System Beast Lord Chapter 15: Ambush Strategy
“Guys, what the hell is a Kalekalip?” Matt asked as he continued to stare intently at the screen.“Doesn't ring a bell.” Chuck said, looking at others for clues.Amy shrugged indicating her obliviousness to the name. Erica and Nelson also shook their heads.“A screen says Armament Kalekalip 12.7mm AMR. I don't even know what it is. And there's two of them up there. Probably outside in the skyscraper.” Matt said in frustration and looked at everyone. He suddenly scowled when he noticed Eric with a sly smile.“Eric? What is a Kalekalip?” Matt asked with a subtle frown on his face.“Heh.” Eric's smile grew wider as he nudged invisible glasses as though adjusting them.Nelson frowned and walked up to him grabbed by the collar.“Hello there, you little scoundrel. I don't know if you understand the situation at hand but for some reason we're surrounded by people with weapons called a Kalekalip. What is it?” Nelson growled, staring intently at Eric, who for some reason even has a wider smile
System Beast Lord Chapter 16: A Dog-Eat-Dog World
The blonde bearded man and Drake, the goth, trained their snipers at the entrance of the store.Several smoke grenades were thrown by the men downstairs and some by the snipers.The men, all of them dressed like robbers in black, trooped for the entrance with guns in hand.“Halt!” The illusory voice came again, domineering as ever.The men found themselves unable to move despite how much they tried to move.Amy exhaled and tore open her eyes that shone a dangerous bright amber light. Her form turned ghostly and she disappeared from her position with a gust of wind in her position.An ethereal silver glint was seen by the seven figures that aimed to storm the store and with a metallic ring, Amy was behind all of them, facing away from them.Their attention was drawn to her automatically and as they hoped to move, Amy sheathed her katana.As soon as she did, the silver glint permeated the air again and a red fog covered the area.All seven men fell down to the ground, lifeless and decap
System Beast Lord Chapter 17: Not Your Average Awakened
“I hope you burn in hell!” Eric spat on the corpse, stepped over them and returned to the main room of the store.He had now accepted that humans, whether in a perfect world or not, will continue to be humans.The world awakening that happened on earth has solidified the survival of this world as a dog-eat-dog survival strategy.Throwing literal predators into the world has made it so that one would have to kill or be killed.‘It doesn't have to be this way. If need be I'll grow stronger and hunt the system.’As soon as he had this thought, he could have sworn he heard a distant snickering sound. He wheeled to check on the corpse but analysis showed that they were dead.‘Huh, that's weird.’He continued on ignoring the sound that lasted for a second, ruminating over the fact that he had just killed a human.‘That was a necessary evil. I would have been the one to die instead.’He consoled himself internally and walked even faster, pushing the thought to the deepest parts of his mind.
System Beast Lord Chapter 18: Queen of Storms
Just as the cohort settled down for rest during the rain, they all received alerts.[Greetings Awakened, please find, attached to this alert, a ‘terms and condition’ contract. Read it and sign at the end whether you want to keep the system or not.] However, one alert was specific to Eric. One alert he usually dreaded was now right before him again.[Analysis: An Awakened Grade 1, Queen of Storms, is in the vicinity. Be advised!]Not long after the alerts, a loud unearthly screech pierced through the air, generating a forward blast of wind that seemed to stop the rain for two seconds before continuing.Following this screech, the rain intensified and turned in a storm with lightning now snaking across the sky and striking tall buildings.“What the hell?!” Matt exclaimed, visibly mortified by the screech.Everyone, in fact, was shaken by this screech.“An Awakened Grade 1, Queen of Storms is in the vicinity.” Eric shouted so his voice could be heard over the loud storm that seemed to be
System Beast Lord Chapter 19: Bulky Contract
The cohort trooped outside the store into the raging storm and ghastly winds, with minds that they would probably die right there. They were somehow hopeful that Eric was right due to his trait.The moth creature was sporting a cream colored furry coat with large black spots. Its body and wings seemed to be wreathed in blue lighting that was continuously snaking in and out of its body and through its wings.It flew of its position, causing several large chunks of the building to fall to the group a few meters from them.Eric looked down and saw that the road in which they stood was covered with rapidly flowing runoff water.‘So much rain!’The moth landed directly before them and screeched discreetly. If it was the normal screech, they would have their internals ruptured or worse.Its needle-like legs wounded the asphalt below and cracked it. It looked at the humans with rage as though it would slay them any minute.“You're not one of them! Who are you?” The soft ethereal sound whisper
System Beast Lord Chapter 20: Another Secret Quest
Everyone had freshened up and were now pondering whether to leave the store or to remain there as a permanent abode.“We don't know how many survivors there are and I can't stay like this till the end of the world. Don't you wanna leave this city at least once in your life? On foot?” Erica said, sporting a smile after the last question.“The fawk you think I am? A nomad? I've left New York more than ten time in my life but you can't expect me to trek out of New York.” Nelson retorted.“What choice do you have though? It's not like you can call for a private lift of something. This world is kind of done for so I doubt any tech might still be available.” Amy answered him with a neutral tone.Matt, Chuck and Eric were silent in this meeting. The first two guys acted like spectators, they were fine with the decision the group makes as long as they were all together. Eric, however, had his head buried in in the contract details as he chewed gum.The group decided not to bother him and let
System Beast Lord Chapter 21: Dungeons and Rifts
Two days went past fast with it being pristine, very pristine.After the two days went by, everyone with the system got the notification.…[[Main Quest]][Quest Name: Open Up The Earth][Quest Details: It is time to see how wrecked your world is and how much it has changed.

The qu
System Beast Lord Chapter 22: Small Joys of Zoopathy
It was nighttime and the world became vibrant visually. The sky was covered with a mystical aurora, the horizon, as far as the eye could see and in every direction, was dotted with pillars of light of different colours that ascended from the ground to the depths of the sky.Nelson was on the roof of the skyscraper opposite the store looking at the sky and myriads of colourful pillars that dotted the landscape.He tipped the wine glass towards his mouth and sipped the content within it, his free hand in his pocket.His expression was likened to that of forlornness and his eyes distant.“Woaaaaaaah!” Eric's scream reached his ears, causing him to look back at the store below, over the edge.His eyes widened and he backed away from the edge immediately, almost stumbling on his bum.A figure blitzed, past the very edge of the roof of the skyscraper, into the sky.The figure was humanoid and was flying really drunkenly and wobbly as though it was its first time flying.“Wahhhh!” The scream

Chapter 95: Insidious Hunters
Matt, after dumping frag grenades into the forest haphazardly, proceeded to conjure several clones of himself and clad them all in a protective and flexible armour. Each clone wielded a futuristic rifle and they all numbered up to seven excluding the main body. One of the rewards he received from the system after the rift expedition was a Trait evolution from Armament Creation to Digital Constructs. This not only allowed him to conjure up otherworldly futuristic weapons but also digital clones, armours, shields and basically anything else. He's limited by his own imagination and mana reserves. The best thing about it was that mana wasn't expended to maintain his constructs. He only consumed mana when creating or fixing his constructs as the very existence of those constructs were free of charge. If he happened to dismiss any of his construct or if they happen to be destroyed, he will receive half or a quarter of the mana used to conjure that construct respectively. “I'm going to ne
Chapter 94: Let The Games Begin
The following day came very fast and they were all gathered at the mouth of the cave, all around Eric. “Let's not forget that there will be opportunities for duels and gangbangs in this event so it'll test your prowess and how well you know how to use your abilities. Afterall, everyone here is a pinnacle entity of the Awakened class.” Eric started addressing his people. “I'm counting on that duel of a thing. ‘Tis one of the reasons I'm doing this in the first place.” Nelson said with a smirk. “Of course it is.” Chuck mumbled under his breath with a somewhat exasperated expression. “Oh don't worry, Chuck. You're not my prime prey, you're just the subsidiary prey.” Nelson said, comforting him. “Doesn't matter, Eric warned us not to underestimate anyone though. I pray you underestimate me, Nelson.” Chuck said as his face adopted a soft yet grim smile. “You'd be in for a surprise too.” After he said this, he chuckled darkly for a few moments, garnering several looks from the te
Chapter 93: Preparations
“Is that supposed to even be possible? It hasn't even been a week.” Matt said with utter surprise. “Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you, sincerely.” He quickly added and smiled. “So which one did you get?” “How about we let it be a surprise for you all. We haven't really consolidated our abilities ever since we were chased into the rift by that monster.” Eric stated with a soft smile and a raised finger. Everyone looked at Eric with suspicion and Nelson shook his head and sighed. “What do you have in mind, fodder?” He asked his friend. “I thought you said you wouldn't call him fodder again.” Chuck glanced at Nelson with a raised eyebrow. Nelson shot him a mean look causing Chuck to withdraw his gaze with a wry smile. “I propose that we have a free for all match, an all out duel with each other or some kind of capture the flag game with our powers being used.” Eric answered him with a smile. “What do you think? It's a way to let loose before something serious occurs again.” “I
Chapter 92: Right on Bermuda
“How's the hunt?” Erica asked the remaining members of the cohort that just arrived into the cave. “Futile. There are almost no animals or game in these woods.” Matt responded with frustration as he dismissed his shotgun construct, causing it to dissipate in a digital glitch-like manner. “Yeah, the forest was quite peaceful asides the occasional chirping of crickets and you know, normal forest ambiance.” Chuck added succinctly as he sat on a small rock and heaved a breath of relief. Chuck and Matt had gone out to search for food for the rest of the cohort while Maric and Mr. Baker went out to confirm where they were. “Nothing like I've seen before Eric.” Mr. Baker shook his head and sat down as he began recounting his scouting experience alongside Maric. Apparently they had gotten to land after the glacier and ocean current brought them here. And they got to this place on a misty night at the edge of a rocky cliff. “The forest on this part is quite normal, if I do say so myself.
Chapter 91: Exclusiveness
About two weeks had passed since the whole chaos of bounties ensued and the people now knew the consequences of their actions. The rewards of the bounties were automatically deducted from the one issuing the bounty, regardless of whether they had money or not. This has left many to be destitute in system currency and even many casually hunted. If one didn't know how to change appearance or hide from skills like Analysis and the likes, the hunted would not live a safe life. Following this development, as well, was the creation of several factions dedicated to bounty hunting and they have more or less ‘culled’ the useless bounties and claimed rewards for themselves, leaving the truly dangerous ones. Eric and co had finally reached land and it was a forest of some sorts, not too dense and not too sparse. They were currently residing in a cave, unsure of the next move they'll make. Amy and Nelson, especially Amy, were despondent about the fact that they lost something valuable that day
Chapter 90: Let The Chaos Reign
Everyone was adrift above a massive glacier, despondent and drained of all emotions and strength. There was an active ocean current propelling the glacier towards an unknown direction. Amy was still asleep and Nelson’s condition had stabilised due to his self-regeneration but it was still far from optimal. “What do we do now?” Chuck asked with a serious tone, seeing that Eric was just staring at the horizon where Jasmine and the man left for about six hours. “Cut it out, Necromancer. Let him process his thoughts and talk at his own leisure.” Matt refuted Chuck and shook his head. ‘He’s probably regretting keeping that girl alive back then.’ Matt mused internally before shaking his head. Countless moments of silence passed and Eric finally stirred, clenching his fists. The first light of day was just appearing from the horizon, painting it with a tint of surreal orange hues. Erica stood up from her spot on the glacier and walked towards her brother in hopes to get through to him.
Chapter 89: All For Nought
Both of them withdrew, leaving a distance of at least 25 metres between them, while panting and sweating profusely. ‘Two for the price of one. That's Karma for you, you bastard!’ Eric cursed internally before cracking a smile. “Abyssal Aura huh?” The man gauged the stone in his hands briefly before stowing it away in his inventory. After a moment's deliberation, he smiled and said; “Given the fact that it's from you, King Noel, it is utterly valuable. And Theft never lies, this is the heaviest skill you have and by the looks of it, you haven't even used it yet.” He then chuckled and rambled on, “I presume it's what makes you you and it is greater than the Samsara inheritance you possess. My mission here is complete, I even had some bonuses as well.” ‘Yeah, keep d*ck-riding yourself. Theft just got scammed by a higher skill, I'm the MC, you bastard. I'm Him! The Exclusive One!’ Eric chanted internally, his glee and happiness was immeasurable. Contrary to his feelings, his face w
Chapter 88: Karma and Fraud
Mr. Baker stretched his hands forward and encompassed the unconscious Amy in a forcefield bubble, quickly taking her away from the man’s presence. The man didn't bother stopping him because he had gotten what he wanted from her. Even if he wanted to stop them from taking her away, he might fail in doing so and it might prove fatal for him due to Eric's unstable state. “Is she alright?” Chuck came over and inspected her. Everyone also gathered around her in concern. Matt frowned his face and shook his head. “Although it's not Analysis, my Vital Vision is detecting an anomaly in her body. It's like a void or a vacuum in her essence-body.” Matt explained and deactivated his skill before adding succinctly. “Asides this, she's alive.” Erica pursed her lips, placing the back of her hand on her forehead. “She's… feverish. Dammit, what did that bastard do to her?” Erica cursed, an out-of-character behaviour because she was upset. “Two people should stay with Nelson and Amy while the
Chapter 87: Samsara Frenzy
Eric watched with trepidation as the blackened hand of the man pulled a brightly glowing golden gemstone from Amy’s chest.It wasn't that he plunged his hands physically into her chest, rather, his skill allowed him to directly come in contact with all the essence of his target as well as all the various constituents within that target.It was putting your hands through a lake and pulling out whatever was inside. Basically, the heavier it was, the more valuable it seemed within the target.Amy was currently unconscious, held up by the man's grip on her neck and oblivious to whatever was going on.“Erica!” Eric called out to her twin, who swiftly responded.She came over and took Nelson from him while Eric ran forward insanely fast to take Amy from the hands of the man.The two other clones have been dispatched with one crumbling totally into decaying flesh and putrid blood and darkened pus-like substance while the other was totally obliterated and mauled by Maric's weapons and Matt's
