2025-02-18 00:57:26Oliver's eyelids began to lift open as he slowly regained consciousness. He picked himself off the floor and rubbed his head slightly.
"What the hell happened?" Oliver mused, a slight look of puzzle evident on his face as he glanced around his room. The last thing he could remember was him swallowing his medical pills,and then he suddenly passed out.
."Was I imagining things, or was there this strange screen right in front if me even though I did passed out?" Oliver pondered. After blacking out last night, Oliver remembered this strange holographic screen popped up in his line of sight.
While thinking about the screen, the strange holographic screen materialized right in front of him.
.[OLIVER BECKETT HAS SWALLOWED THE LAST ENERGY PILL]
[OLIVER BECKETT IS NOW MEDICALLY FIT TO INHERIT THE DIVINE TALENT]
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE AWAKENED THE ULTIMATE DIVINE TALENT]
Oliver glanced at the numerous screen popping up right in front of him, and none of it made sense to him.
"Just what is all these? Am I hallucinating or what?" Oliver wondered as he rubbed his eyes, hoping to get rid of the screen, but that didn't seen to work.
"It's still here? Meaning it's real?" Oliver intoned, his fingers rubbing his chin with looks of contemplation evident in his face.
Since Oliver failed to get rid of it, he began to read the words written boldly on the screen.
"I am now medically fit to inherit the Divine Talent?" Oliver read out loud with his fingers on his chin. "Does it mean those pills I've been taken these past few years was to make me fit to awaken some...divine talent?" Oliver blurted out, his gaze still glued to the window screen in front of him.
[TO PROCEED, OLIVER NEEDS TO ACCEPT THE POWERS AND COMPLETE THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST]
The screen in front of Oliver morphed to a whole new one, and the puzzled expression is on Oliver's face intensified.
[YOU ONLY HAVE 10 SECONDS TO ACCEPT, OR YOU WILL LOSE HIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOREVER]
[TEN]
[NINE]
[EIGHT]
[SEVEN]
"Great, there's a countdown!" Oliver blurted out with his eyes widened. "I don't get a chance to think about it? Really? I am supposed to make my decision within ten freaking seconds?" Oliver lamented as the clock kept counting down.
Even though Oliver didn't really know what was going on, he wasn't dumb to know that it meant he would awaken a Talent, and probably become stronger once he accepts. What Oliver wasn't sure about was what the acceptance quest would be all about.
But there was no time to think, he had to make his decision right now or lose it forever.
[THREE]
[TWO]
[ONE]
[YES✓]
Oliver selected the yes option in the last second, and the screen in front of him vanished, replacing it with a whole new one.
[YOU WILL NOW BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE QUEST AREA]
Receiving that last notification, Oliver vanished into thin air, and appeared in a whole new location.
"What the?" Oliver swept his gaze through the foreign location he now found himself in.
The place looked like a vast open arena that was filled with hundreds of seats for spectators, but no one was present there.
"Where am I?" Oliver mused in bewilderment as he glanced around the place.
[YOU ARE NOW IN THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST ARENA]
[GOAL: DEFEAT THE WARRIOR]
[REWARD: ????]
[FAILURE: DEATH]
Oliver's eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped to the floor after reading quest's instructions.
"Defeat? Wait, I am going to fight someone? Or.. something? How am I supposed to defeat anyone if I do not have a Talent?" Oliver panicked with his heart racing and his shirt now drenched in sweat as he kept glancing around the place.
[ELEPHANT DAGGERS HAS BEEN GRANTED TO YOU FOR THE QUEST]
A notification popped up right in front of Oliver, and in a blink of an eye, two short daggers appeared in both of his hands.
"Daggers...that's good.. at least I won't be completely defenseless." Oliver glanced at the daggers in his hands and clenched them firmly. "Just what am I fighting?" Oliver wondered.
He kept glancing around the place, until a metallic gate by the side of the arena lifted open, and thunderous footsteps could be heard, causing the whole place to shake drastically.
"It's coming." Oliver gulped as the footsteps grew louder, and the whole arena kept shaking as warrior stepped out. The footsteps got louder until the said warrior finally arrived meters away from him.
The warrior looked like a 7 foot tall samurai with black mask on his face and two giant blades held in both hands. The appearance of the warrior was intimidating, and just by looking at it, gave Oliver shivers.
"I am... supposed to fight that thing?" Oliver gulped down with a nervous expression. "Hey, I don't want to be apart of all these again! I don't want your stupid powers, just let me out of here, please!" Oliver pleaded, seeking for a way out.
But there was none.
Once he clicked on the yes option, there's no going back. The only way out is if he completes the quests or dies.
"Shit, why did I agree to this in the first place? I should have just keep living as the clueless trash everyone knows." Oliver lamented, his gaze still fixed intently on the warrior meters away, and the warrior also stop there glaring at Oliver.
"There's nothing I can do now..I already made my decision, now it's up to me wether I live or die. Even though I am weak, I can't just give up without doing anything! I rather die knowing I at least tried to defeat it!" Oliver hyped himself up as he clenched the daggers in his hands and got in a fighting stance.
He dismissed the nervous expression on his face and replaced it with a determined look.
The samurai stood there for a few more minutes before charging forward and headed towards Oliver.

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.
