The school bus whizzed past Jacob as he alighted. Clutching his schoolbag tighter, he walked rapidly towards his apartment. Since he lived alone, he just trudged heavily towards the room and flopped onto the bed.His parents died from a terrible car accident when he was 12; and since then, he had withdrawn from the world, just living like an automated robot. Since his parents were fairly well off, they left some amount of money for him before they died. Sighing, Jacob walked tiredly to the bathroom.Having showered, he microwaved some food and sat in front of his computer screen, eating while scrolling through the news.'THUD', a loud sound jolted Jacob awake, orientating himself, he realised he fell asleep in front of his computer.'THUD', he heard the sound again with some voices"Do you think he lives here??", a hoarse voice croaked"Yeah, I saw him entering earlier", another voice replied.Realising something was wrong, Jacob stood up immediately, the hastiness of his actions knocking over the chair he was sitting on, making a loud noise.'SWOOSH', Jacob dashed towards the window, planning to jump.'BANG', the door to his room was kicked open and a burly looking man in a ski mask walked in, holding a pistol."I wouldn't do that if I were you", the man said, pointing his gun towards Jacob."Who are you?", Jacob asked, his voice jarringly cold."Me?", the man asked, mockery apparent in his voice"I guess you can call me the messenger of Death", the man continued."Why are you wasting time talking to this trash??", a second man entered, also in ski masks.Putting everything together, Jacob realised that these two men in front of him were probably paid to kill him, but he just couldn't wrap his head around the reason why someone would want to kill him; he was just an orphan leading a boring life."Who sent you guys?", Jacob asked.The man that called Jacob trash got irritated, probably because Jacob's expression was calm, without any hint of fear."You have no right to know who we are or who we work for", the man snorted coldly, pulling out his own pistol and pointing it at Jacob.'These men are trained', Jacob thought; 'although both of these men entered casually, the man earlier is blocking the window side and the second man is blocking the door', Jacob thought. There was no escape."Tsk tsk, what a pity, you and your parents were supposed to die together", the man in front of the window said. Jacob's expression finally changed, from cold indifference to rage."You killed my parents??", Jacob asked, his voice unsteady from rage.The second man, finally satisfied with the change of Jacob's expression, looked at Jacob in the eyes and pulled the trigger."Bang", a muffled sound echoed followed by the dropping of a body."Let's get out of here", looking at Jacob's body, the second man spat exiting the room. The man by the window took one last look at Jacob's body and also left the room.On the cold floor, Jacob's laid, losing consciousness."I wish I could know who ordered this", was Jacob's last thought before he died.

Monsters?!In a certain hospital, in a certain world, there laid a young man on an hospital bed; the man looked to be around 18 years of age, blonde hair, blue eyes, bushy eyebrows, double eyelids, straight nose and a sharp jaw. He would have been considered handsome, except for his extremely pale skin and dead looking eyes. "Hmmmn?, thought I died", the young man muttered. Looking at himself, Jacob suddenly had a spark of enlightenment; "I transmigrated, didn't I?", he muttered again.As an average Joe, he had read many novels when he was bored, so the idea of transmigration wasn't new to him.Wondering about the identity of the person whose body he jumped into, Jacob suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain;Restraining the urge to scream out, Jacob digested the memories of the person whose body he was inhabiting.The young man's name was also Jacob Nicholas, also an average Joe, but their circumstances were quite different.The world which Jacob[New] lived in was different.

As he had read many novels, he was not new to the system theory, bit he just couldn't believe he could actually get a system."Errr, what can you do??", Jacob asked, confused as to why the system did not explain it's purpose.**Replying to host; System's purpose is to help host Awaken**, the system replied.Getting excited, Jacob asked the system "To help me awaken my own magic??"**No**.

QuestPanting, Jacob ran as fast as he could, he could still feel the tremors going through the ground.Seeing a cave nearby, he dashed into it, staying as still as possible. A few moments later, the cause of the tremors were seen; it was a pack of wolves, all Rank D. Grinding to a halt at the entrance of the cave, the Monsters stiffened, not daring to enter the cave; it was obvious they were scared of something inside the cave.Hiding inside the cave, Jacob peered outside and seeing the behaviour of the Monsters, Jacob shivered, knowing that whatever was inside the cave was monstrous, as it could stop a pack of D-ranked Monsters from even daring to breathe loudly in front of the cave.After a few moments, the Monsters all retreated, without even a single glance backwards. After a tough fight, Jacob was able to defeat the Three-Clawed ground rat, and directly levelled up to Level 2.He continued to hunt till he reached Level 5 and got a D ranked skill; the Shadow Conceal; having fulf

Awakening Test "Kid, what were you doing in Shimmering Woods this morning??";Hearing that, Jacob was stunned, thinking quickly, he thought of what to say."He's a kid, Kayden, maybe he just tried to get revenge for his parent's death by killing some monsters, right Jacob??", Nikita asked, looking at Jacob in the eyes."I went there to train", Jacob replied."See, I told you", Nikita said, supporting Jacob "Hmph, train??, even though it's a controlled hunting ground with the lowest of Monsters, it's still not something an Unawakened like you can train in", Kayden said derisively, "Even if we accept the fact that you went to train, why did you sneak in??";"I sneaked in because I knew that I wouldn't be allowed entry without an Awakened's badge"; an Awakened's badge was a symbol of honour given to every Awakened. It also has the Awakened's rank on it. The higher the rank, the more privileges an Awakened would enjoy."The fact that you sneaked in is enough to brand you a spy, and sinc

Talented "Are you ready to get awakened??", Nikita's voice resounded through Jacob's mind. Looking at the large building in front of him, Jacob knew that this was his starting point. Taking another deep breath, Jacob nodded, his expression gradually getting calm."Then follow me", Nikita said, and led the way.Trailing silently behind her, Jacob looked at everything they passed by, all the beeping sounds of automated machines serving as music ushering him into the world of Awakeneds.He could not help but feel a little self-conscious, because every other person passing by looked sophisticated, while looked like a typical high schooler from earth.Shrugging it off, Jacob shifted his gaze forward, but soon came to a halt; for he couldn't find Nikita anywhere. Looking around in a panicked manner, he still couldn't find her anywhere. Coming to the realization that this might be a test, he calmed down. Looking around one more time, he asked the system in his mind; 'System, is there any tr

Training Seeing the notification, Jacob had many questions, the connection he felt, did it mean he could have awoken more than two elements, and who was the unknown entity that cut off his connection with the orb. He wanted to ask the system for clarification, but he decided to put that on hold, for Nikita and the attendant were looking at him like he was an alien."Oh My God, Double Awakened??, do you know what it means??", Nikita asked, rather agitatedly."No, not really", Jacob replied with a shrug."Of course you don't, the only other person in this city who is a Double Awakened is the City Lord. And the reason why he is the City Lord is because he is a Double Awakened", Nikita explained. "Really", Jacob asked, stunned."Stay here, I have to inform my uncle about this", Nikita said and ran out of the Test centre.Left with the attendant, Jacob asked him;" Who is her uncle??""Her uncle is the vice guild leader, the Guild leader is usually travelling around, so most of the hunter

End Of Training Finally out of the White Hunters guild, Jacob heaved a sigh of relief after he got home. He couldn't help but get the nagging feeling that the White Hunters guild were hiding something from him. Deciding to focus on his strength for now, Jacob asked the system; "What happened back there, was I about to awaken another element??"**Host's Level is currently too low to access the information**Sighing, Jacob shook his head, he expected that; " Who was the unknown entity that cut off my connection with the orb??"**Host's Level is currently too low to access the information**Exasperated, Jacob asked angrily, "Is there any information I have access to??"**Host has access to the skills related to the elements host awakened**"Well, at the least, I got something", Jacob said comforting himself."What are the skills??"**Skills related to the Shadow Element:Shadow HopShadow Conceal[Advanced]Shadow CloneShadow Hop: This is a skill made solely for assassination, it allows

TianisStepping into the White Hunters guild, Jacob headed directly towards the Training Centre of the White Hunters guild. By the time Jacob got there, the Training Centre was already packed full of people. Looking around, he saw the Twins waving him over. Arriving in front of the twins, Jacob nodded as a form of greeting. Kayden nodded in reply, and Nikita smiled at him."Do you know what Tianis's Awakened element Is??", Nikita asked."No, I don't need to know it", Jacob replied. "Wow, what confidence ", an unknown voice remarked; Looking for the owner of the voice, Jacob saw a sturdy young man smiling at him. The man looked more like a bodybuilder from Jacob's real world. "Hi, I'm Jason, you're Jacob right??", the man introduced "Yes, I am. Are you an Awakened of the White Hunters guild??", Jacob asked."In a way, he is. He is one of the Heaven Chosens of our White Hunters guild. He is ranked 7th", Nikita replied, cutting off Jason. Hearing that the Heaven's Chosens were ranked

Jacob struggled to move as he watched the group of four walk into the room.Kayden, Lucas, Jason and Devon all walked in like controlled robots without a soul. "Hahaha!" The loud laughter of the undead leader rang in the space of the room.Jacob's eyes had rimmed red and the veins in his hands were already bulging due to his struggling intensely despite the intense pain he was currently experiencing. "Aren't they just beautiful? Human skin has always been too flashy for my taste anyway." The undead leader muttered as he scanned the group once more before he seemed to realize something a thoughtful look crinkling his already crinkled brows, "Wait a minute... wasn't there a girl among you bunch? Why is she not here?" He asked, however, the four remained staring ahead lifelessly, the undead facepalmed, "Ah, I almost forgot you can't speak anymore, you won't even have a will of your own anymore but will only do what I will you to do. Nevermind, the girl probably ran off and left you all

"So it was you all along." Jacob suddenly said, his voice bouncing back from the white walls in the room. The very one they'd been looking for had been before them all along. The leader of the undead that Katerina had told him about was none other than this man. "For the one with the godly bloodline, you are smart, at the same time stupid." The undead man said as he began to pull some wires from the large equipments in the white room, he continued speaking as Jacob watched his actions, "Knowing your friends would die, you gave yourself instead, smart thought, but a stupid move..." The undead tilted his head smirking at Jacob, his grey skin crinkling up. "And you're stupid to think I'll just let your little friends escape just like that." Hearing that, panic was quick to surface in Jacob's eyes, "What did you do to my friends?" Jacob who had been sitting in the chair they bound him in without attempting to fight back began to struggle hearing the others might be in danger."I just s

White hunter's guild; Inside the office of the vice president.The sharp sound of a communication device rang forth, the sound slightly muffled until Thomas Stone, the vice president of the guild picked out the communication device that was stuffed hidden within his drawer."Any updates on what the kids are up to?" He asked the person on the other end."Yes boss, they went into the dustwind village, but the kid with the godly bloodline has been caught, as for the others, they were able to escape.""It doesn't matter, that kid is the one we wanted all along anyway. Master is going to be so pleased with me as I was able to get him what he wants. Those two fools were too hasty, they had the kid right within their grasp but they allowed themselves lose him, this time I'll take the credit for succeeding in attaining master's biggest goal. Make sure the kid is guarded well, he can't escape.""Yes boss." The other person replied before cutting off the communication device. "Soon brother, ve

The endless horde of undead creatures descended upon them like an unstoppable army, rushing out of the tall building towards the group."Damnit! How are they so many?!" Lucas exclaimed."There are too many of them, we can't possibly fight them all." Nikita said."Jacob, try to hold them back with your space ability!" Kayden instructed.Nodding, Jacob prepared his energy.'Space wall!' And immediately, the creatures that were already almost reaching where the group stood seemed to be stopped midair, however they didn't stop clawing and roaring at the invisible barrier in space.Gritting his teeth, Jacob could feel the whole weight of the creatures he was holding back, there were over hundreds of them."I can only hold them for so long, so I hope you all have a good plan." Jacob watched the man who had led them here as he stood amidst the raging horde of undead creatures with an evil smirk on his face."You cannot fight us, the godly bloodline shall be ours!!! We shall unleash chaos u

Strangely, as they walked through the paths within dustwind village, they didn't once come across a single undead. It was as if there were no longer any undeads remaining."Do you think the people behind this moved the undeads elsewhere?" Jason asked Jacob as they were walking a little behind the group. "I can't say, but this all feels suspicious." Jacob muttered."Yeah, there seems to be something fishy, let's stay on high alert." "Che!" A scoff came from behind them, when Jacob turned to look, he saw Lucas walking behind him. "Got something to say?" Jason asked wondering why he'd suddenly scoffed when he'd been silent the whole time."Not to you." Lucas retorted before directing his gaze towards Jacob, "If you're having suspicions, why not take action and find out exactly what's amiss?" After saying that, he increased his pace walking past them both. Jason watched him leave with a weird expression, "Why do I feel like he'd literally kick you in the face if he could?" Jacob sig

"Catch!" Jason playfully threw the communication device towards Jacob from a distance as they all stood at the borders of dustwind village, the first place an undead had been sighted.Jacob accurately caught the device in his hands. As Jason let out a small victory chuckle, he caught the glare Nikita had directed at him, his smile immediately falling. "If you take this as a game beast boy, be ready to become undead food." She spat at him sarcastically. Before moving forward, "Come on Devon," She called the guy who'd been standing beside her.The guy with a feminine demeanor gave Jason a gloating smirk before following behind Nikita closely. "Ugh, I wish I could punch his sissy face." Jason muttered. "Who's he anyway?" Jacob asked having seen Devon for the second time now, the first time being at the guild as he'd always be found hanging around Nikita and some other group of girls at the guild."Miss Nikita's personal assistant." Jason replied still glaring at Devon, "The sissy stic

"Dude, you totally killed it when you destroyed that water dragon and defeated that water element guardian, everyone at the guild have been talking about it non stop!" Jason exclaimed for what seemed like the hundredth time.Two days had passed since Jacob had engaged in that fight, yet not a moment passed by that he didn't hear about it from everyone one else at the guild.Even at this moment, when he was just trying to have a quiet meal at the cafeteria, he could feel the number of gazes directed at him, if they had lasers in their eyes, he'd have been burnt to a crisp by now. He was about to reply to something Jason had said when his eyes fell on Lucy from across the hall, she sighted him too, however she soon looked away making her way towards the counters before she later joined her friends at their table.Jason who had seemingly been rambling followed his gaze to where Lucy was before asking, "Hey what's the deal between you and Lucy anyway, seems like she's been avoiding you."

The dragon came at Jacob with a flashing speed with it's mouth wide open as if ready to devour him."Shit! If that water dragon swallows that kid, he'll drown without a way out!" Soon as that person had spoken, the water dragon's mouth closed on Jacob's body swallowing him whole, all of this happening within just a single second. Loud gasps echoed within the hall before the whole place fell dead silent.Erion was smirking triumphantly as he seemed to manipulate the water dragon to make sure Jacob drowned without an escape within the dragon's stomach. "What in hell's name is that?!" One of the onlookers yelled pointing at the water dragon which had now supposedly devoured Jacob. Within the gigantic water creature's body, a bright light was illuminated until a clear image was formed.Seemingly sitting in a cross legged position, Jacob still had his eyes closed as if concentrating and gaining an enlightenment. "What? How is that possible? How is that kid not drowning?" Erion stared

The guardians began laughing among themselves seeing the state Jacob was in."So much for a double awakened, you're just a helpless little kid to our might after all." The commander of the guardians said in a ridiculing tone.Just at the moment the guardians were beginning to gloat about their might, a stifling pressure, that seemed to come from a very mighty figure descended upon them.Taken aback, their eyes widened as they felt themselves having trouble even breathing due to the suffocating pressure. "What...the..." Baron, the commander of the guardians managed to choke out as he stared at Jacob with surprise filled eyes. After a short amount of time, Jacob withdrew his might skill he had used on the guardians knowing it would drain too much of his mana if he kept it going, hoping that would be enough to let them know to leave him alone."That kind of power isn't something that should come out of a little kid like you!" Baron's eyes flashed with greed, "What great treasure are yo
