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.

Jax looked at Oliver. Jax was a brave man. He loved to fight. But he saw the cold, empty darkness in Oliver's eyes."Commander," Jax asked softly. "What is the probability that my men and I survive the blast?"Oliver did not look away. He did not lie. He never lied to his soldiers."The probability of your survival is 12.1 percent," Oliver said clearly.Captain Iris gasped. She covered her mouth with her good hand. "Oliver! You are sending them on a suicide mission! You are telling them to die!""I am telling them to win," Oliver said flatly.Jax took a deep breath. He looked at Kael. Kael nodded slowly."12.1 percent," Jax smiled a sad, hard smile. "I have fought worse odds. We will pack the cannon, Commander. Strike Squad Seven, moving out."Jax’s screen blinked off.Oliver turned away from the floating screens. He looked back at the giant blue hologram. The pieces were moving. The chess board was set. Every action had a measurable probability. Every human life was just a number in

One minute later, the command room was filled with floating faces.Large holographic screens hovered around Oliver’s desk.On the first screen was General Thorne from Delta-9. The old man looked extremely tired. His gray uniform was wrinkled.On the second screen was Commander Hayes from Echo-4. She looked angry and terrified. She had not forgiven Oliver for destroying the Iron Star.On the third screen was Captain Jax. Jax was standing in the heavy weapon armory deep below Oakhaven. Giant metal mechs and massive Genesis Cannons rested in the dark behind him.And standing physically in the room was Captain Iris. She watched Oliver with sad, angry eyes."Listen closely," Oliver said. He did not say hello. He did not ask how they were. He spoke in crisp, sharp tactical language. "Every second we waste is measured in human blood. We have extracted the enemy's battle plan. The Wraithborn are launching a multi-front galactic siege. They will arrive in four hours.""Four hours?!"

The command room smelled like burning meat.Commander Oliver stood in the center of the room. He was still standing next to the giant blue hologram. His right hand was completely black. The skin was burned and cracked. It looked like a piece of dead wood. The dark magic from the alien coin had destroyed his flesh.A small, white medical robot rolled up to Oliver. It held a needle filled with pain medicine. It beeped softly."Commander," Captain Vance said. Vance was still sitting on the floor. He looked at Oliver’s hand with wide, terrified eyes. "Please. Let the robot help you. You are badly hurt."Oliver did not look at the robot. He did not look at his hand. He looked only at the giant blue hologram floating in the air."Pain is a variable," Oliver said. His voice was completely flat. It was the voice of a machine. "If I take the medicine, my brain will slow down by four percent. I cannot afford to lose four percent. Send the robot away.""But sir—" Vance started."Send it away, Ca

On the screen, Billy was typing frantically. His face was pale white. Sweat poured down his cheeks. "Boss... the pulse is leaving our planet. It is going out into the Rift. It is crossing dimensions!"The hologram showed the purple wave traveling across millions of miles of dark space.Then, the wave hit something.Far away, at the very edge of the holographic map, thousands of new red dots suddenly appeared. Then millions. Then billions."Oh my god," Iris cried from the floor. She stared at the hologram.The entire edge of the map turned completely red. It was not just an army. It was an entire universe of monsters. It was the true Wraithborn empire, hiding deep in the dark magic of the Rift.And in the very center of that massive red ocean, a giant, pulsing yellow dot appeared."What is that yellow dot?" Vance asked, his voice shaking uncontrollably."It is the central command node," Oliver said, breathing heavily. "It is the humanoid strategist. We found him. I have his exact coord

"I have already calculated the risk," Oliver said. His voice was an absolute command. It left no room for arguing. "The risk of a computer virus is 12.4 percent. The risk of losing the war because we do not understand the enemy is 100 percent. Bring me the cables, Captain Vance."Vance swallowed hard. He nodded. "Yes, sir."Vance ran to a supply closet in the back of the room. He brought out a tangle of thick black wires and small silver scanning devices.Oliver placed the glowing coin carefully in the center of his desk. It pulsed. Thump. Thump. It cast a scary purple shadow on the walls."Attach the sensors," Oliver ordered.Vance’s hands shook as he placed four small silver sensors around the coin. He plugged the thick black wires into the sensors. He plugged the other ends of the wires into the main computer server."Billy," Oliver said. "Are the connections secure?"On the screen, Billy typed very fast. Green lines of code flew across his monitor. "Connections are secure, boss. B
Chapter 516
The command room was a mess. Just an hour ago, a Wraithborn operative had walked right through the solid steel wall. It had killed four human guards. It had tried to kill Commander Oliver. Now, the monster was just a pile of black ash on the floor.Two small cleaning robots rolled across the gray metal floor. They made soft humming sounds. Vrrrrr. They swept up the black ash. They sprayed chemicals to clean the red blood. The four dead guards had already been carried away to the medical wing.Captain Vance stood by his desk. He was shaking. He looked at the empty space where the guards had died. He could not stop his hands from trembling.Captain Iris sat in a chair in the corner. Her left arm was still in a thick white cast. She looked tired. She looked angry. She watched Oliver.Commander Oliver did not look at the blood. He did not look at the robots. He stood behind his large black desk. He was perfectly calm. His uniform was clean. His face was like a stone mask. He was thinking.
