"G-Gustav wins the duel!"Supervisor Bola’s voice trembled as he made the announcement, his throat suddenly dry. Yet, even with the official verdict, the gathered crowd remained frozen, their gazes locked on the crumpled figure lying motionless on the stage.Yura Kaelis—once proud, untouchable, the self-proclaimed elite—was now unrecognizable. Her swollen face bore grotesque shades of purple and red, her once-delicate features marred by torn skin and bruises so deep they seemed permanent. Blood crusted along her cheekbones, her lips split and trembling. The girl who had always commanded attention with her beauty now resembled a shattered doll.A sickening silence lingered in the air. Even those who had supported her could not deny the brutality of the scene before them.Meanwhile, Gustav stood unbothered, methodically wiping the blood from his hands as he descended from the stage.

THE XEON SYSTEMC1 - A Fading LightThe roar of the coliseum was deafening. It rolled through the vast stadium like a crashing wave, voices merging into an unrelenting storm of anticipation and excitement.Thousands of spectators filled the towering stands, their cheers echoing into the night sky. The air trembled with the weight of their voices, chanting a name with fervor."Bladeheart! Bladeheart! Bladeheart!"Towering above the battlefield, massive holographic screens displayed the scene in crisp, high-definition detail. Every crack in the shattered ground, every plume of dust, every flicker of light from the combatants’ abilities—it was all magnified for the audience.The battlefield itself was in ruins. Cracks ran deep through the stone, jagged and uneven. The metallic barriers that had once stood firm were now twisted and crumpled like discarded scrap. Smoke curled lazily from craters scorched black.Amidst the wreckage, five figures stood together, their bodies tense.They were

Chapter 2: The Unknown Figure "Huh...? I'm... alive?" Max opened his eyes to see the tall trees moving above him while his vision remained blurry. His body experienced a strange sensation of weightlessness, reminding him of waking up from a deep sleep. The forest canopy allowed sunlight to pass through its dense structure, creating a patterned light show on his face. The cold wind touched his skin as he struggled to stand up from the wet forest ground. His hands sank into the earth, feeling the coarse surface of dead leaves and tiny twigs beneath his fingers. His uniform was covered in layers of dirt, yet his body remained unharmed. No pain. No wounds. Not even a single scratch. Max stared in disbelief while checking his entire body, patting his arms, chest, and legs. It didn’t make sense. He had plummeted from a thousand-foot cliff. His bones should have been completely destroyed. His body should have been nothing more than a lifeless mass on the ground. Yet, here he was. "This

Chapter 3: The Awakening Interface A cool breeze drifted through the thick forest area outside BB City as tall trees created extended shadows across wet ground. A mysterious energy disturbance remained present in the air, although it was invisible to everyone except those who could sense it. The man in a navy-blue coat stood motionless in the middle of the chaos while his intense stare focused on the massive rock structure in front of him. His stance displayed authority through his hands clasped behind his back, while his presence conveyed the power of someone who had experienced leadership roles. A researcher with spectacles approached him, wearing a sterilized white jumpsuit with caution. The man in the navy-blue coat maintained his forward direction without turning his body, yet his commanding presence required instant attention. The researcher began his report, stating that their scans showed no anomalous energy remaining. The massive energy fluctuation had disappeared complete

His brows furrowed as a wave of uncertainty washed over him. "What if this is all in my head?" he murmured, eyes scanning the empty space before him as if expecting it to answer. The strange phenomenon he had experienced since waking up felt too surreal. The glowing words, the bizarre notifications, the absurd notion that he had somehow acquired abilities beyond his comprehension—it all felt like a twisted dream his mind had conjured. "How can I confirm that any of this is real?" He bit his lip, his gaze flickering toward the semi-transparent interface hovering before him. "Can I actually use these skills? Wouldn't that be the ultimate proof?" Just as he was about to voice his doubts again, another notification blinked into existence.

Max furrowed his brows as he reflected on the system interface. "Oh, I didn't check everything before. Missions were listed after abilities, I think."Without hesitation, he focused his thoughts."System Interface!"A soft chime echoed in his mind.[Host Stats] [Skills & Techniques] [Powerflows] [Missions] [Shop]The translucent panel materialized before his eyes, its smooth, metallic sheen hovering in mid-air.

Chapter 48: Hash Disgrace Yura Kaelis remained on the stage even after her victory, standing firm with her piercing gaze fixed in a singular direction.A hush fell over the spectators as they followed her line of sight, curiosity flickering in their eyes before realization settled in. She was staring directly at Max Vale.“Max, I challenge you to a duel!” Her voice cut through the tense silence like a blade, sharp and commanding.Max met her gaze with an unreadable expression, his face composed and distant. Yet, beneath that stoic facade, an amused smirk played at the edges of his thoughts.‘So, she finally decided to make her move,’ he mused inwardly, his arms loosely crossed as he observed her.Murmurs erupted among the gathered students.“She’s challenging Max?”“Oh, this is going to be good.”“I’ve been waiting to see him in action again.”Excitement crackled through the air.

Chapter 47: The Power of Creation
Chapter 47: The Power of CreationYura Kaelis froze, her sharp gaze locked onto the group approaching from the other end of the training hall. Her expression flickered with disbelief as her focus narrowed on the blonde-haired boy striding toward them with an air of complete indifference."That's...? No, that can't be..." she muttered under her breath, her mind struggling to reconcile the past with the present.Max Bladeheart had once been someone she barely acknowledged—a figure who had, at most, admired her from afar. Yet, now, standing before her, there was nothing familiar about him. No admiration. No reverence. No lingering trace of the boy who had once looked at her like she was untouchable.Instead, his crimson gaze met hers without hesitation, devoid of recognition, interest, or even disdain. It was as if she was a stranger, someone utterly irrelevant in his world. Yura felt an unfamiliar pang in her chest, something she wasn’t willing to n
Chapter 46: invitation
Chapter 46: invitation Max stood in the quiet dojo, his muscles taut from training. A flicker of amusement crossed his face as he sensed the presence of others outside the door. The muffled voices seeped through the wooden panels, laced with tension and hushed urgency.'Finally grew the nerve to show up, huh?' Max mused inwardly, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Without hesitation, he strode toward the door and slid it open, revealing the figures waiting outside.Four individuals stood at the entrance—two boys and two girls, all seemingly around his age. He recognized two of them from the crowd that had watched his fight against Aurora, their expressions now a mixture of apprehension and forced confidence. The other two girls, however, were unfamiliar.The moment the doors opened, the conversation among the group came to an abrupt halt. The girl with streaks of black and purple in her hair eyed Max with skepticism before leani

Chapter 45 - Drawing Everyone’s Attention As Cedric strode through the academy corridors, a subtle grin played at the edges of his lips. "Maybe this place isn’t such a curse after all..." His posture was relaxed but poised, his movements fluid yet commanding. Unintentionally, he was drawing the gaze of nearly everyone in the hallways. Unlike before, the looks he received were not filled with disdain or condescension—this time, they carried something different. The female students found their eyes lingering on him, an unconscious fascination flickering in their expressions. There was something magnetic about the way he carried himself—an effortless confidence that hadn’t been there before. The male students, on the other hand, observed him with quiet envy, as if struggling to place why he suddenly seemed... different. Cedric remained oblivious to their stares, his mind occupied wi
Chapter 44: Collection Plan
Chapter 44: Collection Plan The neighborhood had been in an uproar since the battle against the Bloodwolf. The news spread like wildfire—Max Vale, the quiet and often unnoticed young man who lived alone, had single-handedly taken down the rampaging beast. At first, many were skeptical, dismissing it as an exaggeration. But after seeing the bloodstained pavement and the claw marks left behind, they could no longer deny the truth. The respect Max received from the community shifted almost overnight. People who barely acknowledged his presence before now gave him approving nods or whispered among themselves when he passed. Even the XAO Inspectors who had been dispatched to investigate had questioned him extensively. They had also spoken to Angy, as she had been directly involved. However, once their inquiries were done, there was little else they could do. The Bloodwolf had been a serious threat, and Max’s intervention had prevented fur
Chapter 43: Earned Recognition
. Chapter 43: Earned Recognition A sharp Zing! pierced the air. In a flash of blue light, the lifeless body of the bloodwolf materialized on the ground. Gasps erupted all around. "What…?!" A stunned silence settled over the gathered officers and bystanders. Every single pair of eyes was locked onto the grotesque remains of the bloodwolf, their expressions a mix of disbelief and horror. The creature’s head was barely clinging to its neck, connected only by a few sinewy strands of torn flesh. Deep, gaping holes riddled its body, each the size of a clenched fist, leaking fresh rivulets of blood onto the cracked pavement. Its face was caved in, its skull visibly fractured. The sheer brutality of its injuries told a chilling story—this beast hadn’t just been killed; it had been utterly dismantled. A shudder ran through the officers as they exchanged uneasy glances.
Chapter 42: Arrival of the XAO Inspectors
Chapter 42: Arrival of the XAO InspectorsBAM!The sheer weight of the bloodwolf sent the towering tree crashing to the ground, splintering bark and scattering leaves in all directions.Max Vale stood amidst the chaos, his breaths steady despite the ferocity of the battle. His golden-brown eyes glowed faintly in the dim moonlight, locked onto the beast. He had deliberately struck its head first, knowing that its unnaturally elastic hide would make a prolonged battle difficult. A precise, powerful blow was his best chance at swiftly ending the fight.But the bloodwolf was far from finished.With a guttural snarl, the beast staggered upright, shaking its head to dispel the dizziness from Max’s previous assault. Its dark red eyes flashed with renewed aggression as it planted its claws into the dirt."Awooo!"The beast’s howl echoed through the night as it lunged at Max with renewed ferocity.Slash! Slash!Its razor-sharp claws lashed out in rapid succession, carving through the air with
