CHAPTER 32: A HIGH RANK TERROR Marko did not have much of a choice but to strategize his next course of action. "The best thing to do would be to distract the doctor with the full might of my infinite super strength and then use impulse to move past the line of his blind spot and burst Master Valtor put of the cage while also anticipation that he already expects me to make that move beforehand." "I have to eliminate all doubt from myself and give it my all, for my friends and my master." The doctor screamed at him. "Don't waste my time filthy gifted and come already, don't you want to save your greatest weapon? I will gladly take out all my anger on you just like I did to those pathetic humans." Marko froze. "What?" The doctor looked highly displeased at him. "This was an orphanage till I took charge and used the children for my experiments to benefit the higher ups. After I ran out of test subjects I came to the town and took them all now it seems I have to m
CHAPTER 33: STRATEGY Marko from all the training he had been doing recently had realized that there was a limit to how much his body could take before expending his energy. At least this was how it was for others but for him who has infinite potential his case was the reverse. His limit was on how much he could display before expending his body. He was like a jar holding a very volatile liquid. If the jar was too weak when shaken, it would crack and explode. Marko closed in on the high rank terror while using both infinite super strength and supersonic speed to maneuver out of his deadly needle like hands and landing a strong blow on his opponent's side. WHAM! Using the moment of distraction he moved to his blindspot to save Valtor but the doctor immediately caught wind of it and smacked him on the face. "Oho, you blocked that?" The doctor screeched at him. Marko screamed out from the shockwave as his hands rattled violently. [CONVERTING EXTERNA
CHAPTER 34: OVERWHELMING The doctor screamed. "Where did he go? Did he disintegrate himself with his own power? This my just me my assumption no, an hypothesis! But his molecular structure had been displaced for a short time span meaning that he will reappear nearby!" BHAM! "KEUK!" A tooth shot out of the doctor's mouth as he stumbled backwards. "Was that a blow? Where did it come from?" BOOM! The doctor launched into the air to avoid the next blow just barely. "Dammit! While I'm up here there is no way he can--" Marko appeared above him bringing his foot down on his head. "POOOWWREEERR KIIIIICK!!" KRA-KA BOOM! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMPH!" The doctor hit the ground destroying the foundation of the building that was once and orphanage and causing the roof to collapse down on them. "SHIT!" Ted screamed as he blasted the bits of rock that fell for the rest of team five away. "When did that bastard get so strong on the spot, is he a cheat. Or perhaps
CHAPTER 35: THIRD EYE AWAKENED It wasn't the first time he was seeing the notification. The first was the eye of power, the second was the eye of space and the third was... [EYE OF ENERGY (GREEN) IS NOW ACTIVE] "What's this rush of energy!" Marko muttered as his eyes became green and so did his vision. "I can feel my energy returning." Every fatigue he experienced was gone, his wounds had closed partly it was like his body had been reborn back to its previous form. No he was stronger than ever before." [YOU CAN NOW ABSORB AND RELEASE MATTER & ENERGY] A green smoke was swirling into his body from the tail of the doctor. "Aaaaaaarrrrrrgh!! My life force is being drained! What manner of monster is this?" The doctor screamed as he pulled back but... "Let go of my tail you scum!" BOOM! Marko burst out of the ground and kicked the high rank terror over the face with his hand still holding on to the tail. Unlike the eye of power or the eye of space, hi
CHAPTER 36: CONCLUSION OF DARK CASTLE "Hmph!" Marko scoffed. The doctor panicked. "And what is funny here." Marko looked at him with domineering green eyes. "Did you think I would just let this slide?" [EYE OF ENERGY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED] "Convert impulse into eye of energy absorption!" He boomed. [ABSORPTION RATE OF EYE OF ENERGY HAD INCREASE BY 4000%] "HAHAHAHAHA!" Marko laughed as he sucked the high rank terror dry in one go. His arm almost exploded from the effort. The core of the terror shattered within his chest. "Now how does it feel to be the one wasted and useless? You feel helpless, this is how families feel after your kind lay waste to everything." The high rank terror started to dry out. "Hmm? Trying to make me feel an tiny bit of remorse how foolish. You might have stopped me but my protege will avenge me." Marko frowned. "What protege? All of your creations have been destroyed." "Not all of them!" The high rank terror shoo
CHAPTER 37: MEETING OF THE HIGH RANKS The entire place was filled with the gifted rescue unit. They cleared out the survivors of the orphanage battle. They put Marko, Ted and the others on stretchers. "Hey, lemme go or I'll kill you!" Ted screamed. The rescue unit said nothing as they bundled him and took them out of the building that was now just a barely standing block of walls and rubble. "Like what the hell happened here?" One of the rescue unit said to the other. "I hear a high rank terror was vanquished here." "No way that's true, but for reals?" "Yeah!" "But the prince of the academy is here so I guess its possible. But the fight of this scale is sorta disappointing." "How do you say?" "You would think that a battle against an high rank terror would level the place but I guess Valtor Rose was able to contain it." "But the people of Saceria were massacred under our nose, this must spell bad news for the gifteds. If
SIDE STORY: MARKO & TERESA – BEFORE THE AWAKENINGIn a small, peaceful village nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, life was simple yet challenging. Marko and his mother, Teresa, lived in a modest cottage at the edge of the village. Though life had dealt them a hard hand, they faced each day with determination and resilience.Marko, a young boy at the age of thirteen, was known for his unyielding spirit and hardworking nature. His father had died when Marko was just a toddler, leaving Teresa to raise him alone. Their original home destroyed by terrors forcing them to leave as refugees.Despite the hardships, Teresa's love and strength were unwavering, and she instilled in Marko the values of hard work and compassion. Even in the harsh and cruel world.One crisp autumn morning, Teresa was up early, as usual, preparing breakfast. The sweet aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air. Marko, already dressed and ready, helped his mother set the table."Mom, do you need any help
CHAPTER 38: A HEARTY CONVERSATION [...] [SUBJECT IS WAKING UP] [SLEEP MODE HAS BEEN CANCELLED] [ESTIMATED SLEEP MODE TIME: 2 MONTHS, 17 DAYS, 9 HRS, 5 SECONDS] [ALL BODY FUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO NORMAL] "Nggh." Marko's eyes squinted open weakly. His head felt as if it had come fresh out of the oven. "That, ow! I feel weird. Ted you there? Quint? Echo? Nari? Mr Valtor?" The room looked strange, white at all sides but he could tell he was in an infirmary. Well that was obvious. He could see a black door with a silver handle, there was a big window with white curtains drawn allowing the flow of very little air current into the room. Marko could see that he was alone so he let his head rest back on the soft pillow and dissolved in the warm comfort that came with it. A white blanket covered up his body, underneath he was wearing a white patients wear consisting of a light shirt and pants. They never had such implements back at the v
