Chapter: Chapter 221The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th

Chapter: Chapter 220When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im

Chapter: Chapter 219Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?

Chapter: Chapter 218Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa

Chapter: Chapter 217Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you

Chapter: Chapter 216Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.

Chapter: Chapter 649The tunnel was completely pitch-black.Commander Oliver walked alone into the deep earth. The silence was heavy. It pressed against his ears like thick water. His heavy combat boots made no sound on the smooth stone floor. He moved like a ghost.Half of his face was covered in smooth, black Wraithborn metal. His right arm was completely alien. The dark magic from the black coin had eaten his human flesh. Glowing purple veins pulsed inside his dark, metallic skin.He was walking toward the Overlord. He was walking toward the end of the world.Suddenly, Oliver stopped. His cold, gray human ear heard a sound. It was very faint. It was far behind him.Crunch. Scrape. Crunch. It was the sound of heavy boots stepping on loose rocks.Oliver did not turn around. He did not ask who was there. He instantly raised his silent sniper rifle with his left hand. He aimed it backward over his shoulder, perfectly tracking the sound in the dark."Halt," Oliver commanded. His voice was flat, cold, and m

Chapter: Chapter 648The giant spiders stopped climbing. They clung to the walls far below the blue bridge, out of range of the plasma rifles.They turned their ugly heads downward. They aimed at the cracked rock shelf where the remaining ninety civilians were still waiting to climb."Commander!" Vega shouted. "They are aiming at the bottom shelf! They are going to spit acid on the people waiting in line!"Oliver processed the new variables in one millisecond.Variable A: The spiders are out of optimal firing range.Variable B: If they spit acid webs on the shelf, ninety civilians will die instantly.Variable C: I must neutralize the spiders without destroying the rock shelf."Cease fire," Oliver commanded the soldiers."Cease fire?!" Davis yelled in panic. "Sir, they are going to kill them!""They will not kill them," Oliver said flatly.Oliver stepped onto the glowing blue hard-light bridge. He walked out over the massive, empty drop. He stood directly above the trapped civilians.He looked down at the

Chapter: Chapter 647Vega raised her gun. She aimed across the dark abyss. "Aiming.""Fire a piton bullet," Oliver commanded. "A heavy spike."BANG! Vega fired. A thick steel spike shot out of her gun and slammed deep into the solid rock wall across the canyon."Perfect," Oliver said.Oliver reached into his belt. He pulled out one of his last silver Anchor-stabilizer discs. He tied the thick copper cable securely around the silver disc.Oliver then did something impossible. He threw the silver disc across the massive, two-hundred-foot canyon.His black metal right arm was not human. It had the strength of a Wraithborn Goliath. He threw the heavy disc with the power of a cannon.The disc flew in a perfect, straight line. It hit the steel spike that Vega had shot into the far wall. The magnetic lock on the disc clicked. It stuck to the spike.Now, a thick copper cable hung directly across the canyon, forming a tightrope high above the trapped civilians."The line is set," Oliver said smoothly. "Billy. Turn

Chapter: Chapter 646The bullet flew through the bright blue light of the reactor room. It was a simple piece of heavy metal. But Commander Oliver had calculated its path perfectly. He calculated the speed of the bullet. He calculated the wind from the cooling fans. He calculated the exact microsecond Captain Iris would press her thumb down.The bullet did not hit Iris in the chest. It did not hit her beautiful face.CRACK! The heavy bullet hit the small red detonator perfectly in the center. The red plastic shattered into a hundred pieces. The wires broke. The detonator was completely destroyed before Iris could push the button.Iris let out a terrible, unnatural scream. It was not her voice. It was the ancient, booming voice of the Overlord.The dark god realized his bomb was broken. He could not blow up the planet. The trap had failed.The sick, dark purple veins on Iris’s neck suddenly vanished. The glowing red fire in her eyes went out. The Overlord dropped her mind, retreating back into the dark e

Chapter: Chapter 645Oliver stepped forward in the pitch-black tunnel. He moved straight toward the charging giants.He held the silver Anchor disc in his left hand. The disc was connected by copper wires to the glowing blue Volt-Hound spine that Rax was carrying behind him.Oliver did not use a gun. He did not use his knife. He ran the math of kinetic energy. “Force equals mass times acceleration.”The center Goliath swung its massive bone sword blindly in the dark.Oliver slid perfectly under the swinging sword. He moved with robotic grace. He stepped directly in front of the center Goliath."General Vega," Oliver whispered into the radio. "When the light flashes, shoot the copper wire in my left hand.""Shoot the wire?!" Vega gasped in the dark. "Commander, you are holding it! The explosion will kill you!""Shoot the wire," Oliver repeated flatly.He slammed his black metal right fist directly into the Goliath's thick steel chest armor. He didn't punch to hurt it. He punched to grab it. His strong met

Chapter: Chapter 644"We can't fight like that!" Sergeant Miller argued. "It's like fighting in a strobe light! We won't be able to see the enemy!""You will not need to see them if you follow my rhythm," Oliver said coldly.He turned to the squad."Listen to my exact orders," Oliver commanded. "When the lights are on, you may move. You may aim. You may shoot. But the exact microsecond the lights go out, you must freeze. You must not take a single step. You must not pull the trigger. If you shoot in the dark, you will hit your friends.""Freeze in the dark?" Davis asked, trembling. "But what if a monster is right in front of me?!""If you move in the dark, the monster will hear you," Oliver said flatly. "If you stay perfectly still, the monster will have to guess where you are. We are going to synchronize our squad responses to the pulse. We will become ghosts in the dark, and killers in the light."Oliver looked at the glowing blue spine of the dead Volt-Hound resting on the floor."Rax. Pick up the ener

Chapter: Chapter 128The broken earth still smoked from the last clash, and the cries of the wounded hung faint in the air. Yet no one moved. No one breathed. Every soldier, every priest, every king, all stared at the figure of black fire that had stepped from the east.It was not whole. It was not finished. Yet it stood tall, crowned in flame, its body shifting like smoke made flesh.And when it spoke, the world shivered. “You cannot kill what is not finished.”The words slid into every ear like knives. Men cried out, clutching their heads. Some dropped their swords, stumbling back. Others turned and ran, their screams tearing across the field.The kings shouted, their voices desperate. “Hold the line!” “Stand, you fools!” But their words carried no weight. Fear moved faster than command.Priests fell to their knees, chanting broken prayers. Some wept, some tore at their robes, others stared at the shadow with glassy eyes, whispering, “It is the end. It is the end.”The line buckled. The army was breaki

Chapter: Chapter 127The drums did not stop. All through the night, they beat. Slow, heavy, endless. Each sound rolled across the valley like thunder, rattling armor, shaking bones.When dawn broke, the horizon burned black. The sky glowed as if it had been cut open, spilling fire darker than coal. From that fire, shapes began to march.The shadow host.Soldiers rose from their blankets, their eyes hollow with no sleep. They gripped spears and swords with trembling hands. Some prayed aloud, whispering the names of gods. Others kissed small tokens, rings, cloth, bits of home, before fastening armor with pale fingers.The kings argued even now.King Alaric shouted hoarse. “We cannot face this! Pull the banners back! Save the men while we can!”Queen Seraya snarled at him. “If we run, we are already dead. Do you not see? The shadow will chase us to the ends of the world!”Lord Brennar struck the table with his scarred fist. “Enough! The men need leaders, not cowards. If you flee, then flee. But I will stand.

Chapter: Chapter 126The march east did not grow easier. Each day the air grew heavier, darker, as if the very sky bent low with dread. The land was sick beneath their feet. Ash drifted over fields where no fire had been. The rivers they crossed ran black, thick as oil, and the priests whispered that the water carried curses.Soldiers grew silent. At first, they marched with songs and cheers. Now they moved with bowed heads, their boots dragging, their voices hushed. Every sound felt swallowed by the land itself.On the seventh day, they found a village burned to nothing. But unlike the others, this one held no corpses on the ground. Instead, the air carried whispers. Faint, chilling voices rose from the ashes, as if the dead still begged for water, for mercy, for life.The soldiers froze. Some clutched their ears, others fell to their knees. A priest cried out, “The shadow binds their souls! This is Vazquez’s work!”Mason stood in the center of the ruin, silent, his silver eyes scanning the ash. His s

Chapter: Chapter 125The messenger’s words still hung in the tent like smoke. “The east burns. Vazquez’s remnants gather. The shadow is not dead.”No one moved. The kings sat frozen, their crowns heavy on their heads, their eyes wide and pale. The generals stared at the messenger as though the words themselves were poison.It was Queen Seraya who spoke first. Her voice was low, sharp as a knife. “Then all our arguments mean nothing. If the shadow marches, none of us can stand alone.”King Alaric snarled, his hand clenching the table. “And you would put us all under him?” He jerked his chin toward the camp outside. “That… creature who walks in fire?”“Creature or not,” said Lord Brennar, his scarred hands steady, “he is the only one the men will follow now. You know it. I know it. Deny it if you wish, but the fire has already crowned him.”The tent erupted again. Voices clashed, curses flew, pride and fear filled the air like smoke, then the flap opened, and Mason entered.He did not storm in. He did not s

Chapter: Chapter 124The fire shuddered. The great column of flame, tall as a tower, trembled as though it would tear itself apart. Sparks burst in every direction. The heartbeat thundered, faster, stronger, rattling armor and splitting stone.Men screamed. Women wept. Some fell to their knees, pressing their foreheads into the ash. Others stumbled back, hands over their faces, crying that the fire would consume them all.The priests raised their arms higher, their voices shrill. “The Saint is here!” they shouted. “The Flame Eternal rises!”But even their cries cracked with fear, for the fire shook like a living beast ready to break free.The column of fire began to fold inward.At first it sank slowly, as if collapsing under its own weight. Sparks spiraled down, drifting like burning snow. The glow dimmed to gold, then to red, the edges shrinking smaller and smaller.A whisper spread through the crowd. “It’s fading. It’s over. He’s gone again.”Some soldiers sobbed in despair. Others sagged in relief, b

Chapter: Chapter 123The altar was gone. In its place stood fire. A column of flame towered from the earth, white at its heart, gold at its edges, sparks falling like embers of a forge. The light blinded the valley, brighter than sun, searing the eyes of all who looked upon it. Heat washed over the battlefield, heavy and suffocating.The heartbeat shook the ground again. Once. Twice. Steady, louder, stronger. Men fell to their knees, some in awe, others in terror. Priests shrieked and wept. Kings shielded their faces with their cloaks. Soldiers cried out to gods old and new. The flame pulsed. Shadows leapt and twisted across the broken stones. For an instant, shapes seemed to move inside the fire. One priest cried out, his eyes wide and wet. “I see him! The Saint walks with wings of fire!” He tore at his robe, beating his chest with bloody fists. “Bow! Bow before the Flame Eternal!”Another priest laughed, wild and broken. “No! Look! A crown of light rests upon his brow. He is the king of fire, ruler o
