Ajax quickly activated Time Freeze in the last minute before the incoming personality spots him and begin to question him. With the help of the Time Freeze, Ajax quickly ran and hid by a huge tree. "Is that the Mutant that attacked you and your friend?" A man with long brown hair asked. He was currently wearing a sky blue armour from head to toe, and two long swords were strapped in an x- like shape on his back.The man was known as Jeremy knight. Jeremy is a Solo Ranger who chose not to join any guild around the world. Solo Rangers are people who go hunting on their own with no team backing them. Most people don't value solo rangers because they are considered weak if they were to go up against a large amount of Wild Mutants. The idea of becoming a Solo Ranger crossed Ajax's mind once. Since he doesn't have a Skill Slot, maybe he'll save up money to buy Armours and weapons that will increase his powers a bit. And then when he trains harder, he'll finally begin his hunting an
Ajax jumped up from his bed as he saw the notification. 'I recently just absorbed the soul of that Mutant Wolf and my soul point was full. I know i used 20 points on Time freeze so i could escape, but why is 80 points considred low?' Ajax thought with sweat running down his face. Ajax also noticed the notification he received now was different from the one he got the other day. This one seems to first inform him of the countdown, while the formal one started reducing the point immediately. 'Does it mean this system doesn't approve Wild Mutants? Does it only have to be humans? Ajax racked his brain trying to get just what is going on._____ The morning sun rose up and the two boys woke up. Jeremy was busy yawning and stretching like he just had the best sleep of his life. "Hey, you didn't get a nice sleep?" Jeremy asked noticing the black bags under Ajax's eyes. "Yeah, got lot on my mind" Ajax replied as he went to frrshen up. Today was a sunday, meaning the students has the w
Ajax took Raya outside the cafeteria to talk where no one could hear them. Ajax still doesn't trust anyone in the academy, including Raya. That's why he hasn't told her about the system yet. After taking her to somewhere quiet and void of people. Ajax began to speak. "Do you by any chance know of a kind of Mutant that requires soul to live?" Ajax asked. Raya had a look of confusion on her face. "What do you mean?" Raya asked. "A Mutant that survives by absorbing a soul? Have you ever heard of it?" Ajax repeated the question with look of seriousness. Raya saw the seriousness in Ajax's eyes and knew it was no joking matter. She thought about it for some time, before finally speaking. "Yes, i think they exist" Raya said. "I've read about those kind of Mutants once. They wield all the power a Mutant could ever have. But in order to use their ability, they needed to absorb a soul. Human soul to be precise" Raya explained.This kind of topics were usually discussed in class, but
The students who stood opposite Ajax had looks of disbelief in them as they saw Ajax pull out the spikes. Ajax pulled out the last spike and the wounds began to heal at an incredible speed.'Am i imagining things, or is the wounds healing fast?' The plump looking student thought. It was clear Ajax didn't have a skill Slot, how then is he able to heal this quickly?. That was their thoughts. "Don't let him scare you guys! He's only a loser. Get him!" Brian shouted, snapping his friends out of their dazed. After hearing Brian's words, the two boys regained the confidence they once had. One of them charged forward towards Ajax. Ajax stood there calmly as he watched the rugged looking boy charge towards him. When the boy was in striking distance, he slashed out his Tiger-like arm towards Ajax's stomach. Ajax moved few centimeters backwards, making the boy scratch nothing but air. The boy pulled his arm backwards as he was about to swing out another attack.Bam! Ajax kneel conne
In a certain area on earth, a tall large building was located. The building was so tall that it piereced the sky. Inside the building was crowded with people doing their own stuffs. Some was typing away on their computers, some were making sure the place was tidy and all. The elevator door located by the corner of the room they were currently on, slid open and a man on white suit and white trousers and also white hair walked in. The man didn't seem to have any sort of expression on his face. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or sad. His two arms were crossed behind him as he walked towards one of the lady working on her computer. The lady informed the man earlier that they got a message from the Mutant Academy, and his attention was needed. The man bent his head beside the lady and stared at the computer screen with concenteration. "This is the message they sent us" The lady spoke as she clicked on the text. Once she clicked on it, a very short text appeared. (Your
[Soul point : 70/100] Ajax began to sweat on the spot after receiving the notification. Of course he knew this would happen, he just wished it doesn't happen when they are taking their tests. If he were to run wild during the Clash Squad, everyone will find out who he truly was. "Hey, man you good?" AJeremy asked as he noticed his roommate was sweating like crazy. "You are sweating like crazy man" Jeremy added.Raya quickly guessed that whatever was happening to Ajax has something to do with the power he got. But she couldn't ask any questions that will give Ajax away, because of Jeremy being around them. "Maybe you should go see the nurse before we leave" Raya said. "Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine." Ajax replied and gave a fake smile. After Ajax confirmed he was okay, they began to look around the hall to find someone that will join their team. But they got turned down because of their lower graded Skill Slot, and also Ajax not having a skill. Jeremy ofcourse, brought ba
"Come on, are you just going to stand there and wait for me to make the first move?" Jeremy said, with his hand gesturing for the other to come at him. Taking on his challenge, Ajax charged forward at an incredible speed from his position.From the reaction, he could tell that even Jeremy hadn't expected the skinny guy to be so fast. 'He's quite fast, and probably strong? If he truly was the one that killed that Mutant Wolf, and also cracked the bathroom wall, then if i get hit by him without my armour then this fight would be over'. Jeremy leaned backward, so much that his back was nearly making a ninety degree angle and avoiding the punch completely. While close to the ground, Jeremy used his hands to flip to the back to create gap between him and his opponent. "Woah, i bet there was so much power behind that punch." A student commented from the side. "The Solo Ranger dude was lucky to dodge such punch". Another student added. Ajax closed the gab between both of them, s
After the wild Mutants were defeated and sent back to their planet, Gilbert Manchester quickly shut down the portal afraid more might crawl in. But years later, the government made him create more of those portals to help the guilds around go hunting in the Mutant planet. Gilbert Manchester had no choice but to obey. After creating more of the portals,the government began selling it to top guilds that are willing to pay a high price for it. Higher guilds were able to purchase the portal device, in hopes of teleporting to the planet and hunt higher graded Mutants. With the help of the Portals, guilds were now able to travel to the Mutants planet and hunt them to carve out their valuable body parts. Everything was going well, until a certain guild encountered a grade five Mutant. The Mutant had human features, there was no telling whether he was a Mutant or human. He introduced himself as Darick Carden. Darick hid his true identity to the Guild, and made up a story of how he e
Abraham, who stood meters away with the rest of the villagers, had a look of disbelief on his face as Ajax took down two more mutants.He shifted his gaze towards the lady standing beside him and questioned."Who is that guy?" Abraham questioned, his gaze fixed on Ajax who was busy taking down the mutants meters away."I have no idea. I have never seen him before." The lady known as Sadie, responded. "But he seems strong. Maybe too strong for his age. Also, where did he get such an armor from?" Sadie added.Abraham didn't bother responding, his gaze fixed on Ajax, and his face green with jealousy.He could hear the villagers hailing and praising Ajax as he defeated the mutants on his own, and that got home angry and jealous.He was supposed to be the main character in this. The center of their attention. But in the end, some unknown teenage boy just showed up and took his place."Who the hell do you think you are, boy?" Abraham mused as he gripped his blade tightly and began to Sprint
"THE MUTANTS ARE HERE!" The man alerted while running towards the village, and before he could arrive, his head was split in half as the mutant caught up with him.The eyes of the villagers widened in terror as they watched the mutant chop off the head of their fellow villager with its claws."Everyone, ready your weapons! Women and children get out of here now!" A young man with a short snow white hair and nice body structure voiced out as he unsheathed his blade and gripped it firmly. He was clad in a brown mutant armor.He was known as Abraham.Hearing the words of Abraham, women began to carry their children and began to run for their lives. "You too, Frost, get out of here!" Abraham shifted his gaze towards Frost and ordered."I said I'm fighting!" Frost interjected as she dropped her blade and locked up a long two edged mutant spear."It's too dangerous, Frost. Go with your mother and siblings...let the men handle the battle!" Abraham voiced out."You can't change my mind, Abra
Stepping into the red portal, Ajax vanished instantly. He traveled through the portal for a few moments until he finally arived at his destination.Zwin![ALERT!][YOU ARE NOW IN THE EVOLUTION QUEST ZONE]A notification popped up right in front of Ajax the moment he arrived,and he glamced at it before it vanished."Hmm." Ajax mused as he swept his gaze through the area he found himself in.The place looked like a small village with huts here and there and villagers in old and dirty attire walking around."Where the hell is this place?" Ajax pondered in bewilderment as he examined the place.As he was busy glancing around, notification blocked his line of sight."[YOU HVE THREE TESTS TO PASS TO COMPLETE THE EVOLUTION][YOU CANNOT LEAVE UNTIL THE EVOLUTION IS COMPLETED AND ALL TESTS PASSED][REWARDS FOR THE QUEST ARE GRANTED AFTER THE EVOLUTION]Ajax's eyes scanned through the screen floating in front of him, and a dumbfounded look etched on his face."Three tesrs, eh? I wonder what the
"If only I could get the rewards for slaying such a powerful mutant. I am sure it would have been a series of level ups and juicy attribute points with a new skill or two." Ajax wondered with his fingers rubbing his chin.And in the end, he couldn't get any of those because he was yet to complete the evolution quest that would make him a full souljacker."Wait, if I can't get those rewards, then maybe I can get myself a new puppet." Ajax mused as he shifted his gaze towards Jo's corpse.He walked towards the corpse and knelt down beside it with his hands placed on the chest.[SKILL, PUPPETEER HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]Activating the skill, the whole area got enveloped by strong wind that made the dust on the ground rise up and dance around.Blades, who was watched from a distance, had to block his eyes with his arms after catching sight of a bright green light coming from the direction of Ajax.The wind kept blowing, making buildings that were on the verge of collapsing crumble down, and th
In a blink of an eye, the street they both fought on was now covered in what looked like a shadow bubble, locking every living creature around inside and also impossible to escape. After lowering the veil, Jo felt his strength dropped drastically which he knew would happen.Once in inside the veil, the enemy's strength gets halved, and the reduced strength of the enemy would be added to the user, making him extremely powerful. Jo knew all about the Shadow Dominance technique, that's why he wasn't really shocked when his body suddenly became sluggish and numb."To be honest, I never thought you were a mutant of this level. To be able to use such a technique meaning you're a....hybrid?" Jo finally spoke up after a few moments of silence, and his gaze fixated on Ajax who stood there meters away with his whole body now equipped in his shadow armor."I never thought I would ever cross paths with a hybrid, but now I didn't just crossed paths with one.. I would also get to kill one!" Jo sho
"Damn it, how am I supposed to defeat him if I can't use any of my soul related abilities?" Ajax pondered internally."Should I summon my puppets?" Ajax mused. "Nah,they are already out of soulpoints and would need time to regain their strengths. I am on my own for now."Ajax's puppets already lost all their energies fighting Jo's clone a few hours ago, so using them at this moment wasn't an option."I'll have to try my best to defeat him without using any soul related abilities, and also avoid sustaining another critical injury that would require super fast healing." Ajax concluded as he called out his shadow blade and it appeared in his right hand.He clenched the blade firmly in his right hand, crouched a bit, before dashing forward at lightning speed. He charged forward at a speed that almost looked like he teleported, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived directly in front of Jo and swung out his blade towards his his head.CLANG"The blade teaveled through the air, and when it w
While Ajax struggled to figure out what was going on, he heard a deep voice meters away, causing him to shift his gaze instantly."Don't be shocked, Ajax! I just absorbed my brothers soul, meaning the three of us are now combined as one!" Jo spoke, and his voice sounded like three people were talking.Ajax stood there, his gaze fixed on Jo who seemed to have grew in both height and seize. His muscles were now bulky like that of a chronic bodybuilder, and his height like a professional basketball player."Soul combination is a technique that can only be mastered by a few souljackers clan. However, it can only be used once in a lifetime, and that is when the other two siblings dies.""The sibling left would then be able to absorb the soul of his brothers, and they shall be awakened once again inside of him..making three of them work as one.""I never thought this fight would extend to the point where the soul combination would be executed, but oh well, you're much more stronger than I t
Dark purple blood filled the whole place, and the only sound that could be heard was screeching sounds as the eyes was being stabbed continuously.Ajax kept repeating the process, until a notification screen materialized right in front of him.[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE SLAIN A HIGH GRADED SERPENTINE SOUL MUTANT]Ajax glanced at the holographic screen floating in front of him while panting heavily. He wiped the blood off his shadow blade before shifting his gaze towards Mo who was still in the form of his lion-like soul beast."You killed my brother!" Mo roared in anger as he launched forward in all fours. His speed was quite fast and impressive, and the ground they stood on shook slightly as he dashee forward.Ajax got in a fighting stance with his blade gripped tightly in his right hand and his gaze fixed on the incoming mutant. In a blink of an eye, the mutant arrived directly in front of him and he slashed out his claws towards Ajax's chest.Clang*Reacting gracefully,Ajax blocke
Bo that stood by his left hand side leaned down a bit and transformed into a serpentine mutant. The serpent was the size of a truck and the length was almost hundred meters. The skin as tough as a metal, and two sharp fangs sticking out from its mouth."Let's see how long you would last, Ajax Hart." Jo smirked as his two mutated brothers began to charge towards Ajax at once.Mo ran on all four at an incredible speed, while Bo also crawled on the floor like a serpentine mutant as they headed towards Ajax. When they were meters away from Ajax, the serpentine mutant leaped up into the air and opened its mouth wide opened, revealing its razor sharp fangs,as it descended towards Ajax with full force.While Mo slashed his vicious claws towards Ajax. Ajax saw both attacks heading towards him at ain incredible pace,and in the last second, he leaped a few steps backwards.SWOOSH!Ajax leaped backwards, making the mutant slash nothing but thin air, and the serpentine mutant missed him and lande
