Eye System

Chapter 4: Ready For The Future

Within a forsaken warehouse, in a small room lay an injured dark-toned man with a brawny body, about average height, short black hair, and from his wristwatch, you could see that he was an LVL 15 Mortal.

The wrist watches were given to everyone when they were born to rank their LVL and a different watch is provided after every main realm.

In the corner of the room was a young boy with a slim body and curly brown hair that was looking at the muscular man with anticipation.

The muscular Kris noticing the gaze of anticipation from the young man gave him advice that he really needed to hear.

"Kid, you have a lot of potential and don't need to die on this battlefield at such a young age, you should leave," mumbled the injured Kris.

Seeing that he was awake Lex jumped up and squatted beside him.

"Sir, I crave to enter the rebel troops and topple the government for the vaster welfare of humanity," he confessed earnestly, yet from his ghastly appearance, one could tell he wasn't ready for the battlefield.

However, the response he received delivered him a great surprise and caused him to pout like a child, as the wounded Kris began to chuckle and burst out into laughter.

"Listen, boy, you shouldn't enrol in the rebel troops, we are exceedingly vulnerable and the process we are seeking to create a change won't work," he muttered as blood began to coagulate in his throat, signifying his demise was near.

"There is no right or wrong in this world and solely strength can produce the changes that you want to implement" stated Kris.

Looking at Lex who didn't seem to be heading his advice, Kris became frustrated at Lex's ignorant and reckless nature.

"Listen! The administration has beheaded our leader, and we have been sold out! The base is no more, everybody is dead, I can be deemed one of the last alive! So please by any knowledge don't try to absurdly improve the world with your measly power! " he warned while coughing.

"Kid, you should knock them at their own play, grow so powerful that you should make all the domains in chaos, freeze by only the mention of your name. Execute it so that they won't even contemplate escaping, make them collapse in hopelessness when they discover that they are your prey! Signify the sovereign," he said while clutching Lex's bloodied fists as he choked out a clump of blood.

Leaving Lex his final piece of advice, Kris' internal organs crumpled and his eyes gently closed.

His life had ended.

"No" shrieked Lex, wishing that this it was all a nightmare and he would wake up soon.

SLAP.

He thrust his palm onto his face to wake himself up from his childlike immaturity.

He picked up the lifeless body and utilizing the Weapon creation skill made a shovel and commenced digging with his own hands and buried him.

"Here lies an upright soldier" he stated as he bowed thrice to the grave he made for Kris.

While squatting near the grave.

Lex had fixated his mind on being so powerful, that no humans in tough situations had to endure anymore, although he hadn't even commenced accomplishing his aim.

[I will grow to become the strength of humanity and will be so strong, that everybody who will accompany me has to never tolerate anything], he promised within his mind ignorantly as he stamped what the injured rebel told him to do, within his heart.

[I am presently LVL 5 at the age of 14, meaning I can pass to be able to recommence training in Heaven soaring Academy, also known as central high school, and will be able to train in the numerous biomes and beast dimensions] he decided.

Beast Dimensions had beasts who were much stronger than humans due to their abnormal bodies and the power to use their beast cores made up of energy.

Humans after killing beasts, use the beast cores to gain some energy to increase their LVL, and there is an extremely small chance of obtaining a Beast Power.

Beast Powers are split into the categories: transmutation, summoning, weaponry and armour and are based on the LVLs, the beast, and the rank of the dimension, they were seized from, with the beasts also having the same levels as humans.

[I should hunt beast cores and use the most of them to strengthen myself and auction the rest], he planned within his mind, trying to divert himself with anything to forget about what had just happened.

Although the junior high school was concluded when he became 14, it was only for those without talent in levelling and would require him to discover another job.

Nevertheless, after a week the Heaven Soaring Academy would reopen to recruit those that are under 16 years and at LVL 5.

It arranges the same thing each year and was the flawless opportunity that Lex needed to become more powerful and more experienced.

Heaven soaring academy was very unrestricted and didn't have many edicts, but it did have a fabulous prominence of creating many elites of the levelling world and you wouldn't be able to join through status and wealth.

It was also known for its hoodlum nature of never receiving bribes or admitting someone for his/her extraordinary status; still, there were thousands of rich young masters trying their luck and wanting to enter the academy as its prominence was a stigma of arrogance for its students.

Despite this, its principal was the most powerful leveller on Earth.

After junior high school concluded there was a 1-week interim before you would determine what you were going to do next.

In the prior 5 days, Lex was recovering and training, but now he had to reach the school which was in the capital that was thousands of miles away in a day as it was soon dawn.

When he went out and flew near the battlefield, his mental state and aims in life were in shambles and he was immature and weak yet wanted to achieve world-changing feats.

His aims and his emotions juxtaposed each other, with his aim to help humanity, but his feeling of hate towards them for how he was treated throughout his life.

But soon dispelled all of it and left the abandoned building he was hiding in. 

He soon saw something that made his blood churn in anger and despair, he saw thousands of people whose bodies were mutilated defyingly and limbs torn and shredded throughout the plains.

The worst part was the heads of the rebels were skewered and staked, while he also saw some soldiers burning the rebel soldiers alive.

After vomiting all the fish, he had eaten, and after there was nothing else to vomit, he awoke from his shaken state and remembered that to reform humanity and battle other races, death and sacrifices were necessary.

He couldn't believe how cruel fellow humans were against each other.

He wanted to save them, but he knew it was just a death wish. 

Seeing the gruesome scenes, he deeply engraved it into his heat to get revenge later on and it was a massive eye-opener for Lex who was very unexperienced in life.

Knowing that he couldn't do anything, he quietly left the area and soon arrived at the mech battlegrounds.

With a plan of action in hand, Lex first lurked where the two mechas of government and rebel soldiers challenged and after discerning that nobody took the two mechs, due to malfunctions maybe and with no soldiers nearby, he went into that purple mecha.

After rummaging for a while, he grinningly found 5 to 6 thousand spirit coins in both the mechas and then initiated self-destruction in both of them.

Then using the hoverboard, that he formed with the Weapon Creation Skill, sped off in the direction of Heaven roaring academy

And soon rather two enormous shockwaves and a cloud of dust engulfed in a ball of fire could be viewed in a distance.

As a poor lonely person, Lex would spend most of his time on Skynet researching about all technology bestowed to the public and was extremely intelligent.

The technology was a way for those with less talent to find a way to keep up in strength with those that could LVL up and accomplish incredible feats.

For a long time, Lex saw technology as his only way for him to get his footing in society.

Now that Lex had the Eye System, he could now break past the shackles of mortality and weakness, and become a powerful leveller like he had always dreamed.

He knew it would be arduous and a journey where he may hang innumerable times, but he had no choice currently and felt that his life was a mess, and the only thing giving him purpose was the Eye System and the drive for strength.

Lex was reckless in his decisions and easily changed his mind and aims after witnessing something that swayed him, but there was one thing that was concrete, which was his pursuit of strength.

{Ding, the host has completed the sub-mission to kill the government soldier and save the rebel, however, at the time host was very focused and scared, so I didn't want to alarm you: Rewards - Scouting Eye} announced the system.

Hearing the system's sudden announcement, he was overjoyed.

He had gotten a new eye and also thousands of spirit coins.

Lex's whole savings of 14 years only amounted to 500 spirit coins, which he spent in a jiffy and still feeling sad about it.

[System how does Scouting Eye work and what rank is it] asked Lex.

{Ding, Scouting Eye is not ranked and its range will increase with your power, its only function is to be able to see everything in the area around you and the distance depends on your power} disclosed to him the system.

He immediately activated it wanting to try it out.

Scouting Eye.

If he could see his reflection, he would realize the previously blue iris became white concealing with his cornea, and now had a completely white eyeball.

Instantly he could see everything 360 degrees encompassing him, with a radius of 50 meters clearly and a further 100 meters not as explicitly.

[I can clearly see the wings of the little fly buzzing around 10 meters behind me] he said to himself in awe.

He was mesmerized by his new power.

But then the realisation struck him.

He was rewarded for being a murderer and he was struggling to shake off the guilt that he was feeling as a mere 14-year-old, to witness the gruesome scenes of war and have blood on his hands.

After he finally woke up from his nightmares and guilt, by repeatedly slapping himself, he saw the sun began to rise.

Now with levelling nothing was impossible to the developing human race, but the disparity and inequality between humans was ever-widening with the strong rich, getting richer and stronger and the weak poor, getting weaker and poorer.

He blitzed at fast speeds for hours on end and would only stop to take breaks to cook and eat a few fish that he had saved within the inventory.

"I wonder how long it will be until I reach the capital" he mumbled to himself.

As he said that he could see the shiny golden illuminated capital in the distance.

[The Central earth!] blurted Lex, who had only witnessed it in poor quality videos on his laptop, and after breaking down and getting off the hoverboard he compelled his way into the enrolment department to enrol for the academy reservation with the name Lex Luther.
