Shian walked out of the house still seething in rage and headed confidently, towards the heart of the city.
As he walked by the buildings, they were noticeably better than the ones in the outskirts. They were more developed, their intricate designs were visible for all to see, along with their towering and magestic sizes, the cars moving by didn't move on wheels, instead they hovered above the ground and made a humming noises when they passed by. The ground was clean, unlike the outskirts where dirt was everywhere and the air was filled whith the putrid smell of waste, this side had a fragrant smell.Shian's destination was a restaurant called 'The New Day', he had always wished to eat in that restaurant and he finally had the chance.The previous day, Shian's neighbors had contributed credits and gave to him, he was over the moon when he was given, so he planned to use a part of it to finally eat in a restaurant like rich people do and then use the rest for his mission.Shian eventually got to where he was headed, he stood outside for some minutes, taking in the beauty of the restaurant.The door of the restaurant and the windows were transparent and he could see people chatting with a plate of food on their table or a glass of drink in their hands, above the door was a sign which said 'Welcome to The New Day Restaurant', the words were constantly changing colors like neon signs, all in all, it was eye catching and seemed to be calling out to the people walking by.Shian walked in boldly and sat down.The interior was just as alluring as the entrance. There were flower pots on the shelves, along with vines on the walls and some plants were hung from the ceiling. The lighting's were perfectly hanging from the ceiling and on the walls, there were different kinds of murals.Just across the restaurant, there was a stage with a band of musicians performing and playing slow and soothing music. Shian was blown away. He knew the restaurant was beautiful, but he didn't think it was this much.Shian sat down with a smile plastered on his face. On his table was a tab, he picked it up and scanned the menu, he tapped several times until he finally settled for a descent dish. A moment later, a tray on moving wheels stopped at his table, the tray was just a little bit taller than the table which made the tray slip into the table smoothly without making any noise."Thank you Mr Robot." Shian said and surprisingly the bot replied."You're welcome Sir." It said with a monotone voice.Shian didn't need to be told what to do next. He began to devour his food without any manners earning himself disgusted glances and making them whisper among themselves then continue whatever they were doing. Shian being the center of all the attention didn't even bat an eyelid towards them, of they didn't like his manners then they could just piss off.Shian cleaned his plate, paid the bill before walking out.As he got to the automatic door, he accidentally bumped into someone, and as Shian opened his mouth to apologize he stood, frozen.A tall girl around his age with an hourglass figure, she had a round face which ended with a pointed chin, bright ruby red eyes, long black eyelashes, long red hair that reached her waist, her skin was smooth without any spot almost like a porcelain doll. All things considered, she looked beautiful, more like an angel. Shian was left with his mouth hanging open, unable to snap out of his daze."Well, won't you apologize" The girl said not caring about the way Shian was staring at her."I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." Shian finally managed to say.Just then three boys who looked a bit older than them walked in their direction. The one in the middle was taller than Shian by a centimeter or two, he had thick short white hair, was muscular and two other boys were tailing him like two loyal dogs. The one on the left was thin and was just as tall as Shian with blonde hair, while the other on the right was as muscular as the boy with white hair, but with long black hair instead.The three boys approached Shian and the girl with smiles on their faces."Hello Vanessa" The boy in the middle with white hair said courteously. Shian was surprised by his comportment."What do you want again Seth" Vanessa, the girl Shian was speaking with said with anger in her voice. Those walking by gave a brief look in their direction."Look, I know you are mad at me for what I did the other time, but please just hear me out." The boy with white hair known as Seth said."I've already given you my answer so we do not have anything to talk about anymore. Go and find someone else, it's not like I'm the only beautiful girl in the Academy."Shian had already gotten a general idea of what was going on. It looked like Seth had asked Vanessa out or something like that and she refused, but Seth kept on chasing after her and she was beginning to get angry about it."Please Vanessa."Shian was getting irritated, not just because Seth kept begging, but because of the way they were staring at her, they were clearly having lewd thoughts about her, and Vanessa apparently didn't want to talk to him but Seth just kept on persisting.Shian decided to not interfere but his mouth had already moved before he could stop himself, so he just decided to go on with it."What's wrong with you, she said she doesn't want to speak with you, what's so hard to understand in that. Even if you want to talk to her, is it in an open place like this you are supposed to do so. It looks like that thick hair of yours is pressing down on you brain so hard, you can't think straight."For a second the four of them were unable to do anything. Vanessa didn't even believe the person she had just met will stand up for her.One of the boys standing behind Seth was the first to react. The one who was muscular like Seth pounced on him with surprising agility and with the intent of tackling him to the ground. Shian with all the training he had received easily side stepped the incoming attack.The boy crashed on the ground heavily and wounded himself in the process. He got up ready to attack again. but was stopped on Seth's order"Stop Druber, leave him alone." Seth said then gave him a look as of to say.'We'll deal with him later'The boy, Druber, who attacked Shian, looked at him and said"You're dead."Shian didn't reply but gave him nonchalant look which only angered Druber, but in his head he was cursing himself.'FUCK MEEE!!!! me and my loud mouth again'Seth and his 'friends' eventually left.Vanessa looked at Shian and said. "Thanks for what you did back there""It's nothing, I just didn't like the way they presented themselves.""By the way, my name's Vanessa Emprie""Shian Smith." Shian replied bluntly then turn around and began to jog away "I'll see you around.""Wait" Vanessa called out but Shian was already gone. "What did he mean by he'll see me around. Hmmm... it seems like he is going to enter the Academy too." Vanessa said then walked into the restaurant.__________Meanwhile, Seth and his goons were planning on how to deal with Shian."That foolish girl Vanessa. She will be mine, no matter what it takes.""She will be yours Seth, but what about that lowlife who insulted us in front of everyone, what should we do about him." Druber asked still visibly annoyed about how he embarrassed himself."Let's just follow him for now, and when we get the chance, we'll teach him a lesson he will never forget." Seth said."I can't wait.
Shian didn't realize what was going on until he had fallen through the portal."Shit. I'm so dead, did that asshole not see where he was going." Shian didn't know what to do. He got up to have a good look of his surroundings.The first thing that came into his view was the extremely bright orange light that was immediately filtered out by his vision and the slightly sandy wind blowing on his face that was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life.The ground was completely arid with nothing but orange rocks covering it, there were various cracks in the ground and small rocky hills in the distance with the abnormal shapes of semicircles.Orange glowing balls covered some of the orange sky that Shian could not tell were either moons or stars. Out of the seemingly completely dry dead ground, grew purple flowers of dazzling beauty, its deep purple glow very profound, some of them growing straight out of the tiny cracks on the ground.Shian turned around frantically, hoping to fin
Shian was tensed, he knew he will eventually face a high tier beast, but he wasn't expecting it to be this soon."If it's an intermediate tier beast, I can defeat it if I use all the weapons in my arsenal, but if it's on a higher tier, I don't think I have any other choice but to run.The black dot kept getting bigger and the ground quaked more fiercely."If only this beast didn't make the ground shake so much, I could have escaped."Or so he thought, if Shian knew that the beast had smelt him from afar, he will not be having those thoughts.Shian waited with his trusty weapon in hand —his scythe. He steadied his breath to calm himself down and vested his armour.A grey breastplate appeared on his body, a pair of blue gauntlets covered his hands with an opening for his fingers so that only his palm and wrist were covered, a pair of dun colored boots that reached his shin appeared on his foot and last but not least, a red helmet that covered his whole head with a T-shaped opening for hi
Shian began to convulse terribly, his blood which was splattered everywhere began to flow in reverse, his bones snapped back into position, which was a very painful process. Black blood began to flow out of his mouth and the pores of his skin, his eyes turned bloodshot and he coughed violently.A grey aura began to seep out of his body gradually, then abruptly, it burst out with power, ravaging the surroundings and destroying everything within it. The wolf sensing danger turned around to flee but a suction force pulled it towards Shian.The wolf was using all the strength it could muster to run, but it wasn't making any difference.As it was pulled back, it left a trail on the ground, it's sharp claws dug into the metal floor but the suction force disavailed it of that advantage and it was finally pulled away.The wolf was sucked into the area and devoured by the aura Shian was releasing. Shian's eyes which were bloodshot previously were now glowing with power. Shian didn't know wha
Shian left the room and made a mental note of the location. He walked out of the building and chose a direction to go. As he walked he reminisced about his life with his father and neighbours, unknown to him as he thought about them, a smile crept up his face. He thought about how they all took care of each other like one family, but it all got ruined for him when his father died, the smile in his face slowly faded and was replaced with a frown."That's why I need to get stronger, so I will be able to take care of myself and those around me. I will awaken my ability no matter what and become the strongest human in the world, or even the universe."As Shian finished his thoughts he looked ahead of him and saw a lake in the distance, he rushed towards it and got down on his knees and began to gulp mouthfuls of water. He hadn't realized that he was that thirsty until he saw the water and after drinking to his fill, he brought out his flask and refilled it.He took off his amour and cloth
Shian began to kill beasts with more fervor. After witnessing a beast eat all the crystals he had saved for opening the portal, he was extremely annoyed which lead him to almost double his kill count. If Shian could kill two beasts in three minutes, now he could kill four beasts in four minutes. Shian's main aim to enter a beast realm was to get high tier crystals in order to use them to forge a new set of beast equipments. He also planned to sell some crystals in order for him to have some money with him. Shian had gathered enough crystals and was heading back to the base, he placed the crystal in the compartment of the portal and closed the lid. He turned it on and waited, the blue glow in the portal intensified, Shian was about to go through it when the glow dimmed down. Shian quietly went to a corner and sat down, he was seriously depressed, the crystals were not enough to power the portal. Shian was tired and he had several injuries on his body that were struggling to heal. He
Shian waited for some minutes to gather his energy before getting up. He studied the dead rhino at his side, poking random places at intervals, he went round the rhino but didn't move close to the bite mark on its neck, he felt that of he touched it he would die instantly. After scrutinizing the rhino enough, he produced a dagger from his space ring and began to cut in between the armor-plated skin of the beast. After an hour of arduous struggle, he finally got to the core of the beast and saw a massive crystal the size of his head glowing brightly. Shian was mesmerized, he had never seen anything so breathtaking in his life. While he was looking at it, a fight was happening inside him, he was resisting the urge to grab the crystal simply because of its beauty, but his rational self knew better that if he touched the crystal, the system that was synchronizing with him, will synchronize completely and he didn't want to know what will happen if it did, so Shian did what he had been do
Shian lay down on the floor to rest, then remembered that he had to hunt for crystals to power the portal and return back to earth, he sat there for a while, too lazy to get up and hunt beasts.He soon got up to go and gather crystals but returned later to rest with nothing in his hands. He got up again to go and get crystals and once again but returned with nothing, this continued on for weeks without Shian noticing anything wrong with his actions, albeit each time he returned he always had one thought. 'I went outside for a reason right, well, I'll think about it later'.Shian walked out of the base, his scythe in hands, with the intent to complete his mission. As he walked towards the beasts in the distance, his mind began to wander, he thought of irrelevant things and soon found himself walking back to the base while thinking.'What the Fuck did I come out to do!!!'Shian was getting angry but didn't know why. He walked briskly back to the base and entered an empty room, he slamme
