System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Outcast
“So, you’re going to stay at the Academy since you can’t return to Silas' house, right?” Tiana asked Eren this while packing her stuff into a duffel bag. She was leaving the Academy, just like most of the Ten had. Since their training had been stopped, and the Academy wasn’t resuming anytime soon, there wasn’t any need for them to stay back anymore. Tiana would have left since, but she was spending some time with Eren. “So, where will you stay now? And what will you be doing?” Tiana asked Eren again. The query was met with silence. Now that she thought about it, he didn’t answer her first question. She glanced up from her bag to him, who seemed deep in thought. He seemed lost in his world. What the hell was he thinking? “Hello.” Tiana took two steps and snapped her fingers in his face, “Earth to Eren?” Eren blinked once before he noticed Tiana, his mouth opening slightly. “Oh yeah, sorry. I kind of got distracted by something. What do you want to know?” “What wears

The day was gloomy. The sun hid behind a thick blanket of clouds, leaving the world dreary and dull. The birds were silent, the weather indifferent. Everything looked gray and bleak as if it had lost its spark of life, leaving everywhere lifeless and dull. One would not have expected different today as Solvane Winchester’s funeral service was set to occur in an hour. It was to be attended by aristocrats, Awakened and commoners — the news of his death had finally been made public. The ceremony would be officiated in the rebuilt Academy’s cathedral. Its massive walls stood tall, protecting its inner sanctuary from harm. The air was humid and stifling. The sound of people talking around was muffled and distant. Everyone looked miserable. Many who had come for Solvane’s funeral wore black robes with red crosses. Those wearing white robes were mostly nobles or aristocrats associated with the Church. It was hard to say which of these groups was mourning him more fervently. Ev
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Interceding For Eren
Gaine jolted awake, the sharp echo of a scream piercing through the stillness of the night. He sat up, heart pounding. He couldn’t sleep. He wouldn’t even dream of it. Not when Eren's cries and screams of agony were unmistakable. And he knew that the cries came not from his nightmares but from the reality before him. His father—William Winchester— had arrested Eren on the day of the funeral on some baseless claims that the boy had something to do with the attack. Eren had something to do with the attack, and Professor Silas, the old-man orchestrator, didn’t think to take his ward with him. He’d left him here with the wolves. Gaine could only laugh in frustration, and when Eren’s raw screams pierced through the walls again, he cursed out loud, “Fuck!” This didn’t sit right with him at all. It didn’t. “Damn it,” Gaine muttered, flinging the blanket off and swinging his legs out of bed. He quickly dressed and headed out, determined to confront his father, but when he got
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student Cell Of Frustration
Days had dragged by, and Eren was still trapped in the holding cell. Every attempt to escape failed, and he was starting to lose hope. He'd tried everything—picking the lock, testing the strength of the bars, even using what little MANNA he had left. None of it worked. “Damn it,” he cursed under his breath and slammed his fist against the hard, unyielding stone wall. Each day felt longer than the last, and each night brought a new wave of frustration. It wasn't just the guards with him who made his stay unbearable; it was the cell itself, too. It was designed to break him. Built to hold Awakeneds like him, it was impenetrable, and even if he hadn't been weakened by the device that had drained his MANNA already, he would have been powerless. “There’s no getting out of here,” he muttered to himself, the reality of his situation sinking in deeper with every failed attempt. The guards knew it, too. During the day, they stood outside his cell, watching and mocking him. They’
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student The COWARD
Drake never imagined himself doing this. He never imagined conversing with the boy he thought was beneath him. But the cell was suffocating, the room too cold for his liking. He wouldn’t survive the coming days without any form of conversation. So, on the third day, after he’d been placed in a cell just opposite Eren’s, Drake took an opportunity he shouldn’t have had and tried to start a conversation with him. “How long have you been here?” He asked casually, “Five days? A week? Two weeks?” Eren didn’t look up from where he was staring intently at a blank space on the concrete wall across the cell, nor did he blink when he heard the question. He just remained silent. “What do you think William will try to do to us,” Drake tried again, “especially if he doesn’t get what he wants?” More silence. Drake’s jaw clenched. He tried yet again. “I think I have a clue. Do you want to know what I think?” Silence. There was nothing more infuriating than being ignored by someone you
System Activated: Rise Of The Bullied Student The Cell Escape
The fourth night of Drake’s stay in the cell brought a surprise that neither occupant expected. It was late at night, probably 11 p.m. or 12 a.m., Eren could guess. As usual, he could barely sleep. His stomach growled, and the goosebumps across his skin made slumbering difficult. He closed his eyes, humming a slow tone, when suddenly he heard— “Who’s that?” It was Drake. Eren ignored him and continued to hum. Then, Drake spoke again. “Who is there?” And Eren heard it finally. Footsteps. They were soft at first. Almost silent, as if whoever it was was making a point not to announce themselves. Eren stilled. The footsteps didn’t sound like those of the guards, who made sure to make a noisy entrance whenever they arrived. Eren scrambled from the wall to the small partition where he could see a bit. He continued hearing the footsteps, and this time, with each passing second, they came closer. “Eren?” A small but familiar voice called out. Eren was too stunned to spe

“Gaine?” Drake couldn’t believe his eyes.Eren was shocked, too. His body had tensed up, eyes wild with panic as he looked at Alice.“Is this the person helping us? Or is this some trick? What are you—“ Eren started but stopped when Gaine stepped forward. Drake snarled instantly. “Stand back!” He pointed at Gaine and Alice. He stood up from the stool and pointed out, “If you are here to take me back to the devil you call your father, then prepare to meet your death.”“My father is not the devil. I won’t have you insulting him.” Gaine seethed, but Drake ignored him. He continued, “After what I went through, there’s no way I’m gonna go through this without a fight.”Gaine stepped closer again, ignoring Drake’s pointless command and threats.He didn’t blame the boy. If the situation were reversed, he’d be doing the same.Drake had every reason to be wary of him. Eren too. He had Winchester blood, after all.He raised his hands in a show of surrender and said calmly. “Drake, Eren, I am

The whiff of fresh air did nothing to calm Eren's tensed nerves as he rushed after the silhouette in the woods.At first he assumed it was the light casting a shadow and producing the figure-like silhouette. But it wasn’t. There definitely was a movement.His senses were alert and he drew out his MANNA which surprisingly hummed to life, his Excalibur appearing red and bright in the dull night light. The air around him was charged with energy and with swift movement he lunged for the figure within the trees. Not thinking of who they could be or what they wanted.He called for Alice as he ran, but he did not stop to wait for her.Eren could faintly hear Alice call back at him but he refused to look back and focused on the figure running far from him now. Meanwhile Alice heard Eren’s voice and hurriedly rushed out of the cabin.She stood in the spot where he was just minutes ago and felt the charged essence of his energy there. “What happened?” Gaine rushed out and asked.“It's Eren

THE END
“Samantha Dennin." A female security officer poked her head into the gymnasium of the Academy, looking around for her. “Lord William had requested your audience. Immediately."Samantha stood up abruptly, looked at the officer, and offered her a curt nod of affirmation before removing her gym towel from her neck and following the Security officer out of the gymnasium.The air outside the gym was crispy and cold. Samantha could hear winter’s whisper from the wind and the cold.She smiled as she breathed in the fresh air. She looked forward, and in the distance, she could see the towering building, The Titan, where William Winchester's office was. She was not at a loss about what was going to happen. The new academic session of Winchester Academy started a few days before, and she had hoped that she would be able to participate in it, but William Winchester hadn't said anything yet. For her, whatever William Winchester said would determine the course of her life.“Come in." She hear

Letting Bygones Be Bygones
It had been three days since the battle, and the Academy was still buzzed with the news of the Great Fight as the students tagged it. Construction started immediately after the fight, and students joined in to make it faster and more effective. The sun shone brighter, and the people were happier. As William had briefed the media, the enemy was incapacitated and wouldn't be coming back. While it shined sunshine and rainbows, doom spelled darkness in the deepest parts of the Academy prison yards. In a state-of-the-art prison, Silas sat, locked up by order of the Awakened judiciary, until his judgment. Vatican Sol was also locked with him. The only problem that the Academy had was the runaway father and son. Edward Dennin and his son, Trevor Dennin. Finding them was becoming a problem because of Edward Dennin's expertise in hiding. However, William made sure that the security team wouldn't rest until they found them both. This became their motivation to look harder and find

The Fall Of Silas Homer
Zachary raised his head and was face to face with Silas. He desperately struggled to keep his breath going. He had held on for more than five minutes, waiting for nothing. He just wanted to keep Silas Homer busy so he would not pursue Eren. Eren stood around thirty steps away, transfixed. Zachary understood that he needed more time and was willing to help him obtain it. Zachary had two things that made him determined. The first one was that nothing would happen to his son for as long as he was conscious on the battlefield, and the second was that he wouldn't die until he explained the actual situation to his son.“You think you're all it?" Zachary asked, a disgusted look on his face. Silas's eyes widened like a madman's, obviously not accepting of what Zachary said. “I'm better than a weakling like you!" He shouted. “The world does not need weaklings. You all do nothing more than infest the world with your weakness. It's sickening.”Zachary rasped and chuckled, his face amused.

Father & Son, Face To Face
Night was fast approaching, but the fire of war still burned bright on the summit. Fights continued in different places and spots as MANNA burst forth in various ways and diverse strengths. Despite the bloody battlefield, the colors in the sky splashed out in equipoise. The blues and green and orange, the sky prided itself in its contrast to the mortality of men. The sky looked upon the men of the ground with pity as they stole life from one another and sent their souls to nowhere.Eren Trost ran into the battlefield with a roar of rage and snatched the Helm of Tyrants from Silas Homer, yanking it from his head. The older man didn't notice that a few of his hair was torn along with it. His pride and trust in the Helm of Tyrant were going to be his doom, and he didn't know it yet. Slowly, the great level of MANNA, which was running through his veins and synced with blood, left him. Realizing that he had been rid of the power he depended on, Silas Homer looked around in haste, des

Blood & Betrayal
The day was beginning to bleed into the evening, but the fighting field retained its activity. Jared Khan was faced by his children at the eastern end of the fighting field. Kathlyn had her hand on her hip as she faced her father, angrily questioning him about his decisions.“Dad! You don't have to do this.” She ran towards him to stop him from hurting innocent people. Jared Khan ignored them and tossed the guard he had just beaten up, who had slumped to the side. After he saw that the space around him was empty and no guard or soldier was standing that he could attack or fight with, he reluctantly faced his children.“Father, " Drake started. “Why are you doing this?” He transformed back and stood behind his sister, hoping that she could knock him back into reality.Drake had always believed Kathlyn to be their father's favorite.

Way Down We Go 2
Eren kept his gaze on Sid. Not out of caution but to seek his little bit of regret. But he got nothing. Despite his rage and anger-infused questions, Sid didn't respond; he just retained his blank, emotionless look, further enraging Eren.“Say something!" Eren shouted again, hoping Sid would respond and, at the least, tell him why he was doing what he was. Why did he choose to follow Silas despite his sinister plans to destroy the Awakened society and the world as they knew it?Despite Eren's hurt, which he deliberately ignored to focus on restoring his image, finding Silas, returning the Helm of Tyrants, and finding the truth behind his mother's death, he wanted to believe that Sid wasn't doing it voluntarily. He wanted to believe that he had a reason why he betrayed his trust and followed Silas“I have nothing to say to you, Eren," Sid said, unsheathing his daggers tucked in the leather pouch.

Way Down We Go
A dark cloud covered the sun and enveloped the area in the seminar hall, making it look like the evening. MANNA glowed in diverse colors in different spots and places as the Awakened society attacked one another. The Awakened who followed Silas came rushing into the arena, and William's trained soldiers attacked them with power and strength on par with Silas's Awakened. Flashes of sword fights and MANNA shots filled the seminar ground. The dark cloud that covered the sun slowly peeled off its surface, revealing the faces of each person to their opponent.The thrill of victory dried off Eren's nerves as he ran to the fighting ground, his heart beating hard as he approached the middle of the fight. He could see William's braided white hair in the distance, and he rushed to the scene, stopping about twenty steps behind him to get a clearer vision from the proximity. A smirk grew on his lips as he counted; he realized that they had more numbers than Silas's team. William and other p

First War, Second Victory
On the night before the summit, the Academy held its breath in dread and anxiety. Despite the preparations that had been made, the question of the uncertainty of what could happen still lingered in the air.The Helm of Tyrants was the most feared trinket in the Academy, so it was kept safe in the Academy Head’s office, the safest place on the Academy grounds, second only to the Academy vault. The uncertainty of the next day kept William in the middle of his office by 8 p.m., pacing a hole in the ground.William walked to the northern end of his office, where the transparent glass wall was, and looked out of the window; the north side of the Academy was completely open to him. Thoughts of what could happen the next day filled his mind. He thought of thousands of scenarios in which they won and a million in which they lost. His father had spoken to Zachary and him since they were teenagers about the Helm of Tyrants and its great power. In the wrong hands, the world as they know it

Celestial Grove
Drake sat opposite the large window in his Academy dorm room, his hands intertwined behind his head as he rocked the wooden dorm chair. Sighing for the fourth time in a minute, he brushed one hand through his hair, the dirty blonde shining a hue of gold as the morning sun streamed into his room when the clouds cleared off it.“Ugh," He groaned, his hands sliding down his face, muffling his voice. This is sweet hell, he thought and stood up abruptly, causing the chair to tip back and almost fall. Drake swiftly held it back and positioned it to face his desk, the chair frame now facing away from the window.Drake stood up to check the window. The glass was completely transparent, giving him a clear view of what was going on on the ground floor. It was bustling with activities. Drake perceived it as preparations for Silas Homer’s suspected plan to destroy the major clan leaders and senators all at once during the nation's leaders' summit, which was a few days away.He used animal he
