The last day of Max's life

The doctor's words echoed in Max's mind:

"I'm sorry to tell you that you only have 24 hours. There is a cure, but it's very expensive. You will have to get a blood transfusion every month, which costs 5000 rupees per month. But you know that we had to come to this planet because the conditions on Earth were bad, and the equipment here is limited."

Max was stunned. His heart was beating fast. He knew that he didn't have that much money. He could barely even make ends meet. He kept thinking, "Can I change anything in these 24 hours?"

The next morning, Max was walking through the corridors of the school, remembering this incident. Today was the last day of school. All the students were busy having fun—some were writing names on each other's dresses, while others were playing the game of tearing clothes. But for Max, this was not a normal day. He was counting every moment.

While walking, he suddenly bumps into three boys. One of them, Vishal, kicks Max hard in the stomach in anger.

Vishal: "How dare you bump into us?"

Max was moaning in pain. He was about to say something when suddenly Vishal's hands became strangely long. He picked up Max and threw him away. Max fell on the ground. His breathing was becoming fast.

Anil: "Today we will have to teach him a lesson."

Kumar: "Let's see how much this boy can bear."

Max felt a strange change inside him. His palms were getting hot. Suddenly, a blue light came out of his palms, which went straight towards Vishal. Vishal moved away and hit the wall.

Towards old memories and unsolved mysteries

After this incident at school, Max returned to his home. The house was small and simple—a bed, a cupboard and an old trunk kept in a corner. He went inside moaning in pain and headed straight towards the trunk.

The trunk was covered in dust. Max had opened it many times, but every time he opened it, he would remember his parents. He slowly lifted the lid. Inside were some photos and old clothes. But in between all of this was a strange device that looked like a tape recorder or a power bank.

This device was given to him by his father. He kept trying to turn it on, but it never worked. Today he tried to turn it on again. He pressed the button, cleared the screen, and looked at it expectantly.

A faint light flickered on the screen. Max's heart began to beat faster.

"Is it turning on?" he said to himself.

But the light disappeared immediately. Max put it back in the trunk in despair. He knew that this device was not just an ordinary thing. His father always said it was special.

Lying on the bed, Max's mind was flooded with questions.

"Do I really only have 24 hours? Does this device have anything to do with my blood, my powers, and my life?"

He looked out the window. The sun was setting. Darkness was beginning to engulf his life as well as his room.

Max decided that no matter what, he would find the answers to all his questions in the next 24 hours. This device, his blood, and his new powers—there is some secret to all of them, and he must know it.

Sign of a new beginning

After a while, Max's eyes opened. He was still lying on the ground. The rope was off his neck, and he felt a strange energy in his body.

Just then, a resonating voice echoed in the room:

"System installation complete."

Max held his head. His head was throbbing with pain. He couldn't understand what was happening. He tried to ignore the voice and try to compose himself.

The Secret of Max's Life

Max opened his eyes and saw that the clock was ticking, but he only had 5 hours left. His heart started beating fast as he looked at the clock. He was nervous, but now he felt something different. This time, it was strange, like something big was about to happen. Then suddenly he heard a voice:

"System voice (robotic):

"You are being given the first challenge:

End someone's life."

Max shuddered on hearing this. He could not understand whose voice it was and he could not kill someone, that too just on the command of a voice. A series of questions started coming to his mind. He had heard this voice earlier also, but he was not able to remember exactly what it had said.

He was lost in thoughts about what to do now. Then his eyes fell on a black snake, which was standing near the gate and staring at him. This snake was a crystal snake, as he had studied in school. This snake had silver stripes on its body, and if it climbed on someone at any time, it could suck all his blood.

Max, thinking this, quickly tried to climb on the bed. The snake started crawling towards the bed. There were ghungroo sounds coming from its body, which were being caused by the silver stripes of that snake. Like As soon as he reached the bed, Max was in a panic. He felt that time was running out and he could not find a way out.

As the snake coiled itself around his body, Max suddenly had a knife in his hand. Without thinking, he cut the snake in the middle. As the snake split into two parts, another announcement was heard from the system:

"System voice (robotic):

"Congratulations, your first challenge is complete. Prizes are being given."

The system said again:

"You now have 24 more hours of life extended. Your life is now a total of 28 hours."ee."

Max couldn't believe it. Was this true? Was he really alive? He thought, "Is this a dream, or am I really doing something special?"

He stayed up all night struggling with this question. He waited for the morning to come. As he neared the end of his 24 hours, he decided to go to the doctor. He went to the doctor, and the doctor, looking at his reports, said, "You must have done some good work, that you are alive. I have seen your report, and you still have only 24 hours left."

Max could not understand what was happening. The doctor was also surprised. Was Max's life really in someone else's hands?

After listening to the doctor, Max made a tough decision in his mind. Now he felt that if he wanted to prolong his life, he would have to increase his power by killing the Crystal Snake. He knew that he had only a few hours left, and if he wanted to extend his life, he would have to kill the Crystal Snake as the next step.

Max, immersed in deep thought, decided that he would move towards the next goal—to kill the Crystal Snake. Knowing that he now had only a few hours left, he decided to take this extraordinary step.

Turning to history...

50 years ago, NASA scientists detected a large comet with their mechanical equipment, which was about to collide with the Earth. This incident created panic all over the world. Scientists explained that this comet was heading towards the Earth, and if it hit, it could cause massive destruction on Earth.

Due to this dangerous situation, the rich and powerful families of the whole world decided to leave their planet. Large spaceships were prepared, carrying millions of people, and they all boarded the spaceships leaving the Earth to save their lives.

After some time, these spaceships found a new planet, called "Kelaadi Planet". There was water on this planet, and it was suitable for humans to live. However, this new planet was full of many mysteries and dangers. But the people who went to this planet got a new beginning.

Towards the story

Max killed 5 crystal snakes, but he did not get an extra 24 hours of life like before. Instead, he only got 10 hours, which surprised him. He could not understand why this happened. He thought that maybe he had to do something else, so that he could use the power of the system properly.

Then suddenly a new notification came from the system:

System voice robotic:

Rank: Novice

Level: 01

HP: 5/5

Strength: 1/10

Speed: 1

Stamina: 1/10

Experience Points: 9/10

Skill: 0

Power: 0

Max looked at these figures and said to himself, "28 + 10 = 38 hours. Out of these, 8 hours have passed, which means I have only 30 hours left. Is this all the life I have? I have to do something quickly..."

While thinking this, Max's eyes fell on the 1000 feet high wall of the city. No human dares to go beyond that wall. It is said that if these walls were not around the city, then humanity would never have survived on this planet. Only OC (Outcast) Soldiers, or high-ranking power users with a lot of powers, were allowed to go outside this wall.

Max was looking at the wall when he heard a strange voice. This voice was like a public announcement:

"Listen, listen! Outcast Academy (OCA) is organizing a beast hunting competition. The winner will get admission in Outcast Academy. Only students who have passed 12th class can participate in this competition. The registration time for the competition is 5 pm today!"

Two people were roaming around the city, advertising this announcement. There was a crowd gathered around them, and people seemed excited to participate in this competition.

Max's heart started beating fast. Now he felt that this competition could be his chance—to extend the time limit of his life. Will he be able to participate in this competition? And will he get a chance to increase his power and rank through this?
