2023-07-15 15:52:52Kayden knew he needed to grow stronger, but more than that, he desired strength.Coming from an average family that can barely afford to live a fancy life, he hadn't acuired his ability by conventional means. Meaning that he hadn't obtained it with money or other sought-after valuables. No, he had discovered this ability by mistake. Still, he was glad because of it.
He knew that his uncle could never afford to get him an ability, not yo mention one that was of the Mystery Class. If he couldn't even get his own daughter an ability, then what could he have done for Kayden.The use of his ability had saved his cousin's life, and it was bound to safe him in the future as well. Kayden knew a lot about different kinds of abilities. Up until he had gotten his, he never knew about one that granted the user the power of transformation. Still, even though his power was rare, he knew that he was still no match for the students who coveted his rank.The fact that they weren't present for magical weapons class didn't make matters any easier for him. Although he could've just told his friends what was happening to him, he didn't want them to feel sorry for him or focus too much on him instead of their own progress at the academy. His problems were his own to deal with. Fortunately, his ability could help with that.You see, along with this rare ability, the source from which it came from had given him something quite social.[Beast Driven][Beast 1: Werewolf][Beast 2: Locked][Beast 3: Locked][Beast 4: Locked][Beast 5: Locked][Beast 6: Locked][Beast 7: Locked][Beast 8: Locked][Beast 9: Locked][Beast 10: Locked][Beast 1: Werewolf][Skills: Locked][Durability: 100%][Subclasses: Locked][History and Location: Will be unlocked once the user reaches level fifty][Level: 1][Host can level up by completing Quests.][Quests: None][User's Mana][10000/10000][Mana Regeneration][25/minute][Increase Mana Regeneration][Total Concentration Breathing]This is his special power, an advanced system capable of granting him power beyond his wildest imagination. However, such power wouldn't just come for free.'Ever since I had gotten this system, it hasn't given me a single quest.'Kayden began to think back to the day he had gotten the system.___________It was rainy that day. He was on his way back from school when he saw a glowing, mystifying light coming from behind an alley. At first, he thought it was some Shales trying to cast their magic. Scared, he thought it'd be best to run away so they wouldn't spot him. But, for some reason, he was curious as to what might really be going on.As his curiusity got the better of him, it overcame his fear, forcing him to peek through to see what it was that was producing that orange light. There weren't any Shales. But, he did find something else. Covered I dirt, but not completely, was a piece of glowing crystal.It was no ordinary illuminated crystal, as it was that which abilities found their way to Earth in the first place. It was the source of everyone's abilities on Earth. Seeing as it was isolated with no one around, thoughts began rummaging his mind.He began to remember how much he would be bullied at school for being weak. And although his friends always stook beside him despite his weakness, he wanted to be able to stand up for himself on his own. He wanted a strength that he could call his own.Overcome by this desire, he dug out the crystal and did what any desperate soul would do in his place. Not having an ability, he knew of how people drew the power from a crystal. It was a process that require deep focus to achieve. It was similar to how one activates their ability or even a magical weapon.Not long after he began to focus, he could feel a red energy coursing through his veins. The process was painful. He bore through it all, putting all his hope on the potential end results. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity he couldn't afford to give up no matter what.It felt like he was being stung by a thousand scorpions while being bathed in concentrated acid. The process gave him a pain one could only find in the pits of hell. Of course, for one to aquire an ability, they must go through such pain. Kayden didn't even care what ability class he would get. He just wanted to have an ability so he would no longer be weak. Little did he know then that he had struck diamond.The process lasted for only a few minutes, it felt like an eternity of peak torture and suffering. Once the extraction process finally came to an end, Kayden let go of the crystal on his hands, allowing it to hit the concrete ground and shatter into a multitude of pieces. He had just gotten his ability, and he felt stronger than ever.His senses had drastically improved, and he felt overall refresh and even reborn in a sense. This event took place not longer than three months ago, and Kayden would forever remember it. The day he stop being weak and pathetic. What he had received that day wasn't just any random ability.[Congratulations, Host][You have obtained a mystery class ability][Additionally, you have obtained a system to better understand and grow your ability as well][Activating the system now][Beast Driven has been activated]Kayden was far too confused as to what the heck was going on.__________'I didn't really used my ability much after that. Although there were people who still bullied me back in high school. 'I made sure I put them in their place as soon as I felt like I was strong enough. Heck, the people who bullied me back then are no where near as strong as the students in this school so it was easy for me to get back at them. The time I really he to use this ability was after Stacy was kidnapped.'Having to result to underground fighting as a means to generate enough money to pay her ransom. Although I'm glad about one thing. The people who enter that underground fighting club are allowed to wear masks to hide their true identities.'I wasn't about to let a bunch of gamblers and even kidnappers to know who I really am. That way, they could use their connections and dig up way too much information about me. Who I am. Where I live. The school I attend.'Plus, they had seen Stacy's face so they can easily do the same thing to her and ended up finding out about me if they wanted to. Ijust hope that guy has truely lost interest in me and my family,' Kayden thought to himself.The fact that those two students hadn't made it to magical weapons class was quite concerning, still, he couldn't waste his time thinking about them if they weren't going to make a move on him anymore. According to the system, Kayden needed to complete Quests to grow stronger. Since the day he had gotten this system, it hadn't given him a single quest.There were other ways to add to his strength, such as the Intermediate Grade Ring from the magical weapons class, the total concentration breathing technique he had learnt from the abilities class, and even the Ikkyo technique he was still learning from the combat class. Kayden had so many areas to improve on that he wasn't too concerned about not receiving a quest so far.'Perhaps it has to do with the challenges I face. Maybe, so far, I haven't really faced anything that the system consider challenging.' Kayden could disagree with that. He could think of a number of times ever since getting the system that his life had been on the line.Other that that, the other two students in the Mystery Class division seemed to be keeping on with their instructor on a somewhat underdog level. Neither of them were showing the same level of growth as himself. He could tell that they were gradually getting stronger.On his way back to his dorm room, he could hear the sound of students chatting with each other. Wanting to just walk past them, it wasn't until he heard what they were talking about that made him stop in place."Hey, guys. Did you hear? Apparently, some students beat up Steve and Josh before they could attack Kayden. They're currently in the infirmary receiving medical treatment.""So does this mean that we have a new Titan five?""That's what he just said, you idiot!"Kayden was shocked to hear that the people who were after him, had been dealt with by those who were targeting them as well.'Sigh... the food chain,' Kayden thought, before continuing to walk back to his dorm room.___________I hope you enjoyed the chapter.My goal is to one day become a famous author.If you want my dream to become a reality, then please keep on reading and support this work.

Beast Driven Fall(Part 2)
Blake was about to take Carter to the infirmary after beating the absolute crap out of him. Seeing as had gone way too far with the beating, he decided against using so much force next time. Blake and Carter had almost nearly the same rank, but had grown far stronger that Carter over the past few days. He had taken all the classes more seriously than the later and was even more hellbent on surpassing his limits. So much so that he did something kind of crazy. On his way out of the room, his path was immediately blocked by a group of students."Hey, do.you guys kind getting out of the way? I need to get my friend over here to the infirmary," he said, gesturing to the blonde-haired student on his back. The five students looked at each other and smiled."Oh, we don't care about any of that," the leader of the group said, before shooting his hands out. Out came a flash of red light that zapped Blake and Carter where he stood, sending them flying back into the Arena and crashing on the fl
Beast Driven A Lesson
Since he wasn't able to stop both his friends from getting the beating of a lifetime, Kayden had failed the first ever quest which had been given to him by the system. Although there were no consequences for failing a quest, he was still disappointed in himself for not being able yo assist them in their own time of need.He had failed to protect the people he cares about once again. Kayden needed to think of a way to ensure that what happened today never repeated itself in the future.It was clear as day that the school authorities were not going to interfere in the affairs of the students. As long as the offspring of a rich and powerful family doesn't get killed while under the supervision and tutorship of the academy, then they had nothing else to worry about.At the end of the day, no one cared about the interests of those who had no connections to the influencial. Most especially when you look at the Grand scheme of things. In their minds, everything they did was yo ensure that th
Beast Driven Talk Of The School
Zain had been Kayden's friend ever since they were freshmen back at highschool. For as long as he knew Kayden, the latter had always been a secretive person, who wouldn't even open up to his friends about the things that were bothering him.However, after witnessing Kayden being at the mercy of those two students, he decided to step in and assist him at his time of need. He did something that friends were supposed to do for each other. Friends were also meant to tell each other what was going on with them when they had a lot of things bothering them."About what?" Kayden asked, his tone heavy, not wanting to talk about anything related to the incident that had just taken place. Zain looked at both students on the floor before turning back to face Kayden."I've known for a while now that these two have been after you. You've been worrying about them for over a day now. I saw how distracted you looked during all the classes today. You could barely keep your focus even when your instruct
Beast Driven Shawn's Power
Kayden's roommates were two boys named Paul and Shawn. While Paul had challenged Kayden to a fight less than two weeks from today, Shawn was more interested in others things besides fighting. Athough his strength wasn't something to laugh at, his wristwatch displayed the number 24.2, meaning that he was above even Kayden in rank.Still, despite this, fighting and growing stronger wasn't something he enjoyed doing. It was just a necessity to ensure that he could live his life doing what he truely enjoyed. Shawn was someone who loved to dabble in science. During his free time, he would spend his time creating all sorts of gadgets while further expanding his knowledge on the world around him.One would begin to think how he could do such a thing, considering the fact that his room was big, but not big enough to contain something akin to a laboratory where he could invest his free time in chasing his passion. Of course, he was able to do just that thanks to the Shales, well, their magic,
Beast Driven Madison's Dilemma

Madison had just headed back to her dorm room after the magical weapons class had ended for the day.She had a rank of 12.1, and although it wasn't that bad, she still wished that she could improve on it. So, that night, she decided to do something she never thought she would ever do the day that she had first entered the academy."I challenge you for your rank!" she yelled at one of her roommates. Since everyone else seemed to be challenging other students for their ranks, she decided why not do the same thing as well. She was interested in how she would be treated if she ends up becoming one of the five titans. But, for now, she would have to start small, challenging her roommate who was just a little above her in rank. Madison had seen the girl used her ability during the abilities class, so she knew that
Beast Driven Growing Stronger
The purple-coloured ring was designed to grant whoever was wearing it the power of transportation. Although this skill also came in the form of a Tracker Class ability, the fact that magical weapons also possessed abilities made them highly sought after worldwide and is the reason why there are so many of them in today's world.Kayden was interested in knowing the full extent of the ring's capabilities. Surely, there were limitations that came with this power, similar to the way one's ability worked. There were bound to be things the ring could and could not do and maybe a way to increase its power.He wasted no time in activating the ring. It began to glow purple as a system notification had appeared at the same time.[Ring Of Teleportation has been activated]Kayden then thought of where he wanted to be, similar to how one would use the skill as an ability, and his body suddenly appeared on that very same spot.

Beast Driven Learning Aikido
Wanting to explain all the remaining Aikido techniques left for the students to learn, the instructors began explaining the other forms before finally decided to provide a demonstration on each of them. Honestly, it was a lot for the students to handle. They had just managed to learn one technique, and now, they were being forced to learn five more as soon as possible."After Sankyo, we have Yonkyo, which is also known as the Forth Teaching. This is a basic Aikido wrist control technique involving a pressure point. It is one of the Basic pinning techniques of Aikido. Within Aikido circles, it is considered with something of an awe, because of the distinct pain it induces."Then, there is Gokyo and Rokkyo. Gokyo, also known as the Fifth Teaching, is a basic Aikido elbow control technique used in situations such as removing a knife or a dagger from an opponent's hand.

A Growing Power
Fighting against the large centipede-like beast, Kayla was doing her best to evade its attack. Now, standing a good distance away, she activated her ability, covering both her fists in flames as her eyes glowed bright yellow.She rushed forward, delivering a punch to the centre of its body, quickly moving away before it would close its legs, attempting to slash at her skin. Observing the beast, she was waiting for another opportunity to move in to attack. Whenever she would see a chance, she would rush in and deliver a strong blow, her flames burning the area she would strike.Meanwhile, the adventurer had made quick work of the beasts that were rushing towards them. Instead of focusing on Kayla fighting against the large beast, he was more interested in the reason why so many beasts were running towards their direction.'Before these beasts came, there was a loud bang coming from the north. Maybe it's a higher grade beast, or maybe…' he began to run in the direction where the explosi

The Urge To Kill(Part 2)
"I like it when they run," Marcus said, a wide grin tearing through his face as he gazed upon tbe multitude of people scattering across the open road in search of safety. With screams filled with terror, the street was turned upside down as people ran across the roads, some crashing into glass windows just to get to safety.Seeing all of this unfold right before his eyes, there was a sense of excitement brewing within him.The soul that was taking over his body, seeing everyone running to safety, quickly kicked off against his feet, rushing tiwards tbe nearest person before swiping his hand, killing the man in a single strike.Quickly, he rushed towards the next person, repeating the process as he killed people after people, slowly littering the street with a pile of dead bodies.With all this chaos going on, ut wasn't long until someone had gotten in contact with the local police station, informing them lf the crises currently taking place.

The Urge To Kill
Simply on her way through the strange land, searching for someone who could help her leave this strange planet, she was surprised when she stumbled across someone who went by the title of adventurer, a person who hunts down beasts for a living, using their Mana core to either earn money on the global market, or to increase one's own Mana pool by absorbing the energy contained in the Mana core.Standing in front of him, Kayla was wondering what she would say now. She wanted to use this man to help her gain more strength on this planet, and also, she was hoping if he would be her ticket to actually leaving this planet and heading back home."Are you an adventurer?" The man asked, quickly scanning the attire she was wearing. He immediately noticed that her uniform was unlike anything that an adventurer would wear while put in missions. After staring at her clothing for a while, something finally clicked in his mind."Are you a military student?!" He suddenly screamed, his eyes wide in sh

The Lone Adventurer
In order to restore her Mana, she would have to practice the total concentration breathing technique, the technique that would enable her body to siphon the natural Mana that was in the air all around her, transporting that Mana into her body for her to utilize her ability.After a few minutes of concentration, Kayla began to notice something strange.'This is weird. Normally, whenever I cultivate my Mana using total concentration breathing, it would take at least a whole hour for my Mana to fully restore. Depending on how injured my body was or the overall quality of Mana I would take in, it would usually take a longer time for my Mana pool to increase.'But, on this strange planet, it's like my mana is increasing at a much faster rate than it would normally back on Earth. I wonder, does this have something to do with the nature of the Mana in the air?'Regardless of what it was, she was glad that she would be able to increase her Mana holding capacity at a much faster rate on this p

An Addiction
"Hey! What is going on here?!" A voice yelled, as the door leading into the room swung open, and rushing in, were two academy instructors who looked to be in a state of panic after briefly witnessing the scene taking place. Quickly, one of the instructors rushed towards the student still standing, grabbing hold of his arm and twisting his body, sending him crashing towards the floor the next second.Meanwhile, the other instructor rushed towards the student who had collapsed on the floor prior to their entry. Kayden was still in his werewolf form, but the instructor knew the student's identity, since there was only one first year student with a transformation ability."I hope he will be okay," picking up the student, the man rushed out of the room with Kayden slumped over his shoulder, taking him straight to the infermary to receive medical treatment. "How on Earth did this happen? Aren't all students meant to be in class during this time?"Picking up the other student from the floor,

Stronger First Year
After a while of rolling non-stop on the floor, Marcus's cries for help had finally come to a halt. Staggering for a while, he eventually managed to regain his stance, standing upright and facing Kayden with a mixed expression on his face.'Why wasn't I able to tell him what was going on?' he asked himself. 'Does it have something to do with this mark?'His gaze then fell upon the red mark on his arm. For a moment, nothing seemed too out of place about it at this point, but then, after looking away, his eyes went wide in shock as he looked back at the mark on his arm.'It changed!' he hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking at it for the second time, he couldn't help but admit that there was something different about the mark, abd remembering the sizzling pain he felt when he tried to tell Kayden the truth, he had a feeling that the change of the marking had something to do with it.'The last mark was meant to keep me from betraying the second years, but this one.

To Have An Ability
To Have An AbilityRunning through the hallway, Kayden couldn't help but admit that whatever was going on in the academy was strange. For one, everyone's memories had been changed, and after the system had confirmed that Marcus was the one responsible for it, he still wondered why he would go ahead and do such a thing.And also, how he was even strong enough to do something like that.The yellow scent in the air led him towards the abilities class. Swinging the door open, his eyes immediately locked on to Marcus. Without giving him time to react, he rushed forward, raising his hand to deliver a strike right to his face. Opening his eyes, Marcus was able to see the attack just in time as he moved to the side, avoiding the strike completely."Kayden! Wait! I've done it! I've changed everyone's memories back to normal!" Not knowing why Kayden had suddenly arrived and decided to attack him, Marcus couldn't think of anything else to say. However, now that he thought about it more, Kayden

Borrowed Power
One of the skills he had unlocked from completing a quest from not too long ago. It happened during the time of the inter-student competition, when a rogue Shale had crashed into the arena and started attacking everything in sight. The quest stated that he simply had to survive the encounter, and after doing just that, he had unlocked this skill.As easy as that quest was for him to complete, he now had a skill that would allow him track down just where Marcus was.'Still, I wonder, is all of this really his doing? Did he just decide one day that he would turn against us? But why?' his mind then drifted back to the first time he had attended the abilities class. He remembered when he first heard of Marcus's ability. At the time, he wondered why the academy would let someone with such a dangerous ability be a part of the classes.Following the yellow scent, he ran through multiple hallways. The closer he got, the stronger the scent and the yellow mist would get. After a while of runnin
