Versatile System Online



In the very center of the forest, beyond the elven pagoda that had risen some time before. A strange phenomenon took place. The trees around a small area had dried completely as a reddish vein rose above the ground.

It erupted from the soil and the small sprout slowly grew. In complete silence, like a harmless little kid that minded its own business.

However, underneath the peaceful look of the sprout, the changes it caused were momentous. It was exactly the effect of this little spout that had caused a great disruption amongst the beasts that resided in the forest. Though, it's effect wasn't too great as it only effected those beasts that were in the Mortal Realm.

As the little sprout grew taller and taller with the speed visible to naked eye, multiple reddish hues surrounded it as they turned into a haze that covered the sprout into an obscured mystery. It really was strange, for such a small insignificant looking thing to effect a forest that spanned over for hundreds of kilometers.

As the sprout's effect spread, the beasts started to go crazy. The lower tired beasts were the worst as they totally abandoned all their meager thoughts and converged over to a singular point. Their eyes turned red as they gave into their bestial instincts while a single command revolving in their minds; 'To Devour'

As for what they had to devour, they just had a vague direction to travel in. After all, the sprout hadn't matured much and it's influence wasn't omnipotent. As the beats a followed their instincts and the vague intermixed commands in their minds, they went forward towards the location of the mansion.

Just as hey headed for that precise location, their senses triggered as the prey they moved towards showed its presence in full swing. That was when Ray had lifted off the barrier and that allowed more and more beasts to travel towards the mansion.

After all, the energy of not just hundreds of humans but those in Magical realms and a Calamity Realm expert along with a Celestial was too much for the beasts to think of anything else.

These were low leveled unintelligent beasts and didn't consider the strength of their enemies one bit. They just followed their instincts and a command under the effect of the reddish sprout.

A few days passed,

The team following a wounded beast finally killed the beast as a young female in the team sensed the chaotic presence. She felt something amiss and acted appropriately. The female was Kim and she had, along with her team avoided the grim fate that awaited them.

Though, not all teams were as lucky as Kim's. As the savage beasts devoured the humans in their way, they made way towards the mansion.

Within the Mansion,

Ray opened his eyes as he sensed the strange presence of the beasts. He had known for long that something was amiss in the forest but he had to be patient. There were too many variables that he couldn't control and moving out would be showing the elven settlement a weakness and hence giving them a chance to press forward.

"Everyone, gather in front of the Mansion. We have something to check on," He shouted in the microphone as teams to soldiers started moving.

Every person in the mansion who had been appointed as a fighter was present. Amongst them were the strongest and weakest and they all stood in ghe same line. No one differentiated one from the other as they were all under Ray's leadership and no one was belittled.

Ray had been waiting for long. As he noticed that almost everyone had arrived and only those who were missions and other important duties weren't present, he started to address them.

"Guys, a beast horde is coming,"

That was it. That was the bomb that Ray had dropped and like a stone dropping into a calm lake, it's ripples spread out as slowly, everyone started discussing amongst themselves.

Ray stayed silent as he looked at them. He knew that he had to let them discuss amongst themselves and sate their curiosity before he could continue. After all, these weren't trained soldiers but mere students in the academy that had recently gotten their systems.

Besides Ray, his teammates looked at him with worry. They knew more than the others as Ray had briefed them previously. Amongst those were also some who he didn't like but since they were strong, he had to keep them together.

Apparently, during all this time, Nia had shed her previous stoicness and opened up more. She was more closer to him than before and if Ray was to be asked, he would surely say that he didn't mind her company one bit.

"I guess they are done," Nia interjected from behind. Her voice was low and reserved, like that of a secretary to her employer; she mostly stayed reserved.

As for Kashish and Aella, the expressions on their faces weren't so kind. A silent rage had swelled in their hearts but they kept themselves in check. They knew that they were jealous and would surely take action if Nia did something strange but she stayed in her boundaries and therefore, so did Kashish and Aella.

"Clap…Clap…Okay everyone, now listen to what I have to say," Ray clapped his hands lightly as he rerouted everyone's attention to himself.

As everyone turned their attention towards him, Ray relayed his plan to them, "First of all, our priority is to capture the first few beasts that arrive. Capture them, however you do so is not an issue but remember, your life is more important. After that, we lay a drive and then kill the rest of the horde. Also, some of you won't take part in the battle. As for who they will be, it will be sent to your academy badges,"

"Ahem… Sir," A hand was raised as a guy looked at Ray with some sort of emotion in his eyes. His reasons unknown but Ray was sure of one thing, the man wanted to sow chaos.

Ray wasn't a kid and he let the guy speak, "Yes please. Speak your mind,"

"Why will some be rested while the rest fight for their lives against a horde of who knows how many beasts. Our lives aren't any less important than theirs, or is it that those some people will be your loved ones or friends? Though no offense sir, we all know you have helped us a lot but being fair would be the best now wouldn't it?" the man spoke politely and with a loud and crisp voice audible to everyone.

It was sure from his eyes that he didn't want anything good. He just used the opportunity to weaken Ray's position.

Ray smirked slightly as another mole had revealed it's presence. As for dealing with the man, it wasn't a chore for Ray. Ray smiled slightly as he looked at everyone, seeing suspicions being born in their hearts, he changed his expression.

His face turned grim while expression turned solemn. He looked at them right in their eyes as he started to speak. His voice even louder than before as with every word he spoke, they felt their heart skip a beat. This was Ray's effect ever since he gained full control of his bloodlines and powers. He could use his spirit and cast it outwards.

A resonance was created by his spirit as everyone listening to him felt their hearts move.

"I am sure you all are thinking if I am simply sending you on a suicide mission but believe me, what the others will go through is even worse. You will be hundreds of soldiers, they will be few dozens of soldiers. You will fight mindless beasts and will be accompanied by arms and the siege machines we have prepared for you. They will have their powers to themselves, and will fight against an army of elves, skilled in magic and war, they could decimate you in seconds. I would say, you are the ones having an easy time while the others fight against the might of those who are innately blessed by magic,"

Saying those words, he left the dumbfounded students behind and went on. As everyone settled their hearts, they finally realized how easy they were having it and said nothing. They walked back silently and followed their orders.

As for the guy who tried to cause the chaos. Right after he separated from the others, a shadow rose from above it's fee as a wolf claw grappled its neck and disappeared back into the shadow along with the guy.

Just like that, dinner was served for Sirius while another one of the issues was taken care of. Lately, Sirius was having a lot of loving meat and that allowed him to grow stronger even faster. Though, he didn't prey on humans but on aliens disguised as humans.
