Chapter One
"Damn it, I'm late for class!" Oliver Beckett exclaimed hastily while dashing through the street that was crowded with people going about their daily's activities. The morning sun was burning brightly, and Oliver's shirt was now drenched in sweat due to him running all the way from his apartment that school.
He lacked the money to board a public bus or cab, so he decided to get to school the any way he's been doing ever since he resumed.
Oliver kept bumping into people while running forward, and they kept raining abuses on him. But Oliver paid no attention to them, he was truly late for the test.
After running through the street for several more minutes, Oliver finally arrived in front of the school's gate. He leaned his hands on his knees while panting heavily, and sweat trickled down from his face and dropped to the floor.
"I'm few minutes late!" Oliver glanced at his wristwatch with widened eyes before running into the academy's premises and began to make his way to his class.
While running hastily down the hallway, a student placed his right leg in front of Oliver, and Oliver ended up hitting the leg and fell face first on the floor. The other students around broke out in mocking laughter, and they all had their gazes fixed on Oliver who picked himself up slowly with his uniform now stained in dust.
"Oops, sorry, Olive oil." The bot who intentionally made Oliver tripped spoke as he stood in front of Oliver with his arms folded. The boy had a short blonde hair, a nice physique that was like that of a bodybuilder, handsome face that every girl would crave for, and a height like a model.
His name was Christopher Flynn. The school's top bully and also one of the strongest students.
"It's fine." Oliver assured in a shaky tone as he buried his head down and attempted to walk away, but Christopher held his collar and pulled him back.
"And who said you could leave?" Christopher spoke, holding onto Oliver's collar and preventing him from moving. "Did I say you can leave yet?"
"I- I have a test to attend please...let me go." Oliver pleaded, fear written all over his face and his head facing the floor to avoid making eye contact.
"A test? Oh, that's right. A test that requires you all to display your talents,that's true. Why do you need to attend such test, anyway? We all know you are nothing but a trash with no talent!" Christopher mocked, still holding Oliver's collar.
Hearing the words of Christopher, Oliver's blood boiled in anger and sadness. Christopher wasn't wrong in anyway, Oliver indeed doesn't have a talent.
On the day where he was supposed to awaken the talent inside of him, he failed to awaken anything, and since then he has been refered to as a trash and nobody.
Always bullied by all.
"Let me go, Chris, please!" Oliver demanded, his voice mixed with both anger and command.
"What was that? What did you just say? I didn't quite hear you well." Christopher inquired, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I said let me go!" Oliver voiced out, and the students around now had a puzzled expression.
"Are you commanding me?" Christopher questioned. "How dare you talk back at me, Olive oil? Where did you get such confidence from?" He added.
"I said let me go!" Oliver paid no attention to his words and stood his ground.
"And what if I don't? What are you going to do, trash?" Christopher teased, still holding Oliver's collar.
Oliver then clenched his right fist tightly and punched it out towards Christopher's jaw. The punch slammed heavily on his jaw and caused Christopher to look at the ceiling and also release Oliver.
Christopher placed his hand on his jaw and shifted his gaze back to Oliver with a demonic expression.
"You dare lay your hands on me, trash? You are dead meat!" Christopher roared in anger. Oliver flinched, turning around, and began to run for his life.
Oliver ran forward as fast as his legs could carry him, until he suddenly felt his whole body freeze and unable to move. Before Oliver could figure out what was going on he felt a strong pressure pulling him back to Christopher.
"You can't run from me, trash? You think.you can harm.me and get away freely? You are corpse!" Christopher retorted as he kept pulling Oliver back, using his telekinesis ability. Oliver finally arrived in front of him, and Christopher stretched forth his right hand and grabbed Oliver's neck.
He squeezed it, causing Oliver to struggle for air as he got lifted off the floor.
"I will teach you a valuable lesson, so that next time you will remember you are nothing but a worthless trash, and all you have to do is shut up and bury your head in the sand while you are being bullied!" Christopher voiced out in anger, tightening his grip around Oliver's neck, and Oliver kept fighting to set himself free.
The students around chose to stand by and enjoy the gruesome scene with joyous expression. Even some were praising Christopher in the background.
Christopher kept strangling Oliver, before he finally threw him against the wall like a rag doll. Oliver's body crashed against the wall nearby and he fell down on the floor, coughing and gasping for air.
Before Oliver could catch his breath, he felt the same energy pulling him a into the air, and sent him crashing against the wall once more. Oliver's body was now covered in bruises with blood trickling down, and part of his bones were shattered.
He laid down there, his teeth clenched in pain as he found it hard to move.
"Hope it never repeats itself again." Christopher spat before walking away, leaving Oliver beaten on the floor. The students around glared at Oliver and rained abuses on him before exiting the hallway and headed to their various classes.
"Christopher...you will surely pay for this." Oliver clenched his fists in anger.

The earthquake struck just before sunrise. It started as a faint vibration under Oliver’s bed, like someone tapping the floor from beneath the world. Then it grew, rising into a violent tremor that shook the academy tower from its top floor to its deepest vaults. Windows rattled. Bedframes groaned. Books fell in heavy thumps across the dorm halls.Oliver shot upright, breathing hard. Another tremor rolled through the room, stronger than the first. The air hummed with static. His System flashed into view without being summoned. The text glowed blood-red.[Global Alert: Spatial equilibrium breach detected][Source: North Meridian Faultline][Rifts emerging across all regions]Oliver’s eyes widened. “Iris,” he whispered.He grabbed his coat, hooked on his boots, and ran out the door. Down the hall, Iris burst from her room at the same moment. Her hair was tangled, her breath shaky, but her eyes were sharp. “The ground won’t stop shaking,” she said. “What’s happening?”“The System thi

The weeks after the Crisis broadcast passed in a strange haze, as if the whole world stood on the edge of something huge but refused to look down. Meridian rebuilt its broken streets with trembling hands. Construction drones hummed day and night. New barrier pylons rose where old ones had fallen. Civilians wore smiles that never reached their eyes. Travelers patrolled the city in pairs, weapons glowing, waiting for the next alarm.On the surface, life looked like it was returning to order. But under that thin layer of calm, fear moved like a silent current.Oliver walked through the newly restored plaza with Iris and Billy at his side. His long coat brushed lightly against the ground. His steps were steady, but his mind felt heavy, as though someone had tied a stone to his chest. People bowed to him when he passed. Some whispered his name with awe. Others touched their children’s heads as if blessing them with his presence.Oliver never stopped for any of it. He simply kept walkin

Morning arrived weakly over the ruined plaza of Meridian. The once bright city that had stood proud against the Rift for decades now felt like it had been hollowed out. Cracked tiles covered the ground. Barrier pylons lay shattered, their crystals flickering with dying light. Smoke drifted into the sky like thin black strings being pulled by invisible hands.Oliver stood in the plaza with his unit. Their armor was patched with cloth. Their faces carried exhaustion that no amount of sleep could erase. The world felt quieter than it should have been. Even the survivors walking through the streets moved with slow, careful steps as if afraid the ground might open beneath them at any moment.The Traveler Guild had called for a public announcement at sunrise. For now, a few hundred people gathered in the damaged plaza, while thousands more watched through projection screens across the city. The air buzzed softly with the drones broadcasting the scene.Iris leaned against a broken pillar,

Morning crept over the Arcanum Desert like a trembling breath. The air was cold, too cold for a place once famous for its blazing heat. Travelers stood scattered across the battlefield with hollow eyes, watching the sky as if expecting another nightmare to step through the Rift.But nothing moved. The Worldcore Rift still pulsed darkly at the horizon, a giant wound stitched with black fire. Its surface rippled like the skin of a sleeping beast.Oliver stood on a shattered dune of melted glass. His coat was torn from the fight. Dust clung to his hair. His hands wouldn’t stop trembling no matter how tightly he clenched them.The Herald’s last laugh still echoed inside his chest.Iris knelt a few steps away, her staff planted into the ground for support. Her face was pale, lips pressed tight as she tried to control her breathing. Billy crouched beside her, trying to joke to hide his fear, but even he was shaken.No one spoke for a long time. Then the sky cracked. It sounded like metal s

Night fell over the Arcanum Desert like a curtain of ink. The dunes glimmered faintly under a silver moon, but the sky above them churned with something unnatural. Small Rifts flickered across the horizon. They twisted open and shut like blinking eyes, releasing bursts of pale fire that died before touching the sand.Travelers across the desert halted their transports and stared upward. Something in the air tasted wrong. Even the wind moved strangely, carrying a low hum that rattled bones.Oliver stood at the front of his strike unit, boots sinking slightly into the glassy sand. The heat still radiated from earlier Rift surges, making the ground shimmer. Iris stood beside him, staff in hand, sweat dripping down her forehead. Billy checked the charge on his gauntlets, trying to hide the tremor in his fingers.Behind them, dozens of Traveler squads formed a wide arc facing the largest Rift. The portal spun like a black sun surrounded by blue lightning. Every second, it grew wider. T

The Traveler citadel was louder than a battlefield. Dozens of voices clashed inside the great war room, each one trying to rise above the others. Commanders argued at round tables. Officers sprinted between screens. System panels flickered from blue to red with every new emergency. It felt like the world itself was shouting.Oliver stepped through the doors and felt the noise hit his chest like a physical force. The map at the center of the room was a giant globe made of shifting light. Red Rift markers pulsed across its surface like bleeding wounds. New ones appeared faster than old ones could be cleared. “Three new breaches in the northern corridor.”“Evacuation routes failing in the southern provinces!”“Mana storms forming over the coastal shields!”Every sentence was another blow. Oliver walked toward the main console. His boots left faint echoes against the polished stone floor. The air smelled like metal and heated circuits. The screens on the walls shook with every alert.
