2025-02-18 00:56:29Oliver's eyes snapped open after hearing the words of the teacher, and the students spectating couldn't help but laugh at the distracing act from Oliver.
"Go back to your seat, trash, you have no talent to be recorded." Mrs Jane spoke, glaring at Oliver in disdain. Oliver nodded sluggishly as he began to walk back to his seat with a heavy heart, and his eyes glued to the floor to avoid the hateful glares from his classmates.
Oliver sat down on his seat and placed his head on the desk, unable to hold it in any longer, he let the tears flow, but tried his best to stay silent.
The whole world changed after a rift tore open in a certain part of Earth, and powerful beasts that could use strange abilities flooded earth and plunged Earth into immediate danger. During the whole chaos, few individuals discovered that it was possible for them to tap into their inner core and awaken Talents.
The few individuals who discovered it first were able to tap into their core and awaken different powerful abilities, which they used against the beasts and later succeeded in chasing them back to their world.
After the whole chaos was over, the first people who awakened talents began to pass down their knowledge among the people, helping them to awaken several talents that would be very important in case if another invasion happens.
As time passed by, the government made it a law that every child that gets to the age of 16 should go through the awakening ritual and awaken their talents. Parents began to get their children prepared for the day by buying them books related to awakening and giving them the necessary trainings so on that day it would be easy to awaken a talent and become someone in the new world.
Oliver, on the other hand, lost is parents in the first invasion,and didn't get any special trainings that would prepare him for the awakening. That was one of the reason why he failed to awaken any talent.
His parents didn't leave behind any talent books for him to study like other parents, the only thing they left behind was his medical pills for his heart condition. And with no Talent book to study, he had no idea how it really worked and ended up with nothing.
And his foster parents were poor and also couldn't afford one of those books. After Oliver failed to awaken any talent, his foster parents began to treat him like a trash and stranger, until they finally threw him out of the house.
"Why must my case be different from others?" Oliver cried, his head still on the locker to avoid anyone noticing.
Classes for the day was finally over, and Oliver wasted no time in exiting the school premisses. He already went through enough hell for one day and couldn't being himself to spend even one more minute there.
Oliver walked through the streets as usual as he made his way back home. In less than thirty minutes, he arrived back home and walked inside.
It was a one room apartment that barely had enough space to fit in a bed and a cupboard. Oliver threw himself on his bed with his head facing the ceiling that had a hole on it and he could actually see the evening sky through it.
"The entrance test of the Travelers is in a few months time. How am I supposed to contest in the test when I don't even have any talent!" Alex screamed internally with a saddened expression.
After losing his parents in the monsters invasion, Oliver has always had this dream of becoming a Traveler. Travelers is a group of powerful Awakeners that makes sure they keep the world safe and avoid any more invasions.
They also travel through planets, hunting down beasts and collecting their valuable body parts. Oliver has always wanted to become a Traveler to teach those monsters a lesson and also prevent any more invasions that could ruin more families.
However, with the way things were going so far, Oliver wasn't sure if that little dream of his would come to pass.
Before one could become a Traveler, one must first undergo a tough test that proves he is indeed ready to become a Traveler. And the test only happens ones in years, and in different locations.
The test would happen in a few months from now and also in Oliver's school.
"It seems I'll have to forget about it and live the rest of my life as a nobod-" Oliver began to cough suddenly and he stood up from his bed with his left hand on his chest, making his way towards his small wooden cupboard.
Oliver opened the cupboard and took out a small round container that a single blue pill could be seen inside.
"Damn it, just one pill left?" Oliver exclaimed, his eyes glued to the pill inside the transparent container and he was still coughing non-stop. Oliver was born with a heart problem, and the only way to stop the heart problem temporarily was if he keeps taking the pills whenever it happens.
Oliver had no idea what the source of the pills was from, his parents only handed it over to him before they died, and since then he has been swallowing them whenever the issue starts.
"If I take the last one, what would happen later when it starts again?" Oliver contemplated, his whole face now drenched in sweat and bright red due to coughing heavily. "Screw that! Let me worry about living past today first!"
Oliver then opened the container and threw the pill into his mouth, before swallowing it instantly. He picked up a glass of water and gulped it all and placed the glass back on the table.
Oliver wiped his mouth and turned to return back to his bed, but his visions became blurry and it felt like his head was spinning which allowed him to lose balance and fall to the floor.
"What's... happening?" Oliver mused as his eyes began to close and he could barely see anything.
[YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TASK BY CONSUMING ALL ENERGY PILLS]
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE AWAKENED YOUR DIVINE TALENT.....]
Unable to fight it any longer, Oliver finally passed out.

Chapter 826
The cold wind screamed past Commander Oliver’s face. He was falling. The beautiful wings of light were gone. The Sword of Radiance in his hand was no longer a glowing weapon. The ancient creators had judged him. They saw the dark magic in his blood. They turned the holy sword into a heavy, useless piece of dead gray stone. Oliver dropped like a rock toward the burning abyss. He did not panic. He watched the solid stone plateau rushing up to meet him. He calculated his speed. He measured the exact distance to the ground. He waited until the last possible microsecond. Oliver aimed his pitch-black, Wraithborn metal right arm straight down at the ground. He released a massive, concentrated pulse of dark gravity magic. The invisible shockwave hit the stone floor. The opposite force pushed Oliver violently upward, breaking his fall. He crashed heavily onto the hard rock. He rolled three times through the thick gray dust. He slammed into the side of a broken boulder and stopped. For a
Chapter 825
Commander Oliver stared straight up. The red clouds were not clouds. They were the soft, wet, bleeding flesh of a giant throat. Millions of jagged black teeth hung miles above their heads. The teeth were the size of mountains. The entire planet of Sigma-12 was already swallowed. Oliver, his terrified squad, and the two dark gods were standing on a tiny rock inside the belly of the Overlord. "We are inside it," Billy the hacker whispered. He dropped his cracked tablet. His eyes were wide with total horror. "The sky is a mouth. We are going to be eaten." Captain Iris fell to her knees. General Vega lowered her gun. The human soldiers lost all their hope. The Anti-God floated in the hot air. It wore the stolen, rotting face of the dead Archangel. It laughed a wet, terrible laugh. "You see the truth now, little machine," the Anti-God mocked. "You cannot fight a cage when you are already inside the stomach. Put the shiny sword down. Die quietly." Oliver did not put the sword down. Hi
Chapter 824
The explosion of pure light and dark magic inside Commander Oliver’s fist ripped the ground apart. The fiery abyss below opened wide. Millions of tons of rock tumbled into the boiling orange lava. Oliver did not fall. He released the explosive magic from his hand. The blast pushed him straight up into the air. He grabbed the heavy, broken body of Archangel Seraphael with his human arm. "Hold on!" Oliver shouted to his squad. The kinetic shockwave carried them all. General Vega, Sergeant Miller, and the others rode the blast of hot air. They flew upward, escaping the collapsing cliff. They crashed onto a high, flat plateau of black stone. It was the tallest peak in the ruined valley. Below them, the entire continent finally crumbled. The land sank into the ocean of liquid fire. The heat was blinding, but the high plateau stood firm. Oliver laid the giant angel gently on the ground. Seraphael was barely breathing. The black curse from the Reaper’s scythe had eaten almost his entir
Chapter 823
The two dark gods floated down from the bleeding red sky. The Anti-God smiled. Its face was a rotting, fleshy copy of Seraphael. Dark blood dripped from its mouth. The Reaper did not smile. It wore a dark hood of pure, swirling void. It held a massive scythe made of dead, crushed stars. Commander Oliver stood at the very edge of the burning cliff. He held his small titanium combat knife in his human left hand. His black metal right arm hung quietly at his side. He did not show any fear. His cold mind saw the exact level of danger. Behind him, the human squad trembled. General Vega held her empty crystal rifle. Sergeant Miller guarded the weeping civilians. They had no place to run. The cliff dropped away into a boiling river of orange lava."They are going to erase us," Billy the hacker whispered. He hugged his cracked tablet to his chest. The Reaper glided forward in the air. It raised its giant, starry scythe high above its hooded head. It did not aim at Oliver’s neck. It aimed
Chapter 822
The bleeding, fleshy angel smiled. Thick, dark blood dripped from its rotting teeth. Archangel Seraphael stared at the horrific copy of himself. The great golden warrior fell to his knees. He dropped his lightning spear. His holy light faded into a weak, sad glow. He could not fight a monster that wore his own face and was made of dead human hands. "Brother," the corrupted angel mocked. The Overlord’s dark voice echoed from its throat. "I have come to bring you into the dark." The creature raised its spear of black shadows. It aimed at Seraphael’s heart. Commander Oliver did not freeze. He did not feel pity. He saw the danger clearly. If the golden angel died, the squad would lose their only heavy shield. Oliver lunged forward. He kicked the heavy golden lightning spear across the glass floor. The weapon slid directly into Seraphael’s armored hands. "Pick up your weapon," Oliver ordered. His voice was cold, sharp steel. "That is not your brother. It is a biological trick. It is
Chapter 821
The freezing, skeletal fingers of the Reaper crushed Commander Oliver’s throat. They fell together through the pitch-black void. The wind roared. The god-killer stared into Oliver’s eyes. The monster’s empty, dark hood hid its face, but Oliver felt its terrible hunger. The Reaper raised its other hand. Long, sharp bone claws reached for Oliver’s chest. The monster wanted the alien black coin buried inside his flesh. Oliver could not breathe. His black metal right arm was pinned against his side. His human left hand tried to push the monster away, but the Reaper was as heavy as a mountain. His vision began to turn dark. His perfect mind knew he had exactly three seconds left to live. Suddenly, the dark void exploded with blinding golden light. Archangel Seraphael flew through the empty space like a falling star. The giant angel had recovered. His massive wings of hard white light beat furiously. He raised his sparking lightning spear. The spear smashed into the Reaper’s skeletal
