It had been one year since the apocalypse when monsters suddenly appeared on earth and started killing humans. The human population reduced greatly but it was at that time that awakening centers were found and humans also found out that after awakening your innate talent, and you could get stronger from killing monsters and absorbing the cores in them and also learning skills from skillbooks dropped from monsters. It was on this day that our MC, James a university student before the apocalypse was on his way to the awakening center to awaken his innate talent. As he was on his way he met his friend Alex who was also on his way to awaken his innate talent.
"So James what talent do you think you will awaken?" Alex was curious to know."I don't know maybe ice or fire " He said in a low voice so only Alex could hear him."I wish I knew what I would awaken I am so anxious to know " By now they had already reached the awakening center there were not many people here only a old man and a fierce looking man."Step up to awaken your talent" said the fierce looking man, hearing this Alex nervously went up to the alter and placed his hand on the orb after some time a red light shone from the alter and started becoming brighter then disappeared."Not bad, a medium grade fire talent" The old man was surprised as he stared at Alex who was excited."My turn" James stepped up and placed his hand on the alter after some time it glowed with a dim white light and then disappeared, everyone was surprised"I am sorry but I have not seen or heard of such a thing before" The old man said with a frown but James was silent so the old man thought he was dishearted so he gave him some cores."Take this cores and then sell them you will be able to live comfortably for a while" Alex also comforted him by telling him that he will help him If he needs any help. James thanked both of them and left but deep inside he couldn't wait to get home because he could hear a voice in his head"Ding""Initiation of The strongest Esper system"James immediately rushed home with excitement and when he had settled down and calmed himself down he said in his mind 'system status' "DING"[HOST]–JAMES [AGE]–20[LEVEL]– [EXP]–[0/100]ATTRIBUTES[STRENGTH ]–7[INTELLIGENCE]–9[VITALITY]–9[AGILITY]–7[DEXTERITY]–8[MANA]–100[SYSTEM POINTS]–100[SKILL POINTS ]–0 PRIMARY INNATE TALENT [FIRE]–[F][ICE]–[F][WIND]–[F][SECONDARY INNATE TALENT ]–LOCKEDPASSIVE SKILLSLEVEL 1[ICE BLAST]RANK–FCOST–5 MANA POINTS DESCRIPTIONBLASTS 5 ICE SHARDS AT A TARGET/TARGETSPROFICIENCY –[0/10]LEVEL 1[WIND BLADE]RANK–FCOST–5 MANA POINTS DESCRIPTION BLASTS 5 WIND BLADES AT A TARGET/TARGETSPROFICIENCY [0/10]LEVEL 1[FIRE BALL]RANK–FCOST–5 MANA POINTSDESCRIPTION.BLASTS 5FIRE BALLS AT A TARGET/TARGETSPROFICIENCY –[0/10]"It actually works, whoa I have a video game system" James was so excited that he didn't realize he was shouting."DING"[SYSTEM ABSORBED ENERGY FROM AWAKENING CRYSTAL][DOES HOST WANT TO TRANSFORM ENERGY TO E

For hours James had been searching for monsters to kill but he hadn't found any and he was starting to get depressed so he asked the system.'System is there any way that you can locate any monster for me to kill' James asked as he rested under a tree. [SYSTEM CAN SEARCH FOR MONSTERS IN A RANGE OF 500 METERS SO WHEN HOST GETS NEAR THEM THE SYSTEM WILL NOTIFY HOST ].'Okay' James said as he once again started the tedious work of searching for monsters and after some time he received a notification from the system. "DING"[SYSTEM HAS DETECTED A NEST OF LIGHTNING SNAKES UP AHEAD]"Finally some action " And after saying that he searched for lightning snakes in his bestiary."Okay says here that among the RANK 3 monsters they are one of the most deadliest and fastest because of their speed and venom which is said to be able to kill a RANK 4 monster in seconds"James said with a grave look as he calmed his anxious heart.When he finished reading he took a look at his skills before asking

At a glance James knew what to choose 'System I choose the beast tamer ' After choosing James who was exhausted after farming monsters went to sleep so that he could wake up early the next morning. The next morning James woke up early and freshened himself up before going to the Esper association to sell the monsters he farmed .When he reached he was shown to a comfortable seat to wait until he was attended to and as he was waiting he started to look around.'Wow this building could survive a beast hoard for a month' He said that because the walls
"DING"[REPORTING TO HOST THAT THE HIGHEST IS A VAMPIRE ].'System did you just say a vampire' James thought he heard wrong so he asked to clarify .[YES HOST, A LEVEL 50 VAMPIRE] "Wow things are getting stranger by the day, but I wonder if it's connected to the disappearance of Alex and the children" James only got more curious to find out so he entered the valley."DING"[HOST HAS ENTERED ANOTHER DIMENSION ].Immediately James entered he received the notification and then the scenery changed from night to morning. "what the? how the?"James just kept on muttering words out of shock and then. "DING"[SYSTEM HAS DETECTED A LEVEL 40 MONSTER APPROACHING].'okay it will serve as a warm-up for me 'James wasn't just saying it out of pride,he was saying it out of confidence in his ability because compared the someone in the same level his stats were off the charts.so James waited until the monster arrived and then used inspect on it.

After killing the demon soldier James sat on the ground and thought about the battle.If he did not have the teleport skill he was sure that the last attack would have disintegrated him.

Before he could search for it he heard a sound at his back so he turned and that was when he saw the last one only a 3 feet away from him with a dagger aiming at his neck.Even as he was in a near death situation he still calmed down his mind as as he did time slowed down. If it was someone else they would have been distracted by the slowing of time, but James made use of the situation and activated iron fist and placed his hands in front of his neck. When time went back to normal, James blocked the dagger with his iron fists and grabbed the clone by the neck and lifted him up and twisted his neck which ended it's life. After the fight he remembered the slowing of time and after thinking for something he had only figured out the cause. James was still thinking about it when all the corpses disappeared and the system appeared with the same Smile. "You passed the test with flying colours, I never thought that you would be able to use the martial arts skill without training it befor
In the battle hall of the Capital, located in the city lord's residence, the 4 generals were all gathered around the Battle table, James and Xi Shi were also seated there, as for Xi Shi and Shòuwáng, they were keeping Mimi busy elsewhere."This is a direct provocation to our esteemed Lord, we cannot stand for this rubbish, I say we attack with our full force and decimate Sergan's force" A pale faced man said in anger, his hair changed from black to brown as he spoke, his confident aura displayed his strength as a Transcendent on the same level as Yao Ming, the fact was that excluding Yao Jing who was a peak Transcendent and James who was an Ancestor, the rest were all on the same level of strength as Yao Ming, this particular General was named General Hans."Sergan is a valid threat to our Continent, we have to eliminate him as soon as possible, I agree with General Hans" A middle-aged man with an eye patch added with a serious expression, his left hand clutched a wooden cane, this wa
"Greetings to the Lord" Everyone around also did the same as Eric, giving a light bow to the Old man who nodded in response."It's nice to see you again Yao Ming" The Old man said with a smile."Hello brother" Yao Ming replied with a sigh. "I hope you've been well, I thought you were dead" The Old man chuckled as he walked over and hugged Yao Ming."You know I can't die if you haven't" Yao Ming replied with a chuckle."We have a lot to talk about, let's go somewhere private" The Old Man said with a smile."Okay, thank you for everything, I'll meet up with you later" Yao Ming said to his brother then turned to Eric who was still dazed and hadn't registered the fact that Yao Ming was the Lord's brother."Oo..okay" He managed to speak while still digesting the situation."Are these your friends?" The Old Man asked observing Xi Shi and the others behind Yao Ming, when his eyes landed on Xi Shi and James, his eyes paused for a second before moving on, he waved his hand causing the environ
"Huh? What is this?" James muttered as he strolled through the Fireherd stronghold, watching the wine, meat, food, and bodies strewn across the hall, they were all asleep."What happened here?" Xi Shi asked also curious."We're about to find out" James replied staring at the door at the end of the hall.**************************************************"We have to tidy up the place before Master gets back otherwise, he'll be pissed off if he sees the situation of the stronghold" Di er said with a sigh as he massaged his forehead which ached, they had held a feast for three days non-stop."Just forget it, what are you so worried about? Master is probably still within the Secret Realm" Shouwang said with a smile, he glanced at the others seated around the table and chuckled before sipping wine from his gourd."How are you still able to drink after all that?" Xuèmai asked in confusion, the past three days had been one to never forget, they had partied throughout and drank so much wine th
“And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you make an entrance” James said with a bow before leaping off the monster’s back to land on the ground.“James! How..?” Xi Shi’s eyes lit up in shock after seeing James who grinned and walked over to her.“Yeah I missed you too” James winked at Xi Shi then turned to the others around.“Please help me loot those bodies over there” James said to them with a smile.“Yes of course” The others quickly took off to execute the task, they didn’t want to imagine what would happen if James got angry, the humongous monster at the side was a hint.After seeing them move along, James turned back to XI Shi.“Give me a minute with him” James whispered to her causing her to nod in response, James then turned to The Northern Sword who twitched seeing this.James’s expression suddenly turned serious as he walked toward The Northern Sword, taking each step one by one, watching James approach him, The Northern Sword instinctively grabbed his sword, his expression c
“I don’t know who you are but I’ll do as you say, I’m sure you know better than to break the oath of a sword” The Northern Sword replied with a nod to James who smiled just as the dimension shook for three cloaked figures to appear.“Looks like your opponents are here, I’ll be going on now, Xi Shi wait for me” James said to The Northern Sword and then to Xi Shi before teleporting over to the orb, he looked back to catch a view of The Northern Sword rushing toward the three figures alone if it was a different person there, James would have been worried but he knew who the Northern Sword was so he had no fear, he turned around and placed his palms on the orb before disappearing leaving the others.When he was some distance away from the three figures, The Northern Sword paused before sitting on the ground, his long sword lay next to him as he waved his hand causing a gourd to appear in his hands which he raised to his mouth, he then proceeded to gulp down its contents, by now the three
A flash of light was followed by the appearance of a figure in a pure white dimension, the whole dimension was white filled with nothing, it was totally empty except for the doorway that stood some feet away from him.“A creepy doorway, why not?” James chuckled to himself before walking through the doorway, as he walked through, he felt a strange force wash over him seeping through every pore in his body as if, trying to inspect every single secret he kept, the feeling lasted for a while before he was teleported into a grassy field, immediately after appearing, James didn’t waste time and quickly took a look at his surroundings.He was in a beautiful grassland, there was a magnificent sun which could be seen standing triumphantly in the sky providing light, butterflies flew all around the flowers which graced the environment with enchanting smells, birds flew all around the sky as rabbits and other insects played around on the ground, all this combined painted a beautiful image in Jam
“How dare you spit such foul stench on me, didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders” James’s voice sounded together with the head of the virulent serpent falling to the ground, as he walked out of the miasma clutching his sword he wiped the blood off calmly before turning to the group who stood watching him like he was a ghost.“This guy has to be the most mysterious person I have ever seen” Ye Yang remarked in astonishment staring at James who grinned while walking up to them.“I was wondering how you were going to take care of it, how did you even do that?” Xi Shi asked standing together with Liu Xiang who also stared at James in shock, even at his peak, he would have to be wary of the poisonous miasma of the Virulent Serpent but James just walked in without hesitation like he knew that he wouldn’t be harmed, he wasn’t the only one with this thought, Xi Shi also had the same thought in her mind.‘I didn’t even know they were behind us’ Luo Zen thought while staring at Xi
“Hey, are you okay?” James asked as he stood in front of Xi Shi who blinked her eyes as she remembered where she was.“Are you feeling all right?” James asked again as Xi Shi noticed how close they were, her cheeks suddenly glowed with a light red hue.“Oh sorry” James said awkwardly as he noticed this change and stepped backward.“I’m also fine thank you, what is this piece of paper on me?” Liu Xiang asked as he looked down to see a piece of paper stuck on his chest with several runes on it.“Make sure you don’t make the mistake of taking it off, those are concealment runes to shroud us from the thing in the core” James replied grimly.“You mean that eye, did you see it too?” Xi Shi asked in surprise as she thought back to the intense pressure she felt from that eye.“Huh did you see it?” James asked in shock.“Yeah, right before we escaped the illusion, I saw a huge eye staring at us, at that moment, I could feel such intense pressure that I have only ever felt from a few people” Xi
"The walls are really unique" Liu Xiang remarked s they walked through the narrow pathway through the walls."How did you know about the path here?" Liu Xiang asked James who glanced towards him quietly."Not gonna answer me huh" Liu Xiang muttered with a sigh before he turned to XI Shi."Hey beautiful, so what's your story" Liu Xiang said with a smirk."Do you ever shut up" Xi Shi retorted in annoyance."So how do you feel about letting those guys walk into their deaths" Liu Xiang turned to James and said with a grin after seeing his plan to lure Xi Shi to talk had worked, he also noticed that Xi Shi also perked her ears slightly after hearing the question, it seemed like she was also interested in James's answer."When they walked over here, I told them that I would help them up to the core and that's exactly what I did, I even chipped in a little clue that not everything is as it looks, so I would say that I've done more than enough" James said calmly as his eyes scanned the walls.
