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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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

    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

  • BORN OF DOOM   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

  • BORN OF DOOM   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…"

"MY, OH MY!" he bellowed, his excitement bursting through the speakers. "The point board has been updated, and these kids aren’t letting up at all!" A sharp, irritated voice immediately cut in beside him. "Will you lower that damned tone before I go deaf?!" Lisanna snapped, clutching her chest as if she had just suffered a heart attack. Her breath was uneven, her glare was sharp, and her frustration was palpable. Paul turned to her, blinking. "I… I didn’t mean to scare you that much. Besides, you just screamed yourself." Lisanna huffed, waving him off. "Just…just get on wit

Timmy, seated lazily at the bank of a vast, shimmering lake, barely spared it a glance. His drenched clothes dripped into the sand, but he didn’t care. Instead, he twirled a small crystal in his fingers, his expression somewhere between bored and unimpressed. "Who would’ve thought a Gilberk-tier beast wouldn’t survive a simple test of my skills… sigh, what a waste." His voice carried a dramatic lament, but the laziness in his tone made it clear he wasn’t all that heartbroken. A familiar voice spoke up from behind him. "So, you’re the one who suddenly boosted our

    PLANET CORAL Planet Coral is an awe-inspiring world brimming with life, vibrance, and an almost surreal beauty. Situated in the outer reaches of an uncharted galaxy, it stands as a testament to the wonders of nature and cosmic evolution. Its unique ecosystem, strange yet magnificent landscapes, and ethereal energy make it one of the most intriguing planets in existence. From space, Planet Coral shimmers like an opalescent gem, its surface reflecting hues of deep blues, purples, and iridescent pinks. Unlike typical planets with landmasses and vast continents, most of Coral’s surface is covered in water, but not just any water…luminous, crystalline oceans that glow faintly even in the darkest nights. The ocean is filled with bioluminescent organisms, and beneath its depths lies a vast, interconnected web of coral-like structures that serve as the foundation of the planet’s unique biosphere. The sky above Planet Coral is a mixture of deep indigo and swirling streaks of violet during t

    THE VANISHED ANCESTRAL GATE A thunderous voice shattered the silence, shaking the very foundation of the chamber. “WHAT IN THE HEAVENS ARE YOU SAYING, HUH?!” The moment the words left the clan leader’s mouth, the temperature plummeted. The once grand and imposing chamber, filled with ornate carvings and ancient symbols of power, now felt like a tomb. The air grew suffocating, pressing down on the kneeling men with an unbearable weight. The energy in the room twisted, thick with murderous intent. The three men who knelt before him trembled violently, sweat trickling down their temples. Their breathing turned shallow, their limbs stiffening under the crushing force of his aura. One of them, a man with a scar running down his cheek, swallowed hard, his voice quivering as he spoke. “C-Clan leader… w-we didn’t know how it happened… W-We felt a slight energy fluctuation, and we rushed to investigate, but w-when we got there… the A-Ancestral Gate was… i-it was…” The words refused to co

    “YO… WE ARE BACK AGAIN! ANOTHER DAY FOR THE STUDENTS FROM THE VARIOUS TOP ACADEMIES TO SHOW US WHAT THEY'VE GOT!” The deafening voice of the announcer rang through the grand stadium, reverberating across the massive screens displaying live footage of the competition grounds. After several days of rest, anticipation was at its peak, and the spectators roared in excitement. “I have been waiting for this,” Lisanna chimed in, her voice carrying an amused lilt. “And I’m sure a lot of people are dying to see what happens next.” “I’m also anticipating it, okay, Lisanna? Besides, our little bet is still active, and my wealth is increasing by the second.” The announcer smirked. “Oh, I can’t say the same for you, though,” he added smugly. Lisanna scoffed, crossing her arms. “Yeah, yeah, get all cocky while you can, you lousy, overgrown dummy.” “Hey! I ain’t overgrown! I’m still young!” the announcer protested. Lisanna narrowed her eyes. “Yeah? I wouldn’t take you up on that.” She waved d

  • Chapter 113: UNKNOWN DISAPPEARANCE

    A vast expanse of dense, swirling higher energy stretched endlessly, pulsating like a living entity. It was thick—so thick that even the most trained eyes would struggle to see through it. The air carried an eerie stillness, yet a silent pressure bore down on everything within its domain. Then, suddenly… WUMM! The once-calm energy thrashed violently, twisting and writhing as if in pain. The fluctuations sent shockwaves rippling outward, making the fabric of space tremble. The energy condensed further, making the visibility nearly impossible, forming an impenetrable mist of swirling power. At the very center of this phenomenon, where the energy was the thickest, stood two figures. They were garbed in simple robes that flowed weightlessly, untouched by the turbulent surroundings. One of them, clad in a crimson garment, stood tall, his presence exuding a quiet confidence. The other, wearing ash-colored robes, seemed more composed, his stance steady and unreadable beneath the hood th

    PREMONITION (R18) The air in the dimly lit parlor carried a languid warmth, thick with unspoken words and unrestrained desire. The golden glow of the ornate chandelier cast a soft shimmer over the plush cushions, the expensive décor surrounding the two figures who had long since drowned in their own private world. A man, poised and enigmatic, leaned back against the velvet couch, his fingers tracing the rim of a crystal glass filled with champagne. He swirled the golden liquid absentmindedly, his thoughts lingering on the weight of the competition and the storm yet to come. Despite his outwardly relaxed posture, tension coiled in his muscles, a foreboding sense that refused to dissipate. “It’s about to begin,” he murmured, his voice a low hum that blended with the soft jazz playing in the background. From the shadows behind the couch, a delicate hand trailed over his bare chest, fingers feather-light yet electric against his skin. The touch was unhurried, savoring every inch of hi

    RESULT The grand display screen flickered, the shimmering golden letters adjusting as the final results of the zone capture competition settled in. The entire competition arena, spanning multiple viewing platforms, roared with anticipation as the rankings appeared for all to see, even those watching at home were all in delightful edge. Final Zone Capture Results: • Silver Moon Academy – 5 zones + main zone (Total: 6) • Evercoast Academy – 5 zones + main zone (Total: 6) • Whispering Willow Academy – 3 zones + main zone (Total: 4) • Hidden Grove Academy – 3 zones + main zone (Total: 4) The leaderboard settled, and the world took in the results. For a moment, there was nothing but murmurs—then came the reactions. "WE DID IT! WE'RE ON TOP!" A deafening cheer erupted from the Evercoast students, echoing throughout the viewing platform as the name of their academy solidified at the top of the board. "Yeah! Even though Silver Moon is listed first, we know that doesn't mean anything!

    BATTLE FOR FLOWING SCEPTER The battle rage on in between Whispering Willow attackers and Evercoast defenders. “Curse those bastard top students” One student from Whispering Willow cursed “Curse you Vincent, curse you more Numba. Those two bastards aren’t taking this serious.” Another chimed in “Curse yourself for being weak” An irritated voice came from behind them and immediately a loud bang resounded and the two were sent flying. The two stood up and turned to see their attacker but before they could get hold of their footing…a blue flash of light sizzled past them, making their bodies get electrocuted. The two struggled to break free from the constant blue lightning. “Trying to break free huh. A bit of advice from me to you.” A boy from Evercoast who was controlling the blue lightning said as he walked close to them. “No one gets out of my lightning trap once caught…if you intend to break free from that, you need to try harder.” Without wasting more time, he turned into a li
