For a week, the world government verified that Challengers that played Evangelion are the only ones who could kill the monsters, although the reason behind it was unknown. Suddenly a month after the first rupture, training schools had been built to train challengers, aged 5 to 18 to teach them combat and survival skills, as well as to familiarize them with the system.
The use of glasses was also replaced by contact lenses to help in mobility, since there are reports that Challengers with outdated glasses break during intense fights, causing a lot of quest accidents. At first the old version of the "Iris Lens" system only allowed a few features, so many tech companies are focusing on developing a more advanced second version. I recently found out that they will be using holographic and spatial dimension technology research by studying the rupture.

"Azriel, someone came to visit!" 'I don't want to go' That was what came to my mind as I heard the words of the NPC monitoring me. After all, I caused a huge commotion during the first Promotional Exam when I was able to outsmart the testing area after using the crystallized essence of holy energy gathered in an A-tier quest to be ranked A-tier in holy power, with the money I got I was able to buy it in an localized auction. Of course I was properly re-evaluated and came to realize I was an F-tier, lower than the lowest expected tier-grade which was E-tier. In comparison, F-tier is no different than a normal human, while E-tier is within human peak level. I covered myself with a blanket as a w
Monsters of different forms exited the crack in space, luckily for now the smaller, and weaker monsters were the only ones who escaped. Of course, we would find it rather scary to face a bigger monster all of a sudden, although we were already screwed since that only means that far stronger monsters are waiting for us on the other side. "Uhm, excuse me, Mr. Iliac…." The Association NPC called my attention, "Are you sure, it was ok not to wear any protective equipment!?" "…." I purposely paused, and studied the mood for a bit before returning my gaze back at her, "I'm going to be fine since I'm the strongest F-tier in the world," I meant
The day is about to end and the NPC's are wrapping up the situation, as announcements are now being broadcast in the area that the rupture has been managed. "Oh, look at the time… well as much as we wanted to chat, we have a lot of things going on since we are busy subjugating a quest, but thankfully we met here," Vanessa said. "You see, we've been planning to give this to Big Bro as thanks for all your guidance back in training school and at the guild," Latina said and gave me a green mint colored ring. "That is a Qilin Artifact, it might not be much but we thought you would like it's skill <AirWalk> and <Guardianship>," Janella continued. "The <AirWalk> sk
It has been two days, and being constantly attacked by waves of monsters every next hour sickens me. I hardly had time to recover from my fatigue, my body's limit is approaching. Looking at my ration of 12 potions, 5 blue potions, 3 demon poisoning, and 4 recovery potions, I calculated that I would only last for three more days. How many mini ruptures do I even need to subjugate before this nightmare ends. Is there even a progress bar? Doing this blindly makes me think that my efforts are in vain. Gulp. I drank a bottle of recovery potion and regained some of my strength, and reduced my fatigue.
I formed a worried smile as I walked calmly forward. It was still a couple of minutes of endless darkness even when using the <Shadow Transfer>. Just how long did I travel? As I was already at the entrance of the Chamber, I carefully opened the door and a wide abandoned room greeted my presence. When I made a few steps into the room, I heard a wisp of sound coming from the crevices of the blueish-black brick walls. I took careful steps, sensing every movement from the area. Cobwebs linger everywhere, and antique furniture layered with dust sits perfectly arranged in the corners of the room. I didn't waste much time and walked farther to explore.
The vial is well preserved and still looks as good as new. As I was about to bring out the silver key that I got from the other room, someone appeared in front of me. It's planning to steal the key in my hands. Before I could even think, the battle had already transpired. It happened in a blink of an eye. 'It won’t let me obtain the essence.' Regrettable, but there was nothing he could do but defeat this shadowy figure. I hid the key in my inventory and brought out my Chromium Tungsten-steel sword. Wrapping the short sword with holy energy, I tried to slash it but upon touching the sword it dissolved into dust….&nb
The reddish sky was tranquil, yet the wind was echoing as I walked the path towards the main Cave's entrance. Suddenly my senses tingled as I felt an enormous amount of demonic energy forming in one place. I instinctively raised my sword, yet nothing sudden happened. "Perhaps it was only my imagination," I said to myself as I made sure the place was peaceful and quiet— until I felt the basalt ground shaking. I saw the pool of lava moving and the sapling of the "Tree of Life and Death" become restless. I jumped straight towards the deforming rocks as it spewed smoke from its crevices. Slowly I looked up and saw sulfuric dust falling down from the ceiling as the nearby volcano was rumbling. Then I thought to myself, it was definitely those Gole
I quickly dash forward and immediately extend my feet and run mid-air dodging every upcoming lava fumes before it even sprouts. <AirWalk>!!! Right now I could jump from one point to another in mid-air and it seems that I could go a bit higher also. It was getting chaotic below me as a chain of lava fountains sprouted non-stop. The lava began to cool down, as the red gooey liquid slowly became hardened black. After ensuring that the below ground was now safe enough for me to land I withdrew the skill <AirWalk>, and I went down the smoldering remnants of the basalt. Tumble-! I landed gently on the ground, surro
