Closure(6)It was almost midnight by the time Jacob got out of the hotel, the late night wind bringing chills down everyone's spine. Jacob sighed, he had finally gotten what he wanted; knowing the person behind his parent's death. But, the discovery was baffling; his dad always mentioned how great of a colleague Mr Paul Connor was, and how much he appreciated him, so then, why would he want their death??.Using the system, he found out Paul Connor's location; Lith's Automated Tech. He must have been working overtime for him to still be in the office this late. Executing the new {Blink} skill he got, Jacob's figure vanished, as dusts of silver settled on the ground.In the hotel, Noir's figure was sprawled on the floor, which was strange, since there were no sign of injury on him. But on taking a closer look, Noir seemed to have aged considerably, as his once black hair had turned white, with strands of the hair falling out. His eyes were sunken, as they seemed to have witnessed a terr
Final Closure Looking at the dizzying 200 meters below him, Paul swallowed in fear; he had to tell the truth!, the kid in front of him suddenly didn't seem like a kid anymore."What do you want to know??", Paul asked, as Jacob only stared at him; he wasn't going to repeat himself again."(Sigh), Sebastian was truly a great colleague, the type that comes into the office and hands out coffee to everyone. The only thing that I didn't like about him was, no matter how care free he was, he was also really hardworking. I found out that the company was planning to promote one from the both of us, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who was going to get the promotion. So, I did what any sane bussinessman would do, take out the opposition", by the time Paul finished his confession, his voice had gotten more and more strained, as Jacob tightened his grip."Hey man, what the hell. You've gotten the confession you want, let me go", Paul yelled, flailing his legs about. He even secretly wo

And, Absolute Shield??, strong enough to block the full powered attack of a Rank S awakened??, Jacob didn't know what to believe. It had to be said that a Rank S awakened is the strongest in the Polaroid Realm. Suddenly feeling motivated to go back to the Polaroid Realm, Jacob tracked Natalia's location as he vanished from the rooftop.***Gritting her teeth in fear and frustration,
Deep in space and time, past realms and mystic jungles, there was a realm ruled by humans who call themselves Gods.......The Desolate Realm. It was rumoured that the Desolate Realm was carved out of the remains of a greater world, one where real Gods and Goddesses reigned. In the rumour, it was said that there was a terrifying battle between a Godly Sovereign and a Demon Overlord, who, during the heat of the battle, tore through the fabric of space and time, severing the fragile layer of laws holding the greater World together.The broken piece of the World was what was being called the Desolate Realm today.Although this realm is just a part of a broken world, it was big......big enough to rival some particle worlds in size and resources. In this realm, thousands of miles deep, there was a grand imperial Kingdom, flourishing in both population and number of cultivators.In the main imperial hall, there was a round table meeting going on, the participants in the meeting sitting quie
"Any improvements?" A female voice asked with a hint of worry in her tone.Deep in his subconscious, where darkness reigned, Jacob could hear the familiar voice echoing in his mind as if in a far away distance, but something told him it was closer than he thought, so he sought to follow that voice hoping it would bring him to the light out of this endless darkness."I'm afraid there are no changes, we still can't tell when he'll come to." The voice was a male, one that sounded really mature and professional."You don't have to be sad Lucy, Jacob is strong, I'm sure he'll be alright, he'll wake up soon." Jason comforted.Lucy?Jacob heard that name echo in his subconscious. That name and the voices speaking sounded incredibly familiar to him, however it felt as if the endless fog of darkness was clouding his memory, but he continued to follow the voices towards the light."But, I just can't stop worrying that he might never wake up, that he might remain like that for who knows how long
*If host plans to engage in a physical battle, host has to first study his opponents, in order to defeat them. Host indeed doesn't have any experience in physical combat. In a desperate case where host's mana has been completely depleted to use any skills, host will end up as a pig ready for slaughter to his opponents.' 'You've never failed to tell me about my weaknesses, thank you very much for that helpful information system.' Jacob replied sarcastically that he'd been compared to a pig due to him not being strong enough.'Host is most welcome.'Jacob almost facepalmed.Had the system not heard the sarcasm in his tone.However, Jacob couldn't deny the fact that there was undeniable truth in the systems words. He had an array of skills that would help him win his way out of any combat, however he lacked any ability in physical combat, in a situation where he couldn't use his skills, he'd be toast to his opponents."What's wrong? Need to take a break?" Nikita laughed, her eyes glimme
True to his words, Kayden didn't hold back in his attacks at all. In less than twenty minutes into their combat, Jacob was already sweating profusely. Staggering backwards Jacob struggled to steady himself as Kayden had landed a fierce hit to his chest that caused him to almost lose his footing."Told ya I won't hold back." Kayden said smirking gesturing for Jacob to come at him. Jacob let out a deep breath, "You are a man of your word." Jacob sighed feeling like he was in for a tough one today. However, the fight sent an exciting challenge into his bones, he'd been dodging Kayden's attacks trying to make some attacks of his own however he didn't get a single move on Kayden, and his blood pounded with adrenaline, not exhausted at all despite being in a fight with a much stronger opponent. Kayden came at him once more, and with an equal amount of energy, Jacob evaded an unexpected kick to the face using that as a chance to throw his own attack which Kayden deflated effortlessly. Ho
Jacob laughed, "I'm sorry, what was that?" "You heard me!" Kayden seemed to be losing his cool at the fact that Jacob was evidently taking this as a joke. "I am Jacob Nicholas." Jacob replied seriously this time. He'd known they had become suspicious of him, but Kayden's question had sounded quite funny to him.Though he wasn't this particular Jacob since he was a transmigrated soul from earth, but he didn't tell any lies, he was Jacob Nicholas whether in his past or present. Kayden sent a glance towards Nikita who was on the other side of the room and for some reason she nodded at Kayden to which he frowned then returned his gaze back to Jacob. "Hmm, of course you are..." Kayden began slowly strolling around the cell his eyes showing contemplation as he spoke, "You lost your parents, frightened by this intimidating world filled with powerful people while you were a nobody, you're the perfect target for a force looking for gullible little kids to manipulate and pull in as a weapon
