Bastard Son
The grand auditorium of Hunter Academy filled with forced applause as the headmaster called a young man dressed in a fitted black academy uniform trimmed with silver lines to step onto the podium to receive his award.Holograms displayed the rankings of the top students, flashing brightly for all to see, and right at the very top of the class was this same young man's name. Cain Wright.Cain walked onto the podium.He should've been proud to have made it to that position, but all he felt was emptiness as whispers crawled through the crowd."How did he even get that spot?" one of the students said. "His potential is garbage.""No matter how well he does in training, it won't matter if his Awakening is trash.""There's no if." Another snorted. "With his potential, he's definitely going to awaken with a low-tier ability. His fate is sealed."Cain, on hearing the whispers and murmur, kept his face expressionless.He had heard it all before.His potential, the genetic cap that determined h
Awakening Day
A sea of 1,000 elite students from various prestigious academies had gathered in the city's Grand Coliseum for the Awakening Ceremony, while millions more tuned in worldwide to watch.The air crackled with anticipation, the weight of destiny pressing upon every young soul waiting for their moment.Bright spotlights illuminated the circular platform at the center, where the future of humanity would be determined. Multiple Awakening Pillars lined the arena floor, allowing for efficient testing throughout the day and ensuring that every student would get their chance.The event was prestigious enough to draw the most powerful figures in the world—S-Class heroes, high-ranking guild leaders, and government officials—all present to scout promising talent.Among them sat Leonard Wright, the legendary hero himself, alongside elite guild representatives, their eyes locked onto the stage, eager to claim the strongest awakeners before their rivals could.This was where the strong were revealed,
Last Place
[Ability Acquired: Celestial Might (S-Tier)]The coliseum detonated with cheers and applause."An S-Tier?! He really awakened an S-Tier! No way!""Adrian Wright... he's... he's a legend!""Leonard's bloodline is truly divine!"The entire coliseum was filled with shock and awe. For the first time in a long time, someone had awakened with an S-Tier ability.Cain inhaled sharply, his jaw tightening as he watched. He had expected something like this to happen, but seeing it in person was far more upsetting.Adrian slowly descended, his eyes burning with newfound power. Having awakened an S-Tier ability, his body would gradually begin to change, filling with power until he was as strong as an S-Tier Hunter.The transformation wouldn't happen immediately. But even now, the aura Adrian gave off was enough to make Cain shiver where he stood.Leonard Wright, now on his feet, strode forward, his presence commanding, his golden cloak billowing behind him. With the pride of a king surveying his h
Rock Bottom
Cain trudged through the city streets, his mind numb from the humiliation at the Awakening Ceremony. As he moved along the neon-lit sidewalks, hushed murmurs followed him.Passersby glanced his way, some whispering behind their hands."That's him, right? The guy from the Awakening Ceremony?""Yeah... Cain Wright. I heard he got a rare low-rank E-Tier skill. Must be humiliating.""What a joke. How can someone from the Wright family be that weak?"Cain gritted his teeth, his fingers curling into fists. He forced himself to keep walking, ignoring the quiet laughs and pitying glances.The ache in his nose made every breath painful, but it was nothing compared to the hollow pit in his chest.He just wanted to get home, lock the door, shut the world out, and figure out his next move.But as he approached his apartment, his steps slowed. Something was wrong.The entrance door wouldn't budge.He tried his key, but the door wouldn't open. Then he noticed the new locks, the metal glinting coldl
A Wild Gambit
Cain followed the coordinates into the lower district, a notorious stretch of the city known as Neon Row. He moved through the bustling streets, his soaked hoodie clinging to him, his body shivering from the relentless chill.Laughter, shouting, and the occasional blast of music filled the air, creating an almost overwhelming sensory overload. Street vendors peddled cheap food under tattered awnings, and groups of rowdy drunks stumbled between establishments, their revelry masking the darker dealings taking place beneath the surface.It was the perfect place to conduct illegal business.Cain kept his head low, his hood shadowing his face. He blended into the crowd with practiced ease, just another nameless figure among the late-night wanderers.The Guild Association had eyes on places like this, hunters watching for the faintest sign of a shady deal.One wrong move—too cautious, too tense—and he'd draw attention.The Guild Association was usually watchful of people his age in these st
The Serum
Five hunters in sleek suits, their insignias gleaming under the neon lights, advanced swiftly toward the table where the dealer and buyer sat with practiced precision, their weapons drawn."Damn it."Cain cursed under his breath and quickly withdrew to his seat.How did he not expect the Guild Association agents to be on the move? If he had been able to find the dealer, wouldn't the Association be able to do the same?He should have seen this coming."You're surrounded! Don't even think about running!" one of the agents barked, a dagger glinting in his grip as he stepped forward.The dealer stiffened, his breath hitching as he stuffed the package back into his coat. His gaze snapped to the buyer, who, unlike him, remained unnervingly calm. Then, in a flash, the buyer struck.A ripple of mana burst out in a sharp, precise explosion, and the approaching hunter barely had time to react before he was blasted off his feet. His body crashed into a nearby stall, shattering wood and sending f
Ember Isle
Cain woke up choking as a wave of heat hit him, stealing the air from his lungs and making it hard to breathe.His body jerked upright on instinct, his hands digging into the ground beneath him—only for a sharp, searing pain to spike through his palms as he realized he was pressing into burning sand."Shit!"He hissed and yanked his hands back, heart pounding as he scrambled onto his knees, trying to make sense of what was happening.The air around him wavered from the heat, making everything look blurry and unsteady. His throat was dry, and his tongue felt rough and uncomfortable.Where… where the hell am I?Cain muttered under his breath as he forced himself to look up, only to be met with an endless stretch of scorched land. The earth was cracked and dry, jagged rocks jutted out at uneven angles, and patches of blackened ground spread across the terrain like something had burned it down to its very bones.In the distance, heat waves rippled endlessly under a merciless sky, the sun
First Kill
Its speed caught Cain off guard, and he barely managed to react in time, his body moving on instinct as he threw himself to the side.The creature shot past the spot he had been standing in a second ago, its claws scraping harshly against the ground as it skidded and twisted mid-motion with unsettling control.Cain scrambled back to his feet, his breath coming out sharp and uneven as his eyes locked onto it, his mind racing to make sense of what he was dealing with. But before he could process it any further, a screen suddenly flashed into existence in front of the beast.[Cinder Rat. Rank-E]"Cinder Rat," Cain repeated under his breath, the name settling uneasily in his mind.The creature wasted no time charging at him again, its movements just as fast and aggressive as before, and this time he didn't hesitate.He immediately turned and ran because there was no way he was stupid enough to try fighting it barehanded.And as he ran, another screen flashed into view, this time directly
Hero Candidate
Cain took a couple of steps back, his grip tightening around the blade as his eyes moved across the growing number of creatures."What the hell… why are there so many?"They began to move, slow and cautious at first as they circled the fallen body of their kind, their glowing eyes flicking between the corpse and Cain as if assessing the situation, but the moment they picked up on the slightest hesitation in him and recognized their numerical advantage, their behavior shifted, the caution fading as they started to close in with growing confidence."Yeah… not happening," Cain muttered under his breath as he made his decision, turning and breaking into a run because there was no scenario where facing that many at once ended well for him.If it had been one or two Cinder Rat, he might have risked it, but a dozen was nothing short of suicide.His boots slammed against the scorched ground as he pushed forward, forcing his body to move despite the heat pressing down on him and the ache build
Final Target
Thick smoke spread across the clearing, swallowing a pack of Cinder Rats, the uneven sound of skittering claws echoing from within.A figure moved through the haze with steady purpose, appearing only for an instant before vanishing back into the smoke. His blade flashed again and again, each strike followed by the dull thud of another body hitting the ground.The Cinder Rats couldn't fight back.The smoke swallowed their vision, leaving them disoriented and blind, while the figure moved with quiet certainty. Through one of the abilities this figure possessed, every living thing around him burned bright in his awareness, their heat signatures standing out clearly against the shifting haze, allowing him to track them with ease and bring them down before they could even register his presence.One by one, they fell, and in a matter of moments, only two Cinder Rats remained.The figure stepped forward, emerging from the smoke in a faint surge of heat.His outfit clung close to his body, da
