The sun filtered through the windows, casting a soft and warming glow on the floor carpet. The air was perfectly warm, the heat of summer prickling the air.
Huff huff!
Lucan panted as he sat down on the floor. For over 6 hours he had been awake and now he felt slightly exhausted. His eyes glanced at the water at his side and with a twist of the bottle cap he gulped down huge amount of water
"Hah!" He exhaled in satisfaction. For over 30 minutes he had been doing some light stretches and he had to say.. "Was I really this weak?"
Thinking about it, he shaked his head and stood up. Today was a Sunday and it was the day it was going to happen. The arrival of the ever spires. It was the day the entire world was going to change.
"System" Lucan called out.
Instantly the voice of the system responded.
{ How are you doing host! }
Lucan nodded and replied "I'm doing good. What about you? Do you know anything about the ever spires?"
{ I only know as much as you do host } Cheerfully it replied
Lucan nodded. I thought as much
"You read my mind and memories right?"
The system paused for a moment before responding { Yes host I did. If it is of any inconvenience to you, I can stop it }
Lucan didn't respond again. He had already gotten the information he needed.
{ Yeah stop it. I will like it if we could respect each others privacy }
{ Yes host }
I will need to get that thing…
Lucan didn't say anything about it again as he went outside of the room. In just 30 minutes time it was going to happen.
He walked to the front door and made sure to check it for any issues. He checked the windows, the doors and every other place in the house, save from his mothers room and his.
By the time he was done doing all that, it was already 11:55.
5 minutes left..
The pressure didn't affect Lucan one bit, rather he was pretty excited. He couldn't wait to see what ability he would get. The chances of getting an SSS rank ability was completely dependent on luck. Luck wasn't something someone could change and it wasn't something that was completely guaranteed. You could have high luck but still get a low ability why? Because it wasn't a 100% win. You loose and you fail, it was just that your win was far more than your fail. But since Lucan own luck had passed the human limit, it was surely guaranteed.
Soon enough the 5 minutes passed and the air outside began to dim. The clouds once drifting lazily across the blue and oppressive sky now began meeting each other and the warm sunlight which had prickled at its skin of the city inhabitants now began to dissapear.
Everywhere in the city, people began to look up at the dark and grey sky.
It was as if a gods shadow had decided to snuff out all warmth and hope from it.
"What is that?" A young man, dressed in business suit said as he stared at the grey and dark above. A woman selling food, looked up, too shocked at the sudden change.
In a football field where a match was ongoing, countless fans and the footballers stared at the sky. The commentators even commented saying "Well it seems the sky doesn't want us to see this game Gary"
"I told you John, the world was against us winning, hahaha"
Everywhere was becoming darker. But then suddenly something announced.
{ World update initialising….. }
{ World update complete! }
{ The Ever spires is reacting! }
"Wha—!" Before anyone could react, suddenly massive black structures the size of skyscrapers began dropping from the sky like the weapon of a god!
In what was a split second, two massive and pure beams of white light, shot out from a gaping hole in the clouds, booming at the center of the New sate district, ripping the concrete free from the ground.
People began screaming, fear and panic etching into their minds as they ran for their life.
In what was only a few seconds, destruction had already rained.
The city of ski-haven was now embedded with 3 titanic and ginarmous structures, their size a devastation unto the city!
Back In Lucan's apartment, Lucan watched through his room window all that had happened. Even from where he was he could see it…no everyone could see and hear it.
The voice had said it out and now the Ever spires had appeared.
Time for the gift Smiling Lucan thought.
Instantly in the air, a panel the size of a keyboard, purple and gold rippled into existence as words began forming on it.
{ Abilities ranging from F rank to Sss rank will be given out in 60 seconds. Please do not panic inhabitants of earth as it could greatly affect your chances }
A countdown suddenly initiated, the air glowing golden with numbers, each second ticking down.
From now on, the world was going to change. It was not going to be the same and as the last number ticked into view " 0…"
It appeared
{ Congratulations to Lucan farel for receiving two SSS rank abilities }
{ Element imprint and Soul brand }
{ Will you like to view your abilities Yes/ no }
{ Thanks for clicking yes. Showing description….}
