I already knew that my life was about to take a turn for the worse when I saw the headlines on today's broadcast.Year 2050Blossom City, South KoreaWORLD RECORD NEWS: Humanity discovered the ‘World’s weakest Mage in existence’Dexter Pembroke a grade E with 1 stat.I became popular all of a sudden, I was known to be the weakest among the weak, I became a laughingstock. An awakener who doesn't know his talent. And so I was given the nickname ‘The Talentless Awakener’ . I was no doubt at the bottom of the food chain and to top it all. I was super broke, having no parents to run to and was left with a little sister to care for.We exist in a world where Mages and monsters exist. However as bittered enemies, the monsters seek to eat our flesh meanwhile the Mage hunters kill them and make money from doing so.Mages and monsters had existed decades ago, Monsters came from another dimension through ‘Portal’. These portals released a surge of mana that spread throughout humanity, it affected one third of humanity and then people started experiencing changes in them which was known as ‘Awakening’ it's a stage where a Mage discovered his Talent (magic).They all awakened with one talent with different levels of potential, which was ranked with grades. Grade S, A, B, C, D and the weakest E which was also very rare. Not all Awakeners were Mage hunters, some decided to live a simple life, others were too scared to fight monsters.Being an Awakener, not to mention a Mage hunter was a blessing. You receive compliments and special treatment wherever you go, you get paid in millions by the government and you get a lot of valuable items. As long as you have a high grade your future would be guaranteed no matter who you are.But I on the other hand was the opposite, I had to hide the fact that I was even a Mage, when even the mage academy wouldn't accept me anymore, if there was anything worse than ‘Useless’ that would be me.Even the mage academy kicked me out.“I'm going to say this for the last time Dexter Pembroke. I don't want you coming back to the mage academy ever again” The academy master declared.“What? But why me, why so sudden?” I asked with a shaking voice.“I’ll be honest with you Dexter, the longest time an awakener had been in the academy before finally becoming a hunter is eight months. But you have been here for five whole years and you haven't made any single improvements. Your stats is immobile, stuck in 1, I'm tired of seeing you everyday!”“But at least I'm paying for the tuition fee”“If that's your problem I'll give you a refund, but we don't want people thinking our academy is a joke having someone like you. You may leave” he gestured at the door.I walked out, hearing the tauntings of the other mages. I think at this point my future isn't guaranteed. I'm just as normal as a regular human, my awakening was a joke.

THE END
I stood at the edge of what remained of the battlefield, staring at the ruins of the universe I had fought to save. The stars were slowly beginning to reappear in the dark void, like candles relighting after a storm. My body ached in ways I couldn’t describe, every muscle screaming in protest after the battle with the Abyssal Sovereign.But I was alive.For the first time in what felt like an eternity, I allowed myself to breathe. The weight of the universe—the literal universe—was no longer crushing me. Still, the victory felt hollow as I looked around at the destruction left behind. Planets had been reduced to dust. Civilizations, wiped out in the blink of an eye.It was up to me now. The system’s voice echoed faintly in my mind, its presence weaker but still there."Rebuilding Protocol Activated. Universal Restoration Initiated."I didn’t ask questions. There was no time for questions. With what remained of my energy, I focused, drawing on the fragments of the Sovereign’s power tha

Dexter tumbled through the void, his senses overwhelmed by the sensation of freefall. Darkness engulfed him until, with a bone-jarring impact, he landed on an obsidian platform. He groaned, pushing himself to his feet, only to find himself in an enormous chamber illuminated by swirling energy—red, black, and violet hues pulsated like a heartbeat.At the center of the room stood The Architect, their mask now removed to reveal an unnervingly calm face. Their eyes burned with a malevolent light as they addressed Dexter.“You’ve impressed me, Dexter. Few have made it this far. But you’ve only scratched the surface of my designs.”Dexter tightened his fists. “Enough talk. This ends now.”The Architect smiled, their demeanor unsettlingly serene. “Oh, it will end. But not in the way you think. You’ve been a mere pawn in this game, and it’s time to introduce the king.”The chamber shook violently. The swirling energy began to coalesce into a single, blinding point above them. Dexter shielded

The helicopter ride was a brief reprieve from the chaos they had just escaped, but the tension in the air was palpable. Lila worked furiously on her tablet, attempting to decrypt the data drive, while Marcus cleaned and inspected his weapons. Dexter sat in silence, his fists still clenched, staring out at the dark expanse below.“Anything?” Marcus asked Lila, breaking the heavy silence.“It’s encrypted six ways to Sunday,” Lila replied, her voice taut with frustration. “Whoever set this up didn’t want it cracked.”Dexter’s voice was calm but firm. “We’ve faced worse. Keep at it.”Lila nodded, determination etched on her face. “I’ll need time, but I’ll get it.”The helicopter touched down at a safehouse several miles from the smoldering remains of the Blackwell compound. It was a nondescript building, tucked away in a dense forest and surrounded by state-of-the-art security measures. As they entered, the weight of their mission pressed heavily on them.Inside, the safehouse was surpris

The team sprinted through the collapsing compound, the air thick with smoke and the deafening roar of explosions. Alarms blared, and the ground beneath their feet trembled with each detonation. The Architect's forces weren't just retreating—they were ensuring the base was destroyed, leaving no evidence behind.Dexter led the charge, his enhanced reflexes allowing him to dodge falling debris and navigate through the chaos. Behind him, Marcus kept pace, covering their rear with precision shots that took down pursuing guards. Lila and the rest of the team followed closely, their expressions a mix of urgency and determination.“Extraction point is two clicks east,” Lila shouted over the noise, her voice crackling in Dexter's earpiece. “But we’ve got a problem. Drones are back online, and they’re swarming the area.”Dexter gritted his teeth. “Then we take them out. Keep moving!”As they emerged from the main structure into the open, the sight that greeted them was grim. A fleet of aerial d

The sun was still low on the horizon when the team arrived at the edge of the target area, hidden by a dense line of trees overlooking the sprawling fortress. Blackwell’s main base was far more fortified than anticipated. Towering concrete walls surrounded the compound, with razor wire coiled along the top and watchtowers armed with automated turrets and spotlights that swept the area in precise intervals. Beyond the walls, armed guards patrolled in squads, each equipped with cutting-edge gear.Dexter crouched behind a cluster of shrubs, his sharp eyes scanning the compound. Lila's voice crackled in his earpiece. “Thermal imaging confirms over a hundred hostiles inside, with reinforcements stationed in nearby barracks. The Architect has upped the ante. There’s heavy artillery on the north and west sides, and drones patrolling the airspace.”Marcus, crouched beside him, muttered, “This isn’t a base—it’s a fortress. They’re expecting us.”Dexter’s lips curved into a grim smile. “Let the

The cold night air clung to the dense forest as Dexter and his team made their retreat from the captured facility. Their convoy was waiting at a safe distance, hidden under the cover of thick trees and underbrush. Inside the SUVs, the tension was palpable. Kane and his accomplice were restrained, their wrists bound tightly with reinforced cuffs, their mouths gagged to prevent any further attempts at manipulation.Marcus sat beside Dexter in the lead vehicle, his brows furrowed in thought. “The Architect… If Kane’s not bluffing, this changes everything. They’ve already infiltrated deep enough to create chaos on multiple fronts. It’s not just about us anymore.”Dexter leaned back in his seat, his mind racing. “We’ll analyze the data we pulled from the servers. Somewhere in there is a thread we can follow. The Architect made one mistake—they’ve revealed themselves. Now it’s just a matter of time.”Marcus nodded, but his unease lingered. The Architect’s reputation was whispered in dark co
