Her sight hovered around the soul points stat that showed 500."What the hell is soul point?" she understood what the others meant but this concept was new to her.[Soul point refers to the strength of your consciousness] the system answered in its robotic voice."So my mind space have nothing to do with it?" Scarlett asked again trying to get a better understand of things.[The strength of your mind space depends on your consciousness, that is why host is about able to accommodate five souls in her mind space]Scarlett nodded in understanding. The system's explanation was clear and simple, easy to understand."Can't you change your voice to become more normal?" Scott's voice sounded at the side. He wa
School was to start the next day so after eating, she went back to her room to prepare her things.Done with that she laid on her bed and decided to check out her new system."System menu" she called out and the system screen appeared in front of her.[Menu]— Status— Quests— Shop— Skills— InfoShe clicked on quests only to see letters in red making her sit up.[4 HOURS REMAINING]Under it, the first option,which was daily quests was written in red.[Daily Quests][Other Quests]She then clicked on daily quests.[Run 10000 meters: 0/10000m][Reward: +5 stamina, +10 exp][Punishment: -5 Stamina]Scarlett eyes opened wide on seeing the quest. 'It's almost eight o'clock how the hell am I supposed to complete this quest' she thought speechless at the thoughtlessness of the system."System, why was there no notification?" Scarlett inquired.[Notification is turned off host]"Well turn it back on"[Yes host]Scarlett waited a bit and a notification sounded.[Host has 4 hours remaining t
Scarlett woke up very early, she did not want to miss her transport.The hover bus would only stay at the station for two minutes whether it was early or not.This was Deep D where she and her family had lived since she was born. Although is sounded cool, it actually meant Deep Dump, it was a name given to them by the fancy people living up in the sky castle.The NG city was a hovering large piece of land. The expansion had gone pretty far throughout the years. You could never see the end even by standing at the middle.NG city had many cities within. As the powerful families couldn't live together, they formed their cities and marked it as their territory. Surprisingly, it was a peaceful separation with the government not doing much. Still these family had to pay taxes. Taxes that could milk anyone.So over the years, some families were forced out their territory as they couldn't meet up.There were academies in different cities, Deep D also had academies but it was Deep D after all.
"Settle down class" Mr Alfred's voice sounded from the door before he walked to the desk."Scarlett, I heard what happened and I'm deeply sorry for your loss" Mr Alfred said giving Scarlett an intense stare. He was dropping his condolences and at the same time warning her not to disrupt his class.Scarlett nodded, by this time she had already taken back control of her body."You were so cool back there, where did you learn to make a comeback like that?" Maple whispered, she was staring at Scarlett with stars in her eyes.Scarlett couldn't tell her the truth nor could she leave her hanging, so she just evaded the question."Well one learn those kinds of stuff after leaving in Deep D their entire life"Maple was seriously considering moving when Scarlett flicked her forehead."Don't even think about it, you would definitely not fit in" Scarlett knew Maple well enough to know what the girl was thinking.Unlike other people, Maple was pretty simple minded and straight forward. She spoke f
"Good job Scarlett you see that is what happens when you cultivate a healthy mind space" Mr Alfred was all smiles praising Scarlett to the heavens.Scarlett should have been happy that Me Alfred now saw her in a new light but a situation like this, the cons far outweighed the pros.Scarlett stayed absent mind throughout the class, biology was never her strong suit and had always been boring for her, this so called enhanced biology was even worse she only raised her head once when she heard Me Alfred speak about 'mana baptism' his explanation was pretty vague only mentioning how one gets baptized in our last year, which was actually two years more.When someone graduates from SSA they are invited to high ranking families, unless you already belong to one. People from Deep D like Scarlett are given three choices, they either join high ranking families which includes leaving your family even if you have one. Or you choose to become a part of NGO (New Generation Organization) and being se
"Its something I just said without thinking who knew it would actually make sense, haha" Scarlett awkwardly chuckled."Yeah that lie was awful yesh" Scott appeared shaking his head.Scarlett just glared at him not saying anything, she wouldn't be able to explain whom she was talking to."Scarlett?" Maple called seeing Scarlett staring into void."You okay?" she looked a bit worried wondering if it was her fault."Yeah I'm fine, sorry I'm just not myself today" Scarlett muttered. Scott was driving her crazy with the annoying faces he was making."Its okay I understand, I knew you wouldn't have gotten through it that easily. You were just pretending to be fine so I wouldn't worry, I understand everything, you didn't have to do this" Maple smiled placing her hand on Scarlett's shoulder.Scarlett blinked, amazed at how Maple misunderstood the whole thing. It was a miracle, now she did not have to keep making things up, she shot Scott a glare one last time before turning away.The combat h
There was no exchange of words, James just lunged forward at full speed throwing out a punch.Scarlett was stunned for a second but quickly gathered her thought and dodger the punch, but it was already in front of her. She leaned to the side missing the punch by a hair's width. After successfully dodging, she increased the distance between them.She cleared her mind off unnecessary thoughts and focused solely on her opponent. He was fast, faster than her by a large margin, she knew she barely dogded the punch just now.'What do I have, I'm not as fast as him, running away will do me no good...think'James left her no time to think, he attacked again this time sending out a kick. Scarlett this time did not dodge and instead stretched out her hand wanting to catch the kick. She was trying to determine if he also had more strength or if she could contend with him in that aspect.The kick came and the impact made her feet slide back a bit but in all she achieved her purpose. Though her ha
COUNT DOWN3, 2, 1STARTA screen showing the fight appeared in the white space.'So that's how they watched the fight, is this normal though. Seems like we're the only ones who know that's Aviva, the others must think its me"Scarlett was finally able to put her mind at ease when suddenlyWINNER SCARLETTShe thought she was seeing things until Aviva appeared."OMG what happened, how did... that was Ryder, as in RYDER, how the hell did you eliminate him so quickly you..." a notification interrupted her.[Quest Progress: 2/10 opponents]Scarlett gasped at the notification."I can bypass the system?" Scarlett was so elated that she failed to remember the fight was being watched not just by them. She wore a large grin thinking of how easy it would be to complete quests in the future."Aviva, you're the best, can you do me a solid and win eight more opponents?" she had her hand clasped together begging Aviva and for the first time Aviva smiled before nodding.Then wasting no time she rand
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
[Quest info: Oseremen is the village priestess, the original owner of the golden sand. Two days ago she was found missing from her cottage. 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»
"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
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
