Roshan’s mouth was hung open as he read through the screen.
The first thing that caught his attention was the new added feature
‘Human Race...’
He was a greater human??
‘What the hell was that!!’
He asked himself
Another surprising thing was the Daily Quest he saw at the end of the screen.
‘How was he supposed to run 20 miles in a day’ He groaned in agony.
The system gave him no response which annoyed him even more.
Well…he had to become stronger.
He picked up his sword and ran out of the forest at his highest speed.
****************
→§The Military Base §←
††††††††††††**
“Sir, A Deagi was reported on the Nerat’s border” A young man dressed in military armour stood opposite the huge desk.
“Hmmm..” A deep monotone voice hummed in thought, sitting behind the desk. A man who was no older than 50 with a large scar across his right eye to his right cheek. His large muscles would make any body builder cry in shame.
“Have you captured it?” The monotone voice sounded again.
“N..no Sir, We tried to buy it was too strong for us and slipped out of our hands” The Soldier stuttered as he brought his head in shame.
Not able to capture one of those was a thing of disgrace as they had twelve strong soldiers on board.
Little did he know that his boss was least interested in their efforts.
“How many rings did you see?” The muscular man said
“F…Five, Sir” The soldier quietly said
‘Fi…Fi…Five Five Fucking Rings, How the hell did a Five Ring enter the southern border. Fuck, Fuck!! FUCK!!!. I need to inform the head. The war may begin sooner than we think'.
The muscular man looked calm but his head was spinning wildly.
“Ok, dismiss”
The soldier saluted and turned around.
“Captain Rus, wait” The deep voice sounded halting the footsteps of the man.
“Sir?” The man said and turned around
“I think we should begin the tournament now” The muscular man said with his hands on his chin
“But…but sir” The soldier frowned
“Rus, we need more hands on deck due to the appearance of that Deagi. It seems we underestimated their growth.”
“What are you talking about. I know that’s not the reason you want to begin the tournament” Rus looked at the man as if he was speaking in a different language.
“Elder Brother, if we don’t do this, he won’t train harder” The muscular man looked at the man trying to tell him to understand his reasons.
“Shawn, beginning the tournament earlier solves nothing” The Captain dropped all formalities and looked at his boss in the eye.
“It does. Big brother if we were to start the tournament a little sooner and we were to had some benefits, won’t people start to train harder. He will feel left out and work harder to. He is my nephew and your son. You know what he is capable of doing”.
Shawn said as he looked deeply at his brother.
Emerald eyes stared back at him in annoyance
“Alright, do what you must” Rus said and stormed out of the room.
‘At least he understands' Shawn sighed and pressed a button on his communicator.
“The Arkon’s Tournament is to begin two weeks from now”.
***************
Jet black hair moved calmly through the warm breeze as crystal blue eyes sparkled in the mid noon under the sun.
Pink luscious lips moved calmly as he took steady breaths.
Thin pale hands gripped the weapon in his hands and then…
BAMMMMMM!! BAMMMM!!!! BAMMM!!!!!!!
Deafening sounds rang through the whole compound
“You know...you don’t have to take it that hard” An aged voice rang through the area as he watched the child creating awful marks on his pretty wall. He was going to spend another amount this week and he wasn’t liking it one bit
“I have to, the tournament is now in two weeks and I’m still not satisfied!!!”
Roshan exhaled as he grimaced. He didn’t even turn to acknowledge the man.
“I think you have done enough for today, remember you are also going to be tested on your knowledge” The aged man said as he sipped from his tea
“Yeah …I have read the books you have given me” Roshan said as he raised his sword preparing to strike again.
He didn’t realise his words dealt a blow to the old man.
‘E…..eve.. EVERYTHING!!!’ the man screamed internally as his hands trembled but he controlled himself. Those books were large. He had made sure to give him the ones that he would find hard to comprehend and this child is saying that he finished the books in three days.
‘No…he must be playing with me’ he said as he sighed in relief
“Hmmm…everything, mind if I asked you some questions” the man said as he came forward.
“Feel free” Roshan didn’t even stop his assault on the wall and continued swinging his sword. He hated this weapon but it was the only thing he had to practice his speed and strength.
“What are the abilities of the First Users” The man calmly asked as he sipped his tea
“The First Users were the First people to show the use of abilities in the war for human survival. They were 11 in total each possessing different abilities. The first users’ abilities were; Fire, Water, Light, Space, Mind, Darkness, Earth, Lightning, Ice and Mud”.
Roshan said in a breath.
“The basic elemental abilities were Fire, Water, Light, Space, Mind, Darkness and Earth while the evolved abilities were Lightning, Ice and Mud” he continued as he swung his sword again.
“As time went by, different abilities came to face. Abilities like speed, telekinesis, strength, body hardening, Steel and many others but they were just measly abilities compared to the First Users”.
“Should I go on?” Roshan asked the old man with a smirk on his face.
The man looked at the calm looking boy as if he was a monster. The boy had just explained the history of abilities as if it were a mere fairy tale.
The man’s head was in disarray, but he brought himself back together as he gulped the remaining contents of his cup.
“Roshan, instead of training with my wall….” The old man started as he frowned looking at the ugly marks on his lovely walls
“…why don’t you spar with some of the village kids?” The old man continued looking at the face of the young man for any reactions and he wasn’t disappointed.
Roshan halted as he looked at the smiling man
“Master Fyi…..I don’t understand” He frowned as he tried to make out what the man was saying.
“Go out and challenge those that plan to compete in the tournament, dimwit” Fyi groaned as he looked as the confused child.
‘Ahh…yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago' Roshan said as a smile crept on to his face.
“Thank you, Master. I’ll be back by noon” Roshan said as he sped off into the village.
He should have thought of it a long time ago, using the competitors to test his skills.
‘Master is brilliant’
Roshan thought as he smiled.
He wanted to spar with the others but what was on his mind was the daily quest and the quest he had yet to finish. This was tiring. He had killed two more Level 1 beasts in the last few days but he had not thought of taking the daily quest.
He ran past the market place, past the playground for the children and into the forest.
“System show me my progress with the daily quest”
*Daily Quest: Run 20 kilometres*
*Daily Quest: 15/20 kilometres ran*
He still had Five more kilometres to run. His legs were aching him.
He ran and ran till he went deeper into the forest.
“Ahhh….ahhh..This system is really annoying” Roshan took deep breaths as he slowed his jumping heart.
«Ding!»
*Daily Quest completed*
*50 exp points gained*
*Exp: [50/200]*
“Whattttt….just 50. I felt like my legs were surely going to break and you give me just 50 points” Roshan yelled back at the system.
Anyone seeing this scene would wonder why a pale looking child was screaming and who he was talking to as there was nobody there.
Funny enough the system gave him no reply.
Roshan scowled in annoyance.
Light rustling of leaves could be heard beside him.
He immediately got into his fighting stance as he grapped his sword.Taking light steps towards the source of the sound.A large looking pig like shaped creature with the head of a rodent jumped out of the bush taking Roshan by surprise but due to his speed and agility, he was able to avoid the attack.He would have said the creature looked like a giant rat but the protruding biceps on all four of its limb contrasted with its thin body that the shape of its ribs were visible and it was a pretty ugly shape.The nauseating smell made the black haired boy cringe his nose in disgust.“Crystal Iris activate” He mentally said*Raret*Level 1*Ability: Poison*HP: [10/10]Now that his crystal iris had levelled up, he would be able to tell the health points of his opponent.“Hmmm…poison, that would explain this horrible stench” Roshan thought as he pointed his weapon at the beast who was growling at the intruder in its territory.‘sssssssssst’ green gas flowed out from the skin pores of the b
“Who was that boy”“I know him…” A boy who was shorter than his age stated“I heard it was because of him, his family died and their house got burnt” The boy continued“That’s not possible, who would kill their own family” the scratchy voice came from a boy who looked like a round ball.“That’s not what I said, rumours said the boy is cursed, how will a whole family die and leave him alone” the short boy furrowed his eyebrows, he hated when people would twist his words.“He was pretty strong” one of the boys said with a low voice.“He wasn’t that strong, look at the way he struggled during the fight” One of the bigger boys scoffed“No…look at his last move, he must have been holding back” The round boy said, he believed Roshan was a lot stronger than he showed them.“He must be a lot stronger than Bahr” he continued“WHO SAID THAT!!!!!!!” A loud voice boomed scattering the whole gathering. Loud footsteps could be heard walking confidently to the area of the gathering.The short boy im
‘As expected, he wouldn’t succeed’ The shirtless boy thought as he turned around, there was nothing to do here. The robot would never harm a human.He turned to go when he heard the pale boy by his side shout“Look ..” he pointed and everyone followed the line of his pointed finger to the torso of the robot where a thin, slightly visible line was seen.As the robot moved a little. It fell, it’s upper body separating from the lower part.Silence swept through the crowd as they glanced at Roshan‘Monster’ was the word that they all thoughtA previously widened eyes narrowed in disgust“He was just lucky” Bahr said with a grunt and walked away.Roshan was on his knees due to the slight pain in his muscles as he Levelled up.Multiple dings were going off in his head*Quest Completed**Quest Reward: Overall Level Up**Level Up Initiating**HOST LEVEL: Level 13*HOST RACE: Greater Human*CURRENT ABILITY: None*STRENGTH: 25*AGILITY: 25*SPEED: 25*STAMINA: 25‹Mage Status›*Mage Level: 2*M
*DAILY QUEST UPDATED*Roshan was greeted by that message immediately he opened his eyes.‘Darn system…’he thought as he read through the message.*The system is only trying to help the user*“Did this thing just reply me” Roshan jumped up from the bed as he heard that.But no answer came this time, instead*Daily Quest: Walk 5000 steps**Steps: [0/5000]*“Hmmmmm. At least it sounds easy enough”Roshan went down on his hands and started his physical training. Even though he had a system that could easily…scratch that, that could give him strength as his system never really gave him anything easily, he knew not to rely too much on it.After two hours of exercises, he jumped into the bathroom and took a shower before heading out“Master Fyi, a good morning to you. I’ll be back before lunch.” He said and dashed out before the old man could say anything.Fyi looked at the back of the boy disappeared before grumbling“That’s what you said yesterday” He looked away and continued with his tea
This was too good to be true, he could get the gauntlet free of charge and he would prove he wasn’t weak. “Ok” He said immediately. “There is no problem if you want to back down like a weak person would do, you can…..wait what did you just say” The man turned to the boy in surprise. “I said I would fight and defeat your son in a battle” He stated again without an hint of fear. “My son would not go easy on you, a lot have tried to take him down but none succeeded. He is one of the best in the village. He….” “Ok, I’ll fight him” Roshan didn’t wait for the man to finish before stating his desire to fight again. He always loved challenges. “Ok, c…come with me” The short man looked at Roshan again, why is he so confident. Roshan followed the old man to a remote area close to the forest. “Wait here, while I get him. Don’t run away” The man smiled as if mocking him. “I won’t” Roshan answered without looking at the man, his mind was somewhere else. He didn’t even realise the man ha
“Bastard‼ you tried to kill me‼” Bahr yelled as he ran forward.“Hey, you tried to kill me first..I only returned the favour‼” Roshan said as he also ran forward“I will put you in your place you measly rat” A punch was aimed directly for Roshan’s head. This time the grey colour on it brightened more which meant he had focused his abilities there leaving his other sides vulnerable but he didn’t care. He would teach this rat a lesson.“You can try” Roshan smiled as he dodged the punch, the aura coming from that fist alone was deadly.Having dodge the punch, he immediately grabbed Bahr’s head and brought it on his knee hard.Bahr’s head flew backward and blood rushed from his nose.“I’ll kill you, RAT‼!” Bahr rushed in with punches.Move left, dodge right, under.. Roshan easily invaded this punches until he made a fatal mistake and a punch met him head on.He was thrown across the field like a rag doll.“Damn” he said as he stood up, his whole face was a mess and his nose was slightly c
“The pleasure is mine, you have proven to be a worthy opponent and my father will get you what he has promised” Bahr smiled as walked away. He hoped never to meet that monster again.The short man grumbled all the way back to his workshop but Roshan wasn’t paying much attention to him as several dings went on in his head. He had a lot of rewards coming on.The man immediately gave him the gauntlet and pushed him out of the shop but not before warning him never to come back.Roshan didn’t mind as long as he had gotten what he came for.Could this day get any better.Immediately he thought thatHis eyes caught a banner that read“Arkon’s Tournament to begin in two days”So it was moved forward again.He wondered what had happened*****************Somewhere in a large arena stood a boy with emerald eyes and he was currently facing three Level 14 training bots.His eyes sparkled as he gripped his staff. The robot rushed at him at once.A sword headed for his waist which he blocked with h
The Arkon’s Tournament was held in different branches of the planet earth.Humans living in different planets would gather in earth just to watch the big event as it could likely determine the future of the offsprings.Roshan’s town was one of the branches of the Tournament so he didn’t need to pay any money for transportation.Now it was just a day to the Arkon’s Tournament.Roshan went through his previous notifications.He didn’t have time to go through them the day before because he was busy with getting foodstuffs and explaining to his caretaker how he got the money.It was pretty annoying as Master Fyi would ask him every question he thought of.“Where did you get the money?”“How did you get a level 3 beast Gem?”“Where did you even find it?”“That weapon seller is cunning, was it hard to defeat his son?”“What ability did his son use?”“Body Enhancement!!!, How did you manage to defeat him?”Thinking about everything gave him an headache.He thought of the system and a screen
