‘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 thought
A 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

He looked at his status and smiled, so this was the overall level up.
He picked himself up and walked to the exit without noticing the crowd behind him.
It was dark and he needed to get home soon..
********************
“Where is this child” a bald old man thought as he paced back and forth in front of this door.
Yes, he told him to go train with the other kids but it was getting late already.
“This boy will be the death of me” He grumbled and turned back inside
“At least let me prepare some food” He said as he entered the kitchen
Moments later, a knock was heard from outside.
The old man frowned and open the door.
Behind the door was a black haired boy with a smile plastered on his face.
His nice clothes had turned to rags with stains of blood.
“Boy, where have you been” The old man glared as he took in the sight before him.
“At least, let me inside old man” Roshan went in and collapsed on the bed. His body was feeling fine but the fight had taken a mental toll on him and he was exhausted.
He knew his caretaker wouldn’t allow him to rest until he explained because the man was looking as if he would skin him any instant, with a deep breath, he sat up and started
“I fought with a Level 13 training bot” He said and grinned but the grin disappeared when he still saw the man frowning.
“Don’t joke with me boy and tell me who did this to you” Fyi wouldn’t believe a word he said. How could this boy who looked so weak that he couldn’t sense any mana from him fight a level 13 opponent.
“I’m serious, I did fight a Level 13” Roshan said as he frowned, he had no reason to lie about it
Much to his annoyance, the old man burst out laughing. How could this thing fight a Level 13, he was even looking serious about.
He laughed harder till he started to cough.
“Ahh…Ahh..if you don’t want to tell me don’t worry. You really fought a Level 13, hahahahahaaa” with his light giggling he went into the kitchen
“Pfffftt…A level 13 really”
Roshan was annoyed, he was looking forward to talking about his achievement but it looked like this old geezer didn’t believe him one bit.
Anyway, he didn’t care at least he got his rewards. Maybe he would try sparring with the other kids next That robot was pretty tough.
And his sword was filled with cracks after he did his last attack.
He would need a new weapon but he needed money too.
But what was on his mind now was his dinner but what he needed now was a long refreshing shower.

§~~Planet Nervada~~§
In a planet not far from Earth, two scaly creatures walked closer and were looking around.
They were the height of two average humans put together. At least one was taller than the other.
They would be mistaken for human if not for their abnormal height, jagged teeth and sharp claws with scaly skin.
“Boss I don’t think it’s here” The shorter Deagi said as he frowned his face. They had been searching for this mysterious things for days on this planet mostly with him doing the work. Three circular rock like substances could be around his forearms, two on his right hand and one on his left hand but another one was slowly forming o that hand. In just a matter of weeks.
He would become a four rings and that was why he followed this other Deagi.
“Keep quiet, I can feel it. It’s closer” The taller Deagi said and a total of seven rings could be seen on his forearms, one was slowly forming on his left arms.
Yes, He would be an eight ring.
“That’s what you have been saying for days” The four rings grumbled
“What did you say” The seven rings frowned as he looked at him.
“Nothing, Boss. I said that it was good that you could feel it closer” The short one flinched as he moved far from his boss.
The seven rings had clearly heard what he said but how could he blame him, he too was getting fed up of the situation. This would be the last day for the search, how would he present himself if he came back empty handed.
A glimpse of light was seen from afar. Was that it. what they had been searching for was at that light.
“Dejrahl..you idiot come here” He barked in excitement.
This was the chance.
With that weapon, humans' hope was gone. They would kill themselves without us having to do anything.
He laughed at this thought.
His laughter became louder like a maniac. The Four rings arrived and looked at his boss.
What was funny.
He didn’t know what was funny but decided to join in laughing.
They both laughed, one laughing at a realisation the other because he was too stupid to understand.
Until
“Dejrahl…. You fool,, why are you laughing. Go to that place and search for what I told you” The seven rings frowned as he pointed to the distant light.
Dejrahl flinched and ran to the direction of the finger
The frown was turned into a smile.
“Dejrahl. I am sorry but your life force would be needed” he said without a hint of remorse as he burst out laughing again
Human existence was in danger.
*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
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 statu
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
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
[Opponent detected] [System Quest: Obliterate Opponent] [Quest Reward: Evolution] Roshan’s sword glowed brightly with fire as he stood with his back against Hera, holding her own bright light longsword. 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
“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
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
“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
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
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
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
