Chapter 107: Breaking the Bully
That night, as he lay on his bunk, the system’s voice returned.“Mission Complete: Break the Chain+2 Ascension Protocol Levels.Current Level: 13.New Ability Unlocked: Aura Reversal – Reflect up to 30% of absorbed damage back to the attacker for 5 seconds.”Kai exhaled slowly. The path was clear. Each tormentor would fall, and when Henry’s turn came, there would be no escape.And somewhere in the depths of the system menu, a new mission flashed.“Next Objective: Shatter the Golden BoyTarget: Henry Voss.Reward: Classified.”…………..…..……………The cold morning mist still clung to the southern highlands as Vanguard Base stirred to life. Steel boots pressed hard against the training yard’s soil, and barked orders echoed between stone barracks. Kai stepped into the open grounds. The black Obsidian Legion training coat hung loosely over Kai's body. The sharp insignia of a recruit stitched onto his chest. He felt the stares, half curiosity and half contempt.And then came the familiar voi
Chapter 106: Breaking the Chain
The Obsidian Legion’s southern drill yard was a cauldron of sweat and intense body drilling. Boots slammed against hardened dirt. Swords clashed with intense brutality. And at the far end, a group of soldiers gathered. It was not for training, but for something more...Kai stood at the center of it.Word had already spread he had beaten Lance Corwen in front of the entire base and humiliated Nina Graves so thoroughly that even her snide whispering had died. But Henry Voss still walked through the Legion like an untouchable king. His shadow was longer than most, because his superior, Captain Aldric Kaine, was the real power behind him.Aldric wasn’t just a captain. He was the power of the southern highlands. He's a decorated warlord whose scarred face and deep voice could silence an entire platoon. He was also known for defending his favorites, the Henry chief among them.And today, Kai had decided to break the chain.Kai didn’t wait for a sanctioned duel. He found Aldric in the midd
Chapter 105: Precision Strikes
The southern highlands burned under the midday sun as they cast long shadows across the Vanguard Base training yard. The clang of steel, the bark of commands, and the smell of iron with sweat clung to the air.Kai stood at the center of the sparring ring, his black combat uniform still creased from the early morning drills. Soldiers crowded the perimeter, murmuring with barely concealed excitement. The word had already spread that Kai was challenging Sergeant Lance Corwen.Lance, the smiling snake.For weeks, he had been the invisible hand pulling at Kai’s footing, planting false intel in his mission briefs and sending him into dead ends that earned the ridicule of the squad. Twice, his sabotage had left Kai returning empty-handed while others succeeded. Lance always wore the same infuriating smirk, the look of a man who knew his position gave him immunity.Today, that smirk would be gone.“Sergeant Corwen,” Kai called out in a steady voice that cut through the yard like a blade. “You
Chapter 104: The Way Beyond Protocol
The moon was nothing more than a sickle of pale light, hanging above Ironsphire Academy like a watchful eye.Kai crouched behind the shattered statue of an old war hero. Xiren Wren pressed close beside him. The wind carried the scent of moss and dust, the air was sharp with the unspoken risk of what they were about to do.“Library security rotates every thirteen minutes,” Xiren whispered, her eyes scanning the environment ahead. “If we move now, we will make it to the west wing before the patrol swings back.”Kai’s heart pounded. It was not out of fear, but out of the bitter urgency that had been gnawing at him since the System revealed its new requirement: Level 11 demands high-level missions and spiritual cultivation. Missions, he could earn with his blood. Cultivation… that was why they were here.The forbidden section of Ironsphire Library was more than off-limits, it was practically a death sentence to trespass. But somewhere beyond its barred gates lay the sealed book titled, Th
Chapter 103: Shared Struggles
The barracks felt colder than usual, although the heating vents still hummed in the corners. Kai sat at the end of the long mess table. His meal was still untouched and the pale steam curling upward like the last breath of his pride. Mud still clung to his boots from Gregor Flint’s accident yesterday. Every clump of dried dirt was just a reminder that he was still stuck at the bottom.The mess hall door creaked open, and the room seemed to tilt.Xiren Wren stepped in. Her dark braid swayed behind her. Her sharp eyes scanned the room and finally met his. Xiren sighed, remembering how they dealt with Ironsphire trials together. Now they softened slightly when they found him. She was dressed in the standard Legion grey, yet it seemed to shrink against the weight of the dozen that stared long at her. Whispers spread like spilled ink."That’s her…" A voice sounded. "The girl who fought beside the Protocol boy.""Looks like she downgraded her standards." another replied.Nina Graves sat
Chapter 102: The Whispering Shot
The southern highlands wind cut sharp against Kai’s skin. Each breath he took in was like a blade in the lungs. Vanguard Base was made with steel and stone carved into the mountainside. Here, past victories meant nothing and titles were discarded like broken armor. In the Legion, you weren’t what you had been, you were what you could survive.Kai’s boots sank into the frost-hardened dirt as the morning whistle shrieked. It was the Drill day, an obstacle course trial. There were rows of recruits, both fresh and seasoned, all were lined up at the starting gates. And among them was Gregor Flint.Gregor was taller than most of the soldiers there. His shoulders was like a siege wall. His hands were like shovels, and he wore a stiff face that rarely moved except to grunt. His armor bore dents that looked like they had been carved by axes, and the way he stood was immovable.Gregor didn’t speak much, but his views were plain. Protocol users like Kai were “soft” people who hid behind glowing
