With his eyes, Cyrus sized up the creature before him. The body that was possessed was that of a middle aged man, and while the figure before him seemed intimidating physically, Cyrus knew his own strength was not normal as well. Carefully, he dodged the first attempt at an attack by his opponent. Getting bit by a dead body was no fun, and he'd like to avoid conceding hits from the walking corpse. Drawing flames from a nearby lamp, Cyrus launched his first attack, but it was promptly deflected by another ball of fire. "What?" He gasped, and so did the entire class, all except Noah who already expected this to happen. Chi was basically the life source of human beings. It was the energy produced by the core of the human soul, and since the soul died with the body, dead humans did not possess chi. Everybody in the class had not expected this creature to be able to utilize the abilities of its dead host, but somehow it was doing so, and that new discovery had suddenly changed the entire
Cyrus Hartman woke up with a throbbing pain in his head. Lately he'd been experiencing a series of fluctuating migraines, but today was different, worse. It felt like a hammer was constantly being pounded on his forehead, and it was becoming worse as seconds went by.He sauntered out of bed, but fell on his knees moments later, it had gotten even more intense, he could feel the light fading away from his eyes, but just then a familiar voice called him back to reality. He recognized the voice, how could he ever forget the voice of his only sister, Fiona Hartman."Fiona?" He questioned abstractly. There was no one here except for him, but he was sure it wasn't a hallucination, he had heard his sister's voice call out to him just now. "Cyrus, why haven't you heeded to my calls for so long?" The voice questioned him. There was no doubt about it, he wasn't going mad because of the pain in his head, he was really hearing the voice of his sister, and seconds later his suspicions were confir
Cyrus threaded carefully towards the large edifice before him. A skyscraper with the word PRIMAL, elegantly articulated above its flat top. During his last interview, he had been skeptical about everything, and lacked confidence back then. But that wasn't the case now, he was ready to make the absolute best out of his second chance.The room was massive, and the opulence within did well to represent the wealthy persona that Primal had so carefully created over the years. Comfortable leather seats and exquisite glass tables took up some of the space in the large hall. The polished wooden floor was completely covered by thick yet soft rugs that Cyrus would tell had been imported right from the Middle East. There were over a dozen delicate and insanely expensive glass figurines on the mantelpiece, each one a collection of every rare character that ever existed In the world of gaming. On the walls, hung a large flat screen TV, steady playing some unknown sappy game theme that Cyrus co
"A player has transcended so soon?""Did he hack through Primal's technology?""Must be a glitch in the system!" Were the most notable comments that could be heard from the crowd.The selection had ended barely twelve minutes ago, and now a player has transcended? Primal games were supposed to be tough, almost impossible to complete. So who was this player who was making Primal look like a joke."A transcended player huh?" Liam Hardwood, the silver haired boy thought to himself. As a talented and pro gamer it seemed odd for someone to make such a progress this early, but Liam knew better. He wasn't new to these kinds of things, his guess was that the system had already detected the player's potential from the onset of events, and had simply decided to give the player a buff right away. He couldn't deny that this player had him intrigued. He wasn't a bad player, he was far from being bad. After taking quick assessments of all potential candidates gathered for the screeching process, L
Though his newly gained ability was the perfect power for this kind of tasks, Cyrus still had no idea how to utilize it in combat, coupled with the fact that the skin walker might actually be stronger than he was. He had no idea what might happen if he ends up dying against an opponent in this game. Would he respawn? Or will he be sent out of the game? Or will he lose everything he had gained after Respawning? There were too many possibilities, and Cyrus was genuinely scared of all.Mustering up the little courage inside him, Cyrus stepped out from his comfort zone and entered the crowd. If he truly wanted to find and stop this Skinwalker then he had to get inside the crowd.Today was quite a busy day for Diontra, the market wasn't too far from where he was currently. It was close to the outskirts of Diontra, a kingdom known to flourish due to the abundance of mineral resources, making it one of the wealthiest kingdoms. Diontra was surrounded by two neighboring kingdoms, but neither
"You defeated the Skinwalker! You're a true hero!" "I've never seen anyone fight like that before. You're incredible!Although the crowd was wild with praises and accolades, Cyrus was more interested in the information before his eyes.

"An unauthorized monster hunter eh? Trying to make some change off the people without a license." The first man accused. Taking one look at them, Cyrus was quick to make out that these men were royal knights. His
Liam looked up into the sky and frowned slightly. Although the weather was beautifully clear, he couldn't shake off the feeling that had been bothering him all day. 'A transcended player..'"Focus Mr Hardwood!" A stern voice yelled at the silver haired boy. Recollecting himself, Liam fell into line just like the rest of the students.After the announcement about the transcended player, Liam's first task had been to join the Royal knight Academy. He hadn't expected training to start the very same day he registered, but in Diontra things were taken very seriously. The knight Academy trained young men and women in the art of combat, chivalry, and leadership. Students are trained in the use of weapons such as swords, lances, and bows, as well as in horseback riding and other physical skills. They are also taught the virtues of honor, loyalty, and courage, and are expected to uphold a strict code of conduct. After the knight Academy, the top students are recruited into the palace to serv
The two girls found their way to one of the knight Academy way faster than Lucy expected. It took then considerably less time than it normally would have, thanks mostly to the fact that Emily was a graduate of the institution. She had bumped into the monster hunter on her way to the palace, and they'd become friends almost immediately. With Emily's assistance, she had been able to apply for knight training despite her timid looks. The knight in charge had mistook her for a child, and had insisted that she was underaged. However Emily had helped her out, and she had gotten enrolled. Before she could get to the Academy, it was already nighttime, and she had spent the night in the monster Hunter's place. Lucy was already aware that she had missed the entrance exams, and entry might be difficult, but Emily had told her not to worry. She was worried, but she didn't show it. She didn't want to doubt Emily's capabilities, or undermine her assistance.Soon both of them were seated at offi
