Awakening The Gods: System's Ascension

[System Warning] [User has sustained critical damage.] [New Quest Available – Slay the Void Reaper.] [Reward: A Breath of Life.] [Penalty: Death.] [In order to initiate the quest, please call upon the System.] The world ended the day the sky ripped open. Monsters poured through the cracks, and humanity was brought to the edge of extinction. Cities burned, governments collapsed, and those who survived had to make a choice—become hunters or become prey. Then came the ones who weren’t human. Wielding powers beyond comprehension, they tore through the chaos like gods walking among mortals. And then came the System. It turned survival into a game, offering power to Levi. He rejected it once and paid the price. Now, every battle, every kill, every level-up pulls him further from the man he used to be. The stronger he becomes, the more he wonders—is he still fighting for survival? Or is he just another monster, shaped by the very thing that destroyed his world? [New Quest Available] [Eliminate the survivors in the Safe Zone.] [Reward: +3 Levels, Skill: Phantom Step] How much of his humanity is left to lose?

Chapter: The Tides Have Changed
Two days had passed by since then. Since Reinhart and the kids had been transported to the mysterious island. After the attack from the Gorgonix, the group turned north, following Reinhart. He deliberately took a path opposite the direction the girl had come from—avoiding unnecessary confrontation with any more beasts that might be prowling in the same direction. The trees creaked quietly in the wind, but none of them said anything for a while.The only thing on their minds now was survival.Reinhart had made multiple attempts to trace the energy signatures of the other teachers and Layla, and confirm if there were other students present with them on the island. But all his efforts fall in vain.Every trial led to error. His sensory abilities were being interrupted by something he couldn't pinpoint. He also considered searching the island himself but he couldn't afford to leave the students behind without any form of protection knowing there were mana beasts present on the island.A

Chapter: Island of Mysteries
Adrenaline.An instinctual drive bent on fear and survival. As much as it could sharpen one's judgements, it could equally cloud it. It could either force the body past its limits, or pull it back from the edge.If the moment was right, adrenaline could make a man wrestle and beast, a mother lift a car, or a child pull the impossible.As Kyle and Violet watched from a few feet away, they could only conclude the hormone was at work in Levi's body at the moment. The sudden blur of movements and the narrow twist of Levi’s body, the steel just barely missing its mark—they could only assumed it was adrenaline-fueled desperation. A last-second miracle sparked by the threat of death.But Levi knew it wasn’t that.What surged through him wasn’t panic or frantic instinct. It was different. A shift in the way his body moved, responded, even breathed. They changed from being mere results of reflexes to reactions based on an analysis of his situation.All his senses were heightened.He’d felt th

Chapter: Reckless Ignorance
In life, there are people who run from danger and there are people who face it head on. Stuck at the middle are people who are magnets for danger, no matter what choice they made. Unfortunately, Levi always seemed to end up stuck in the middle.“Hey, guys…” Kyle’s voice dropped to a quiet murmur carrying a touch of reckless curiosity. “How about we go see what it is.”To Levi, the request was so outrageous he made himself believe he misheard. He turned his head slowly, looking at Kyle like he’d just suggested they go hug an electric pole.“Okay, wait wait wait.” Levi said, waving his hand. “so let me get this straight…”He raised a finger, closing his eyes as if he needed to break the logic down for himself.“There’s something or someone in the building killing people. That’s what we’re working with, right?”"Hmmm, hm" Violet hummed, giving a small nod. “Based on what I’ve picked up so far? Yeah. That adds up.”"Okay" Levi exhaled heavily, turning to look at Kyle again. “And you,” h

Chapter: Blood Demon?
10 minutes before the gathering of the teachers at Layla's office, Levi was currently locked in a moment that seemed like his life was flashing before his eyes. Raika was currently inches away from him moving at a speed even the voice of a person would struggle to follow. With an outstretched arm curled into a fist , he charged with force, aimed directly at Levi’s face. In that instant, the world slowed. Not literally, but perceptually. It was as if Levi’s brain stretched time itself to process the sheer speed and weight of what was coming. Like a man witnessing the final moments of his life.Levi was able to follow these movements. Raika’s face colored with a smug confidence. The flash of yellow sparks running around his body. But reacting was a different case, he leaned backwards hoping to dodge but it was hopeless. He reacted, but it wasn't enough. His reaction, though present, was insufficient. He knew the punch would land.All of a sudden, both of their movements came to a ha

Chapter: Shadows of Conspiration
The sound of the office door clicking open echoed faintly through the hallway as Reinhart stepped in, one hand casually adjusting his glasses. His white suit bore no wrinkles, his composure as rigid as ever, but there was, his face carrying a simmering concern he didn’t bother hiding.Before he could utter a word, Layla, seated by the large, circular window overlooking the school environment turned her chair to face him.“I know what you’re about to say,” she sighed, her voice lowReinhart paused mid-step, eyes narrowing slightly. “Good,” he replied. “That saves me some time. What in the stars are Captain Zenon and Captain Emilia thinking?”Layla leaned forward, placing her elbows on the desk as she offered Reinhart dry smile.“Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy.”"I asked the same question," She exhaled and leaned back, eyes drifting briefly toward the ceiling, as if searching for answers in its blankness. “But…” she continued, “apparently it’s more complicat

Chapter: The Son of a Pillar
As Levi locked eyes with Raika, he felt a twist in his gut. That smirk, the same smug, knowing he’d seen earlier before Reinhart interfered, told him everything. This wasn’t about a sparring match. It was payback. Raika had found the perfect opportunity to lay his hands on Levi in front of everyone, and worse, do it without consequence.Levi clenched his fists, his mind racing.“Oh come on, we both know that’s not fair, man,” Kyle said, stepping forward, his arm stretching out protectively in front of Levi like a barrier.Raika turned his head slightly, still keeping his gaze locked on Levi. “What are you talking about?” he said with a forced casual tone. “He said pick anyone. I picked. So what exactly are you yapping about?”His voice was calm, but the way his eyes narrowed betrayed his facade.“Cut it out, Raika,” Violet snapped, moving to Kyle’s side, her arms crossed, and her tone sharp. “We both know damn well what you’re trying to do.”Raika opened his mouth again, likely to fi
