' Wake up you son of a...! It's five already ', Rodiku woke up immediately a loud voice shouted in his head.
' Come on, you almost gave me a heart attack ', Rodiku complained, feeling his heart beating as though he had a sugar rush.
' Not my problem. It was your idea after all ', Phil couldn't care any less since Rodiku himself asked for a wake up call.
Though, he never asked for heart attack worth of shout.
' Tch! Bitch!.. ', Rodiku couldn't argue anymore since he asked for it himself.
' Anyway, thanks. Just stop being a dick ', though Rodiku felt annoyed at Phil's action, he still appreciated the help.
He would have probably overslept as he had the best sleep of his life last night.
He suddenly remembered why he asked Phil to wake him up 5:00 am.
He wanted to try out some of his new abilities before preparing for school.
' Now let's inspect everything, shall we ', he muttered whiles sitting properly on his bed.
' System interface ', Rodiku mentioned inwardly.
A holographic screen appeared in front of him.

' Open host attributes ', he called out in his mind with his eyes squinted as he focused on the screen before him.

' Holy shit! What the..! No wonder I feel like a different person. This much has changed. Wow! You really did it Phil, you changed my fate. Wow! ', Rodiku was just overwhelmed with joy, seeing his new stats.
He didn't feel like his old weak self anymore and he had the system to thank for it.
' You said I was useless if I couldn't change you from being your weak pathetic self right? Well now you're strong. You would get stronger and stronger, so I don't expect to hear those words from you ever again ', Phil stated, after which he went back to being quiet.
' Wow, those words really meant a lot to you. I'm sorry Phil ', Rodiku realized how personal Phil took his words.
He was now thinking of being careful not to say things like that to him again.
' What are you waiting for? Assign your stat points ', Phil spoke again.
' Naaa, I'll do that later. I wanna check everything out first ', Rodiku said, still feeling so excited.
' Open skills and abilities ', he uttered inwardly.
Rodiku had really grown fond of speaking in his mind as he wasn't the type to speak out a lot.
He spoke to Jin and Lenox more than he ever did with anyone in his entire life.
A different screen appeared in his line of sight as soon as he requested.

' Sigh '
' I've made up my mind. I'm going to be the strongest human on Earth ', Rodiku decided, holding a fist in front of him with his eyes filled with determination.
' What a loser. I thought you'd aim higher, like strongest in the universe ', Phil said with a tone of disappointment.
' What!? Are you crazy? That would mean surpassing the immortal rank. Who do you think you are?', Rodiku felt like Phil was being ridiculous.
' I was created by a god who has just one being above him. Immortal rank is nothing in his eyes. Just follow my directions and you would become the most powerful being in the multiverse itself ', Phil said with a serious tone.
' There you go again. Whatever mehn ', Rodiku felt like Phil was spilling bullshit.
' Anyway, open quest ', he requested.

' Oh come on! All that for just ten stats points?', Rodiku was disappointed, seeing the reward for all that work.
' Shut up you ungrateful lad ', Phil infuriated.
' I told you not to expect things to come so easy, especially now that you're in level 3. Why don't you check the random quests ', Phil said seemingly annoyed.
Knowing Phil not to be the serious type, Rodiku knew he wasn't doing something right.
' Open random quests ', he thought.

'???', Rodiku had a look of terror on his face as he scanned through the information over and over.
After going five times over, he closed his eyes without saying a word.
When Phil saw that he wasn't saying anything nor thinking anything, he decided to explain things to him.
' Look I know how you feel. But you need to understand that as of now, you're no longer apart of this world. You have a mission that is bigger than the whole universe. You can't be concerned about a few people losing their lives at your hand. The only way to get Exp now is by killing humans, alien races and magical beasts. You'll receive your class after reaching level 5, then you'll understand that you are an outworldly. Trust me, sooner or later you're going to kill hundreds, if not thousands. You...', Phil was still explaining things when he saw a wide grin suddenly appear on Rodiku's face.
What followed was an insane burst of laughter.
' HAHAHAHA! AAHAHAHAHA! YEAAHAHAHA! FUCK YES! AAHAHAHAHA! '
' ??? ', Rodiku's sudden burst of laughter was not something Phil was expecting, so it took him by surprise.
He had to wait for the long psychopathic laughter to end before he can rid himself of the confusion he's facing.
After what seemed like forever, the laughter came to an end.
' Phil? This world doesn't give a crap who dies unless they are cherished. Why would I care about some dicks losing their lives. I don't care how many people die. Like you said, I am no longer of this world. I will climb the ladder of power and reign at the top. Who ever gets in my way shall fall, even if it is a billion lives. I gave up on this world years back. I only care about myself now. If you say it is possible to reach and surpass the immortal rank, then that's what I'm going to do. I'll grow powerful to the extent that, laws would have no meaning to me. So stop worrying and help me rise to the top Phil. Help me ', Rodiku muttered with his voice filled with so much intent.
After what Rodiku said, Phil was left speechless.
' Ahem... I-I didn't expect you to follow this easily. With your current state of mind, I can grant to a sudden jump to level 7 but I already told you I won't do that again. But, with your state of mind, completing random quests shouldn't be a problem. Which means you'll level up quite faster than I expected. So stop wasting your time sitting around and do something useful. And don't even ask, helping you rise to the top is my sole purpose of existence ', Phil stated, prompting Rodiku to check his time.
' Shit! Did the time fly? It's 5:57 already ', Rodiku cursed, seeing the time.
He wanted to go to the forest to test a few things out before daybreak but he would have to do that later as it was almost daybreak.
Though, he could test some things out in his room as it was very spacious.
All the buildings in CSA were constructed with eternity materials.
Eternity materials were materials that were produced in such a way that it repairs any damage it sustains.
They are powered by eternity crystals which comes in different power levels.
If an attack is sent to a building constructed with eternity materials, the damage delt will be repaired, unless the power of the attack exceeds the power of the eternity crystals powering the structure.
And a school like CSA would require at least an alpha ranked to permanently destroy any facility.
That means Rodiku could test out his abilities in the room without caring about a thing but he decided against it.
He chose to do it outdoor, in secret.
Rodiku decided to get ready for class as he was left with about an hour.
But before that, he decided to check the store and bank.
' Don't bother about the store. You can't afford anything. It'll only make you late, so check it later. And there's nothing in the bank for you ', Phil disclosed.
' Huh? Well, whatever ', he shrugged it off and quickly entered the washroom.
Thirty-five minutes later, Rodiku appeared within the teleportation circle closest to the classroom block.
He arrived with others who entered a teleportation circle the same time as him.
It was a normal thing to appear in a teleportation circle the same time as others.
So everyone just moved out the moment they appeared, sparing themselves no glances at all.
As Rodiku was walking across the field to class, he realized people staring mockingly at him.
Both ladies and guys were staring at him.
From the way they checked their SAD and stare back at him, he knew they were checking his rank.
' What is someone like that even doing in this school?'
' His must have excellent grades otherwise CSA wouldn't take a falcon ranked '
' I know that guy. He used to have no rank. We assumed he was some top notch '
' He's just some brilliant loser '
' Hahahaha '
The students discussed him as they stared from different directions.
' Tch, just as I planned ', Rodiku thought as he kept walking, not sparing anyone a glance.
*** 10mins ago ***
' ...So your SAD would still display question marks. It cannot really sense your energy channels because your powers have a different origin from everyone else's. But if I should compare your power to their ranking system, you're at the beginner beta rank. Which makes you the current most powerful student in the school. I already scanned the SAD of every student. The highest is a peak charley ranked who is at the verge of breaking through to meet up with you ', Phil explained.
' It wouldn't make sense to anyone who finds out I am a beta ranked. I can't have my SAD show question marks as well cus you're going to register my ability today as fiber element. Since you can directly register my power into the school and government database, you can also fake a rank for me right? ', Rodiku was lacing his shoes whiles he spoke inwardly.
' Yeah,no sweat. I'll make your SAD read your rank as falcon ranked. But that'll attract trouble makers ', Phil insinuated.
' Hehe... Don't stress at all, that's exactly what I want. I would rather have my targets come to me than the other way around. After all, my time is ticking and the quests are best suited for trouble makers. No?', Rodiku reassured.
' Yeah, that's right. Let me give you a little clue. If you pull off some intelligent move, you'll get the intelligence stat. So put that in mind ', Phil whispered.
' Oh really, it keeps getting better. I just hope I attract enough trouble makers', Rodiku's eyes were shimmering in excitement.
*** Now ***
' At this rate, the news will spread very fast. The boy whom we thought was a top notch was just an F-ranked dick. I'm sure a lot of people would want to punish me for making them see me as a top notch. Hahahaha ', Rodiku laughed as his thoughts were so funny, considering the end results for his victims.
Rodiku boastfully and arrogantly walked amidst all the stares of hatred, disgust and mockery.
Of course, he walked that way to increase the number of trouble makers.
After all, he needed spare targets for future quests.
' Hahahaha, I see what you're doing. You're so wicked ', Phil laughed.
' Well you can't blame me, you're the system, not me. Hehe...', Rodiku muttered.
Rodiku was still walking in a way that suggests, get out of my way punks, I'm so cool.
At least that was the message his observers received, causing most of them to grit their teeth in anger.
After walking a few minutes away from the teleportation circle, Rodiku finally got what he wanted.
' Hey! First year boy! '
' Hey F-ranked dick, stop over there '
' You think you're though, don't you!'
Rodiku heard a group of students asking him to stop moving.
They were approaching him from behind.
* Smirk *
A smirk suddenly appeared on Rodiku's face as he seized his movements.
He stood still, not even bothering to turn and see who they were.
They were coming to him after all.
In no time, Rodiku was completely surrounded by seven boys.
From their reactions, he knew they were a gang and it was obvious who the leader was.
' Hello trash, did you have to make me call you twice? That's a bad habit', the shortest boy in the gang said, whiles patting Rodiku on his shoulder.
' Ehhh? Why is this kid the leader? He's only 4'3 tall. A bunch of losers you must all be ', Rodiku said with a look of contemplation, whiles pointing at the leader.
' ??? '
' Eek! '
' What the! '
Rodiku's statements got through them, piercing their pride and ego.
The short boy's face twitched in several ways.
The mixture of emotions displayed on their faces made Rodiku want to burst into laughter but he held it in.
Though, they could still see urge to laugh written all over his face.
*** A few moments later ***
BAM!!! BANG! SWOOOSH! BOOM!!! FWOOMMMM! PAH! SCREEECHH! CRACK! AAAAH! BAM! FWOOMMMM! BOOM!!! SWEEEEH!
Sounds of explosions, lightening, bone shattering, earth collision, Incineration and wind blades reverberated across the vicinity.
Nothing could be done to stop them from beating the arrogance out of the F-ranked Rodiku.
He really pissed them off and he got what he deserved.
They put Rodiku in a situation where he could not be recognized.
His clothes, all battered and torn off.
He laid in a pool of his own blood with all his limbs broken and bent at insane angles.
Both eye balls where destroyed, rendering him sightless.
His scull had several cracks all over with his nose bone broken inwardly.
His lips looked as ugly as a pig's, from all the beatings.
He had several holes in his guts and other body parts.
Rodiku laid lifeless as he could barely breath at all.
' Davis, he's gonna die any minute from now. We don't want that, do we?', a boy who stood 5'8 with a dark blonde hair said, facing the shortest boy amongst them.
' Shut up, Joe! Are you trying to tell me what to do? Do you wanna end up like him ', Davis felt disrespected.
' Sorry man, I didn't mean it like that ', Joe quickly apologized with a look of fear on his face.
' Good ', Davis said, looking at the other five to see if they also had any suggestions or complaints.
Of course, no one was stupid enough to disrespect Davis, so they shut their mouths.
Davis was a peak charley ranked who used a grade - A teleportation ability.
Whereas the rest were either beginner charley ranked or peak delta ranked.
Even the two begginer charley ranked were no match for him, let alone the other four who were all peak delta ranked.
Knowing that Rodiku was just a falcon ranked, he knew Joe was right but he wasn't bothered.
Davis just squatted beside Rodiku's half dead body and placed his hand on him.
' Spatial displacement ', he muttered.
All of a sudden, a blinding light engulfed the entirety of Rodiku's body.
He disappeared in an instant.
Davis' gang already knew what he was capable of so they weren't surprised.
' Where did you send him ', a boy with a long blue hair asked.
Davis answered with a death stare, causing him to flinch back a bit.
' Have some brains Lawa, the hospital. Where else? ', Joe retorted.
Davis just pocketed and started walking away.
The gang followed behind as he walked towards the classroom block amidst all the gazes and mummerings of the spectators.
*** Two minute prior ***
A white light shone in front of a huge building with CSA hospital designed in front of it.
Upon it dimming, a messy and barely recognizable body was revealed.
A few seconds after the body appeared, an emerald light enveloped it entirely.
Once the light subdued, the previously battered and unrecognizable body had healed up completely.
The boy who was obviously Rodiku, rose to his feet and headed to the teleportation circle by the hospital.
' Mission accomplished ', Rodiku thought, wearing a devilish grin on his face.
Earlier on, he acted proud and so full of himself with the aim of getting people to offend him in some way.
What he really wanted was offenders who were either charley ranked of delta ranked.
Fortunately for him, he got one peak charley ranked, two begginer charley ranked and four peak delta ranked for his targets.
He only needed an additional eleven delta ranked for targets.
Once he finds them, he can complete all of his quests which he plans on doing before the end of the week.
' Looking at their abilities and physical stats, taking them out shouldn't be a problem at all ', Rodiku thought as he entered the teleportation circle and disappeared in the next instant.
Whiles the gang was beating the crap out of him, he secretly used his impeccable eyes, which glows a faint purple when activated, to scan them for their personal info.
He realized they had two stats that he didn't, intelligence and mental fortitude.
Rodiku being brilliant himself, knew what mental fortitude was.
They all had weak mental fortitude, which made him really happy cus that makes his plans fail proof.
With low mental fortitude, the probability of they overcoming a mind manipulation like illusions was very low and that was to Rodiku's advantage.
He had registered all the informations regarding his targets in his mind, so he already considered them as dead and gone.
A few minutes later, Rodiku was walking across the field again.
He had gone to change up his battered uniform and worn a new one.
' Those dick heads ruined a whole pair of uniforms. But not to worry, it's all worth it ', Rodiku muttered, feeling it was unfair yet fair enough.
' Hehe... I wonder how this will end ', Phil chuckled.
' I know just how this will end. With me leveling up, that's how. This is... This... The quest is too easy ', Rodiku spoke with full confidence.
' Yeah I even regret it now. It's just too easy, it should be completed today it's self ', Phil coincided.
' The quests were to test your capability to take someone's life. I mean who would have thought you had such a fucked up mind. Anyway, don't expect your next set of quests to be easy ', Phil said, feeling cheated.
' You know what? On second thought, one week is too much. Go check your bank tab, I have a deal for you ', Phil disclosed, peaking Rodiku's curiosity.
' Heh? What are you up to? Don't try anything sketchy ', Rodiku said with a look of suspicion.
' Shut up and check it already, cheater! Hmph ', Phil blurted, still feeling cheated.
' Aahahahaha! I just can't hold it when I see you helpless ', Rodiku laughed out loud, startling the few people who saw him.
He had almost reached the classroom block.
There were very few people going in as it was already 6:56am.
' Open bank ', Rodiku thought, still feeling suspicion of Phil.
*** Bank ***
[ Depts ]
[ Deals ]
[ Contracts ] - locked
' Why is contracts still locked?', Rodiku asked.
' Why would I accept any contract from a weak ass? Contracts will be unlocked when you reach level 10. But I have one deal for you ', Phil belittled Rodiku.
' Eek! What a pussy ', Rodiku felt Phil's statement pierce his ego.
' Open deals ', he thought as he stood in front of the door of class 200.
The door slid open and he entered.
Immediately the door shut behind him, he stood still staring straight forward with an intrigued look.
' What the fuck! ', Rodiku couldn't believe his eyes.
*** Deals ***
[ Complete all random quests within the next 15 minutes for, 15000 Exp, 15000^, 1500 starts points, 5 skills unlock and energy containment space ]
( Accept ) ( Decline )
' ??? '
Rodiku became speechless as he stared at the screen in front of him.
' Hahahaha! I can see your greediness rising. Well, I can't blame you. That's a very good deal, no? Anyway, you only have 15 minutes if you accept it, so there's no time to make people offend you. If you really want to get to the top, you must be ready to do anything. Even if you have to terminate the love of your life, hehe. I know you're just thirteen years old, so this is... ', Phil was still talking when he was cut short.
' Shut up, Phil! You bastard! Have you no shame at all? How can you ask me to do indiscriminate killing? Would I like it if someone killed me without any reason? I am just thirteen and you want to use me to kill innocent people. Is that what you expected me to say? Fuck no! Who cares, I don't care. Do you care? Fucking accept, what are you waiting for. I accept, start counting down already. Hahahaha, this keeps getting better. Eek!...', Rodiku froze up after realizing that he had been standing there for almost two minutes now, looking utterly shocked.
Rodiku quickly walked to his seat, avoiding all the eyes staring at him, which was pretty much every eyes in the room.
' Pheew!', Rodiku heaved a sigh of relief.
' Hey dick head, don't surprise me when I just entered a room again. Damn you ', Rodiku warned.
' First of all, you're the one who shocked me. Is something in your head broken? You're making my job too easy. I am supposed to shape you from a pussy to a strong minded powerful being and you already have the state of mind necessary for level 15. What is wrong with you? ', Phil just couldn't put two on two for this one.
' What is wrong with me? All my life, I believed fate is something the universe decides for you. But ever since your appearance, I have come to believe otherwise. From now on, I determine my own fate. I don't want anyone dictating my life for me. Neither do I want to be bound by laws and principles. Fuck laws and principles, I'm gonna do what I want and no one will be able to do a thing about it. For that I must achieve power that surpasses everyone and every creature. Why should some students stop me from doing that? Consider them dead ', Rodiku thought.
' Well congratulations, you'll be receiving a class very soon. Anyway, you only have 14 minutes left ', Phil reminded.
' Don't sweat it, chill out. You'll be in trouble if you're not in class before the teacher arrives at seven. But once he's in and sees you, you can go to the washroom or anywhere even without asking for permission. I'm only waiting for the teacher to... ', Rodiku was still talking to Phil in his head when he heard the door slide open.
SWEEESHH!
It was 7:00 on the dot.
Their teacher, Mr. Inkoy walked in, dressed in his usual long sleeve shirt and black trousers.
He walked casually to the front of the class before greeting the class.
' Hello, students ', he greeted.
' Hello, Sir ', they responded in uniformly.
After that, he started running his eyes through the entire class, checking if all thirty students were present.
