2025-01-17 00:28:31Eve nodded, her calm exterior unbroken, but Adam saw the faint smile tugging at her lips. She had done it, she has broken through the limitations imposed on them.
As Eve joins the group on the other segment of the chamber, Adam notices Marcus glaring at her, his jealousy barely concealed. Adam knew immediately that they would face more challenges, but for now, they are taking a significant step forward.
Adam’s name came after a few others. He stepped forward, his strides steady, his gaze fixed ahead. He felt the weight of countless eyes, some filled with disdain, others with curiosity.
He proceeded inside the awakening pod and sat as instructed. The robotic arm inside the pod injected him with the vial of the awakening serum on his arm. The serum flowed into his veins like liquid fire. His vision blurred, and his body felt as though it were being pulled apart and rebuilt simultaneously.
His pod began vibrating and shaking rigorously, pulsing white light before becoming engulfed in a brilliant golden light.
Inside the pod, Adam’s system had flared a large window colored red in his vision, with numerous smaller notification windows popping all over the place.
The system has detected foreign genetic substances in the host body. Calculating possible outcomes. Fusing effects.
On the outside, everyone’s attention had shifted to Adam’s pod, the other nine students who entered their pods alongside him had already awakened normally and stepped down.
Commander Darius pushed the students aside and stood in front.
Soldiers in dark metallic armor ran forward, each of them carrying a large shield embedded with a distinct red crystal. They each placed their shields in front and ducked behind it, creating a wall of shields between the students and the pod that was continuously glowing brighter and brighter in brilliant golden color.
“Poor Lad, his pod must have malfunctioned. We need to contain it before it explodes. The temperature inside is over 200 degrees, the boy inside can't possibly be alive.” He commented.
“Get me a B-ranked phaser or above right now! ” he shouted to the soldiers standing by the door to the exit.
Inside the pod, Adam’s system finally displayed a green window.
Congratulations.
Fusion complete. Ability: Primordial Light. Rank: Unknown.
Adam’s heart raced as his body adjusted to the changes. The overbearing brilliant light about to blow up the pod instantly subsided, leaving large cracks on the glass.
The Large display monitor above the pod had a crack on the screen as well, but when everyone looked at it, confusion suddenly enveloped the chamber.At this point, Commander Daruis had dismissed the soldiers and walked closer to the platform, inspecting Adam with a curious gaze.
“Just what are you? How is it possible that you survived such a malfunction?” He asked.
“And just what is up with this ability you awoken?” Darius murmurs to himself as the screen showed.
Name: Adam Reed. Ability classification: Primordial Light. Ability Rank: Unknown.
When Adan stepped out of the half-destroyed pod, his eyes were gleaming yellow light, his skin paler than ever and the patch of white hair on his head was now covering one-third of his hair.
Students were asking questions among themselves and chattering voices enveloped the room as Adam walks over to the testing side.
As the session concluded, Commander Darius addressed the recruits. "You have all taken your first step toward greatness. Your abilities, whatever they may be, will define your future roles in protecting humanity. Prepare yourselves; the real trials will begin tomorrow"
Adam glanced at Eve, who stood beside him, her presence had a cold air around her and Alec was clearly shivering standing next to her.
Somewhere at the corner of the room, a slender old man in a red military uniform decorated with a single golden star on each shoulder, he had deep blue eyes and long white hair running down alongside his white beard.
While stroking his beard, he nodded his head and stood from his chair.
As soon as he stood from where he was seated, three men and two women in the same red uniform ran to him, each of them is silver-grade commander with three silver stars on their shoulders.
One of the women walked closer and kissed the ring in his hand.
“The young master has successfully awakened an S-Ranked strengthening ability.” She said.
With an approving nod, the man said.
“I do not expect nothing less of him.”
They turned and started walking outside the chamber when he turned and took one more look at Adam.
“That young man has awakened a troublesome ability, I have to report this to the family head.” The man said softly while laughing pridefully as they exit the chamber of section 14.

Adam stood in the testing chamber, his eyes glowing faintly golden, his thoughts racing. The new sensation coursing through his body was like nothing he’d ever felt before. He could hear the quiet hum of vast energy pulsing just beneath his skin.The recruits were led to a sprawling simulated outdoor training field on the other section of the awakening chamber, right after the awakening session has completed.The atmosphere buzzing with a mix of excitement and tension. The field was a massive expanse of reinforced earth and artificial grass, ringed by towering holographic panels that displayed ongoing activities and records of legendary soldiers who have passed through the same process.Commander Darius stood before them, with his sharp gaze scanning the group.“Today, you will begin to familiarize yourselves with your newfound abilities. Over time, you will learn to control your awakened powers. This is critical. Untrained abilities are a liability, not an asset. You have the rest of
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 14: Class Assignment
Class Seven assembled in a specialized training hall, its walls lined with holographic panels depicting combat scenarios. Commander Darius strode in, his presence commanding immediate silence. Behind him were two women, each of them was a silver-grade commander, with the same three silver stars on their shoulders.“Welcome to class seven,” he began, his tone both stern and encouraging.“You are here because of a randomized computer matching. You all have good potential to become strong. But potential means nothing without effort. Your training here in Aegis consists of three different fields. Combat, history and Ability. Each class is assigned three Commanders as their teachers. As many of you already know, my name is Darius Kane and for the next two years, I will be your class combat instructor. Your combat classes are held three times a week.” He said, stepping backwards.One of the women stepped forward to the podium. She was a young woman, her golden hair was an indicator of her c
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 15: Combat Training begins.
The next day day arrived, the morning sun shone brightly over Arc Aegis, casting a golden glow over the expansive training grounds where recruits stood in formation, anticipation was heavy in the air.Today was another important day for their combat and ability training. It was their introduction to utilising their abilities in combat, two classes in one go just like Commander Astra had informed them the day before.When they arrived at the hall, a large projection screen was put on the wall with a breakdown of 20 groups, each with 5 members.Adam adjusted the collar of his standard-issue military uniform, glancing at the faces around him, looking for his group members. Class 7 stood in orderly rows, awaiting instruction.His sister, Eve, was nearby, her icy blue eyes scanning the field with a quiet determination. Beside her was Alec standing, a broad-shouldered Ascendant with golden hair carrying a massive shield strapped to his back.Just like Marcus, Alec had awoken a unique body s
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 16: Team Battle
A special reward? Adam wondered. The system had never used such terminology before. It always stated what the rewards of the missions it gave him were, so what exactly counts as a special reward.But Adam had no time to figure out what the special reward was.As soon as Darius gave the order, the team battle erupted instantly.Jaxon’s group moved aggressively towards Adam’s group, charging forward with overwhelming force. Adam barely had time to react before Jaxon was on him, swinging a heavy metal baton straight for his ribs.Adam instinctively raised his Primordial Light sword. It shimmered brightly as it met Jaxon’s attack. For a moment, it held firm, but the sheer force of the strike caused cracks to form along the glowing blade.Weapon Integrity: 70%. The system interface displayed in a translucent window that only Adam could see.Adam gritted his teeth in shock, countering with a quick slash aimed at Jaxon’s shoulder. Jaxon saw the attack and twisted out of the way, his speed un
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 17: The Test of Potential
After arriving at their respective dormitories, Adam and Eve were informed of the plan that Astra had for them the next morning. Adam was a little unsure of the idea of meeting a Pure in her personal training room, he was afraid that she may harbour ill intent towards them.But there was nothing he could do about that, they were military cadets now and she was a class instructor, her commands and orders were absolute.After he had eaten his dinner, Adam sat in the dormitory, staring at the holographic interface of his system visible only to himself.Ever since his awakening, the Primordial Beast System had been an enigma, offering him power but withholding its secrets. Today, however, a new notification appeared in front of him during the combat practice, a mission reward that was unknown.He opened the windows he had dismissed earlier to see what message they have.Congratulations! You have unlocked the passive skill: Inspection Eye.Ability type: Passive.This ability allows the use

Adam felt the weight of her words, remaining silent to thing about it properly.Astra lifted a hand, and suddenly, the thin strands around her fingers extended like whips. They lashed forward, stopping just before touching Adam’s skin."These are my strings," she explained. "I can weave them into anything I can imagine, cutting, binding, reinforcing, even reinforcing my armor. They are an extension of my will."Then, with a flick of her wrist, the strings lashed toward Adam. Instinctively, he summoned his Primordial Light, and a golden barrier flared to life around him. The strings struck the light, it didn't penetrate at first, but suddenly, the barriers broke."Good," Astra said, nodding. "You are fast with your reaction time, now, let’s see if you can shape it."Adam clenched his fists, focusing on his energy. The light around him pulsed and changed, forming a sturdy structure around him. It was like a glowing exoskeleton, an armor of pure energy.Astra’s eyes gleamed with approval
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 19: Reality Check
Adam thought about the question for a moment before shaking his head.With a big smile on his face, he reached his hand patted Eve on the head.“You don’t need to worry about making the decision right now. You have a whole year to prepare for the possibility, why rush it now?”Eve had calmed down even more, what Adam just did was what others call family tradition, a love language or unique way of expressing love. Since they were children, way before Eve was announced to have double awakening potential, she was the silly cry-baby among the two of them.Outcasts, even as children, do not have the sympathy of society. As orphans, their guardianship in the hand of the Kennedy family extends only to their essential survival needs. An apartment, food, that was all.Growing on their own, Adam and Eve were alone even as children. Whenever Eve was bullied or get scared, Adam would pat her head gently and calm her down.She smiled back at him.“You are right. I should focus on building my stren
Primordial Beast System EPISODE 20: Reality Check 2.
After class, recruits splilled into the corridors, talking amongst themselves. Adam walked beside Eve and Alec, his thoughts still tangled in the weight of the lesson.Then, a voice called from behind.“Reed!”Adam stopped. He knew that voice.Turning, he found himself face-to-face with Alden Vaelis, one of the highest-ranked Pures in their regiment.Tall, with short silver hair and piercing blue eyes, Alden carried himself with effortless arrogance. He wasn’t just any Pure, he was a prodigy. An S-ranked cadet, rumored to be one of the strongest in their generation. Everyone knew him.He gave a speech on behalf of the cadets that was broadcasted over the seven Arcs. Of course, Adam knew him.“But how did he know me?” Adam wondered.Alden looked at Adam as if he were an anomaly, something that shouldn’t exist.“I’ve been hearing some interesting things about you,” he said, folding his arms.Adam didn’t blink. “Oh yeah? Like what?”Alden’s lips curled into a smirk. “That an Outcast thin

EPISODE 29: Lucius
Adam’s heart hammered in his chest as he stepped forward into the center of the arena. His mind raced with memories of every sneer, every jeer directed at him, every moment when he was forced to crawl from the gutter.Now, before him, stood the embodiment of everything he had fought against. Lucius Draven’s silhouette emerged at the far end of the arena—a figure shrouded in dark armor and an aura of cold brutality. His every movement exuded lethal precision, his eyes glinting with the promise of pain.As the countdown began, “Five… Four… Three… Two… One…”—Adam’s system interface flashed in his mind. His muscles tensed, his focus narrowed, and for the first time, the scars of his past became a distant memory—replaced by the burning desire to rewrite destiny.The arena erupted into chaos as the match commenced. Lucius advanced with a speed and ferocity that belied his legendary status, his every step a calculated strike against the very notion of mercy, looking for opening to deal devas
EPISODE 28: The Gauntlet of Trials
The next day, the arena’s harsh lights blazed overhead as the tournament rounds continued. The arena’s colossal, circular was filled to the brink by students, tutors and spectators alike.The holographic screens encircled the rings, displaying live feeds, combat stats, and roiling images of victories and defeats from previous rounds. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation and tension, a charged silence punctuated by the occasional roar of the crowd and the clang of weaponry.From one side of the arena, Seraphina and Eve shone like beacons, seated among the qualifiers for the next stage of the tournament waiting for the first stage to be over. Both had already emerged triumphant in their earlier matches. Though absent from the pit of combat today, they observed the proceedings from the sidelines.Seraphina’s piercing blue eyes, cool and calculating, betrayed a flicker of worry as she surveyed the other team members. Eve’s calm yet resolute expression spoke volumes; despite her win,
EPISODE 27: Defying labels
Her opponent was none other than Aldric Valmont, a renowned Pure fighter whose reputation for impeccable technique and strategic brilliance was widely celebrated on Arc Aegis. Aldric’s presence exuded an aura of superiority; his silver hair and icy blue eyes marked him as one of the elites. As he strode confidently into the center of the arena, the tension in the air thickened to an almost unbearable density. When Aldric looked into Eve’s eyes, he was even more shocked to see they were blue.“Cadets, prepare yourselves,” the announcer intoned. “Let the battle commence!” he shouted.The signal rang clear, and the duel began. Aldric advanced with a series of precise, calculated strikes, each movement carried the impact of the years of disciplined training he had gone through. His weapon—a gleaming, intricately designed energy blade—sliced through the air with deadly precision, a blur of silver aimed directly at his opponent.But Eve was no novice to combat. Despite the stigma attached t
EPISODE 26: Abomination
The next day, students were gathered at the grand coliseum of Arc Aegis. Today’s military tournament was highly anticipated.Under the luminous glow of Nytherite-powered floodlights, hundreds of recruits and military officials gathered in the combat arena, their murmurs flooding the entire place.At the center of the arena stood numerous raised platforms, their smooth surfaces contrast the rugged energy of the combat zones around them.Holographic scoreboards hovered in the air with digits and symbols flickering with the names and rankings of combatants.As the announcer’s voice boomed over the speakers, the crowd fell silent.“Welcome, cadets and honored guests, to today’s round of the military tournament at Arc Aegis! Today, we shall continue the fights from where we left off yesterday. Let the competition begin!”The first match of the day was slated for one of the most anticipated combatants: Seraphina Kennedy, the brilliant Pure whose pyrokinesis had already become legendary.Cla
EPISODE 25: Clash of the Shields
The atmosphere in Arc Aegis had shifted overnight. Tension and excitement buzzed through the corridors like a living storm. In a vast, purpose-built arena district specially designated for the Inter-Base Military Tournament, recruits from all over the Arcs had been gathered to witness the ultimate test of skill and strength.None of the competitors could hide the anticipation in their eyes. Every recruit knew that this was an opportunity to etch their names into the history of the Arc.On the marble-floored central plaza of the tournament area, Base 7’s team assembled in neat formation. Military officers in dark, imposing uniforms barked final instructions. Amid the throng, Adam stood with his sister Eve at his side.Alec Rho, one of the ten members of Base 7 and the team’s specialist shield bearer, flexed his arms as he prepared himself mentally. His Ascendant-class training had honed his ability to manifest an energy shield in combat, and today, he was determined to prove that his sk
CHAPTER 24: Weapons Test.
General Kael, the commanding officer of Base 7, stepped forward. All of them instantly recognized and collectively saluted him. “Enough with the pleasantries”, he snarled. “Each of you will choose a specially designed nytherite weapon that will complement your ability. These weapons are designed to enhance combat prowess.”One by one, the recruits made their selections. Eve chose a sleek Nytherite bow, its energy-infused arrows humming with explosive power.Adam approached the racks, his fingers grazing the hilt of a curved sword. The moment he touched it, a spark of golden energy flared between them. The weapon resonated with him."A fine choice," General Kael remarked. "That blade reacts to those with unique energy signature."He turned to Eve, watching her carefully. He nodded his head in approval and laughed arrogantly.“You twins are more popular than you know, but I am satisfied.” He said, looking at Darius before walking closer to where Eve was standing.“These arrows are made
EPISODE 23: Nytherite Weapons.
Adam pressed his back against the cold metal wall of the dormitory corridor, his breath still ragged from the night's escape. His uniform was scuffed, dirt clinging to his boots from the restricted sector he'd barely managed to flee. Even now, as he stood outside the entrance to his shared room, the echoes of Arc Aegis' patrol guards barking orders still rang in his ears.He'd been on the run for hours, evading detection after being forced into the penalty survival mission. The system had thrust him into a brutal test on the harsh surface of the planet that was dominated by extremely dangerous beasts, a trial where the only outcome was survival or death. And yet, here he was, a survivor.His fingers trembled as he placed them on the access panel of his dorm room. A soft beep signalled the door unlocking, and as he stepped inside, he exhaled a breath of relief.The dormitory was silent, his arrogant Ascendant roommates were deep in their slumber.Adam sighed in relief, dropping onto hi
EPISODE 22: Survival
The ground beneath Adam was a patchwork of ruin and decay, the air thick with the stench of desolation. As he stood amidst the remnants of an obliterated world, the extremovores began to emerge from the shadows, their forms a nightmarish blend of earth's former fauna twisted into grotesque predators.But among them, one creature stood out—a colossal spider, its body a mass of dark, chitinous armor, with limbs that gleamed like wicked scythes under the sunlight. When he looked at the spider’s face, he was stunned, as if he was looking into the eyes of a demon.The system window appeared.Survival Test Initiated: Objective: Survive for 10 minutes.Reward: Return to Arc Aegis.Adam's breath came in short, sharp gasps, the weight of survival heavy upon him. He knew the stakes; failure here was not just a setback but a plunge into oblivion. He willed his Primordial Light into existence, the golden glow offering formed a protective layer around his body and formed two long swords.Normally
EPISODE 21: Penalty
In the upcoming days, Adam did everything he could that would earn him EXP points. He pushed each body fitness quest the system gave him, sometimes going overboard and exceeding the limit of what the system had asked him to do. He eventually obtained 2 passive level 1 skills, the first one being stealth, which allows him to dampen the sound of his footsteps, but the system had explained to him that if he level up the skill, it’s application can be changed.The second one was a distortion skill that changes his face according to his wish.Today, Adam decided to visit the Skyview Museum, an entertainment and relaxation facility on Arc Aegis that preserves the history of humanity, with displays of ancient artefacts and paintings from a long-lost era.Although Adam was quite interested in the relics of the past, the main attraction that brought him to the place was the large viewing station of the Museum that showed a live view of the sky below them.The facility had served as the only ent
