2024-12-08 10:01:47The camp was still, the night blanketing everything in silence. Talon sat cross-legged near his tent, eyes closed. His mind drifted, and soon a white, foggy door appeared in the void of his thoughts. He pushed it open, stepping into his personal space: Black Iron Talon.
The island looked the same as always—quiet, solitary, with colorful clouds rolling at its distant edges. At the center stood the familiar podium, glowing softly under a ray of golden light. Above it, a floating screen pulsed faintly.
“Admin,” Talon called out.
— How can I assist?
“When I enter Black Iron Talon, is it just my mind, or can I bring my body here too?” he asked, considering the potential for escape if things went south in a fight.

Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 31: Hunting the Wild Pastors
Talon gripped the Neophage Fang tighter, his focus locked on the task ahead. The monster horde thinned slightly as Orthur’s mental manipulations worked their way through the creatures, causing them to devolve into a mad frenzy against each other. With their perception distorted from his efforts, Talon moved like a shadow among them.He activated the Ring of Vitality on his finger.[Ring of Vitality][Grade: Preliminary— Increases stamina, health, and core energy by 10%]The ring’s energy flowed through him, sharpening his senses and easing the strain on his body. It wasn’t flashy, but it was exactly what he needed.With a deep breath, Talon dashed forward. The monsters near him reacted without realizing it—stepping aside, pausing mid-step, or turning slightly away. Talon passed through them like they didn’t exist. In their minds, he simply wasn’t there.In the Mental Plane, Orthur’s consciousness hovered above the swirling chaos of mind islands. He noticed a subtle shift, a new rippl

Axormus, the Wild Pastor, gritted his teeth as he darted through the ground like a living drill. Brythan’s relentless attacks were tearing through everything around him, leaving him no time to stop or even think. Every time he swapped positions with an unlucky animal using Position Swap, it bought him a second or two—but Brythan’s blades always followed.Above ground, Brythan laughed, standing calmly in the air on a floating broadsword. “Run all you want!” he called out. His voice carried over the battlefield. “You won’t escape me.”With his Wayfarer abilities, Brythan had already marked Axormus with coordinate tags. It didn’t matter how deep the Wild Pastor ran or where he swapped himself to. The moment he stopped moving, Brythan would be there.The air around Brythan shimmered again, and this time dozens of knives shot into the ground through an invisible portal.Beneath the earth, Axormus froze for half a second as the blades appeared—surrounding him, hovering in the dark.‘What?!’
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 33: The Demon’s Gaze
When Talon opened his eyes, he wasn’t on the mind island anymore. Instead, he stood inside a dark, cavernous space. The air was damp, thick with the smell of blood and burning herbs. Lit torches flickered, casting jagged shadows on the stone walls as if the darkness itself was alive.He scanned the room quickly, his eyes drawn to a large altar in the center. It was soaked in dried blood and surrounded by crushed herbs and strange markings, runes carved deep into the stone floor. Two black candles burned on the altar, their flames swaying unnaturally.As Talon stared at the candles, unease crawled over him. Bulges formed across their surface; faces, human faces, pressing outward like they were trying to escape. They twisted and pushed, their silent screams forming grotesque shapes in the wax.‘What the hell is this place?’ Talon thought, his breath shallow.He reminded himself that this was just a memory. It had to be. But that didn’t stop the goosebumps rising across his arms.A figur

Talon reviewed the new system notifications, his mind racing.[Major Quest: Perfect Rating Achieved.][Extra Rewards: Doubled completion rewards. Several heroes have perished attempting this feat. Proceed with caution.]It was his first time getting a completion rating, and seeing the word "Perfect" made him grin despite his exhaustion. Sure, he’d narrowly escaped death, but the rewards were worth it.A quick glance at his dashboard confirmed it: more system coins, karma points, and fortune tickets than he’d ever had. For a moment, pride swelled in his chest. He’d earned this.But the notifications weren’t finished.[Ding! Remaining Wild Pastors (2/4).] [Ding! Remaining Wild Pastors (3/4).]Talon froze. “What the...? Are they cleaning up shop without me? I can’t even get a crumb!”His irritation flared, but there was no time to sulk. He still held Orthur’s unconscious form in the mental plane. Just as he wondered what to do, Orthur’s body shimmered and disappeared.“What…?” Talon spu
Reborn with the Strongest System Chapter 35: The Storm Within
Talon’s body may have been unconscious, but his mind was wide awake, trapped on his storm-battered mind island.The sky above churned with dark clouds, and the surrounding sea roared with relentless waves. Nearby mind islands had vanished, swallowed by the chaotic waters of the Mental Plane. It didn’t take long for Talon to realize the storm was centered on him.“What’s happening?” he muttered, his voice barely audible over the crashing waves.The swirling chaos made him uneasy, like the Mental Plane itself wanted to wipe his mind island off the map. The question gnawed at him: Why?“System!” he called, hoping for a lifeline.To his surprise, the familiar synthetic voice responded.— Yes.Relief flooded through him. “What’s going on? Please, I need help!”— Analysis in progress. Please wait.Above his island, the storm intensified, forming abstract, shifting shapes within the clouds. They looked like fragments of corrupted data—fractals twisting and glitching, impossible to comprehend

Take the Karma!” he shouted desperately, hands shaking.— Processing…The lightning slammed into an invisible barrier above his island and dissolved into harmless sparks.— Karma balance sufficient. Wish granted.A deafening thunderclap shook the entire plane, followed by a blinding golden light slicing through the tsunami surrounding his mind island.

Peace returned to the Mental Plane.A notification popped into his mind, accompanied by the familiar chime:[Notice: -20 Karma. -5000 System Coins.]“What?!” Talon’s jaw dropped. “Coins too?

Magnus didn’t flinch when the attack hit him. Ash covered his chest, but his smile only grew wider. “Good! You want a fight? Then come on!” he yelled, his voice full of crazy energy.His body shifted, freezing into a solid mass of ice, the kind that looked like it could withstand any blow. He darted back into the dust storm, just as Brythan was thrown out of it. Brythan landed hard, his body twitching and shaking, clearly still reeling from the lightning that had slammed into him during his fight with the goblin.The goblin leader was quick. A ghostly gate opened behind him, pulling him toward it with a strange suction force. But instead of retreating, the goblin shot forward like a bolt of lightning, streaking toward Xara. In the blink of an eye, it slammed a lightning-charged fist straight at her head.

Gren’s voice broke the silence. “There’s a false wall here.” He pointed to a section of the cave wall, his finger steady.Without wasting a second, Jefor stepped forward. His palm shot out, and with a forceful push, the wall shattered, turning into sand. Beyond it, another tunnel appeared.The group didn’t hesitate. They quickly moved into the new passage. The air grew colder as they advanced, and this tunnel looked much older than the last. The walls were jagged and rough, worn down by time. Another ball of fire shot ahead, lighting the way. In less than two minutes, they reached a large cavern.It was massive, about 50 square meters in size. Moss and glowing crystals lit the space, making it look as bright as day.Talon’s eyes locked
Chapter 42: The Empty Cave
Talon and Orthur entered the cave, following the rest of the team. The mental world and the real world—both at once—was one of the best perks for anyone with a Mental-type profession. Not all Mental types could pull it off, but most could.Talon paused after a few steps. Orthur, walking ahead, turned back."Let’s go," he said.Talon shook his head. "I’ll stay behind, to make sure it doesn’t wake up."Orthur raised an eyebrow. "We don’t have time for that. How long do you think you can hold it?"Talon understood what Orthur was asking: how long he could keep fighting the creature in the mental world. He smiled. "As long as it wants."Orthur hesit
Chapter 41: The Grykell
"Xara!" Voices rang out, panic evident as she staggered back, coughing blood from the backlash of her failed attack.She wiped her mouth and gritted her teeth, glaring at the Grykell. Her eyes burned with power, activating her Death Gaze. The monster flinched, its glowing eyes dimming, and a crack appeared in its helmet like a glass splintering under pressure.“It’s too strong,” Xara admitted, her voice tight with frustration. “I can’t finish it off without weakening it first.”The Grykell roared, shaking the ground. A wave of dark energy exploded from its body, sending a gust of icy wind that forced the team to stumble backward.“We’ll handle it,” Orthur said, h

Vaila lay on the altar, staring blankly at the stone ceiling as Janice moved her hands slowly over her body. A soft, bluish light glowed from Janice’s palms, tracing over Vaila like a searchlight uncovering hidden truths.Janice let out a quiet sigh. “It’s worse than I thought,” she murmured, her voice tinged with regret.Vaila turned her head, eyes wide. “So you can’t help me?” Her chest tightened, the faint hope she had clung to starting to crumble. She hadn’t allowed herself to dream of a miracle, but Janice’s earlier confidence had given her a sliver of optimism. Now, it felt like it was slipping away.“I can help,” Janice said, hesitating. “But not as easily as I’d hoped. Your condition is... unique.”Vaila sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the altar. “Unique?” she asked, her voice trembling. “What does that mean?”Janice offered a sympathetic smile, brushing a lock of white hair from Vaila’s face. “It means you’re special. Extremely rare, actually. Your condition stems
Chapter 39: Promises of Riches
“Talia,” Luth called out happily.Talia Silverwing, Vice Captain of the Red Angels and Luth Silverwing’s older sister. She was known as War Angel, and was someone spoken of in the same breath as Selina Featherborne, Magnus Aerendel, and other powerful Warrior level Awakened. Behind her were four other members of the Red Angels, two men and women, each dressed like an adventurer, and each was a popular member of the Red Angel Guild. Luth ran to Talia’s side and quickly explained what was going on, causing Talia to frown in disgust, her colleagues also showed various emotions. “Your Eminence,” Talia stood in front of the opened carriage, facing Bishop Vicenzo face to face. “It seems you have a friend of ours in your retinue, may we take her with us?”Vicenzo had a genial smile at all times, but in her heart, he felt like he was bleeding. ‘Why did this b*tch get involved?’The Silverwings were powerful, apart from being a noble family, their family also had several Warriors, Squires,
Chapter 38: Complications in the Inner City
The winding paths and towering buildings of the inner city left Vaila in awe. She craned her neck to take in the intricate architecture, her crimson eyes sparkling with wonder. “Why are all the houses so tall?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity. Castor walked beside her, chuckling at her amazement. “The inner city’s space has always been limited, and expanding outward is expensive. Instead, the city planners decided to build upward. Most of these structures are older than both of us put together.” “That’s incredible…” Vaila trailed off, staring at the stone facades, each etched with carvings and ornate details. “They’ve also reserved the villas for visiting nobles, ambassadors, and dignitaries,” Castor continued, gesturing toward the luxurious mansions dotting the horizon. “Apart from the Duke’s palace, his family’s estate, and housing for high-ranking officials, almost no one lives here permanently.” As they passed rows of two-story shops, Castor pointed them out. “
Chapter 37: Unwanted Attention
Vaila and Castor made their way back toward the inn, her basket now filled with the few essentials she had managed to buy. The streets were busy as always, with merchants shouting to advertise their goods and children running between stalls, laughter echoing.Suddenly, the sharp crack of a whip cut through the air, followed by a woman’s scream.“Get out of the way, you damn peasants!” A guard’s voice bellowed, full of authority and disdain.The chaos that followed was instant. People scrambled to clear the road as a dozen mounted Holy Knights galloped through the street, their white robes and gleaming steel armor making them impossible to miss. The emblem of rolling hills and wheat ears marked their allegiance to the Holy Mother Church.Though they were called Holy Knights, they weren’t Awakened. They were regular men, hired muscle glorified by the church’s title.Vaila and Castor, caught off guard, were too slow to react. A whip lashed out, narrowly missing Vaila as Castor pushed her
