the landscape. The ground beneath him was now a mix of hardened lava and jagged stone, and his fire magic felt sluggish, the gusts sapping the energy from his flames. "Perfect," Noah muttered, wrapping his arms around himself against the biting wind. He pressed forward cautiously, his eyes scanning for any sign of danger. It wasn’t long before the sky above darkened, and the shrill cries of creatures pierced the air. Four massive sparrows, each the size of a small house, descended from the turbulent sky. Their feathers shimmered like polished obsidian, and their beaks glowed faintly with fiery embers. The sparrows circled him like vultures, their keen eyes locking onto him as they dove in turns. Noah barely managed to dodge the first strike, the force of the bird's claws gouging deep trenches into the ground. He retaliated with a blast o
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 79: SAM'S MISSION
As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows over the jagged cliffs of the Whispering Canyon, Sam stood at its entrance, his eyes scanning the vast expanse ahead. His guide, a wiry man with an almost spectral presence, smirked as they approached. "You’re already hearing the whispers, aren’t you?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper itself, as if he feared the canyon could hear him. Sam frowned, the faint murmurs at the edge of his hearing growing louder with each step. It was as if the canyon itself was alive, its winds carrying the echoes of ancient voices. “The voices will try to break you,” the guide continued, his smirk fading into a serious expression. “They’ll show you what you fear most, what you desire most. If you can’t overcome that, you’ll become one of them.” He paused, his eyes narrowing. “This is where I leave you.” Before Sam could respond, the guide vanished, leaving him alone at the canyon’s mouth. The sudden silence was deafening, broken only by the e
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 80: THE SHIFTING CURRENT
After clearing the trial, he then proceeds to the next trial. The path ahead of Sam was more daunting than anything he had faced so far. The canyon floor here was a perilous landscape riddled with deep chasms, with only narrow stone bridges connecting the fragmented sections of land. Each bridge seemed more treacherous than the last, and above them, the air currents shifted with unpredictable ferocity, sending powerful gusts that threatened to throw him off balance at any moment. Sam stood at the edge of the first bridge, taking in the chaotic scene. The wind howled around him, tugging at his clothes and hair, as if it had a mind of its own. The narrowness of the stone path and the depth of the chasms below made every step feel like a gamble with gravity. He took a deep breath, extending his hand in an attempt to control the wind, channeling his energy to stabilize the chaotic currents. But the wind here was wild and untamed, resisting his efforts to tame it. It surged and twisted u
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 81: THE GUARDIAN OF THE ARTIFACT
The path to the artifact led Sam into a narrow, wind-carved gorge, the walls on either side rising high above him. The air here was eerily still, a stark contrast to the chaotic winds that had plagued him earlier. Sam could feel the tension in the air, a quiet forewarning of the challenge to come. He paused, scanning the environment for any signs of danger. Suddenly, the stillness broke. A sharp gust of wind brushed past his ear, too precise to be natural. Sam spun around, his eyes narrowing as he tried to pinpoint the source. The wind shifted again, this time from behind. He turned just in time to see a faint ripple in the air, a distortion that seemed to shimmer and move. Before he could react, a powerful force slammed into him, knocking him off his feet. Sam hit the ground hard, the breath rushing out of his lungs. He scrambled to his feet, realizing that he was under attack. But from what? The attackers were invisible, their presence only revealed by the disturbances they create
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 82: THE ABYSSAL SANCTUM
THE Abyssal Sanctum. Timmy stood at the edge of the vast ocean, the sun dipping below the horizon and casting a golden glow on the water’s surface. Legends spoke of a powerful artifact hidden deep within, the Trident of Tides, guarded by water spirits and bound by riddles. His mission was clear: retrieve the trident and unravel the mystery of the temple. But as Timmy gazed out at the endless expanse of water, he couldn't shake the feeling that the mission would demand more than just his ability to manipulate water; it would test his intellect, resolve, and ultimately, his wisdom. The guard by his side turned to him and said. “I will accompany you to the entrance and you will continue from there.” He paused and turned to look at the waters. “I don’t know what mission is being given to you, but I doubt you can survive it. Whatever the reason the Miss sent to here for, it still make me wonder why a kid would be sent here.” The man then turned and directly jumped into the water. His
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 83: THE ILLUSION OF THE PAST
The Illusion of the Past Timmy lay sprawled on the cold stone floor of the chamber, his chest heaving with each ragged breath, his clothes soaked and clinging to his skin. The ordeal of the labyrinth had left him drained, both physically and mentally. Yet, as he rested momentarily, a faint smile crept onto his face, a brief flicker of triumph against the odds. “I didn’t think I would escape that,” he thought, the smile widening slightly. His thoughts, however, were abruptly interrupted by a deep, resonant voice that seemed to emanate from the very walls around him. “Are you smiling already?.” Timmy’s body tensed instantly. He sprang to his feet, assuming a fighting stance, his eyes scanning the chamber. But all he could see was a dense mist that had materialized, shrouding everything in an eerie, impenetrable veil. There was no discernible path forward or backward; the mist enveloped all. “Foolish human, let’s see how you conquer this,” the voice taunted, its tone laced with a c
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 84: THE GUARDIANS OF THE ABYSS
The Guardians of the Abyss Timmy’s path was now obstructed by two colossal water spirits, the guardians of the ancient temple. These ethereal beings towered over him, their translucent forms shimmering with an eerie blue light that pulsed in rhythm with the temple's ancient heart. Each guardian wielded a massive trident, forged from the same elemental water that composed their bodies. The weapons seemed to hum with power, the tips gleaming sharply, promising destruction with every swing. The guardians exuded an overwhelming presence, the water around them swirling in obedience, a testament to their mastery over the very element that Timmy sought to control. Timmy floated just outside their reach, his eyes scanning the immense figures with a mix of awe and dread. His body was battered from the previous trials, his muscles aching, and his breath came in shallow gasps. Blood seeped from the numerous cuts that marred his skin, blending with the water around him in ghostly crimson tendri
BORN OF DOOM Chapter 85: THE HEART OF THE ABYSS
The Heart of the Abyss At the heart of the temple, Timmy finally found what he had been seeking: an ancient altar bathed in the soft glow of luminescent corals. Suspended above it by a gentle current was the Trident of Tides, a magnificent artifact that radiated power and beauty. Its design was a masterful blend of ancient artistry and natural elegance. The shaft, crafted from a mysterious metal, bore intricate engravings that mimicked the ebb and flow of ocean waves. The three prongs glimmered with an ethereal light, pulsing as if in rhythm with the heartbeat of the sea itself. Timmy approached the altar with a mix of awe and trepidation. His eyes traced every line of the trident, the patterns flowing like water down its length. It was a weapon, yes, but also a symbol of balance and harmony, a tool of immense power designed to command the very seas. As he extended his hand, the atmosphere around him shifted. The whispers returned, louder and more insistent than before, filling the

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
