Riley, standing in the center of the field, felt his heartbeat slow. The system's calculations had guided him perfectly, allowing him to predict every attack.But he still held back. 'I can't let them know about my ability yet, ' Riley said in his mind.Hogan was looking frustrated and shocked, he slammed his fist on the ground before getting up slowly. His eyes was filled with rage."This is not t over Riley " Hogan said with a dark voice.Hogan charged again but before he could reach Riley."That's enough!" Master duke said with a loud voice as he stopped Hogan from his attacks.Hogan was pissed off, he clenched his fist tightly but he just gave to obey the instructions."Master, I..." Hogan tried to speakMaster duke raised a hand, silencing him. Then, he turned to Riley. His piercing gaze seemed to analyze him deeper than anyone else ever had."Riley," he said slowly, " you lasted against Hogan longer than any recruit has ever managed."The other hunters murmured among themselves

"How dare you Hogan, just because you are my best hunter doesn't mean you disrespect me" master duke said.Riley stood there watching silently."You've been going on and on about this bot ever since you saw him defeat those monsters...all I can say that it is by luck except he is hiding something from us" Hogan said with anger.Riley was feeling uneasy as he didn't want master duke to suspect he has system ability, a strange ability that no one has ever seen."I told you guys, it's luck...and besides I have been training" Riley said calmly."Well why don't you prove it here and now" Hogan said."How?" Riley asked."I challenge you to a duel right now" Hogan voices out and immediately all the remaining hunters and the remaining masters gathered around"Hogan, that's enough!" Master duke voiced out."What Riley?Are you scared?" Hogan said. All the remaining hunters began to laugh."The mission we're preparing for is a dangerous mission...we are going to another dimension where the monst

Riley felt a sweat roll down the back of his neck. Master duke is too sharp to fool easily, but he's determined to keep the system a secret. He quickly comes up with a half truth, hoping it will satisfy Master duke without more suspicion."Well, I've been, uh, watching a lot of hunters sparring . You know, trying to learn from them. I guess I picked up a few things from watching their movement and techniques. Plus the monsters were slow. I just...I don't know, I acted on instinct" Riley said.Master Duke's gaze softens a little but he is still not entirely convinced. He nods slowly, processing Riley's words."Instinct huh?, I've seen instincts in action and what you did back there felt more....intentional. Almost like you knew exactly how each of them would make it before they did." Master duke said confidently.Riley forced out a laugh."I guess I got lucky?, I don't know, maybe adrenaline kicked in or something " He said.Master duke studies Riley for a few more moments, the sighs,

A faint, unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind."SYSTEM INITIALIZING"He shook his head. "What was that?". It was as if the system sensed trouble."Riley, grab the hammer and come join me to work" his grandfather, Mr Daniel said.Just as he was about to pick up the hammer, a deafening roar shook the ground.The walls trembled, screams filled the air, Riley and his grandfather froze."What's that noise?" Riley rushed to the window. His heart stopped.The sky turned black with smoke. Buildings crumbled. Fire rained from above. The streets were filled with chaos."Grandpa... it's happening again"Outside, massive creatures tore through the weak habitat.A black scaled dragon with glowing red eyes spewed fire onto the houses, burning them to ashes.Sea monsters with humanoid figures and glowing blue skin dragged screaming people into the flooded streets.Shadow crawlers lurked in the dark corners, whispering into people's minds, driving them insane before slaughtering them.Panic took over t

Riley Anderson was losing his breath as soon as he saw the word abilities."Abilities?, missions?" Riley whispers to himself, his mind racing as he tries to understand what is going on, as he wonders if it is possible that there was more to him that he never knew.The screen disappeared once more the same way it mysteriously appeared leaving Riley Anderson staring at an empty air where he saw the system screens.Riley Anderson's heart was still racing as he sat down frozen and wondering what all of that meant and what would happen next.Riley Anderson couldn't believe what he had just witnessed as he sat there completely dumbfounded as he kept staring at the spot where the system screen disappeared from. His mind was racing as he was processing what just happened."Was I hallucinating?" Riley Anderson asked himself as he couldn't believe his eyes so he blinked several times and he was then certain that the system screen was gone and once again the room became quiet except for the soun

Riley arrived home looking all sad, his grandfather saw his mood and knew he might have seen some cool stuff at the headquarters, he had no idea that today was the granting of abilities.Riley Anderson sat there quietly as he clutched the blanket. Mr Daniel knelt beside him while looking at him with pity."You don't have to do anything right now, just rest and we will take things one day at a time, together and always remember Riley, you are not a burden to me...you are my grandson" Mr Daniel whispers softly.His words felt comforting for Riley but he didn't say anything but the tension on his face shortened. Mr Daniel then stood up to give him time to adjust to cool off but he kept a watchful eye on him, making sure he felt at ease.Riley Anderson was deeply sad that the crystal ball rejected him, he was afraid of telling his grandfather that he touched the enchanted crystal ball he warned him about.Mr Daniel, Riley's grandfather has been taking care of Riley ever since Riley's both
