2025-02-18 01:00:00Oliver stood there in a fighting stance, his gaze fixed intently on the incoming gigantic samurai. The samurai arrived within striking distance and swung out its giant blade towards Oliver. Oliver saw the blade head towards him in an incredible speed, and he reacted by lifting his two daggers and stopped the blade.
"Too strong!" Oliver commented, his teeth gritted as he struggled to keep up with the samurai's strength and prevent it from cutting him with its blade. Unable to hold it any longer, Oliver let go and leaped a few meters backwards to create gap, but the samurai closed the gap instantly and swung out his blade towards him.
Oliver managed to react by swirling his body to the side, dodging the strike by a a hair length. The samurai swiftly retrieved his outstretched blade and thrust it towards Oliver's chest.
The blade moved through the air at a tremendous speed, and when it was only inches away from Oliver's chest, Oliver went low and rolled on the floor, causing it the miss its target. Oliver swiftly regained composure and clenched his right hand dagger firmly, before stabbing it forward.
CLANG
The dagger made impact with the samurai's right side, but the armor was impossible to penetrate.
"Damn that armor!" Oliver cursed as he retrieved his blade and leaped backwards, dodging another strike from the samurai.
"If I can't kill it with the daggers then why did you give it to me in the first place?" Oliver voice out, his face bright red in anger as he blocked the samurai's blade with both of his daggers. Before Oliver could regain composure, the right armored leg of the samurai slammed heavily on his chest and sent him flying.
Oliver's body flew across the place until he finally crashed against a wall behind and fell to the floor.
"Argh." He grunted in pain while spitting out both blood and saliva from his mouth. Oliver rose to his feet, his body now covered in bruises and blood trickling down from is mouth.
The samurai stood there meters away from Oliver like he was waiting for him to recover before attacking him again.
"He must think I'm too weak that's why he's giving me the chance to catch my breath." Oliver mused as he lifted his right arm and wiped the blood off his mouth with his sleeve. "If my blade can't penetrate into the armor, I wonder how I am going to kill it. What part of the body isn't protected by armor?" Oliver wondered internally as he got in a fighting stance and clenched his two daggers in his hands.
The samurai glared at him for several more minutes before shooting out like a rocket, and in a blink of an eye he arrived right in front of Oliver.
"This speed..." Oliver exclaimed as the samurai grabbed his collar and flung him like a piece of twig to the other side of the arena. Oliver flew through the air, and before he could crash against the wall, the samurai appeared in front of him and grabbed his collar once more, lifted him high, and slammed him heavily on the floor.
A huge cloud of dust formed as Oliver got slammed on the ground. He laid down there and he could feel several of his bones shattered upon colliding with the ground.
The samurai stood beside Oliver, his gaze fixed on him as he watched him lay down there motionless, waiting for him to recover. Olive laid down there, his head filled with thoughts and he still gripped the daggers firmly in his hands.
"The only part that isn't protected is..." Oliver mused as he clenched the dagger firmly before rising up at a tremendous speed and stabbed his dagger into the eyes of the samurai. "The eyes!" Oliver made a battle cry as he stabbed his second dagger into the second eyes, causing green blood to pour out like rain and the samurai roaring in pain.
Oliver kept pulling it backwards and stabbing it continuously and more blood poured out and filled the whole place, until he finally stopped, and the gigantic body of the samurai hit the floor with a loud thud.
Oliver leaned his hands on his knees while trying to catch his breath. He rose and wiped the green blood that stained his whole face off with his sleeve and glanced at the body of the dead samurai.
Oliver leaned beside the samurai to examine it closely.
"Is it even human? The sound it made while it was being stabbed, it was like that of a monster." Oliver intoned while examining the body. "If it wasn't being so nice, I wouldn't have won. I only trucked it and made it believe I was still recovering, mean while I was planning out my next attack."
While Oliver was busy examining the body, a notification popped up right in front of him.
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PASSED THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST]
[YOU WILL NOW BE TRANSPORTED BACK TO YOUR HOME]
Receiving those last sets of notifications,Olive vanished from the arena and now found himself back in his room.
"Thank goodness." Oliver let out a heavy sigh of relief as he sat down on his bed and stretched his body. "Strange, I do not feel any pains. Also, my injuries are gone?" Oliver's eyes widened in shock after glancing at his body, but his bruises were gone.
Even his broken bones were fixed and he didn't feel exhausted like he felt seconds ago.
"Was all that a dream or hallucination?" Oliver rubbed his chin in bewilderment.
While Oliver was busy with his thoughts, a notification popped up beside him and he shifted his gaze towards it.
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PASSED THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST AND THE DIVINE TALENT HAS BEEN GRANTED TO YOU]
[CLICK ON THE SYSTEM INTERFACE TO LEARN MORE]
Oliver read through the notification with his fingers rubbing his chin.
"Is this truly what I think it is? If it is, then I would definitely stop being the trash everyone knows me as and I shall rise to the top and achieve my dreams." Oliver pondered internally.

Chapter 927
The command bridge of the Radiant Vanguard was a place of ghosts and static. The air tasted of ozone, burned copper, and the phantom scent of long-dead gardens. Everywhere Oliver looked, he saw the flickering, glitching edges of a reality that was being unstitched. His metal-fused right hand rested on the console. The dark, oily veins that snaked up his neck felt cold, not the cold of ice, but the cold of a dying star. He was the Anchor, yet he felt himself slipping, becoming less of a commander and more of a coordinate in a vast, uncaring calculation. He needed to be precise. He needed to be absolute."Status," Oliver said. His voice was a flat, grating vibration that seemed to make the very air ripple.Billy sat huddled over the navigation array, his fingers moving in frantic, jerky motions. His eyes were bloodshot, rimmed with the exhaustion of someone who had watched his own mind be raided by a god. "The rift is ahead, boss. The Chasm of Erasure. It's… it’s not just a hole in
Chapter 926
The giant, burning sun looked down at Commander Oliver. The boiling white star cracked open. A massive, slitted pupil stretched across the entire sky.The Overlord was staring directly at him through the eye of a dying sun. The heat was apocalyptic. The light was blinding. Oliver did not freeze. He did not drop his weapon. His human left hand gripped the glowing gray sword of pure data. The sword hummed with silent, deadly power. The Chief Medical Officer kneeled on the deck in front of Oliver. The monster wearing the doctor's face smiled. It waited for Oliver to surrender to the giant eye in the sky. "You are just a bug looking up at a god," the doctor whispered. Oliver stared into the massive sun. "A god is a biological error," Oliver stated cleanly. "Errors must be deleted."Oliver swung the glowing gray sword downward. He did not aim for the giant sun. He aimed for the doctor's neck. The blade sliced flawlessly through the monster's flesh. The doctor's head fell to the metal
Chapter 925
The smiling face of the Chief Medical Officer glowed in the blinding light of the dying star. Commander Oliver stood at the very front of the rusted flagship. He held his invisible shield of pure logic. The shield blocked the deadly spears of fear and sadness. It kept his crew safe. But the smiling doctor raised a clipboard made of pure white light. He tapped a finger against the glowing glass. "A shield can block a weapon, Oliver," the doctor whispered. His voice bypassed the vacuum of space and echoed directly inside Oliver's helmet. "But a shield cannot block a memory. A memory comes from the inside." The doctor tapped the board one final time. The invisible wall of logic cracked. It did not shatter into pieces, but tiny, glowing fissures opened in the barrier. The psychic spears of the Wraithborn did not wait. They slipped perfectly through the cracks. They rained down on the silver ship like silent, invisible lightning. The spears did not break the metal hull. They phased
Chapter 924
The giant, rusted heart beat slowly in the dark void. Black blood dripped from its massive veins. Standing on top of the awful thing was the corrupted ghost of Lira. She looked at Commander Oliver with eyes full of weeping black ink. "You left me in the dark," the broken ghost whispered. Her voice carried the sound of crying children and grinding stones. "Now you will drown in it."Oliver stood on the bridge of the rusted flagship. He looked at the ghost of the woman who had saved his life. A tiny, painful spark tried to ignite inside his human chest. It was a memory of her pure white light. It was a memory of her beautiful sacrifice. The Overlord had taken her beautiful sacrifice and turned it into dirty magic. The dark god wanted Oliver to feel guilt. The Overlord knew that guilt made human hands shake. Guilt made commanders hesitate. Oliver did not hesitate. He forced the tiny spark of sadness deep into the locked metal box inside his mind. He turned the key. He became perfect
Chapter 923
The word bounced around inside his skull. “Murderer.” It did not sound like the booming voice of the Overlord. It did not sound like the cold, robotic hum of the System Administrator. It sounded exactly like his own voice. Commander Oliver fell to his knees on the glass floor. The terrible weight of a trillion erased lives crashed into his nervous system. He felt their final, silent screams burning inside his chest. He felt the terror of the mothers and the fathers. His human heart beat so violently it felt like it would break his ribs. His lungs gasped for air. He was drowning in a sudden, massive ocean of pure grief. He looked at Captain Iris. She was weeping on the floor, her hands covering her face. He wanted to reach out to her. He wanted to tell her that the math was a cruel lie. But a bright red warning light flashed inside his dark visor. [CRITICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. EMOTIONAL COMPROMISE DETECTED. PURGE IMMINENT.] Oliver closed his eyes. He forced the human feelings back
Chapter 922
The cold hand on Commander Oliver’s metal shoulder faded away. The frantic tapping on his spine stopped. The ghost of Billy from five seconds in the future vanished into the white light. The warning was clear. Run. Oliver did not run. A machine does not fear the future. A machine drives straight through it. The silver flagship tore out of the violent singularity. The massive fleet of human and mutant ships burst into the quiet, frozen space of Sector Zero. The roaring noise of the dimensional tunnel instantly died. Complete, absolute silence wrapped around the ships. Oliver stood at the front window of the command deck. His human gray eye and his burning red eye scanned the new battlefield. Sector Zero was not a normal sector of space. There were no stars here. There were no black holes or burning suns. The space was a topology of pure paradox. Huge waterfalls of black liquid flowed upside down into a white sky. Giant staircases made of glass twisted around each other, leading
