[ 3…2….1…. Integration Complete, Strongest System is now online ]

Rhys stared at the blue screen in front of his eyes in shock.

If not for the screen, Rhys would have genuinely doubted if his conversation with Dreavon was even real? However, the system screen in front of him was the irrefutable proof that it indeed happened.

Rhys read the system features with great attention as he proceeded to click on the here option under the list to get an even more in-depth explanation of the system features.

More or less, the system in its current state had six main features with the highlight being the daily missions and rewards that the system would give out to shape Rhys's foundation.

It was a lot for Rhys to take in at once, he had lost his sister, met a mythical god, awakened as a Ascender and received a system in less than 24 hours as his life had quite literally been turned upside down in an instant.

He would be lying if he did not feel great about having awakened as a Ascender, as ever since he was a kid that was the only thing that he could ever dream of.

The only reason why he was not at home and was at his friend's place for new years was because, coincidentally new years was also the same day as he turned 18 and since most Ascenders were chosen the same day that they turned of age, Rhys was incredibly nervous of whether he would be chosen or not.

Since he did not wish to run around the house with nerves, showing a vulnerable and nervous side of himself to Violet, he decided to crash at his friend's where he could be anxious at ease.

Little did he know that in his absence their house would come under attack by unknown assailants and his sister would be kidnapped.

It was unfortunate, but like Dreavon said, he no longer had a choice in this mess.

Violet had chosen Rhys to inherit the system that she could not and now it was his best shot to save his sister from whatever mess she was entangled in.

"This is so fucked up-" Rhys said as he placed his head in his palms, with his voice prompting Emma who was sitting just outside the medical ward, to come in and check on Rhys.

"Look who woke up! Good Morning." She said in the most formal sounding voice ever as Rhys looked at Emma in a daze.

Judging by the position of the sun outside, it seemed to be early morning which meant that Rhys had been out for several hours at least.

A quick glance at the wall clock suggested that it was 7 in the morning, yet even at such an early hour, Emma was dressed immaculately in a medium length formal office skirt and a wrinkle free shirt and matching blazer.

She had light make-up applied on her face and her hair perfectly done as Rhys could not find a single flaw with how she looked.

"Ugh, teens." Emma said in disgust as she complained and rolled her eyes but soon smiled.

It took a lot of discipline and dedication to always look so tardy and she appreciated that people apparently did take the time to notice her efforts.

"Sorry, I've just never seen someone dressed so immaculately before who still manages to look so stunning." Rhys said honestly as the light blush on Emma's face deepened a little.

"My my, Violet's younger brother has a glib tongue.

Became a charmer after awakening?" Emma asked as Rhys was about to say something but Emma cut him off saying "Zip it playboy, I'm out of your league."

Rhys opened and closed his mouth a few times, contemplating whether or not to say something but chose to remain silent in the end.

"If you're feeling okay-, follow me, the guildmaster wants to see you.

Thankfully you have woken up at great time, he should be coming in for work any minute now and with his first meeting of the day scheduled for 7:15, I can squeeze you in without disturbing his schedule." Emma said as Rhys silently followed Emma through the massive Tigers headquarters.

Although it was just 7:05, the Tigers headquarters was bustling with activity at such an early hour, as Rhys passed by many famous Ascenders in the guild halls, apparently returning from breakfast, training or a meeting.

'Oh my god that's Scott the wall breaker'

'Oh my god that's Scarlet the pyromancer'

'Holy crap that's Voodoo Vaugn, crap I just made eye contact with him'

Rhys gawked and observed every single adventurer walking through the guild halls as he felt absolutely star struck to see them in the flesh.

Growing up, he had only seen them on television as they live casted their legendary raids and difficult floor master fights, however, observing them for real felt surreal.

However, what was more important than watching them was observing the behavior of all the adventurers when Emma passed by, as even the bulkiest and strongest adventurers moved out of her way and greeted her good morning when she passed by.

Despite being a non-Ascender and clearly a weak mortal, Emma was the big bully within the Tigers guild and Rhys was awestruck to observe her in her natural element.

"Has Ren shown up for work yet?" Emma asked the clerk at reception who affirmed that he had just walked in a minute ago, as Emma led Rhys straight to his cabin where she barged in unannounced.

"The kid woke up"she said, before leaving Ren's office as the poor guildmaster who had just entered his office and was yet to even take his seat felt slightly awkward to have a visitor before he had even settled in.

"Right…. You could have told that to me alongside a good morning sir? Couldn't you?" Ren complained as Emma reopened the guildmaster's cabin, poked her head in, glared at the strongest adventurer on Earth and said "WORK STARTS 7:00 SHARP.

CHECK YOUR CLOCK!" before slamming the door shut once more.

Rhys had shivers all over his body, as this was the exact tone that Violet and his mother used when they were pissed and apparently Ren had some too as he seemed genuinely scared for his life in front of a harmless secretary.

"Women…"he muttered under his breath softly as although he retaliated, he did so in a way that his voice did not carry outside the office and fall into the sensitive ears of his secretary outside.

    Rhys returned to the university for nourishment of young talents and instantly caused a stir.Since Mama Chun and Baby Chun were not stored in his soul space and were rather roaming in the open, their sudden appearance in the university grounds took many by surprise.[ Ice Breath ]Almost as soon as Mama Chun appeared in the university in her massive polar bear form, a few clueless students tried to attack her thinking she was a rogue monster and were turned to ice statues instantly by Mama."Easy there Mama, don't kill them" Rhys pleaded as he stored Mama Chun in his soul space, while grabbing the small and cute Baby Chun in his arms."What is this place? Where are the trees?" Baby Chun asked, as it looked extremely surprised to see an area which was not a forest.Having been born in the origin realm 'Vorithra Slyithen', baby Chun had never seen the tower or the real world.For him, the entire universe was a forest and hence when he saw this new terrain for the first time, he felt ov

    Rhys stood in silent contemplation, weighing the pros and cons of each path and while the [Path of the Titan's Fury] was tempting, offering raw power that could easily crush his enemies, after a lot of contemplation Rhys decided that he needed to think beyond just raw strength and that he needed balance, strategy, and the potential for growth.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he made his decision. He reached out and picked up the scrolls for the [Path of the Grand Sage] and the [Path of the Dragon Slayers] as he felt that the strategic wisdom of the Grand Sage combined with the evolving power of the Dragon Slayers would make him a formidable warrior, capable of adapting to any challenge.As he picked these two choices, Rhys looked at the third scroll, the [Path of the Titan's Fury], with a pang of regret.He knew it would have made him incredibly powerful, but he also knew that his choice needed to be more well-rounded and since he could only choose two, he had decided to ch

    Rhys stood in the feathery room, his eyes fixed on the five scrolls before him. Each scroll represented a unique path, each with its own advantages and challenges.While all five paths offered attractive choices, in the end he could only choose two of the five which was why he needed to choose very wisely.After thinking for a while, Rhys decided to make his decision by the process of elimination, as he eliminated the scrolls least suitable for him first, so that he could focus on the ones he really wanted with a clear mind.First, he considered the [Path of the Tempest Blade].The ability to harness the power of the wind, to strike swiftly and almost invisibly, was incredibly appealing. However, he knew that while he had decent agility, it wasn't his strongest suit.Relying on sheer speed and precision in combat wasn't his preferred style, if he had learnt anything after fighting Durban it was the fact that agility wasn't everything in swordsmanship as while Durban was nowhere near a

    While Rhys contemplated his choices for the sword path he was going to choose as his reward, two other massive upgrades were silently bestowed upon him, unbeknownst to him at the time.Firstly, his non-physical attributes were being enhanced in real time as his body's nervous system, including all the nerves and the synaptic connections in his brain, received a significant upgrade.While the first tier promotion test had improved his physique, muscle, and bone quality, the second tier promotion test focused on enhancing attributes such as Dexterity, Intelligence, and Stamina.Rhys could now perform precise movements with remarkable accuracy due to his enhanced nervous system.The improvement allowed his brain to send signals to his muscles more efficiently, enabling him to execute complex and delicate maneuvers with ease.Every motion, from the flick of his wrist to a full-body pivot, became more controlled and exact, giving him a crucial edge in battles where precision was paramount.

    Once Rhys defeated Durban, he felt his bloodlust not dying down at all as he could not calm down after that blood pumping fight that he just had.As if turning into a demon possessed, he looked for the next strong opponent that he could face to possibly continue feeling this rush of beating death, however, as he started to look for the next opponent, the ship and his surroundings began to fade away into small granules of dust as if they were never real matter and were just an illusion from the start.Soon, he returned to the fluffy feathery room where he once was, while the injuries that he suffered over his body during the fight against Durban began healing rapidly as if they were fake too.To him it felt like he had just cleared a game stage and he had been returned to the previous floor after the boss raid was over, However, this was the real world and not a game, which made the fight he experienced all the more bizarre."Was it all just an illusion?" Rhys asked the Griffin-Like cr

    Finally, as they reached the spot where Rhys wanted to lure him. Rhys cast a [Fire Wall], creating a blazing barrier that forced Durban to step back.The flames provided a brief respite, allowing Rhys to assess the final weak points of the last rope and the precise angle of the masts fall, as the plan he initially envisioned was finally nearing its conclusion."You think this fire will stop me?" Durban laughed, leaping through the flames with a predatory grin.Rhys retreated, his heart pounding as he guided Durban with every step, positioning him perfectly.With one final, desperate effort, Rhys slashed the last critical rope and cast [Wind Wall] to control the mast's collapse.The mast creaked and began to tip, its immense weight groaning against the weakened supports as it was at that moment that Durban's eyes widened as he realized what was happening, but it was already too late.The spot he was standing on was precisely the area where the mast was falling and he did not have the n
