In a dark alley, a battered trashcan lay bare as its contents were littered on the tarred floor, four unconscious youths lay on the floor as well, whereas the star attraction was the black-haired youth with blue eyes who kept grinning for no good reason.“Host can copy up to ten different abilities from different entities and humans. Host must have physical body contact with the set person, then utter the command to copy, host must stay within reach of the set person for ten seconds to completely copy the ability.”The system's response seemed to be the greatest news Maximus had ever heard since his birth.“Ten different abilities! that will make me once in a zillion years prodigy. I will surpass even Daniel.” but then he stopped smiling and thought more about this.“No, that will create problems for me. I have to lay low and act normal as I have been, while I secretly build myself.” with half a plan in mind, Maximus decides to return to the company building, but first, he still needs
Maximus could be seen seated inside an enclosed glass cubicle typing furiously on the keyboard of a desktop computer. He was so concentrated on whatever he was doing that he became oblivious to those around him.“Why can't I break down the firewall of the Orlan family security system?” Maximus queried. He had decided to rob a first-tier family just as the system tasked him to do, and he had chosen the Orlan family clan, why? Because Ronald Orlan has been a very big bully and jerk, and now Maximus wants revenge, and guess what? He's getting it legally... well by the system means that it.“This is one of the times I wish I was a tech ability user or I had one at my disposal. fuck this crazy shit!” he cursed again. He's been trying to hack into the Orlan family clan's security system for almost four hours with zero luck.“Alright, inputting the bypass authorization code here, here and here. I hope this works this time.” Maximus prayed to whatever god was out there watching him.Ding! The
The next day at work, a lot of the employees were gathering in groups and speaking in hushed tones, their topic was none other than the break-in at the Orlan family clan mansion. Many stipulated it was a saint-rank invisibility ability user while others said it was a grandmaster illusion ability user, but the main perpetrator was grinning at himself inside an enclosed glass cubicle.“System, add fourteen points to strength, nine points to agility, eleven points to stamina, and five points to perception.” Maximus said.“That will be thirty nine system coins.” replied the system.“Take it. Now I am truly comparable to a beginner Master-rank fighter.” he smiled at himself.“If I face against Daniel now with my current stats I can beat him to pulp, well, only problem will be that fire ability of his.” Maximus thought aloud.“Now I have the resources I need to start a company, I have to do it far from here. It seems I will have to visit the library again. In the meantime, System show me my
[TWO WEEKS LATER]Triton City.A BMW X7 can be seen stopping in front of a five-star hotel, the driver steps out and opens the back door, and out comes the most gorgeous man ever seen; dark blond curly hair, immaculate shaped oval face with a square jaw, ruby lips, gold coloured eyes and well toned tall body, his surpassed all sexy models in all of Triton City. Dressed in a custom-made golden suit, he strolled into the hotel, heading straight for the receptionist.“Hello Miss.” the man said with a smile that can make a thousand girls faint.“He..hello..sir” the female receptionist struggled to speak as she was mesmerized by the gorgeousness of the man in front of her.“Is the suite free? I will need it,” he said, his smile still on his face.“Of course Sir. Your name Sir?” she replied with her head down so as not to lose focus on the handsome face of this man.“Ozilla, Ozilla Gold is my name,” he replied still smiling.“Thank you, Sir. Here's your key Sir,” she said handing him a set
The next day Maximus thought it was best to establish himself as soon as possible, thus he left the hotel and decided to return to the bank, he aimed to enquire about the possibility of buying a company building and a house. He didn't want to go to any agency as that would cost him more.Maximus called his driver after he had his shower and breakfast, then he picked up a new gold suit, wore his pair of gold shoes and then went to the elevator which took him downstairs. His driver was waiting for him in the reception lobby.“Good morning Mister Gold Sir, where do you wish to go today?” the driver, a bald-haired middle-aged man, was of common blood with no affinity to any element whatsoever.“Morning George, take me to the bank. It's important.” Maximus said with the air of a rich businessman.“Right this way sir.” the driver gestured to the car outside.Maximus walked to the gold-coloured BMW X7, he had specifically money to get it painted yesterday, for now, this will do, he plans to
Maximus was now headed to an Estate management agency. Esther had told him that if he wanted to buy a house, they were his best bet. The gold-colored BMW X7 cruised through the city of Triton and entered the Gonzalez district, this district was owned by the Gonzalez family clan, they were known to be formidable and unrestrained, one could think of them as a Mexican gangster family.“Be careful, the Gonzalez family controls this district, they are known to be shrewd and sometimes they tend to extort money from rising rich men,” Esther advised.“Don't worry. The agency is just a few more blocks from here, right?” Maximus asked while swerving from the disturbing topic.“Yes Sir,” she replied but she still wasn't at ease. Maximus could feel her emotions bubbling, he gazed at her hands and saw they were balled up into fists.“What tragedy did you suffer in this area?” Maximus asked her.“Huh!?” Esther stuttered taken aback by Maximus' question.“Something happened to you here, Am I right?”
Maximus and Esther drove towards the Nobles District. All houses and villas in this district were owned only by the truly wealthy, and security in this district was tight. The gold-coloured BMW X7 stopped in front of a well-fenced villa standing on six acres of land with a fountain in the middle, its floor was covered with well-trimmed carpet grass.“Truly worth the two hundred million trium I paid,” Maximus commented with a smile on his face.“Come, Esther, let us take a tour of our new home,” Maximus said as he walked towards the entrance while Esther stood rooted at the spot as Maximus' words shocked her.“Our.. our!?” Esther stuttered. Maximus turned around and faced her with a smile on his face.“Did you think I am heartless as to take your family's company and then leave you to fend for yourself?” Maximus asked her.“But you paid for it fair and square.” Esther clarified.“Come on in with me Esther, let's go check our new home,” Maximus repeated and went in as if he did not hear
Early the next morning. Maximus was dressed in his immaculate gold suit, a gold wristwatch on his left wrist, his dark blond curly hair was combed to the back and tied with a golden ribbon giving him a small ponytail, a golden hairpin was inserted in his ponytail, Maximus looked every inch a rich European Prince. Meanwhile, Esther's mother led her out to the field where Maximus was waiting for her, she looked so stunning. Dressed in a silk-satin evening dress with a V neckline which left her arms and shoulders exposed, plus it emphasized her bosom. She wore a golden circlet that appeared to be made out of small camellias woven together, in a word, she looked like a 'Fairy Princess'. Maximus had spared no expense on getting her the best fashion Triton had to offer, he felt he had to make her smile always, which has been what he had been doing ever since he brought her to his villa, he also knew she would be a great help to him in future.“Wow! You look stunning! Your gorgeous figure an
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
