Chapter 3 - A place named Paradix

Her hands got covered with an emerald glow and branches grew from her back like additional limbs. It grew so long that it reached the ground and acted as her legs while her feet left the ground.

The glow increased, covering her entire body like she was born out of an enchanting emerald stone.

A branch grew so long out of her palm and was covered in bright glow as she channelled her energy to it until it took the shape of a sharp spear.

Reggie wasn't fazed even though he knew that he was about to face a powerful woman. He had trained so much and was sure he could face a supreme.

He brought out his other dagger and charged towards her, aiming for her side but she moved away like the flash of a lightening and was standing behind him with her spear pointed towards his neck.

Reggie swiftly turned and shoved the spear away but that only ended up cutting his wrist. He had underestimated her weapon. It was made from branch but the energy in it was enough to be felt, making it so sharp, sharper than a sword made out of diamond.

The woman punched his face hard and he went flying across the room until his back landed on the wall. 

"You should be careful who you challenge. You can't beat everyone, you know. Give up already, you are weak!"

He rolled his fist into a ball and tried standing up again while he declared, "I am not weak. I might be talentless but I am not weak." Before he could stand completely, branches grew out from the wall and formed a cage around him, caging him from going any further.

She smirked and dropped down with the branches behind her back going back in and her changing back to normal.

"Accept it, you are weak and talentless."

"I will win you. I will fight you and end your life."

She laughed out and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Alright then, I will train you to do that but first, you are submitting under me and we will achieve our goal together."

He laughed out loud too and nodded his head, "Alright then. I will join you but first, who are you?"

"I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I am Dr Katherine but you can call me Twilight."

He lifted a brow, "A doctor? You've got a healing energy but you just used a destructive ener....." he knitted his brows together as realization hit him. "You trained your healing energy into becoming a destructive energy?"

A healer shouldn't be able to destroy as their talents are meant to heal alone. They aren't always sent to the battle field unless to tender to the wounds of the soldiers and so because of that, they are trained to use weapons instead.

"Yes. My energy is both of destruction and healing. My hunger for revenge drove me to become this person. If you join me, I will help you bring out that hidden power in you. It is so powerful and I can smell it."

Reggie was still taken aback by her revelation. Only a god can have more than one energy, even three or four or all of them, but a Sigma?

She is a Sigma and have already turned her energy into destructive too. Who is she? She should be feared cause if she eventually gets to a god level, she would be unstoppable.

"Now, let's tend to your wound." She extended her hand and he placed his wrist on it which immediately got covered by herbal branches, piercing deep into his skin and cutting through while sewing back his wound. He let out a loud cry.

...

Five hundred years ago, a great war happened. A war that changed the earth. A war that got imprinted into everyone's heart.

To many, it was a war that brought blessing while to many, a war that brought curse as everyone suddenly got a talent.

Babies were born with talents and this new generation went on with the normal world being forgotten. It soon became a world where talent was everything.

A world were the powerful rules over the lower citizens in oppression and ruthlessness.

The world still had it continents and countries, it people and lifestyles but, a new country was created. It is known as the headquarter of the world. A place where the governments and rulers of the earth gathers. A place where decisions are made. A place where the last source of life of the earth is.

A place named, PARADIX!

Every humans had a rank and the ranks are divided into ten groups which each representing the level of energy and talent obtained by a person.

There is the J-level, which is the lowest level. They are called the Commoners and had low level of energy and thereby, their talents are almost useless. They are being treated as trash by every other person and being made slaves. Hardly given a job and made to suffer.

Then the I-level, known as the Citizens. They also had low energies but not as the Commoners. They aren't treated so badly but are still looked upon as low people. 

Then the H-level, known as the Medians. They have normal energy rate. They are the common people and live a normal life.

Then the G-level, known as the Omegas. They are Medians who have trained hard until they obtain an high energy. They are able to control their energies well enough and use it properly. 

Then the F-level, known as the Deltas. They have Hugh energies and have master their talents in a way that they could use it for anything and change it form.

The E-level, known as the Betas. They have very high energy within and are respected. They are well needed in high job places.

The D-level, known as the Sigmas. They have very high energies and have gotten to the level where they could control their energies and also use the energies in their surrounding environment. They are given high positions in each countries.

The C-level, known as the Alphas. Higher energy. They are Sigmas who have mastered their energies and the surrounding energies. 

The B-level, known as the Supremes. Higher energies. Can go to the point of controlling other people's energy and use it against them. The highest ranked in the society. Feared and highly respected even in the government. They are proud and powerful. So powerful that they could destroy a while country, just one man.

And then, the highest of all. The A-level, called the gods. People believe they don't exist as no one had attained that much amount of energy. They can have more than one energies and are so powerful that no one could win a battle with them. It is said that whoever reaches the god level always becomes mad and in turn, use their powers for evil.

It is banned for anyone to attain the power of a god as that could pose a threat to the earth. Because of this, everyone accept the supreme level as the highest.

But was there more to what they know? Do a human with a god level truly not exist?
