“..Wh.. what.. what is this?” he could feel pain raking his body as he coughed again. He tried to sit up but fell back on a heap of trash. He raised his hand and touched around him, picking up what his hand found, he jumped up in shock.
“Goddamn! They threw me into the public trash, did Daniel think I was dead?” he checked his body and was shocked to find out he was dressed in dirty rags and looked like a pig.“Fucken hell!” he cursed again, but few seconds later he grabbed his head as he felt a great headache.“It hurts! Damn my head hurts! What did I do!?” he gritted his teeth to endure the pain, then it was no more, the pain suddenly vanished.«Ozilla Gold System activated»Maximus heard a metallic high pitch female voice.“Who said that?” he became fearful. But the voice kept mute, he thought more and realize he didn't hear this voice with his ears, rather it was as if it communicated via telepathy.«Host's condition is critical, bypassing host's authorization, reconstruction of body initialized»Just as the voice said, he felt a cool sensation wash over him, he felt no pain but rather drowsy, he couldn't stop himself as his eyelids closed and darkness welcomed him. *«Welcome host. I am the godly Ozilla Gold system. I shall assist you in your quests»The voice woke him up. As he tried to wrap his head around what was going on, although it seemed stupid that he was knocked out by his brother in just one blow, yet what blew his mind was his surrounding and the fact that he was just outside the company's building, forget about embarrassment, he will become a laughing stock for as long as he lives.“HOLY SHIT!!!”«Heartbeat increasing, host is advised to calm down or risk going into cardiac arrest.»WTF!!!“Hold on, first tell me exactly who you are.” Maximus asked the system in his brain.«Not who, but what. I am the combined power of six deities and gods. I have been chosen from the names and titles of these powerful deities and gods.O = Ophelus (golden dragon of wealth)Z = Zion (Impenetrable fortress of Israeli)I = Ire (god of anger, wrath, resentment and fury)L = Lykoi (The mythical werecat of gold and fortune worshipped by Egyptians)L = Loki (Norse mythology: The god of mischief and trickery)A = Arthur (The warrior king who defied all common sense and rose to the top, surpassing even gods).OZILLA.»The explanation from the system made Maximus think back to the throne room where those six beings sat and decided his future. If what those six beings said is true, that means the system in his brain will make him more powerful than any human on earth.“So you are the one that will grant me the power to rival all humans.”«No, I will only assist you in the quests ahead, the more you prove yourself competent, the greater power you shall receive.» the system replied. Sure, Maximus expected something like that, besides there's no such thing as free lunch in this world.“How can I prove myself then?” he asked.«By completing the tasks given to you by me.» the system replied.“Okay, no that's expected. But can you help me with clothes? If you haven't noticed, I am kinda naked.” he said to the system, testing it's powers.«Ten gold coins for adventurers garb. Thirty gold coins for warrior's armor and fifty gold coins for Princeling regalia. Do you still wish me to dress you?» the system replied in a teasing tone.“WTF! THAT'S DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A COPPER COIN TALK MORE OF A TEN GOLD COIN.” Maximus was almost screaming in frustration.«System knows of the host's poverty and lack of coins. Host can complete tasks to earn system coins.» the system replied.“Fine then, give me the first task.” Maximus said in defeat but with the hope of earning something great.«As you wish. Your first task is this:Task: Get full clothes.Reward: 1 system gold coin.» the system's response ticked Maximus off.“What the hell is wrong with you. If I knew where to find clothes will I be asking for your help?” he was now so frustrated and annoyed.«System was not the one who prompted the host to attack an opponent while being completely defenseless. Time limit for task is three hours. Your time starts now. System will reactivate once host has completed the task. Good luck.»Maximus was so shocked that he couldn't move for a few seconds, then he bellowed.“WHAT KIND OF TRASHY SYSTEM IS THIS!?”“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
In a dark alley, a battered trashcan laid bare as its contents were littered on the tarred floor, four unconscious youths laid on the floor as well, whereas the star attraction was the black haired youth with blue eyes who kept grinning for no good reason.«Host can copy up to ten different abilities from different entities and humans. Host must have physical body contact with the set person, then utter the command to copy, host must stay within reach of the set person for ten seconds to completely copy the ability.»The system's response seemed to be the greatest news Maximus has ever heard since his birth.“Ten different abilities! that will make me once in a zillion years prodigy. I will surpass even Daniel.” but then he stopped smiling and thought more on this.“No, that will create problems for me. I have to lay low and act normal as I have been, while I secretly build myself.” with half a plan in mind, Maximus decides to return to the company building, but first he still needed
Maximus could be seen seated inside an enclosed glass cubicle typing furiously on the keyboard of a desktop computer. He was so concentrated on whatever he was doing that he became oblivious of those around him.“Why can't I break down the firewall of the Orlan family security system?” Maximus queried. He had made the decision of robbing a first tier family just as the system tasked him to do, and he had chosen the Orlan family clan, why? Because Ronald Orlan has been a very big bully and jerk, and now Maximus wants revenge, and guess what? He's getting it legally... well by the system means that it.“This is one of the times I wish I am a tech ability user or I have one at my disposal. fuck this crazy shit!” he cursed again. He's actually been trying to hack into the Orlan family clan's security system for almost four hours with zero luck.“Alright, inputting the bypass authorization code here, here and here. I hope this works this time.” Maximus prayed to whatever god was out there
The next day at work, a lot of the employees were gathering in groups and speaking in hushed tones, their topic was none other than the break-in at the Orlan family clan mansion. Many stipulated it was a saint-rank invisibility ability user while others said it was a grandmaster illusion ability user, but the main perpetrator was grinning at himself inside an enclosed glass cubicle.“System, add fourteen points to strength, nine points to agility, eleven points to stamina, and five points to perception.” Maximus said.«That will be thirty nine system coins.» replied the system.“Take it. Now I am truly comparable to a beginner Master-rank fighter.” he smiled at himself.“If I face against Daniel now with my current stats I can beat him to pulp, well, only problem will be that fire ability of his.” Maximus thought aloud.“Now I have the resources I need to start a company, I have to do it far from here. It seems I will have to visit the library again. In the meantime, System show me my
[TWO WEEKS LATER]Triton City.A BMW X7 can be seen stopping in front of a five star hotel, the driver steps out and opens the back door, out came the most gorgeous man ever seen; dark blond curly hair, immaculate shaped oval face with a square jaw, ruby lips, gold colored eyes and well toned tall body, his surpassed all sexy models in all of Triton City. Dressed in a custom made golden suit, he strolled into the hotel, heading straight for the receptionist.“Hello Miss.” the man said with a smile that can make a thousand girls faint.“He..hello..sir” the female receptionist struggled to speak as she was mesmerized by the gorgeousness of the man in front of her.“Is the suite free? I will need it.” he said, his smile still on his face.“Of course Sir. Your name Sir?” she replied with her heads down so as not to lose focus over the handsome face of this man.“Ozilla, Ozilla Gold is my name.” he replied still smiling.“Thank you Sir. Here's your key Sir.” she said handing him a set of k
The next day Maximus thought it's best to establish himself as soon as possible, thus he left the hotel and decided to return to the bank, his aim was to enquire about the possibility of buying a company building and a house. He didn't want to go to any agency as that will cost him more.Maximus called his driver after he had his shower and breakfast, then he picked up a new gold suit, wore his pair of gold shoes and then went to elevator which took him downstairs. His driver was waiting for him at the reception lobby.“Good morning Mister Gold Sir, where do you wish to go to today?” the driver, a bald haired middle-aged man, he was of common blood with no affinity to any element whatsoever.“Morning George, take me to the bank. It's important.” Maximus said with the air of a rich businessman.“Right this way sir.” the driver gestured to the car outside.Maximus walked to the gold colored BMW X7, he had specifically money to get it painted yesterday, for now this will do, he plans to
Maximus was now headed to an Estate management agency. Esther had told him that if he wanted to buy a house, they were his best bet. The gold colored BMW X7 cruised through the city of Triton and entered the Gonzalez district, this district was owned by the Gonzalez family clan, they were known to be formidable and unrestrained, one could think of them as a Mexican gangster family.“Be careful, the Gonzalez family controls this district, they are known to be shrewd and sometimes they tend to extort money from rising rich men.” Esther advised.“Don't worry. The agency is just a few more blocks from here, right?” Maximus asked while swerving from the disturbing topic.“Yes Sir.” she replied but she still wasn't at ease. Maximus could feel her emotions bubbling, he gazed at her hands and saw they were balled up into fists.“What tragedy did you suffer in this area?” Maximus asked her.“Huh!?” Esther stuttered taken aback by Maximus' question.“Something happened to you here, I'm I right?
Maximus and Esther drove towards the Nobles District. This all houses and villas in this district was owned only by the truly wealthy, and security in this district was tight. The gold colored BMW X7 stopped in front of a well fenced villa standing on a six acres of land with a fountain in the middle, its floor was covered with well trimmed carpet grass.“Truly worth the two hundred million trium I paid.” Maximus commented with a smile on his face.“Come Esther, let us take a tour at our new home.” Maximus said as he walked towards the entrance while Esther stood rooted at the spot as Maximus' words shocked her.“Our.. our!?” Esther stuttered. Maximus turned around and faced her with a smile on his face.“Did you think I am heartless as to take your family's company and then leave you to fend for yourself?” Maximus asked her.“But you paid for it fair and square.” Esther clarified.“Come on in with me Esther, let's go check our new home.” Maximus repeated and went in as if he did not
"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The Yakuza's Ryu
Luca's first day as a security guard at Oceania Corporation was off to a mundane start. He had spent the morning patrolling the premises, familiarizing himself with the layout, and introducing himself to the staff. But just as he was starting to feel like it was going to be a slow day, a sleek Lamborghini Aventador pulled up in front of the building.Luca's eyes widened as a stunning young woman stepped out of the car. Sophia Romulus, the daughter of Antonio Romulus, the owner of Oceania Corporation, and the leader of the Demigods mafia group, was even more beautiful than Luca had imagined. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.As Sophia stepped out of her car, another luxury sports car pulled up beside her. A young man, Angelo, emerged from the car, his eyes fixed intently on Sophia. Luca noticed the way Angelo's gaze lingered on Sophia, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease."Good mornin
Luca's eyes widened as the wolf transformed into a man. Maximus Perch, the Demon Wolf, stood before him, his muscular physique imposing. Despite his nakedness, he exuded a confident air, unfazed by his state of undress."Greetings, Luca," Maximus said, his deep voice commanding. "I am the alpha of the Wardogs pack. And you, human, are in our debt."Luca's mind raced, still reeling from the sudden transformation. "W-what do you mean?"Maximus smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You were destined for a fate worse than death. But I intervened. You owe me, Luca."Luca swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I-I don't understand."Maximus took a step closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I can offer you a gift, Luca. A chance to become one of us. A werewolf. Join my pack, and you'll have the power to exact your revenge on those who wronged you."Luca's thoughts raced, his desire for revenge against Marco and the mafia burning bright. He had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
[Triton City. Present Day]Luca crouched beside his crew, his eyes fixed on the bank's security cameras. "Alright, let's move in. Vinnie, take out the cameras. Sal, get the vault open. I'll handle the alarms."Vinnie nodded and pulled out a small device, aiming it at the cameras. "Cameras are down."Sal cracked his knuckles. "Vault's open. Let's get the loot!"Luca disabled the security system, his fingers flying across the keypad. "Alarms are off. Move, move, move!"The team burst into the bank, their footsteps echoing off the marble floor. Luca swiftly cleared the counters, stuffing cash into a duffel bag. Vinnie and Sal worked in tandem, loading valuables into another bag.Just as they were about to leave, sirens wailed outside. "Police! Drop your weapons and come out with your hands up!" an officer shouted through a megaphone.Luca's heart raced as the team exchanged panicked glances. Marco, their leader, made a split-second decision. "Leave Luca, he's the newest, they won't suspe
Black Heart stood on the rooftop, his eyes fixed on the city below. He knew that Kenju was still out there, plotting his next move. He needed someone with the skills and power to track him down.He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Erik, my son. I need your help."The voice on the other end was deep and menacing. "Father, what's the mission?""Kenju, the man who escaped us earlier. I need you to track him down and bring him to me."Erik's laughter was cold and mirthless. "I'm on it, Father. But I'll need something in return."Black Heart smiled, knowing his son's thirst for power. "The more you kill, the stronger you'll become. And I'll make sure you're rewarded."Erik's voice was eager. "I'll leave now. And Father?""Yes?""Tell me about this Kenju. What makes him so special?"Black Heart's eyes narrowed. "He's a powerful foe, Erik. But with your skills and my powers, I know we can take him down."The line went dead, and Black Heart knew that Erik was on his way. He gazed ou
[Kera Kingdom. Few months ago]The silence lasted for a full minute before Maximus' made his decision. He was dressed in purple and gold robe with a golden flower crown on his head. He slowly stood up from the throne, took of the golden crown and placed it on the throne, then turned around to face Maximus who was still in his draconian form.“Every father desires for his son to surpass him, every King desires for his heir to be more powerful and unyielding than even himself. Today you have made me proud, you have transformed from a greenhorn to a powerhouse in less than two months, I can not ask for a better successor than you my son. I am sorry for all the pain you have passed through.” Maximus' father said in a gentle and soothing voice that made Maximus' heart falter for a bit, he held back the tears that threatened to spill forth.“All I ever wanted was for you to treat me as your son and be proud of me.” Maximus said and then hardened his heart once more.“It is too late for apol
[ZIZOU EMPIRE. FIFTY MILES FROM TRITON CITY]While the Zizou Empire's military air-forces arranged aircrafts towards the Gold city. Their aim was to welcome an infamous god of war.Zizou Empire was an empire known for its military strength. Their weapons were always the state of the art, and their training exercises were so excruciating that the death counts during training was always higher than that of an actual war. Only those with nerves of steel and a flair for danger survived these training exercises. This made Zizou Empire the number one Empire in the continent. And the capital of this amazing empire was; Gold city.Far away from Gold city, in the city of Marula which was about fifteen klicks from Gold city, an angry female voice could be heard coming from a small house. A couple lived here and day to day, the wife will always make a few snide remarks at the man.. today seemed a bit different, as it seemed that instead of the casual remarks, she was going all out.“Clyde!

[BEYOND THE PORTAL GATES]Mount Olympus, Home of Greek gods.Archers lined up along the rampart the fortress as they held their weapons firmly in their hands. The armies of the Olympian gods known to all as 'Legion', readied themselves for the carnage about to begin.They were the first line of defence against the Titans of the underworld, so they plan to whittle the Titan's numbers down as much as they could to ensure that Hades would feel the pain of losing his armies.Ares the god of war assured all of them that the fortress will hold strong even if their opponents were abominable creatures created from Hades' blood.Their confidence also stemmed from that fact that the fortress of Olympus has never fallen.“Do not show any mercy! For your enemies will show you none.” Ares' voice boomed across the entire fortress, as he stood on top of a tower.“Kill as many as you can, for the more you kill, the more they will feel how futile their endeavors are.”““YES!!””Ares raised his sword h
“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!
