“You are meant to be perfect, Hoff,” A bearded man spoke towards a young Hoff Praya Crestia as the man slammed a piece of paper onto his desk, clearly angry about something Hoff had done. “Father… I’ve tried my best this is the result of my training. It’s all that I can do!” SLAP! Hoff’s right cheek was red. Though the pain may be little on his face, his heart was shredded. “When will you stop that attitude? You were granted the ability to learn everything that you could see. Yet, you let yourself become lazy enough by not training your Forte properly? How have you become so arrogant?” Hoff didn’t respond to his father. His white hair blocked vision in his eyes. Hoff couldn’t find a single word enough to describe his feelings towards his father. Hoff knows that no matter how much he speaks from his heart, his father wouldn’t reciprocate his feelings. Therefore, it’s no use. “Yes. Father,” Those were the only words he could ever say. Those were the words that his father wanted.
-~“Mylen, This is Zedafaust. The target has been neutralized. Though things may seem peachy, a wild card has arrived at the table. Deploying Victor Magnifica will be useful.”Zed walks through the forest, remembering the message he sent to Victoria.KekekeheheGiggling, he combed his hair backwards, entering a secluded factory near the Mylen Manor.Inside, there is a shaped glass prison. Within it, two familiar faces are confined within the prison. A girl and her mother with green hair and eyes.Zed walked casually into the control panel located beside the box."Grr! It's you again! Evil man !" Mika shouted as she hit the glass confinement."Kekekehehe, do everything you can to destroy the glass, I beg of you," Zed said towards Mika. She relentlessly barraged against the glass prison. However, it proved to be to hard to penetrate."Your mother, how is she? How is Ms. Quilla?""Shut up!" To Zed's surprise, Mika suddenly burst angrily towards him. He is by no means offended. He didn't
Serena once again leaps and disappears midair. Meanwhile, Maru charges at Zedafaust, landing a hit on his face. His hands moved flawlessly left and right, landing blow after blow while Zedafaust seemingly just took the attack.BUK!Maru then launched an uppercut onto Zedafaust's Jaw, sending him into the air."KUOH!!" As Zedafaust was about to fly over, his hand was grabbed by Maru, who pulled him back, followed by a punch into the throat.(No human can withstand a punch to the throat, even if that human has a Forte)Still holding to Zedafaust's right hand using his left hand, Maru landed a blow on his gut using his right knee.(I'll kill him now!)Maru placed his hands on Zedafaust's head.(No… this is not right… what if I misunderstood again?).As Maru began to waver, someone spoke to him."Hey… Are you done?""!!!""If you're done, then it's my turn next," Zedafaust spoke, showing his gleeful smile.(This guy! He doesn't seem hurt!)Zedafaust puts his hands on Maru's arms as he sw
(The cycle of death and life is a rule imposed upon this world.) (As people die, another will be born.) (No matter how much they try, no one can escape the fate of death.) (It is an unchangeable rule.) (So, he made a deal with the devil.) (He made a deal so that he may never die.) (He committed blasphemy and was granted the ability to cheat death.) (He is the protagonist of this story.) (It is the story of a man who sold his soul in exchange for knowledge and power.) (A merciless principle corrupted by ambition.) (The unkillable forte wielder, Zedafaust.) “MOM, MIKA GET BACK!” Maru shouted as he activated again, which he had deactivated after getting onto the rooftop. BOOM! An explosion occurred on the rooftop of the factory. “Mika, hold on! Don’t let go!” Serena spoke as she was desperately holding onto a disfigured handrail while also holding onto Mika. She didn’t respond, as a drip of blood was visibly running from her head. The explosion had harmed
Serena smiled as she saw Zedafaust tumble onto the ground. “You think you are the only one with tricks? Don’t make me laugh.”Zedafaust tried to stand back up. It took a while, but he stood tall again in front of Serena.“Predator’s Aura… what a childish Forte. The longer I look at your overwhelming aura, the stronger the fear effect inflicted on me, regardless of whether or not I am stronger than you.”Serena’s eye twitched, and she let out a sigh.“No chance of hiding it, huh? I suppose you know that from Maru. Rather, I think it's from Maru’s memory…”Zedafaust let out a little giggle and said, “What makes you say that? I am dying to know.”“You really wanted me to explain? Why would I reveal my knowledge about your power anyway?”“Who knows? Maybe I’ll confirm if it’s true or not…”Silence occurred between them.“There is no way anyone could ever use someone else's forte. Not to mention perfectly recreating it. Forte is an innate technique that differs from person to person based
“Mister Hoff, are you sure you would just leave them like that?” Xaviel said. “I…” “I’ll finish this for you. You need to go back to meet them!” “Xaviel…” (If I use it now, I can’t use any Forte for the rest of the day.) “Please let me do this for you, Mr. Hoff. I need to atone.” Xaviel said as he gave a reassuring smile. Hoff sighed and looked at Ria. “Ria, make sure to follow his commands, okay? Please do your best to support him.” “Will do, Sir!” Hoff gave a smile and started running in the direction of the other factory located near the site where the forest fire was seen. Hoff was lost in thoughts as he looked back at the Mylen Mansion. “Xaviel. Ria. Please be safe.” Xaviel saw Hoff going away and proceeded with their plan. (Before, Mr. Hoff said what he wanted to do besides saving his family.) (It was to liberate the Wielders, who had been abducted by the Mylen Family.) The mansion was around 4 acres. The size is due to the fact that it is where the court of Mylenia
Victoria Mylen sat at her throne, looking through her endless screenlike objects floating in the air. No one else could see those screens. It is only available to be seen by her. This is a part of her power of The concept of her power is quite simple. If someone inserted a foreign object into his/her body, in this case, Mylen uses her own customized small titanium sphere that she calls ‘receivers,’ it would allow her to control that person remotely. Now, she had developed her power, making it possible to control more than 200 people. (The reason the Prince came here is because he wanted me to capture Herbert Julio, aka the escapee from Priscote Town.) (I must not let him down.) (He would kill me if I fail now.) As she scrolled through the screens, he saw Xaviel enter the sublevel 4, where she kept most of her test subjects. She clicked her tongue. (Too bad for him. I had already relocated all of my test subjects a few hours prior. I know this would h
(Ever since my battle with Krey.) (I have felt something is different.) (It’s like I found a secret to mastering the Forte.) Xaviel closes his eyes. (My theory is that, as all powers do, there is a time when our performance is at its peak.) He took a deep breath. (The reason for my theory is the fact that the human brain is not always working optimally.) (Nothing inside of humans always works optimally.) (If we ever graph it, it would probably look more like a ripple signal.) (The panels…) (MED and The Dark Blue Panel.) (They are figments of my imagination due to my interpretation of how to use Forte.) (Why panels, though?) (This probably happened because I watched too many animations or manga regarding systematical power or litrpg fantasies.) Xaviel raised his right hand, aiming at the soldiers facing Ria. (I will use this power to defeat and save the people controlled by Victoria Mylen.) (I named this skill [Phantasy]) His body slowly emitted a white aura as he unlea
