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

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.

Class 7 stood in orderly rows, awaiting instruction.His sister, Eve, was nearby, her icy blue eyes scanning the field with a quiet determination.

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.

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!

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

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?
