2025-06-01 16:00:36Councilor sat on a carved wooden chair in the library. In his hand was a book of the fallen protocols. He opened the first page and it read, “When truth threatens power, the powerful call it rebellion.” He grunted and sneered as that statement struck him to the core. He closed the page of the book aggressively. ‘What the hell?’ He grinded his teeth as the reality of his schemes struck him in the face.
………Kai’s eyes fluttered open after the long sleep. The enforcers had already returned him to the cold floor of the third-degree prison when they saw he was already recovering. His body was heavy and bruised even though he survived the attack against the giant. The battle with the giant replayed in his mind. His victory and the crowd’s silence. As he thought deeply,Then the system ping echoed again in his consciousness. Kai's attention was drawn.‘Mission: Expose Councilor Vane’s Corruption.’Kai's breath slowly puffe

Chapter 26: The Sword of Infinite Flame
Kai’s heart was made-up to defeat his enemy and prove them wrong. The trial had begun. The first level of the Pit of Pride loomed as a fierce battlefield beneath Ironsphire Academy. its high ceilings echoed the intense growl from the monster within.Before Kai was a single creature. But it's stature, Kai could tell that it carried the weight of six.The Shadow Beast Form Alpha lunged with an aggressive punch. It's form was shifting intermittently. Kai could see its tentacles morphing into blades while the smoke around it hardened into claws. It howled with fury, its eyes glowed like molten lava.Kai exhaled and braced himself. “You’ve made it this far, Kai. Don’t let their lies define you.” He echoed within himself as he moulded his palm into a fist.He charged forward as his fists blazed with power. The two collided like a thunderstorm. Dust erupted within the arena as their fists hit one another on impact. The monster roared
Chapter 25: The Pit of Pride
Kai returned to the training arena, wiping his hands as he walked in, only to find Councilor Locke and Mordax Rex waiting with stony expressions.At a glance from a distance, Kai's face shrank, ‘What is the problem? Why are they staring at me in that manner?’ He thought within himself as he took steps closer. He couldn't wrap his head around what could be going on.Councilor Locke’s eyes narrowed. “Where have you been since the start of the training section, Kai?” His voice was harsh and cold. A rare reaction from the councilor Locke. Kai was taken aback by his words and he couldn't wrap his head around what the problem could be. “I went to ease myself,” Kai answered truthfully with innocence. He expected that Mordax would speak for him and he nodded toward Mordax. “I took permission from my trainer.”Councillor Locke was surprised with Kai's expression. He paused for a moment, a sort of confusion wrapped around his face. Cou
Chapter 24: Beneath the Mask
The next morning, the sky over Ironsphire Academy became seemingly dark as students gathered at the battle arena. All eyes turned toward Kai who walked in with quiet confidence. The air around him hummed with tension while his head was bowed. Across the field stood Collins, his fists clenched and his eyes narrowed in hate.He growled, “I’ll wipe that smug look off your face, Kai.” His voice was sharp. Kai heightened his gaze. He glanced at him from head to toe but he didn’t reply. He stood firm and his expression was unreadable.The students who stood to watch started whispering excitedly. “There’s no way Collins is winning.” One of them said, “Kai defeated a Level 8 combatant! He’s unstoppable.” Another said. Councilor Locke seated in the high viewing box and he leaned forward just to watch the battle. His sharp eyes scanned Kai thoughtfully. ‘Who exactly is this boy? And why are the students speaki
Chapter 23: Shadows in the Light
‘I feel at peace. This victory is by far the sweetest I ever had.’ Kai half-smiled as his eyes glinted across the people that were celebrating with him. Kai walked out of the battle arena with pride. The blood of Councilor Vane was still fresh in the soil behind him, but his shoulders were light and it was freer than they he had ever felt, maybe because he had just gotten justice for his mother. The moment he stepped into the open, a surge of cheers met him. Students who once sneered and looked away now surrounded him. They celebrated him like he was a legend reborn.He gave them a small nod, and he smiled faintly. For the first time in his life, Kai wasn’t invisible. He felt seen.He returned to his dormitory. In his dormitory, he barely had time to settle when Xiren Wren arrived and her expression was unreadable."How… did you do it?" she asked quietly as she sat across from him.Kai looked at h
Chapter 22: Rise of the Will
Kai gently breathes, "The will to rise is stronger than any system protocol." He muttered slowly as his eyes fixed on Councilor Vane.Councilor Vane's face twisted in rage. "Die!" He echoed in desperation to end Kai, and he lunged himself aggressively at him like a thunder bolt filled with enough fury. Kai watched as he moved. He steadied on his feet and he didn’t flinch or panic. His eyes were clear, fierce and unshaken. Because he had walked through death’s gate and returned with something stronger than the Ascension system protocol- purpose and will to survive. Councilor Vane’s strikes came fast and swift.Kai dodged sharply. Yet Councilor Vane gave another hit but he blocked it and stepped back.Then, a flash of memory buzzed his mind. He remembered now Councilor Vane stomped on his chest. How he mocked the pain of losing his parents. Even though he ordered their execution. But then, Kai remembere
Chapter 21: The Dreamland Trial
“The power was never the Ascension protocol. It was always you.” A voice so thick and heavy echoed in Kai's head.Kai's body was broken and bloodied in the battle arena. He laid still while Councilor Vane cheered in victory.But somewhere else, Kai's soul stirred. A warm breeze caressed his skin as his eyes opened to a strange and beautiful horizon. As he opened his eyes, above him was the sky which was beautified in soft gold and indigo hues. The ground was soft and It doesn't seem real to Kai. He stood slowly, wincing while his body was still aching from the pain that felt all too real.‘Arsh!’ He groaned in pain. But as his eyes glimpsed around, ‘This wasn't the arena,’ He thought in his head as struggled to understand what was happening. ‘This place… is somewhere else.’ He mumbled to himself as his eyes gleaned thin. As he tried to catch his breath, he felt a sudden pulse tore through the air. “AHH!” He groaned in pain. H
