Bryan walked into the Major General's office and saluted.
“Sir! You sent for me Sir!”
Major General Bourne seemed to be in his late-forties, with a bald hair and a Caesar's moustache. The man gestured to the chair in front of him for Bryan to sit.
“I was told by Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat of your achievement. I must say I am impressed.” the man spoke with a smile on his face. His voice was a bit identical to that of Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat, except for the ferocity part.
“Thank you Sir, I was merely doing my duty.” Bryan replied with a humble expression on his face.
“Oh no son, what you did is what no one else was willing to do. You chose to face more than two hundred RBO soldiers alone, just so you could make sure your teammates survived. Now that's commendable, but what got my attention is this report here made by your commanding officer.” he said while tapping on the file on his desk.
“You took out a kill count of more than a hundred RBO soldiers alone. Now if I didn't know any better, I would have believed you're a fictional super soldier. But I saw you during training period and I know very well you were not capable. So it's either Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat exaggerated all these, which I'm sure he did not, or you've been hiding something from us.” The Major General said with a serious expression as he probed Bryan.
Bryan kept his face as stoic as he could.
“Sir! With all due respect, I believe that Major Cutthroat exaggerated a lot. I am only but a private with no extensional training whatsoever. And doesn't it seem a bit off to you that I defeated more than a hundred RBO soldiers?” Bryan replied as he did his best to keep his face as expressionless as possible.
Major General Bourne smiled. He had already expected this outcome. He knew very well that Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat was a no bullshit man, and if he said Private Bryan Grayson took out more than a hundred RBO soldiers in a classic John Wick style, then that's what happened. He also knew that the boy in front of him would not come clean of that fact, but he didn't press on the matter.
“Perhaps he did. You're dismissed!” he said while waving his hand as if he was now disinterested in the topic.
“Yes Sir!” Bryan stood, saluted him and walked out of the office.
Bryan didn't have time to think about what had just transpired, to him he had to keep the system a secret. He walked into the locker room. Ever since he returned from the mission, his teammates seemed to have distanced themselves from him, and even the bullying stopped.
“Private Grayson!” a deep husky voice Bryan knew so well, called out to him.
“Sir!” Bryan stood erect and saluted Major Cutthroat.
“At ease soldier.”
The Major looked at Bryan for a while then sighed.
“I really don't know why you're being so secretive, but I hope it's for the betterment of our country. I won't pry on your matters..” Major Cutthroat was about to go into one of his speeches when a soldier stepped into the locker room. Upon seeing the Major, the soldier walked over and saluted.
“Sir! The Delta Squad has returned Sir! Lieutenant Colonel Durke has requested for your presence at the training field Sir!” the soldier, who seemed to be of Private First Class rank, a rank two twice higher than that of Bryan continued.
“Hmph! They're back? What does he want to do this time, gloat?" Major Cutthroat said with resentment as he followed the soldier, but just as he was about to pass through the door, he had a crazy idea. He turned back towards Bryan.
“Private Bryan! Follow me to meet the Lieutenant Colonel!” he ordered.
“Yes Sir!” Bryan replied even though he could not fathom the reason why the Major invited him along, but from what he gathered just now, it seemed that Major Cutthroat and the Lieutenant Colonel were some kind of rivals. Well, he will always support the Major since Major Cutthroat is in fact his commanding officer.

Major Cutthroat and Bryan walked towards a team of burly men smartly dressed in the standard Alorean Nation uniform which was just a blue colored tight spandex.. not to tight so as to enable flexibility. A man in his mid-thirties stood in front of this team as they all did various exercises on the field.
“Lieutenant Colonel! You sent for me!?” Major Cutthroat asked the man. Even though he had his misgivings about the Lieutenant Colonel, he still had to respect him as his rank was far lower than the man in front of him.
“Oh there's the chap I was just looking for." The man spoke in friendly way but everyone could sense the understating tone he used. It was apparent to all that he looked down on Major Cutthroat a lot.
“What do you need me for?” Major Cutthroat changed the way he was addressing the man. He could handle many things but never disrespect.
“Why, I was just surprised you didn't come out to welcome me. Were you not briefed of my mission to Port Urian? Or did you think I was out fighting mock battles like you and your team of toy soldiers?” Lieutenant Colonel Durke questioned with a feigned surprise on his face.
“Toy.. Lieutenant Colonel Durke, I will advise you to desist from such words.” Major Cutthroat said with so much anger bubbling in him. His words made the Lt colonel frown. Lieutenant Colonel Durke then turned around to his team who were still doing jumping jacks vigorously.
“TEN HUTTS!” He shouted in an authoritative tone. Immediately they all stopped whatsoever they were doing, then ran up and stood in front of him in neat formed line. He smiled and turned to the Major as if showing off his team.
“Major Cutthroat here seems to think that you boys are not good enough, and are comparable or even below his sissy team.” his words was laced with mockery, and although the rows of men and women who stood erect weren't murmuring, their creased brows showed the fact that they were clearly displeased.
“I never said..” Major Cutthroat tried to clarify the situation but was cut off by the Lieutenant Colonel.
“Denying? Are you then trying to call me a liar?” Lieutenant Colonel Durke said with a feigned displeased expression on his face. If one didn't know any better, they will be against Major Cutthroat for trying to make his superior look bad in front of the juniors.
“No.. that's not..” Major Cutthroat stuttered. Bryan was surprised as this was the first time he had seen his commanding officer behave this way. He knew very well that the Lieutenant Colonel was the one baiting Major Cutthroat while still acting as the victim. This made anger to boil in Bryan's heart as it reminded him of the scheming Houstons.
“How about we test that theory? It's a good thing you brought one of your toy soldiers. Let's see how good they really are.” Lieutenant Colonel Durke said with a smile on his face. This was his chance to humiliate Major Cutthroat, he could not let this opportunity slip.
Just as Major Cutthroat was thinking of what to do in order to get out of this situation, Bryan on the other side had just received a mission from the system.
«Ding!
New quest: Defeat six opponents in an overwhelming duel.
Reward: Thirty contribution points per person.
Penalty: Nil» the system's robotic voice sounded in Bryan's mind. His lips curved up in a smile which was noticed by the Lieutenant Colonel.
Before Major Cutthroat could affirm or reject the challenge, he saw Bryan walking out to the front. He was then reminded of the scene of the battle.
'Oh my! How could I forget! I have the super soldier with me and I'm fretting!'
Bryan stood in front of Major Cutthroat, facing him, he saluted the man.
“Private Grayson requesting permission to participate in this duel! Sir!” Bryan said with confidence. He saw his commanding officer's face lit up in smiles.
“Hahahaha! Yes, yes.. go give em hell my boy! Hahahahah!” he could not help but be so happy. He could not wait to see the shock on the Lt colonel's face when Bryan performs his miracle.

He's not deadCaen, Isona, and Dion gazed at the screen, wondering what Vega had to show them when a video started playing.In the video, a young silver-haired boy could be seen. The boy only looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old at most. The boy was wearing a basic robe, lying on a bed. Machines were connected to him.They observed the video and noticed how the boy seemed like he was being tortured. There were three more people in the room that looked like scientists. The video ended as the boy stopped moving as if he was dead. The Scientists left the room. Some maids came, wrapped the boy in sheets, and carried him outside.Vega removed his hand from the screen as the video ended. Gazing back at his people, he calmly asked,"What did you think about that video?""What was that video? Some scientists doing experiments on a kid, or was it torture?" Caen asked.He continued,"We already know humans are cruel. Nothing new. Why should we care if a kid was killed? Unless... There's s

A fool's errandOmega sat down in front of Kahn and bowed his head without looking Kahn in the eyes. It felt as if Omega was submitting himself and acknowledging Kahn as it's master. The next moment, Kahn felt a connection towards Omega as of the wolf was an extension of his own body and consciousness.“Do you understand what I'm saying?” Kahn asked Omega to check whether his guess was right.Omega nodded in response and stood back up.“Good. Now go and hunt something I could eat. Not too big and meat shouldn't be too hard to chew.” Kahn commanded Omega. Since je was under the weakened state, he barely had strength to walk and could not go to find something to eat.He thought about having something to eat first because he had no energy left in him and meat was the best source to regain strength.After Omega ran off towards the bushes and completely disappeared out of his sight, Kahn called to the system again.“System, can you help me create fire?” Kahn asked curiously.«What am I, y

Tell me moreKahn heard all the notifications inside his head. He already expected something like this to happen when he killed the red wolf and heard the Ding sound in his head.To his surprise, he not only learned how to activate War Dominance but he also broke through the current threshold of his capacity and already went past his limits to meet the conditions to unlock his War Deity Body. This means he will be twice stronger when he recovered his strength again.The first encounter Kahn had in Vantrea as soon as he entered was a life or death battle and he barely managed to survive. Who knew if eh we ended up dying here, would anyone ever know or care? He would die just a nameless death.. AGAIN.Kahn tried to focus his mind again on the notifications in his mind. There was no system panel or screen board for him to check these notifications in a list or scroll through them one by one. It was as if this system was part of his consciousness itself and somehow acted like his mind wh

VantreaDerek's new body.. now Kahn.. was something he always dreamt of and wanted to have in his ideal standards of a physical body. He was six-feet and three-inches tall, normal white skin tone same as his previous life. He had an angled but somewhat wider jaw. His face was well proportioned and very handsome. He had bulging muscles and six pack abs. Unlike his previous life, this time his hair color was completely black and not brown. They were smooth, soft, and wavy. His hair was done from the right side from his perspective. They were long but not till his shoulder length long either. His eyes were black, unlike his former life where they were blue. It was not to stand out or being assumed as someone from a particular region because blue eyes were always most noticeable part of particular countries or regions. Black hair and eye color was very universal on the other hand.His built was very balanced. His upper body had wider shoulders and big arms, his chest was big enough to ali

I found himIn the void of nothingness, where the flow of time itself didn't exist and not even a ray of light could be seen. This place was neither Heaven nor Hell. It was just an infinite space filled with absolute nothing as if the concept of life and death did not exist here.Suddenly, a crack in space appeared out of nowhere, it kept elongating at an extremely fast speed and in an instant, it stretched around ten kilometers and a gigantic figure sitting on a black stone throne which was no less than a size of a mountain itself emerged from the other side of the void.This figure was akin to the height of a couple of mountains, completely clad in majestic black clothes and had a hood on the head almost resembling the Grim Reaper itself. Its face could not be seen as if it didn't exist. It looked around for a moment and waved its right hand and created a space of its own, widening for a dozen kilometers and stabilizing itself like forming a gigantic barrier.An ancient voice, so de
