The morning came and Alex woke up feeling excited and full of anticipation. Today would be his first time going for classes and the thoughts of what he would learn made every atom of him excited.
It was a Monday morning and Alex had woken up before the others. He wore his neatly ironed deep blue and white uniform as he sat on his bed with a smile tugging at his lips."Wake up sleepy heads, it's 30 minutes to 7 am!" Alex suddenly shouted. Zach and Tom scrabbled out of bed not knowing what was happening."What the hell was that for?" Zach said annoyed that someone interrupted his lovely sleep."It's just 6:31, we still have like over an hour before it's time for classes," Tom said after checking the time and soon after yawned while rubbing his eyes."Have you forgotten that we have to go to the canteen before classes and also, this is my first time attending a class, but I think getting the right seat is i

Alex took in a deep breath, his expression turning cold as he slipped his right hand into his pocket. Now his bracelet was hidden in his pocket, no one would know he had a very low ability level, well, apart from those who took the test with him. He walked towards the boy and stood in front of him. The boy feeling the shadow cast over him, turned to Alex with a questioning look. "What is it?" He asked. "You are on my seat." The boy looked at the desk-like seat meant for just one person and then looked at Alex. The person in front of him looked strong and imposing, he couldn't see their ability level, also with the hilt of the blade sticking from one side of his shoulder, Alex currently looked like someone he wouldn't want to mess with. The other students were already paying the little commotion some level of attention. From the outside perspective, it seemed like Alex was a bully who was using his strength to take the seat of the boy so he could shoot his shot at the violet-haired

The walk to the office building was a long one. Alex found himself trying to keep up with Instructor Irene. Although it didn't seem like she was walking fast, it was clear their pace was different as the distance between them kept increasing.'Huff...still, that was better than getting beat up.' Alex thought to himself as he approached the first designated homeroom building. Several students flowed in and out of its entrance. It was risky going back to the classroom, which is why he wasn't actually going to his homeroom class, he was heading for a different staircase that led to the roof of the building.As he was about to enter the entrance, he came to an abrupt stop. His heartbeat slowed to a crawl, a troubled expression appearing on his face with subtle hints of anger he tried to suppress.In front of him was the lone figure of Tang. He appeared surprised at first but then smiled with the corner of his mouth."Look who is alive. Honestly, I'm happy you made it out alive." Tang said

[New Quest received.][Defeat your opponent and win the spar.][Reward: 200EXP]Alex stared at the system screen that suddenly popped up, it took him a minute before he had an inkling of what was happening.'A quest? I remember the system saying that I'd get Experience from winning fights...this is it?' Alex thought to himself, then another thought crept into his heart. 'So many people would be after me for my ring if I manage to defeat them, I'd get Experience which in turn will make me stronger!'A smile appeared on his face but was immediately blown away, quite literally. Zelah had attacked with a punch that connected with the side of Alex's face making his head fling sideways.[-1HP]Alex took a heavy step backward and wiped the small trickle of blood from his lips. When he regained his bearing, he could see another punch aimed at his abdomen. He quickly side-stepped avoiding the punch and held onto Zelah's hand and pulled her forward with his elbow in the trajectory of the sudde

After Alex agreed and handed over the things the old lady requested, she helped him understand the layout of the vast library. Each stand had a number and an alphabet that all the books in that stand started with.For instance, a stand that had the alphabet ‘T’ on it. It meant that all the books in that stand started with the letter T. Which was where Alex located the book titled ‘The History Of Earth: The Reformation’Alex began reading the book which was as big as his biceps. He didn’t know what to expect from it, he didn’t know what or who Earth was. But immediately he started reading, he discovered that Earth was not a person, it was a planet. To someone who thought the world revolved around his small town, it was a shocking discovery.He continued reading.A century ago, a strange phenomenon occurred on planet Earth. The planet quaked and trembled as it observed a metamorphosis that flipped the knowledge of mankind on its head. Earth was in shambles on the verge of destruction.
Journey To The Peak Chapter 1: The Awakening
In a small town situated in the Lurora Empire, some of its inhabitants were gathered at the Town square. It was that time of the year when those at or above the age of 15 were to be tested for their awoken ability. This test occurs throughout the planet of Clodia. If the planets were to be grouped according to size, planet Clodia would be a medium-sized planet. It was neither big nor small and was under the control of the Lurora Empire. Among the people present was a boy with short black hair having some streaks of red. His eyes were coloured light green and his facial appearance was that of a handsome teenager. "Are you nervous, Alex?" Amaya, the boy's Mom spoke tenderly, her green eyes looking at Alex with affection. Her hair was silk black and was packed into a ponytail, elegantly displaying her beautiful visage that looked like that of a fairytale Queen. "Of course he's okay, he's a man. It's just a stupid test." Alex's Dad said, unlike his wife, he was not the slightest b
Journey To The Peak Chapter 2: Confused
The purpose of the ability test was to know the name and type of ability a person has and also its grade. In the world of Clodia abilities are categorised into Elemental, Physical, Energy, Sensory, and Miscellaneous types. Water manipulation, enhanced strength, energy blasts, enhanced hearing, and telepathy. These are various abilities in the five categories respectively. Just like abilities were graded, weapons were also graded based on the materials and skill used in creating them. Black grade, Azure grade, Bronze grade, Silver grade, Gold grade, Pure grade, and Transcendent grade are the various grades with Black being the lowest and Pure being the highest. Alex and his parents returned home after he came with the test result. They were informed that the Academy Selections would be happening in a week, so those interested had only a week to get ready. ~Back then, at the Town square~ When Alex returned to meet with his parents, he handed the paper to them. He had refraine

Alex paused mid-swing and turned around to face his Dad who was about 20 metres away from him. "Okay okay, truly, I am serious about what I said. It is indeed about your ability." Lucius said as he saw the questioning look his son was giving him. He went over to Alex and placed both of his hands on each of Alex's shoulders and stared into his eyes. Lucius could see the light and expectation in them which made him smile. He then sat down on the grassy field and gestured for Alex to do the same. When both of them were seated and relaxed, Lucius began to speak. "For an ability to function, energy is very much needed. When a person awakens their ability, their body is slightly tempered and they gain access to this energy needed for the ability to function." "This energy is mostly in small amounts but it increases with time and even faster with the help of absorbing crystals." Alex listened attentively, he wondered how his Dad gained so much knowledge about abilities. 'Speaking
Journey To The Peak Chapter 4: No Ability?
The people in the crowd who knew Alex was the one the first rumour was about were bewildered, not just because he was participating but the mere fact that he chose Royal Academy. What sort of nonsense was this? Royal Academy could be said to be the best in the whole of Lurora Empire. As the name implied, it was the Academy that most royalties attended and even the present Empress is an alumnus of Royal Academy. It is an Academy that was founded by the Royal family many years ago. The reason Alex chose it wasn't because it was filled with royalties coming from high-end families but because it has the best resources available and as such, it produced better and stronger students. If Alex was going to understand his highly complicated ability, he would need the information and resources of the Academy. The representative of Royal Academy was a middle-aged lady. She had an indifferent expression on her face and was putting on white inner clothing and a purple coat on top that had the
