Chereads / Apocalypse: Origin of Time / Chapter 3 - Rank one

Chapter 3 - Rank one

Time quickly flew by, Felix did the same thing as always, familiarising himself with the two energies that he could now maintain for about an hour and doing his daily routine. Because of the energies circling through his body, his fat was quickly burned with the help of the training.

Though you couldn't see a perfectly honed body with muscles, at least some muscles are visible.

Sometimes he also went to the student dorms where his Kate is residing in to spar with her. Though he did attract a lot of attention not because he was handsome but he was close to the so called 'school goddess' and that is his sister Kate.

A lot of male students even rushed to him trying to beat his ass but got beaten instead by him. Felix was surprised why you would even beat someone whom you aren't related to just because he is close to someone you admire.

Well, maybe because he lived too long in the apocalypse era he forgot why people do this.

But besides all this stuff Felix also had some free time for himself, not much but it's still some free time he spend on sleeping. When the apocalypse will happen, he will never get to sleep on clean and fluffy bed anymore after some time.

Also he teached her sister three essential techniques he learned throughout the apocalypse. The one he currently is using that strengthnen ones body to able to defeat rank 2 creatures, Golden Glow.

Deadly Butterfly's Wings, a technique that are mostly used by females to keep their pretty appearance. It also will increase the mental fortitude by a bit. Though Felix was kinda hesistant to learn this to her sister because a lot of people will then try to target them but Felix then eventually thought that even if Kate will gain some muscles, it won't dispell her beautiful face and body so he just let her learn it.

As for why he knew this is because it was a common technique throughout the apocalypse, made by a woman called the charming devil witch. She didn't want to become ugly thus after years of research and experiments she created this technique that she made global.

The technique itself was pretty useless thus why she was sharing it. Although it also increases the mental fortitude, it wasn't by much.

the third technique he taught Kate was Blazing Elemental Core Body, it was something he never learned because it didn't suit his fighting style as it makes you fast, durable and highly resistant to fire related attacks but it decreases your power and water resistance.

As for why he taught this to Kate is because he knew that his sister later will awaken a fire related ability so with this technique it will become many times more powerful and his sister uses more speed than power.

Of course Kate didn't believe him at first but because his constant nagging Kate finally relented to his request and when she could feel the unknown energy in her body her first question to him was

''Brother! Are you a cultivator!?''

His answer to that was just a simple 'no'. There doesn't any cultivators even in the apocalypse. There are three main supernatural powers.

Transformation, Elemental and Special that are respectively called; demi-human, elemtalists and specialists.

The transformation power let's you turn into a half beast or an otherworldly creature that increases your overall capabilities depending on what you are turning into. Most of the high ranked demi-humans can transform into a full version of their transformation but there are also demi-humans that has legendary creatures as their transformations. But few of them are capable of transforming into a full version because of the insane resources amount and talent needed.

Then you have the elemental power that literally says what it is. There are 5 main elements, wood, water, fire, metal and air.

If you could only control one element then you are classified as a normal elemtalist but if you control two elements then you are called a dual elementalist and so on, but controlling more elements doesn't make you more powerful but more useful.

It also depends what element you want to focus on to train because if you cultivate multiple elements then your power will be lacking behind on those who only control one element.

Then you have the special catogory where Kate belongs to. The specialists possess random powers ranging from very strong to very weak or useful.

You can only have a power that only shoots a fire arrow or have the ability to absorb blood as nutritions and it could make you stronger.

In the special catogory you have endless possibilities. Though his skill doesn't belong to the special catogory more on the elemental.

But his ability is standing at the peak of all the powers in that catogory. To manipulate time, very dangerous and powerful. What even more powerful is that it is converted into an energy instead a power that you use instinctively.

So the energy of time could make his body stronger and react faster. Though not every energy source does the same.

At the moment it is 2 month off before the apocalypse will begin. What most people will do is preparing weapons, food and water but that is useless as the current food will rot in 1 day. Only the food available in the apocalypse preserves like normal vegetables and meat.

And water will be undrinkable if it's in a bottle or any other form of object but natural sources of water are still drinkable.

At the next day Felix of circling his energies he brokethrough to initial stage rank one. The feeling of getting stronger isn't what made Felix happy but the fact that he brokethrough.

Even before the apocalypse he already brokethrough the first stage, having a headstart compared to the others except the martial artists that trained since young or the 'physcics' that are basically specialists or elementalists that discovered their powers very early.

When Felix was done with his daily routine he took a shower and ate some things. He then plopped on his fluffy bed again as he quickly fell asleep. Although Felix looked as if he was deeply asleep but he wasn't.

He just was in a semi-conscious state where even the slightest noise could wake him up or the slightest killing intent. What else would you expect from someone who was in constant danger?
