Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 6: System activated!!
Hal was surprised by the familiar feminine voice coming from the corner of the hospital room and hurriedly turned his head to look. "Are you okay?, how are you doing?, hope you aren't feeling any pain?" She asked a series of questions without taking a breath. "Bethany? I didn't know you were around, and yh, I'm fine, or at least I think I am." Hal was quite surprised to see his little sister standing there in the middle of the room with eyes that Indicated that she must have cried herself to sleep last night. She threw a scrutinizing look at him as if to confirm his answers through her eyes before her breathing became irregular, angry. And then as soon as Hal assumed a defensive position, she began punching him in all the unguarded parts while almost shouting. "I told you to stop getting hurt! Do you have any idea how worried I was?" ".... I'm sorry." "Do you want to die and make me twice an orphan? Don't you know how much you mean to me?" ".....sorry" The strength
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 7: Penalty Time!!!
*Warning: Incompletion of daily quest will result in appropriate levels of punishment. Hal reflexively let out a long chuckle after confirming the contents of the message. "Ha, haha....can this system be joking with me?" Was this what the growth and reward stuffing the system was talking about? "Mere exercises?" "Pfft!" "If anyone could get stronger by simply doing a list of exercises, who would be willing to go through so much hardship, then...?" "Bollocks." 'Urgh. I don't care anymore.' Hal simply lay on his bed as he wordlessly stared at the ceiling. As he lay there doing nothing, his thoughts ran through all that had happened ever since he got to know about the system. Everything that has happened since then, seemed out of the normal, especially the issue of his survival from that dungeon. "So what if... ?" What if something could change? "Could it help me grow in strength...?" As his thoughts were filled half with curiosity about the system's words
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 8: Daily quest
Chapter 8 "Fuck!" Hal screamed as he endlessly ran through the cave-like passage with the Craptor hot on his heels. He had been running for over one hour now, and the monster didn't seem keen on giving up. At least the matter wouldn't have been this worse if he had the Teknovo-T71 on him. Even though he could only draw very little of its powers, it would still have helped alleviate the issue of running about a little. "Hey system, can't you at least give me a hand?" Hal called out to the system but got no reply. "You stupid system, is this how you plan on increasing my strength? Sending me to my death?" "Well, I don't want your system again. Just get me out of this hellhole and leave my life!" Hal continued screaming as he ran like a deer while continuously nearly managing to evade the monster's attack. "Ptoii!" A green substance was shot from the Craptor's mouth as it gave chase. Hal, who had slightly turned to look behind him, saw the green substance just in
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 9: Rewards
*Note: The Teknovo-T71 is the specially designed suit used by Hunters. It harnesses the Life force of a Hunter, commonly known as Qi, and transforms it into a source of power to boost the Hunter's abilities such as strength, speed, stamina, etc. The greater the Life force(Qi) of a Hunter the greater the power harnessed. ***** As soon as Hal said those words a blue box suddenly materialized from nowhere and landed on his bed. "Huh? That's cool." "I guess that must be the random box." He looked up and could see his stat window floating in the air. The status window felt like the most important thing now cause it depicted how strong he was. Name: Hal Rodgraim Level: 1 Class: E Title: None HP:100 LF: 3% Tiredness: 0 [Stat] Strength: 7 Stamina: 10 Agility: 8 Speed: 10 Intelligence: 5 Perception: 10 (Available points to distribute: 5) [Skills] Passive skills: - Tenacity Lv. 1 - Composure Lv. 1 Active skills: - Dash Lv. 1 The stats
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 10: A new beginning.
Hal made up his mind to do his best to get stronger. Strong enough to not be bullied by anyone, strong enough to make his way in this current world where only the strong ruled. "Strong enough to make 'em damn monsters pay." With that, he decided to focus on the matter at hand. "Now for the random box." Hal got on the bed and picked up the random box before opening it. "Huh, a card...?" Hal could see a black card with blue words written on it. "The blank card... D...? He read out. "What's it used for?" Hal stared at it as if to bore a hole through it and then the description came up. - Blank card: Gotten from a random box. Allows the Host to select a weapon from the store. 'Weapon?', 'Store?' That's new. "Okay then, how do I access the store?" "Umm....store?" Hal called out and then he could see it floating right in front of him. He could see the word 'store' written in white at the top of the system's interface. - Store: The store is used for buying a
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 11: 1st battle quest
Hal had spent almost a week at the hospital and today was the day he was getting discharged. He looked up from his bed as the door to his room opened and someone came in. It was the nurse who had attended to him ever since he got to the hospital. She was here to discharge him. "Ah, I hope you are getting ready to be discharged?" She asked. "Yes." Hal noticed she didn't say another word after that and just stared intently at him. "Umm, excuse me, isn't there something I should do?" "Oh, sorry. I got carried away." She replied as she slightly bowed her head while blushing. "Here. If you would just sign this, you can be on your way." She handed him a few documents and he signed on them. "Ok, you are free to go." She said with a smile on her face while staring at him. "Ok?" "Oh." She opened the door and hastily left with a flushed cheek. "That was odd." Hal thought as she left. He couldn't understand what caused such a reaction from her. He walked to the
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 12: It's grinding time!
Tti-ring [Basic-tier Kaisan Wolf has been killed.] Hal could be seen standing in front of the already-dead monster. The fight had taken less than a minute, and Hal was left dumbfounded. He ran the way the fight had gone down in his head again and was still speechless. The wolf let out a loud growl before jumping at him with its maws opened wide to tear him apart, and all he did was get into a low position and took a swipe at its neck, and the next thing that could be seen was the head of the wolf flying away in the opposite direction and its body landed on the ground with a loud thud. He couldn't explain what happened. Was it because of his newfound strength or the proficiency of the daggers? He couldn't say it was all due to his strength, after all, he was still at the E rank, so he would say the daggers played a major role also. But if he were to look at it, he wasn't like every regular rank E's. His strength stat was nearing the 30 mark, so he guessed that was also
Omnix: Celestial system Chapter 13: Level up!
[Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] [Level up!] As expected, his levels rose quite quickly. This was what he got for killing over 30 monsters nonstop. He had gone up four levels. He had gained a lot during this hunt and he felt quite pleased. While killing the wolves, he suddenly remembered that monsters usually dropped magic crystals. He also got to learn that certain items can be dropped from the dead monsters and could be sold in the store. Therefore, right now, he has 35 magic crystals and 20 wolf spines stored in his inventory. He was hoping they could fetch him a good amount of coins. Hal looked around him and was quite surprised by the level of havoc he had caused. But this wasn't enough for him to clear the dungeon, and he knew exactly what needed to be done. Hal raised his head and looked in a certain direction. "It's giving me the creeps." There was a reason he hadn't been able to clear the dungeon and that was because of the existence of the

Chapter 35: Sir Jack POV
"I can sense you, so there is no need to hide." Sir Jack's voice echoed through the passage.He stood in the middle of the passage, his stance vigilant, Katana at the ready, as he searched for the other B-rank Hunter, William Farrell.{1} He knew he had probably activated the stealth mode of the suit, which meant he must be close by.Sir Jack, who had a strong sense of justice, was very annoyed when he found out the plot of the so-called Hunter from the Monitoring Division of the Organization.He had taken it upon himself to correct this misconduct, by taking down Farrell and bringing him to justice."Oh, are you that eager to meet your death?" The voice of William echoed through the passage in a low dry chuckle."We'll see who will be meeting their end today." Replied Sir Jack and took a step forward, but as soon as he carried his leg, an iron claw came sweeping out of nowhere, its tips glinting fiercely as it drew a sharp arc in the air. Its destination? Sir Jack's neck.Sir Jack's
Chapter 34: Kill or be killed.
Tti-ring! [Emergency Quest: Kill All the Enemies!] Lifeforms are holding murderous intent against the 'Astravor.' Kill them all to secure your safety. If you don't follow this instruction, a corresponding penalty will be given. [The number of enemies left to kill: 4] [The number of killed enemies: 0] Hal's pulse quickened. "Emergency quest?" This was new. He had received system notifications before—usually cryptic or unreadable—but this one was different. It was clear. And the way it was issued... A penalty if I don’t comply? The weight of it pressed down on him. This wasn’t a simple suggestion from the system. It was a direct order. But apart from that, there was the other thing.... 'Wait up. The words are clear this time around? What changed?' Hal thought. The first time he had seen something like that, it was written in gibberish and he had no idea what it was then, neither did he now. What could an 'Astravor' have meant? He had no idea, but he was going to put
Chapter 33: Beast weapon
The weapons that were used by Hunters to hunt monsters in the dungeons were called Beast weapons. They were made from the materials and pieces of the monsters themselves, as normal weapons could do little to no harm at all against the monsters. This was the case when Gates first appeared on Earth. The ammunition and weapons present on earth were not effective against those monsters, so someone came up with the idea of using their body parts to create weapons after a particular incident where someone had used the tooth of a Saber to kill a monster. From then on, humans started creating weapons made from the materials of the monsters themselves. But that wasn't where he was going. The point he wanted to hit was that, some weapons could create magical energies, and they were gotten only from magical monsters ranked King tier and above. When one had such a weapon, one could create a flame of fire, a ball of ice, and even summon lightning; a lot of things were possible with such we
Chapter 32: Goblins
Goblins were the main enemies of this dungeon. They were the weakest of all humanoid-type monsters out there and usually ranged from the Basic Tier to the Mutant Tier, with only a few exceptions of Advance Tier. So clearing this dungeon was particularly easy. "Kiieeeehk! !" "Kiiiuuicck! !" These strange-looking creatures were weak enough for Hal to fight one-on-one with before he even got his power boost. Still, Hal did his utmost best to carefully hunt Goblins with his bare hands. "Keeuk!" "Kiieeeehk!" When displaying such high combat prowess, both Sir Jack and Mr. Heights formed different expressions. For Sir Jack, it was a narrowing of the eye and a face that no longer held any doubt about a certain issue. For Mr. Heights, it was a face of disbelief. The skill shown by Hal exceeded his expectations. He just couldn't wrap his head around how an E-rank Hunter whom he used to know become so strong that he was giving him the chills. 'Scary..... really scary!' He t
Chapter 31: Re-Convicts
"Ouch!" Hal rubbed his head with one hand with a pained look on his face."Oh, sorry. Are you alright?" Freya asked again."Yes, yes. I'm fine." Hal said as he threw a stern look at Sir Jack, who also threw his head away in another direction as if oblivious to what he had done. Freya removed her hands from Hally's own and said with more emotion in her voice... "I'm so glad you made it, you have no idea how worried I was. Whenever I heard of a raid going down, I always came to the venue, not to participate in the raid, but in the hopes of seeing you." "What? Did you quit being a Hunter?" Hal was very surprised and couldn't hide it."Well, yh. After the situation that happened during our last raid together, I decided to quit. I mean, of what use is a healer-type Hunter who can't help her comrades when they need it the most?" She said with heads down, her face one of sorrow and regret."Oh, Freya, you didn't.....""Ouch, ouch! Hot! It's hot, I say." Both the gazes of Hal and Freya sh
Chapter 30: Loose feelings
The two men arrived at the meeting place, but Hal got there earlier than Sir Jack. The Gate had spawned in the middle of the road pretty close to residential areas, so the police officers called in to control the access to the location. However, there were only a few onlookers present. The majority of Gates the Organization took on were those dangerous ones that had been left alone for too long after their initial discovery. It was only a couple of curious, naughty kids, that loitered around, who got chased away by the officer every now and then. "Please show me your IDs." Sir Jack pulled out his wallet and displayed his ID. "I'm Jack Spencer, a B-rank Hunter, and this young man here is ....well, a colleague." He said while looking away from Hal. The cops checked the face on the ID to see if it matched the face of Sir Jack and, after confirmation, returned the card to him. "Sorry for the inconvenience, sir; you are good to go." "Yh, yh," Jack replied hurriedly and
Chapter 29: Chance!
A few days went by without any incident. Hal waited patiently for a call from the MHO but received none. However, he couldn't just wait and do nothing while waiting for the team to form, so he accessed the website for Hunters today as well. He asked around, dropping memos of his need to different freelancer Hunters, but received no reply. No one wanted to freely participate in a raid with an E-rank Hunter, except they were in a tight spot and needed a Hunter urgently to cover up the Hunter tally needed to tackle a dungeon. The same was the case with the last dungeon he raided with Sir Jack's team. They were simply in need of a Hunter to fill in the gap. 'Thanks to that, I made a lot of money, my levels went up, and I even got a new skill, too.' Should he feel grateful to Sir Jack, in that case? Hal let off a smirk 'Nah.' It was through his strength that he was able to gain all that, Sir Jack wouldn't originally have made him even kill a monster, not to talk of gaining loot
Chapter 28: Demon's Hellspawn (2)
It'd be easy to go mad from pain and wildly trash about, but that would mean losing the opportunity of proximity with the Cerberus, so Hal stayed his hand in pain, as he waited for the end of the three minutes to come, and it was almost here. '....178, 178, 180!' As soon as the timer in his head went off, Hal called on the system and finally revealed his hidden trump card. 'Collect the first reward, now!' He immediately collected the first reward from the daily quest, he had saved up until now. [Reward 1: 'Full recovery of the current physical condition' has been applied.] Swoosh! A blue light enveloped him and all depleted health reverted to their normal state. [HP: 500/500] Even his tattered left arm was good as new, in the blink of an eye. Hal didn't waste time in making his move, this was his chance, he thought. His eyes gleamed coldly as he reached out a hand and gripped the second neck of the Cerberus before stabbing his dagger right in the middle of its he
Chapter 27: Hell's Gatekeeper
Chapter 27Crackle! Pop!The closer Hal got to the burning tower, High Aflame as he chose to call it, the louder the noise of flames rampaging around grew."Can I even enter this thing in the first place?"While still in the thought of his chances of entering into that flaming building, Hal got near the entrance, but quickly came to a halt, as he sensed a strong aura near the entrance.'Mm?' He slowly surveyed his surroundings and spotted a black lifeform the size of a bull huddled in a slumber right in front of the doorway. Hal carefully summoned his dagger Steel. He walked as quietly as possible while approaching that creature. However, it was impossible to fool the olfactory sense of a monster. Soon enough, the creature sniffed the air, and its heads were raised in alarm.'Tsk tsk.' Hal clicked his tongue. The creature raised its body, fully standing, all its three heads turned towards Hal. [Hell's Gatekeeper, Cerberus] It was a huge dog possessing three heads. The name wri
