Keith was quiet and didn't say a word to the detection officer. Of course, he knew that not everyone in the Blue Planet attended the Postings, but at least the news should have been spreading, right?The detection officer stole confused glances at Keith, his face blank and cold. He was actually the detection officer who detected Keith's talent several months ago and clearly saw that he had no talent, now he was accused of killing the Head Lord? 'How?!'"Can we just begin the detection, please?" Brendon said from behind, his face still red and fierce. "As you wish, young master," the detection officer turned to Keith, "Come forward, young man."Keith let out a mute sigh and walked further to reach the talent detection machine by a meter gap. The talent detection machine looked exactly like a CPU device which had a screen on the surface. Close to the screen at the extreme bottom of the machine's surface, two fingerprint sensors could be seen. The screen covered all surface areas exce
Punch back?No, Keith wouldn't dare to punch back.He was just getting ruled by his anger on the inside. If he did, well, he would be getting himself into another trouble.They decided to begin the mission the next day and let Keith go... Keith who hadn't eaten for a couple of days was suffering from stomach ache. He only tried to endure and rode to his fort as soon as possible.On reaching his fort, Keith saw Skyla coming out of the house dressed as if she was about to go out. She was in haste, and her appearance made Keith freeze."Oh, my king... I was about to come to the Head Lord's fort," Skyla said with a relaxed smile as she saw Keith. "It's fine now, they found out that I'm innocent," Keith said casually, giving a nod. "Of course they will. I showed the accused the murderer. Although many doubted, some still believed," Skyla said and walked close. "What do you mean? You know who killed Lord Asher?" Keith's brows furrowed in shock. He was trying so hard not to believe this,
Zenith municipal, capital city of Premier Territory. "Detect 432, come forward," a middle-aged man's voice could be heard in the crowded hall of Zenith City. A lengthy queue was formed before him. Before long, Detect 432 who was seen to be Keith Rotunda stepped forward without hesitation. His face showed a clear hint of fear as he approached a duo standing in front of the Talent Detection Machine. Today was the Talent Detection Day and every human at the age of eighteen was summoned to Premier Territory's capital city for talent detection since it was discovered that every single person in the Blue Planet awakens their talent at that age. Keith had waited for this day to come, training day and night just to help his core disclose his talent to his body. Today, Keith only hoped not to be Talentless. "Place your palms on the palm prints," the middle-aged man, a Silver-rank Awakened ordered. Keith quickly placed his palms on the palm prints after heaving a soft sigh. A particul
"What do you mean by that? No one can help out in this kind of situation," Keith rejected. The old man turned to look at him, his face slightly scowled. "That's a huge falsehood, the Lords had to lie to the people just to make sure that there would be Commoners among the humans. No one is unable to awaken their talent. It's just that they might be different methods," the old man said. "What methods? The Sacred Scripture mentioned only one method of Awakening, which is the Natural Awakening," Keith said. "Tsk! Are you being fooled by that piece of trash?" The old man said in anger. "The so-called Sacred Scripture is nothing but a bundle of lies. They aren't written by the Saints but the cruel Lords who want the world to themselves." Keith's sadness was suddenly replaced by a serious, pessimistic expression. His doubts about the words of the old Silver-rank Awakened only got higher. This time, his usual hatred for old people began to display itself. "What do you mean? How is th
Keith woke up after some hours of deep slumber. Regardless of the pain he felt at the back of his head, Keith still struggled to sit up. He was shocked and confused at the same time. Not because of the unsuccessful Artificial Awakening Ritual that had taken place, but because of what suddenly sounded within him after he had blacked out. 'It was congratulating me for attaining a... Gosh! I can't recall it,' Keith thought, disappointed. He finally opened his eyes widely to look at the figures standing not quite far from where he had laid. It was the Gold-rank alchemist and the Silver-rank Awakened. Though Keith hasn't come to discover the old man's talent yet. As the two figures noticed that Keith was awake, they approached him with a jog. They were putting on an anxious look, with a hint of pity and disappointment. All in all, Keith knew that everything was not okay. Of course, he had expected that. He hasn't doubted for once that the Rotunda Clan was cursed by the heavens. "Yo
"Wait... Did it just say it can grant me countless talents?" Keith asked himself, his cheeks began to enlarge. "Yes!" Keith shouted, swinging his arms with his fist clenched. "Yes! I can awaken my talent if I kill three Tier-0 monsters. Awesome!"'Now, I can wipe off the shame of inferiority and weakness from my clan. But that's only if I kill three Tier-0 monsters. Hmmm.' Keith thought for a while. Though he was delighted and relieved, but the requirement for his Talent Awakening made him a bit nervous. However, Keith wasn't going to let this opportunity go by. Tier-0 monsters might be the weakest among the others, but still, a single one of them could take down a whole village without stress. Monsters were known as extremely dangerous creatures that suddenly appeared from nowhere. At first, they were considered as Demons who were being sent by Dark Orcs into the Blue Planet. But later on, the humans discovered that these monsters were only created from the heavens. The Top-tier
"What?!" Keith screamed in surprise. "That can't be possible... The Supreme Warlord is..." Keith paused after noticing that he was about to say what wasn't true. Sage hesitated a bit and said with that same fearful and serious expression she approached Keith with:"Even though the Supreme Warlord isn't immortal, he is strong enough to defeat death when it comes... This is so unbelievable.""Only immortals can defeat death, stop saying shit, Sage. He must have been murdered or something. Or maybe he was suffering from life-sucking plague," Keith said. Regardless of the unrest and shouts all over the city, Keith was calm and collected. Sage was surprised about this, but she decided to omit his act. Right now, she only wants to go home and shut down all the clan's building doors to ensure her safety and survival of the chaos that might befall the Blue Planet.The Supreme Warlord was the only hope of the humans when it comes to war and safety. He ended the war between the Specters with
ROAR! The Wild Boar jumped high enough to reach Keith's height, pointing its sharp curved claws towards his face. Its blade-like teeth were aimed at Keith's neck with its stumpy legs almost grabbing on Keith's waist to cause him a fall. But before that could occur, Keith was wise enough to dodge the attack. He shifted backward and moved left, swinging the sword towards the face of the monster. He aimed to pull out one of its dark vibrant eyes and decapitate its limbs, but, Keith came to discover that it wasn't possible for a Wild Boar. Wild Boars are the strongest Tier-0 monsters who could sometimes be mistaken for a Tier-1 monster because of its brutal and destructive attacks. It was quite hard for Keith to defeat the terrible creature, but that doesn't mean that he could not kill it. Defeat and kill were two different things for Keith. "If I can't defeat it, I can kill it." The monster pounced on Keith after some moments, trying hard to devour Keith's flesh. However, the f
