Zrrrrrrrt!The electricity-infused whip crackled as it wrapped around the hulking minion, yanking it toward him with crazy force. The sheer momentum sent the creature soaring off its feet, its massive frame was utterly powerless against the pull.Just as the minion reached the halfway mark, his electric surfboard came out of nowhere, cutting through the air with blistering speed. In a blink of an eye, it sliced cleanly through the creature’s torso, cleaving it in half before it could even comprehend its fate.I was stunned.What precision and mastery. He looked young, but the way he wielded that electricity-powered gear spoke volumes of his experience.And then, there was that smirk. A wide, almost predatory grin that surfaced each time he ended a minion’s life.He was enjoying this.His official superhero name was Thunderlash. The last time I saw him was right after I defeated Ant Goliath, but since then, he had completely vanished from my radar.Now, my system kicked in, flashing a

Suddenly, the Forever Pikes erupted with a surge of golden electricity dome completely shielding the three of us and all the minions within range. "Incinerate..." Golden blast of energy fired from the pikes, taking out the minions inside the domain one by one. The domain prevented other minions from coming close to us but the ones inside could very much exist the domain in retreat. "Nice..." I muttered. It was quite the feat, the ability of the Forever Armor to instantly adapt to any situation that presented itself. At this pace, becoming an S-Class was inevitable. In a matter of seconds, the minions inside the domain were either dead or had retreated outside of the dome. The herd perched outside the dome, trying to force their way in. Each time they came in contact with the golden electrified dome, they were met with a terrifying shock. Thunderlash and Ice Blast recovered from the brutal assault, I could feel their stares heaving at me as the acknowledged my competence. "Th

He released another wave of killing intent. I don't know why he kept doing that, it wasn't like as if it was affecting me or anything. Maybe it was a result of his never ending need to show dominance. Fear.Suddenly, the ground trembled, accompanied with the loud rumbling of footsteps. I glanced backwards and Thundlash and Ice Blast were actively engaging in a raging battle with the upper ranks of Gravehowls minions. Gravehowl moved like a bullet train again, squeezing his club tightly. My system warned me about the possibility of his incoming attack and I knew just what to do. "I know!.." "Skill: Destructive Domain!"Foooop! Foooop! The Forever pikes immediately deployed and planted around me, creating a small domain just about 11meters in diameter. [Forever Pikes Deployed][Active Skill: Destructive Domain]A few seconds later, Gravehowl slammed down with his club. Slam! Bam! Bam! Powerful, fearsome attacks rocked the earth as he landed several heavy blows in quick success

Three days had passed since the Gravehowl incident. My mom came home early from the Lab seeing that it was a Saturday. As soon as she entered the apartment, I heard a sound of amusement coming from the door. She hurriedly rushed into the kitchen without taking off her shoes. "Lamb?! Is that Lamb I smell? Please tell me it's Lamb!" I knew her favorite food had always been roasted lamb and mashed potatoes since I began to read. "Yes ma'am, I ordered some food from the restaurant up the street on 14th. I'm glad it got here just in time for you". I said turning around to meet the gleaming, big eyes of my mother. She had dark circles under her eyes from a lack of sleep, rumpled clothes and a shaggy appearance. How could you blame her, she has been working overtime since the Gravehowl incident as new patients and laboratory tests kept pouring in. She held the entire financial burden of the household and that alone was enough to cause sleepless nights, let alone watching out for her s

A few weeks, thats all I had left. My meeting with the ISA officials; Dr. Holtz and President Viola had gone about as well as walking into a lion's dem wearing an antelope clothing. Holtz had questions I couldn't answer, President Viola had eyes like a hawk scanning for weaknesses, and the presence of Thunderlash and Ice Blast? That was no coincidence. They knew I was powerful. And now, the countdown has begun. The next reassessment day hung like a meat attached to a dogs view, letting it constantly reach for it. I trained harder at the abandoned warehouse than ever before. If I failed to prove myself, they'd revoke my license and toss me into the ranks of rogue meta and I'll continue to remain on their target list to hunt down. To label me as a threat to the world I swore to protect. I couldn't let that happen. I didn't want to just pass the reassessment, I wanted to dominate it. I wanted to walk into that evaluation and crush every expectation they had. No more hiding beh
