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.

Chapter 451
Oliver sat cross-legged in the crystalline meditation chamber, the air around him still but humming faintly, as if anticipating the next beat of his heart. The shards of the plateau’s Rift remnants glimmered faintly outside the reinforced viewports, each pulse of light tracing the invisible seams of reality that he alone could feel. His Reality Anchor thrummed in tandem with the chamber, a low vibration that carried through his bones. For the first time in months, the world felt both heavy and hollow.He closed his eyes, letting his senses stretch into the ether, reaching toward the small fissures of unstable energy that dotted the surrounding lands. The moment was quiet, sacred, a pause between storms. And then, the pulse changed. It was sharper, more insistent, and the familiar System tone echoed in his mind with a clarity that made his teeth clench.“User Oliver,” the voice said, calm but unyielding. “Synchronization threshold exceeded. New parameter available.”Oliver’s eyes s

The morning sunlight struck the crystalline towers of Solara Vant with a glare that made the polished surfaces almost unbearable to look at directly. In the training courtyard, Iris stood at the center of a semicircle of cadets, her arm still bandaged from the last Rift engagement, though it no longer slowed her. Her boots clicked sharply on the glass tiles with each step as she circled them, the sound echoing across the open space.The cadets shifted nervously, eyes wide, holding their weapons with hands that trembled just slightly. Iris didn’t allow herself to flinch at the heat of their gazes. She had walked through fires that would have consumed them in seconds.“You’re not here to prove yourselves,” she said, voice firm, carrying across the courtyard. “You’re here to learn to hold others up when the world tries to knock them down. Not just to fight, learn to save.”A young cadet, barely sixteen, stumbled forward, a trainee blade clutched in his hands. “Ma’am, I don’t know if I

The hangar smelled of fuel, dust, and ozone. Dim strips of light hung from the ceiling, casting long shadows across crates stacked high like silent sentinels. Billy moved along the corridor, his boots clicking sharply against the metal grating. He kept his head down, glancing at the walls where old transport schematics and repair logs were pinned in haphazard order. The building was abandoned in name only; the air vibrated with whispered transactions, the faint hum of illicit commerce.At the far end of the hall, a figure stepped out of the darkness. He wore a long coat stitched with pockets, each seam glinting with metal clasps, and a wide-brimmed hat that hid most of his face. The faint glow of the hangar’s emergency lights outlined him, creating a halo of menace. “You’re late,” the man said, his voice smooth, controlled.Billy shook his head, closing the distance between them. “Traffic,” he said, his tone casual, though his eyes scanned every corner. “Never thought I’d meet in a

The sky above Solara Vant shimmered with fractured sunlight, refracted by the crystal towers that lined the city’s central plaza. Thousands of drones hovered in precise formation, tracing constellations across the morning air. Oliver Beckett stood at the edge of the landing platform, the black shard secured in a containment field beneath his arm. Below, the streets swarmed with civilians, military units, and Scholars from every corner of the Traveler network, all awaiting the emergency assembly convened at the Hall of Mirrors.The ship’s ramp lowered, and Oliver’s boots echoed across the polished surface. Iris fell into step beside him, her bandaged arm wrapped carefully, her eyes alert to every movement in the crowd. Billy lingered slightly behind, scanning for anomalies, his usual grin tempered by the weight of recent battles.The Hall of Mirrors rose like a cathedral of light. Walls of polished crystal reflected infinite versions of the approaching delegation, while the ceiling

The Vigilant Dawn cut through the twilight sky like a blade, silver thrusters leaving streaks against the dying sun.Below, Solara Vant’s h orizon shimmered with lights, a mosaic of celebration and relief.Cities along the return route had lit beacons in honor of the returning fleet, lanterns floating from rooftops and sky-bridges, drifting toward the stars as if carrying silent prayers. From the observation deck, Oliver leaned on the railing, armor scorched and dented, his gauntlets still humming faintly with residual Reality Anchor energy. The black shard rested in his palm, its surface slick with an unnatural darkness, pulsing slowly in rhythm with his heartbeat.Iris approached quietly, her steps muted against the alloy floor. Her eyes swept the horizon, then softened as they met his. “You should rest,” she said, voice calm but firm. She rested a hand on his shoulder. “The fleet is secure. The world is looking at us. But you’re not invincible, Oliver.”He did not respond at onc

The wind howled across the black glass of the Sable Plateau, whipping shards of Rift energy into glittering arcs that cut through the dust. The battlefield was silent in a way that felt unnatural, as if the world itself had paused to measure the aftermath. Oliver stepped cautiously over the reflective surface, each footfall sending ripples of light across the fractured ground. His armor was scorched, the edges glowing faintly where the Divine Anchor’s energy had overextended, yet his movements remained deliberate, measured.Iris followed close behind, her Light Division visor scanning for residual anomalies. She crouched beside a cluster of fractured crystals, hand hovering over the surface. Her glyph projections flickered and pulsed with faint data echoes. “Oliver, come look at this,” she said. Her voice was calm but carried a weight that made Oliver stop.He knelt beside her, eyes narrowing at the subtle waves of energy emanating from the cluster. “What is it?” he asked.“Data r
