PROLOGUEI already knew that my life was about to take a turn for the worse when I saw the headlines on today's broadcast.Year 2050Blossom City, South KoreaWORLD RECORD NEWS: Humanity discovered the ‘World’s weakest Mage in existence’Dexter Pembroke a grade E with 1 stat.I became popular all of a sudden, I was known to be the weakest among the weak, I became a laughingstock. An awakener who doesn't know his talent. And so I was given the nickname ‘The Talentless Awakener’ . I was no doubt at the bottom of the food chain and to top it all. I was super broke, having no parents to run to and was left with a little sister to care for.We exist in a world where Mages and monsters exist. However as bittered enemies, the monsters seek to eat our flesh meanwhile the Mage hunters kill them and make money from doing so.Mages and monsters had existed decades ago, Monsters came from another dimension through ‘Portal’. These portals released a surge of mana that spread throughout humanity, i
A pained gasp escaped his lips as a heavy kick landed squarely on Dexter's chest. Huddled in the middle of a group of boys, his arms had gone numb as they had been taking the full brunt of those hits. He had used them to block his face from attacks.“F**king peasant. Next time, you’d think twice before disgracing me in front of the whole school.” A voice spat out those spiteful words, and Dexter knew the owner of that voice.It was the man who haunted him for days.“Elliot. It’s enough. We have to leave here before anyone comes around.” A voice jolted Dexter back to reality. It belonged to Elliot's gang member.“I still want to beat him. In his next life, he would definitely know how to stay in his place.” Elliot grumbled.“You can do that later. Remember you have to meet up with Cassie.” Jordan said, trying to coerce Elliot into leaving. “That bitch? Well, let’s leave the weakling for now. We will see him tomorrow.” Elliot had no choice but to leave.Dexter's eyes were closed, and
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
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
