...Finn stopped laughing and looked at Roman.
As soon as Roman saw him look at him, he frowned as Finn walked towards him and stopped just some metres away from him, "I'm sure you didn't expect this to happen, right?"
"Because you're Lord Hero, to me, you're still the trash I know, Finn" Roman retorted.
"Insolence!!" Ravius and the handsome man roared, the knights drew their blades and speared as they surrounded Roman who seem unperturbed.
"I know, I'm an extra, I shouldn't have been summoned, but I was... You know why, they needed someone to keep you in check, dear Lord Hero!" Roman said as he stared at Finn with a smirk.
Finn suddenly laughed, "you don't have any energy talent, Romie, I'll kill you and dispose of you... Would you keep me in check as a ghost?"
Finn waved his hand and the knights immediately disappeared and appeared in their previous position. Finn then flicked Roman, there was a sonic boom, followed by a crash.
When the dust cleared, Finn was just putting down his hand as he had a wide grin on his face, "he prolly wouldn't survive that, would he?"
"Finn!!!!... How could you?!" Hailey exclaimed as she stared with shock at what at just transpired, Finn had just flicked Roman crashing out of the castle, no one knows if he was alive or dead.
"What?... I'm the Lord Hero, I can do whatever I want, and killing small fries is one of them" Finn grinned. ".. got a problem with that, hun?"
Hailey clenched her fists as she walked away, Nikolai frowned and walked after Hailey, no one knew when Lena had sat down and was continuing reading her book.
"Don't mind how, Hailey reacted, Finn... I truly believe what you did was the right thing, you looked extremely cool" Dianne approached Finn and said with lovestruck eyes.
"Really?" Finn smirked as he used his forefinger to raise Dianne's chin to which the later just nodded in a daze.
Seeing this, Finn's smirk deepened.
Meanwhile, beyond Luton Kingdom, was the wild ruins, one of the forbidden lands in Agrippa continent.
Something or rather someone crashed into an area in the ruin raising a lot of dust. As the dust settled, a body could be seen lying on a rubble. With the familiar brown hair, you would notice it was Roman.
Roman was in a very bad shape, his face was covered in blood as he coughed out more blood, his bones were dislocated.
His vision was blurry as all he could see was red. Roman knew he was dying but he was bof dismayed, he only felt he was unlucky.
If I ever survive this, Finn, Lord Hero or whatever you become, I'll kill you!!
Heh!... I'm dying, who am I kidding?
[Ding!]
[Do you accept the system?]
System?!... Am I finally reaping my rewards, but I'm about to die... Whatever, Yes.

[Assimiliating System]
[Welcome to the Otherworld System, to fully unlock system features, host has to be in a life or death state]
Seeing the last notification before his eyes, Roman chuckled dryly, my system is also after my life!
[Requirement fulfilled]
[Allocating first time reward]
[Host in critical condition, performing healing]
A green light suddenly shined out of Roman's body as his bones recovered to their previous state, his injuries healed in the blink of an eye, but the blood still remained on his face.
Getting back the feeling of his body, he sat up and looked down at his hands.
"I'm alive", it suddenly dawned on him that he just escaped the jaws of death. Remembering what had happened to him a few moments ago, his eyes turned cold.
"In this world, power is supreme"

Roman read through the notifications, and he nodded his head. They were all good stuffs. He immediately checked his inventory, and the first thing he took was the talent awakening stone. After what happened at Agrippa kingdom, Roman knew talent was the key to power and the higher the talent, the greater the power.
As he held the stone, he studied it, the stone just looked like a red rock with runes engraved on it, but this runes pulsated with ominous black light like an heartbeat. Roman suddenly got nervous as he stared at the rock.
[Do you wish to awaken your talent?]
Roman looked at the notification for a while before he steeled himself and thought a yes. The stone in his hand immediately crumbled, something like a lock seem to have been unlocked inside Roman followed by an explosion as the are around him stilled, the sky above him churned as black clouds gathered, but there was something ominous about the clouds, they had a hint of red. Suddenly, a massive black and red energy beam hit Roman.
This phenomenon alerted many people with strong powerful auras.
Ravius who was walking towards his chambers in the castle suddenly disappeared and appeared above this castle, his gaze staring at the wild ruins or to be precise the energy beam that seem to connect the sky and the earth.
He was not the only one, three other people appeared beside him, one was a child, the other was a young woman and the last person was a feminine man.
"Is a treasure about to surface from the ruin?" a baritone voice came out from the child's mouth.
"Maybe maybe not, we will know if we venture there" the feminine man said.
"Venture there and you'll know what dying feels like" the woman said.
"I say, Nimbus, your death seeking hasn't toned down all these years?" The child said.
Nimbus, the feminine just covered his lips and smiled sheepishly.
Meanwhile, in several other kingdoms, there were discussions amongst the powerful people concerning the phenomenon that happened, but one thing was for sure, despite the curiosity, no kingdom's powerhouse opted to venture into the ruin and find out what happened.
Back to Roman, after a full hour, the energy beam receded and the clouds regained their usual white. Roman sat where he was but he looked different. His eyes were closed.
As he sat there, his brown hair suddenly became inky black with patches of white, his physique became a bit more profound, he was on the slim side before, now he had muscles, his physique was more or less perfect. When Roman opened his eyes, they were no longer the usual color but a dark red.
Roman didn't look like he was anymore, if Finn saw him now, he would not recognize him as Roman looked like a totally different person.
"System, pull up my status"
[Ding!]
