Exhausted and wounded, Cyrus and Noah climbed out of their ring and immediately walked straight to the medical team around. He wondered why he had suddenly lost strength when he motioned for his final attack, and the sudden appearance of Logan Stone had his mind running wild with suspicion. Lucy was still in the ring with Rin, and while she was still losing badly, she seemed to be doing a lot better than she was earlier. "That was a nice performance, Cyrus Hartman, you as well Alaric." He commended before settling beside the two boys. Cyrus nodded to the compliment and flashed his teacher a brief smile, while Noah simply lowered his head in defeat. He had lost, and even though he knew that Cyrus was stronger than him, he had entered the ring much more prepared than his opponent.He took a second to glance at his friend, and all he could think of was his explosive strength and stamina. Perhaps it had something to do with being a transcended player, Noah really couldn't decide. The on
The bell for classes went off sooner than anyone had expected. Although it was exactly at the normal time, the vampire attack had caused a lot of shifts in the academy's schedules. However, after one week of zero attacks, things had steadily begun to go back to normal. Even though Victor Farkas hadn't made a move just yet, Cyrus and his friends had continued their training, and he had managed to level his fire abilities to the third level. Since he was only training against Noah, the system didn't repeatedly task him with defeating someone he had already defeated once. He hadn't time to cultivate his Chi and since that was a hindrance, he couldn't battle Liam and improve his stats in the system. "I heard your father's the one teaching us today. Are you excited?" Liam asked Noah as they settled down in class. Cyrus was busy exchanging pleasantries with Lucy who had managed to develop some confidence and self esteem. "I can't say I'm excited, but I'm looking forward to it." Noah repl
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
