“Where is it? I have the crown! I don’t see it!”
A ghastly and disturbing voice came from the mist as it edged closer and shot bullet-like projectiles.
Samuel used his power to protect himself and the others, but it worked only once or twice as he ended up getting hit. While holding his bleeding knee, he gritted his teeth and clenched his left fist.
He literally punched the air, causing a blast of golden light to expand and clash against the mist, momentarily pushing it back. Zeke did not sit idly by either, he used the distraction offered by Samuel to use ‘Voltage Zap’ then ‘Spark’.
The lightning bolt pierced through the mist, from which a grunt of pain could be heard. As for the immobile floating lightning orb, it absorbed what was left of its caster’s Aether then reacted aggressively the moment one of the projectiles struck it.
An uncontrollable and loud torrent of lightning bolts exploded fo

Zeke OrlandAge: 17Height: 176 CmAppearance: An angular face, coal-like eyes, a short-bridged pointy nose, thin arching eyebrows, and barely noticeable signs of a growing mustache and beard. A usually unkempt raven-black hair and an average physique, neither too slim nor too fat. However, his recent and arduous physical training, coupled with the increase in his Agility and Strength stats were slowly but surely altering his body for the better.Trivia: Youngest son of Anthony Orland and Olivia Vyrsan, a quiet youth who had, over time, developed an inferiority complex due to his inability to use Aether, unlike his two older siblings. To make matters worse, his parents were extremely reproachful and did not show any love for him, instead, they cared about-face and the privileges of the gifted.It could be said that Zeke grew up without parental love. However, Edward Orland, his older and successful brother, cared a lot about him and spa
Paths of Extinction Chapter 14 Unexpected Visitors
“What is it that you want, Detective Vans?” A middle-aged woman with striking crimson hair and light make-up on her tired face was sitting opposite Samuel’s father. She was accompanied by her husband, a pale-faced man with narrowed sharp eyes and an angular face. Vans Valort stared at the couple with a deep frown. Even after stating his reason, the two were disinterested and showed no signs of worry. “I must urge you to look after your son. He could have died.” “Then he should avoid such shady places!” Snapped Olivia, her squeaky voice loud and attracting the attention of the other police officers. She and Anthony were wearing lab coats and reeked of a foul scent usually found in laboratories. “Even so, he might be traumatized after accidentally confronting the killer. His parents’ counsel would do him go-” “Mister Valort, your job is to catch criminals, not give lectures about parenting. Now, if you don’t have anything else to say, we must return to our work.” Anthony snorte
Paths of Extinction Chapter 15 The Tragic Fate
“What are you looking at? Want another beating?!”Julia hissed at the gloomy Rodrick, who was returned, at last. He was gloomily sitting in the back and glaring at Zeke’s back, his eyes burning from rage and hatred.What was worse than his defeat to Zeke was the beating he was subjected to by his father. He was yelled at and severely brutally punished. However, before he was allowed to return to school, he was healed of all visible injuries so as to not alert the school. Still, Rodrick blamed everything on Zeke but all he could do was remain silent and seethe with anger.“Don’t do anything stupid, Rodrick. You’ve lost and it’s time to move on.”Azmer, who sat next to him, solemnly whispered those words, but Rodrick snorted in response.“Move on? Now everyone is mocking me. That loser only got lucky!”“Rodrick…”Azmer tightly gripped his shoulder and l
Paths of Extinction Chapter 16 Remorse
“Mister Orland, I operate only within Erys.”“But the one behind it is a student here!”The old man looked back at the frustrated Zeke, neither replying nor reacting in any way. After a long silence, he leaned back and sighed, “You used to be a Defect, yes? You’re more likely to sympathize with other Defects and try to protect them. However, blaming someone without any proof could lead to dire consequences, Mister Orland.”“Without any proof? I was the one who attacked Amy in the park. I also saw her mother threaten Amelia’s parents and even ruin their restaurant.”Seeing the Dean, who refused to budge, Zeke angrily stomped the ground. “How about you check the disa
Paths of Extinction Chapter 17 Missing
The two crept closer to the warehouse and in less than a minute, they arrived at the half-open entrance. Zeke looked inside and saw a pale-faced Emilia kneeling on the ground, almost about to fall unconscious.Amy too, was frightened and tearful as she clung to her bodyguard.Amelia wasn’t there, instead, there were eviscerated bodies and the strong and nauseating stench of blood lingering in the air.‘She’s not here?’Even though Amelia was nowhere to be seen, Zeke did not remain in hiding for much longer. He pushed the creaking metal doors open.The moment the bodyguard turned around, he saw a thick bolt of lightning flying straight at him. He pushed Amy out of the way an

His search for Amelia was, ultimately, fruitless even after confronting Amy. Although it felt satisfying to inflict the same pain she subjected others to, it still did not quell the uncontrollable rage swelling within him.Now more than ever, he understood the unfairness and misery of life, especially if one lacked the necessary power, literally or figuratively. “She’s dead. Dead.”He let out a heavy
Paths of Extinction Chapter 19 Becoming a Monster
As soon as Nayro signaled the beginning of the spar, Julia shot toward Zeke like a cannonball. Her impressive agility notwithstanding, she couldn’t reach him in time as Zeke used ‘Life Motus’ to teleport to her side and sweep horizontally with his left leg.He was certain it was going to hit, but Julia’s body blurred and spun in a strange way, allowing her to counter-attack with a swift punch.His leg and her fist clashed against each other, causing both to stagger, but it was clear he was weaker. He felt pain rushing through his leg, as if he hit something hard and unbreakable.The girl did not let him the time to rest as she leapt forward and delivered a cascading kick.Unwilling to resort to the flashy skills from the Aether Voltage Path, Zeke crossed his arms above his head and braced himself for the impact.Alas, Julia seemed to have ignored Nayro’s warning as she used enough strength to hurt the average student. Still, Zeke resisted the incoming kick for a second before his body
Paths of Extinction Chapter 20 The 'Circles'
“This type of behavior cannot continue, Zeke. You have been issued a warning.”“Sorry sir.”Zeke seemed apologetic, but the strict Christopher was uncaring, reproaching him with the usual stern voice.It was all due to Zeke’s unwarranted absence the day before. He didn’t attend any of the lessons and searched for Amelia all day. Unless it was for Health reasons, Erys spared no effort to punish those who skip classes. Then again, it depended on whose lessons someone skipped. For instance, Professor Nayro never complained about absentees and whatnot, preferring to focus on those eager to learn and train.In contrast, Christopher was someone who followed the rules to the letter, and even misconduct wouldn’t escape his notice or punishment.“Let’s begin the lesson. Page 150 ‘Proto Demons’.”Zeke was particularly fond of History and Theoretical Aether Manipulation, not only because Christopher was good at his job, but because those were amongst the handful of subjects that did not require
