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.

    "Hunger keeps the senses sharp," Oliver said perfectly. "A hungry animal hunts better than a full animal. We will divide one single protein bar into four equal pieces. We will eat the pieces exactly ten minutes before we engage the enemy. We will use the sudden sugar spike for combat energy. The other two bars are reserved for absolute emergencies."Rax rumbled a deep laugh. "You treat your own people like machines, Commander. You measure their blood like oil.""Machines do not make mistakes. Humans do," Oliver replied coldly. "I will not let a human mistake end the universe."Oliver turned his cold gray eye and his burning red eye to the weapons on the floor."We have two plasma batteries," Oliver noted. "General Vega. Your sniper rifle is our only long-range asset. But energy weapons drain battery rapidly. From this moment on, you are forbidden to miss."Vega stared at him. "Forbidden to miss? Commander, it is dark out there. They move fast.""I am aware of their speed," Oliver said

    The red light flashed in the pure white room. WEE-WOO! WEE-WOO!The giant robot made of hard white light and metal charged forward. It raised its two glowing energy swords. It was designed to kill monsters. And Commander Oliver’s right arm was made of monster metal.Oliver was stuck. His left hand was glued to the glowing white glass table. His black metal right arm was smoking and losing power. He could not move."General Vega!" Oliver’s voice echoed cleanly through the flashing red room. "Do not shoot the robot! Shoot the table!"General Vega did not hesitate for a single microsecond. She trusted Oliver with her life. She raised her heavy sniper rifle. She aimed at the glowing white glass table right next to Oliver’s trapped human hand. She pulled the trigger.BANG! The heavy metal bullet flew across the room. It hit the white glass exactly in the center.CRASH! The ancient alien table exploded. Millions of tiny, glowing white glass pieces flew into the air like bright snow.The mag

    They walked for twenty minutes. The path was perfectly straight. There were no traps. There were no monsters. The Wraithborn could not survive the pure light.Finally, the tunnel opened up into a large, circular room.The room was a masterpiece of ancient technology. In the center of the room sat a large, round table made of glowing white glass. Above the table, a complex, three-dimensional hologram of the entire planet slowly turned in the air."A tactical command center," Oliver said smoothly. He walked up to the glowing white glass table.There was no keyboard. There were no buttons."How do we turn it on, boss?" Billy asked. He pulled his cracked tablet from his backpack. "There is nowhere to plug in my cables.""You do not use cables," Lira said softly. "You use your mind. Place your hand on the glass, Oliver."Oliver looked at his two hands. His left hand was human flesh. His right hand was dark, evil metal. He raised his human left hand. He placed his bare palm flat against the

    "What?" Foreman Cole panicked. He held his young son tightly. "You are leaving us behind?! In the dark?!""I am securing your survival," Oliver said cleanly. "If we move the entire group through the hidden passage, we risk overextension. We will create too much noise. The Overlord will find the passage and collapse the ceiling on all of us."Oliver pointed to a small, defensible corner of the current tunnel."We will create a partial occupation," Oliver explained. "Sergeant Miller. You, Private Davis, Smith, Jones, Cole, and Vance will stay here. You will guard the civilians. You will guard the unconscious bodies of Captain Iris and Captain Jax. You will set up the heavy plasma machine gun behind those large rocks. You will maintain absolute silence.""We will hold the line, Commander," Miller said firmly. He did not question the math. If Oliver said it was the safest way, it was the safest way.Oliver turned to General Vega, Billy the hacker, and Rax the giant mutant."You three are

    The tunnel was as black as the bottom of the ocean. The only light came from Commander Oliver’s face.He walked at the front of the group. His left eye was human, colored a pale, cold gray. But his right eye was a burning, glowing red circle of fire. Half of his face was covered in smooth, pitch-black metal. The dark metal crawled down his neck, over his shoulder, and completely covered his right arm. Glowing purple veins pulsed inside the alien steel.Thump. Thump. Thump. The magical veins beat in perfect time with his human heart.Behind him, the survivors walked in silence. There were twenty-two terrified miners, including Foreman Cole and his young son, Sam. There were rebel soldiers, led by General Vega and the giant mutant, Rax. There was Billy the hacker, holding his cracked computer tablet. And there were the few remaining soldiers of the Ghost Squad, led by Sergeant Miller.Nobody spoke. They were too afraid to make a sound. But they were also afraid of their Commander.The

    "We did not win," Oliver whispered coldly."What do you mean?" Vega asked, stepping forward. "There are thirty dead monsters on the floor. We wiped them out.""You are looking at the bodies. You are not looking at the data," Oliver explained.He raised his black metal hand and pointed at the ash."I have fought the Wraithborn for years," Oliver said smoothly. "I know their formation behavior. Elite Phantoms rely on stealth. If they see two heavy turrets blocking a hallway, their primary protocol is to retreat and find a flanking route.""But they didn't retreat," Rax grunted. "They charged us.""Exactly," Oliver said. His voice grew very dark and heavy. "They charged us. They threw themselves directly into the line of fire. They wanted to die."The cheering soldiers slowly stopped celebrating. The tunnel grew very quiet."Why would they want to die?" Billy asked, shivering in the cold air."Because they were not an attack force," Oliver calculated. The horrible truth locked into place
