Seeing the figure standing up again, Storm's heart beat faster. He couldn't beat Derek without the Orb but he needed to fight him before getting the Orb. The pressure he felt from him was enormous, a suffocating weight that pinned him to the spot. He could barely move, his muscles strained against an invisible force. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing like a drum in his ears. The air around him seemed to thicken, making it hard to breathe. He knew he had no other choice but to fight, yet every fiber of his bones screamed at him to run.“You know, no one has ever tried to fight me but you tried, I'll give you that. Even my daughter couldn't beat me, what made you think you could?” Derek laughed loudly his voice reverberating against the walls.“You are a horrible person. A horrible father, a horrible ruler!” Storm yelled.“Oh, I know that. I am sure my daughter told you about our history. I never wanted a daughter but I got unlucky, I need someone strong, powerful bu
Storm laid down on the ground and thought about everything. Not just his own end, but the end of everything he fought for, everything he believed in. He had promised to save the world, to change everything back and now he was about to give up.He could hear the echoes of his own words, the promises he made to his friends and Lillian. "I will fix everything," he said, with all the conviction of a man who thought he could change everything immediately he entered the other realm. But fate, it seems, has a sense of humor. Derek had told him he was supposed to die at the end, he didn't believe him at first but here he was lying on the floor on the verge of dying.Storm remembered the faces of his friends. He could remember their smile, Keith's smirk he always seemed to have on, Lucy's perfect eyebrows she always raised when she was angry, Ella's warm smile and Kade’s perfect smile. Their eyes had been filled with trust and high hopes and it haunted him now. They had believed in him, and
“What are you waiting for?” Immediately, he heard the voice, he turned and looked at Storm in shock, not knowing what to say. Derek stared at Storm speechless, he was supposed to be dead. At that moment, Storm was more like a celestial being. All his injuries had been healed, and he was looking like a newly transformed person. The transformation was so astonishing that it left him speechless, his mind raced as he stared at Storm. How was this possible? He should be dead? Derek quickly glanced at Storm's right hand and noticed it was intact, he looked around him but still saw the severed hand beside him. How was that possible? This shouldn't be happening. It wasn't a part of his plans, everything he had learnt about the Orb didn't have to do with this. Could it being a dead person back to life?Storm stood there, looking strong and his body glowed as bright as the orb. His once tattered clothes were now different , better than before and his skin had no injury on it. The contrast betw
“ What are you going to do to me?” Derek asked. He glared at Storm who didn't seem to care about the way he looked at him.“Derek, King of hell. You are hereby banished for the three realms. You would live in exile for the rest of your life. You are forever immortal and no matter what you do, you would never die. Birds would feed on you, you would never find peace no matter what you do.” Derek laughed maniacally after he spoke. As Storm turned to leave, Derek yelled, “I hope you die just like your parents did.” Storm paused at the door and only glanced at him before he left.Walking out of the palace, he noticed that everywhere was quiet, except for the hoots of owls. Storm didn't waste much time and closed the gate to the three realms. The gate to the three realms was a portal of unimaginable power and complexity, he quickly shut the portal, severing the connection between the three realms that had caused so much chaos. The air around the gate shimmered with a lot of energy. The atm
"Hurry up already, Storm! Go fetch the vegetables from the farm land!" An elderly man voiced hastily, and a teenage boy rushed out from his room all dressed in his brown jacket and brown pants. A black plastic bag was held in his hand, and a silver bracelet around his wrist."Sorry for the delay, grandpa." Storm apologised as he laced his boots."Be back before evening because I still need you for some other things around here, Storm." Grandpa Sikes, instructed."Understood." Storm affirmed by nodding hus head before dashing out from the house and heading towards the farm. Grandpa Sikes stood there and watched Storm run joyfully through the street, and a smile appeared on his face.Despite the humiliation and tantrums he faced because he was born into the world as a human, he still managed to remain cheerful. The current world now regards humans as weak and useless..people that shouldn't be a part of the world. While the mythical creatures like Orcs, dragons, elves, dwarfs, reigned s
The sun was starting to set and Grandpa Sikes sat on a small wooden stool feeling restless. Storm had gone to the farm very early in the morning, and up till now he was yet to return. "Why is he taking so long today?" Grandpa Sikes pondered internally and began to walk towards the door to take a peek and see if Storm was coming.BANGBefore grandpa Sikes could get close, the door was sent flying and two enormous figures stepped in. The figures were gigantic and had muscular builds with red skin, two horns on their head, and pointy ears.They were high orcs.Catching a glimpse of the figures that just emerged, grandpa Sikes took several feets backwards with a frightful expression on his wrinkled face."Greetings, old dwarf." The leader amongst the duo spoke in a deep and terrifying tone. "We are here to receive the tribute money for today. Hand it over so we can leave immediately." He added.Since humans are considered weak amongst the creatures, the higher-ups made a rule that they s
Storm's eyelids began to lift open as he slowly woke up from his slumber."I'm not dead?" Storm frowned with a disappointed look. He remembered ingesting a poison that was enough to kill twenty men..why then was he still alive. "Maybe the pills were all fake. Darn the man that sold it to me." "My bracelet." Storm glanced at his wrist, but his bracelet was gone. Thinking about it, images of earlier began to flash back.The whole bright light that filled the room..and also.."What was thats screen i saw earlier?" Saying those last words, the same screen from earlier materialised right in front of Storm.[STORM WALKER HAS REACHED THE REQUIREMENT][VESSEL HAS BEEN ACQUIRED][TO PROCEED, VESSEL NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST][CLICK ON YES TO ACCEPT, AND NO TO DECLINE THE POWER][YES] [NO]Storm glanced at the screen in front of him in bewilderment."Haha, I didn't die, instead I was struck with madness and now I am seeing things." Storm rubbed his dirty blonde hair with a chuckle
[PROCESSING HAS BEEN COMPLETED][POWERS HAS BEEN GRANTED TO THE VESSEL]Storm rose up sluggishly from his bed feeling a bit relieved from his earlier headache. He glanced outside the window and noticed it was morning already."Can't believe I actually survived that." Storm mused as the encounter with the giant rat began to play in his head over and over again.He never imagined himself defeating a monster like that since humans are meant to be weak, but somehow it did."My wounds.." Strom glanced at his palms where the claws injured but there was nothing. Not even a single scratch, which made him puzzled."I had doubts about this system thing earlier..but after what happened, it convinced me that it's actually real. Question is where did it come from?"[ROAD TO BECOME THE STRONGEST]-NAME: STORM WALKER-LEVEL 1-TITLE: NONE-HP: 1000/1000-MANA POINTS: 1000/1000-EXP: 0/100[STATS]STRENGTH: 10AGILITY: 10SPEED: 10REFLEX: 10SENSES: 10[AVAILABLE STATS TO DISTRIBUTE: 20][ABILITIES]
