2025-02-18 00:55:50Oliver picked himself off the floor and wiped the dust off his body. He straightened his shirt before heading to his class room. After walking down the hallway for a few minutes he finally arrived in front of the classroom and he walked in slowly.
Stepping into the class, Oliver found the students already seated and a teacher standing in front of the class. All eyes shifted towards Oliver the moment he walked in, and everyone all had a look of disgust after realizing who it was.
"Look would finally decided to join us." The female teacher muttered as she glared at Oliver in hate and disdain.
"I'm sorry..I had to run all the way here and then got into an accident." Oliver explained in a timid tone, and his head facing the concrete floor in shame.
"Of course, you lack money to use the public transportation. A trash like you can't even afford $5 to board a cab or an Uber? You are a disgrace, Oliver Beckett." The teacher known as Mrs Jane spat without holding back, and all Oliver could do was bury his head down with his blood boiling.
Since Oliver failed to awaken a talent on his sixteenth birthday, everyone turned their backs on him and also began to treat him like trash. His parents and family members who once loved him began to push him away the moment they realized he has no talent, and in no time he became a stranger to them and was forced to live all on his own.
Even the students and teachers only sees him as a trash that isn't worth to be living, and no one skips an opportunity to make him feel less of a human and remind him constantly about how unless he was in this world.
"Why is he even here anyway? We are having a test that requires us to display our talents, but this trash has nothing so I do not see any reason for his presence here!" A female student who sat in the first row of the class retorted, and her voice dripping with disgust as she glared at Oliver.
The girl's name was Davina Lee. The class's most beautiful and powerful female student. Her talent was almost on par with the teachers in the academy, and everyone treated her with respect.
"Davina is right! This trash would only be a waste of space here! He should go clean the toilets or sweep the school's premises instead of being here!" A girl who sat beside Davina chimed in, backing up the words of Davina.
The girl was known as Lydia Sparrow, the lackey of Davina and one of Oliver's top bullies.
"I understand how you all feel...believe me when I say I do. If it was up to me I would have sent out this trash to go wash the toilets and take out the trash, but the law states that all students should participate in this test." Mrs Jane remarked in a respectful tone.
"Is this guy supposed to be considered a student here? He's more of a nonliving thing! Anyone with no talent aren't refered to as living things anymore!" Davina retorted.
"I'm afraid it's the rule, Davina. All students should participate in the test." Mrs Jane responded with a slight bow, before shifting her gaze towards Oliver and glared at him in hate. "Go sit down, worthless human being." She spat.
Oliver nodded before walking to the extreme end of the class and sat down. His sit as isolated from the rest of the student's sit, and sometimes he could hardly hear the teachings of the teacher due to the distance.
Oliver sat on his seat, his blood boiling in both anger and sadness, and tears also gathered up in his eyes. But Oliver tried his best to not let it flow, afraid that if the students found out he was crying it would only add to his humiliation.
"Let's begin the test please!" Mrs Jane declared. "Once you hear your name please step forward and give us a glimpse of what your talent is all about!" She added,and the students gave a round of applause.
The teacher began by calling the names of the students one by one, and as their names were called, they stepped forward and displayed their abilities. The students displayed several abilities once they heard their names.
The ones with telekinesis ability were able to repeal chair and lift it into the air with their minds. The ones with elemental abilities like Fire, air, water, Earth, were able to create a glimpse of the ability. The fire users created a small flame at the top of their finger. The air users made the whole class filled with winds and caused the books on the desk to fly around.
The water users controlled the water inside several students water bottles and was able to bring it out the bottle and formed a weapon. While the earth users stomped their foot on the floor and a round earth rose.
The test carried on with students displaying several unique abilities, until it finally got to Oliver's turn.
"Oliver Beckett, please step forward!" Mrs Jane ordered. Oliver stood up from his chair and walked to the front of the class sluggishly. The students he walked past kept laughing at him as he made his way to the front.
Oliver stood in front the whole class, and his gaze glued to the floor, afraid of making eye contact.
"Oliver, please show us your ability." Mrs Jackson e instructed. Oliver nodded sluggishly as he slowly joined his palms together and shut his eyes.
He knew nothing would work, but he was really hoping for a miracle that would save him from all these humiliation. If he could manage to produce something peculiar, it means he won't get humiliated for not having any ability.
"You know what, that's enough, trash!" Mrs Jane shouted in anger after watching Oliver just stand there doing nothing for several minutes.

The command room in the ruined city hall was completely dark. The giant silver hologram was dead. The screen was black.Commander Oliver stood alone. He did not move. He did not blink.Just two minutes ago, he had watched the Wraithborn King murder the leaders of humanity. He had watched the Overlord use the human quantum communication line to teleport directly to Earth. The core worlds were burning. The capital of the human race was falling.Oliver looked at his right hand. The thick white bandages were gone. His hand was made of smooth, heavy, black metal. It was Wraithborn magic. Tiny purple lines glowed under the dark metal. The hand did not shake.The heavy wooden doors of the command room slammed open.Captain Iris ran into the room. Her left arm was still in a thick white cast. Her beautiful face was covered in dirt and gray ash. Behind her, Billy the hacker rushed in. Billy was holding his computer tablet. He was breathing very hard."Oliver!" Iris yelled. "The power grid spik

Inside, the alien black coin was resting quietly. It glowed faintly. Oliver picked up the coin with his black metal right hand. The coin and his hand were made of the exact same dark magic. When they touched, they synced perfectly. The purple light brightened.Oliver felt a rush of cold, dark data flow up his arm. It did not hurt anymore. It felt powerful."The Overlord is watching the neighbor planets," Oliver whispered to himself. "I must inform the Council."Oliver walked to the back of the room. He approached the large, secure quantum communication terminal. This was the machine that could talk across the universe, reaching the core worlds of humanity.Oliver pressed his metal hand against the scanner. The machine hummed loudly. VMMMMMM.A brilliant, liquid silver light exploded in the center of the room. The post-singularity glow illuminated the broken walls of the city hall. It was a beautiful, pure human technology.Three giant faces appeared in the silver light. The Travele

"What are the Wraithborn doing?" Oliver asked. This was the most important question. Oliver watched Billy's face closely.Billy frowned. He pulled up a new graph. It showed red lines measuring enemy magic."This is the strange part, boss," Billy said. He scratched his messy hair. "The Wraithborn energy readings on our surface are dropping. They are getting weaker."Captain Ren, who had just walked into the room, gasped. "Are they retreating? Did you scare them away, Commander?""The Overlord does not feel fear," Oliver said coldly. "If his energy is dropping here, it means he is moving it somewhere else. Billy. Scan the adjacent sectors. Scan Delta-9 and Echo-4."Billy typed furiously. A larger map of the solar system appeared.The planets Delta-9 and Echo-4 were still floating near Sigma-12 in the purple Rift space.Billy gasped. "You are right, boss. The enemy energy is spiking on the neighbor planets. It is growing massively. Millions of new monsters are appearing in the dark space

The red screens in the underground bunker glowed like fresh blood. The heavy steel walls shook. The terrible, deep voice of the Overlord echoed through the hidden speakers. The monster was not in the room, but his mind was in the computer. He had followed the alien black coin in Commander Oliver’s hand."Your perfect math... belongs to me now," the Overlord laughed.The twenty-two miners screamed. Young Sam covered his ears and fell to the floor. Captain Ren raised her plasma rifle, but she did not know what to shoot. There was nothing to shoot. The enemy was inside the wires.Captain Iris backed away from the red screens. "Oliver! You brought him inside! The bunker is compromised!"Oliver stood in the center of the white room. He did not panic. He did not drop the coin. He looked at the red screens. He analyzed the data."The Overlord is broadcasting his consciousness through the Key of Echoes," Oliver stated calmly. "He is using the coin as a wireless bridge. He is hacking the loca

The sixty soldiers quietly raised their guns. They aimed at the blank, solid stone walls exactly where Oliver told them to aim.The terrified miners in the middle of the group did not know what was happening. They just kept walking up the ramp."Fire in three," Oliver counted down perfectly. "Two. One. Execute."KABOOOOOM!Sixty heavy plasma rifles fired at the exact same millisecond.The bright blue lasers blasted into the solid stone walls. The heat melted the rock instantly.Terrible, high-pitched screams erupted from inside the walls. SCREEEEECH!The human soldiers had shot the Wraithborn monsters before the monsters even knew they were seen. Dozens of hidden Acid-Crawlers and Phase Sentries were burned to ash inside their own hiding spots. Black smoke poured out of the melted holes in the rock."Reload," Oliver commanded cleanly. "Target sector four. Aim up at a thirty-degree angle. Fire."BANG! BANG! BANG!The soldiers fired again. More hidden monsters died inside the ceiling.

"It is a tactical advantage," Oliver said. He closed his metal fingers slightly to dim the light. "The hidden ladder is blocked. The Overlord knows we are here. We cannot use the standard paths.""Then how do we escape?" a miner asked, crying. "We are trapped miles underground!""We will not be trapped," Oliver said smoothly. "I have mapped the entire subterranean network. I have located a secondary route. I call it the Spiral Ascendant. It is an old, natural fault line that leads directly to the lowest level of the city’s civilian bunkers."Lira floated down from the ceiling. She hovered next to Oliver’s ear."The Spiral Ascendant is highly unstable, Oliver," Lira whispered. "The Rift magic is boiling the rock there. If you take these fragile humans through that path, the floor will collapse. They will fall into the magma."Oliver did not look at the ghost. He looked at Captain Ren."Captain Ren," Oliver ordered. "Do you have portable Anchor-stabilizers in your supply packs?"Ren nod
