Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 51: Test (1)
"System, if this isn't an alternate world, could this be a dream or illusion?" Johnny asked.As soon as those words left his mouth, he felt like an idiot. While it was true that the system was probably his best option for answers, it actually didn't make sense in hindsight. If it was either of those options, why would the system know about it or be able to help him? It was all in his head, so anything the system said would be something he would think of.[The system wondered if the user would ever notice.]Startled, he stared at the screen for several long moments before asking, "Come again?"[The system was uncertain whether or not the user would ever recognize that none of this was real.]Anger coursed through his veins as he demanded, "Explain."[The system doesn't understand what the user is upset about.][This is a test designed to see if the user is worthy of getting a power or not.]His eyebrows shot up as he asked, "What do you mean? I thought I already got my power. In fact,

"System, is there anything you can tell me about the test?" Johnny asked. [The user already has all the clues needed to solve the test.] Johnny frowned as he considered the system's words. If that was the case, what was he missing? He had already gone over everything that happened in this fake world. Thinking it over, he still couldn't come up with anything. Well, he did have another idea, but it was so ridiculous that he couldn't bring himself to voice it without looking like a fool. [What will the user do?] However, if there was a slight chance that it might work, he had to take the chance. In the worst case scenario, he would just feel like an idiot. There was no one there to judge him for it, and he didn't think the system would penalize him if he said something wrong. It certainly hadn't done anything to him so far, so he didn't think that would change. "System, can I choose to return to the real world?" he asked. [If that is what the user wants, then the user can.] He star
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 53: Leaving the Test With a New Power
Johnny focused his attention on the mysterious sixth screen, pushing aside all the others. Since he currently had five powers, it should mean that he should have only gotten five screens. What was the sixth going to say? His eyes widened as he reread the contents over and over again. No matter how many times he read it, the words didn't change.[Adaptation][The user has done the impossible and obtained multiple powers during the test. The user has proven that they are capable of obtaining more than one power without serious consequences or suffering any issues.][The user can earn new powers after the user meets certain criteria.]Looking away from the screen, he asked, "System, is this legitimate?"[The system doesn't understand what the user is asking. Please repeat.]He couldn't tell if the system simply didn't understand what he was asking or it didn't know about the sixth option. It was hard to imagine that the system wouldn't know about it since it was the one offering it to hi
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 54: Chance Encounter
Dorothy walked towards the entrance of the registration building at a steady pace. She kept a cool expression when she was secretly seething on the inside. It was infuriating that she had been sent here instead of fighting monsters. If she wanted to raise her status in the family, she should be making a name for herself. Of course, the family head and heir were doing their best to keep that from happening.They must have felt threatened by her presence, considering how they had been sidelining her for over a year. It was thrilling to know that she was a possible candidate to become the head of the family, but it was frustrating how hard they blocked her path. If it had been a fair competition, she wouldn't be stuck here doing something anyone in the family could do.She barely glanced at the line that had formed. None of them were people she knew. No one from the seven families would have been forced to wait in line. If they were valuable, she would find out later. For now, she needed
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 55: Testing Procedure
"Do you understand?" the woman asked after finishing her explanation.Johnny nodded. The test was quite simple. He had to demonstrate his power for everyone to see what he expected. The problem was actually testing his power since he hadn't gotten a new power to use yet. As soon as he thought that, a screen popped into view. He hadn't expected to see the screen ever again and scanned the text.[The user has completed the following criteria: registering themselves as a blessed.][The user will now obtain one new power. Please select from the following.]Looking at the list of five powers he could choose from, he was both surprised and unsurprised by the list. All the powers listed were powers he had obtained during the test. He had thought the system would just give him a power based on the situation, but he supposed this was better. Now he had to decide which power was the best for his situation.Obviously, the fire power was out of the question. While it would be great to have it aga
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 56: End of the Testing Procedure
"How about you have someone try to attack me with the intent to hurt me?" Johnny said."What?" the woman said, staring at him as if he had grown another head."You clearly don't believe me, even though I've proven that I can tell what you're feeling. If you have someone come in from my blindspot, I'll be able to prove that I can sense their bloodlust," he said as he crossed her arms.Instead of saying anything or moving, she continued to look at him like she couldn't believe her ears. Well, he had to admit that he would also be just as bewildered if someone he thought was faking their power asked to be attacked. He would have thought they were insane or delusional and got security to deal with them. However, he was counting on it.Johnny didn't seriously think that she would listen to him and send someone to attack him. That's why he wanted her to call security to deal with him, and he would prove to her that he wasn't a fraud. Just like he expected, she immediately excused herself to
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 57: What to Do With Money
Dorothy rolled her shoulders slightly as she kept an impassive expression on her face. She was finally done with her job and could return home. There was no chance she would get to go on the field since they were probably finishing up now. It was frustrating, but there was nothing she could do about it. As she walked towards the exit, she noticed someone blocking the steps.She narrowed her eyes as her guard stepped forward and said, "Move."The man turned around, and she recognized him as someone who had been standing in line. That itself wouldn't have caught her interest if it weren't for the look in his eyes. He didn't look at her with awe or fear. Instead, he looked at her as if he were looking at her as if they were acquaintances. She didn't think anyone outside the seven families would look at her with such familiarity."Sorry," he said as he stepped aside.Her guard was about to demand that the man completely move out of the way so they wouldn't even be within a foot of each ot
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 58: Encounter With Ex Girlfriend
Johnny stared at the fallen cake before looking up at the smug look on the other man's face. Without hesitation, he punched the man in the face. Forget being calm and collected, the man deserved to be punched. The other man didn't seem to think he had the guts to do it, as he didn't react in time and collapsed to the ground with a bloody nose.His ex girlfriend stared in shock before screaming. "What did you do?"He stared unimpressed at her as he said, "You should have thought twice before messing around like that. You better pay for the mess you made."She scowled as she shouted, "Secruity. There's a crazy man here."They had already gathered quite a crowd, and the people were staring at them like they were spectacles. He sighed as he waited for the guards to show up. If he tried to walk away, it would only make him look guilty. The man on the ground got to his feet as he glared daggers at him. Johnny ignored it as the guards finally showed up with a staff member leading them."What
