"Gosh! This system is crazy," Keith's complained.Somehow, Keith's happiness suddenly died off. The Immortal Mage System had ordered him to complete his current mission within two days, however, that only wiped out the giggles off his cheeks. Of course, killing ten Tier-0 monsters wasn't much of a deadly thing to do, but, the other mission was what quenched his urge to complete the mission.Keith was not in the power to order a servant of his choice... It was the duty of the territory's posting officials. So, if it turns out that his servant would be a boy or an old woman... Uh! That would be total shit.Though Keith didn't pray for such. With a sad mood and a confused countenance, Keith lay on his mattress. Jerks like him sleep not quite long after setting their backs on a mattress, so he slept off in a matter of seconds.******In a dark building clogged with the dreadful and cruel aura of some phantom-like creature, one of them, a stronger figure with the same physique sat on a
Before Keith could know it, Jake was already creating two fireballs from his palms. The others watched with confidence, believing that Jake was going to beat Keith to stupor. However, Keith only studied his moves and tried to create his own skills. String of thunder! There was no doubt that fireballs are 1-star skill so Keith was relieved because his current skill was the same as that of Jake. Though he didn't guarantee his win, he knew that he had an equal chance of winning just like Jake. Jake charged towards Keith with the whooshing fireballs on his palms. His speed was utterly incredible, though, it never stopped Keith from dodging the attack. Just as Keith dodged, he scowled and blinked his eyes. ——————————[Do you want to activate your skill: String of thunder?]. ——————————"Yes," Keith requested. ——————————[String of thunder activated]. ——————————Suddenly, lightning with a blue hue, like the structure of a tiny string, emerged from Keith's palm. It was thunder!Just a
Keith ignored the words of the system, however, he displayed his happiness in attaining his first Core Fragment inside of him. Yet, at the other phase of his mind were waves of shock and disappointment. The curious look on Sage's face gave him a clear concept that she had noticed something. After all, the path through this spot was straight and she could possibly see the fighting scene from afar. Keith was dazed. "He is an Awakened! He can create thunder!" Jake shouted with fear and ran away, leaving his friends behind. Keith attempted to chase after him, but Sage's stunning words made him halt his movement. "Why do you lie to me? You are able to awaken your talent but you kept it a secret, why?" Keith faced the other direction which Jake had taken, shocked and dumbfounded. He wanted this to be a secret until the Postings, but now that it had been licked, he wouldn't be able to cover it up. After all, he caused it. 'I should have fought a normal fight.'Keith hesitated'But he
"Well, I talk too much... I don't think I can adapt," Keith remarked and smiled. The Immortal Mage System was quite nosy in its own way and Keith could attest to it. At a point, he wondered if this was what the Supreme Warlord had encountered. But actually, he knew that the Supreme Warlord would have experienced even more. Literally, he already knew that there were more experiences to come. Keith blinked his eyes the moment he approached the entrance of the Menace Forest. Swiftly, the system obeyed.——————————[Do you want to activate weapon: Longsword?].——————————"Hell yes," Keith replied. ——————————[Lv1 Longsword activated?]. ——————————The longsword appeared on Keith's hand suddenly, making Keith smile in relief. Keith wondered why the system brought out the weapon section without his appeal. It had happened most times like this and Keith was only getting curious.Was it that the system knew his mind? Or was the system his mind now? Keith pondered for some moments, conte
Keith thought of turning back and running for his precious life, but he knew that that wasn't the right action to take at the moment. He knew that he wouldn't make many steps before being caught by the Critter. As Keith stared at the monster, his eyes widened in fear as it made more steps forward. Right now, the Critter was totally delighted to have found breakfast. The Critter has three heads attached with each having two eyes. One faced Keith directly, the other to the left, and the third facing the right side. Its long fangs and curvy sharp claws were enough to reveal that Keith was on a thin line between life and death.It possessed a dark wood-like body, short hands, and shanks of about a foot tall. Still glancing at the Critter, the Immortal Mage System popped up. ——————————[Name: Critter].[Race: Monster]. [Tier: 1].[Brutality: D]. [Remark: Cannot be killed with level 1 weapons]. ——————————Keith stared at the system screen with a confused countenance. "Monsters do ha
Keith staggered out of the Phantom Falls with his left hand placed on his chest. He was happy to have slain the fuckin Critter, but, the pain he felt didn't enrich his happiness. "Level 2 longsword deactivate," Keith ordered. Swiftly, the longsword he held in his right hand disappeared into thin air. 'I think it's time I purchase a spear. Killing monsters won't be that hard anymore...'Keith thought as he descended the hill of the Phantom Falls. At this moment, Keith felt weak... Sure, if even a Gold-rank Awakened was in his shoes, they would have felt exactly the same way he was feeling right now. Truthfully, his chest hurts so badly. His ass aches. 'There is no way I can kill five Tier-0 monsters today. I am gonna just die and face the impacts of foolishness in the heavens.' Keith thought as he leaped against a fallen tree by the forest pathway. However, the Immortal Mage System remembered him of something... ——————————[Host, do you want to purchase some healing portions fo
Keith heard the roars of a group of monsters from behind. It was much like a sound exhibited from an angry monkey, though, Keith hadn't seen an angry monkey before, but he guessed this was just the right explanation. A group of seven Tiger-fanged monkeys could be seen behind him, each staring at Keith as though they were looking at a prey. Of course, what would they have thought of? Monsters do sense the power level of a human... They can even detect one's talent when close to the person... It was certain that the Top-tier gods granted powers to every being they created... Actually, they couldn't just keep their powers to themselves. It was too much. Monsters are considered as Sensors, Specters are Dark Mages, Dark Orcs somehow retained the Spell Casters title, and humans, the "soon to be demolished race" of the multiverse, are known as Manipulators... They are users of all kinds of elements. Keith frowned as he stared at the Tier-0 monsters, his eyes exhibiting a sudden hue of
Keith was shocked at the moment. Without making any attempt to activate the newly mentioned Three Bolts Of The Heavens, he quickly stepped out of the Menace Forest... Luckily, he sighted an abandoned building not quite far from the entrance of the Menace Forest. This building was formerly used as an English and Chinese educational teaching hall back when the Blue Planet wasn't that enthralled by the tremendous benefits of talents. Heretofore, humans were highly interested in getting a Western Education in order to become literate in the modern sector and develop the Blue Planet's economy. However, since the threat and war with the Specters, no one was advised to learn Martial Arts in order to protect themselves.All of a sudden, no one wanted to be educated... Not because they didn't want to, but because they had to give it up. So, Western Education suddenly ended... Even the teachers themselves were now proudly Awakeneds. No one was ready to die. Keith strode quickly into the ab
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,
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
Keith had a strong iron fist pouncing on his lips, causing an excruciating pain in his mouth. It was as though a rock of about 200 pounds as suddenly fallen on his mouth, and he couldn't help but exclaim..."Arghh!"The pain he felt just couldn't be expressed with silence.The young man who seemed to be about nineteen to twenty years old was vibrating uncontrollably in anger. Even after launching that fierce punch in Keith's mouth, he wasn't still satisfied. With anger, he attempted to push Keith again, this time, he aimed for his chest, not minding if he could kill this young man. But thanks to Officer Oliver, before the angry young man could launch another punch, he held his hand and stopped him. However, what happened next actually shocked Keith and the officer. Instead of getting hold of the young man's hand, Officer Oliver was suddenly blown away due to the force of the punch. Although he managed to stop him from hitting Keith in the chest, he became the victim of the attack w
The video display that just appeared in mid-air stunned all the attackers, making them furrow their eyebrows in astonishment, some eyes broadened. In the video, a masculine figure clad in a black robe and covered in a hood cap could be seen entering the Head Lord's inner chamber. It was as if this man had a shadow ability, or perhaps, an ability that could make him invincible.No one noticed his presence in the fort, and even the main guards in the Head Lord's chamber couldn't even track his steps, even with their Observation Talents!It was quite unbelievable, and the attackers who were watching the display thought this was a total joke! "No way! That guard dressed like a knight is now a Gold-rank Presence Detector, there is no way he couldn't notice the presence of that guy!""Faked video! This isn't true!""Whoa, that guy must be a Platinum-rank Awakened already!""So this guy killed Lord Asher?! I promise you, I'll make you drink my pee before eating my sh*t to your grave!"Seve
"Err... Um... Uhh..."When Keith heard the question posed by the chief officer, he stammered horribly. Keith's level of shock and confusion was beyond words. He was clearly taken aback."Actually... Officer, I'm still a Bronze-rank Awakened." With eyes that looked like a chasm, Keith mustered the courage to speak. As the chief officer stared at him, he noticed the sense of astonishment and nervousness in Keith's eyes. Even if a six-year-old boy caught a glimpse of Keith's countenance at this moment, he would clearly notice the unease lurking around him.Although Keith knew that the two guards would have suspected him after his fierce attack against them, he just didn't expect that they would spread the news to someone else.Keith just didn't think much about these things because of his father's issue, and now that the Head Lord was dead, it could be an investigative factor.'Shit! I'm in trouble now.'Keith couldn't help but curse badly, slightly clenching his fist and teeth at the
For quite a moment, Keith's heart skipped. What was worse than being accused of what you didn't do? Keith couldn't believe his eyes. Now he noticed he was summoned to the Head Lord's fort just because he was the suspected killer."Why would I do that?! I'm not a murderer!" Keith shouted in anger and confusion, not believing what was happening to him. He just lost his father days ago, and now he had to face this? How miserable. He summoned the courage he needed and got to the Head Lord's fort after some minutes only to see countless Awakeneds. Among these Awakeneds were counter-crime officers, Armies, and Warlords. The vast expanse of the Head Lord's fort was enveloped in moans of grief. Actually, no one expected that the great Head Lord would die at this stage. It was unbelievable. Just like the sudden demise of the Supreme Warlord. Just as he stepped in, countless outrageous stares were cast on him. It was as though a Specter just ran into his enemy's court, and in the sligh
Somewhere in the Rotunda Fort compound, about twenty lives could be seen standing around a cleared area, all eyes on a lifeless figure below. After the death of Ryder Rotunda, the family gathered to put him to rest. Every other family member came to pay their last respect to him, except for his wife and daughter. Although that wasn't really a part of their worry right now, the fact that their inferiority effect was at work made them more depressed. Due to being a poor, useless man... No influential or wealthy individuals attended the small funeral of Ryder Rotunda. Of course, he wasn't a part of the Awakeneds, he was a Commoner.Even though Keith was an Awakened, his ongoing conflict with the Head Lord had made many of the Awakeneds relent from attending his father's funeral. Most of the Awakeneds thought he was trying to betray the people, they didn't have a vision of what he was doing for the people of the Blue Planet. They were clueless, however, only a few were wise enough to
Before reaching the Rotunda Family's fort, Keith bought some potions for the Lung Plague in one of the general markets in the White Province. The White Province was renowned for its best potions from medicine experts, so Keith preferred to get a cure for the Lung Plague from there.After purchasing some potions, he zoomed into the Eastern Territory in no time and arrived at the Rotunda Family's fort.Quickly, he entered the house and made his way to his father's room...Sage and the others were still there, and luckily, he didn't notice anything quite gut-wrenching when he glanced in the direction of his sick father.Awakened Keith Rotunda sighed."You got the medicine?" Skyla was the first to ask, fixing her gaze on Keith.Keith nodded positively, and seeing his response, everyone was really relieved. By looking at everyone's faces, Keith could feel it.He quickly approached his father and gave him some doses to take... At this moment, Ryder's sick state actually seemed to have gotte
"You had a bad idea trying to go against my orders, Awakened Keith," the Head Lord said, approaching Keith slowly."I never planned to confront your orders. My father's life is at stake, and if I don't get what I came here for, he is going to die," Keith said loudly yet politely, trying to convince the Head Lord. However, his clarification didn't seem to make any impression. The Head Lord was still as mad and serious as when he came out from his home."I don't care about what may happen to your commoner father. My orders must be obeyed no matter what!" Lord Asher said seriously. The harsh, dreading smirk on his face held a deep sense of rage, making Keith quite frightened.Upon hearing the Head Lord's cruel response, a thought flashed into Keith's mind.'Is he going to kill me?'The fact that the Head Lord had sent a blast of fireball capable of destroying a normal human made him believe his pondering. Visibly, Keith could sense an aura to kill around Lord Asher's presence."You just
