Skyla froze, staring at Keith with a complicated countenance. Her inevitable sad face was suddenly replaced by a slight smile that made Keith quite amazed. Keith even wondered why the system voiced that the mission was complete when Skyla hadn't believed him yet. He was utterly dazed. And also, he just gained a hundred Core Fragments! 'That was huge?!' Keith thought, confused. Was this why he was asked to get a gorgeous female servant? To get much Core Fragments by spending time with her? Keith couldn't just make himself believe this. He was shocked and excited at the same time. However, Skyla's surprised gaze was still on him, so he had to skip his excitement for now. "W–what do you mean by that?" Skyla asked, still with that complicated look of hers. Keith heaved a sigh..."Yeah. I do know how bad you feel, and I want you to take me as someone who wouldn't hurt you. You are going to be my queen, not my servant," he said.Skyla felt her heart beating fast, it was as though she
Keith had noted his current mission already and had kept it aside for now. He wasn't really going to stress out on his first day as an Awakened will he?They entered the main triplex home, glancing around the whole area. Keith and Skyla could sense the magnificent aura of the luxurious home as they observed. All appliances and structures were all high-class leveled. In the building were twelve rooms, one training room, and an Awakened Chamber. Keith shrugged especially after seeing the Awakened Chamber in his home. Not all Awakened are given a Chamber in their homes. In fact, all Bronze and Silver-rank Awakened aren't given the privilege. Keith was utterly dumbfounded by seeing that he had one. "Who's the luckiest person in the world? Me!" Keith screamed in joy, jumping up as he thrust his arms forward with his fist being clutched. "What?" Skyla, surprised by Keith's sudden attitude, asked with a serious expression.Keith turned to look at her... This was nothing to do with the sy
[Unnamed monster name given].[Name: Vigo]. ------------------Actually, Keith didn't give the monster this name judging by its looks and attitude. He had long been wanting to give his "Assistant" this name. Why? Because that was the same name he gave his dog pet back at his younger age. Keith was utterly sad when he lost Vigo who died from a life-sucking plague. So, this was why he wanted the memory of stay, unerased. 'From today, you are my Vigo.' Keith muttered within. Staring at the weak chained monster, Keith observed its features. Actually, he had titled it as "He" right? The monster has dark skin, and short fangs together with his weak tiny claws attached. His head was hairless, though a thick black crown-like object was affixed on his oval-shaped head. He had the structure of an Ape. His short four limbs were about 86 meters long as a result of being a weak newborn monster. All in all, this monster was more like an Ape. But with the looks of it, the monster wasn't bad at
Keith stood still like a statue before the man who was standing behind the darkness conveyed by one of the trees in the fields. It was as though Keith was being threatened with a revolver or being pierced by a spear to a wall.Keith tried to inspect the area that Vigo had followed into the forest, trying to know if Vigo was still somewhere around. But to a slight relief, Keith didn't see Vigo anymore. Now, he only hoped that this Silver-rank Awakened hadn't witnessed the Assistant Creation.Soon, the man began approaching Keith slowly, pointing his palms in Keith's direction, maybe to shield himself if Keith dared to attack. Gradually, Keith's face became clear as he approached and suddenly, this once angered face became calm and apologetic."Huh?! It's you, Awakened Keith?" The man said with a friendly expression, trying to force out a smile from his face.Surprised, Keith wasted no time before nodding positively. "Yeah, it's me," he answered."I'm so sorry for the harsh approach. I
'What... The... F**k.'Keith's eyes widened in shock. He stood motionless in one spot, his face aimed in a different direction. His fist was tightly clenched, pressing against his palms.He couldn't believe his ears right now... He couldn't believe any of it! At first, he wondered if it was Skyla who had truly made that statement, but who else would have said that if not her? His thought was so ridiculous that Keith, himself, had to curse inwardly.'You jerk.'Before attempting to turn in her direction, the system just had to congratulate him for completing his mission since he had kissed her earlier, even though it wasn't a deep one. A kiss is a kiss, isn't it?------------------[Mission Completed].[You have gained 50 Core Fragments].[You gained an additional 5 Core Fragments for a quick mission completion. You completed these two missions in hours, nice move host].[Core Fragments: 218/1000].[You have gained 5000 Stat Points].[Stat Points: 5510pts].------------------Keith not
Their kissing session lasted for three minutes. Skyla wouldn't let go, and Keith was deeply enticed, his hands tightly holding her waist.Skyla closed her eyes, her hands resting on Keith's shoulders. She felt Keith's displaying romantic touch, making her slowly moan as though they were being intimate. However, Keith wasn't making any attempt to do that at all.They had been kissing for minutes, and Keith hadn't changed his stance nor moved his hands to any of her alluring body parts. He only kept kissing, though, the passion he had suddenly subsided, making her feel disappointed.The next moment, Keith had to let go of her waist. He tried to make her pull her body away from his, but Skyla held tightly, not wanting to let go.'Can you just let go, please!'Keith suddenly stopped holding her. He grabbed her shoulder and gave it a slight push, making her produce her usual slight and funny frown. She fixed her gaze on his shy yet tired face, blinking her lashes."What now, Keith?"Keith
Keith was standing in front of a mirror by the side of the room as he put on his dress, ready to begin his day.He wore a black lengthy shirt which was feebly connected to his plain trousers. The batch of his title as a Bronze-rank Awakened was fixed on his shirt's pocket, glowing boldly due to it being made of bronze.Upon dressing up, Keith recalled what happened last night. It wasn't about Skyla but about his skill. "I can't believe I slept off without knowing it," he muttered.Blinking his lashes, the system popped up in an instant, showing his new skill. --------------------[New skill: Strings of Thunder]. [Skill Description: You possess the capacity to create more than one thunderstring in one move]. ---------------------Keith's eyes lit up. "Huh?" Confused, he couldn't help but ask more questions. "What do you mean?" -------------------[Previous Skill: String of Thunder (a single string)]. [New Skill: Strings of thunder (more than one string)]. ------------------Kei
As the monsters charged forward, Keith and Vigo also approached them with speed. Keith summoned his Level 2 longsword on his way, and he slashed through the air, ready.*Rrrrrrrrr!*Vigo kept roaring at the top of his lungs, making this upcoming battle more interesting. He hit his claws together as he leaped forward, as though sharpening a knife.'Go harder, buddy.'Keith saw Vigo's act, and his only reaction was that motivational thought. Vigo was faster than him, and he wasn't too far from the terrifying Tier-1 again, while Keith was still about sixty minutes distant from them.But anyway, he was actually running with all his might and even getting exhausted.Keith hadn't eaten for a while now. Well, he didn't bother to because he didn't want to. The meal from the system canteen sustained him for long, though Keith's stomach was grieving now.Reducing his speed, tired, he muttered: "My attributes must have reduced by now. I have to fill up my gut before being killed by those things.
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
