Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Ace Blaze.

.....

The Asmodeus Serpent entered the narrow road only when we were almost at the door.

And, as I expected, the road space was barely enough to contain the monster, and this was just its head.

Although it slowed the Asmodeus Serpent's speed, the monster was still able to push through with its strength.

'I miscalculated. 'It's a lot stronger than I thought,' I thought as I turned away from the monster and rushed through the open door, closing it immediately after Anna entered.

Glancing at the locks at the back of the door, I made sure I used everything I could to lock the door because I don't think the narrow space can hold the monster off for long, and as I predicted, as soon as I placed the last lock on the door, I heard a loud bang from outside.

And who else would attack the door if not the snake outside?

Looking at the current state of the door, it should be able to keep the Asmodeus Serpent at bay for a longer time than the narrow road did.

Breathing in and out, my panting subsided as I asked Anna, who was still crying, how she was doing while hurrying forward.

"A-a-am fine," she said as she pursued me and continued;

"Where is this?" she inquired.

"Don't you know where this is? The majority of our classmates come here regularly ", I said as I averted my gaze from her when I noticed she was looking around.

It was clear at a quick glance that this was a relaxation center by looking at the surroundings of the building, which I frequent frequently because the air is comfortable here. You could see a lot of gaming equipment, high tech computers by the side, and other things.

"No wonder I don't know this place," Anna continued to say.

"Looking around, it's clear that this place is expensive, and there's no way I'm going to waste the little money I have to play. If you come here frequently, you must be a wealthy student in Grade 12 final year class C or higher "She said this as she came to a halt and looked at me with a look of surprise on her face.

"What was your name again?" she inquired.

Despite my confusion as to why she would ask that question, especially in this situation, I answered, not slowing my charge as I head to a specific room underground.

"Ace Blaze," I said, and she kept repeating my name as if she was trying to recall something.

When she remembered what she wanted to remember, she looked at me with shock and spoke in a low tone, though the tone of her voice sounded strange.

It had a high pitch.

"Are you, in fact, the Ace Blaze?" She continued, saying:

"The Ace Blaze, who won several international competitions?" "The Ace Blaze, who has been named one of our dawn empire's greatest young inventors?" "The enigmatic Ace Blaze, who has never been seen on the internet and whose only known location is that he attends Dawn College?" "The Ace Blaze, the last child of Mrs. Agneya Blaze, one of the world's greatest inventors, and the younger brother of Miss Lily Blazes, one of the world's youngest doctors?"

"Are you that Ace Blaze?" she asked hurriedly, her face red from talking too much just now.

'Does she have to act that way?' I thought as I remembered that this is still the same question I ask myself whenever someone behaves similarly to Anna now.

It's not my fault that I've 'learned' a lot of things as a result of my condition, and the so-called global competitions she mentions seem like child's play in my opinion.

Or is it my fault that my mother and sister's professions influenced how I learned?

And I had never wanted the empire to bestow a title on me in the first place.

But, seriously, what made the old age government have their power get into their heads and become irritating to those powerful underground families who later revolted and established their own 'empire'?

I doubt the government of the past will have the time to announce my title regularly.

I ignored her questions and quickly made my way to the door I had planned to go to from the start.

Seeing this, she shut up and remained silent as she quietly followed me, realizing that this was not the place for us to relax and converse with the death reaper literally just a door away.

'What a slow girl,' I thought as I opened the door to the room that might have what I needed to survive.

...

When all this was happening, apart from the monster he saw, Ace failed to notice anything else during this, including the golden letters written in the night sky:

[Time remaining for stage one to end: 11 hours, 47 minutes, and 35 seconds],

With all of these strange events happening one after the other, it was unclear how many people would perish.

And this was only the beginning.

The weak are being eliminated.

But what happens now that the 'weak' has been eliminated?

What stages will Plant Spe and its inhabitants go through next?

Will Ace Blazes, a genius, be among those who instill hope in this new world?

.....

in a different location;

Two women with weapons in their hands were having a conversation in front of a 2-meter-tall bull.

A woman who appeared to be in her mid-40s, but age couldn't take away her beauty, and a female who appeared to be in her early twenties on the side, sharing similar characteristics with the middle-aged woman on the side.

"Mother," the woman in her early twenties said as she continued;

"Do you think brother will be alright?" In a worried tone, she asked the middle-aged woman who appears to be her mother a question.

Waiting a few seconds before responding, the middle-aged woman looked at the black sky with the golden letters with a worried expression on her face, then replied to her daughter with a slightly confident tone;

"You don't need to be concerned about Ace; with his abilities, I'm confident he'll be fine as long as he finds the right tools. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to go looking for my son ", the woman said, and her daughter smiled and nodded before they left their current location for another one.
