THE OZILLA GOLD SYSTEM

It is believed since ancient times that only King Midas had the power to create a miracle as whatever he touches turns to gold... A foolish misconception, just as Caesar Marcus Augustus Antoninus Aurelius once said: “The Creator has blest us each with heaven defying talent, some greater than others, but great nonetheless, all we have to do is simply unlock the full potential of these talents and we can create untold miracles..”

Yet in an sixty years in the future, humans evolved and began to awaken their innate ability, a human could only awaken just one ability, but it wasn't so for everyone as not everyone could awaken their innate ability. Those who awakened were given great status while those who had no affinity with elements were regarded as the scum of the earth.

“You seek redemption, I seek that which I crave the most: a sense of belonging. So tell me something oh wise one, which of us is the selfless one?” I said with a smirk on my face. Mangled human flesh littered the floor as blood dyed the floor and walls red. An old man riddled with bullet wounds lay down on the floor, one would think he's at the death's door but I knew otherwise, his ability was regeneration and I knew that even though he was at his limits, there's no way few bullets could kill him, this man...is also my uncle. This man was supposed to be the last one my list, but it all changed when I found out a week ago that he was the one who actually killed my Mother, I swore to sever his head before facing my dear step brother: Daniel Akkris Gayle.

“Look at my face!” I shouted as I grabbed the old man by the collar. He wheezed in pain but I didn't care. Blood seeped from his mouth, nose and the bullet wounds all over his body, yet he wasn't at death's door. I could see his body regenerating albeit at a slow pace, but he was healing nonetheless.

“You murdered my Mother, your own flesh and blood! Why!? For money!? Power!?” I screamed at his face but he just smiled.

“Family ties are so overrated foolish boy. The future king, your half brother promised me a place in this kingdom if I got rid of the trash threatening to soil his path...” he coughed out blood, then the smile returned to his face.

“It was either that or get my name into his death list. I chose to save myself. I'm sure you'll do the same. I can't believe that you survived that explosion and returned barely two years with this much power. I watched you drive off the Modoom mountain, and for that you should thank me, because now you have strength...” he coughed again but I held him in place.

“What do you mean you watched me drive off modoom mountain. I chose to commit suicide without anyone's knowledge. I chose that of my own freewill.” I said a bit confused.

“Did you?” he smirked, showing bloodied teeth.

“We called in the old man from the Alora family. I am sure you know exactly what their family is known for.” his smirk never left his face.

“Mind control!” I whispered. Now it all made perfect sense, if I die who benefits from my death if not Daniel, but a lot of things still didn't add up.

“You are lying. I was already useless and without elemental affinity, I was of no threat to the ascension of Daniel, and besides Father was going to announce him as the heir to the throne, so there was no way my existence could have stopped him.” I looked him straight in the eyes and stated the obvious.

“You really are naive. Your father the King could not announce his second born as heir whilst the first born still lives, Daniel knew this and this was why he orchestrated your suicide. He knew raping your little girlfriend will drive you insane which will be the access Jensen Alora needed to infiltrate your mind and push you towards the thought of suicide. Everything from the beginning was planned. We just did not know you will return from the dead.” he then squinted his eyes.

“How in the world did you survive?” he asked. I looked at him with hate. This man had been in cahoot with those who sought my demise, and here I was thinking my death will relieve me of the pain not knowing someone was waiting to benefit from my demise.

“Give me a chance and I will help you get the throne, I only desire a place in your kingdom.” he smiled as if he was offering me a trillion gold dramus. I felt so disgusted by this power hungry man who killed his own sister, as well as orchestrated the death of his nephew, all for the sake of power, such a man does not deserve to live. Once a betrayer, always a betrayer.

“You want me to spare you? Did you spare my mother?” I laughed at his absurdity.

“You want me to give you a chance to aid me? So what, you can betray me like you're betraying Daniel and my father? Or so you can plan my death anew? Sorry, but I won't make that kind of mistake.”

“Then you are a foolish child, I will make sure the King your father gives you a public execution. You will beg me to assist you.” he says with all conviction, but I simply smiled.

“And who says you will make it out of here alive?” I smiled at his naivety while he face showed enormous shock.

“You... you can't kill me, I am your Uncle, your own family. Killing me will be doing the same evil I did years ago. Surely you don't want to taint your hands with such evil. Reconsider this.” he pleaded but all his pleas fell on deaf ears.

“My name is Maximus Akkris Gayle, first son of King Akkris Gayle and first grandson of Oriole Gayle, I will eradicate evil or die trying. I will raise an Empire that rivals that of Kera kingdom, and none of you will escape my vengeance.” I said as I swung my sword across his neck, his head came cleanly off his shoulders and fell on the floor rolling a few feet from him.

“This is your retribution.”

«Regeneration ability upgraded to level nine.»

I will tell you my story and trust me its not as heroic as you believe. I was once a weakling, a punching bag, all because I was an illegitimate son of the King. Sir down fans, and let me the story of how rose from the bottom of social hierarchy to become the most powerful ability user in all of Kera.

My name is Maximus Akkris Gayle... And this is my story!
