The sky became so dark and cloudy while golden lightning flashed across the sky. Thunder rumbled and the sound was deafening.The terrorists were scared out of their wits, they ran around like headless chickens. It's normal to see white lightning during a thunderstorm, but golden lightning? An anomaly.“The military sent a Saint-rank powerhouse!”“Find him and eliminate him quickly before he blasts us all to smithereens!”“I can't see anything! the wind is too strong!”“Find Him!”They all kept on screaming at each other while trying their best to fend off the powerful whirlwind Maximus had conjured. Just as they were about to surrender to Fate, one of them spotted someone dressed in rags, standing in the heart of the whirlwind while golden lightning raged across his body.“There! I see him!” someone screamed.Sigh!“It seems I have been found out! Yet I was never trying to hide in the first place.” Maximus' voice sounded all over the battlefield. Just as his voice faded, the whirlwi
[ALTERNATE EARTH]“Negative. The boy doesn't have any powers.”Sigh!Several sighs filled the room as the people with serious expression plastered on their faces shook their heads in disappointment.“He is already fifteen years old now, and if he still has not developed any atom of affinity with any element, then I am sure we all know there's no chance it will ever happen as he has passed the age of awakening. I honestly had great expectations from this subject.” one of them said.Sigh!“Such a shame! The kid whose father was the strongest warlock and mother— the strongest sorcerer, happened to be useless? He's not even a variant, let alone being as great as his parents?” A middle aged man in the group spoke we he looked at the boy lying on the patient table.There was an expression on the man's face that depicted nothing but disappointment.“It looks like we wasted our time with him for nothing. How pathetic!”Three scientists were talking amongst themselves outside the glass room, w
Although Doctor Roach didn't act close to Shawn in the last five years, he didn't openly despise him either as there was a possibility of Shawn developing his powers. His actions towards Shawn seemed only professional till now. He was neither too friendly nor too harsh but only kept an average attitude towards the child. But now Shawn was already fifteen years old and a failure, there was no reason for him to act cordial anymore.Shawn's face paled as he heard the answer from Doctor Roach. It felt like his world came crashing down, and every word of that sentence hit his heart like a bullet.Tears lurked, making his eyes glittery, his vision blurred as he tried to fight back the heartbreak and emotional pain he was feeling. He gritted his teeth and refused to cry out his pain.“But you can still help humanity. So you're not completely useless. Come with us.” Doctor Roach further said in a villainous tone as his eyes shone like a vulture under thick gold-framed glasses.Shawn stood up
Maximus had just stepped into his spacious room when he received his phone screen lit up. He glanced at it and saw it was a message from Esther.'Mister Gold. Where have you been, the Emperor seeks an audience with you.'His eyes were round as saucers when he read the message. He had been unconscious for two days and two nights straight due to the evolution of the system, and it seems his feat at the terrorist camp had earned him an audience with the Emperor.. perhaps a reward awaits? Of course, there has to be a reward. Maximus smiled and immediately rushed to the shower. He didn't bother taking breakfast, rather he was worried about the excuse to give for his sudden disappearance. He could not think of anything, so he called Esther.“Hello darling Esther. How are you doing today?” Maximus said with a low romantic voice as soon she picked the call.“Hello Mister Gold, why are you being so lovey dovey this morning?” she replied with a giggle. Maximus could very well imagine she was ce
[ALTERNATE EARTH]Shawn continued walking for over seven hours before he saw the nearest town. His stomach had started growling long ago; now that a town was here, it growled more. It was as if it was telling Shawn to eat.He entered the town. There was still the lab's patient robe on his body which looked even dirtier as if he was a beggar. He tried to look for a place to get something to eat.Seeing a small restaurant after searching for a long time, he decided to enter the place.As soon as he stepped inside the restaurant, he attracted the attention of the waiter.“What do you need, boy? This is not a place for kids to enter. If you don't have money, then scram out of here!” the waiter of the small restaurant told Shawn as he walked towards him.Due to malnutrition and lack of sleep, Shawn looked so scrawny and a bit small, unlike kids his age.“I need food.” Shawn said to the waiter, but the guy refused even to listen.“Can a beggar like you even have money? Scram out before I cu
The ash fell on the ground and covered the floor. If the people here hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the ash lying in Shawn's feet happened to be a young living man until a minute ago.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Ignoring the people, Shawn gazed at his hand as he muttered“Strenghtening?”He could feel that his body had more strength than he had before he died. Not only was he able to toss the waiter like he was a toy, but what happened after that also proved the same thing. He had realized that his strength was much higher than the man since he couldn't even feel any resistance from the man.He hasn't test it before, but now he realized something. This power of strength, wasn't it something his father had before? If so, why wasn't it recorded in his Stats.“Azazel! My stats window.”«Ding!DEMONIC SYSTEMName: Shawn Zach KalebAge: fifteen Race: InhumanStatus: WarlockHavoc points: 2Strength: 250 Speed: 200 Control: 200 Skill: Immortality,
The ones who hadn't noticed his wounds heal also saw him stand up suddenly. Their laughter got replaced with dread.“Wh.. what? Can he even heal from that? It's impossible!” someone spoke on behalf of everyone as the table turned yet again.Once again, the fear chained the hearts of people as they realized that the man they faced wasn't a normal Variant, but something else entirely. They had never heard of a Variant who could heal himself.Just what was he exactly? How could he heal himself. Was he even a human?Questions piled up inside their minds, making their thoughts go haywire, but they couldn't find any possible answers to satisfy their piqued curiosity.Shawn looked at the man who had fired the shot and began striding towards him.Big Joe was stunned to see Shawn alive and moving as if nothing happened. Before that, he didn't feel scared, but now? He wasn't only feeling scared, he was feeling a chill run down his spine as his feet froze in place. But he was too stubborn to giv
Everyone was dead except one person. Only a single person remained in the restaurant, which was filled with dead bodies and ashes. The slaughter Shawn had committed was frightening, but he didn't feel even the slightest remorse. He had just killed a lot of people but he didn't regret it in the least. In fact, he didn't feel anything. His heart was utterly emotionless now, and his face showed the same. He looked exactly how the Vengeance god Black Heart looks when he kills; Ruthless and Domineering.His blank stare scanned the place and stopped right at the last person who remained.“Stop! I have already called the Anti-Rogue Variant! The ARV will be here to catch you soon; you should escape while you still can. If you waste time on killing me, you won't be able to escape in time!” the man spoke, trembling, but his warning didn't stop Shawn.Seeing Shawn not stopping, the man became even more nervous. He couldn't find anything else that could protect him, but he thought of giving it on
