"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. However, right after he had explained what
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
A VisionHikari was ready to improve his abilities even further. As an ancient spirit, even before his death years ago, he was a powerful entity with power that rivalled the strongest people on Earth. However, now, combined with the ability of this teenage boy, he figured out how to use the boy's power as well, in ways that Marcus had never even thought of."Come at me, old man!" He yelled, rushing forward with his hands covered in the strange once again. Upon getting closer, he swing his fist out, hoping to hit his target, however, the mayor was able to move out of the way, dodging the attack as he quickly went to deliver a strike of his own.Activating his gravity power, he was able to put Hikari in a direct situation once again. However, after unleashing more of his power, he was able to break free, before channelling a different power with his right hand. While his left hand was still covered by the blue mist, his right hand was covered in a dark red aura that seemed to pulsate co
"I placed all my bets on you, Silver Fang! You better not loose this fight!" a man yelled from the crowd, shaking his fist. "I'll f*cking kill you if you loose all my money!" heaving out a sigh, he sat down, holding his face in his palm. "I hope I didn't make the wrong choice in betting on you..." he muttered under his breath, his eyes trailing towards the fighter in the ring.'Geez... no one asked you to bet on me!' Kayden shouted internally, dodging a hit from his opponent. 'I won't owe you shit if I loose! Not like I plan on losing, anyway. This guy's tough, but I still have a trick up my sleeve!'Creating distance between him and his opponent, he began to concentrate. Feeling the red energy flowing through his veins, he proceeded to channel the energy, circulating it through out his body. The red energy energized and re-enforced his cells, but that wasn't all that happened. Right there and then, his body began to change.His pupils grew long and narrow. Furr coated his skin. His
Mankind had always been an innovative race, and with the discovery of abilities, many things had changed. Abilities made one capable of doing things once thought off as impossible. Some referred to it as magic. Others saw it as a curse and sought to eradicate it.Abilities not only granted one superpowers, but also improved one's physical prowess. Meaning, a person with an ability was naturally stronger than someone without one.However, neither contestants were powerless. While one was doing everything he could to win, the other was thinking of trying something else.Kayden was completely surrounded. He couldn't focus his attention in one direction. He would be leaving his backside exposed to attacks which would make it harder for him to deal with the actual target."Hope I don't get dizzy!" he said as he began to spin his body. With his Werewolf speed and stamina, he was able to slash at the attacks coming towards him. Although he knew he couldn't keep this up forever, neither could
'This guy is a lot tougher than I thought he'd be!' his opponent thought, curling his fists. With his ability, he could control the earth, making it crumble under his opponent."Boulder class... I never liked this class," Kayden thought, quickly moving to the sides, trying to avoid the unstable parts of the ring."Still, it seems like all he can do is make the ground crumble. I haven't seen him move rocks around. So if I'm right, this is all his ability can do. As long as I don't loose my balance, then I should be fine. Plus, I don't know the depth of the arena his ability affects."He lept into the air, stretching his body wide while barring his claws. If this worked, then he could quickly finish off his opponent, while covering the distance without having to deal with most of the area affected by the ability. As soon as he was close enough, he swiped his claw. However, his opponent seemed ready for this, as he managed to grab the claw mid-swing. Kayden's elongated claws were mere
As his eyes slowly opened, the first thing he did was take a look at his surrounding. From the smell of disinfectant and the constant beeping sound, Kayden knew where he was."So I lost that match..." he muttered to himself. Although he wasn't too sad about it since he still had one more day to made up the remainder of the money he needed. He was just sad about the fact that he had lost.A little while later, and a nurse had arrived to do a check-up. After confirming that he was alright, he was then discharged and allowed to go back home.A little something that ability users have that others don't is super healing. Although this comes in the form of an ability itself, all ability users naturally have a faster healing rate. Meaning that all the injuries and burns he had incurred from the fight would quickly heal. This would take up Mana to do.He still had a low amount of Mana. Kayden decided to call it a night and head back home. However, he couldn't sleep well that night. Ever since
The paramedics had arrived to take away the loser to receive medical treatment since he was in a severe condition. Kayden didn't require medical attention since he was still conscious and able to walk. Plus, he naturally had better healing since he had an ability.He already had more than enough money to pay the people who had kidnapped his cousin. He had decided that that would be his only fight for the night. He was also running low on Mana.As he was about to leave, he heard a loud shriek coming from the crowd. The people began to run in all sorts of directions. The place was in chaos. Men wearing dark black clothing began to appear as the terrorized the people, sending everyone into a state of panic. Using their weapons, they rained terrier upon whomever was in their path, while blocking all the exits."I told you you didn't have to worry about the arrangements," a man said, stepping forward. He held a cigarette in-between his fingers and casually smoked it as he sauntered his way

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
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
"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,
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. This one must pre
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
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
