2024-10-29 19:42:56"Harry!" Max called out as he stared at the ball of flames on Harry's palm. No one could explain the expression on Max's face as he kept staring at the ball of flames. "My 20XP is gone!" He suddenly said out loud causing the students to stare at him in confusion.
"Is he mad already or something?" A student asked and no one had the exact answer to his question, they were all confused.
"Hey, the hell is wrong with you? I just saved your ass and you can't show some appreciation!" Harry said. He was upset at Max's sudden behaviour.
"Thank you but I didn't beg to be saved...I need that thing on my chest, two of it on my chest or my reward will be gone," Max replied pointing to the ball of flames.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked in confusion. He was here to eat some breakfast when he saw the ball of flames dashing towards Max, out of instinct he rushed and caught it before it slammed on his chest. What he didn't understand was why he is acting the way he is doing right now, he was supposed to be happy that someone helped him but..... "What XP are you even talking about?"
'Damn! I almost leaked my secret' Max thought inwardly. "That was a mistake but you see, I was challenged by someone that if I can take two blows from this ball of flame, I will be rewarded. Just let me do it, besides you have no business here, go meet your friends."
Max was right in what he said, if Kelvin should meet Harry here and learn about what is going on, he would want to cause trouble and the sufferer would certainly be him — Max.
"I get what you are trying to say but don't worry he would do no such thing. I'll let him know that I did save you on my own accord and nothing else," Harry replied.
Meanwhile, the dark-skinned boy stood in his previous position and had been glaring at Max and Harry for a long time. He was angry with Harry for stopping his attack and at the same time angry at Max for having someone to help him. He felt insulted but knew he could not fight Harry because his level is at 1.5 while his level is only at 1.3. Nevertheless, he wasn't going to back down no matter what.
"Hey Harry, you know you've got no business here, step aside and let me teach that little brat some lessons," The boy yelled to Harry. Harry upon hearing what the boy said, turned and shot him a glare. He was about to say something when Max hushed him.
"You have no business here, he is right. It's between the both of us so allow me to take the blows or I'll feel insulted by everyone around," Max said and Harry sighed and dissipated the ball of flames in his palm.
"Alright, I give up but when I see the situation is getting out of hand, don't you try to stop me," Harry said to Max and moved away from him. He found a spot among the rest of the students and stood, his attention fully Max.
"You'll have nowhere to escape to this time around," the dark-skinned boy said with a grin on his face, he felt so eager to punish Max. He clasped his palms together and formed the ball of flames, this time it was two and he held one in each of his palms. "Feel my wrath!" the boy yelled and threw the two balls of flames at the same time.
"Holy Shi.....t!" Max yelled in horror as the two balls of flames were rushing towards him. He haven't even prepared and they were almost nearing him. "Fuck me!"
*Boom*
*Boom*
"Argh!!!!"
*Bang*

"Is he still alive?"
"Let's go check!"
All the students rushed to where Max had fallen, covered in debris.
"I bet he is dead, Tsk!" The dark-skinned boy scoffed and made to leave in satisfaction.
"What! He is alive an...Not harmed!" Someone yelled, abruptly causing the dark-skinned boy to halt.
"How can that be?" The dark-skinned boy asked in shock and rushed to where Max had fallen. "How are you not harmed?" he asked, still in shock. Max was surprisingly on his feet, dusting his clothes."My favourite jacket!" Max mumbled as he removed the jacket to examine it.
"You are okay? How did you do it?" Harry rushed over as well and asked, he too was in shock.
"It's my luck, the heavens are in my favour today," Max replied and walked out of the debris. He turned to the dark-skinned boy and smirked, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson today, in the nearest future, it'll be my turn and I hope you'll learn a lesson from it."
Max didn't wait to be replied to, he walked among the students while they quietly made paths for him and stormed out of the hall.
Meanwhile, in the shadows were two figures of men staring at the students. They had been there since the fight began."My Lord, what do you say? Isn't it time to give him the ability?" One of the figures said to the one at his right hand.
"No, not yet but soon. Keep an eye on him and let me know when he is ready." The other figure said and disappeared immediately, not giving the other one a chance to reply.
"How am I to know when he is ready?" The remaining figure said in frustration as he disappeared as well.

"How was I able to withstand those blows just fine?" Max asked himself with a smile on his face. He had rushed out of the cafeteria, not because of anything but because he was extremely happy and surprised at the same time. He got into his room and closed the door behind him then walked to the mirror and removed his shirt. "There are no injuries at all, this is freaking awesome! I guess it should be because of the system, hahaha!" Max began to laugh out loud as he danced around his room.As he was dancing, his eyes subconsciously moved to the clock. "Ahhh! Don't tell me that I am late!" He screamed seeing the time. He quickly wore another shirt and carried his bag, he didn't mind his dishevelled hair which was unlike him and dashed out of his room.-------------"Are you all complete?"

"Students pick your sparring partner and get ready to start," The teacher said, drawing everyone's attention to him. The students gathered around and started choosing themselves, they picked stronger students among themselves and left the weak ones to choose their selves. Max watched what was going on and could not help but scoff. 'Bunch of clowns!' he mumbled inwardly and began to look around, for any students he would spar with.Just before he could walk up to one of the free students, Harry approached him together with Kelvin and Matt. "Here comes the devil," he mumbled under his breath as he glared at Kelvin who in return was glaring back at him."I see you have no sparring partner," Harry noted as he got to where Max was standing. "How about we spar?" he asked with a smirk."Why? We are no mates so I guess you should go ask one of your mates," Max replied and turned to leave."And where do you think you are going?

My Overlord Demon System Green Portal
Under the scorching sun of a plain area that had no trees not even an ounce of life were about a hundred to two hundred students all sweating and frowning their faces. Some used their hands to fan themselves while others used a piece of cloth or anything usable. The sun was too much – it was so unbearable that the students were no longer excited as they had been earlier, even the ground they were stepping on was hot."Why are you feeling so comfortable?" Kelvin could not help but ask Evelyn. Since they had arrived at the green portal, she hadn't for once complained or even frowned, worst of it all was that she wasn't sweating like her sister who almost wanted to pull her clothes off if not for the gaze of her twin."It's because she has the fire ability," Emily replied while wiping the sweat off her forehead. The group finally understood why Evelyn felt so comfortable and calm.'Fire ability huh? Sounds cool, it's no wonder her gaze is so fierce and
My Overlord Demon System Max Versus The Hordes
Too late!Was all that came into the minds of the students as they watched Max disappear together with the beast.It was all like a dream to his group members especially Harry who Max was talking to before he disappeared. They didn't know how the beast was able to break out from the ice without anyone knowing, not even Emily saw it coming. To think the basic beast would be able to break from her intermediate ice spell was something that baffled her."Max," Harry called out in fright as he stared at the empty space not too far away from them. That was the spot Max was standing previously. He began to walk towards the place and when he got there, it shocked him how the ground looked normal like nothing happened there."What should we do? We need to find him!" Harry said, turning his attention to Kelvin who also looked shocked but not to the point of doing anything."There is nothing we can do Harry, we can't possibly enter the groun
My Overlord Demon System Zheren
'This is it! This is the end for me!' Max thought to himself as he stared at the enormous crab that had just walked into the cave carrying a human boy in its hand, it turned around and seeing all the dead crabs let out an angry shrieking roar that shook the entire cave. It angered it a lot to see its dead comrades scattered around the whole place in their piles of blood. The enormous crab flung the boy he was holding causing him to slam his back against the hard wall and then fell to the ground then it began to dash towards Max. Max didn't see it coming, it ran at an unseeable speed and when it got to where Max was lying, it clawed at him giving him a deep tear from his neck down to his chest. Max felt the burning pain, he wanted to scream but he could not find his voice. He tried to get up but it was a failed attempt, blood kept gushing out without stopping. He gradually opened his hazy eyes and looked ahead, there, was the crab coming at him
My Overlord Demon System Max's Sacrifice
"Argh!" Max yelled as a blinding light engulfed him, he began to rise until he was standing in the air. The crab tried to attack it but each time it makes contact with the blinding light, it would be sent flying away. After many failed attempts, it stopped and watched the human boy in a confused state. Slowly yet rapidly, the bruises, cuts and gashes all over his body began to close up until there were none left.*Ding*>>>>>>>>>>>>>><

His fingers trembled, his brows knitted together, his eyes flickered a bit and slowly they began to open until his blue eyes came into view. His eyes wandered around him until he spotted Max laying close to him with his eyes tightly shut, he abruptly got up and went over to Max to check his impulse."He isn't breathing!" He exclaimed and removed his hands from under Max's nose, his face darkened as he remembered what happened. Just before Max collapsed, Zheren's mind had begun to function, he became aware of what Max was doing to him, he would never have believed that someone would risk his life just to save him. He let out a sigh and sat close to Max's body, "I don't know how you were able to bring me back alive but no matter what it is, I'll forever be indebted to you and will follow you. I may not be able to protect you just yet but I will work hard to regain my lost powers and my title, after that no one would ever hurt you again." Zheren's first clenched so tight as he remembere

A Shameful End For Kelvin
With wide eyes and opened mouths, everyone watched as the same dark fogs that had disappeared before reappeared again. This time it was behind Kelvin who still had his eyes fixed on Max, he heard everyone scream his name but before he could process anything, it was already late. The dark fogs formed into some long claws and began to tear on his skin. Screams filled the air as Kelvin began to run around the duelling ground, as he ran, the claws followed him as well, tearing on his skin and causing his clothes to be dyed red.As blood gushed out from his body, he began to get weak. He got weak to the extent that he could no longer walk and so he fell to the ground, helpless. No one came to help him, everyone watched as strength sipped out of him gradually, yet, no one made an attempt to help him. Not even Matt who wanted so badly to be his friend. It was as if the world had left him to die, that he was insignificant. From where he was lying down, a tear dropped from his eye then followe

Kelvin heard Max ask behind him, he turns around abruptly and sees the grinning Max but before he can open his mouth to talk, he was suddenly sent flying to the wall."What!""How the hell did he do that?""Did he just kick my Idol?"The entire Arena was in an uproar, students could not hide the shock on their faces as they stared at Max who was still grinning and then Kelvin who was lying on the ground, unable to move.Max slowly walked up to Kelvin who was groaning in pain, a smirk curved upon his lips as he bent down towards him. "I hate people like you the most!" He said coldly, causing Kelvin to turn around despite the pains on his back."Y-you....!" Kelvin shuddered, he didn't know what to say, he was confused, shocked and angry at the same time. Yet, he could not do a thing, he could only point at Max with hostility.Max seeing the anger on Kelvin's face beamed, he tilted his head to take a better look at Kelvin's face then without saying a word, he stood up.

"You are to begin after the count of five," Kelvin said, sounding like an official referee. The two opponents nodded in understanding and Kelvin began his count."1""2""3" "4""5""BEGIN!"After the count, Kelvin quickly gave them some space by moving closer to the wall of the duelling ground. Max and Nat both took a fighting stance opposite each other, with their whole attention fixed on themselves. The noisy crowd became quiet as the time they all have been waiting for has finally arrived, their eyes and whole senses on the two boys on the duelling ground, no one wanted to miss any action."Hey, I won't take it easy on you so you better do the same," Nat said as a warning and clasped his hands together.'It's not time for me to show them my demon powers or I'll be in danger, I'll have to follow Zheren's idea even though I would want to beat the crap out of him' Max thought inwardly as he braced himself for whatever Nat was about to do.From Nat's clasped palms, particles of ligh

There Will Be No Room For Failure
Max stormed inside the room and then slumped on his bed, his face was squeezed and his fists were clenched. Zheren also walked inside the room after some time, he glanced at Max and seeing his angry face could not help but sigh. He understood how he felt at the moment because he too had been in the same situation before. Nevertheless, he walked to Max and sat close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder he comforted him as a friend would — This was what Max needed at a time like this, a reminder that he has a friend who believes in him and will stand by him.After some time of comforting, Max calmed down. His face returned to its normal mood and his rising chest completely fell. Thanks to Zheren who knew how to use words just perfectly. After Zheren fell asleep because he mentioned that he was sleepy, Max took a shower because he knew how bad he smelled. After that, he wore light clothes and left the room after glancing at the Zheren.When he got outside, he began to make his way tow

Not Worthy Of Being Called A friend
"Kelvin, you guys have to hurry to the dorms, Nat and Max are about to fight!" A student yelled as he saw Kelvin, Harry and Matt."Max?""Max?"Harry and Kelvin asked in unison, the shocked expression on their faces could not be hidden. "How is that possible?" Kelvin asked in incredulity as he turned to Harry for an answer."We should go and check it out first," Harry replied and ran off. Part of him was overjoyed while the other part was in doubt, Max couldn't be back from the portal and alive. Nevertheless, he ran to the dorms and when he got there, he saw the crowd of students had already gathered around and mumbling hell knows not to themselves.Harry made his way through the crowd of students until he got to the front, where he saw Max being pushed to the wall by Nat. "Max!" He called as he rushed over immediately and stopped Nat from punching Max in the face."Hey man, you just woke up! Can't you rest a bit?"

Nat Is Awake
Zheren led Max through the dark hallway until they got to another building. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around causing Max to almost fall. "Max, I don't know how you were able to do it but I want to say thank you for bringing me back to life and for healing me. Damon said I am now a demon, it came as a shock to me considering my status before but I do not mind that again," Zheren said in a low voice then let out an inaudible sigh."I did what I had to do so you don't have to be like that, besides you saved me," Max replied with a slight smile on his face. "About the demon stuff, well I happened to be favoured by Damon and so I was able to turn into a demon, I guess it was a bit of luck that I was able to bring you back to life. As you have seen, I am not yet strong enough which explains why I fainted. By the way, how many days have I been asleep?" "Two days I guess," Zheren replied to Max's shock."Two days? Hell! I need to return to school," Max said as he remembered someth

Max closed his eyes still and tried to fully fix his attention on the dark energies around him. He may not know why the system requests that he absorb the energies but one thing is for sure and that is his desire to get stronger. After some time, he opened his inner eyes and he could see the dark energies and how they were raging around his soul. It was like they wanted to tear his soul apart but something kept stopping them.Max channelled his mind to the energies and began to draw them to himself, the dark energies felt his presence and suddenly they gathered around and began to form until they formed into the shadow of a man."Are you strong enough to withstand my powers?" Max heard a voice ask him through the shadow of the man. He kept silent for some time as he didn't know if he could be able to do it. At the same time, be wanted to do it because of the rewards attached to it by the system."Yes, I can!" Max replied and without waiting for the shadow to reply to him, he gathere

Awake
"Who are you?" Asked Max with a curious look as he stared at the figure of a man who was standing not too far away from him. He was supposed to be startled by the appearance of the manly figure but surprisingly he wasn't, he felt as though they were connected somehow."My name is Yama," the man said calmly. His eyes glittered as he stared at Max. "Do you know me?" he added."I don't! I should be asking you that because you approached me yourself," Max said still with his gaze fixed on the man."If I am correct, you awakened the remaining part of me during your breakthrough. I am quite surprised to be honest, for a mere human to awaken me is something I never expected even when I was still asleep." Yama said, his voice filled with surprise."I awakened you?" Max asked in shock. 'That explains the strange voice I was hearing during...' he stopped his thoughts halfway and returned his gaze to Yama who was patiently waiting for him to ask questions. "Were you the one speaking through me?"
