Oliver uncalled the armor, and it went back into his arsenal in a blink of an eye.

"I better complete the Daily quests and get the rewards so I can add more points to my strength attribute and get more stronger." Oliver concluded as he got down to the ground and began the pushups.

Unlike before when Oliver struggled to complete only one push-up, this time he was able to do ten without breaking a sweat.

[COMPLETE 10 PUSHUPS ✓]

A notification popped up right in front of Oliver after completing the last push-up,and he went to the side of his room and picked up his wooden cupboard, lifting it above his head. He kept bringing it down and lifting it up continuously, until he received the notification.

[lift 10kg ✓]

Oliver then shifted his gaze to the window screen to see the rest of the quests.

"Sleep eight hours a day is what I do naturally, but right now I can't since it's morning already. And as for the last quest, I'll complete it when running to school." Oliver concluded as he glanced outside the window and could see the morning sun already burning brightly.

Oliver picked up his towel and walked into the bathroom to get ready for school. 

In less than twenty minutes, Oliver stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed in his rough white uniform that was stained with both blood and dirt. He straightened his uniform while glancing at himself in the mirror.

"Why don't I feel nervous?" Oliver mused while combing his sporting black hair. 

Every morning Oliver gets himself ready for school, he always feel nervous and panicked about seeing the faces of Christopher and his friends, and also getting bullied by them. But today, he felt nothing like that.

After making sure everything was set, he stepped out of the room and locked the door before heading out. Oliver made his way to the broad highway before dashing forward as fast as his legs could carry him as he made his way to the school.

He ran for several minutes, before finally arriving in front of his school's building.

"I arrived a bit faster than usual. I guess I'm really changing after all." Oliver smirked as he straightened his uniform before walking into the school premisses and made his way to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The cafeteria section was divided into two buildings. One building was for he affluent students with rich families and powerful talents, while the second building to the left was for the low rankers and also those who can't afford a meal.

Since Oliver lacked the money to afford a meal of his own and was also poor, he always eats in the left hand side cafeteria. And even though the cafeteria was meant for people like him, he still got treated like an outcast.

Oliver made his way into the cafeteria and walked towards the lady distributing the meal. There was a long queue in front of the lady, and since Oliver arrived a bit late, he went to the extreme end of the line and stood patiently.

The line began to reduce gradually as students received their meal and went to their various seat. When it almost to to Oliver's turn, three towering student barged into the line and stood in front of him.

Oliver opened his mouth to complain, but after catching a glimpse of the guys faces, he refrained from saying anything.

"Do you have anything to say, trash?" Christopher glared at him and questioned. Oliver shook his head in response. "That's what I thought." Christopher spat before retrieving his meal and walked to an empty seat with his friends.

The students around all had a puzzled expression on their faces as they watched Christopher sit in the cafeteria that was meant for low level students. 

Oliver finally retrieved his own tray and glanced at it with a frown. Sitting on the tray was a single mould of bread that as the size of a baby's fist, and a small cup of watery mango juice beside it.

"What's the matter, trash?" The lady serving the food spat out in anger while glaring at Oliver in disdain.

"This wasn't what you've been serving everyone else." Oliver complained, his eyes still glued to the tray.

"So what? Do you have a problem with that? You expect me to serve you the same quantity as the rest? You must be so joker!" The lady voice out without holding back. 

Oliver stood there for a few more minutes and knew arguing with her would only be a waste of time, so he turned around and began to walk to his seat. 

While Oliver made his way to his seat, he heard someone called him from behind.

"Hey, Olive Oil! Why don't you come sit with us? We wish to get a taste from your food!" Christopher's voice reverberated throughout the cafeteria.

Oliver paused his steps but didn't turn around to face him, and he resumed his steps, ignoring Christopher's words completely.

"Did he just..." Christopher struggled to believe what just happened, and his face became bright red in anger. "You know what to do, Ken." He then turned to face one of his friends named Ken.

Ken rose from his seat and dashed forward, blocking Oliver's path. 

"Are you deaf? Christopher wants a taste from your food." Ken informed in a deep and rugged voice while standing in front of Oliver and preventing him from moving forward.

"T-this is all I've got." Oliver responded honestly. "And I haven't eaten a thing since yesterday morning, so just let me go please." He added.

"Do I look like I give a fuck? I don't care if you have eaten anything or not. We need your tray, and that's final!" Ken voiced out in an audible tone.

"I am afraid that won't happen." Oliver stood his ground and glared right into the eyes of Ken.

"What did you just say?" Ken questioned in disbelief.

"I said that won't happen!" Oliver responded.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
