"I don't talk to dogs!" Elisi arrogantly replied as she started using her ability to attack Lucifer again with an Energy Ball. A small energy ball started taking form. Lucifer didn't let her attack this time, though. He raised a small stone that was lying on the ground and tossed it at the energy ball that was taking shape to test something. He had noticed that the energy ball blew up whenever it touched something. Was that its weakness? He wanted to test.Elisi instantly cancelled her ability as she realized what he was trying to do. She also dodged to the side to escape the stone.The Energy Ball acted like a missile. It created a blast whenever it landed on Someone or something, but it also had a limitation. As long as something hit it when it was mid-flight, it would be treated as a landing, and the attack would blow up. That was its strength while also being its weakness at the same time. If the stone had landed on the energy ball when it was near her, it would have injured them
Lucifer was impulsive, but he was not stupid. His impulse got the better of him in most situations, but he understood his powers as well as he could at this point, and he knew how to utilize them in a battle to his advantage.As he saw the sand shield appear, he knew that someone was blocking him. It was either that girl, and she had double Awakening. The reason she screamed with another person's name was to throw Lucifer off to the wrong trail.The other option was that it was another person. He looked around and didn't take long to find that person. A dark-haired young man was standing there. He had his palms pointed towards the sand shield. It was probably his ability that saved her.Lucifer knew that resisting the force of the girl would make things more complicated. He thought of something and gave up fighting her force. He started flying towards her instead, supported by the same force.He planned to use this force to get to the girl faster and kill her. Unfortunately, This didn
In a superb football field. Well-trimmed grass, sunny weather, fans screaming in ecstasy to show their support to the individual teams, flags waving in the air. Twenty-two men clad in two different uniforms were running around the field doing their best to outdo the opponent team.Wardens F.C. team were known for their gold uniform, while their opponent, the Crowders wore their signature Red and Black.Zachary Bemba was a striker for the Wardens F.C. and right now he had managed to get the ball for the first time since the match began.“Zachary has just gotten the ball at his feet, will he be able to cope with his knee injury?” a male voice was heard through the speaker of the soccer field.“We all know that he won't score, I wonder what the coach was thinking when he put Zachary Bemba on the pitch.” another male voice came from the speaker.Biff Bradley and Antonio Espera. The two best commentators in all of TSF (Tron Sports Federation).Tron Empire's most valuable sport was soccer,
Zachary Bemba was woken from adeep slumber by the crowing of arooster. His eyes abruptly rolledopen, glazed over with the remnants of a dream or rather anightmare.Zachary was first aware of the foul polluted air with a stale fragrance. It was nothing similar to the coolness of the air and its fresh fragrance he'd grown accustomed to in the big city of Alistair of the Tron Empire.He was lying on an abnormallysmall foam which didn't seem to be the same as the king-size bed the TSF provided all its players. It wasvery uncomfortable and hurt hisback when he stirred.Zachary blinked as his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting in the room before propping himself up and orienting himself to the surroundings.He was in a room with worn-out brick walls that had holes in it. Small sewed-ragged curtains hid the shabby small glass window on one side of the cramped chamber-just leaving a shy peek of the dirt-filled road beyond. One wooden seat and a roughly made table stood at the foot of hi
Zachary blinked as his eyes adjusted. He gazed at thetranslucent blue book, wide-eyed,mouth agape, and face frozen inwonderment.Zachary had read many systems-tagged web novels before he'dreturned to his past. He couldinstantly comprehend what washappening. He was sure that hemight be acquiring a levelling-upsystem' like all those protagonistsin the novels. That was the dreamcheat for any passionate fan ofweb novels.The system could help him level uphis soccer skills and make him astar player within a few years if itwas anything like in those novels.Since he was injured, this was thethe first time Zachary felt optimisticabout pursuing his dream ofbecoming an internationallyrecognized soccer player.With a system, he could becomeone of the best players in Tron Empire or even in the whole world.He could then easily acquire mansions, supermodels, posh and big cars, without ever resorting to robbery and selling drugs like in his past life. The sky was the only limit
Zachary was jogging at a steadypace. He was mindful of neither the ever-present potholes in the dirt roads of the Kinsh town nor the mud heaps brought about by the rain of the previous day.He hummed the Chris Brown song(Don't Wake Me Up) that was supposed to be released two yearslater.Zachary smiled softly. He was in a good mood. Above him loomed the blue sky with just a few stratus clouds making their unhurried way toward the town hall. The sun was already a golden ball of yellow above, promising more heat as the day progressed. All in all, he could not have asked for better weather to complete the system mission.It had been six days since Zachary returned to the past, and he was very close to completing the tasks in his first system mission.He had been exercising like there was no tomorrow in his vocabulary.With the Superstar system, he hadthe motivation to work hard andthus never once thought aboutgiving up when the going gottough.Every morning, he would start witha r
Even in his previous lifetime,Zachary, as a general rule, hid his emotions. He figured they were intel he should not hand over, and so at all times, his face was blank.But today was different. Zachary had just received the first mission rewards from the system, and excitement poured out of him like sunshine through fine white linen; he glowed from the inside out. It felt like every fibre of his being was vibrating with anticipation when he looked at the virtual screen before him. He first rubbed his palms together and sat down on his bed before tapping on the system shop tab that was still blinking red.[Ding!SYSTEM SHOP->Gift Packs (temporarily unlocked) (1 msg)->Purchase Skills (locked)->Purchase Elixirs (locked)->Lottery Coupons (locked)->lnventory (temporarily unlocked)(1 msg)]The Gift-Pack tab was blinking red,and Zachary right away extendedhis right forefinger and tapped onit. For the first time, he noticed thatthe screen felt tangible against histouch but did not
Hope bloomed inside Zachary afterreading the words below the superstar skill card.Without a moment of hesitation, he clicked on the image of the skill card filling up the screen and learned the Zinedine visual skill.He was looking forward to how it could improve his budding football career.Instantly, he felt a pang ofheadache assaulting his brain as the system implanted new information into his mind. But a while later, his head cleared, and he noticed that there seemed to be no perceivable transformation within his body or mind.He thus opened the user-stats tabthat was already blinking red onthe system user interface to understand the changes in his stats.[Ding!Host Stats:->Physical Fitness: B-->Soccer Technique: B+->Game Intelligence: A+->Mental Ability and Mindset: C-->X-Factors: F>Superstar skill: 1(1 msg)]Zachary's soccer technique had once again levelled up from the grading of B- to B+ in a single evening. His game intelligence had jumped from the C+ grade and wa
IT ENDS HERE"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The
“Hey you! Get out of here before I do something nasty!” the toy salesman shouted at Lucifer when he saw the teenage boy staring at the glass case. Lucifer paid him no heed and the man's face twisted in a grimace."Guards! This kid is not listening. Take this useless kid and throw him out!" The salesman said as he looked towards the guards."I am not useless!" Lucifer suddenly roared as he was again called useless. Black Thunder started cracking around him, shocking even the salesman. His voice seemed to contain a mysterious power that made it as intimidating as the roar of a lion. Not only the salesman but even the red-haired man was shocked as he looked back."Get back! He is an Awakened One! Move back; he is losing..." The red-haired man let out in warning, but it was too late. Before he could even complete his sentence, he saw Lucifer holding the neck of the man and crushing it entirely.The guards were horrified as they saw the salesman being killed. They raised their guns and aim
"Don't laugh at him. He might be homeless orphan who found some old clothes of someone in a dumpster or something, the woman replied to her son."There are many like him. Just ignore him." She continued walking holding her son's arm. while Lucifer heard the child's words and gazed at his clothes. It was right. He did think he looked odd. He once again shifted his blank gaze towards the child- sİzed mannequin that had clothed that was going to fit him perfectly. He started walking towards the shop instead. Just as he was walking towards the doors, another person was walking in his direction.It was a young red-haired man who was wearing a green t-shirt and black pants. He had donned a black coat over his clothes that had a Red Eagle Symbol on the chest. The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties only.Lucifer stepped closer to the shop and reached out his hand to open the door, but to his surprise, the doors slid to the side on their own as soon as he got near. Tilting his head slightly,
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, giving the world some warmth. Refreshing winds were flowing through the city of Ikrego, brushing against Lucifer's face as he reached the new city. The city seemed a bit bigger than anything he had seen before. In fact, it happened to be even biggerbthan the Legion City, which was the largest city he had seen before.There were beautiful houses everywhere. Even though Lucifer hadn't stepped inside the city, he could still see the beautifulbstructures of the city. There were also two tall statues placed at the entrance of the city of Ikrego, which seemed to look like humans. Lucifer didn't know about this, but the statues belonged to the previous heads of the Red Eagles Guild, which had its headquarters inside the city.Red Eagles was a guild that consisted of Hunters who went inside Dungeons to keep the Monster Index in control. Even though it was a big group and part of the Hunter Association, it hadn't always been an organization. In fact, it
Xander and Flourance were shocked when they saw the footage of the inhumane torture on a fifteen-year-old kid. They could see the boy's body twisting and turning in pain before he ultimately stopped moving.Xander was clenching his fist uncontrollably. Flourance was also shocked."This is torture! How can they be so inhumane to a little child?" Flourance commented."So they killed the boy, and now he's back for revenge. There is no Dark Variant Uprising angle in this anymore. It's all a tragedy made by humans." he further added, still enraged."Because of their stupidity, they put the whole world in danger." Xander hadn't spoken anything. But his face was saying everything. He seemed enraged, as if he wanted to destroy something.However, something happened. All his anger disappeared as a calm and serene emotion overtook him. His other ability had started acting. It was his Emotion Control that kept his emotion in control and prevented him from losing emotions whenever he was about t
Drak instantly opened his eyes and looked at Xander as he heard the words. It was as if his pained nerves were pressed. He also noticed a picture in Xander's hands was that of his sister and his mother."Are you threatening me?" Drak asked, frowning."How low can you fall? Going after my family?""You said you don't care if the world is destroyed. I'm just reminding you. If the world is destroyed, then don't forget, your family is a part of this world too. It would not only affect you and me but millions of people like her too." Xander replied calmly."I read your file, and I know about your family. The Beta team had also managed to locate your family when they were trying to find you," he further continued, ignoring the question as he walked closer to Drak to help him better see the image.Drak reached out his hand to hold the image, but before his hand could touch the picture, it was burned to ashes in the flames that appeared in Xander's hand out of nowhere."Do you want to know ab
The silence in Ayn's office was ultimately broken by her sigh itself."Alright. I'Il allow you to meet him. I won't let him leave the cell, though. You can take a laptop to his cell and have him help you." She stopped using her powers. Xander also stopped at the same time."He would not help you for no reason, though," She muttered as she placed her fingers on her chin."Leave that to me. I'll handle that. All you need to do is let me enter his cell and turn off the cameras for as long as I'm inside, " Xander said with a subtle smile on hisface."Alright. " Ayn tapped a button that was on her table while she simultaneously opened a drawer, bringing a laptop out of it."One of my men will take you to the cell. I will turn off the cameras from here after you get in the cell. Here, you can use this laptop. It has a masked ID; the Military won't be able to track it even if they find the hack, " She said as she gave Xander the laptop."I appreciate it. " Suddenly, there was a knock on the
After a few minutes, Lucifer picked up the last piece as he finally moved. He started walking towards the man who had been trying to drag his frail and injured body away from Lucifer. Unfortunately, despite Lucifer giving him so much time, he wasn't able to get much farther. He could only drag himself for a few meters. Lucifer easily closed in on the distance."Forgive me! Please forgive me! I'll be a good man. I won't do it again. I swear on my life."Gazing down at the man who was holding his hands, begging Lucifer to free him. Seeing no change in Lucifer's expression despite his begging, he changed his approach.'He's a kid. AlI kids love their parents,' he thought as he decided what to do."Think about your parents. What would they think if they knew their son was a murderer? Let me go. Walk on the righteous path and make your parents proud! "Albeit, his words fell on deaf ears, it seemed. Lucifer wanted to do it the same way since the man wanted to use his feet to show his crude
Even though he had S-Rank abilities, it wasn't as easy. Despite having the same S-Rank Super Strength, his strength was nowhere near the level of his father. He didn't even have one percent strength of his father just because his control and experience were lacking. It was a newly gained power.Generally, he shouldn't have been able to use even a fraction of this power without training, but surprisingly he could. It was unclear why it was that way. Maybe because he had seen his parents use their powers previously when they trained. Or perhaps it was something else.Despite only having the fractional strength of his father, his Super Strength was way stronger than any normal human can hope to comprehend, which only showed how strong his Father must have been. That was why his father was called the Strongest Warlock. He was just in a different realm altogether.Shawn was still sitting in a forest, cooking a beast that he had hunted. There was still half a day of distance between him and
