“Well, you seem even more excited than I am about this change I’m about to get used to,” Alec said, staring at the Old man before him.“Well, who wouldn’t be happy about getting the champion of one of the smaller islands to come to their region? You see, the Wilderness has lost far too many lords in recent times, so much that I had to come and recruit new lords myself, that’s just how dire the situation has become,” the old man said.Though his words made it seem like he held a position of high standing, however; he still didn’t state his real rank. Even so, Alec showed him respect, because the man was emitting the aura of a Tier 7 mage.However, Alec believed the man was hiding something, because despite the fact that he had faced many dangerous Tier 7 mages before, none of them had given him the same unsettling feeling as this old man who was dressed like a beggar.“Well, senior, is there a way you can arrange for all eight of us to have our lands close to each other?” Alec asked, a

And the grading of the students continued as usual after Alec got his wish and returned the reward he had received back to the man at the counter, after that, only a few were able to reach the A-rank grading, and all of them were team captains.Meanwhile, most of the vice-captains received either B or C ratings.Lucas and Beatrice both received B ratings, and while the vice-captains were still being graded and getting B’s and C’s, those behind them began to feel nervous, seeing that even people stronger than them were already dropping lower than expected.However, for the envoys, it was hard to believe that there were so many talented people among this batch of mages from the Five Kingdom Continent, because of that most of the envoys from other locations have already come over to wait for when all the grading would be finished.Pale and Katie received C and D ratings respectively, while Sophia and Endrick both got C grades, this came as a shock to Pale that they both have the same gra

The moment they saw his result, the three men in charge of reading it out couldn’t immediately find the right words to say, even the head envoy who had led their group couldn’t help letting his usual smile fade when he noticed how hesitant they were to announce the grade, he started to feel that maybe Alec had one of those unusual grades that surpassed Takeda.It wasn’t until they finally found their voices and read it out that he understood why they had stalled.Alec Gordons—the winner of the competition, the one he had placed in third, had somehow been graded as a mage with F-rank potential, though he didn’t particularly like Alec, however; he had never imagined the boy would end up with anything lower than Dragov.“Does he have some kind of hidden injury that has worsened over time and damaged his foundation or did he use performance enhancing drugs which is making it impossible for him to advance further? Because what else could make someone be graded as F-rank talent?” the head e

“Step onto the testing machine.”All of the mages who had come from the Five Kingdom Continents couldn’t help but gather together as they followed behind the lead envoy, they had finally arrived at the grading zone on the island, but many of them couldn’t help feeling nervous.As they walked, the other three envoys then began to explain that each of them would be given a piece of land to govern, along with something called a Lord Token, and they would be responsible for taking care of the humans under their territory. There were other concerns as well, such as having to worry about attacks from abyss lords, though they were told not to be overly concerned about that, since it was mostly the lords stationed at the edges of the wasteland regions who had to fight off such invasion almost all the time.They were also told that in this realm, the Blood Moon War had become far more advanced, it happened on the last day of every month, but unlike the large-scale battles between countless ar

Students were violently coughing blood on the ship, and even the few who weren’t looked no better, with their faces pale and strained, after the ship entered the massive space portal that had opened in the middle of the Grand Royal Arena, everything changed.The envoys told them to hold on tightly to anything they could on the ship, at first, many of them only gripped the ship casually.That was until the space turbulence began and everything started to shake violently, at times, the ship even flipped upside down, yet no matter what happened, the three envoys standing at different points of the ship, along with the lead envoy controlling the ship, didn’t look concerned about the students’ fate at all.They were more focused on keeping themselves rooted in place whenever the ship turned, as the ship twisted and lurched, many students lost their grip and nearly got thrown off, but luckily, a few quick-thinking mages managed to prevent the worst from happening.Even Alec had to let go of

Before morning came, the people of Estonia City had already buried their dead, and the moment they saw Alec, many abandoned the thought of burning the goblin bodies. Instead, the various clans that had participated in the war gathered the corpses their own members had been responsible for killing and handed them over to the Gordons Clan,hoping to get something out of it, just like during the auction. In truth, they didn’t even care if it wasn’t as rewarding as that, they simply wanted the Gordons to owe them one.Since they could all tell that the Gordons Clan was on the rise, many of them now wanted to be allies rather than neutral bystanders, regardless of what their intentions were, Alec told his grandfather to accept everything, and none of it should be wasted._ _After that, he explained to the old man how he would soon be leaving for the Origin World and everything that came with it. When George heard this, he was actually all smiles, which was very different from what Alec ha

“What is he trying to do?” Zack asked, though he wasn’t speaking to anyone in particular, but even the other two beside him didn’t reply.That alone showed how engrossed they were in watching Jake's battle, and it wasn't only then it was just of the military personnel present.Though battles had already started in almost every corner of the battlefield with gunshot ringing everywhere, however; most of them were still heated one-on-one clashes with only a few deaths so far. Even the Mohawk guy from Region D, whose name is Magna, only had one kill to his name.And Jake, whom they had expected to lay low after managing to avoid being cornered, had actually done the opposite.Jake, on the other hand, had done a long and careful analysis of who he should take out first, on one side there was the Juggernaut, which he immediately removed from the equation because it would definitely take far more than two or three bullets for his shots to become critical.The main issue was that he wasn’t s

While Jake was running around like some cockroach that simply refused to die, those watching just couldn’t help but be drawn toward the small Lancer mech that had already taken down two mechs and was currently sitting in first place.As of right now there seems to be an agreed silence pact among them all as they just kept watching as if they were trying to figure out how the chase would end.Many of them had not believed Jake would be able to accomplish anything, much less with a Lancer mech. However, after he killed the first mech, the E region guild leader had opened his mouth to claim it was just luck as the distance was too far for the victim to react and that it would run out now that his location had been exposed, however many of them present understood what it means to be able to take apart your opponent from that far, the battlefield never gives the chance for the opponent to get ready.Yet before the man could even finish bragging Jake had still gone on to kill the second me

“Isn’t he the one who awakened a Common talent?” One of the guild leaders from Region E turned and asked the military personnel from the E region, and they confirmed it by nodding, and the guild leader immediately started laughing about it. His behavior made Zack extremely pissed, but he held back his anger and continued watching, if there was one thing Zack understood, it was that despite the way the man had asked the question as if he were merely curious, that wasn’t all there was to it.There had been an ulterior motive behind it, for those in Region E, they simply liked picking on Region F for everything, almost as if they didn’t want them to progress.Almost as if the fact that they could bully someone weaker made them feel better, by mentioning that Jake was only a Common ranked-talent super soldier, the man had managed to undermine what Jake had just done._ _However, while all of this politics was being played out, Jake had finally started his own business, he swiftly moved

Zoooom!!!!The first sound Jake Fernandez heard the moment he placed the VR pod on his head and lay back was a machine-like hum, almost as if some type of system was coming alive.He was sure the VR pod had some way of connecting to his Hanger System, though now that what he had wasn’t really the Hanger System anymore, so he was hoping there wouldn’t be any problems.However, it seemed he had been overthinking it, because nothing went wrong, and it looked as if the darkness he surrounded by was just the stimulation system coming online, because in the very next second he found himself standing in a dark Hangar showroom,lit only by soft white-bluish LED lights that blinked slowly around the space, and before him stood his two mechs, he could also see the empty slot on the right where his third mech was supposed to be, but since he didn’t have one yet, it remained vacant.Then an indicator appeared before him, as if asking him to choose which mech he wanted to deploy first, funny enoug

After Aiden had picked his weapons, Gideon went next, he also chose an RPG 6, since his weapon affinity was Missile , and the RPG 6 was literally one of the best low-rank missile type battle weapons.Because of its explosive perks, it was a weapon that not only dealt high damage, but could also damage everything within a small radius of the point it struck.So if the person being targeted was only trying to dodge slightly out of the way, they were practically making a joke of themselves, because the only real way to avoid the damage of an RPG was to not be in its path at all.Also, if there was someone else standing close to the target, that mech would also be caught in the blast because of the explosive effect, and sometimes, if the weapon was upgraded to make it strong enough, it could even destroy the second mech standing close as well.And just like Aiden had collected two copies of the weapons he chose, Gideon did the same with the RPG 6, claiming that there wasn't any other Miss

The misunderstanding Gideon had been holding onto was finally cleared after the captain's present explained how Jake was entitled to the mech, yet he still looked like he had just eaten a fly.All this time, he had believed that the Ares mech displayed at the front was meant for Aiden. However, after his outburst earlier, he realized it was actually an inheritance left to Jake by his deceased parents.Now, as he watched Jake prepare to scan it, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy, he had always seen Jake as the weakest among them, and while that might still be true in terms of talent, a mech like Ares could change things.At their current level as one-star pilots, Gideon knew that if Jake used it properly, defeating him might not be so easy, but then he remembered something—Jake didn't have a weapon affinity.That thought instantly made him feel better, convincing himself that despite having two mechs through inheritance, Jake was still nothing more than a weakling with a us

“Your Majesty, if we do not receive reinforcements within the next three days, we may lose this battle,” one of Jerome’s Tier 1 captains spoke urgently, addressing the brooding Jerome as he sat upon his throne.The entire J-Clan Kingdom had been thrust into a state of war ever since the capital had been attacked. At present, they remained in the dark about the identity of the assailants or the kingdom from which the attackers have originated, as no kingdom insignia or flags were present on the black armoured warriors. It was a surprise assault that even King Jayden could have never foreseen, as the attackers had managed to strike without revealing their allegiance.Undoubtedly, they possessed some affiliation, yet one thing was certain: the invading army did not belong to any of the forces within the Wastelands. As none of the Wasteland kingdoms possessed nor the army or the capacity to mount such a grand-scale assault, targeting not only the main kingdom but also attempting to di

“Arrrgh! Why? How could you all allow this to happen?” The Orc chieftain’s voice reverberated through the throne room as he paced angrily, his bare chest heaving. Outside the massive window adjacent to the throne room, three immense images of grieving Orcs that had two stars revolving around them were displayed.The more he gazed at the images, the stronger his urge grew to clench his hands in his hair and pull them out in frustration.Although three Tier 2 kingdoms under their rule had been swiftly destroyed without resistance, it felt as if the battle had been between a child and an adult, the chieftain demanded an explanation for their rapid defeat.While all three kingdoms had suffered destruction, it was evident that the first to fall was indicated by the Orc image on the verge of disappearing above that particular kingdom.The loss of the Goblin kingdom, that was previously responsible for handling distasteful tasks they wished to avoid, had already stung when Jax decimated it.

As Lyra slowly advanced, the other Orc that had survived with the Orc captain was already sweating. However, when he glanced sideways, he noticed his leader making hand signals indicating that he had to make a run for it, but the orc hesitated; as he didn’t want to make himself Lyra’s next target, but the stern stare from his leader made it clear that rejecting a direct order meant certain death. Caught between the archer and his captain, he knew he had no choice.Their line of work was inherently risky, as they ventured into enemy territory without support, however, this mission had proven to be a complete failure. And it no seemed there was no hope left for their squad, with only two members remaining. With a nod, the orc signalled that he understood the plan and was prepared to proceed, this elicited a smile from the orc captain, who then gave another hand signal, counting down from three.As soon as he reached zero, the other orc swiftly got up and attempted to flee, Lyra’s

Silently, a group of ten Orcs emerged, encircling the remnants of the destroyed Goblin kingdom, and concealing their presence, their objective was to gather intelligence about the kingdom, or race that had dared to attack the Goblins kingdom, and was also capable of annihilating them before aid could arrive. These ten Orcs were elite spies dispatched by the Orc empire.While they possessed a smaller stature than the main Orc warriors, this reduction in size did not diminish their strength, in fact, they remained just as formidable as their larger counterparts, relying on their swiftness to compensate, while equipped with lighter and more nimble weaponry, they eschewed the heavy arms typically favoured by other large Orcs.“Move out!” commanded their leader, urging them to close the distance to the walls of the Goblin kingdom as the pass through boulders, their current position hindered their ability to gather information, obstructed by the towering walls constructed by the Goblins.

The news of Jax’s successful obliteration of the Goblin kingdom had rapidly spread throughout the J-Clan kingdom. King Jayden wasted no time in dispatching numerous message birds to the subordinate kings under him, officially announcing Jax’s victory over the Tier 2 Goblin kingdom at the border.While others might have been oblivious to Jax’s recent exploits, King Jayden himself couldn’t deny that he wasn’t well-informed about Jax’s movements. Though the Orc empire may still be unaware, but King Jayden knew that it wouldn’t be long before they gathered the intelligence that Jax and his army were responsible for the destruction of the Goblin kingdom. And when the news would inevitably make its way back to the Orc empire, they would then disseminate it further, therefore, Jayden wanted to ensure that he spread the news from his own kingdom before the Orc empire had the chance, starting with his children and the other general kings under his rule.–When Jessie received the messag

The Orc kingdoms near the area were not the only ones to catch wind of the situation of the wailing Goblin and realised that the Tier 2 Goblin Kingdom had been destroyed; some of the human kingdoms situated close to the borders of the Wastelands also became aware of what was happening.Meanwhile, in the capital palace of the J Clan, King Jayden gazed out of his window watching the image of the wailing goblin in distance, though his spies had yet to deliver any messages, but he felt no need to wait for their reports to understand who had initiated the attack on the Goblin kingdom, leading to its demise.After all, only Jax had sent him a letter declaring war, and he was the sole human king who had made recent movements with his army. King Jayden had initially anticipated that it would take Jax days to conquer any kingdom of his choosing, however, he had never expected Jax to completely destroy another Tier 2 kingdom. Jax had accomplished something that most of the other Tier 2 human
