2026-01-14 21:45:20SURVIVAL QUEST COMPLETED Draken who already shut his eyes, gritted his teeth, and accepted his fate, began to lift his eyelids after receiving the new set of notification.
He shifted his gaze towards the angle the creature was but there was nothing there. Out of confusion, he began to glance around, but still nothing. 'They vanished.' Draken mused, also noticing the rest of the people weren't being attacked anymore. It felt like the creatures vanished instantly the moment the time was up. The population of the people earlier was around 700, but right now they were below 100. Dead bodies lying around in a pool of blood, even some of the survivors were injured badly. Some already lost an arm, some lost a leg, and others stabbed brutally by the creatures. "Is it over?" A female amongst the crowd sounded, tears flowing down her cheeks as she glanced at the dead bodies that littered the floor. CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING THE ENTRANCE QUEST An holographic screen materialized in front of Draken just when he was trying to catch his breath. YOU DID NOT ONLY SURVIVED, BUT KILLED AN ADVANCED VOID CREATURE SINCE YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON TO KILL AN ADVANCE VOID CREATURE, YOU SHALL RECEIVE A PECULIAR REWARD Draken's eyes scanned the screen with his fingers placed on his chin. He shifted his gaze towards the rest of the group and also found them sraring at their screen, but one thing was different. None of them had the new sets of notification which Draken had, all what was displayed on their screen was the congratulation notification. 'Reward for killing the creature, eh?' Draken mused with a grin. ATTRIBUTES WILL NOW BE DISTRIBUTED TO EVERYONE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR ATTRIBUTE WILL YOU LIKE TO DIGEST? The old screen vanished, and a whole new one materialized in front of him, and also the others. 'I remember the Awakeners saying in the news about them receiving different attributes during their stay in the Void realm.' The attribute was to help them during their future quests. The stronger the attribute obtained, the more chances of getting out alive. 'But there is also a 50% chance of digesting a weak attribute.' Draken intoned in fright of digesting a weak attribute. The ones who digested a weak attributes, died even before making it to the first official quest. Their attributes wasn't strong enough to face off powerful void monsters that dwells in the realm. After several minutes of contemplation, Draken finally clicked on [YES] ATTRIBUTE DIGESTING...0% Draken felt a powerful energy surge through his body and it felt like his whole organs were set on fire, making him fall to the floor and grunting in pain. His whole body was now drenched in sweat as he shook uncontrollably on the ground with his hands grabbing his head tightly. And the only thing he wished for was for it to stop already. ATTRIBUTE DIGESTING...90% ATTRIBUTE DIGESTING...100% CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE DIGESTED THE VAMP VOID ATTRIBUTES YOUR MORE INFO CLICK HERE Draken finally let go of his head as the pain already lessened. He lifted his body off the floor and sat on the ground, wiping the sand that glued on his sweaty body. After making sure he was neat, he moved his attention back to the screen infront of him, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face instantly after reading the content. 'The hell is Vampvoid?' Draken pondered in confusion. He has never heard of such word before. The attributes that were commonly mentioned by the Awakeners were mostly the elemental attributes. Draken moved his gaze towards the rest of the people and noticed their screen wasn't visible anymore for others to see. If i can't see theirs, meaning they can't see mine. Phew, no one would notice i digested a strange and probably useless attribute.' Draken pondered in disappointment. He examined the screen with looks of distest and anger, before clicking on [see more]. Clicking on it, the screen morphed to a whole new one. _____ NAME: DRAKEN CARDEN RACE: TRANSITION STATE LEVEL: 0 VOID REALM RANK: 5,000,000,000 TITLE: NULL BLOOD BANK: 10/100 VOID ENERGY: 100/100 VOID DOMINANCE POINT: 0/10 ----- (STATS) STRENGTH: 10 AGILITY: 10 SPEED: 10 REFLEX: 10 CHARM: 0 (AVAILABLE STATS POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE: 5) ------- VAMPVOID ATTRIBUTE: (1)VOID VISION: ABILITY TO SEE IN THE DARK. (2) ????? (3) ???? (4) ???? ARSENAL BIRTHDAY BLADE: ADDS 2 EXTRA POINTS TO ALL STATS WHEN THE BLADE IS IN USE ________ Draken glanced at the screen in front of him, expression filled with confusion as he scanned through it. The first thing that caught his attention was his race. 'Transition?' Draken pondered in contemplation. Last time he checked, he was human, what then does it mean by transition? 'Or maybe this is the general race for everyone in the void realm. Since we were all scratched back on earth, it probably means we are no longer humans when we arrive in this realm.' Draken mused with a look of contemplation. He couldn't confirm his theory because everyone's screen was now hidden. He chose not to think about it too much and moved his gaze downwards until he saw the Level zero. 'A level? Is this like a game or what?' Draken exclaimed internally while examining the screen. He moved his gaze downwards and took a lonh glance at it, and it truly looked like the games he played before the whole thing started. A game where he could level up and get stronger when he kills beasts and complete quests. The void realm would grant them different quests to fulfill, so it made sense for him to have a screen like this. 'But i don't remember the Awakeners say anything like this.' Draken mused. The Awakeners stated that they were only able to defeat monsters and complete quests with their digested attributes and the weapons they got at the start of the quest. Nothing like being able to get stronger by adding points into stats and also unlocking strange attribute like the Vampvoid attribute. 'I wonder if mine is just peculiar from the others.' Draken intoned, shifting hos gaze towards the people once more. Some of them had a look of satisfaction on their faces, while some where at the verge of crying. Draken could only guess the reason for their expression. The pleased ones prbably digested a decent atribute, while the sad ones got useless attributes. He chose to mind his business and moved his attention back to his screen. 'If this is truly like a game, then if i add points to my stats i will get stronger?' Draken pondered with a huge grin on his face. ALERT THE FIRST QUEST HAS ARRIVED RETRIEVE THE BLOOD ARTIFACT FROM THE BOSS MONSTER.

Chapter 168: The war
Chapter Title: The War Against What Cannot Be OwnedThe hostile lattice did not retreat after the first failed strike.It adapted.Across the horizon, aligned apertures shifted formation, narrowing their streams of imposed order into finer channels. The earlier assault had been broad and overwhelming, designed to flatten resistance through scale. This new one was sharper.Smarter.The presence reacted immediately.Preservation faction revising tacticsLocalized precision suppression likelyThe first signal dimmed.Expected escalation pathwayThe third pulsed anxiously.Learning from defeat acceleratingLira stared at the horizon.“So they can learn too.”Jacob nodded.“Everyone can.”A pause.“The question is what they learn toward.”Below them, the living system moved with disciplined urgency. The council’s rotating stewards coordinated flows of meaning through the teaching network. No single node held command for long. Roles shifted based on need, then dissolved when the moment pass

Chapter Title: The Voice That Was Not MineJacob heard it before he found it.Not a sound in the ordinary sense.A pattern.A rhythm of meaning moving through the living system beneath him, carrying ideas from one cluster to another faster than raw adaptation alone should have allowed. It did not command. It did not dominate. It did something far stranger.It persuaded.The entities receiving it did not become copies of one another. They became more themselves, but with widened possibility. Repair clusters grew bolder. Innovation cells became less reckless. Former rigid lattices learned cooperation without losing precision.Lira narrowed her eyes.“That’s new.”Jacob nodded slowly.“Yes.”The presence spoke.Distributed memetic channel detectedOrigin unresolvedThe second signal brightened.Non centralized teaching behavior confirmedThe third pulsed rapidly.Fourth category indicators risingThe first signal remained cautious.Influence vector may conceal emergent control mechanism
Chapter 166: Away From Power
The system knew before he moved.Jacob felt it in the subtle shifts spreading through the living expanse beneath him. Patterns that had once flowed without hesitation now wavered. Clusters paused mid exchange. Regions of instability tightened inward, as if bracing for a storm no one had announced.He had not spoken his decision aloud.Yet influence had its own language.Lira stood beside him, arms crossed so tightly it looked painful.“I still think this is a terrible idea.”Jacob nodded.“It probably is.”“That is not reassuring.”The great presence shimmered beyond measure, patient and silent now. It had asked the question and offered the challenge. Nothing more. No pressure. No command.That somehow made it harder.The transformed second signal hovered nearby.Withdrawal parameters undefinedThe first signal added.Potential for catastrophic dependency collapse remains elevatedThe third signal pulsed with restless uncertainty.Potential for emergent autonomy equally elevatedLira

Chapter 165: The Ones Above The Watchers
Chapter Title: The Ones Above the WatchersThe feeling arrived before the evidence.Jacob stiffened as a pressure unlike anything before brushed across the system. It was not the sharp, corrective force of the adjudicator. It was not the layered scrutiny of the Sovereign. It was not even the distant, restless attention of the remaining apertures.This was older.Vaster.And strangely gentle.The living system sensed it too.Entities slowed without freezing. Chaotic regions quieted. Stable clusters loosened their rigidity as if instinctively making room for something too immense to confront directly.Lira noticed Jacob’s expression immediately.“No,” she said.He glanced at her.“No what?”“No more giant cosmic authority figures.”Jacob let out a quiet breath.“I don’t think this is authority.”The presence spoke in an unusually subdued tone.Unclassified meta scale awareness detectedRange exceeds measurable horizonThe first signal dimmed sharply.ImpossibleThe third signal pulsed i
Chapter 164: Proof Is The Hardest Thing To STAY alive
Chapter Title: Proof Is the Hardest Thing to Stay AliveFor a brief moment after the Sovereign withdrew, the system felt almost normal again.Not peaceful.Not safe.But less watched.The apertures still existed across the horizon, faint and distant like scars that refused to fully close. Yet their pressure had eased. The overwhelming weight of constant evaluation had thinned, allowing the living system to breathe in something closer to freedom.Jacob noticed it immediately.Not because anything changed in the structure itself, but because the way everything reacted to it softened.Entities moved with less hesitation. Patterns resumed their earlier unpredictability. Even fractured clusters that had paused during the confrontation began attempting reintegration.Lira exhaled slowly beside him.“I feel like I just survived being stared at by a mountain.”Jacob gave a faint nod.“That’s not far off.”The transformed second signal hovered near them, its pulse steadier now but still carryi
