'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.
[You have slain a Tier-1 monster, C-rank Brutality Vulcra].[You have slain a Tier-1 monster, A-rank Brutality Vulcra].[Mission completed].[You have gained four Mana Credits, 4Tks][Mana Credits: 5Tks]. [You have gained three thousand Stat Points, 3000pts].[Stat Points: 8000pts]. [You have gained 5 Core Fragments]. [Core Fragments: 223/1000].-------------"Nice enough, I'm rich!" Keith shouted in excitement, his cheeks widening for a wide, cute smile. He kicked the dead A-rank Brutality Vulcra's head with an intense impact... "You motherfucker!" Rrrr! Vigo dashed out from nowhere, bouncing on Keith's body with soft touches. Staring at him, Keith teased:"I was a little disappointed, Viggy... But anyway, you did a great job there. Your distractions made them exhausted."Keith gave Vigo a thumb up, and turned around, observing the area. "I wish I could see a Tier-2 monster... I'll be the happiest mage in the world," he muttered. Keith was motivated after his victory against t
Keith's reaction...It wasn't a shock.It wasn't bewilderment. It wasn't anger... But... Happiness? Yeah, missed with his sudden widened eyes was a mix of happiness. Keith actually couldn't believe his eyes at the moment. His cheeks enlarged, forming a wide and amusing smile that almost made Skyla furious.But... The issue was that why was Keith happy instead of being sad and depressed after hearing what Skyla had said. The system had promised his death if anyone knew about it, and he had just discovered that Skyla already knew about it. Why smile? Why was he rejoicing in the face of extinction? It was ridiculous, though, but what if it wasn't at all?Keith hasn't told Skyla anything about the system before... She might have been seeing him acting strange lately, but Keith could swear that he hadn't mentioned the name of the system set since he met Skyla — Not even when he was alone in his chamber. With this in mind, Keith never panicked. And even if he had a slight bit of it, he d
"What?!" This word sounded uniformly in the office room of the Head Lord of Premier Territory. It was as though a gunshot had been heard from the distance, causing a dumbfounded reaction from the Blue Planet's greatest mages. The sovereign of the Blue Planet had just played a weak role, letting his fearful act rule over his emotions and decisions. Well, he had the final say, and everything he said was stamped... Keith only thought about how to convince this weak ruler before it got too late. "That... That's not good at all, Head Lord," Keith quickly commented while seeing everyone stunned. No one refused to say a word.It was certain that no one wanted to make the Head Lord angry at them. Sometimes, if one brings a suggestion that opposes the Head Lord's decision, it might end up being a huge problem. The Head Lord could punish whoever goes against his decisions. But regardless of what he might face as the consequences, Keith never hesitated to confront Lord Asher. Being punishe
"I made it... That was the only way I could help humanity, and you, my whole," Skyla said with a serious expression as he stared at Keith. "What?! You created the... "Keith didn't finish his statement and blinked his eyes in an instant. ---------------[Host, you are currently in the midst of my creator, The Dragon Goddess]. ---------------"Gosh! Why didn't you tell me this lately?!" Keith shouted in anger as he heard the words of the system. --------------[It was all planned, host. I follow my creator's orders. And absolutely, I made you choose her at the postings]. --------------Keith froze. Eyes widened, mouth opened."What the heck! Why?!" Keith questioned both the system and Skyla, staring at the Dragon Goddess with dilated eyes. "You don't have to be extremely surprised, Awakened Keith," Skyla placed her left hand on Keith's thigh, "You didn't have a core, so that was definitely why you were eligible to get the system."Skyla heaved a sigh and continued: "I created t
