The weather had been bad all week, and the sky was always gray. Karl van Bate's mood was just like the weather: gloomy to the extreme.As he walked down the wet stone street, people greeted him from time to time-Karl ran a school in this town. Unlike the Kingdom of Graycastle, where only the children of noble could go to school, here he taught r the children of ordinary people.Therefore, he had a very high reputation in Border Town. "Hey,Mr. van Bate, good morning. ""Sir, is my son doing all right?""When are you free, Karl? Let's go fishing together."Usually, Karl would always smile and respond to them, but today he just nodded, never saying a word.He had just witnessed Anna's hanging, so in his eyes there was a crack in the once-perfect world-or this crack had begun to form since his departing from Graycastle, but he deliberately turned a blind eye.He used his busy work to numb himself, and to a certain extent,he even used the innocent smile of the students to mend this crack."U
Maximus read through the history of border town and he couldn't help but frown. There was nothing about the cave of gold mentioned in that book, only about ability users they called witches and devil's servants, and also about their King who wasn't of this realm, but none of these was of any help to him right now.As he sat down inside the library, he was pissed at everything that's been happening.“Its been three weeks and I haven't got any improvement on this mission. The only thing I know is that the Killer Wolves Elite and that blasted Vengeance god Black Heart are now in this world. No cave of gold, no Diamond and her soldiers, and certainly no way to leave this cursed place. I should never have taken this mission. What the hell was I thinking! That it would just be a walk in the park?”Maximus stood up and decided to go over to the mercenary guildhall. He figured out the only way he could get out of here was if he could pinpoint exactly where that gateway was. He finds it, he fi
Maximus sprinted towards the path leading to the gateway. There was no way he would let the Vengeance god lay waste to the good people of Triton City.'I have to return as fast as I can!'As Maximus got close to his destination, he sensed powerful auras around the place.'I should have known they would leave a few persons to guard the place, wouldn't want the people of Vantrea fleeing out of the town.' Maximus thought to himself as he stealthily walked towards the source of the aura.“You don't have to hide. I spotted you a long time ago.” a teenage voice said from behind Maximus. Immediately Maximus took a defensive stance before leaving his hiding spot. He walked forward with his two daggers in hand, ready for any surprises, which there wasn't.Maximus finally came face to face with the sources of the powerful auras he had felt a while ago. They belonged to seven persons in total, and one of them was a female. While five were standing in front of him, two were behind him. The moment
Gobsmacked! Dumbfounded! Jaw dropping!Erik and the rest of the Elites were all shocked by the display of power Maximus had just showcased.“I will only ask once, so you better answer me truthfully. Who are you?” Starlet asked with his brows furrowed. It's something if Maximus managed to beat a KWE soldier effortless, but to beat down six at once? And without getting a single scratch, there's something off about that.“Oh I never planned on lying.. you see I am...” Maximus was about to whip up a long winded story about his origin when he spotted the new person that came and stood beside Erik.“Hello Brother. Did you miss me?”It was Daniel Akkris Gayle, Maximus' half brother. He had this smug on his face that gave Maximus the chill.“Young master Erik, meet the person that the gods have chosen to fight against your father.. Meet Maximus Akkris Gayle, wielder of the Ozilla Gold System, and the chosen one of the six gods and deities.” Daniel gave a lengthy introduction of Maximus.“No m

“Let's dig deeper and know exactly how you came to become Ozilla Gold.” Erik said and he willed his ability to get more information.*“Where is that worm!” a blond youth with amazing features, cruel eyes and a scowl on his face stormed out from a room. He was none other than Maximus' half brother; Daniel Akkris Gayle.“Worm!!” he screamed, making the castle ground shake as his earth ability leaked out.“Your Highness!” an old man came up to the raging Daniel.“Where is that worm? I need my room clean.” Daniel said with the air of a spoilt child.“Prince Maximus is still at the academy. He's not home yet.” the old butler answered. His face was expressionless as if none of these mattered to him.“Don't call that bastard by the same title as me.” Daniel was about throwing a tantrum when the butler used his telekinetic ability to lift him up and left him hanging on air. He then squinted his eyes and whispered to the Prince with all seriousness.“You are being trained to be the next king,
Daniel did not feel any pity for his brother as Maximus slumped on the floor presumably dead. Amelia was scared at first seeing as Maximus was no longer moving nor breathing.“My love, he's dead.” she said to Daniel. Although her voice sounded scared, there was not an iota of pity nor remorse on her face for her boyfriend Maximus who laid on the floor lifeless.“Weak!” Daniel said as he spat on Maximus with contempt on his face.“He could not even take a single blow from me.” He continued.“What are we to do?” Amelia asked him.“Tell Father of course, besides, now you don't have to continue toying with this trash anymore.” Daniel said with a smile as he caressed the Amelia's cheek.“Yes, I really hated speaking and making him feel like I was interested in him. He was a fool to believe that someone as bastardized and talentless as him could ever catch my attention.” Amelia spoke with hatred laced in her voice.“He is dead now, no point talking about him. Come! Let's call Father and let
“Trashy system! Stupid gods and deities! What then makes you so powerful if you can't even clothe me!” Maximus kept on cursing at the system as he hid behind the trashcan, hoping not to get recognized by anyone, but sometimes Fate has another plan for our young protagonist.“Hey! Isn't that the bastard son of the Gayle family?” a black haired youth with big eyeballs voiced out to his friends, at this the group of four turned towards the direction he was pointing.“Well today seems to be my lucky day. It seems the gods favor me so much that they desire to see that weakling bow at my feet. I, Ronald Orlan, shall grant the gods their desire.” this youth was none other than the scion of the Orlan family, the peak rei-ranker wind ability user who once caused trouble for Maximus at the Silverado Academy.“Look how dirty he is, I bet you ten gold dramus his family threw him out.” Ronald said, then a mischievous smile played on his face.“Jacquel, use your telekinesis to lift him.” Ronald ord
