《Beyond Time and Space》Chapter 9: I’m the King of the World!

[You were revived within the safe area of the Altar of Order.]
Half groggy, Liam opened his eyes and saw the purple sky of the Neutral Dimension.
"Liam, are you okay?" Maybe he was delirious, but Liam could swear that Genex's voice had a worried tone.
"Dying is painful... I do not recommend anyone..." he murmured as he sat down.
Looking around, the white field was full of awakened.
"How long am I out?"
"Just 3 minutes."
"Any news?" He asked as he got up and snapped his back.
"None."
Liam felt strange. When he was dying, he could feel the darkness approaching. A chill had taken over her body. It was something he was not anxious to repeat.
"Genex, what are my earnings?"
[Blood Core: 26.386]
[Soul Core: 4]
[Rank-G Chest: 21]
[Rank-E Chest: 3]
[Contribution Points: 18.847]
Before you do anything, he first opened the chests.
Of the Rank-G's Chests, his gains were: 120 Blood Core, 7 types of weapons, 3 Small Healing Potions, 2 Small Mana Potions, 2 skills books, and 1 necklace.
Of Rank-E Chests, he won 1 silver armor, 1 skill book, and 1 Ancient Scroll.
As much as he wanted to know what the skills were, he was much more curious about the parchment. By the time he had won 2 scroll’s. The first gave him a very good title, the second gave him the opportunity to multiply 1 item at the cost of MP. What would that third party give you?
Liam opened it. Although he knew that something good would definitely come, what he most wanted was something that would boost his MP.
[You have opened the Ancient Scroll: Wish and Fate.]
[This parchment contains the power of a star of fate capable of granting desires.]
[Take your wish.]
Taken by surprise, his mouth said before he really could think.

"Infinite mana..." Her eyes widened. As soon as he finished speaking, his hand went to his mouth regretting. What kind of ridiculous desire was that? As if something like this could be done...
[Desire received.]
[Skill seeking...]
[Skill found.]
[You wanted a Rank-SSS ability. A divine ability.]
[This is a skill available to only 7 users at a time.]
[You are the second human to have this ability and the sixth user in the entire Multiverse.]
[Congratulations! You have been given the rank-SSS ability: Mana Soul.]
[Ancient Scroll, Wish and Fate was used.]
[You can not use any more scrolls with the ability: Wish and Fate.]
[You are no longer affected by the ability, Wish and Fate.]
[The ability, Mana Regeneration, has become useless. Would you like to erase it from your skills window?]
Liam agreed automatically.
He did not even blink. He stood there, standing like a statue attracting the attention of many awakened.
"Look, it looks like there's someone else who's gone crazy."
"These guys should die soon."
Ignoring what they were saying about him, Liam took a deep breath trying to calm his racing heart, but it was hard.
How could he calm down when he received a Rank-SSS ability? This could only be a dream. It had to be a dream.
"Oh..." he moaned, stroking his left arm where he nipped.
Taking a deep breath once more, he opened the skill panel.
.....
Skills - (9/10): [Blessing of the Gods - Rank-S (Temporary)] | [Time Stopping (Active - Rank-E)] | [Slash (Active) - Rank-F] | [Haste (Active) - Rank-G] | [Fireball (Rank)] | [Sword Mastery (Passive) - Rank-G] | [Shadow of Darkness (Active) - Rank-F] | [Recovery (Passive) - Rank-G] | [Mana Soul (Passive) - Rank-SSS]
.....
Then he clicked on the most recent ability.
.....
Mana Soul (Passive): the ability to generate unlimited Mana.

Rank: SSS
Effect: Infinite Mana and Mental Power
.....
"It's here. It's definitely real. All right, let's see... Status..."
.....
Name: Liam Mason
Level: 43 | EXP: 0.8%
Class: Awakened
Title: [Demon Hunter] | [Brave Warrior]
HP: 560 | MP: Infinity
Vitality: 56
Strength: 85
Dexterity: 92
Mental Power: Infinity
Magic Power: 23
Attributes Points: 55
Skill Points: 80
.....
Liam almost had a heart attack. Was that your dream come true?
"I-I... I think I just became OP..."
It took about an hour for Liam to calm down. After all, he's still a 16-year-old. Being able to gain power would always surprise, especially today's youngsters in which heroes have invaded the movie screens, animes have gained more recognition and little by little is invading the other countries.
Liam was no exception. With today's world, where earning money for daily bread is getting harder, gaining power would be a blessing. Even more something overpower.
"HAHA HA!!! I’m the king of the world!" He shouted, opening his arms.
The awakened ones quickly moved away from the madman.
Realizing the shame he was paying, Liam had the decency to blush and swallow laughter. With her head down, he moved away.
...
Finding another quieter place, he sat down and checked the skill books.
The 2 skill books he earned from Rank-G's Chests were repeated skills. Ice Wave and Fireball.
He then verified the ability of the Rank-E Chest.
.....
Sword's Dance (Passive): Be a god when attacking with swords.
Rank: E (0/200)
Effect: has a 10% chance to cause a second consecutive attack without any cost
Restriction: only sword attacks
.....
Even with a free slot, he would not learn this ability. Despite wearing a katana, Liam always found the wizards more interesting. Now, with his newest infinite mana ability, he was determined to have a powerful ability to learn as soon as Blessing of the Gods was fully used, not that he was looking forward to it.
"Now, it's time to take full advantage of this ability... Hihihi..." he chuckled, taking out the Ancient Scroll with the inventory multiplication spell next to a Soul Core.
.....
Ancient Scroll: multiplication spell.
Canticle: "My greed can not be contained. My desire can not be denied. My words can not be ignored. With the old power, everything was settled. The laws of physics are meaningless. Multiply everything without being contained."
Effect: An item will be multiplied by 2 successively while the user has Mana.
Cost: 500 MP 2x for each multiplication
Uses: 1
.....
Liam put the Core on the ground before him, opened the parchment and read:
"My greed can not be contained. My desire can not be denied. My words can not be ignored. With the old power, everything was settled. The laws of physics are meaningless. Multiply everything without being contained."
A 2-meter magic circle came around the Core and shone magically. At one point there was only 1 Core, the next moment there were 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64... 2.048... 65.536... 1.048.576
Surprisingly, even with the absurd amount of Core, within circle there were only 64 Core. Apparently, the magic circle could withstand an infinite number, but without actually demonstrating.
Liam continued. After all, he did not know if he would get this parchment a second time and besides, he could use to exchange with others awakened by something of his interest.
He decided to stop after getting a ridiculous number of Core.
[Congratulations! You received 81.129.638.414.606.681.695.789.005.144.064 Soul Core.]
They were all stored within Genex. Without thinking twice, he opened the skills panel and updated all of his skills to Rank-A.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

It's very experimental so readers; do note. There are major changes in writing style within the series as I keep testing things out. Of course, that does not mean that the story actually deviates from its intended progress. It just means that your reading experience may fluctuate quite often... Anyways, I hope you enjoy this story. :D p.s. not sure if there will be any sex scene in this novel but the boy starts off as 7... so... long time till we get there. May have lollies though!
