Despite the confusion and events that had happened, Adam couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss with this child, Adamax, whose body now housed his soul.The mirror incident had been strange enough. But now, he felt as though there was some kind of blockage in his talent, preventing him from accessing it in its fullest form.While it's true that having math as a talent can be challenging, Adam found some advantages to it, making it not so bad after all. Moreover, the fact that his talent had affected everyone in Ulaetsria made it even more evident that his talent was quite dominant, even though he had no clue of what the kid actually did.Secondly, in a world where math and science were somewhat foreign concepts, Adam's talent was certainly an advantage. However, the blockage he felt was preventing him from accessing the full potential of his talent. Without the ability to break through this blockage, he was limited in his use of his talent.But what could be the cause o
Bleak!The tablonnet suddenly glowed brightly once more, and the padlock symbol appeared to hover in mid-air above its glass screen. The tablonnet was locked, and could not be accessed until it was unlocked. The glowing symbol almost seemed like it was taunting Adamax, challenging him to unlock the device and access its contents."That's not a problem," Adamax muttered to himself as he made his way to the bed, where he had dropped the tablonnet. He reached down and picked it up, turning it over in his hands as he pondered how to unlock it. He knew there must surely be a way.Without a second thought, Adamax set down his notepad and pen, picking up the tablonnet once more. In his previous life, he had been an expert at unlocking electronic devices, and he knew that this one would be no different. He would have it open in mere minutes.In his previous life, Adam had worked alongside Mr. Kent at a technology company. Mr. Kent was known for his temper, and whenever one of the company's
It seems that everything about Adamax 001 was centered around him being labeled as "useless." There were no details about his family, school, or even his face. Only his age and the mention of him being useless along with his talent were present. “What sort of fuckery is this?” Adamax blurted out, his voice sounding like a bratty kid throwing a tantrum. The only useful piece of information available there was a series of numbers: 002-501-670. But it wasn't just a random string of numbers - the word "day" was written beneath it. So, perhaps it was a date? That seemed like the most likely possibility he could think of. Adamax tapped the search icon and spent a few minutes typing out various combinations of letters and numbers until he was able to match the code he'd seen. He typed in "002-501-670," and pressed enter. Tap! With a decisive tap, Adamax pressed the search button. The page took a little longer to load this time, but eventually, the results appeared. “Now, this is a piece
In a secluded and mysterious part of Ulaetsria, two men stood facing each other, their clothes and demeanor as different as night and day. They looked like rivals, their gazes locked in a fierce and unyielding stare. Tension hung in the air, thick and heavy, as if a storm was brewing.The smaller man, not so built and not very imposing in stature, was dressed entirely in white, the fabric glowing even in the dim light. Every piece of his clothing, from his tunic to his pants to his gloves, was as white as fresh-fallen snow.In stark contrast, the larger man who was tall and muscular, had his broad shoulders seeming to span the entire room. He towered over the man in white, casting him in shadow. His entire outfit was as dark as midnight, the fabric seeming to absorb any light that touched it. Even in the dimness of the room, the man in black was impossible to miss.The man in black spoke, his voice like gravel grinding together, "Your time is up. I've given you more than enough cha
“How did he not die!” The words like a Bang! hit hard into Adam's head, hurting his brain and echoing in his ears. It wasn't a question whoever spoke those words asked, it was a sentence born out of shock, infused with a wave of anger and a rising disgust.If it hadn't been for the fact that Adamax had experienced this before, he might not have known what was happening or where he was. But the sound of the voice, the familiar tone of the words, told him everything he needed to know, which was that he was at school again, and his other mother had done something to him once more.Adamax mumbled to himself, "I need to figure out how she does this. How does she put me to sleep without me even realizing it?" But then, reflecting on what had happened before now, he remembered that he had been about to be tracked the day before. He was alone in his room, trying to destroy the tablonnet, when he heard his mother's voice calling out to him. Her footsteps grew louder as she approached his do
Adam's heart began to pound as his mind raced with possibilities. If the Pops and the Second Russell were here, that meant they knew the person they were tracking had some connection to this dump of a school. He mumbled under his breath, "Oh no, this can't be happening."Adam needed something to distract himself from the panic rising in his chest. He had to get out of this classroom, and fast.He stood up, intending to make an excuse to leave, when Kiran bellowed, "You there! Sit down! Where are you going? Don't tell me you have done something again?"Desperate to reply to Kiran, Adam blurted out, "I just need to go to the bathroom, that's all."Kiran narrowed his eyes at Adam, seemingly unconvinced. "I don't believe you. You're a conniving little sneak. And the fact that you cheated death countless times and still counting, is evidence."Somehow, Adam found this useful as a distraction. The tension between the two was broken when the classroom door flew open and people burst in. Ev
"Now then, where shall we begin?" Sir Leon said, his words slow and drawn out, his voice hoarse and icy. He walked with a heavy step around the room before stopping in front of Adamax and Talia, then planted himself in the space between their chairs.Sir Leon then turned to Adamax, bending down so that their faces were level. In a grave tone, he said, "You. Let's start with you. If there's no progress with your talent, then..." Adamax couldn't stop himself from trembling as the fear he felt for this man reached new heights. In all his lives, past and present, he'd never felt this level of terror. Sir Leon was indeed an intimidating man. Despite his fear, Adamax only managed to break out in a cold sweat under the imposing gaze of the man behind the large, bug-like glasses.Just as Sir Leon was about to finish his statement, a banging thunderous alarm sounded from the four corners of the classroom, its purple light blinking. "Badrum, badrum, badrum, badrum, badrum."Adamax froze to t
Adam was so shocked that he hadn't even had time to process what was happening when he felt someone push him from behind. “Whoop!”He was falling from the top balcony of his hotel booked room, and he could see the ground getting closer and closer. He had no time to think, no time to plan, no time to react. All he could do was fall.As he fell, a thousand questions raced through his mind. Who had pushed him? How had they gotten into his hotel room? And why had they done it? But he had no time to ponder these questions, because he was plummeting towards the ground at a terrifying speed. He was certain that he was going to be seriously injured, or worse, die!As he plummeted towards the ground, he heard the horn of a truck blaring nearby. “Pum! Pum!!”He thought it might be a mirage, a hallucination brought on by the fear and confusion of the moment. But as he fell closer to the ground, the sound grew louder. He was suddenly struck by a horrifying realization - he was going to be hit
