章 408: Sage [#4]

Sage sighed softly-

"-FUCK!"

Let's take a few steps back?

-Scene Cut-

Sage: I am calm.

Sage: Very calm.

-Scene Cut-

After the tower game, Sage wore his mask and entered his next game as Anonymous, this time he decided to start a livestream. He opened the Battle Net system screen and soon found the Battle Tube option, so he just mentally clicked on it-

[Do you wish to show your name?]

'No.' Sage wanted to create two separate identities, one of the mysterious Anonymous and one of Sage, the talented young support who could use abilities never seen before. He slowly stretched his fingers out as the blank white mask was placed over his face, thanks to the system it was considered as an item because it was made with Ether.

[Blank Mask (Rank A)

A blank mask, used to hide one's face. While worn, your voice will sound distorted and unrecognizable.

Cannot be forcefully taken off.]

"Ah..." He soon teleported to the game before the livestream started, so people would not see where he lived. He used his [Limited Authority] to choose the game mode he was going to play, and he picked [Attack] this time, which was something somewhat interesting! When the light blue light and particles faded away, he was alone in a battlefield.

[The Game Mode: Attack was chosen by ????]

[???? Will attack one of three bases]

[Summoning players...]

Sage stood still while, before him, three screens appeared! On those three screens, several Bronze players started to appear. Many of them looked confused but they soon received this message before their eyes:

[You've been selected to Survive. Choose a (Green, Blue, or Red) base and survive against ???]

[To win, your base has to survive.]

[If you win, you'll receive +2 to all stats.]

[If ??? Wins, he'll receive +10 to all stats.]

[All bases must be destroyed for ??? to win.]

[May the odds be ever in your favor.]

It was sudden international news- Never this game mode had appeared in the Bronze League! Everybody was curious as to why it happened, so of course everyone went and looked for the Anonymous, and soon they found his livestream. Sage thanked all gods that he was wearing a mask, because suddenly having so many viewers stunned him!

His viewers count went through the roof.

[10,000 Viewers]

[Achievement - Gather Viewers 1 - Unlocked]

[+1,000 Achievement Points]

[30,000 Viewers]

[Achievement - Gather Viewers 2 - Unlocked]

[+3,000]

[50,000 Viewers]

[Achievement - Gather Viewers 3 - Unlocked]

[+5,000 Achievement Points]

[100,000 Viewers]

[Achievement - Gather Viewers 4 - Unlocked]

[+10,000 Achievement Points]

[200,000 Viewers]

[Achievement - Gather Viewers 5 - Unlocked]

[+15,000 Achievement Points]

Sage ignored it past this point. He watched the three screens as the Bronze Players were summoned. Soon, another system screen appeared for everyone-

[All three camps have enough players.]

[Starting the game.]

[??? Has chosen...]

Sage thought for a moment and looked at the camps... He selected the Blue one.

[Blue!]

Immediately, he vanished from where he stood and appeared in the Blue battlefield. Immediately, he saw several arrows flying towards him alongside various spells! He calmly lifted his hand, and using Force he casted: "Barrier. Shield." Two spells at the same time, of different classes! With his amazing control over Force, he used [Barrier] (a Support skill) and [Shield] (a Mage skill) at the same time and fused them together- While [Barrier] helped with physical attacks, [Shield] helped with magical ones, so when they both got fused together-

[Spell is enchanted!]

[Perfect Barrier has been cast]

Immediately, in a radius of 30 feet from him, a giant wave of energy flushed out and all spells and arrows simply vanished, being throw away by an amazing force (arrows) or simply having their mana dissipated (spells). Spreading out his arms, Sage gathered the a little bit of cold on his fingertips and channeled his Ether through it, just enough not to damage his soul. Immediately, these black claws appeared on his fingertips as the ice turned black: "Abyss Claws." Calling out the first name he thought of, he slashed his hand towards the largest amount of people gathered together, the Archers and Mages. Immediately this wave of jagged black ice spikes bursted out of the ground in a wave, creating a barrier that separated the field and at the same time decimated 50 players at the same time!

[??? Has annihilated 50 players!]

The message seemed to shock the players because Sage heard a few shouts of shock-

"What!?"

"Oh gods-"

"-how the fuck are we supposed to win!?"

"Run!"

Sage was not really a person to be into hunting for sport, but chasing people just sounded like a huge waste of time and energy, so he decided to simply make so they can't run! He easily lifted himself up with Force, the red energy floated his body above the black ice wall. He looked down at the people running and raised his hand, this time he gathered a flame as he casted [Fire] and pushed some Ether into it, this time he pointed his white flame towards the largest group of people and- "Cleanse." The tiny white flame flew out of his hand like a bullet, hitting the ground faster than the blink of an eye. From above he now could see the endless sea of white flames that spread out into the arena beneath-

Easily 90% of the players were killed. After all, Sage found out that this white flame deals - or rather, every single spell or attack he uses Ether with, will deal True Damage. Damage that cannot be defended against or be resisted... Sage sighed as the white flames consumed the battlefield, he looked like a demon as his blank white mask and black hoodie, not even his hair could be seen, his hands were covered in black gloves and he had no recognizable features, which was something many were trying to find.

The final players that were scattered around were a bother to go after, so he simply casted a spell he was thinking about. Remembering his youth days of playing Pokemon, he knew of the move Shock Wave, the electric move that never misses- So why not do something similar? 'I can see their energy, I can target it.' With their energy in mind, he raised his hand and focused on electricity and the move Shock Wave.

Immediately a electric shockwave pushed out of his fingertips- Five large electric spears appeared in his hand, he pushed a bit of Ether and they all turned black. "Judgement." All five spears vanished, and all viewers saw a [Penta Kill] appear on his screen. Sage floated there for a few moments, uncaring of the world around him, as he looked a the comments:

[Bowser'sCo-: What the fuck!?]

[JigglyJiggle: No wonder it was a "Survival" mission.]

[Hog: Damn, nerf this guy battlenet!]

[EvilGay: What even is his Gift?]

[BitchJuice: Must be spell related!]

[Afghanistan: And at least Rank SS]]

[Jizzler donated 100 GP]

[Jizzler: Show us your tits- i mean, your Gift!]

[HatsuneMiku: Yeah, do it!]

[Jojo: He should do it-]

"No." A simple word echoed out, and the entire chat froze: "I will not show any personal information." Stoic and serious, that was the persona he wanted Anonymous to have, a complete opposite to his Sage persona, one who is sarcastic and quippy. "If you insist, I shall ban you from my livestream."

[GohA: Pffft-]

[Fifoc: Shit, the guy speaks like a robot!]

[Oiug: You can't even ban people here!]

[HugePP: Well, you couldn't even make an anonymous account before this guy showed up, maybe he can?]

[Oiug: Oh shi-]

"Permanently ban Oiug, Jizzler - what type of name even is that? - and anyone who gas asked me to showcase my gift." Sage spoke in his Anonymous voice. Immediately, a system screen popped before his eyes-

[32,076 Viewers have been Permanently Banned. They won't be able to view ???? streams ever again.]

"Good... Now, to the next base-"

-Scene Cut-

Sage: Thank you, Next-

*everyone is dead*

-Scene Cut-

Sun Jihan was curious.

He was forcefully summoned to a game, where he had to survive an unknown enemy. He looked into this Anonymous guy when he had time and what he saw broke every single knowledge he had about the Battle Net and powers... This person never existed back then, he never saw or ever heard of this person! Maybe, just maybe, this person was born out of the butterfly effect of his rebirth?

He had chosen the Red base when he arrived into this game- It's been literally a day since he and his niece Yoon Seah decided to donate the Sword Palace to the government as a last fuck you to the Sword King Yoo Sejin, or rather, Ito Ryuhei. But before that he was forcefully summoned into a game, and now here we are! They were able to watch what was happening on other camps thanks to the floating screens on top of their own base.

What they watched could only be described as a massacre.

It's been a while since Sun Jihan saw such an one-sided massacre before! 'This perso ... They must have some really unique gift-' And that was when he saw the red energy he knew as Force, the Unique Stat he was aiming for and one of the things he wished to obtain... How did this person discovered it? 'Unless...' Sun Jihan is not so narcissistic to believe that only he could've been reborn.

If this person has been reborn, how did they obtain what they possess now? He wanted to know.

It was then that, out of nowhere, the famous Anonymous guy appeared. He looked smaller in person, about the size of a teen actually, and Sun Jihan wanted to talk to him first.

But that was out of the way when a few hundred spells and arrows were attacking him- But, as he defended himself in the first camp, he did the same on the second. The familiar wave of red energy pushed the arrows away and dissipated the spells into nothingness. Then the warriors moved forward, they thought that if everyone attacked together, they could overpower the single guy, right?

No.

He did the same thing, he raised his hand and rows and rows of massive black ice spikes raised from the ground up, killing 54 people in one spell! He aimed for the Supports too, because the wave of ice suddenly did a 90° turn and these spikes curved as they sank into the chests of the Support players that were in the back lines. Jihan sighed as he was pulled into the game without any weapons, but he was a martial artist, so his body was the weapon! He moved forward, channeling Martial Power through his body, he kicked down the ground with such strength that the black ice cracked and he flew high enough to reach the guy-

"Crushing Binds." Jihan suddenly felt a weight on his body-

[You are under the Crushing Binds spell]

[Your body resists the damage]

[Your movement speed is reduced by 50%]

-and immediately he fell. He looked down to see these many purple chains pulling him down, they weighted a lot more than normal too. "Huh, this will be harder than I thought." Jihan stretched out his arms a little and took the stance he had taken many times in his last life.

But before he could do anything, the white flames appeared. 'Ah, shit.' All he could do was dodge! He moved as fast as he could, but his movement speed was reduced- Then he simply jumped over and up the black ice spikes, where the flames didn't touch him.

He jumped from there towards the guy again, who was protecting himself from various arrows from the surviving archers- Now, Jihan didn't mean to kill the guy, he just wanted to break the barrier.

But he overestimated the guy's endurance.

[Game Completed!]

[???? Has been defeated.]

[MVP: Sun Jihan]

Meanwhile, Sage sighed softly: "FUCK!"


章 409: Sage [#5]

Harrion nervously looked down, sweat dripping from his body as he felt the weight of the boss's presence. It's been exactly 5 seconds ever since he entered this room! "B-boss, I believe I have found what you've been looking for!" Doing a military salutation, he looked at his boss: "The Mad Hound Support slot-"

"-who?" A simple word echoed out from the shadows, a pair of brightly glowing red eyes looked at him and Harrion could swear he was going to die: "W-well, he's a kid, a Bronze kid, but I-"

"-not interested."

"Boss, wait please, his buffs literally doubled my strength! And his healing made me glow with Divine Power!"

"-...start from the beginning."

"-Ah, okay... Well, when I materialized in the Defense game of the Zombie Towers, I first saw one of the Silver Sun bastards, then one of those purple rose bud bitches, and then the kid-" Harrion stopped to think how to describe him: "-he was, honestly, quite adorable and innocent looking, but he's a sadistic sunnova bitch! We dismissed him and he simply ignored us, when I first died I thought it was game over and we'd get last place, but surprisingly no, there were no zombie when I respawned. He had placed a barrier between the crystal and us, and we had no other choice than to fight! The mage chick and the archer bitch died again, they were demanding him to heal them, so he looked them in the eye as they were killed- That was badass!"

"-and what happened when you two were the only ones left alive?"

"Well, he casted [Strength] in me and suddenly my Strength DOUBLED, Boss, it was fuckin' awesome- The little dude then healed me easily and fuck that was amazing, I never felt so strong in my life!"

"...What was his name?"

-Scene Cut-

Harrion: And then- And then-

Boss: *Menacing humming*

-Scene Cut-

Sage sighed heavily- Anonymous was defeated by Sun Jihan, whoever the fuck that is. The guy was strong, he must admit, strong and really persistent! Sage pulled out his status and decided to push his 13 points to Ether, putting it to 23. He still had 12 points from his leveling up.

GP: 10,000,000]

"Huh?" His Force stat also increased to 23, surprisingly enough- No, if he thinks about it, his Mana was gone when he got Ether... Which means his Mana that he used to make Force with Divine Power came from his Ether as a source, so if his Ether is the source is only natural for the stat also increase when he updates it. "I really need to find a way to be better... The guy killed me in one punch, I'm fragile as fuck right now." He looked at his physical stats that were a miserable 2 point thing and thought for a moment- He could train his body for the new stats? 'I don't want to waste points them anyway.'

Now, why don't he go out and work out?

"Thinking about it, I've never left my apartment." It's been two days since he's been reborn and he never left his apartment. He put on shorts and a sleeveless shirt, he decided to wear workout clothes and go out, maybe take a run around? 'I also need to increase the ranking of my Gift.'

[Gift: Reader (E)

- Able to read everything.

- Upon touching something, you can read very available information about it.

Conditions for Rank Up:

- Read more than 100 items

- Unlock a Unique Stat.]

He had two Unique Stats, so now he only needed to read more things! 'Well, better start now, right?' He went out his apartment and looked everywhere, and everywhere he looked he used his gift [Reader] to analyze it.

[Asphalt: Asphalt is a semi-solid form of petroleum. It has a few basic ingredients, including a mixture of crushed stone, gravel, sand, and a material called bitumen. Bitumen is a sticky, black byproduct of petroleum that holds the aggregate together.]

'Huh, that's a lot more information than before.' And he read it all instantly, there wasn't the need to ever look at it, it was like the information got downloaded into his brain! 'Well, better get running!' His stats were shit, and as he ran, he tried to keep a steady rythm but his body was hurting apl around! He powered through it with pure spite, but spite could only get you running for so long. He soon had to sit down on a bench, his body completely covered in sweat and hurting like hell!

[+ 1 Vitality]

[+1 Agility]

[+1 Strength]

"-at least I got them-" Panting, Sage tried to get up again, but his legs refused to work... So he just laid there on the bench. He considered everything - his new life, his new powers, his unique authority over the system, and everything that it entails - for a moment and blinked. He casted [Heal] on himself, he didn't even have to push Ether through it as the spell naturally had small traces of Ether on it, whih was enough to empower and increase the efficiency of the spell, healing his painful muscles.

"...you don't seem to be all that much." A voice spoke suddenly. Sage opened his eyes to look up at this handsome man's face. He was tall, really tall! Or maybe Sage is small? Anyway, he was like a marble statue of rippling muscle. His body looked like the Greek gods themselves gave life to his form... He had this whole aura around him, this faint energy trickled from his body in waves that made everything around him heavier. "..." They kept eye contact for a few moments, everything was normal for Sage because this energy simply didn't do anything to him, it naturally hit a barrier of energy that stood around Sage's body and dissipated into nothingness. "...you are different."

"And you're hot." Sage rolled his eyes for a moment and with great difficulty, he moved his body from a lying position to a sitting position: "And rude too... Who even are you?" With dark brown eyes that looked like oak wood, thick thighs and legs that barely were hidden beneath his pants, large feet and hands- Is this man a human or a giant? "My name is Madon Hounis, I am Mad Hound's leader."

"Oh, you're the leader of those punk anti guild people!" Sage offered the guy his hand: "Nice to meet ya-" To further establish a great difference between himself and Anonymous, Sage decided to develop a whole other persona for himself. While Anonymous would be stoic and not really friendly, Sage would be laid back and very friendly, but also mischievous and a little bit sadistic. "You guys do a good job takin' care of the ones rejected by guilds." Guilds were the fucking worst, not only they ate up resources and fought amongst themselves for even more resources (access to dungeons, items, and money are good examples) they also bullied the weak and rejected them.

Which is why, as a widely known fact, the Mad Hound unofficial guild was composed of mainly Support Gift users. There were many, from the [Exploration] Gift, the [Nurturing] Gift, and even rarer gifts that helped identify items, potential of people, and other things. A few people had lesser combat gifts, like the [Weapon Proficiency] gift that was more common than you think, the majority of people get one of these and it is between F and D rank.

The only exception was the leader- Not many people know what his Gift actually is, but they know it is an SSS-Rank Gift and a combat related one at that. The only reason the guild wasn't completely eliminated was because of the Mad Hound himself, Madon Hounis! Many people know he only fights with his hands that grow into claws whenever he wants! He also has a crazy regeneration ability, near immortality at least, because many powerful Diamond Rank players fought him and lost because he out lasted them.

"...Harrion told me something, and I want to see it by myself." He made eye contact and Sage didn't break it. He did feel intimidated when the guy's pulil seemed to glow a bright red color for a split second: "It seems you have a great mental strength to not be affected by my skills and gift." He openly grinned widely, showing his slightly sharp teeth, which was a little uncanny: "Cast a buff on me, Support Boy."

"I think not-" Immediately, Sage casted [Paralyze] on the guy, grinned when he was shocked (pun intended) for a second and broke free easily: "-now I'll heal you." Sage didn't even look at the guy, he casted [Heal] on Madon. There was a soft golden glow on his body as his eyes widened just enough to show a silent surprise.

"So, you affiliated with any Guilds?"

"Nah."

"Good. You're a Mad Hound now."

-Scene Cut-

Hadon: *stares menacingly*

-Scene Cut-

Sage looked at the other members of the Mad Hound "guild", and he must say, there's a lot of people with a lot of support gifts! Many are considered trash, but Sage couldn't contain his own curiosity... He started using [Reader] on everyone and their items, which easily passed his Gift from E to D.

[Gift: Reader (D)

- Able to read everything.

- Upon touching something, you can read very available information about it.

- You can now easily read status windows. If the target is weaker than you, you can see everything about them and what they can become.

Conditions for Rank Up:

- Read more than 1000 items

- Unlock a Unique Class.]

With this new part of his Gift, he was able to successfully see what everyone could become- The majority of members were all really welcoming, they all seemed very comfortable to each other and Sage saw no gift above B rank around, except for Hadon, and he must say- Damn!

[Apex Predator (SSS)]

You are the embodiment of an apex predator. Your whole body can be used to fight! You get access to the skills

- [Destroy, Rip, Tear]

He got 11 skills with his Gift! What the fuck is even this!? And besides that, Sage also saw the guy's stats and realized he had a huge way to go.

Title: Terror of the Battlefield

GP: ???,???,???]

The guy was fucking strong! He has two unique stats - Hunt and Bloodlust - and even a unique class! And a title too, something Sage hasn't checked yet. He has a lot of skills and his physical strength is something Sage cannot hope to match, but at least he knows he can easily overpower the guy with magic- or so he hopes.

But what he focused monstly on was this young kid- He used his [Reader] on her and looked at her gift, and he was surprised by two things:

[Forge (F)

- You can forge weapons.

(Upgrade Conditions)

- Have made 1000 weapons (1000/1000)

- Be Level 10 (Lvl 9/10)

- Have 10 Vitality points (8/10)

- Use 5 Akashic Pages at the same time.

Gift Forge (F) will become (SSS).]

"..." Okay, how does he make this happen?
