"Apocalypse?!" Keith questioned in surprise as the system said those words... He was on the verge of suffocating at that instant, his eyes getting blurry. His was ruled by his sad emotions, the recollection of seeing his beloved die without him offering any help. Keith was utterly frightened where he stood as he couldn't hold his stance anymore, falling onto the solid substance he had stood on. "Tell me! What does this mean?" Keith asked the system with a fearful yet serious expression. ----------------[First Bolt: Apocalypse]. [Description: This is a situation whereby the world would be shaken to its core... Grounds would tremble, lives would be lost, buildings would fall flat, and all cores would be extracted. This is the first intention of the Top-tier Gods to wipe off humanity, thus, there is no way this can be stopped from happening]. [Host, this will surely happen, I repeat]. ----------------"Hell no! There is no way that would happen, not when I'm alive..."Keith assur
"Not again," Keith reacted with a furious expression, his anger was suddenly replaced by a serious, distasteful reaction to the words of the system. "I'm no fool, but I'm not a bad fellow either," Keith said after a sigh. "I don't like gals."The system, as usual, wouldn't talk too much. It was quiet and calm as Keith decided to walk out of the old building. Keith pondered about this as he made his way through the exit... The rest of the orders weren't that hard to do since he hadn't ever failed a mission not to stop getting Core Fragments even though it was quite hard and rare. Not even staying away from Awakeneds was a big deal since he had hated most of them already. So, only the "Love Ladies" of a thing could make things hard. However, Keith tried to switch his attention when he finally stepped out of the building. It was dusk already.Though Keith wasn't shocked seeing the moment of the day, all he wanted to do was to go home and sink his head under the pillow. "Worst day o
Keith entered the Rotunda Clan's fort through the rusty gate and quickly made his way into his room. He heaved a soft sigh now that he was home after a tough day. Now, he wasn't occupied enough to check his stats. -------------------[Name: Keith Rotunda]. [Race: Human]. [Age: 18/200]. [Talent: Thunder Manipulation]. [Rank: Bronze]. [Skill: String of thunder].

Surprisingly, as Keith walked, he caught a glimpse of an astonishing scene. Glancing into the family
The impact of the dazzling question Sage had asked hit Keith like a thunderbolt. With a stunned look, Keith grabbed on the mattress, clenching his fist.Sage was curious, her face slightly frowned and she raised her brows to notify him that she was still wanting to hear a word from him.The Immortal Mage System had promised to rank up Keith's talent if he kept completing missions, and Keith knew that if he told Sage that he was a Bronze-rank Awakened now, it might be quite astonishing when she sees him as a Silver-rank Awakened someday.Seeing how bad things might be, Keith couldn't help but curse inwardly."God Dammit!"However, Sage wasn't patient enough to endure his silence. "What's with the silence chap? Is this an unanswerable question or some kind of meaningless inquiry? What the hell is wrong with you, bro?!Sage bellowed. Her expression was mixed with both anger and distaste as he stared at Keith's faint eyeballs which were currently suffering from sleep deficiency. "Must it
Keith's brothers froze the moment this happened. After not believing what had happened earlier at the teleport station, they couldn't believe that Keith was now the bully against someone who they knew had bullied and ambushed him countless times. Even those who witnessed Keith's misery on the Talent Detection Day also couldn't believe that Keith was this calm and excited even though he knew that he was going to end up being a servant, or perhaps, a laborer. However, though, there was no way that was happening. Sage could feel the flow as she observed Keith's excitement. At the same time, a slight smile was produced from her moist cheek. Today, when all will expect to see the Rotunda Family sob in shame, a different thing that causes everyone in the Blue Planet to tremble from their seats would occur. Truth be told, Sage was so happy that she couldn't wait for the Postings to start... But, anyway, at the same time, she was kind of sad. Why? Because she was not an exception to those
Seeing the looks of stupefaction on everyone's faces, Keith produced a bitter smile. At a point, he heard murmurs all around. And in the content of these murmuring sounds were teases and distasteful words. 'What now huh?' Keith questioned in his thoughts. Right at the entrance of the hall, Keith sighted his father and Sage's father as they stepped in. While entering the building, their first gaze was fixed on the performance background which seemed to be the main picture at the moment. Just then, his father, Ryder, froze when he saw him standing in the New Awakened group. "What... The... F**k is he doing there." Ryder's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes. Even Max and the other bros were utterly dumbfounded, and this made the whole crowd confused.Was it that they didn't know he awakened his talent? Or did he really awaken his talent? This was thoughts from those who weren't present at the Talent Detection. But to those who were, they already took Keith as a madm
Keith felt his heart beating hard in his chest, the shouts from the crowd were something that could make him tremble already. He immediately glanced at his loved ones who had stood up from where they sat just like every other person. Ryder's usual faint eyes became bloodshot all of a sudden as he peeked through the distance, his heart beating hard. A tear rushed down from Sage's right eye as she smiled... And even the other boys were also delighted to see their last hope become an Awakened. The most exciting part was that he had awakened a talent that had long been forgotten for decades. Even the Supreme Warlord only awakened a Fire Manipulating talent...Right now, it was as though a stir had been caused.Trying not to let his emotions rule over him, Keith walked back to where he had stood lately. The Thunder Manipulators group with only him as a member.'I truly made everyone go crazy. What a memorable event... Thank you Immortal Mage System!' Keith spoke inwardly with a relieved
Hearing this, a smile was forced out of Keith's face. Yeah, only Awakeneds with higher talent ranks are likely to be posted around Premier Territory. The strongest enjoy more while the weaker Awakeneds feel what the other territories bring. However, seeing that he, who is a complete Bronze-rank Awakened is being posted in the prominent city of Premier Territory, The White Province, Keith was on the mountaintop top of happiness.Plus, he also gained fifty Core Fragments at a time after completing the mission. Keith knew how hard he had to work to get a single core fragment. Even his victory against the D-rank Brutality Critter didn't give him up to even ten core fragments. Right now, he couldn't really believe his eyes. Nonetheless, that couldn't just stop him from being excited.Walking back to the performance background with his servant following suit behind, Keith pondered on how to begin his journey. These days, Keith hadn't been able to use his talent to hunt monsters just to
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
