It was the next morning, and I got ready to leave for Elcheon academy, there was a solemn feeling in the air. I ate breakfast with my family, probably for the last time in a few years; the usual's Pancakes and eggs. While eating a knocking sound came from the door.
*knock*knock*knock*
My dad opened the door and a fairly tall man in military based uniform stood there with a clipboard in his hands and said "Am here to pick up Grey Heart".
I stood up from the couch and moved towards my dad with teary eyes before hugging him, my sister ran out from her room boosting her speed with her ability before slamming into us.
My dad stood up and said "Men don't cry, I want you to promise me that you will get stronger than everyone in your school you hear me!!!" , "YES" I yelled back. "Umm sir I don't have all day" the military man said. I stood up carried my luggage and walked towards the military man, once I was in his range, he grabbed my shoulder and a bright light surrounded us and
*BLINK*
When I opened my eyes, we were in a massive Train station with other children like me walking into the train, while being was amazed by the train station someone bumped into me.
It was a kid a lit bit taller than me with red hair, he looked at me with disdain before saying "How dare you bump into me you stupid commoner don't you know you're in the presence of a noble", I looked at the noble with calm eyes before replying "Umm you clearly bumped into me, and I don't care if you're a noble, I bet their still people stronger than you".
Everyone burst into laughter, before a loud voice with a bit of killing intent yelled "HOW DARE YOU HUMILIATE ME YOU DAMNED COMMONER, YOU HAVE CLEARLY CHOSEN DEATH!!" Crimson red flames suddenly engulfed the noble before he said [FLAME GOD BLESSING STAGE 1: Inferno Scythe]! The crimson flames transformed into a scythe, and a soon as that happened the noble dashed towards me when I got into his range he swung the scythe downwards with insane speeds before I said" [Absorb]"
*WHOOSHH*
When the scythe came in contact with my arm it disappeared, before the noble stumbled and fell into the ground, creating another wave of laughter while that was happening I got a notification
*NEW ABILITY ACQUIRED [HELL FLAMES]*
COPIED ABILITIES
[Flame Emperor Blessing 1: Inferno SCYTHE/BLADE/DAGGER]
Some men rushed towards the noble and picked him up before they looked at me with anger and disdain and said" You'll regret this". After all that happened I walked into the train with joy before I choose my seat at the back of the train, from what I observed this train was a maglev train, it had magnetic tracks for speed, 5 inch thick metal plating and turrets. While waiting a voice resounded throughout the entire train" THE TRAIN IS DEPARTING PLEASE DON'T GET UP FROM YOUR SEATS WITHOUT PERMISSION, THANK YOU" Every person that was standing scurried to their seats and luckily for them as soon as they sat down the train blasted forward with insane speed, this didn't affect me too much, as I just closed my eyes and dozed off. I slept for about 2 hours before
*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*
I woke up to the sound of explosions and cries, I looked around to try and understand what was going on and what I saw surprised me an undead Necromancer was attacking our train, it was sitting on top of an undead phoenix and was breathing in its flames, up to a thousand undead soldiers were attacking our train at all angles the military guys were trying their best to defend the train but to no avail the soldiers got created again the instant they were destroyed. after a few minutes the Necromancer jumped off the phoenix and its soldiers gave way for him to walk towards the train, it deflected every attacking that was coming at it and it was finally in front of the train and it lifted up its finger and when it came in contact with the train * BOOM * it was sent flying, the last thought I had was "Why do I have to die so soon"
*******************************? HOURS/DAYS/WEEKS LATER***************************
[GREY'S POV]
I woke up to the see I was in a cave, filled with the scent of dried blood and half-eaten beast and humans.
After a few seconds I noticed that I was tied up and hanged upside down in a soft but durable material, after thorough inspection I noticed that it was a spider web. A few minutes later a massive spider walked through the entrance of the cave with a wolf in its mouth and laid it down and began to wrap it up in its webs.
While it was doing that i whispered quietly and said "System Analysis"
SPECIES: Silver web spider
Rank: [C+]
Possible Abilities: {Sonic shriek, Web shot, Poison mist}
After seeing this I quickly began to plan on how to escape, I only had one plan I could think of and that was to use the latest ability to my arsenal.
[Flame Emperor Blessing: Inferno SCYTHE/SWORD/DAGGER]
I choose to use the dagger for better mobility to launch a surprise attack; I gently cut through the webs as the spider had just finished wrapping up the wolf in its webs.
The spider laid the wolf down after it had covered it in its webs and was heading towards the cave entrance, and then cut all the webs completely and landed on the floor silently and slowly approached towards the spider to deliver a sneak attack. The spider must have guessed something was wrong based on instincts and just as I was about to hit the spider it swiftly turned around and let out a loud shriek which blasted me a few feet backwards.
I changed the Inferno dagger into a sword and prepared for battle. The spider and I dashed towards each other me having a slight speed advantage
The spider and I clashed mid-Air and we seemed to be evenly matched but the fight had only just begun; I dashed towards the spider as it tried to cut me up with its razor sharp legs I slashed at its body rapidly but my attacks kept in being blocked or parried by the spiders other legs.
Then the spider released another sonic shriek which stunned me for a couple seconds giving it time to shot a web at me which knocked the air right out of my lungs and launching me backwards into the cave's wall.
At this point my stamina was really low due to the barrage of attacks that I just received but at the same time I felt excited and adrenaline pumped through my veins as I got up and dashed towards the spider. Then I got a System notification.

I appeared in front of the spider slashing towards one of its legs and…
*THUD*
One of the legs of the spider came right off as with every slash a loud thud and a spray of blood will be heard and seen.
When all the legs of the spider had been cut of I stared right into its eyes and severed its head from its body.
Another System notification sounded
