The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 18 - Whispers of Conflict
Chapter 18 - Whispers of ConflictA voice, sharp and laced with suspicion, cut through the stillness."Who are you, and what are you doing here?"Max turned his head toward the source of the voice.Three rows down, a woman with sleek black hair strode toward him. She wore a fitted pink dress that accentuated her rigid posture, a monocle perched over her right eye. Her sharp features gave her a stern, no-nonsense appearance, and she moved with the air of someone accustomed to authority.She looked to be in her mid-twenties, only slightly older than Miss Raelyn, though without the same effortless beauty. Unlike the esteemed instructor, this woman bore an air of calculated arrogance.Max instantly recognized her. Librarian Delora, the overseer of Library D—the most restricted section of the institution.Her sharp eyes narrowed in scrutiny. "I don’t recall ever seeing you here before. Who authorized your presence?"There was no recognition in her gaze, which worked in his favor. It was no
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 19: Mental Fortitude
Chapter 19: Mental FortitudeThe faint glow of the desk lamp flickered against the worn pages as Max turned to the final passage of the last book. His tired eyes skimmed the carefully inked words, absorbing each line with unrelenting focus. The silence of his small room was broken only by the soft rustle of paper as he flipped to the back cover, finally finishing the last of the volumes stacked beside him.A deep breath filled his lungs before he exhaled slowly. It was over.The weight of knowledge pressed down on him, leaving him both enlightened and unsettled. The truth—layered, fragmented, and buried beneath countless omissions—painted a picture far different from what he had been taught.Max leaned back against the creaking chair, his fingers tightening around the edges of the book."This has been an eye-opener… The general public hardly knows anything about the past. Is this the government's way of keeping information from people?"His lips pressed into a thin line as his mind re
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 20: Facing the Juniors
Chapter 20: Facing the JuniorsA thick mist curled from Max's fingers, dissipating into the cool afternoon air as the flames on the ball died down. He stood motionless, his expression unreadable as he stared at the group of students approaching him.They advanced across the pitch in a loose formation, seven figures moving as one. Four of them wore yellow athletic vests over white shorts, while the other three were clad in green vests with blue shorts. Their builds were imposing—each of them muscular and broad, like bodybuilders sculpted from stone.One of them, a student with long blue hair tied back, took the lead. His eyes flickered with surprise as he recognized the person who had caught the ball."It's you," he muttered, narrowing his gaze.Max remained silent, simply watching them approach with a raised brow."Return our ball," the blue-haired student demanded, his tone tinged with hostility.Max turned the ball in his hands, inspecting it as if it were a fascinating relic rather
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 21: The Challenge
Chapter 21: The Challenge“I’ll deal with him myself.”A sharp voice rang out from the left, cutting through the murmurs of the gathered students.All heads turned as the crowd instinctively parted, making way for the approaching figure.Max, who had been walking away without sparing the fallen attackers another glance, recognized the voice almost instantly. His steps slowed as he turned slightly, watching as a familiar, broad-shouldered figure strode through the parting mass of spectators.The student pushing forward had dark brown skin, a powerful build, and a look of pure determination set into his hardened features.The murmurs in the crowd swelled as people recognized him."Oh my god, isn't that Jace Holloway?""Yeah, it's him!""But where are Roy Madsen and Theo Vance? They’re always together."The students exchanged glances, confusion mixing with intrigue as Jace Holloway marched straight toward Max.Max’s gaze remained impassive as he turned away.“Oh, it’s you,” he said, his
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 22: The Titan Industries Construction Site
Chapter 22: The Titan Industries Construction SiteMax strode through the academy’s bustling pathways, his steps purposeful yet unhurried. The late afternoon sun stretched his shadow across the stone pavement, painting long streaks of gold over the academy grounds.His hands gripped the cleaning equipment tightly, the weight familiar against his palms. Today’s assigned locations numbered seven in total—each one another reminder of his current predicament. He had long since come to terms with his punishment, yet a simmering determination burned beneath his calm exterior. This was temporary.A step toward something greater.For now, he moved through the motions.One of his tasks included returning the history books he had borrowed under Miss Raelyn’s name. He planned to check whether other volumes were available, particularly those covering restricted periods of history. The deeper he delved into the academy’s archives, the more apparent it became—something wasn’t right.Fragments of in
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 23 - Xeon Enhancement Pills
Chapter 23 - Xeon Enhancement PillsJace Holloway’s eyes widened in shock, as did Roy Madsen’s, the moment Theo Vance tore himself from their grasp and bolted straight toward Max Vale."You’re dead!" Theo bellowed, his face twisted in rage as he lunged forward, his right arm drawing back.A bright glow ignited around his fingertips, forming a small blade of condensed energy.The instant he closed in on Max, he thrust his hand forward, aiming straight for Max’s throat.Unlike before—where he had been on the defensive, dodging and evading—this time, Max had no intention of retreating.If anything, he welcomed the opportunity.The moment Theo’s strike came within range, Max’s hand shot forward with blinding speed.Theo barely registered the movement—just a blur before something heavy connected with his face.PAH!A sharp, resounding slap shattered the air.The force behind it was monstrous.Theo’s head snapped to the side, his body lifted clean off the ground as he spiraled through the a
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 24 - Death Crisis
Chapter 24 - Death CrisisMax barely evaded the strike.Jace's palm sliced through the air, missing his face by the width of a hair. The sheer force of the swing sent a sharp gust past his cheek, a reminder of how close he had been to getting hit. But before Max could completely stabilize his posture, Theo had already shifted his weight, his movements swift and unrelenting.A knee came rushing toward Max’s stomach—fast, precise, and impossible to avoid.In an instant, Max braced himself, crossing both forearms in front of his torso in a desperate attempt to block.Bang!The impact exploded through his arms like a shockwave, the sheer force launching him off his feet. His body twisted midair, flipping backward as he hurtled across the rooftop. A sharp crack resonated through his bones—a sickening pain jolted through his wrists.[Regeneration has been activated]Even as the system’s notification flickered in his vision, the agony still lingered. His regeneration worked fast, but the ini
The Rise of Max bladeheart Chapter 25 - Xeon Awakening
Chapter 25 - Xeon Awakening[Does the Host wish to seize this power? - Yes/No]Max Vale’s breath hitched as the familiar system notification flashed before his eyes.His gaze drifted down to the lifeless body sprawled across the cold concrete, a pool of crimson soaking the tattered remains of Jace Holloway’s uniform. The weight of the moment pressed on him like an iron vice. He had seen this notification before, but never like this—never when it was actually possible.His fingers twitched, still coated in the cooling blood of the one who had tried to end his life.What triggered it this time?He had made contact with Jace’s blood earlier during the fight, yet the system had remained silent. But now, something was different.His eyes narrowed as he crouched beside the corpse, scanning every inch with sharp scrutiny. His attention was drawn to Jace’s exposed neck, where the deep gash from their battle still trickled with fresh blood.The color—there was something wrong about it.Instead

The creature recoiled, its head jerking back as a screech filled the air. Blood, thick and dark with a purplish hue, sprayed from its wounds, staining the surrounding ground.But Max wasn’t finished.His left arm swung around with practiced ferocity, aiming for another brutal follow-up.Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!Max’s claws raked across the serpentine beast’s neck, leaving deep, jagged marks that bled heavily. Each cut he delivered exposed the creature’s innards, the cruelly exposed muscle and bone now visible through the gashes. The air around them was heavy with the stench of blood and the metallic scent of battle.Max’s claws continued their relentless assault, the force of each strike causing the serpentine mi
Chapter 62: The Power of the Bloodwolf
Chapter 62: The Power of the Bloodwolf Max sprinted across the body of the massive serpentine beast, his hands engulfed in a radiant white glow. The ground trembled beneath its writhing form as it attempted to shake him off. With a sudden lurch, the serpent whipped its enormous tail upward, seeking to throw Max off balance. But instead of being sent sprawling, he used the momentum to propel himself forward, launching through the air with the grace of a seasoned fighter. His body arced high above, and as he descended, his glowing fist was poised for impact. Bang! His strike landed squarely atop the creature’s head, sending a tremor rippling through its massive form. The impact shook the beast slightly, but unlike before, Max wasn’t thrown back as violently. The radiant white light surrounding his hand had absorbed most of the recoil. Landing with a grunt, Max steadied himself, his breath measure

Chapter 61: The Savarinia Serpent Xeon BeastBoom!A catastrophic explosion erupted, unleashing an unstoppable shockwave of raw energy that ripped through the surroundings. The sheer force of the blast shattered everything in its wake, obliterating reinforced structures and vaporizing any remnants of order.The supposedly self-repairing glass walls crumbled into countless fragments before the energy could even physically reach them, their integrity overwhelmed by the sheer power tearing through the space. For several more moments, the energy raged, crackling with chaotic intensity before the devastation finally settled into eerie stillness.As the thick mist gradually dispersed, the extent of the destruction became gruesomely clear. What once stood as an advanced facility had been reduced to nothing more than a ruin of broken technology and lifeless wreckage.Equipment lay in twisted heaps, their once-precise machinery now melted beyond r

Chapter 60: Laboratory FacilityMax sprinted through the sparse forest, his movements swift and silent. The cool night air brushed against his face as he activated his enhanced speed, dashing between the towering trees with barely a sound. After a few powerful strides, he came to a halt before an ancient tree that stood at least twelve meters tall, its rough bark illuminated faintly by the moonlight.Crouching slightly, he gathered power in his legs before launching himself into the air.Thoom!His body ascended five meters instantly, and he reached out, his fingers sinking deeply into the tree’s rough bark. With practiced ease, he pulled himself up, maneuvering past branches and thick foliage until he reached the top. Perched on a sturdy limb, Max let his gaze sweep across the vast landscape, his sharp eyes catching even the smallest movement below.His perception had improved significantly over the past few days, stretch

Chapter 59: Channelling Beast Transformation xeonAs Max made his way toward his apartment, he could feel the weight of countless eyes on him. Whispers rippled through the crowd, their voices laced with curiosity and admiration.“Welcome back, Max!”“Good afternoon! How was school today?”“Hey, Max!”A few teenage girls standing nearby giggled as they greeted him, one of them even winking playfully. Max offered nothing more than a brief nod, his expression unreadable as he climbed the stairs leading to his apartment.It wasn’t unusual for him to receive a warm welcome whenever he returned, but today’s greetings carried a different energy. The sheer enthusiasm in their voices made it clear—they knew. The entire neighborhood must have already heard the news.He had been appointed as the new Observer.As he stepped into the corridor, his sharp gaze landed on a familiar figure standing in front of his apar

Chapter 58: Raelyn’s Suspicion“There will be a three-day interschool exchange event, hosted in Atrihea City’s Grandridge High, scheduled to begin precisely one month from today!”“The Xenith Academy has been formally invited to participate!”“Class Three students will represent us for this occasion!”Principal Wren’s voice thundered through the echoing halls of the auditorium, carried clearly by the built-in speaker systems that lined the walls. His tone was one of ceremonial pride, but the murmurs that followed came from something deeper—excitement, ambition, and barely contained adrenaline.Among the sea of students seated in neat rows, Max Vale leaned back into his chair near the rear of the hall. His lips curled into a subtle smile, one that didn't quite reach his eyes.So it’s finally here… The opportunity I’ve been waiting for—an excuse to cross the border without drawing attention.The auditorium buzzed with ener
Chapter 57: School Announcement
Chapter 57: School AnnouncementSince the downfall of Old Man Daki, the neighborhood had been left vulnerable. None of the Xeon Users in the area had achieved Zeta Rank—except for one individual. But even then, they weren’t a combat-oriented Xeon User, leaving the district largely defenseless against the sporadic incursions of lower-tier Mixedbreeds.Attacks had always been a part of life here, occurring about once a month in the past. However, before Old Man Daki's passing, the frequency had begun to increase, shifting from a monthly nuisance to a near-weekly crisis. It was thanks to his efforts that complete chaos had been kept at bay, but with his death, the situation spiraled out of control.There were fifty-seven buildings in the area that he had once protected. Without him, it was only a matter of time before disaster struck. One fateful night, a Mixedbreed infiltrated one of the apartment complexes, slaughtering an entire family before hel
Chapter 56: A New Responsibility
Chapter 56: A New ResponsibilityMax stood at the doorway of the Vance residence, his sharp eyes scanning the familiar entryway before turning his attention to the young woman before him. Yura Vance, dressed in casual home attire, tilted her head slightly in curiosity at his unexpected arrival."I'm here to see your father. Is he in?" Max asked, his tone neutral yet firm.Yura blinked, momentarily caught off guard, before nodding. "Um, my father? Yes, he's inside."She stepped aside, allowing him entrance. Just as he took a step forward, a deep, commanding voice echoed from within the apartment."Come in, Max."Recognizing Theo Vance’s voice, Max proceeded inside, his boots making barely a sound against the polished wooden floor. The apartment had a warm yet modest aesthetic, its interior illuminated by soft evening light filtering through the window blinds.Theo Vance sat on a navy-blue sofa to Max’s right, his broad fr
Chapter 55: Surprised Appearance
Chapter 55: Surprised Appearance The sharp, feminine voice cut through the air like a blade, carrying such authority that the man gripping Max’s shoulder stiffened involuntarily. A tremor ran down his spine, his fingers momentarily loosening their hold before he forcefully steadied himself.That voice… it couldn’t be—With a slow, almost reluctant motion, Master Jk turned, his breath catching in his throat as he laid eyes on the person who had spoken. His pulse pounded wildly. The composed expression he had worn mere moments ago shattered in an instant.A woman stood before him, her presence undeniable. Long strands of sleek, silver-grey hair cascaded down her back, catching the light as she moved with an effortless grace. She was clad in a short, form-fitting green dress, accentuated by a brown coat draped elegantly over her shoulders. Despite her slender frame, an aura of sheer dominance radiated from her every step.“Young M
