The president's death, witnessed by everyone, plunged the nation into further turmoil. This incident intensified the public's emotions—those who already despised superhumans oscillated between fear and heightened anger. Fearful individuals sought refuge, while the enraged ones fueled their wrath even more. Speculations were rife, with many pointing fingers at the Eden Guild, suspecting them of orchestrating the assassination, leading to an upsurge in protests.

Crowds, their anger palpable in the tense air, took to the streets, their voices loud and demanding, converging at the academy's gates in a formidable display of dissent.

In the wake of the president's demise, the defense minister ascended to power, the vice president having met a grim fate months earlier, devoured by a beast. The minister, a former military general with formidable authority, vowed to uphold the president's legacy, his voice resounding with determination and fury.

"We will persist in our pursuit of justice, hono

    The new president, face flushed with anger, yells, “Prepare the live broadcast. We will try to encourage superhumans to help us chase the beast away. There's no need to beg the Eden Guild. There are still plenty of superhumans outside that bastard guild.” His voice echoes through the tense air, his eyes burning with frustration.Under the chaos of the beast's attack on the city, an urgent live broadcast from the new president cuts through the noise, “Listen to all superhumans, you are blessed by God with abilities to protect humanity. Now, as beasts ravage our city, please step out and drive the beast away, protect our people. Aren’t you heroes? Please, do your job. Don’t you have hearts to protect the innocent?”And in just a few minutes after the live broadcast, I secure a live slot from the reporter in the academy hall, my voice steady but filled with sarcasm.“Listen up, everyone. We’ve been doing our job, driving the beast away, while the country's president and some people want

    My speech is cool and great, right?Like all good stuff, there's always a small fine print on below, almost impossible to read. For me, it’s, “Normal humans can be superhuman, but you need to work for Eden Guild.”The live is over, the Eden Guild gets back to business, wiping out all the beasts in Virginia City in the middle of the night, freeing normal human from my own beasts, and I obtain the president position by going through all of this hassle.Not a bad business.Keaton rushes to me, “Did you plan all of this so you could become president?”“Fuck,” I replay. “I don’t even want to be president. But if I don't, someone else will, he will accuse Eden Guild again and then the killing starts again. It’s an endless cycle of bullshit. The only way I can think of is to force myself into the presidency, so no one else can screw it up and give me more headaches!”Keaton look at me, puzzle, “Yeah, you’re right. I can’t argue with that.”The next morning, all the political senators, govern

    "Please listen to me," I stand on the podium, my gaze sweeping across the sea of men in luxury office suits, with the exception of the general, who dons a uniform. "The Beast is from a different planet. They possess a great ‘mana’—an unseen power, a life force. When we consume its meat, we gain its mana or energy. Yes, it can become poison if you don’t know how to treat it, but the recipe on how to cook the beast meat it is already on the internet. Everyone can cook it and eat it like normal meat."I pause, letting the gravity of my words sink in. The murmurs in the room grow louder, a mix of curiosity and skepticism."The most important thing is, every time you eat beast meat, you will raise your inner energy and soon you will become a superhuman if you pass a certain level of inner energy," I continue, displaying the back of my hand. “For people who acquire superhuman abilities, a symbol will appear on the back of their hand, but on early start, sometimes it's only a dot, or a faint

    As the temporary president, I know I must swiftly enact laws that will propel humanity towards a brighter future before the election. With memories of the future, I am privy to the impact of each law, especially in aiding the rise of superhumans to control all the beast’s rampage.Three months have passed since our last meeting at the academy, where we discussed the profitability of hunting beasts. The sudden surge in superhumans hunting these creatures led to an abundance of beast meat. This, however, turned into a boon as demand grew, with more people wanting to consume the meat to gain superhuman abilities. Rich and middle class family already use that meet for daily consumption.The economy found its balance as superhumans, flush with cash from their conquests, invested in more advanced weapons. This made hunting easier, causing the beast population to decline and further inflating their wealth. I believe it's essential for the superhumans' money to circulate to keep the economy b

    At the military airport, I step out of my car and notice there are already 22 superhumans, who categorized as selfless. They are driven not by personal desires but by kindness.Among them are priests, monks, and other spiritual individuals who find joy in acts of goodness. However, me and the world won’t let them dominate, fearing that people will lose their desire and ambition.I count them: 14 males and 8 females. "We are going to use a helicopter because it takes only 1 hour to reach our destination, compared to 8 hours by land," I explain.They need to learn from me how to confront the Demon leader. As they board the large helicopter, I see their expressions harden, their eyes reflecting a mix of fear and surrendering.The helicopter takes off, soaring into the sky, offering us a panoramic view of the land below.Starting from the Virginia city, superhuman are already moving really fast, conquering city after city. Humans are at their peak. For every gate, they destroy everything

    “Priest!” I call out to the man draped in black. “Come here, I will reveal the secret to you.”The priest nods and steps closer, after I tell him, his face contorting in shock. “This is the secret?” With a snap of my fingers, the demon captain succumbs to slumber. I hoist the monk up to the wall and swap him with the priest to the field.The priest looking at the sleeping Demon captain, remembering how he almost die on his hand, his eyes wide with hesitation, takes a deep breath. “Oh, my Lord, grant me strength and peace.” Suddenly, the Demon Captain awakens, seething with rage. He advances towards the priest, who, in a state of surrender, cries out, “Oh God!” Then, with a surprising burst of courage, he strikes the demon captain's head, sending the creature tumbling to the ground. This scene throws everyone into confusion, especially the other 20 superhumans. The fearsome demon captain, who could single-handedly obliterate 20 superhumans, is now being toyed with like a mere child.

    This planet name is Babel.In my past life, many attempts were made to take information and technologies from this city to the outside world, but most superhuman, if not die because of the lingering curse and dark spirit, they were stopped by the babel security robots because it was illegal to do so without authority.For years, many tried to solve the planet's problems, yet for 35 years, it remained one of the top three unsolvable issues globally.But 35 years after the apocalypse, someone named Morgan, with ‘secret’ ability finally succeeded in cracking the secret by obtaining a rank 2 authority key, which allowed some information and technologies from Babel to be shared with the outside world, causing significant change on the earth.Since many people want to know the secret of Babel, his first successful achievement led to the creation of a book, movie, and a virtual game based on what was said to be the happening in real Babel.The game's objective is to obtain the rank 1 key wh

    I have already confirmed my place at the renowned Royal King Academy, and there are still two months remaining until the opening ceremony for new students.Meanwhile, I immerse myself in calculations, trading, and guiding the Kingsley family back to prosperity. This esteemed lineage, which declined a century ago, depended on government automatic problem-solving, providing low-interest, low-profit ventures, barely getting by day after day.Now, with the reins in my hands, I aim for the apex of profit, especially with foreknowledge of the next five years' events in Babel, including emerging diseases and breakthrough medications.I understand that accumulating wealth is crucial to becoming the king, gaining support from other nobles, and for various other reasons.Before I know it, two months have vanished, and it's time for me to make my grand entrance at the Academy.The Kingsley family estate is situated distant from Babel's capital, Babilon, necessitating a 16-hour flight to reach th

    I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

    After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

    "I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

    "Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

    “Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

    “Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the

    “Bargu,” I called one of my generals.He immediately looked at me with an extremely distressed face. “Don't choose me, king.”“Randu?”A small giant appeared and shook his head. “Don't torture me, king. We want to have fun. We won this battle.”None of them wanted to accept the position.“The position of God Vayu is an honorable one!” God Vayu shouted at them all. “Full of dedication, responsibility, serving many people, following the harmony of nature... blah... blah... blah...” He lectured for another half hour, ending again by saying to me, “Give this position to an honorable person! Not to someone who is half-hearted and does not understand the importance of this role.”I scratched my head. We Ashura only understood honor through battle. We also didn't want to be burdened by many rules and duties. We just wanted to have fun.I looked again at the ugly faces of the Ashura, fearing I might force them to take on the role.“Alright, God Vayu. No one wants your position. Stay in your p

    I walked through the vast and majestic courtyard of God Indra's palace. Not a shadow in sight.Stepping onto the stone steps, I entered his palace and kept shouting his name.“INDRA! Show your cowardly face!”Inside his palace, I saw lotus ponds lining the path to the inner parts of the palace.“INDRA, THE COWARD! Are you hiding in your mother's embrace? Are you crying? Your subordinate gods are being tortured. They're screaming for their king, where are you hiding, coward?” I shouted as loudly as possible.Who doesn't know that Indra is famous for his cowardice and cunning? Every time he lost a battle against the Ashura, he would run into his mother's embrace. Aditi, the mother of the gods, and cry, persuading her to find a way to put him back on the throne. This has happened repeatedly.I smelled the scent of lotus and other fragrances in Indra's palace. “Ptooey... INDRA! Are you wearing women's clothes? Your palace smells like a woman! Show your face if you're a man.”I shouted for

    We Ashura people generally only wear pants. Always bare-chested, and if we wear anything, it must be armor for war. Not clothes like those worn by women. Beautiful, neat, and shining.“Ptooey!” I spat.Both camps flew closer with terrifying speed. Weapons were directed at each other. Just seconds before both sides would collide, yet neither slowed down. Each kept increasing their flying speed and strengthening their weapons in hand.A war general from the gods' camp shot ahead of the other gods towards me. Perhaps the god of war, Ares.“Die!” he shouted.“Good!” I said, smiling broadly. I shot to the front, and we faced each other at high speed.As we met, he thrust a shining spear at me like lightning trying to pierce my chest. I dodged quickly, and my large fist struck the front of his body protected by a metal shield. My full strength flowed, and the blow landed with a horrifying sound. Combined with my initial flying speed, God Ares was instantly thrown to the edge of the earth li
