Scarlett jumped into action, meeting two of the ligers half way.'Inspect' Maple was there so she couldn't shout out her skill so said them inwardly.[Ligress][1 star beast][Level: 5][H.P: 200/200[SOP: 50][Ligress][1 star beast][Level 5][H.P: 200/200][SOP: 50]Scarlett lowered her strength to about 20% before sending out a kick towards the first liger. Despite the decrease in strength the liger was still sent flying 5 meters away.-50 Scarlett's one kick had basically chiped away a quarter of the beast's hp."What the what?" Maple screamed in surprise. Honestly, Maple's ability was useless right now so she could only stall for time and wait for the others to help her out.She was a metal ability user, in the future she would really appreciate how strong her ability is but right now she could only control metal of it was just metal, she couldn't separate them from other elements.Scott and the others did not care about holding back, as they could be considered other versions
A magnificent ice castle suddenly appeared, startling Scarlett for a bit."There's an ice pool at the center of the castle, your first test is to get a trident from within the pool," the woman said."And the second?" Scarlett asked curiously."Making it out alive. Good luck" after saying that, the lady walked away but not before teleporting Scarlett into the castle.After Scarlett was teleported inside she was surprised yet again. The interior of the castle was much bigger than the outside and what she dreaded the most 'stairs'."This place is sick!" Scott screamed from within the mind place but no one blamed him. If one were to ignore the fact that the place was freezing then it was an awesome place.The numbers of erected pillars were a lot and Scarlett wasn't really in the mood to count. Each pillar had its unique feature, some had snakes carved on them in a way that looked creepy while others had the heads of different enhanced beasts she had never seen before. Well not like every
"Breathe"Scarlett at first thought she was joking but this was Aviva, will she play such jokes? unlikely. So the next second she released her breath and something fascinating happened, Scarlett inhaled and exhaled and was shocked. "I can breathe underwater?""So you're a mermaid now, nice" Scott smiled before he continued. "I would say we try out your new powers but time is running out, the test lady must have started wondering if you're a fish by now"Scarlett ignored him and continued scouting for the trident. After 3 minutes she saw something glistening at the bottom, instantly she swam towards it. She picked up the trident and immediately went back up, leaving the pool."What the hell, what sort of pool is almost 100 meters deep" she groaned after she exited the pool."I think we have a worse problem" Scott suddenly pointed out drawing Scarlett's attention.The pool started boiling furiously, causing some of its water to escape. Scarlett gasped before running away as if her life
At the marketplace, Scarlett received the sudden idea that they all split and implemented it, deciding that each of them went separate ways to explore on their own.Scott never had a problem with staying in the mind space all the time but he still appreciated Scarlett's kind gesture. The others were also inwardly pleased that Scarlett thought about them.Scott was always a free guy and spoke his mind without having anything hidden so you could always tell his feelings if you look closely. Without fear of getting lost, he walked out of the market since no matter where he was he would always be able to return to the mind space.After walking, while under the glaring hot sun, he stumbled on something, he took a look and saw something cylindrical protruding out of the soil. The other part was buried leaving only a small part visible.Scott took it upon himself to uproot whatever it was and in no time, a brown container with visible blue parts was in his hands. From those visible blue part
SSO was created with the experience of the students in mind as some of them might be staying for three years, to be precise the 'freshers'.As it is a platform for every SSA in the continent there could be no shortage of excitement as only that way could they gain the student's focus.SSO is very much like a VR game with numerous little tribes and cultures only it was just limited to the students and teachers of all SSAs.Scott was one of the many unfortunate souls to encounter a cultural issue so early."Mistress? Wife? what nonsense are you talking about"Scott stared at Obehi confused, things were changing faster than he could keep up and he had no plan of stressing his brain. Not understanding the issue the first time meant he needed an explanation and if they weren't going to give him one then he didn't mind much."Nonsense, are you going to go back on your word now, you think I'm not enough?!" Obehi shouted angrily."Can someone please tell me what the hell is wrong, shouting at
Scarlett stood in front of instructor Talon, listening closely as he exile the different tiers of the fire ability."While other instructors believe that there is no ability stronger than the other, I like to believe the fire is at the top, understanding your ability makes it stronger""Every ability has its tier, ranging from five to ten. Fire has seven, the first tier is 'Fire Control'"'That isn't so badAs if reading Scarlett's thought instructor Talon scoffed before he continued. "Fire control doesn't just involve you setting something on fire, your control over its will is what counts. Will it stop burning when you ask it to or will it continue to burn even after your orders?""Abilities were never ours in the first place, it's a way of earth's compensation towards our different lack to its current evolution so abilities do have a mind of their own, you have to tame them""Moving on, each tier of an ability has two sides, control over your element and that of others"Scarlett st
"I have to complete this quest soon, 24 hours is almost over," Scott said before walking out of the room given to him but then he saw Obehi walking towards him from afar and immediately went back to the room. He had gotten an idea and planned to utilize it.'Don't know if it will work or not but there's one way to find out' he thought before using the small knife on the fruit plate to slightly injure his neck. The injury was healing at a fast pace but at least blood came out and stained his neck.Scott then sat down on the couch making low groaning noise and pretending to struggle.Obehi entered Scott's room and saw him groaning while closing his eyes. She immediately panicked and went to him cupping her face in her hands."What's wrong with you?" after caressing his face for a long time she noticed the blood on his neck and gasped.Scott gave himself a thumbs up before slowly opening his eyes to see Obehi's teary eyes, a part of him felt guilty but he used the fact that she was an NP

You must find clues of her whereabouts on your own][Quest can be shared with a maximum of 10 players][Difficulty: S+][Quest item: Rainbow stone]"I'm back baby, who missed me?" Scott shouted upon entering the mind space."No one, you are causing a major disturbance just as you arrived" Angelica scoffed."The peace was great while it lasted" Mary commented, moving her glasses."I don't care what you guys say, I got a quest" Scott folded his arms."Yeah, like we couldn't get one""Angelica please don't bring yourself down to his level, and you guys should get out a bit, we need to talk" Scarlett sighed. She was tired of having to separate their squabble every single day.The souls appeared except Aviva and Scarlett decided to ignore them. Aviva was behaving too strangely these days and there was no time to address the issue yet.«Name: Scarlett»
Two hours later, Wallace regained consciousness with absolutely no recollection of himself, he was completely blank."Let's begin separation and then we'll call for the young master" Dr. Link said to the other men in white coats.Wallace was then moved to a circular table where his code would be temporarily removed. Things were done carefully this time as they made him unconscious again.Several minutes later, a floating disk with a white manacore sitting on top flew towards the glass pod in the center of the room and ever so gently placed the manacore inside it.After the manacore was placed in, other floating disks started appearing, each carrying a purple or red mana core and then flying towards the opening of the pod.What happened then was a feast for the eyes. As the other manacores entered the pod, each released a hue that was absorbed by the white core.Thirty minutes later, the white core was brought out again, still retaining its color even after absorbing all those differen
Deep in an underground facility, a young man stared at the reports in his hand and smiled. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart."You have finally found a way to wipe his memory?""Yes, young master and you should probably continue reading the report" the man standing beside him said.The young man being referred to as young master nodded and continued reading until his eyes widened. "White? How is that possible?""I had them redo the test a couple of times but it kept giving the same results," the assistant said."A white mana core? It sounds unbelievable, the highest so far is gold and Aviva is the only one we have captured with a golden core, how can there be white all of a sudden" the young man lost his composure.While the world was still in the dark about mana core and other related subjects, he had been studying them for years."I was shocked as well, but isn't this a good thing? We have someone stronger than Aviva ever was" the assistant said."Do not say that...Aviva had
Few hours later Scarlett logged out. Fortunately, she got almost everything, the one thing remaining was elemental stones, not just hers but for the others too and she was hoping on them to get the coins she needed to buy them.After putting down her glasses, she was greeted by Maple's angry expression."I thought you said it was important?""It is important" Scarlett mumbled and then shook her head. She told her everything Alan told her while removing a lot of things though and inputting hers just to be safe."How do you even know all of that?" Maple eyed her suspiciously."Well actually..." Scarlett tried to explain but she was interrupted by Maple."Don't tell if you don't want to. I can't take it when you lie to me" Maple sighed with a dejected look. Ajax wasn't the only reason she was stressed, she had no idea what Scarlett must be going through but she wasn't telling her about it.Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward she decided to change the topic."Where are your ghost frien
Nebillon city had many markets, there was even a grocery market but players rarely went there, although one could eat in SSO. It was still advised to log out at least once in two months.As SSO was a prototype it could have many unforeseen side effects, well at least that's what the students thought and the only thing keeping them at bay were these thoughts.Scarlett made her way into the busy market looking for any life-saving tool although she already had one, it didn't hurt to have another. Losing her hard earn levels was a nightmare, not because she was afraid to fight more creatures but because she had no time. It was just a week before the assessment and losing just one level could spell the end for you.She then walked into a store that sold accessories made of jade. Most life-saving tools were accessories so a good start."Welcome, welcome!!" an enthusiastic voice came from the other side of the counter."Hello?" Scarlett tilted her head in confusion. She heard the voice but c
Time slowly went by and before anyone could realize it, it was just a week left before the monthly assessment.Scarlett had patched things up with Maple and placed her full concentration on training, even though she felt that her instructor was pretty slow.She also ignored the third chain of the quest for the time being. The quest could be shared with ten people and that spoke volumes of how dangerous the quest was.In all this, Scarlett never forgets that her main goal was to save her brother but she was still weak.* * * Scarlett was currently in the training room with instructor Talon."Concentrate!!" Instructor Talon corrected again messaging his temples."I'm trying but it's hard, being on fire without actually catching fire, what do I even need that for, assessment is just next week. Please instructor Talon teach me something that is offensive" Scarlett pleaded but her pleas fell on deaf ears."I will teach you at my own pace. Now quit whining and start working on increasing t
Maple stood outside Scarlett's room, trying to comprehend what she was seeing."You guys?" she asked confused.When Scarlett started letting out curses, she knew something was up. "Scarlett?""You can see us?" Scott asked shocked. Being seen in SSO was rotatably different from being seen in real life and they all knew that. In fact, Maple just did them a favor by discovering them in the room, imagine they suddenly appeared in the class like they normally did, the outcome would be disastrous."What kind of question is that?" Maple frowned. "Scarlett?""I'm sorry for hiding it from you" Scarlett sighed, but the others had a change in expression."What are you doing Scarlett?" Bruce asked with a serious expression."What? I have to tell her about you guys at least. Scott back me up here, even if I make up an excuse, sooner or later she'll find out the truth so what's the use""If it makes any difference, I'm still here and I can hear you" Maple folded her arms.Scarlett facepalmed, who c
