Roshan went through the forest and he stumbled upon a Rock Giant. 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 status had increased.
He formulated a plan immediately and went behind the Rock Giant.
Taking a breath, he leapt onto the back of the giant and used his legs to tightly hold on.
The Beast was infuriated. Who would dare sneak up on him.
“Absorb”
*Energy Absorption activated*
The beast began to sway.
Roshan’s smile was growing wider because of the screen above him
*New attribute obtained
*2 free stats obtained
*2 free stats obtained
*2 free stats obtained
*2 free stats obtained
“Maybe absorbing energy would give me free stats” He smiled as he thought of that.
When he realised that the messages had stopped coming in. The gauntlet glowed green and a deadly amount of poison seeped into the beast despite its defence ability.
With its energy fully absorbed. The poison acted faster and it collapsed breathing faintly.
“That was quicker than I thought”
*Level 10 beast Gem obtained*
*Would you like to absorb?*
“Yes of course”
*Energy Absorption activated*
*Defence: +15
*2 free stats obtained
*Energy Absorption Completed*
“Wow, it looks like absorbing a gem of a beast that specialises in defence will really help me”
Roshan savoured the energy coming from the Gem, it was intoxicating.
Time to recheck his status but before that, he moved to the location of the dead beast
Using his crystal Iris, he dug out the gem.
*Level 8 beast Gem obtained
*Would you like to absorb?*
“No…not now. Maybe I would check if it had any other important uses” Roshan said as he kept the gem in his Infinity Pool.
Now he could check his status.
But before he could say anything. He heard a scream coming from the deeper part of the forest.
“Sounds like someone is in trouble” gathering his speed, he ran to the direction of the sound.
****************
Roshan ran to the direction of the sound and saw a boy struggling for his life with a beast.
The boy had a huge cut on his waist and blood flowed from it. He was fighting a huge beast with the thick skin and the tail of a scorpion.
The Arachion moved its tail targeting it at the weak point of the young boy who was desperately trying to block the beast.
From the look on the boy’s face, he was pretty scared but he was still trying as hard as he could.
Roshan’s eyes moved to spot a dead beast by the corner. The boy must have killed it and the Arachion must have happened to be passing by and needed a free meal.
*Crystal Iris Activated*
*Name: Arachion
*Ability: None
*Level: 14
*HP: [350/600]
*The Arachion’s skin is pretty tough and has a very thick defence. Its gem would be the right material in making an armour or a gauntlet.
“This guy must have been fighting for a long time but I guess he must be very weak. That beast’s gem would be very useful in upgrading my gauntlet” Roshan thought as he readied himself
He waited till when the beast was about to land a strike on the boy. Then at the right moment, he ran forward with both his hands above his head and slammed them on the head on the beast.
Shocked by the appearance of the intruder and the devastating pain it felt, the Arachion let out a loud, angry howl.
The boy who was fighting with the beast let out a breath and moved slowly to a corner with his hand on his waist.
“Phew, with this guy fighting the beast, he will be able to reduce the strength of the beast and probably weaken it before he dies. He is just a level 15 fighter. This Level 14 beast is comparable to a Level 20 human. When this boy dies. I would be able to get the beast Gem when I recover half of my strength” The wounded boy smiled faintly as he thought out a plan.
Roshan didn’t even look at the boy. The only thing on his mind was to get that gem.
When his fist had slammed on the beast, he released a great deal of poison.
The Arachion felt an unknown presence in its body gradually affecting its life force and the pain was excruciating.
It went berserk and started swinging its tail in anger at this annoying intruder.
Roshan dodged the attacks while landing an attack of his own at the beast.
With a punch to the side of the beast, he moved quickly and landed a punch on its leg breaking it in the process.
Not giving the beast a chance, he kicked the beast into a nearby tree destroying some trees in the process.
The poison and repeated beatings was making the beast become dizzy and rapidly lose consciousness.
The wounded boy by the corner had his mouth opened in shock because his plan was destroyed right in front of him.
Roshan landed on top of the beast
*Energy Absorption Activated*
*2 free stats obtained
*Strength: +5
*Speed: +5
*Stamina: +3
*200 exp points gained
A smile appeared on his face as he punched the middle of the Arachion’s head breaking it and pulling out the gem.
“Finally, that beast was a bit hard” he said as he tucked the gem into his pocket.
He was about to leave as he had gotten what he needed
“Hey, that’s mine” a hoarse voice sounded into his ears.
The wounded boy was pretty annoyed. His whole plan had just gone down the drain and he made another plan.
He would extort the gem with another means after all he found the beast
“That gem is mine” he said again
“Hmmmm?” Roshan furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the boy. This was the first time he actually paid attention to the boy. He had dark brown hair and tiny specks on his cheeks. His eyes were the deep colour of brown.
He just saved this boy’s life and the boy wanted to take the gem back. He killed the beast and the gem was his reward.
“But I killed the beast, so what are you talking about” Roshan said as he scanned the boy.
*Name: Logan Square
*Level: 17
*Ability: Earth
*HP: [250/600]
“I weakened the beast and without me, you wouldn’t have had any chance to kill it” The boy said as he groaned in pain
Roshan looked at the boy for a minute before bursting out in laughter.
“Buhahahahha…….if I wasn’t here, you would be dead. Hehee…. I saved your life and you still wanna steal from me. Do you not have any dignity” Roshan scoffed as he looked at the boy one more time before turning away. He wasn’t going to succumb to anyone because of their strength or level.
He would never allow himself to be treated like scum.
He just saved a person’s life and the person still wanted to extort him. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.
Logan clenched his fist as he watched Roshan flash away from him.
“Bastard….you are just a weak level 15. Better hope you don’t meet me again”
******************
Somewhere on a rocky planet.A military base was filled with soldiers patrolling around and engaging in training routines.A small camp settled in a part of the base. 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. He hadn’t seen them for years now.With a wider grin, he put the phone down.Suddenly, the communicator device rang.He was surprised because it hasn’t rang for a long time.Pressing a button, a voice w
“hehehee…you are all a bunch of weaklings” A hoarse voice sounded in a bare planet.A huge creature was seen pummeling down on a huge robot and sparks began to fly from the robot.The Captain saw that this situation was not going wellBehemoth jumped far away from the Deagi as large missiles fired at that location.The Deagi was seen with a hole in his chest but it wasn’t anywhere near his heart. A wicked smile appeared on his lips as blowed flowed down.The hole slowly began to close but how could Steph stand and watch this happen.He fired his energy gun targeting at that same hole and it got slightly bigger and wider.Steph fired up his energy sword ready to go in for another strike.“I should aim for the right side of his chest as his heart is located there. I could at least try killing him” His face became solemn and the sword shown brighter.Behemoth ran creating heavy momentum on the ground and headed towards the Deagi who was being held down by the Earth users.With a shout, t
Roshan walked to his normal hunting ground, he needed to get more stats, he needed to get a lot of money for the old man as he wasn’t going to be around anymore if he finally enters the military school.What if he wasn’t actually there to help with the poison, where would the old man get the money, he sighed as he kept walkingAll these burdens made him feel like an old man tooHe still had the Arachion’s gem which he planned on using to upgrade his gauntlets. He could still absorb energy from the beasts he hunted to gain more stats and he would sell the gems too.The main solution to his problems was just to hunt.He walked deeper into the forest, the vines and branches grew thicker till he came across a large sandy area.He stopped as he looked over the area. His ears picked up slight movements.“Something’s coming” he thought as he readied himself for a battle, almost immediately a beast jumped out from under the ground baring out its fangs. It looked like a giant worm with layers
He walked straight into the market heading for the stall he last exchanged his gem. He went straight for the stall.“Hello sir” He politely greeted the shop keeper.The old man instinctively turned around and his face went white“It’s you” The man said as he pointed his trembling finger at Roshan’s face.“I see you have missed me sir” Roshan smiled showing a pair of glistening white teeth and moved the finger of the man slowly out of his direction of sight.“I brought somethings for you, I would like to sell these” Roshan said with a flick of his hands, the 16 gems appeared.Forgetting his previous fright, the man looked at the gems carefully and his eyes bulged out.“le..level 13 and 14???.. how did you get these” The man asked as he silently pressed a button below his desk.‘What priceless gems. This boy must have stolen them. How would these kid kill all these beasts. I have to contact the authorities. I may even get some of these free of charge when he is arrested. I would be rich

Getting into the academy was no easy feat.There was no other thing for him to do but just to wait.**************In a city on the Northern part of earth. A girl stood in the midst of fallen bodies.Moans and groans of pain could
The sun shone as a tall shirtless boy jumped up from his bed.“It’s time, I have been training for this all my life” Bahr said as he walked out of his house.At the centre of the town. People could be seen walking around and activities were bustling. They all knew this is the day of the Tournament that would change countless of lives.“Hurry up, let’s move to the arena. I don’t wanna miss the first competition.”“I think Bahr’s gonna get into the academy”“My daughter has been training for years. I hope she succeeds”“I would bet on Bahr”“My son told me about a new kid who was very strong”“Strong? So what, Bahr would still defeat him anywhere and any day”This was the bickering between the males of the town.The females continued their own discussions at another corner.“Did you know, Dariuz is gonna to show his face at the arena” One of the ladies flushed red.“You mean it? Ahhhhhh I want to marry him” some screamed out.“I did hear Princess Hera would be here too”“Awwn no, she wo
“Let the Tournament begin” Dariuz's voiced boomed aloud and both the competitors and crowd went wild. Dariuz raised his hands and continued.“In this round. You would be grouped in two and you will fight against each of your opponents. The first twenty people with the highest score will move into the second round. Your scores will be determined by your number of wins.” He said as he scanned the contestants.“Make sure you take this round with utmost seriousness. Out of the thirty five beings here, twenty will move on, I am very sure you would like that position. The rules of the game is that you are not allowed to use any ability or magic even mana energy. We only need your pure strength. You are also not allowed to kill”He looked over at The Princess’s side and she sent a nod to him.“The first round begins” A huge electronic board appears above the arena.The contestants readied themselves and Dariuz pressed a button. With that the first part of the board started to fluctuate and
Roshan watched as they moved his new friends into the infirmary.“So he was strong too, who could have known”Time passed as the round went on.Roshan with a total points of 28 defeating each of his opponents with one hit, he had already created a name for himself and he didn’t realise.Onne could say that based on his luck he hadn’t really met stronger opponents which was right but was it his faultThinking about this, Roshan could not help but smile at this thought.Alas he was not the only one with the scores that shook the arenaSiera had a total of 29 pointsKade even if he was defeated in his first round, he snagged a total score of 26Jack had a total of 20 points.Even Bahr scored a total of 25 points with no lossesThe top scorer was a white haired boy with a score of 30His name was Kisan.Roshan had asked about him but even Kade didn’t know much all he knew that Kisan wasn’t part of the North side as he had never heard of him.Kisan also maintained a winning streak defeatin
