2025-01-25 00:43:19Adam 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 the day to yourselves for practice.”
He pointed toward several designated zones across the field.
“Each area is tailored to test specific types of abilities. The elemental users were directed to the eastern zone. Strength-type users were in the central arena.
Speed or agility specialists, to the west. And those with unique abilities gathered north.
Commander Darius and the rest of the instructors were around on standby, watching and ready to intervene if anyone was to accidentally lose control.
Adam glanced at Eve, her cold aura was shimmering faintly around her as she walked towards him before heading east to join the elemental users.
Seraphina Kennedy was already in the eastern zone, standing out among the recruits with her effortless poise and commanding presence.
Adam made his way to the northern zone for unique abilities. A small number of recruits had joined him, many of their expressions filled with a mix of confusion and awe.
Marcus strutted to the central arena, still glaring at Adam as if his very existence was an affront.
Adam’s first exercise was a simple test: focusing on summoning his ability by following the instructions that the system had shown him.
Focus your energy around your hand and imagine what you want to summon.
He closed his eyes, trying to tap into the wellspring of energy he felt within.
As he focused his energy, a sudden flash of golden light erupted from his hands, forming a small sphere that hovered in the air.
The other students in the northern zone stared, some in awe, others in envy. Adam clenched his fists, willing the sphere to dissipate.
Commander Darius was observing this from behind, he walked closer to the Adam after seeing this.
“Good,” came his voice behind him. Adam turned to see Commander Darius observing him. “Primordial Light, huh? There have been records of rare and unpredictable abilities before, but apparently, even the great scholars from Arc Erudinia have never found anything of this nature in their records. It seems to be a versatile ability from what I can tell, but it will take you time to master its full usage. Keep practising.” He ordered and the students who had stopped what they were doing to watch Adam went back to practising their skills.
Adam nodded, at Commander Darius as a sign of appreciation for the advice. His determination growing.
Over the next few hours, he experimented with his powers, learning that the light could be moulded into constructs.
From temporary shields, beams of energy, and even a glowing blade. Each use drained him of his energy, though the system in his mind seemed to be guiding him, subtly replenishing his stamina.
What Fascinated Adam the most was how he would create two or more objects at a time, although it drained his energy and stamina, he figured he could train hard over the years and build large energy and stamina reserves.
What Adam was the most excited over was the lack of limitation on what he could shape the energy into. His options are truly limitless.
Meanwhile, in the eastern zone, Eve was making rapid progress. Her cryokinesis manifested almost naturally to her will in elegant, deadly ways: icicles forming at her command, walls of frost rising to shield her, and delicate snowflakes swirling in patterns of her design.
Seraphina, on the other hand, unleashed waves of fire with precise control, her pyrokinesis dancing in tandem with her movements.
As these two practised at the center of the zone side by side, the remaining students who had awoken elemental type ability had to give them a considerable distance to avoid getting caught up in their abilities.
This was also the same thing that was happening at the back of the elemental users zone where three Pures with the same family insignia on their Shoulders were practising their abilities. One of them had a wind ability and the other two had water abilities.
By the time the sun set, the recruits were exhausted but exhilarated at the same time. They returned to their quarters with a newfound sense of purpose and determination. On their way back, after exiting the section fourteen awakening chamber, Adam ran into Marcus, who looked frustrated despite his impressive strength-based performance. As both of them were tired, none of them made any move against the other.
The next morning, the recruits gathered in the main hall of the base. Commander Darius stood at the podium, flanked by a team of senior instructors.
“Welcome to the tenth regiment Cadets. Today, you will be assigned to classes based on your abilities and performance during the awakening. These assignments are not permanent; your progress will determine your future placement. You will train under specialized instructors who will push you to your limits.”
“There are currently a total of thirty-two regiments on this Arc, each with one thousand Cadets registered. As part of Regiment 10, each of you will be assigned to a class with 100 students, which means we will have 10 classes in each regiment.”
A holographic display lit up, showing a list of names under various class headings. There are a total of ten classes Adam scanned the list until he found his name.
Class seven:
Seraphina Kennedy.
Eve Reed.
Adam Reed.
Adam blinked in surprise. The idea of being in the same class as Eve was comforting enough, but to be in the same class as Seraphina? A Pure with an S-ranked ability? It was both daunting and thrilling for him.
The other names in Class 7 were a mixture of a few more S-ranked Pures, with lots of Ascendants, their ranks ranging from B5 to A5. Adam noticed Marcus had been placed in Class Three, his name listed beside other Ascendants with abilities ranked B2 and below.
Shortly after, the students gathered according to their classes and moved to the location assigned to the class.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

It was the last day of school for the children on Arc Inferna, their last day as free children. It is the law set by the military a hundred years ago for every person who turns 18 to be enrolled in the military for training on Arc Aegis for 2 years. Arc Aegis is the largest human military base, floating only 10,000 kilometres from Arc Elysium. Every student is excited, for many, this will be the only time that they will travel outside Arc Inferna.Many students were at the school compound, taking pictures and celebrating the completion of their childhood.Somewhere in the Abandoned Quadrant of Arc Inferna. Adam lay sprawled in the dirt, his vision blurred from the swelling around his eyes. Blood dripped from his split lip onto the cracked metal floor beneath him. His body ached with every shallow breath he took, ribs screaming in protest from the relentless kicks he'd endured. The laughter of his tormentors echoed through the empty corridor of the lower district, the forgotten parts

Eve 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.
