There were four types of mages in the world, ranging from alphas, betas, and deltas, to omegas.In the past, there was only one kind called Omegas who were naturally affected by the changes in the world and developed new powers like the beasts and plant life. They were the ones who saved humanity in the past. However, over time, more and more omegas died, and less of them were born.This was why humanity was forced to absorb the star crystals and thus become mages on their own. Mages created this way were called Betas in their initial stages. However, upon awakening of at least one ability, they were called alphas.Deltas, on the other hand, were mages who never absorbed any star crystal but used the star seals manufactured by humanity to fight the monsters. Star seals also came with many risks and side effects, but the desperation for survival forced humanity to keep using the star-seals.Delta level mages were divided into four stages: Tyro, Genteel, Adept, and Expert.Kong was an e
Animal eyes were much more sensitive to movements compared to that of humans, so the woke animals sitting in the audience stands were able to better see through Buller’s speedy movements compared to the human participants most of whom had no idea what was coming at them.Buller’s electric chainsaw tore through the necks of the participants left and right. In the first ten seconds, forty-five of them lost their heads, until a cannon-ball of fire struck Buller and sent him packing into the wall.“Wow,” the audience exclaimed. Their eyes focused on an old man with a spotty face who was none other than Sukazu who was rubbing his cannon arm, with a smirk on his face.Casey, Biskie, and a couple other women among the participants started screaming as blood poured out like mini-fountations from the decapitated humans, while their heads rolled all around. It was spine-chilling to say the least. One woman fainted then and there.Buller, as expected, wasn’t down from that hit. He wasn’t angered
With a tough shield in hand, buying a few seconds didn’t seem like an impossible task to Justin, but the same wasn’t the case for Casey or Biski. They couldn’t believe that he ran toward the humanoid bull instead of staying there and defending.However, Myles, having just opened his eyes, looked at things differently.“He’s distancing himself,” Myles thought. “If he were to stay next to the women, the opponent can take down all three of them together, but separating himself from others would help buy time. He might just make us pass while sacrificing himself.” Myles once again was reminded why he had chosen to heal Justin in the past even after he had just been reincarnated and was not at all inclined to save even an ant at that point.Buller didn’t wait until Justin closed the distance. He charged the chainsaw with electricity, and it flew off of the machine like sparks and crashed on the metal shield. Justin didn’t get pushed back but got rooted to the ground instead as electricity
The contest that had taken place at the arena was being live-telecasted on one of the channels all around the wolf city. It got millions of views because of the drama it had created.“The battle between fire and electricity was good.”“We were all wanting Buller to lose. When was the last time Ruff stepped onto the arena? He really showed everyone that he’s in a different league, didn’t he?”“It lasted till the last second. It was highly dramatic. I still have no idea how the four humans survived such a powerful lightning blast, though. With no visible injuries at that.”“Yeah. Perhaps, they were applying CG graphics on live-feed just to get high TRP?”“Whether they used graphics or not, we’ll know when we meet those humans in the flesh.”“I can’t wait to test their strength myself, haha.”Meanwhile, Myles and the other five winners of the Trial Quarters were provided a free meal by Ruff who then personally dropped them off at one of the main entrances leading into the city.“Once you
The wolf city, or at least the Saber ward they entered was so far from their expectations. They were hoping to see a decent city, but what they got was something that looked worse than a medieval painting.The houses were small and in a poor state. The streets weren’t clean, and the woke animals were all looking at them as if they were holding themselves back from jumping at them and eating them alive.Casey hugged Myles' arm. “They don’t look friendly. Are they going to attack us.”“I don’t know about that, but…” Myles gently pushed her hand away and forcibly smiled. “Can you please not grab my arm casually like we’re lovers?”“U-Uh, okay,” Casey felt a little embarrassed as well as annoyed. (H-How can he say that to me? To a good-looking woman like me? Trying to play the hard-to-get guy, are you? I’ve seen men like you before, and I know how to play with them!) She brought her body a little closer to him, making his eyebrows twitch.Biskie was also holding Justin’s arm, but Justin d
“You found a way to awaken the animals?” Kong found himself gawking at her.“Yes.” Foxie further explained, “They give the young an injection with some kind of serum in it, and then the young awaken soon afterward. For some it takes days, and for some it takes only minutes. It depends on the person.”“Ohh…” Kong exclaimed in surprise. (The injection must have the power of a star crystal and something else. If I can get my hands on one…) “Ahem, does it work for only animals or humans, too.”“I think it only works for the animal kind.”Kong’s shoulders flailed. (Dammit. I got excited for nothing.)“Since this is your first question, I’ve answered you for free,” Foxie politely replied, “but it will cost from here onward.”“O-Okay,” Justin and Kong together said.“Can you tell me how you survived Buller’s last attack?” Foxie asked in a low voice, looking at both Justin and Biskie. “I really want to know.”“About that…” Justin glanced at Myles who shrugged his shoulders. “We don’t know. It
Hipster was a fat hippo wearing goggles and a formal checkered shirt-pant with a shoulder belt. He had only one weakness. If someone called him handsome, he would give them a 5% discount. Casey called him handsome five times and asked for a 25% discount, but he increased the price by 25% percent.Naturally, Casey didn’t buy a drink.Behind the Hippo’s hut was the Buffalo’s Inn, where Myles and others wanted to stay for the night at a price of 200 dollars per night per head.Foxie, however, told them that they could stay at her house for only half the price. Buffalo’s inn didn’t look very lean, so they went with her to her house which was a decently large burrow in the ground. It had a door and a lock. They had to crawl behind Foxie to get inside.“I never thought I’d sleep like a fox inside a hole,” Justin muttered.“Are we going to sleep on the ground?” Biskie asked, thinking she should have stayed at the inn instead.“Won’t there be bugs here?” Casey expressed her displeasure.“I st
“WHAT?” Justin was slack-jawed after hearing the price of a star-sealed sword. “It’s worth 50,000 dollars? Isn’t that too much when the sword barely spits fire?”“That’s why it’s only 50,000 dollars,” the vendor replied. “If you are not interested, leave. Don’t waste my time.”Justin felt aggravated by the vendor’s rudeness, but he could also understand where that rudeness came from. The market was buzzing with customers. At least one customer would be visiting every shop. Naturally, the vendors had swollen egos.“I was given only 10,000 dollars when I entered the city,” Justin responded. “How can I pay 50,000?”The vendor was an old man with wrinkles. He sized Justin from top to bottom. “You have all the limbs, and you look young. If you work as a porter for any group that enters the dungeon, you can easily earn 50,000 in a month or two. There’s always demand for porters, after all. If you’re lucky, and some group finds valuable goods, they might even give you a bonus.”“Porter, huh…
