2024-10-29 19:42:56“I thought you said only fodder remained, you fool!” Nelson exclaimed as he ran alongside the others.
They were currently being chased by an Awakened Grade 7 Asphalt Golem, a humanoid Golem made of an asphalt like substance.They had left their broken building shelter and were heading towards Amy's dojo when they suddenly came across it.“Yeah! That thing is fodder compared to the rest of those monsters that descended from the sky crack.” Eric replied as he ran and huffed.[Fatigue: 46%]‘Dammit. Why didn't analysis pick it up tho.’He was looking at his screen to figure out what happened.‘Ah! The message was minimised?! It never left like the others.’All other analysis alerts had disappeared but that of the golem still remained, minimised.“Yeah, I can't keep running.” Erica said and stopped to look at the golem that was coming after them.Looking at the thing, it was sufficiently big. At least as big as truck and as tall as a bungalow. Each step it took sent waves and tremors through the ground as it got closer.“Oi oi. Even I don't need intelligence to tell me that that thing is way out of our league.” Chuck stopped and said, pulling on Erica's arm.“There's five of us currently. We can beat it, it's just a grade above us.” Erica replied as she panted softly.“We're not in tip top condition so we can't say how much luck we're gonna get in beating it. Plus, it's defense is top tier. Golem's sacrifice speed for high defense.” Eric replied as he also looked at the incoming golem.“That thing is like sixty meters away from us, if we run, we can still lose it. I mean, look at the way it's running right now.” Matt said pointing at the golem.The golem was trying everything in its power to reach them, running wildly and directinh killing intent towards them.“I mean, if not for the fact that it's directing killing intent towards us, I would have said that thing wasn't even taking us seriously.” Matt continued as he was preparing to run off again.“Sharp and pointy things won't do much damage huh?” Nelson muttered to himself,. stroking his chin.He brought out his dagger from his inventory and checked the stats;[__Equipped Item__][Item Name: Dagger of the Demonic Sun][Type: Weapon][Item Description: Forged from the blood clot of the Demonic Sun itself, this blade bears the wrath of the demonic deity even if it's a mild amount.][Class: Rare][Grade: 8][Attack Damage: 90][Critical Damage: 125(0.9% chance)][Durability: 1493/1500][Enchantments: Immolating Edge; Kinetic Thrust; Demonic Solar Arc; Heat Resistance (When equipped)]‘Immolating Edge?’He thought. He hadn't really seen what this enchantments were for really.[Enchantment: Immolating Edge][Enchantment Type: Passive & Active][Enchantment Description: The edge of the blade is naturally hot and cuts through things with ease. When imbued with mana, the temperature of the edge reaches daring heights cutting through any adversary with relative ease. Immolating damage depends on the amount of mana imbued.]‘Heat… Asphalt… I'm a grade 8 with a rare grade 8 weapon against a grade 7…’“Hey Eric, Rare item class is equivalent to Awakened beast class right?” Nelson asked, looking at the golem inching towards them by the second.It was now about thirty meters away from them, grunting as it ran slowly.“Let's try our luck. Eric, here.” Nelson said handing over the dagger to Eric.“You have more mana points than all of us here. So use its enchantment. I'm not giving it out to you, I'm lending it out to you. I'll collect it as soon as we're done.” He added as he pounded his fists together.“What're you gonna do? Pound it with your fists?” Eric asked incredulously as he collected the blade.“Yes.” Nelson said with the cockiest smirk on his face.[Skill ‘Blazing Fists’ is active!][Blazing Fists: When in a fight and user utilizes his fist alone, he gets a boost in strength, speed and damage.][+25% Attack Damage; +4 strength; +2 speed; +25% damage to armoured opponents.]‘Jesus! That's like +50% attack on the golem.’A reddish orange aura covered Nelson's arms as he got into a boxer's stance.Everyone got in position and was ready to face a monster a grade above them all.Twenty meters and reducing…‘Use Skill:Analysis.’Eric gave the system a mental command and his eyes took on a soft blue glow.[Skill, ‘Analysis’ have been activated][[Monster Information]][Name: Asphalt Golem][Race: Monster][Class: Awakened][Status: Alive][Grade: 7][HP: 350/350][Further Information requires more analysis.][Time to complete said analysis: 6 hours 30minutes.]Eric looked at the last message with scorn and disgust.‘No, what the hell!’He clutched the dagger firmly and took a stance as well.Ten meters and still reducing…Nelson charged forward with insane speed, the aura around his arms blazing brightly. As he advanced, he covered his fists with scorching hot flames.‘Ain't no blazing fists if there ain't no flames.’Soon he was upon the golem, his friends behind him.The golem roared and brought down one of its arms on its target, one that was easily dodged by Nelson.As soon as the hand connected with the ground, a thick layer of frost covered the hand and cemented it with the ground slowing it down.Nelson ran up the arm with his enhanced speed till he got to its shoulder.POWWW!Nelson fists connected with the golem's temple, jerking it to the side.[-20 HP of Asphalt Golem]‘Ah, this skill… it's OP!’Nelson thought as he jumped off of the shoulder unto a destroyed vehicle nearby.The golem freed its trapped hand only for another blast of frost to cover its entire head in ice.Eric ran past the golem and went behind it, slashing the mana imbued dagger at the back of its knee.[MP: 150/210][-5 HP of Asphalt Golem][Golem's HP: 325/350]The blade went through it like knife through flesh, creating a orange glowing wound.The golem stumbled and went down on its knees as it tried to break the frost on its face.POWWW!Another blow landed on the shoulder of the golem, nearly shattering the entire thing as nets of cracks ran all over its armoured body.Several small rockets flew towards the disoriented monster and exploded on contact with it.[-45 HP of Asphalt Golem]Matt was holding a compound rocket launcher capable of shooting nine small rockets at once.A wave of black wind blew towards the golem and covered it.[Wind Of Death has been used in target. -2 HP every second for one minute.]“Way to go fatso, let's keep it coming guys.” Nelson praised as he moved in again and delivered another -20 HP punch on its head.Eric appeared above the golem and aimed to thrust the dagger into one of its crimson eyes. A blue aura covered him taking the shape of a hippo's head.It worked well apparently, a little too well.[Critical Damage done. -45 HP of Asphalt Golem][Golem's HP: 135/350]“I'm not done! Kinetic Thrust!” Eric yelled using one of the dagger's active enchantments.[Critical Damage done. -45 HP of Asphalt Golem][Golem's HP: 90/350]Eric jumped off and another flurry of rockets hit the golem again taking away 45 of its health.[Golem's HP: 45/350]The golem was been overwhelmed with little breathing space.Nelson came in again and smashed his fist into the jaw of the monster, taking another 20 HP from the monster.Eric swung the dagger, creating an arc of blazing heat and enhanced it with his own mana causing a wide magma hot gash on the creature's torso. That took 15 HP away from the monster.They all gave way for a giant lump of thick ice, big enough to flatten a truck, as it barreled down on the golem.[-10 HP of Asphalt Golem.][Analysis: Erica Jason has killed the Asphalt Golem.]‘We won!’ Eric almost yelped as he panted.They had slain the monster with team effort and critical thinking.[Analysis: An Awakened Grade 8, Orge Brute, has found your location. Be advised!]‘Eh?’

Somewhere at another part of that street, inside a dojo, the stench of blood was heavy in the air, very heavy.All around the main room of the dojo, corpses of different types lay with dire and devious wounds on their vital points.Thud!Another corpse dropped, without so much as a scream or a sound, as blood quickly pooled underneath it.The killer walked to the corner of the room, not minding all the bodies around, and took a napkin and wiped the blood from the katana used.In the dim room, the outline of the killer's face showed. Fair in complexion, golden long hair tied to a ponytail, neon amber eyes, a sharp nose, plump lips, a sharp chin and a very cold expression.She exhaled and brandished her katana and looked towards the last living thing in the room, walking slowly towards it with a cold and calculating gaze.“Blradl jshehisn krjdb!” The goblin at the corner of the room, who was on its arse and its back touching the wall, uttered.It sounded like gibberish but this goblin w

[Stage 3, World Saturation, of the World Awakening had commenced. A moment of silence for the humans who rejected the system.]This message was seen by every human who had accepted the system.For the cohort, there was no time to acknowledge the message because the ogre was free from the persistent undead imps.Its face was mangled and only one of its eyes was destroyed by the attacks but it was still very much okay… and vengeful.It looked towards the crater it had made when it smashed Eric and found out that Eric was still pretty much alive.‘Dammit!’ Eric cursed inwardly as he equipped his dagger, readying himself.Meanwhile, Nelson was already on his feet. Although bleeding and covered in dust and blood, he appeared fine as he stretched himself.Merely breathing was a chore but his awakened body could bear with it.He looked at his profile tab meticulously to see what he could do.[[Profile Tab]][Name: Nelson Makker][Race: Human][Level: 5][Title: None][i][Class: Awakened][i]

“I wonder what this third stage of world saturation means for humans without the system.” Eric randomly stated, as they ate dinner. They had gathered the foodstuffs from the house where they were.“Give it a rest OG fodder! You've said this thing more than twelve times! I'll smack you skull if you mention it again! Fawk!” Nelson cursed, clearly tired of hearing Eric talk about it.“It's simple really. A moment of silence isn't for the living. Whatever changes the third stage brings is probably killing the people without the system.” Amy made a wild guess as she put a piece of cucumber and bacon in her mouth. They were eating a cucumber tomato salad with bacon.“Hey Amy, what's your intelligence stat?” Chuck changed the topic and gazed at the pretty lady.Everyone on the table, except Amy and Chuck, chuckled whilst expecting her answer.“29 intelligence points.” Amy replied casually, putting another piece of the food in her mouth.Eric, who was drinking water from a glass, nearly choke
System Beast Lord Chapter 12: Very Narrow Escape
The Demon Imp Monarch towered over the six humans, its grotesque silhouette stretching ominously across the destroyed street. Its six eyes, glowing with a malevolent crimson light, bore into them with a chilling intensity, stripping away any semblance of hope or courage. With every breath, it exudes an aura of pure malice, filling the air with a palpable sense of dread. As its gaze swept over them, the humans felt a cold shiver run down their spines, realising they were nothing more than insignificant prey in the presence of this ancient evil.'So evil… To think those Grade 9 Imps would have a form as peak as this.’ Eric gritted his teeth as he had this thought.The Lesser Demon Imps looked nothing like this, if anything they were like nymphs or day old spawn of this abomination. The area around the Imp Monarch was scorching hot, but it was bearable to an extent. A normal human would have gotten heat stroke in just one minute of staying in its presence.Nelson swallowed hard, real

Potato chips, chocolate, marshmallows, cookies and a lot of soda were everywhere in the stores either on the ground, on counters or in their inventories.“Apart from snacks and various edibles, we'd need medical items and toiletries. Pack up quick!” Eric said before clapping.“Who the hell are you ordering around shrimp? Do what you like, just don't order me.” Amy said as she packed several edibles into her inventory.Eric glanced at her and smirked softly before walking to the counter and getting a brown carton.“What do you need that for? Just put the stuff into your inventory straight up. Why do you need a carton?” Chuck said a pair of raw hotdog packs glitching away from his hands. “It's wiser that way, yuuno?”“As expected of someone with a system IQ of ten.” Amy quipped causing the others to chuckle.Chuck, clearly displeased, interjected.“It's common sense guys. Why do you need a carton? Why would you even need it?” Eric sighed, and explained before the poor guy embarrasses h

“A truly dangerous skill.” Erica said, remembering how she hadn't even sensed the assailant.“Ah. Guess who you killed.” Chuck said to Matt with a smirk plastered on his face.“Who?” Matt asked, his curiosity piqued.“The store cashier.” Chuck replied, pulling up the tag on the dead man's shirt.“...” Everyone was speechless after hearing that.Nelson and Eric folded their lips into their mouth, suppressing a potential laugh.“Damn.” Amy said, feigning regret and sorrow.…They had packed up whatever they needed in carts and segregated each of the categories to each people; Nelson's and Erica's inventory held the carts for food, Amy held the carts for medical items and Eric's inventory for ‘toilet stuffs’.Matt and Chuck got nothing, except what they had packed beforehand into their inventory.…“Yo Rich worm. Get over here, let's go dump your murder victim somewhere.” Nelson called unto Matt as he walked towards the cashier's corpse.“...” Matt frowned, ready to protest and reject th

“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

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

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

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

“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

“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

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.

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!

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

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
