2022-05-25 17:45:39This 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 had already left.
A screen came to his face.
*DAILY QUEST ACHIEVED*
*Daily Quest Rewards: 80exp*
*Exp: [80/300]*
At least it increased a little, he thought.
He looked at the sword by his side and brought it out of its scabbard.
The cracks were a little visible now, would he be able to fight with it.
He saw a small sharp stone by his side and picked it up. Instead of being idle, he could at least sharpen the sword.
He moved his hand gently over the sword and thought of his parents. He really missed them
He knew they would be happy to see him now, their boy was fulfilling their wish.
He smiled as he kept sharpening the sword.
******************
Somewhere close to where Roshan was
“I brought someone for you to challenge, make me proud. I boasted about you and besides he would be easy for you to beat. I believe he is very weak” The short man said as he looked at Roshan’s direction.
“Yes Father……… But why would you bring someone weak to me, it’s more like a waste of time” The boy answered back
“He is confident he can beat you which I don’t like. He should just admit he is weak” The man said as he turned to face his son.
“Beat me‼?...hahahaha” The boy started laughing
How long has it been. Someone who can beat him
He found it stupid and funny.
“Ok dad, I’ll humour you”
****
Moments later, Roshan looked up and saw the short man coming together with a tall shirtless boy whose muscles glittered in the sun.
Looking at them, you would wonder how a man like that would give birth to that kind of monster.
The boy looked at the Roshan with his eyes narrowed.
“You!!!!” The boy growled
Roshan tilted his head slightly to the side as he wondered if he knew the boy.
“Uhmmmm…do I know you” Roshan asked, he wondered why the boy showed his such hostility.
The short man ignored their interactions as he introduced his son.
“Young child, this is my son…Bahr. Do you still wanna fight him”
Roshan ignored the fact that the man still doubted him as he put his hand forward
“My name is Roshan, nice to meet you Bahr”
Bahr looked at the pale hand like it was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen.
“I don’t shake weak people” Bahr growled as he looked away
‘ohhhhhh…..like father like son' Roshan thought as he put his hand back down.
Bahr scanned him and glanced at his father, wondering why his father still wanted him to waste time with this thing.
Yes, Roshan was the thing he referred to
Bahr had watched the fight between Roshan and the Level 13 training bot but he based it on mere luck.
To him Roshan was no less than a mere rat and he would teach that rat his place.
This village had room for one master and it was obviously him not this rat.
After all, Bahr had also fought a Level 13 twice and although he lost the first time, he easily got rid of it the second time in a matter of minutes and that was four months ago. He had gotten much stronger.
So a boy that took hours to defeat a Level 13 bot, beating him would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
On the other side, Roshan was just standing there.
He knew beating Bahr would be tough after all the guy was a Level 15 so he asked.
“can we go all out?”
Before Bahr could answer, his father stood up
“Yes of course, go all out. This place is safe and there is no one around that could get injured” The man smiled as he answered.
Of course, why wouldn’t they go all out. What did that weak boy have that he wanted to show. If they went all out it would be easier for his son to beat him a lot faster.
Roshan smiled as he looked at Bahr but instead of seeing Bahr all he could see was a test dummy for his experiments and his smile got wider.
What’s up with that weird smile, Bahr thought as he felt a chill up his spine.
The reason Roshan asked that question was because he had used the crystal Iris on Bahr and it had given him this.
*NAME: BAHR GREEMS
*LEVEL: 15
*ABILITY: Body Enhancement
*HP: [400/400]
So this opponent was strong but Roshan knew he could defeat him if he went all out. It was gonna be a tough battle but another thing that excited Roshan was
*Opponent detected*
*QUEST UPDATE*
*QUEST: Defeat opponent*
*QUEST REWARDS: Unlock two new skills
*Instant double Level Up
*Unlock System shop
His eyes sparkled as he read the rewards.
Maybe it was because Bahr would be a difficult opponent that the system gave him more rewards.
Now the battle for the strongest contender would begin.
Roshan caught the short man chewing something.
‘wait…..is that popcorn?’ his eyes widened in disbelief. Did this man think it would be fun getting him beaten up.
‘where did he even get the popcorn’ Roshan thought but he waved away those silly thoughts as he focused on his opponent.
His eyes scanned his opponent as he picked up his sword lying by his side.
Bahr had no weapon and he didn’t need one as long as he had his fists there was no problem.
But Roshan didn’t care. At least he was told to go all out.
Roshan moved and leapt into a striking range, raising his sword amd slightly bending it, he aimed at the side of Bahr’s torso and he slashed it
Clanggg!!!
It was as if his sword had struck metal.
‘so this is the body enhancement' Roshan said as he noticed the slight colour on the side his sword struck. Before he could get himself.
A fast punch headed for his stomach throwing him back.
That single punch shook the whole of his body but he had already known that it won’t be easy.
A short man was heard laughing and crunching his snack. He was enjoying this.
Roshan examined his opponent.
He noticed that when he struck Bahr’s waist, a slight grey colour was shown but he also noticed that the colour was also absent on the other parts of his body meaning he could only enhance one body part at a time.
Roshan decided to test as he readied his stance.
Bahr looked at him
‘He’s a bit strong. I actually felt a slight pain from that hit. I need to take him a lot seriously'
He ran forward and threw a kick at Roshan who block the attack with his sword, little did he know that the crack on the sword was getting a bit longer.
After he blocked that attack, he swung his sword aiming for the neck at Bahr who readed his forearm to block it but the sword stopped immediately as Roshan twisted his wrist and aimed lower hitting Bahr’s lower abdomen.
But there was a surprise waiting for him, the sword made a sound as if it hit metal again.
Roshan’s eyes widened for a moment but he regained his calm. He was wrong.
Bahr saw an opening and aimed for Roshan’s chest,
Enhancing his fist, he punched it as hard as he could.
Blood spilled from Roshan’s mouth as he flew and crashed into a nearby tree.
He slid down with his hands on the floor and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He had underestimated his opponent.
He took his stance again and this time he was ready.
He ran as fast as he could using his full stats. With a mighty speed, he swung his sword at Bahr. The latter seeing this got prepared and stood his ground. As the sword got closer, he raised his two arms in front of him and blocked the strike.
A shattering sound and a large bang was heard.
Bahr had flown from where he stood and crashed into the forest destroying a wide area of tree.
Roshan cleaned the blood flowing from his mouth. He had to payback in folds of course.
A man by the far side of the battle had his mouth open in surprise as pieces of popcorn fell from his mouth.
“H….he…he…is…s…st…strong” he had taken an amount of time to complete that short sentence because of his shock.
Roshan saw Bahr’s figure walking out from the forest and he could feel the killing intent from him at his peak as blood was seen flowing from his mouth and there were bruises on his arms where he had blocked the attack.
Roshan raised his sword to fight or so he thought, instead of a sword all he saw was a hilt with no blade.
He had no weapon, would he be able to win this fight

“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..

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

It had killed a beast before and it was digging into its body obviously searching for something.“Crystal Iris”*Name: Rock Giant*Level: 10*Attribute: None*HP: [500/500]It was a Level 10 beast but it still had a very high HP“Its defence must be very good” Roshan thought as he looked closer at the beast.He knew the Rock Giant was definitely looking for the dead beast’s gem and he couldn’t let that happen.“That dead beast is a Level 8 beast. If I get my hands on it. I could easily level up and the Rock Giant’s Gem would be a great helper too but I need a plan quick”Due to the Crystal Iris, Roshan was able to see where the beast Gem was located and he realised the Rock Giant was getting closer to it.“Gauntlets” he thought in his mind and a bright light covered both his hands.He checked his status to see if something had changed*STRENGTH: 27(+20)*AGILITY: 27*SPEED: 27(+25)*STAMINA: 27*DEFENCE: (+15)His statu

In that camp, was a man sitting behind a desk, going through a file.“There’s nothing going on in this place. I am so bored” The sturdy man exhaled as he stood up and looked outside the window.Seeing the most of the soldiers training, relaxing and talking with one another. Maybe he could take a day off too.Taking out his mobile, he dialled in a number.“Elise, how are you?” A sweet voice could be heard from the phone“I hope the kids are okay too, Work is not much here and I’ll be coming back very soon. Maybe in the next two days.” The man said as a gentle smile was seen on his face.At least he would be to go home now.

Hera realised she would not reach the boy in time and he could be slapped to a paste by the Daegi.“Wake up, Roshan!” She said to the boy, as she saw him plummeting into the ground but he didn’t move.She knew she couldn’t wait anymore. She had to activate judgement now.“Sacred Sword Projection: Judgement!” Hera cried with a loud voice and the light long sword in her hand grew bigger, its edges blazing with a loud amount of holy light.The sword moved towards the Daegi in an attempt to slice in two from the top.The Daegi felt a tingling sensation, and it turned around, ignoring its target on Roshan’s body.It immediately blinked away from the area of contact trying to move from the attack but Hera persisted turning her body and the sword.It was time to give this Daegi a piece of her mind.Something at the back of her mind told her that she wouldn’t be able to fully destroy this monster just like she did to the Tre-ant but it was worth it.“At least these people can escape with me

They both had to face different opponents, and their opponents weren’t giving them a breathing space. “Let’s go, Roshan.” Hera said, and at the sound of her voice. She activated her spells “Light element: Judgemental Rods.” At the sound of Hera’s voice. A dozen thick rods formed in front of her, ready to launch at the Daegi. “Would you need any help?” Hera said, directing her question to Roshan. “I don’t know yet.” Roshan replied calmly. He really didn’t know if he would be able to kill this thing but he definitely wanted to kill it. ------ He just wanted to get the satisfaction of killing it, the one thing that was the cause of his parents’ death. Roshan knew that this was not the exact creature that killed his parents. This was a human who was trapped in the body of this m

“Welcome.” Heath uttered with a wry smileRoshan only stared at him with boiling anger powering the intensity of his fire.“Shut your mouth, Heath. We aren’t done yet.” Roshan yelled furiously.“I’m done with you, Roshan. Weren’t you meant to be leaving? You had your chance to go and now you returned because of your selfishness. You neglected your friends and family to come back here, Roshan.” Heath cried out, and laughed.“Roshan, you fool. You have been blinded. This is what I like. A hero who thinks only about himself. I’m so happy that you are finally true to yourself.” Heath grinned widely. His face contorting into one of pure madness.“I said, Shut up!” Roshan moved swiftly, putting his attributes to use. A sword made of fire immediately appeared in his hand, burning fiercely as it mirrored the raging emotions of its wielder.Roshan brought the sword with full force but Heath had already moved away. He had simply vanished just like the way he had vanished from the laboratory the
DAEGI'S RAMPAGE
“We need to get out of here immediately.” Roshan blurted out in a rush. He straightened his body but he still couldn’t get rid of the pain. “What do you mean, Roshan?” Hera looked at him. She had picked up Siera who had just woken up, and placed her on her shoulders. “A Daegi is out there.” Roshan uttered, a look of worry etched on his face. This was something that would kill them. “A Daegi? “ Hera’s eyes shook. She clenched her fist, she didn’t know if she could face an actual Daegi while she had to protect these kids. The last time she held off a Daegi was because she summoned him, but would she be able to do with the current amount of mana she had left. “How many rings did you see?” Lans asked, he didn’t know why but he just couldn’t get rid of the suspicions he had for this kid. “I… I don’t know. We have to go see it ourselves.” Roshan spoke, and he moved to his father. “I’m so happy you are saved.” Roshan said with a smile and he placed his arms around Old man Fyi, giving
FIVE RINGED DAEGI IDENTIFIED
Hera turned around in an instant, grabbing Lans’ collar, and she slammed his back onto the cold hard wall. Lans looked at her directly in his eyes before bringing his head low. It was his responsibility to take care of them but he had done a terrible job. He couldn’t bring himself to say it to Hera’s face. “Answer me, Lans.” Hera growled at him. “Heath took them away. He had taken away Siera as a ransom and a bet saying that if we found Roshan’s father here, he would release her.” Lans replied her. “And you let him?” Hera’s hold on Lan’s collar tightened, and cracks started to surface on the wall.She felt a touch on her hand, and looked up, it was Read. “Give him a break. We had no choice.” Read said with a low voice. Hera sighed and released Lans. “Where is Roshan?” She asked, her eyes moving towards Lans.“The coward was taken after we lost consciousness due to a gas.” A soldier muttered but Hera heard the words. “Coward?” Heath questioned, looking at the soldier that had sp
KNOWING THE TRUTH
“My father?” Roshan looked at Heath as the boy in white paced around the laboratory, holding the bloodied scalpel in his hand. “Your father was a killer.” Heath’s voice rang out. His eyes held no emotion as he spoke.“I know.” Roshan replied back to him. His teeth was clenched as he struggled to keep his focus on Siena and calculate how much time she had left.Roshan’s father being a killer wasn’t new to his son. He was a war veteran, he would gotten rid of the head on the neck of the enemies and Roshan as his son had grown to accept it. “...” Heath was silent before he let out a low chuckle. The sound of the scalpel hitting the ground echoed in the laboratory.“So you know he killed my parents?” Heath’s eyes grew cold, and for the first time, Roshan was sure he saw a strange emotion on Heath’s face before it quickly switched back to normal. “My father would never do such a thing.” Roshan replied. He had trust in his father. The man was too simple to harm his fellow human unless h
CAPTURED AND AN IMPENDING STORM
Roshan opened his eyes and he saw a wide blanket of darkness surrounding every corner of his vision. There was a heavy feeling on his chest, one that brought about a feeling of weakness.He felt suspended, causing him to glance around, only to realize that he was alone in this void space.Eventually, his memory clicked, and an image was painted in the centre of his head. He had visited this place before, but he wasn't placed in such a position.The last time he came here was when his system had shut down after the Arkon's tournament fight with Siera.Looking back now, he realized that he had truly come a long way, and he was a lot stronger than before.However, last time, his parents had visited him, but why weren't they here now?"Wake up, Hero." A deep reverberating sound resonated in the space of his void causing him to want to cover his ears but he couldn't move his limbs.His bones were stiff and he could barely do a thing.Roshan tried to picture the last fragment of his memory
LAST HOPE
Everyone turned their heads to Roshan waiting for him to say something to them. He couldn’t possibly be the coward that Heath was talking about. He had saved them a lot of times. Heath quietly watched the scene from where he sat. It was just as he planned.He wouldn’t even have to do anything, he would just watch them destroy each other from the inside.It was quite hilarious to see the little faith that they lacked. “Roshan, if you have a way for us to get out. It’d be much better for you to do it now. It’s your father we are after.” Roshan listened as Lans spoke, but he couldn’t tell them about his powers. He would have to explain a lot, and they would not even understand him. How could he explain his abilities when he couldn’t even absorb mana. “I have nothing to say.” Heath smiled when he heard Roshan’s words. Why was the boy so adamant on keeping his powers secret?Well he didn’t have much time to waste. They would find out sooner or later. Lans was about to say something
A BIGGER COWARD AMONG YOU
The team decided to wait till the next morning. Roshan wasn’t able to fall asleep, he kept thinking of what he would do to make sure they found Master Fyi.Roshan knew that these were the people who had killed his parents because the clothes worn by the men who had taken Siera away had a Night Wing logo etched on the back. It had taken a lot of effort for Roshan to calm but that was after his rage made him tear of someone’s limb. He just had to wait for Lans to give the order, and he would go to kill Heath himself.His parents didn’t deserve to die. “Roshan? You up?” Roshan turned his head when he heard Kade calling out to him. “Yeah?” Roshan answered with an expressionless face.“Do you like Siera?” Kade’s voice was low but what he has said had almost made Roshan choke on his spit. “She’s my friend. Of course I like her.” Roshan furrowed his brows trying to understand what Kade was thinking. “That... I know that, but it’s not what I meant.” “What do you mean then?” Roshan tur
