There in front of him was the girl he had been dreaming about, the girl he thought loved him. Selina stood with shock in her eyes, she had a towel around her body as she stared at Dexter.
“D… Dexter?” Selina couldn’t bring herself to find the right words.“What are you doing here Sel? Where is your dress?” Dexter stuttered, unable to think straight.Was this the reason she refused to visit or text him?Why were women so cruel?He couldn’t believe his eyes.Dexter removed his glasses, and wiped them with his shirt, before wearing them back.His shoulders fell when he realized that the problem was not the glasses but the actual girl was standing in front of him.Dexter was full of disgust as he stared at her.As that sickening thought passed through his mind, a man appeared behind Selina, and grabbed her by the waist before drawing her closer to his body.“What’s going on Bae? Why are you taking so long? Do you know him?” The young man said with eyes scanning every part of Dexter's body.“No. I really don’t know him or what he is talking about?” Selina denied Dexter in his own front and his jaw slackened.“What the heck is wrong with you Selina? And you, She is my girlfriend. How do you feel with your hands on another man’s girl?” Dexter clenched his fists as he glared at the man.The man was stunned for a while, then he burst into a deep laughter.“Oh, I know you. You're the world weakest Mage, the Talentless Awakener and also that smarty that stepped on Elliot’s toe. It seems you still haven’t learnt how to know your place?” The young man’s eyes heard a dangerous glint as his voice dropped to a low note. The man was a human and Dexter was a Mage, it was normal for the man to be terrified standing in the front of a Mage, due to them having magical powers.But who would want to be scared of a 1 stat grade E Mage? He was just slightly above a human, or maybe even weaker."The football captain. Are you serious, Selina? He's using you." Dexter cried in annoyance. "Hold it Dexter. At least he is paying me, and doing it well. What have you ever given me? Would you just keep doing my homework throughout my life? Get a life Dexter. You should focus on how to awaken your Talent and help your sick sister." Selina snapped in frustration.Dexter felt her sharp words pierced through his chest.“I can’t believe you had such a sexy girl and you let her remain a virgin.”Tyler was full of joy as he rubbed his satisfying victory in Dexter’s face. Dexter clenched his fist tightly and his palm became white."Is this why you let him do this to you, Selina? Because of money?" Dexter said in shock.Money! That was the only thing they could ever care about."I have everything you could never dream of having. I have money, fame, and the top business man as my father. Everyone knows you are just an orphan, a grade E Mage who has never awakened his talent." Tyler grinned with pride.Dexter’s anger and pain reached its peak.He didn’t know his hand was raised, and he punched Tyler straight in his face causing the boy’s head to jerk backwards as he fell to the floor.“You f**king son of a…”Tyler held his nose that was bleeding profusely as he glared at Dexter. He was surprised Dexter could enforce such a powerful blow, but it was only explainable for him being a Mage, whether low stats or not.Dexter threw the package on Tyler's body, and turned to Selina."I hope you are happy." Dexter spoke, dejection leaking out of his voice.Selina felt a sting in her heart as she watched Dexter leave. She couldn't take back her words."I'm sorry, Tyler." Selina said while she helped Tyler up."Shut up! Who the heck was that?" Tyler growled, rubbing his swollen nose.That hit was too powerful."My ex." Selina murmured. She had to cut her relationship with Dexter to avoid stepping on Tyler's toes."Good. I'll kill him." Tyler picked his phone and turned around.Selina had no choice than to stare. Dexter had brought it on himself."Hello guys, I want you to kill Dexter Ace. He just left the Sterling Hotel." Tyler ordered into the phone.Without waiting for a reply, he cut the line, and dragged Selina into the room with him."You stupid ex is going to regret crossing my path." He uttered with disdain.Dexter kicked stones as he made his home, he didn’t understand how the world could be so cruel, and it was painful. Not only was he a weak mage but also had a lot of medical issues, he needed glasses to see properly, he always relied on his inhaler to remain alive and he was too skinny to do difficult jobs.Sometimes he asked the heavens why he was even given a Talent which he could never harness. Talents are rare skills which only one third of humanity has and it was used to keep the city safe from monsters, but this was as useless as a wasted sperm.He had almost reached his home when he was suddenly cornered by four bulky men.“Is this him?” One of them uttered as he looked at his friend.“Yeah, he fits into the description."“W…What’s going on?” Dexter said as he looked at them.They turned their heads to look at him. “You pissed off someone you shouldn’t have. We are here to teach you a lesson.” One of the men gave him a scary smile, as he projected out a fire from his palm.“A
Dexter came down from the taxi, he rushed inside their house.“Ava! Ava?”He approached the sitting room and found Ava on her wheelchair watching a TV and a large bucket of snack in her hands as she scooped the popcorn with her hands and shovel it directly to her mouth.“Dexter? Your back” she muffled.“You're okay.” Dexter was relieved.“Yes I am, all thanks to Henry” she said as Henry walked out from the kitchen with a bowl of food.“Henry?” Dexter was shocked. Henry was his best friend, they met during his time in the Mage hunting academy, although Henry is now a successful Mage hunter and a grade B fire mage hunter.“Where the hell have you been Dexter?” Henry asked with concern and anger.“I'm so sorry man, I… I attended to something important” Dexter cooked up a lie. He would only look stupid if he told them exactly what happened to him.“More important than Ava?” Henry gestured at the 14 years old girl who was more focused on her snack.“Damn”Dexter then walked up to his litt
[Congratulations - 1 kill][Mission - 1/10][Mission status - incomplete][HP: 36][First kill bonus: instant healing+5 MP +10 HP]‘Mp? The system just gave me 5 mana points, now this is interesting, I've never experienced having a mana in my entire life, which only meant one thing. I can access my talent now. But why's my talent still showing 0? Maybe I'll have to complete the mission?. There's only one way to find out.’ Dexter thought to himself, just then his wounds began to heal themselves, within a fraction of a second, and he could feel himself stronger.He then noticed that everyone was staring at him and Ava jaw dropped, she was more surprised how Dexter could kill a monster.“He's a Mage”“Yes I know him, he's the popular grade E Mage”“Yes the weakest Mage in the whole world”“But how can a grade E Mage kill a monster who was likely to be no lesser than a grade D or even C with just a rock”“Has he leveled up?”“Maybe he has level up”The whispers could be heard. Dexter how
The portal from the sky made a large roar as a very large creature flew from it. It's the ‘Dungeon Lock's dungeon Locks are the final monsters in a dungeon and once it's killed the portal will automatically close, which is why it was given the name.“The dungeon lock!”“Get out of here Dexter this thing is much stronger than you can think of” Henry informed.Immediately he told Dexter the Imperial guild arrived.“Henry! Are you okay?” Charlotte asked running to his side, then spotted Dexter sitting on the floor with blood all over him.“You're not supposed to be here, civilian , get back!” She instructed Dexter.“Wait, he's also an Awakener, but not a hunter,” Henry said.“What?” She then paid more attention to Dexter and immediately recognized him, Dexter was a little bit popular in the Mage hunting category, due to his stat.“Isn't he…the Talentless Awakener?” She asked but they were interrupted by the roar of the monster. It was a very large Wyvern. Wyverns are large, flying crea
[Transporting Player to penalty zone][Transportation complete]Dexter found himself in a fully equipped gym, everything was set and ready for him.“Cool” Dexter walked around the gym examining everything, all the equipment was the same as what was in the modern world. He then removed his shirt waiting for the system to give him the task.[Penalty tasks][Push-ups - 0/100][Squats - 0/100][Crunches - 0/100][jogging - 0/100km][Pull ups- 0/100][Players must complete the training before 24 hours in the Core time. Penalties - Player will remain in the core for ten years]“All this is too much for a newbie, I have never done such training in the gym before.” Dexter complained, but there was no response, only a blue screen staring at him. If there was a way to escape all these impossible looking training Dexter would have done that. Even though the penalty was too risky, a penalty of a penalty task, staying ten years in that dark and lonely space would result in a brain tumor. He had to
Dexter used all his might to struggle in the grip of the monster, suddenly he opened the pathway in his body to allow his talent to flow.[Skill unlocked: Raging thunder (E-)][Proficiency: 0%][Capabilities: a powerful lightening outburst that generate a concussion force that results to a shockwave and a powerful lightning discharge][Damage effect: 12%][Skill summons upon calling its name]‘Perfect timing’“Raging thunder!”*Kaboom!*A powerful lightning disrupted Dexter's body, exploding in an instant and a concussion force was made to shatter the arm of the golem and Dexter was set free. He fell down and landed on his feet.“The system didn't send me here unarmed afterall” he grinned.[MP - 5]‘damn, my mp was ten, that means that skill drained half of my mp, then I can only use it one more time’[Time left: 00:03:13]‘Three minutes left, I just need to survive a little bit longer, either I keep running or I find a way to kill this thing’Dexter then noticed the golem was regener
[Penalty for failure - Death]“Clear the dungeon? Sounds dangerous”Dexter then entered the portal as he appeared in a large tunnel like cave.[Player arrived at the ‘Hellhound Dungeon’][Dungeon type - grade D+][Tasks- Clear the dungeon, kill all hellhounds][Time left - 1 day]“What!!”Hellhounds are like a senior version of Kobolds. They are supernatural monsters connected to hell, and mostly considered an omen of death. Their attributes include black or gray fur, glowing flamy-red eyes, they have supernatural strength and speed twice that of the Kobold, their bite force is strong enough to crush a diamond.Dexter stared at the tunnel waiting for him to walk through it, he could smell the foul odor, the more he walked inside the almost completely dark tunnel he saw blood splashed at all corners and he almost threw up from the strong odor.Just then he saw glowing flamy-red eyes staring at him, and the growling sound of the monster.“A hellhound!” His legs trembled as though he had
[50 seconds left for the skill ‘Voidstrike’]“Damn, I have to be fast before the time expires. But this monsters seems infinite in number”‘I know what, I'll draw all of them in one position then use the Raging thunder to eliminate them all in a single strike. Hope this plan works’Dexter avoided their attacks as much as he could, and mutilated the ones in his front as he ran on the edge of the dungeon heading deeper into where they were more hellhounds.Dexter successfully reached the wall end of the dungeon where they were at more than 50 hellhounds in total.[10 seconds left for the skill 'Voidstrike’]“Let's make good use of the last seconds of the skill”Mercilessly he was under a deadly strike, slashing the monsters in half, like slicing a candle wax with a sharp blade, he was almost invincible.[Skill expired. Cool down time - 1 hour]“Now is the perfect time”Dexter remained in the middle of the monsters, waiting for all of them to come really close to him, but he was careful
