Carl was silent for a while as he gazed at the blue screen with deep scrutiny. The Long Term Quest that he'd been waiting for was finally here. There was something odd about this particular quest! It had a death penalty for failure!However, Carl didn't flinch. He understood the risks behind this path that he chose to trial through. He wasn't afraid to die. But he wasn't planning to die either.After exploring the entire features of the System for several straight hours, Carl felt so exhausted. He yawned as he dove into the comfort of his bed, his eyes closed.Soon he drifted off to sleep.— — —In an office inside the Hero Bureau main headquarters!The silhouettes of two men were revealed inside the office adorned with an intricate interior decor. One of the men sat on a chair behind the desk, while the other man stood in front of him—his head lowered in a respectful manner.The former had grey hair, and a kempt and well trimmed beard that framed his face. Although the grey-haired m

[Name: Carl Reed][Race: Human][Age: 16][Title: None][Job: None][Rank: E (Level 6)][EXP: 275/540][Energy: 40/40][Strength: 35][Agility: 30.3][Constitution: 30.5][Intelligence: 20.5][Attribute Points: None][Skill Points: None][Coins: 0]—Strength, Agility, and Constitution stat were far ahead of Intelligence stat, with a whooping thirty something points each.Currently, Carl clearly understood why he felt so powerful and full of adrenaline earlier. It was simply because his current stats points had far exceeded the previous stats points he had when he'd first awakened and binded with the system.He flexed his muscles involuntarily, and instinctually clenched his palm tightly into a fist. Veins bugled across his arm, surging with immense power! Adrenaline coursing through his veins!Just thirty-five points in his Strength stat and Carl was already this strong? He wondered how powerful he'd become in the future when his stats points eventually reached the three digits thres

This left Carl with [Dash]—his ultimate escape and speed boost skill currently, and [Detoxification]—that could help him increase his resistance to poison or toxic substances and gases, during battle. And last but not the least, [Minor Regeneration]. This skill increases his survivability in battle. It helps to reduce the rate at which he bled while faced off in a heated battle. It also increases the ability for him to recover his lost stamina… and even vitality. [Minor Regeneration] could also fight off the effects of poison or toxic substances and gases, albeit at a slower rate. However, the fact lies that its ability encompasses that of the [Detoxification] skill and even more.Carl had to strike out the [Detoxification] skill, which left him with [Dash] and [Minor Regeneration]. One could increase his Agility stat and speed, and help him maneuver through attacks and dodge incoming assaults. It also served as his trump card in ensuring that he fled away from danger whenever he w

Chapter 10 - Hidden Quest Complete!DING![ERROR! ERROR!

He quietly examined the red screen with deep gazes of scrutiny.A heavy thought weighing on his chest!What if the system was damaged… or broken even!Carl collected his thoughts and tried to calm himself down. After regaining a good quality of calmness and rationality, he began to look at the system from another angle.‘Maybe this is a normal procedure? It's new after all.” Carl thought.He decided to be patient.Carl waited for a while, deep in thought. But, he did not show it. A tinge of worry hidden within the depths of his eyes. However, he refused to peel his eyes off the floating red translucent screen before him.In fact, his eyes were glued to the screen int

A new blue screen popped up out of nowhere before Carl's eyes, providing a detailed information about the Fireball skill. Carl stared at the blue screen intently.—[Skill: FireballLevel: 2 Type: Active SkillDescription: Conjures a ball of fire that can be shot at targets. Consumes -2 Energy points for each ball of fire conjured.The effectiveness of Fireball and its destructive capabilities has increased. Proficiency: (15.0%)Skill points required for next level up (0/100)]—“One hundred skill points is required?” Carl was taken aback, he suddenly blunted out involuntarily. He examined the blue screen once more, deducing that the proficiency of skills were being influenced by each skill level up.Carl paid close attention to this very skill because this was the only offensive skill that he currently had within his arsenal.He mentally reminded himself to focus more on increasing the level and proficiency of this particular skill, until he was able to get a new one to compliment

[Status Window] [Skills] [Quests] [Inventory] [Shop] —“Open status window.” Carl's voice rang across the room. A blue translucent screen suddenly popped out of nowhere, displaying his Status Window.It read:—[Name: Carl Reed][Race: Human][Age: 16][Title: None][Job: None][Rank: E (Level 1)][EXP: 0/15][Energy: 15/15][Strength: 10][Agility: 10.3][Constitution: 10.5][Intelligence: 15.5][Attribute Points: None][Skill Points: None][Coins: 0]—Carl stared at the blue screen hovering in front of his eyes with deep scrutiny, a hint of curiosity evident within his gaze.Firstly, he decided to experiment on the blue screen. Carl extended his hand forward to touch it, but his fingers brushed right through it, as if it weren't there in the first place.It felt ghostly, and surreal. Yet real in every sense.“So I can't touch it physically? But I can control the panel with my thoughts?” Carl deduced as he stroked his chin lightly, as if deep in thought.Then, he examined the neat

"Oh my goodness. That man just came out from the ground!" Mr Parker exclaimed. He was filled with astonishment, at the same time he was deeply terrified. "W-Who the heck are you people?" He found the voice to question. Receiving no answers, he looked at the boys besides him. They weren't frightened, they were calm, and he could sense the glamor of hope emitting from their faces. 'How come they aren't afraid? Is he the good guy? If so, does that mean those three are the bad guys.' Mr Parker inclined to himself. He had solved the entire equations of questions hovering around his head, with the theories from novels, or movies. A certain point of a movie where the bad guys appear, and the hero makes a dramatic entrance. But he still mumbled to himself, wondering if his theory was accurate. "Even if this is the same scene. This isn't a novel nor is it a movie. This is real life. So, how did that man come out from the solid floor? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" Still floating on the valle

Vincent, Brian, and Henry and his goons were immediately summoned to the principal's office. Mr Parker was unhappy, because of what he had witnessed. "How dare them fight inside the school premises!" He said to himself, feeling really upset. He had listened to their pointless explanations, without gaining a single clue to what they were insinuating. From his perspective, he felt that they were fooling him just to get away with what they had done. And he, who he was going to punish for the incident was..."Vincent, how dare you and Brian assault a fellow student. A senior for that matter. It seems like you two now feel like you're above the school's rules and regulations." Mr Parker promptly said. "But sir.." Henry wanted to speak, but he was quickly interrupted by their principal."No buts, Henry. You and your colleagues acted out of self defense. Brian assaulted you first. So now you may demise yourselves. Leave me to these troublesome two." He responded, referring to Vincent and

At the wonder ville subway station, the train had just arrived, braking to a stop, as it erupted a rumbling sound to the atmosphere. People were already at standby, waiting for the doors of the train to open. And when it finally did, they waited for the passengers to get off, to make way out of the train, so they could board the train. As the doors of the train automatically opened, crimson liquid streamed from within the train, like a gushing waterfall, bathing the standbys in blood.Thud!An object fell to the floor of the train, rolling out of it towards a lady. "Aaahh!!" The lady screamed loudly, drawing everyone's attention to her. The people who had been so frustrated, after being soaked by the gushing red liquid, immediately looked towards where the lady was pointing out. "It's a human head!" Someone from within the crowd exclaimed, raising an alarm. "Aaahh!!""Aaahh!""Aaahh! Somebody help." A sudden outrageous scream erupted from the entire surrounding. Someone else had

The next morning, Vincent woke before the sun rose. He did some pushups and situps, exercising his body. While under the act, his alarm clock rang, he quickly stopped exercising. An alarm that was meant to wake him up, now served as a reminder that he needed to freshen up. He walked into his bathroom to take his bath. Few minutes later, he walked out of his room, dressed in his school uniform, a white short sleeved shirt, dark blue trousers, dark blue tie, a pair of white shoes and a bag hung to his back. He gently walked down the stairs, heading to the dining table. As usual his mouth was dishing out the meal. They exchanged greetings, and he ate his breakfast. He hurriedly rushed down their building, assuming that his friends were outside, waiting for him. It was when he was outside, that he remembered that Jordan was still at the hospital. His face wore a saddened expression. He surveyed his surroundings, searching for Brian. But the latter was present. "That lazy bones isn't o

A blue car drove into the compound of the care foundation hospital. The vehicle reversed to park well at the parking lot. Both doors of the car swung open, as two individuals walked out of it. A man in his twenties, who was the driver of the car, and a teenage boy. The man was dressed in a blue turtleneck sweater, red trousers and a pair of blue sneakers, matching his attire. His hair was black and curly, and his eyes were gray. The boy was cladded on a black top shirt, green pants and a pair of red sneakers. His black spiky hair was charming, and his dazzling amber eyes radiated sunlight. They both were revealed to be Nathan Sean and Alexander Vincent. They had arrived at the hospital of which Jordan was admitted in. The hospital wasn't that big, it was only a five storey block. But Its compound expanded widely, housing at the right hand side, a lot for parking ambulance trucks, and the left hand side, as the public, free parking lot. Its surroundings were adorned with flowers

Vincent's eyelids pathed open, the view that was reflected to his vision was of a hazy image. He blinked his eyes twice to adjust his retina to the brightness of his surroundings. "This is my room." Vincent spoke in a faint tune, noticing the familiarity of his surroundings. "But how did I get home?" He questioned himself, trying to put together what he could remember. "The last thing I could remember was feeling dizzy and blacking out. Aaahh! My head hurts." Vincent responded, he felt a slight ache. "It probably must be as a result of the fall. But how did I lose balance so easily? My body. It's heavy and aching. It must be from those bruises. Why can't I make out the full details of what happened."He struggled to sit-up, and it was a success after two trials. He held his head gently with both hands, bending his head to see if the memories would flow in. Eventually, he remembered all that had taken place yesterday. Ranging from the fight with Henry that bruised his entire body,

Jessica had a saddened expression written all over her face. Kevin's words had cut deeper than a knife, leaving her momentarily heartbroken.She lowered her head dejectedly, fixing her gaze on the cold floor. If only she could turn back the hand of time, then she was willing to sacrifice her happiness for the sake of her family's wellbeing. She didn't care about the consequences that came with marrying a vicious person like Jake Kingston.Jake was an arrogant and disgusting person. He was always seen in the company of several women, flaunting his family's wealth and power, and using it to prey on the weak. He changed women like he did clothes!Why would Jessica settle for someone as cruel as him?She'd thought that a simple rejection was enough to drive him away, but he came back with a pack of hungry ravaging wolves to gnaw at her entire household.Jessica despised him so much.Nolan remained standing, while maintaining total silence. He calmly watched the expression on Jessica's fac

The next morning.Nolan woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He lazily reached out and grabbed it.He picked the call and put the phone on his ear. The next moment, a deep and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line."Good morning, young master Nolan," Bob said calmly. "Hope I didn't disrupt your sleep?""No. You didn't." Nolan responded.He added candidly, "Why are you calling me this early in the morning? Did something happen?""Well, the thing is... We've collected information concerning the people that attacked you and Ms Jessica the previous day." Bob said with straightforwardness.Nolan instantly sat upright, all signs of hangover dissipated. He gently rubbed his eyes, stretching momentarily."Yeah? I'm listening." "Well, it turns out that the Black Serpent gang actually works for the Kingston family in Aurora city. Whenever the other smaller families seek help from the Kingston family, help comes in the form of these vicious and skilled hitmen. They carry out a

“Wha-”“W-what are you doing? He's not even the real Mr Wilton.” Deborah stuttered. Her eyes widened in utter disbelief and shock.Why was Alfred Knight stopping her from hitting Nolan? Wasn't he just a fake?Instead of responding to Deborah's question, Alfred raised his hand up and gave her a tight slap across the face.Smack!“This is for saying ill words against Mr Wilton.” Alfred uttered with a deep voice.The slap was so hard that Deborah almost felt like she was going to blackout. Her left cheek was slightly blushed red, stinging in pain. Smack!As if that wasn't enough pain, Alfred delivered another swift and dirty slap across her right cheek this time around.“Argh…?”Deborah yelped instantaneously.Her eyes became teary. Her legs trembled weakly. She suddenly lost her balance and crashed hard on the cold floor. She was too flustered to even think rationally.“That's for raising your filthy hand at Mr Wilton.” Alfred's deep and cold voice reached her ears. It felt like the vo

Grace's confidence skyrocketed to the roof when she saw how she had succeeded in getting everyone's full attention to herself. A grin of satisfaction cracked across her lips.Bob Knight caught wind of what Grace was trying to do. However he decided to feign ignorance and watch how she embarrasses and further humiliates herself in public.He spoke inquiringly, “What do you mean that Mr Wilton isn't exactly who he said he is?”“By chance, do you know something about Mr Wilton that you're not telling us?”Heh Heh!Grace chuckled softly as she locked eyes with Nolan. Her gaze carried the weight of her soul. It was time for her to finally exert her revenge on this good-for-nothing loser.‘Never start a battle you can't win, Nolan. This is my territory. This is my empire. I won't let you come from the gutters and try to ruin what I've built for years. Years of commitment and hard work.’ She thought to herself. ‘I know your big secret now.’ The ends of her lips curled up into a sinister smi

Meanwhile, Nolan feigned ignorance of the confusion and shock that clouded the minds of his old classmates.Deborah couldn't bear her shock anymore. She knew that she had schemed Nolan's humiliation countless times. She was scared that she'd fall under Nolan's bad list and that Nolan would take his anger and frustration out on her.“Nolan!” Deborah suddenly broke out in tears. “I have offended you a lot in the past. Please can you find a place in your heart to forgive me. I was so naive. I was only acting out of anger and hatred.”However, Nolan just walked passed her as if she wasn't there. Instead, he simply followed behind Bob Knight and the other VIPs, as they lead the way towards the seats of honor.Deborah felt a sting in here chest! Nolan had just ignored her! But Deborah didn't mind, she knew that she deserved every bit of malice from Nolan.However, before Nolan could get to the seat of honor, a woman suddenly stormed inside the banquet hall of the Grand Supreme Manor. Shocki

“M-m-mr… Wilton?” “He's actually that Mr Wilton?” Someone inquired with a defeated voice, his tone tinged with disbelief and bewilderment.“I can't believe it, myself. Why is Mr Wilton looking so shabby?” Another guest added.“I'll have you watch your tongue. Mr Wilton is not shabby. I heard that he loves to keep a low profile.” A rich heir immediately interjected.“Is that so? That's so cool.”“The members of the Knight family won't take this very likely. Mr Wilton is their very special guest, after all.”“I still can't believe that we actually just offended Mr Wilton. What will become of us?”“Only the heaven knows…” A defeated voice echoed into the depths of their ears reminding them of the cruel reality. Their stomachs clenched in dread.Everyone inside the grand banquet hall had a look of horror etched on their faces. They'd all thought that Nolan was just an absolute nobody—a good-for-nothing pauper.They still couldn't believe that Bob Knight had actually addressed the ordinar
