Henry raised quickly, he glanced at his surrounding before he faces Jeremy.
“How long have I been here”Jeremy clean his tears.“Two days, you have been sleeping for two days. We thought you were never going to wake up”Henry's eyebrows moved a little, he thought he was out for twelve days, thank goodness, it was just two days.What a crazy dream he had.He checked his wristwatch and his level was still in one.Henry chuckled, he thought he will see something different. He actually wished it wasn't a dream.“Is something wrong”Jeremy's voice wakes Henry from his worried thought. Henry stands up and faces Jeremy.“Where is my father. My sister should be here”his dad is a police officer, he is always busy even though his pay is tiny.The monster hunters are the ones earnings big, their job is to eliminate any monster that comes close to the protective wall.Cherry City is closest to the wall due to it creation, although the military has assured that no monster can break the wall, but people are still afraid.that is why Cherry City is the poorest among the four cities, only recently did better amenities started showing up.Jeremy rubbed his palms as he stares at the floor.“You were in the hospital for two days, the doctor said you were dead, it's only a miracle that you're still breathing”Henry's fingers moved, he forgot about him being in the hospital, his family barely had money to feed, let alone pay hospital bills.“Where is my family”Jeremy faced Henry.“Mr Dawson house. Your father borrowed some money from him, according to the deal. He is supposed to pay a month time, but Mr Dawson suddenly wants the money now”Henry's fist squeezed as Jeremy continues.“They went there to plead with him”Henry sprint out of the room, he didn't wait for Jeremy's next words, he was already furious.Mr Dawson is the richest man in Bloom area, his mom works as a maid in his house but she is constantly abused and treated like a nobody.He can't believe his family borrowed money from those scumbag.His tears drop slowly, he glanced at his body and there were no scars or wounds.This is probably mage healing. His family must've used everything to keep him alive.His tears drop more. He dash inside the mansion compound.There was a garden before the main door. Henry was thinking of what to say when he reached there, but he doesn't have a job, how will he pay back the moneyHe knows Mr. Dawson's plans, he probably wants his father's land, rumors say, JS company will be coming to Cherry City soon and that lands fits their criteria.He can't let them have it. That is the only hope his sister has for walking.“Cripple!!. Cripple!. I said it again. What can you do”Henry stopped when he heard Derek's voice. He is Mr Dawson son, same age as him, but he is a B rank awakened.Henry's heart seized immediately. He prayed his mind was lying to him. He rushed to the direction and the unimaginable was happening.Lora was lying helplessly on the floor, her wheelchair was thrown some distance away from her.Henry's breath vibrates seeing Derek stepping his foot on Lora's face.“Cripple. That is what you are!”Henry's rage exploded, he walked to Derek and tapped him on his shoulder.“How dare you”Henry punched him hard on his face, the impact stumbled Derek to the ground.He couldn't believe the powerful punch from Henry, and he wasn't expecting it, that is why he fell to the ground.Derek stands up with a deadly look, this loser dare to hit him.“Here comes the cripple brother”Henry didn't listen to him. He squatted and touched Lora's face.“Lora, are you okay”Lora cheeks moved seeing Henry.“I knew you weren't dead, they say….”she couldn't finish her words due to the emotional tears on her face.“It's okay. I am fine now. I won't let anybody touch you”Henry stands up and faces Derek.“don't you dare touch my sister again”“And you will do what”they stare at each with bloodshot eyes.“You won't like my actions”Derek's eyebrows pushed together, this loser seem to be forgetting who he is addressing.His lips curves a half smile as a thought entered his brain.He should just beat the asshole to the ground, then he watch him break his sister piece by piece.“Step out of the way E boy. I am not done teaching this cripple manners”Henry's voice was deep and deadly.“Don't call her that again. I am warning you for the last time”Derek stepped closer to Henry.“I said. Cripple!!!”Henry's fist tightened, he saw himself smacking Derek to the ground, but he couldn't in the real world.Derek is a B ranked fire mage. he will be stupid to fight him, and that is what Derek wants.Henry faces Lora. He should help her up.Immediately Henry changed view. Derek launched his attack.“Firefist!!”Flame cover in Derek's right hand and he smashes it on Henry's middle.“Brother!”Lora cries out.Derek froze seeing his attack had no effect on Henry. It felt like he hit Henry with his bare hands.Henry grips Derek's collars.“You asked for it”He sends his fist to Derek's face.Derek's panic immediately, he wonder what was happening, his magic was supposed to blow Henry away, but it didn't have any effect. how come it had no effect, his heart drum seeing Henry's fist coming.“Enough!!”Mr Dawson stopped Henry from making the impact.“How dare you try to hit my son”he faces Mr Tucker.“Is this how you plan to repay my kindness, by sending your son to my house to fight”“No, Mr Dawson, there has to be a misunderstanding here, Henry is a good boy”he already knows what was going on, but he can't support or defend Henry.Mr Dawson's face harden.“I want my money now. I am not taking this loser as a servant or your daughter. What good can a cripple do anyway”Mr Tucker falls to his knees.“Mr Dawson, please we agreed on this already, I will stay and work here, while my family fetch the money”“And I said you are useless. I don't want anything but my money”Mr Tucker bows his head on the floor, he knows Henry has lost his job, where are they going to get the amount“Show us mercy Mr Dawson, my family condition is terrible, give me more time or the initial time we agreed on. I swear, I will provide the money”Derek step to Mr Tucker with a water bottle in his hands. Henry has humiliated him, he must pay him back.he pours the water on Mr Tucker's head.“Beggar”he smirked looking at Henry.Henry's heart was kicking, his family is suffering this because of him, because he messed up. His sister is on the floor being bullied, and this scumbag dare pour water on his father.He hates the Dawson family, but he can't do anything, they are rich and powerful, but that doesn't give them the right to treat others like a trash can.“I want a duel!!”Henry's voice shakes the surrounding, everybody turned to face him.“I challenge Derek Dawson to a duel. If I win, the debts are cancelled and Mr Dawson will pay my academy fees”Mr. Dawson smiled, this fool must be insane, even a C ranked mage won't dare challenge a B ranked mage, let alone an E ranked mage.“And if you don't”Henry's fist tightened.“Take our land”Henry's voices shakes the surrounding, they couldn't believe he will be this stupid. Mr Dawson clapped with joy.“So be it. As the eldest son of the Tucker family, your words are the same as your father's. The duel will take place in the Dawson training hall, and it will schedule five days from now. Is that agreeable”Henry nods, he knows Mr. Dawson is after the land, there is nothing they can do anyway, rather than give him easily, he will fight for it.Henry helped his father up.“Dad it's okay”Mr Tucker inhales deeply, he is only pretending to be dumb, he knows what Mr. Dawson wanted, but that land was meant for Lora treatment. He couldn't believe they lost it, they have failed Lora.“You are awake”“Yes”Derek step to them.“Better start training, moron. I can't wait to kick your ass”Henry didn't listen to him, he helps Lora up and places her back in her wheelchair.She hasn't said anything since, and it hurts him.They left immediately.Mr Dawson stared at Henry, he could feel a
His heart skipped seeing the monster rank. The highest rank the military has recorded was B rank, and it took an army of high-quality mage to take it down.Henry covers his eyes immediately, he can't believe he is already seeing things. That dream was turning into reality because of the fear inside him.He opens his eyes and another screen appeared in front of him.[System guide has been activated. The system will lead the way to the monster. System reward for D rank monster; 1,500 gold coins]Henry falls to the ground with fear. Could this be real. This was precisely how the system displayed in his dream.Henry's heart beat increases as he remembers the powers of the system, there is only one way to find out.“Direct host to the monster”[System map activated]A map appeared in front of Henry, inside the map, a red dot was sparking and it was some distance away from his position which was represented with a green color.Henry's heart beat increased more, but he doesn't have any time t
Henry was shocked to see the message from the system. He didn't bother to read the rules twice before he made up his mind.“Accept”He doesn't care if he dies here, as long as his father is alive, he won't be sad.[Host has traded four red coins for a special offer: host has been granted. Offer countdown; 10, 9, 8]Selena couldn't move, she helplessly watched the monster launch it fist to her but surprisedly, the monsters stopped and retreat immediately.her eyebrows moved.What is happening here, before she could think of what happened.Her body smashed the ground. The surrounding intensity suddenly increased and the force smashed her to the ground. her throat seized immediately. Her heart was pounding heavily. The pressure was coming from a mage. She wonders if the military had arrived, but her eyes widened when she saw the kid rising to his feet.Immediately he rise, she black out.Her body couldn't withstand the aura.Who is this kid.Henry stands up with immense pressure. He cou
Henry's eyes opened, he was in the dream space again, he wonders if this was a farewell meeting or this was his afterlife.[Congratulations, System has cleared all tracks of host][Host is recovering from damage. Host can't leave dream space until the host recovers fully]“am I alive”Henry understands the system's words, but he wants to hear it from the system.[Host is currently at home with his family]Henry's cheeks moved, he remembers a little detail before he black out, he moved at insane speed, and his direction was home, but how did he enter without unlocking the password.He couldn't remember all the details, he must've done everything himself.“How long will I be staying here, and I want to know the time difference between here and my world”[Host will recover fully in four days. There is no time difference between dream space and your world. Everything depends on host. Dream space can move faster or slower]Henry's jaws slacked, he thought the system said dream space is fas
Everybody was shocked to see Henry, he actually came to the battleground. They thought he was pretending to be sick, so he doesn't fight Derek.Who in his right sense will fight a B class mage, even a C ranker won't do it, let alone an E ranker.What a fool.Henry entered the arena. He face the side Mr. Dawson was sitting.“You not getting your fetid hands on that land”Mr. Dawson smiles seeing Henry, he thought he won't get to entertain his guest today. thanks goodness, the worthless boy showed up. He has already asked Derek to make him nearly embrace death, then his father will come beg for hospital bills again, with that, they will work for him freely.He laughed in his mind. Poor people should know their place, they can never be at the top.“You should be worried about your match. Do you really think an E rank mage can win a B rank. What a fool!”Mr. Tucker snatch the microphone from Mr. Dawson. He was happy Henry was alive. He has slept for four days now, he was worried his son r
Mr. Tucker's knees were shaking as he made his way to the arena, he raised his head to look in Henry's direction but surprisedly, his son was already back on his feet. He paused seeing the deadly look on Henry's face, something was different about him. he was like an hungry lion ready to devour his prey.“Henry”he muttered to himself.Henry stands up with deadly eyes which focus on Derek, who was still unaware of his movement. He quickly finished the system drills and acquired his physical skills, but he still can't use all of them. There are some that will drain all his energy immediately he activates them but the ones he has now will be enough to defeat this bastard.“He is awake”“how is this possible”“does this bastard have a death wish”Derek's eyebrows slowly pushed down hearing the crowd's words. He was puzzled by their words, he knows Henry won't be able to move for now, or he could be possibly be dead, after all he is an E rank mage, even a C rank mage won't stand his power
His words drop like a heavy weight on their shoulders, and they watch him make his way out of the arena.Mr. Dawson was close to the exit, he was making his way to stop the fight before Henry unleashed that attack, but he was too late. He didn't know Henry will win, so he didn't bother to hire a healer, he can't blame himself for that, how can an E rank mage defeat a B rank mage.Impossible, but it just happened. Henry walked past him. Mr. Dawson turned to face Henry.“What did you do. What trick did you use!!”Henry smirked facing Mr. Dawson.“Use a trick on a kid. What a joke. He was just too weak Dawson. What a weakling you have as a son”Mr. Dawson's fist tightened, he saw himself wiping the kid to the ground, but he can't do that now, he must attend to his son before he makes this fool pay for the humiliation he caused him. Mr. Dawson rush to Derek.Henry beams watching him, he wished he could humiliate Derek more, but he has his limit too, that last attack drain everything he ha
Henry finally received the acceptance letter from the academy, he got in through the recommendation of Mr. Dawson. The school won't have accepted him even if he paid his entrance fee, they haven't seen an E rank mage before, and they would've turned him down to cover the academy image.With Mr. Dawson's recommendation, the school doesn't know his rank, they believe he is a top class mage from Bloom area, although he is, but nobody knows, they will think he is an E rank mage which Henry wants. He doesn't want to expose this power until he reaches S rank level. According to the system, he can reveal his true class if he wants, but it's advisable to be at the highest level then, which Henry supports.He came out from the house and faced his family once more. “I am leaving”Henry had a hard time convincing them about his power, that he is a regular E rank mage. They believe him after continues repetition of the same words.“Do your best. Don't go beyond your limit. Anything you can achi
Henry lost his vision of the outside world as the monster swallowed him completely. “Dammit!”Henry screamed out as the outside world closed completely.‘Those two monsters are outside! Helen and Peter are in trouble, I have to come out of here!!!! Lora is even outside!’Henry was screaming inside his mind, he wouldn't fail his teammates, he must slaughter this monster down now! The red dragon katana formed in Henry's hand again, he would slice this monster open. Henry concentrated on his awareness, trying to see if he could feel what was going on in the outside world, but just as he suspected, his senses couldn't go pass the monster's stomach. He was currently in the monster intestine and several worms were heading to his direction now. “Well, they would DIE BY MY BLADES”Henry screamed out as he released a tremendous burst of energy. “The red dragon katana; Grade three”“Endless katana!!”Thousands of blades erupted from Henry and it sliced all the worms to pieces.. Henry imme
Henry covered the distance as he moved his katana to strike the monster down. He wouldn't waste any time to assess any monster that would pose a threat to Helen and Peter, he brought them into this, he would do whatever it takes to protect them from harm, so he would kill any monster like this with his full strength, WITHOUT WASTING A SINGLE MOMENT. Henry appeared inches away from the monster. “This is where it all ends”The red dragon katana changed to a blazing red color, and Henry smashed it to the monster's middle, it didn't have to be the monster head, he just had to make contact with the monster and it would be dead. “The Red Dragon Katana, Grade One Maximum!”“The Hundredth Strike”The katana zaps insanely to cut the monster to pieces. The monster's eyes were wide open in shock as he watched the katana head straight to cut him into two. How could this be possible! How could a human possibly have the power to kill a monster like him? ‘Am I going to die... is this the end’
All the C-ranked monsters shattered to pieces, Henry tightened his grip on the Katana, he wouldn't make any mistake or hold back on any monster, he would take them down with one move if he could do it. “Grade Two of the Red Dragon Katana”Henry's veins displayed on his hands, and he insanely swung the Katana to the monster's face. “The Dragon Roar”The monster was motionless in his position as he watched the red Katana zap to chop his head away. He couldn't believe a human would be capable of this strength. How could a human be capable of a strength like this!!!! If he doesn't do anything now, he would die. The monster thought about dying and his face turned ugly. “Body magic; Robust Defense!”The monster's neck immediately grew a large mass of flesh with the motion of stopping Henry Katana, but the power in Henry's strike was so overwhelming that it smashed the monster to the left-hand side. BOOM! A massive burst of flame followed as the impact smashed the monster into the bu
[Host has exited Dream Space]Henry's eyes opened to see the massive destruction ahead of him, the place was in a ruined state. it wasn't a building collision nor the ground was upside down. The entrance of Arc Light Haven was simply decorated with human bones, thousands of it, and there was a write-up written on the tallest building ahead. “Welcome to Arc Light Haven”Henry was surprised to see the write-up on the building ahead, surely that wasn't written by any human, it was written by a monster. To think a monster would be able to write in their language, and also know what the place was called was too fabulous to comprehend and threatening. For a monster to be able to do that simply meant that the monster wasn't an ordinary one, it would definitely be an intelligent monster, and intelligent monsters are always powerful ones. “We should stay together, keep your eyes open, and say something if you see anything.“Lora, stay beside Peter, and Helen, stay behind Peter, I will lea
Henry accepted all the documents, and he remembered Dean's words, for them to be selected for the extinguishment of hell operation, they had to produce groundbreaking results like clearing a whole area in the outside zone. Henry and the team reached the area selection hall which was inside the general registration Hall. This place houses the areas that nobody refuses to take in the city Hall, if an area remained in the city Hall information system for a month and nobody took it, it would be transferred to the general registration hall, where any bounty group could gain access to the location, and move to get the job done or a portion of it until it becomes completed. The difference between the City Hall areas and the General Registration Hall areas was that, the City Hall gave access to only one team per area, other bounty groups could ally to clear it but what goes to the book would be the team that accepted the area. While the General Registration Hall would write down the
They drove the F—Zero loader to the general registration Hall. They parked at the parking lot and the F-Zero loader immediately caught everybody's attention. Many people were seen bringing their phones to take pictures of the loader.“Oh my God.. what team is this!”“Is it the White eagles”“No! It had to be the Eagle's Crest. They are the ones that can afford a loader like this”The other man who was interrupted shouted back. “Don't be stupid! The Eagle crest are only the richest bounty group in Wood City, that doesn't mean they can afford everything. This is the F—Zero, it cost more than a hundred billion dollars”The man's eyes burst open in shock. “More than a hundred billion dollars.. Oh my God..... Oh my God”The smart looking man sounded again. “The eagle crest wouldn't be able to afford the turbo tire of this loader let alone the loader”“Who the hell are these people!!!”Somebody shouted. Just then a loader also parked some distance away, and the Eagle crest squad came ou
Lora entered the living room with a little smile on her face. “I forgot to introduce our team healer to you guys. Lora Tucker, she would be our team healer”Lora raised her head to face everyone. “Hello, everyone”Helen and Peter were dumbfounded on their spot, they couldn't believe Henry's words. Helen wanted to say something but Lora's new appearance stunned her to the bone, she immediately realized something was different about Lora. So Lora awakened healing magic. “Please take care of me”Lora bowed 90 degrees, Helen couldn't take Lora's behavior anymore, she thought about the past, and seeing Lora walking perfectly made her emotions spring up to the highest order.Helen walked to Lora and hugged her tightly. “Lora.. You are okay”Lora's eyes turned wet a little.“I am fine”She rests her head on Helen's back. Peter stared at Lora with wide eyes, he knew Henry had a sister, but he had never seen her this close before. He saw her at the funeral but he never looked at her this
“WHAT!” Helen's thunderous voice was heard. “What kind of dumb name is this” She thought Henry had come up with a groundbreaking name, a name that would scare the life of anybody that hears it, and something that once mentioned in the battleground would make other bounty hunter's quiver with fear, but Henry had to come up with the craziest name she had ever seen. “A cheetah! Why not a gorilla or a Godzilla, maybe king Kong would be better” “Why Liberty Cheetahs out of all the names in the world” Helen's shout was scaring the shit out of Peter and Henry, Henry wasn't expecting Helen to react like this, if he had known, he would've ask her for her opinion. “Okay, Helen. Do you have a name in mind” Peter asked as he tried to steady his breathing, Helen was unknowingly emitting ice magic. Helen's forehead folded when she heard Peter's words, she emitted more ice magic, making the room more colder than before. “Over to you Helen, pick a name for us” Henry finally voiced out. H
Henry was sitting upright on his bed, he was exploring the items available in the exclusive store, which was meant for only his disciples, the people he had given the recognition ring to. There were a lot of items available in the exclusive store, it wasn't unlimited but it was on the high side, majority of the items had only one function, like the enhancement uniforms which reduced the damage taken by 1000%. It was good but not good enough in Henry's eyes. He was looking for something unreal, something that could improve Helen and Peter to the next level. Henry finally diverted his attention to the S-tier items, they were the most expensive items in the exclusive store and only a portion of them were available. The S-tier sector contained three weapon-grade items, a Katana, a crossbow, and a battle ax, they all had special attributes, and the attributes depended on the wielder.The weapons had ten special attributes and only one would be accessible to the wielder. Henry found the
