2022-05-25 17:19:07Roshan immediately got into his fighting stance as he grabbed his sword.
Taking light steps toward the source of the sound.
A large pig-like creature with the head of a rodent jumped out of the bush, taking Roshan by surprise. Due to his speed and agility, he avoided the attack.
The creature looked like a giant rat, but the protruding biceps on all four limbs contrasted with its thin body, making its ribs visible. It was an ugly shape.
The nauseating smell made Roshan cringe.
“Crystal Iris activate,” he mentally said.
[Raret]
[Level 1]
[Ability: Poison]
[HP: 10/10]
Now that his Crystal Iris had leveled up, he could see the health points of his opponent.
“Hmmm… poison, that would explain this horrible stench,” Roshan thought, pointing his weapon at the growling beast.
‘Ssssssssst’ Green gas flowed from the beast’s skin pores.
[Poison detected]
[HP reduced by 5]
[HP: 195/200]
Roshan felt his energy drain as he inhaled the poison.
[HP: 190/200]
‘Damnit…’ Roshan raised his sword, ready to end the Raret, but the beast easily evaded the strike. He had underestimated it.
Taking a deep breath.
Ssssssllllllt…
A single swipe ended the beast.
[Poison attribute +1]
“Hmmm… what’s this?” Roshan looked at the attribute. This meant he could use poison now.
No answer.
“Stupid system…” he hissed.
A notification appeared in his head.

Roshan felt fresh energy pulsate through his veins.

Roshan was shocked. Was he a mage? How could he be a mage and a soldier? Was it because of the poison he inhaled?
[Would you like to absorb Beast Gem?]
He immediately agreed.
[Energy Absorption activated]
[Poison attribute +5]
[Poison Element: 6]
Roshan moved out of the forest, ignoring the mage levels as another system advantage.
He had 5 free stats to allocate.
[HOST LEVEL: 11]
[HOST RACE: Greater Human]
[CURRENT ABILITY: None]
[STRENGTH: 23]
[AGILITY: 21]
[SPEED: 23]
[STAMINA: 22]
Stronger, just as he wanted.
He tested his poison ability. A green glow appeared on his hands. Placing them on a nearby tree, it corroded and disintegrated. This ability would be very useful.
He walked past the marketplace, reaching the training area. Boys and girls sparred with each other or dummies.
His steady footsteps drew attention.
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know. Never seen him before.”
“He looks weak and pale.”
“Maybe a newcomer.”
Snickers and laughter echoed, but Roshan ignored it. He just wanted to test his skills.
The adrenaline rushed through him. This was what he sought.
He faced a dummy.
‘Now how do I use this thing?’ he thought.
He saw a young boy place his hand on a dummy. Mimicking him, Roshan did the same.
“What level do you want to fight?” a robotic voice asked.
‘Wow,’ Roshan whispered.
“Level 5,” he decided.
The dummy straightened and took a stance.
[«Ding»]
[New Opponent detected]
[Quest: Defeat Opponent]
[Quest Reward: Instant Level Up]
‘This will be fun,’ Roshan smiled.
“Why is he smiling like that?”
“That smile creeps me out.”
“Right, this guy is weird.”
Many paused their fights to watch the newcomer.
Roshan gripped his sword and ran. The dummy blocked his strike but left an opening. The dummy kicked, but Roshan blocked it.
“This will be fun,” he said, rushing forward.
Strike, block, hit, block, strike, block, slice, dodge, punch, block, kick, block, strike, block.
Being non-living, the dummy could fight endlessly.
Roshan’s moves became sluggish from fatigue.
The dummy attacked his head. From the corner of his eye, Roshan dodged so fast onlookers were stunned.
Swipe!
The dummy's head fell to the floor.
Roshan panted, exhausted. He had held back to test himself.
[Quest Completed]
[Level Up Initiating]
[Host has successfully Levelled up]
[Two free stats obtained]
Roshan added the stats to his agility.
Unaware of the commotion, he straightened and walked home, planning to return the next day.

“Siera, wait.” Kade reached out, trying to stop her, but she skillfully evaded it. With a sigh, Kade focused his attention back on Roshan. “How are you feeling, bro?” He said, taking a seat on the bed. “You understand Siera is only trying to look out for you, just like the rest of us. Seeing you come out of that battlefield looking like a dead guy did quite a number of us.” Kade said, looking down. There were more words in his heart, but he could only clench his fists. “We could have helped you in there too.” His voice was low, but Roshan heard it. “And do what?” Roshan sighed, testing the stability and strength of his legs. “You’d get yourselves killed. I didn't even do anything before I passed out.”Kade remained silent for a while, “We saw the video, you don’t have to lie to me or hide your powers.”A lump formed in Roshan’s throat. He deeply inhaled, and let out the breath. “A video?”Kade let out a sardonic chuckle, “That bastard came on television, talking about—”“Heath?” Ro
CHAPTER 87: FINALLY WAKING UP
Aetherna lowered her head, and her eyes landed on the young man in front of her. In all her centuries of living, never had she felt such compassion from a human. The ones she had met were mostly concerned with getting powers from her. She couldn’t blame them, but she had grown weary of it. And then one fatal mistake had happened, all because she trusted a human with a secret.“There was a rift in the spirit world, and a group of powerful men came in under a devious guise. They were long gone before we found that a lot of things had been stolen.” Aetherna said, before her eyes went back to her child. “I lost my baby at that time. I didn’t think she would survive, yet I am glad it is in the hands of someone like you.” A smile appeared on Aetherna’s lips.Roshan nodded, he had no words to say, but he could feel it.Pearl’s sudden happiness and the excitement of a child was radiating in his chest. “I’m sorry for what those people did. I know nothing I say could repair the damage. If y
CHAPTER 86: FINDING A SPIRIT BEAST
"We need to find Hera right now, especially with someone as cracked as that running wild,” Cross lashed out, slamming his hand on the table. “She can’t just disappear from right under our nose.” He said, squeezing his eyes shut. He was the one tasked to protect her but now, he didn’t even know where she was. “Mr. Read went along with her, promising to bring her back. For someone like that, he’s definitely not going to disappoint!” Kade said, as he stood by the side. The soldiers and nurses took the injured men inside, and Kade watched Siera follow the men carrying Roshan.Cross didn’t say anything in response, but he knew that there was no way they could leave without their warrior princess. “We’d continue tracking her location until we are sure they are both in safe hands.” Cross said, his hands on his hips as he straightened his gait.“I can stay here right?” Kade asked, and for the first time, the lieutenant turned to him for the first time. Cross shook his head, “The best opti
CHAPTER 85: FIGHTING AGAINST ONE OF OUR OWN.
A war is coming and Humanity's weakness would be its downfall.The words echoed in the ears of everyone whose eyes were glued to the television screen.Around the world, a deep fear permeated the hearts of everyone who had their eyes on the screen.The mothers covered the eyes of the children, while the men clenched their fists, fury burning in their hearts. Everyone could sense their own trepidation, and questions surfaced.Was humanity truly weak?And in the blink of an eye, Heath vanished from the screen."We apologise for the break in transmission," The female news anchor came up, although her lips trembled, because this was the first time anyone was seeing this, and just like the average human, she was also afraid."But we assure everyone remains calm as we sort out what is going on." She said, before the screen flashed, returning to a paid advertisement.Karai slammed her fist on the table as she glared at the screen."I have more than two hundred people working here," She yelle
CHAPTER 84: A WAR IS COMING.
Karai sat straight in her chair and stared at the screen in front of her.They had defeated the Daegi, but at what cost?Base Thirteen was lost.Not just lost—it was utterly destroyed."If only he had come earlier, it would have been a quick win." She frowned, looking at the image in front of her."Hey, you." Karai pointed at one of the men in a white coat operating the computer. "Can you locate any of those fighters? We need to know what base they're from.""Especially the one that summoned that Spirit Beast. Based on the way the signal went haywire, that was a Guardian-class Spirit Beast." Karai sighed.To think that it had taken a rare Spirit Beast to defeat just one Daegi.This only proved how weak humanity was compared to the Daegi, their enemies."Found them, ma'am," the man said, rising to his feet.He brought an iPad to her, and Karai narrowed her gaze.The princess was famous, and there were three other people who had been present on the battlefield."They let a child fight?"
CHAPTER 83: MY MASTERPIECE
After much contemplation, Read rose to his feet. He was the one in the best shape among the rest.So he had the best chance.“I’ll go in and get Hera. Once I’m done, I’ll make it to the ship. If you don’t see me, don’t look for me,” Read said.A number of the soldiers wanted to refuse, but a single stare was enough to silence them.“I’m the strongest one here right now,” Read said, looking toward the destroyed city, “I’ll be able to make it. I’ll contact you first before anything.”“Are you ready, Kai?” Read looked at the yellow-haired man.Kai coughed out blood before rising to his feet.“Yeah. I’ll be fine,” he chuckled in response, wiping the blood on his clothes, hiding it from the others.A portal instantly materialized, and Kai coughed again, this time vomiting blood.“I have him,” Bahr said, moving quickly to grab the collapsing Kai.“Take him inside first,” Read ordered, “and the rest of you follow.”The other soldiers picked up Lans and Roshan, then walked inside.At the ship,
