Oliver uncalled the armor, and it went back into his arsenal in a blink of an eye.

"I better complete the Daily quests and get the rewards so I can add more points to my strength attribute and get more stronger." Oliver concluded as he got down to the ground and began the pushups.

Unlike before when Oliver struggled to complete only one push-up, this time he was able to do ten without breaking a sweat.

[COMPLETE 10 PUSHUPS ✓]

A notification popped up right in front of Oliver after completing the last push-up,and he went to the side of his room and picked up his wooden cupboard, lifting it above his head. He kept bringing it down and lifting it up continuously, until he received the notification.

[lift 10kg ✓]

Oliver then shifted his gaze to the window screen to see the rest of the quests.

"Sleep eight hours a day is what I do naturally, but right now I can't since it's morning already. And as for the last quest, I'll complete it when running to school." Oliver concluded as he glanced outside the window and could see the morning sun already burning brightly.

Oliver picked up his towel and walked into the bathroom to get ready for school. 

In less than twenty minutes, Oliver stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed in his rough white uniform that was stained with both blood and dirt. He straightened his uniform while glancing at himself in the mirror.

"Why don't I feel nervous?" Oliver mused while combing his sporting black hair. 

Every morning Oliver gets himself ready for school, he always feel nervous and panicked about seeing the faces of Christopher and his friends, and also getting bullied by them. But today, he felt nothing like that.

After making sure everything was set, he stepped out of the room and locked the door before heading out. Oliver made his way to the broad highway before dashing forward as fast as his legs could carry him as he made his way to the school.

He ran for several minutes, before finally arriving in front of his school's building.

"I arrived a bit faster than usual. I guess I'm really changing after all." Oliver smirked as he straightened his uniform before walking into the school premisses and made his way to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The cafeteria section was divided into two buildings. One building was for he affluent students with rich families and powerful talents, while the second building to the left was for the low rankers and also those who can't afford a meal.

Since Oliver lacked the money to afford a meal of his own and was also poor, he always eats in the left hand side cafeteria. And even though the cafeteria was meant for people like him, he still got treated like an outcast.

Oliver made his way into the cafeteria and walked towards the lady distributing the meal. There was a long queue in front of the lady, and since Oliver arrived a bit late, he went to the extreme end of the line and stood patiently.

The line began to reduce gradually as students received their meal and went to their various seat. When it almost to to Oliver's turn, three towering student barged into the line and stood in front of him.

Oliver opened his mouth to complain, but after catching a glimpse of the guys faces, he refrained from saying anything.

"Do you have anything to say, trash?" Christopher glared at him and questioned. Oliver shook his head in response. "That's what I thought." Christopher spat before retrieving his meal and walked to an empty seat with his friends.

The students around all had a puzzled expression on their faces as they watched Christopher sit in the cafeteria that was meant for low level students. 

Oliver finally retrieved his own tray and glanced at it with a frown. Sitting on the tray was a single mould of bread that as the size of a baby's fist, and a small cup of watery mango juice beside it.

"What's the matter, trash?" The lady serving the food spat out in anger while glaring at Oliver in disdain.

"This wasn't what you've been serving everyone else." Oliver complained, his eyes still glued to the tray.

"So what? Do you have a problem with that? You expect me to serve you the same quantity as the rest? You must be so joker!" The lady voice out without holding back. 

Oliver stood there for a few more minutes and knew arguing with her would only be a waste of time, so he turned around and began to walk to his seat. 

While Oliver made his way to his seat, he heard someone called him from behind.

"Hey, Olive Oil! Why don't you come sit with us? We wish to get a taste from your food!" Christopher's voice reverberated throughout the cafeteria.

Oliver paused his steps but didn't turn around to face him, and he resumed his steps, ignoring Christopher's words completely.

"Did he just..." Christopher struggled to believe what just happened, and his face became bright red in anger. "You know what to do, Ken." He then turned to face one of his friends named Ken.

Ken rose from his seat and dashed forward, blocking Oliver's path. 

"Are you deaf? Christopher wants a taste from your food." Ken informed in a deep and rugged voice while standing in front of Oliver and preventing him from moving forward.

"T-this is all I've got." Oliver responded honestly. "And I haven't eaten a thing since yesterday morning, so just let me go please." He added.

"Do I look like I give a fuck? I don't care if you have eaten anything or not. We need your tray, and that's final!" Ken voiced out in an audible tone.

"I am afraid that won't happen." Oliver stood his ground and glared right into the eyes of Ken.

"What did you just say?" Ken questioned in disbelief.

"I said that won't happen!" Oliver responded.

Oliver responded.Hearing the words of Oliver, Ken's face became bright red in anger and he stretched forth his right hand, aiming to grab Oliver's neck. Oliver saw the hand heading towards him, and he took a step to the side, allowing Ken to grab nothing but thin air."I just dodged his attack easily?" Oliver exclaimed internally after preventing Ken from grabbing his neck."Hey, Ken, what's the matter over there? If he's not willing to cooperate, then make him cooperate!"

When the claws was only centimeters away from his chest, Oliver moved his body to the side, weaving the slash by a hair length. After dodging the slash, Oliver stretched his right leg forward and sent out a kick towards Dan's stomach. PAH!Dan lifted his left arm, blocking the kick easily and sent out a punch of his own."It's time I see what this Sprint Talent really means." Oliver pondered internally. "Activate Sprint!" He called out internally.[SPRINT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]Activating the skill, Oliver felt his whole body become light as a feather, and the breeze in the cafeteria felt like it could blow him off.

    Christopher cracked his neck and he dashed in once more. While Christopher charged towards Oliver, Oliver noticed something in his movements.Unlike before when he moved at tremendous speed, Christopher's pace seemed to have decreased and it took longer to close the gap than it did earlier.Christopher finally arrived in striking distance and he swung out his clenched fist towards Oliver."It's not just his speed that has reduced. His attacks have also seemed to slow down." Oliver pondered internally as he lifted his two arms to block the incoming punch.BAM!Oliver managed to block the punch with his arms,but even if he did blocked it,it felt like he did nothing and the punch still deal lot of damage and shattered the bones in Oliver's arms. The force behind the punch also pushed Oliver few steps backwards."What the hell? The attack was quite slow and sluggish,how then was it able to harm me this much?" Oliver pondered internally with a shocked expression as he glanced at his arms t

    Christopher stood in the middle of the ruined battlefield, his breathing heavy. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he wiped it away with the back of his hand. His eyes locked onto Oliver, who stood a few feet away, his body glowing with a strange, powerful light. The ground beneath him was cracked and broken from their battle, small chunks of rock floating in the air as if held by invisible hands.The air was thick with tension.Neither of them spoke. There was no need for words.And then—BOOM!They moved at the same time, both lunging forward with blinding speed. Their fists met in the middle, crashing into each other with such force that a shockwave blasted outward, shaking the very earth beneath them. Stones and dust shot into the air, trees in the distance swayed violently, and the sky seemed to tremble.Oliver twisted his body mid-air, spinning fast like a deadly whirlwind. His foot shot out in a powerful kick aimed straight at Christopher’s ribs.Christopher barel

    A massive red beam of energy shot across the battlefield, cutting through everything in its way. It was like a giant sword made of pure destruction, burning everything it touched. The ground shook violently as the attack roared forward, tearing through stone, earth, and even the air itself. The battlefield, once filled with scattered ruins and broken pillars, now became a place of fire and chaos. The blast left behind a deep, glowing trench where the earth had been ripped apart. Oliver barely had a second to react. [Final Burst: 5 seconds remaining.] His heart pounded. His muscles tensed. Move! He didn't think—his body moved on its own. With a desperate twist, he threw himself to the side, barely avoiding the beam. But he wasn’t fast enough. The searing heat passed dangerously close, brushing against his arm. His sleeve melted away instantly, turning into nothing but ash. His skin burned, sharp pain shooting through him. BOOOOOM! The explosion from the impact sent a

    Christopher’s body flew through the air like a shooting star, smashing through buildings, stone walls, and metal beams. Every time he crashed into something, the ground shook, and pieces of the battlefield flew in all directions. The force of his impact split the earth open, tearing up the remains of the city. Dust and debris filled the air, blocking out the light. The battlefield, once filled with tall buildings and streets, was now nothing but ruins and broken ground. But Oliver was not done yet. His golden eyes burned like fire. With one step—he vanished. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared above Christopher. His body moved faster than lightning, too quick for the eye to follow. Then— BOOM! Oliver’s foot slammed into Christopher’s ribs, sending him crashing straight down into the ground below. The impact was like a meteor striking the earth. A massive crater formed beneath Christopher’s body, the ground splitting apart in every direction. Waves of energy shot ou

    His golden aura flickered like the last sputtering flame of a dying star. Only the echoes of devastation remained in the air, the land beyond recognition in scars. Altogether, an acrid stench of scorched earth interlaced with burnt metal assailed his nostrils; clouds of smoke twisted lazily above, tainting the air with blood that tasted of iron. His breath was shallow, weighed down by exhaustion, yet still he stood tall. Then applause kicked in— Clap. Clap. Clap. Hesitant at first, one set two, which summoned a dozen others. In no time, it burst into an all-encompassing roar and thunderous applause. Cheers erupted while the surviving cohort combined their voices into a din. Thunderous stomping rattled the ground. All students. All teachers. Even those who had withheld their approval earlier were on their feet, applauding, cheering, chanting the name of one man: "Oliver! Oliver! Oliver!" He turned his head slightly to survey the area. The same students who had once cursed him

    Oliver’s fingers trembled as they hovered over the doorknob. The sound of pounding fists echoed through his small apartment, sharp and frantic. His heart thumped loudly in his chest, each beat heavy and uncertain. Someone was outside. Someone desperate. He swallowed hard, his mind still spinning from what had happened earlier that evening. The fight. The strange power that had surged through his body. The golden screen that had appeared in front of his eyes, changing everything. And now, this. Another urgent knock. Faster this time. More desperate. “Oliver, please!” a voice cried. “It’s me! It’s Iris! Open up!” His breath caught in his throat. Iris? He knew that name. He knew her. She wasn’t a friend—not really. Just a classmate. Someone he had seen in the hallways at school, someone who was always there but never close. She was quiet, never drawing too much attention to herself. Why was she at his door in the middle of the night? He hesitated for only a second bef

    Caphriel’s golden eyes narrowed as he stood high above, his tall, powerful figure glowing with divine light. Around him, the other Archangels remained still, their eyes locked on the battlefield below. They watched in silence, their massive wings barely moving, shining with celestial fire. None of them acted. Not yet. Perhaps they still believed this fight would end quickly. That the enemy before them was still beneath them. That he was still just a man.They were wrong.Oliver stood in the middle of the golden battlefield, his chest rising and falling with each heavy breath. The Black Star Art coursed through his veins, changing him, twisting his body into something beyond human. His hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the sheer force of the power surging inside him. The Voidlight flickered within him, a strange mix of abyssal darkness and divine radiance. It whispered in his mind, tempting him, urging him to let go, to surrender to it completely. The power was overwhelm

    Oliver had been feeling as if his heart would be torn apart. The world shattered around him into something that did not make sense to him. Maybe he was falling but not like the fall from a great height to reach the ground; it was deeper, seeping more as if it fell into a storm of power. Light and Darkness swirled around, failing to win. It was something imbetween-something dangerous and unknown and it was Voidlight and burned inside him, transforming him. His body wasn't the same anymore. His soul wasn't the same. He could feel it. Then the fall stopped. He had a heavy landing as if his boots had come to a slam on something solid but when he looked down, he could not tell what it was. It looked like liquid metal but it was nothing moving. Instead, it bore him up, though it felt alive, humming underneath his feet. The air pressed in tightly and was heavy with power pent outside, full of electric and ancient something entering into his lungs. He was never supposed to be here. He kne

    The Fallen Angel stood still, barely moving. Its pale eyes, full of sadness and something like curiosity, stared at Oliver as if seeing him for the very first time. The tattered wings on its back twitched slightly, and the broken armor on its body made a hollow rattling sound as it shifted, even the smallest movement causing the pieces to clink against each other.The air around them felt thick, almost heavy, pressing down on Oliver's shoulders like an invisible weight. He could feel something—something unseen yet deeply present. It was not just silence. It was more than that. It was a feeling, a presence, like a storm waiting to break.Oliver’s heart pounded inside his chest like a drum, hard and fast. He tightened his grip on his sword, feeling the strange energy of the Voidlight Resonance coursing through his veins. It was unlike anything else—neither heavy nor light, neither warm nor cold.

    Oliver took a deep breath. The golden light of the throne behind him glowed softly, filling his body with warmth. It felt like a steady fire in his veins, keeping him strong. His heart pounded, but he stood firm, his feet planted on the bridge beneath him. The bridge stretched forward, leading into darkness.Then, without warning, the silence broke.A sharp wind roared through the air, colder than anything Oliver had felt before. It was not just cold—it carried something else, something darker. The golden light behind him flickered as if struggling against an unseen force.Then, a shadow appeared ahead.It was not an ordinary shadow. It was not something cast by light. It was darkness itself, given form. Slowly, the shape grew clearer, until Oliver could see the figure standing before him.It was tall, wrapped in armor that was once magnificent but now broken. The armor was cracked and covered in deep scratches, as if it had endured countless battles. Large wings extended from its bac

    Oliver stood at the edge of the long, pale stone bridge. His body ached, every muscle sore from battle, but he ignored the pain. His breath was heavy, his heartbeat loud in his ears. He had come so far, fought so hard, and now—this was it. The final step.A gust of wind rushed past him, cold and sharp as a blade. His torn cloak fluttered behind him, its edges singed from the battle he barely survived. He tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, the knuckles of his fingers whitening.“Just a little further,” he murmured to himself.Slowly, he lifted his foot and took that first step toward the throne.The moment his boot touched the stone, something deep beneath the surface stirred. A low hum filled the air, a sound so deep and powerful that it felt like it came from the bones of the world itself. The throne, standing tall and unyielding at the far end of the bridge, pulsed with light. At first, the glow was silver, soft like moonlight. Then, it shifted, turning into a deep, molten

    Oliver's breath came in ragged gasps. His muscles burned, aching from the long, hard fight, but he forced himself to keep moving. He couldn’t stop now. He had come too far. The air around him felt thick, heavy, not just with the heat of battle, but with something else—something unseen. It was like the world itself was holding its breath, waiting.He staggered forward, boots slipping on the blood-slicked ground. The battlefield stretched endlessly around him—bodies strewn across the cracked earth, weapons shattered, the sky a swirling mass of storm clouds. Somewhere in the distance, metal still clashed against metal, screams rose and fell, but here, in this moment, there was only Oliver and the path ahead.His vision swam, but he clenched his jaw and pushed on. The weight of his sword in his hand was comforting, grounding him in the chaos. Then, without warning, the battlefield was gone.No more blood. No more broken weapons. No more fallen enemies.Instead, a long bridge stretched out

    As Oliver passed through the gate, he immediately felt the difference. The air was charged somehow, almost like entering the eye of a storm—the part of the storm where things were still, not where the winds howled and raged. But he perceived that stillness as a kind of cover for all that lay beneath: chaos and power swirling just out of reach, waiting for him.The voices began to recede. Before, they had clamored within him, a steady whine pressing against the edge of consciousness. Now they were whispers that did not depart from him entirely. A tempest thundered within his soul. Yet there was something within him that calmed. He had not fought through the gate; he had spoken truthfully and been allowed to pass. That carried weight. But he also knew, in his very bones, that the real trial came next. He started to look about. The realm beyond the gate was unlike anything he had seen. Day was neither here nor there; it was something in between. Flooding essentially with different glis

    With great caution, Oliver moved, his body aching from the recently fought battle. The being had been powerful; its darkness practically enfolding him. But he had made it through, yet something within him seemed to have altered. The raw power inside him surged: free and wild, like the waters of a river ready to burst into a flood. This kind of power was something he did not understand, and it filled him with dread. Every so often, far-off whispers would call to him, voices from the beyond reminding him that he had not fully eluded.Nadia walked quietly at his side. Ever the stabilizing mountain while everything around them seemed to give way, she had been his one constant anchor, keeping him from drifting off to the unknowns.

    All at once, Oliver found himself standing in the ruins of the now forgotten city. The departing words of the demon still echoed in his mind–heavy with meaning, even though he did not yet understand. The next moment, everything vanished. The substance ceased to be under his feet, and only emptiness remained.The sky now twisted into an abyss, whirling black and white like ink into water. An incredible force, something more than human, yanked him downward. Falling was not the word for it. Something within him had reached inside to pull at his soul and draw him into a place where nothing ought to exist.He did not have time to scream.Cold like no other, a cold that seeped into his bones, into his mind, into the very essence of him-he was enveloped by it. If his body still existed-at least it had the feeling that it was disintegrating, as if he were made of nothing but thin threads, being pulled apart one by one. His thoughts were scattered like leaves in a storm. He could not figure out
