2024-10-29 19:42:56The screen dissolved and Shawn returned to his present moment. He stared at the knife for quite some time before coming to a decision.
“Father once said that true healing could make a person immortal, even the cut-off limbs can be healed. Is my healing the same?” He wondered as a crazy idea popped up in his head but he still hesitated.
“I already died once. Why should I be scared of losing a limb? Black Heart won't be scared.” he muttered as he decided to go through with his test.
He took the knife and cut off one of his fingers. Even though he felt some pain, it was nothing compared to the pain he felt when he died. It felt rather soothing and bearable for him.
His severed finger was still lying on the ground but another finger had grown up in its place, which was just like the old one. It only took a minute for it to happen.
“This is so amazing,” he commented as his ocean eyes sparkled.
“It had to be, for me to still be alive. This should be the reason I'm still living.”
«Tsk! Host was injected with the revitalization serum, advanced healing serum, and Immortality elixir before Host regained his lost life.» The system explained in a mocking tone.
Shawn thought about it and chose to believe in the system. That can only be the reason he got this healing power, it was granted by the system. He looked down at the knife which was still dripping blood in his hand.
He was just about to throw away the knife when he noticed that the knife had started decaying already. He waited until it was destroyed. Within moments, the knife turned to dust.
“This? The power of decaying? Mother's power?” Shawn exclaimed as he stared at the ashes of the knife. He had another power? What was happening? His shock only grew stronger.
“I have both Physical and Elemental powers? I'm I a warlock?” Shawn muttered, then tears spilt from his eyes, paired with a soft smile.
It had been his dream to be a Warlock. He wished to be like his father ever since he began to hear stories about him.
He still remembered the moment he first heard about Warlocks. It was his mother who had taught him about this. She told him there were many Variants in this world but very few Warlocks. To be a Warlock, one needed to have more than one power of each type; Physical and Elemental. Even his mother was not a Warlock. She was only a sorcerer as she had two elemental powers and no physical. After hearing how great his father was for being a Warlock, he started desiring the same.
His dream was finally complete, albeit he had no one to share it with. The people he wanted to show it to were already dead. He had no family left. He couldn't help but drop to his knees as tears filled his eyes. He stared at his hands for quite some time. His vision was already blurry because of the tears. His face was full of emotions. He looked into the distant horizon as he said
“Thank you for the gifts, father, and mother. Although you made me capable of living, I'm sorry but I won't be walking on the path that you chose. I am sure if you guys were here today, you too would want the same for me.” he stayed in that position for close to ten minutes before he stood up.
“Azazel. I want to know how I will be able to grow stronger!” Shawn spoke out loud to the system.
«Host does not need to yell to get my attention. Telepathic communication is possible.» the system responded in his head.
“Fine! How do I grow stronger?” Shawn repeated the question in his mind.
«It's simple. The host has to have a goal for himself. Host's goals must lead to world domination. The system will aid the Host to grow stronger by assigning tasks related to the Host's goals. Every task completion gets awarded Havoc points. Havoc points can be used to strengthen Host.» the system replied.
“Okay. What's next?” Shawn asked but the system didn't reply, instead, words and numbers appeared in front of Shawn.
«This is Host's Standardized Test of Advancement and Talents or STATs for short.» The system explained. Shawn stared at the words and he marveled at what he saw.
«Ding!

Shawn read it over again just to be sure he wasn't dreaming. One had to know that an average human had the strength and speed of 40 to 60, while Variants had from 70 to 150. Why was his own different?
“Azazel? Any explanation?” Shawn asked the system.
«Due to the revitalization serum, Host's body had been cleared of all impurities, therefore unlocking most of the hidden skills inside of Host.» the system replied and went silent again.
“So I always had these powers? but they were just locked,” he said and then looked himself over.
“I have to leave here.”

Shawn continued walking for over seven hours before he saw the nearest town. His stomach had started growling long ago; now that a town was here, it growled more. It was as if it was telling Shawn to eat.He entered the town. There was still the lab's patient robe on his body which looked even dirtier as if he was a beggar. He tried to look for a place to get something to eat.Seeing a small restaurant after searching for a long time, he decided to enter the place.As soon as he stepped inside the restaurant, he attracted the attention of the waiter.“What do you need, boy? This is not a place for kids to enter. If you don't have money, then scram out of here!” the waiter of the small restaurant told Shawn as he walked towards him.Due to malnutrition and lack of sleep, Shawn looked so scrawny and a bit small, unlike kids his age.“I need food,” Shawn said to the waiter, but the guy refused even to listen.“Can a beggar like you even have money? Scram out before I cut your legs!” the

The ash fell on the ground and covered the floor. If the people here hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the ash lying in Shawn's feet happened to be a young living man until a minute ago.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Ignoring the people, Shawn gazed at his hand as he muttered“Strengthening?”He could feel that his body had more strength than he had before he died. Not only was he able to toss the waiter like he was a toy, but what happened after that also proved the same thing. He realized that his strength was much higher than the man's since he couldn't even feel any resistance from the man.He hadn't tested it before, but now he realized something. This power of strength, wasn't it something his father had before? If so, why wasn't it recorded in his Stats?“Azazel!

The ones who hadn't noticed his wounds heal also saw him stand up suddenly. Their laughter was replaced with dread.“Wh.. what? Can he even heal from that? It's impossible!” someone spoke on behalf of everyone as the table turned yet again.Once again, the fear chained the hearts of people as they realized that the man they faced wasn't a normal Variant, but something else entirely. They had never heard of a Variant who could heal himself.Just what was he exactly? How could he heal himself? Was he even a human?Questions piled up inside their minds, making their thoughts go haywire, but they couldn't find any possible answers to satisfy their piqued curiosity.Shawn looked at the man who had fired the shot and began striding towards him.Big Joe was stunned to see Shawn alive and moving as if nothing happened. Before that, he didn't feel scared, but now? He wasn't only feeling scared, he was feeling a chill run down his spine as his feet froze in place. But he was too stubborn to giv

Everyone was dead except one person. Only a single person remained in the restaurant, which was filled with dead bodies and ashes. The slaughter Shawn had committed was frightening, but he didn't feel even the slightest remorse. He had just killed a lot of people but he didn't regret it in the least. He didn't feel anything. His heart was utterly emotionless now, and his face showed the same. He looked exactly how the Vengeance god Black Heart looks when he kills; Ruthless and Domineering.His blank stare scanned the place and stopped right at the last person who remained.“Stop! I have already called the Anti-Rogue Variant! The ARV will be here to catch you soon; you should escape while you still can. If you waste time on killing me, you won't be able to escape in time!” the man spoke, trembling, but his warning didn't stop Shawn.Seeing Shawn not stopping, the man became even more nervous. He couldn't find anything else that could protect him, but he thought of giving it one last sh

System welcomes Host back to the present world.»Shawn still couldn't comprehend what he had just witnessed. Vengeance god Black Heart had been betrayed by his allies, he was stabbed in the back and tossed down to his death, but before that, he had sent the system to someone else; Him.“Truly there is none I can trust. Be it humans, variants and gods.” Shawn said with a stoic expression.His gaze roamed around the entire interior of the restaurant. As far as he could see, there were only ashes and dead bodies left. Only red and grey could be seen all around him. He lowered his head and noticed the robe he was wearing. It was the same one he had received in the facility. The only difference was that the mostly white robe was now covered with holes and bloodstains.Gazing at all the bodies lying all around the room, Shawn's eyes were filled with the same blank, emotionless expression. Not even an ounce of regret flashed through them as he maintained a stoic expression.Even after sweepi

Shawn left from the South exit of the town in the direction of Jacksonville Florida without looking back. He was determined to find his home even if it meant searching the whole city.He was unaware that a few minutes after he left, three helicopters infiltrated the sky, flying in from the north. The helicopters stopped near the restaurant and remained stable in the air, fifteen feet above the ground.The helicopter's doors swung open as around twenty people jumped out without any harnesses, sticking to a flawless landing. The way they did it showed that it was a daily routine for them to jump out like that. One of them stood a few steps ahead of the others, facing the restaurant. From the aura he emitted, it signified him as the leader.The man seemed to be in his late twenties. His head was full of short flaming red wavy hair that scattered around his forehead. They made him stand out amongst the crowd because of his unique colour.Wearing a long black coat on top of his black pants

Ratatatata!Zip! Poof!Gunshots rang in the air as my team and I engaged in a firefight against the Somalia militia troops. Someone must have leaked out information as it seems these guys were waiting for us, and we walked right into an ambush.“I fucken knew this will happen! Never trust the Nigerian government! Bunch of saboteurs!” Risky cursed as he swooped down beside me to dodge a bullet. I had a hunch something like this would turn up, but I didn't expect it to reach such an extent. These Somalians brought a battalion to deal with just seven people... Who the hell comes with three hundred soldiers with seven ex-soldiers?“Father! Shall we retreat!?” Erik's voice sounded via the airpod we use.“Negative! Proceed as planned. I will draw their fire, Starlet you do the same, the rest of you plant those bombs in the places we've marked.” I said and moved towards a few soldiers who were busy with setting up for the mortar attack.“I will start by taking out that mortar! you lot better

Vin Fuery's red eyes were fixed on the restaurant all the time as if he was trying to scan inside the restaurant through the concrete walls.“Let's not waste any more time. Time to get to work. We have a rogue variant to catch.” he commanded as he pushed the door before stepping inside the restaurant. The others followed suit.“Looks like we are already late.” a man mumbled. He was in his late twenties and also next in line in command after Vin Fuery.“Florence, we have to do a clean sweep of this area.” Vin Fuery said to the man who had mumbled earlier. Vin Fuery had also noticed the bodies and his eyes turned dark, followed by an unreadable expression on his face.“There seems to be no one alive in here.” Vin Fuery muttered under his breath.Sigh!He walked over to one of the bodies and examined it closely.“As expected. This is the work of a variant and a strong one at that.” Fuery said as he pointed at the man's broken ribcage.“But why would a strong variant cause such a massacre

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."

“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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Chapter 219 : Emotionless
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
