They sauntered into the room, their presence suffocating, their laughter dripping with malice. Marcus, a tall and imposing figure with a sneering expression, directed his gaze toward Keagan and said, "Looks like we've found our little janitor slacking off again. Maybe he needs a reminder of his place."Todd and Kyle snickered, joining in the mockery. Todd, a stocky guy with a crew cut, nudged Kyle, a lanky figure with a permanent smirk etched on his face.Keagan's pulse quickened, and a sense of dread washed over him. They closed in, encircling him like vultures closing in on their prey. Marcus, the self-appointed ringleader, looked down at Keagan with disdain. "Seems like the janitor forgot his place in our prestigious company. Maybe he needs a reminder of his worthlessness."Todd and Kyle snickered, their eyes gleaming with malice. Keagan forced himself to meet their gaze, his eyes filled with a mix of defiance and resignation. But just as Marcus prepared to unleash his next barb, the shrill sound of an alarm reverberated through the office. Startled, the bullies glanced around, confusion replacing their smug expressions. The intercom crackled to life, and the voice of the company CEO filled the room, demanding immediate attention in the main lobby.
“We’ll be back for you, trash, don’t think you can hide from us in these walls,” Marcus retorted.Relieved, Keagan watched as Marcus, Todd, and Kyle hastily retreated, leaving him alone in the suffocating silence. The lingering tension hung in the air, but for the moment, he was spared their torment.As he took a moment to collect himself, Keagan couldn't help but wonder why he had become the target of their cruelty. Perhaps it was his unassuming nature, his introverted tendencies that made him easy prey. Or maybe it was just the sadistic pleasure they derived from seeing others suffer.Lunchtime arrived, and Keagan made his way to his usual spot beside the bench at the train station, glad that he was away from his tormentors for a short while. It was a small sanctuary amidst the chaos of his daily life. He unpacked his modest lunch, a simple sandwich and an apple, his meager meal prepared with what little he could afford.As he ate, the rumble of an approaching train grew louder. The rhythmic clattering of wheels against tracks became the soundtrack of his solitary moments. Keagan sat alone on the bench, his lunchbox resting on his lap. He took a bite of his sandwich, the taste of the cheap bread and processed meat filling his mouth. As he chewed slowly, his mind drifted to the memories he often tried to suppress.The echoes of his past resurfaced, a collage of painful moments and shattered dreams. He recalled his childhood, growing up alongside his adopted brother, Josh, in a home plagued by abuse and turmoil. Their parents, always at odds with each other, unleashed their anger and frustration on the two innocent children. It was a life filled with fear, pain, and shattered hopes.Keagan remembered the sleepless nights, hiding beneath his thin blanket, praying for the chaos to end. The sound of their parents' screams and the sting of their hands haunted his every thought. The scars, both physical and emotional, marked his existence.Keagan's gaze shifted to the bustling crowd at the train station, a sea of people lost in their own lives. He envied their apparent normalcy, their carefree existence. He wondered what it would be like to have a loving family, a supportive network of friends, and a life free from the shackles of his past.Keagan swallowed the lump in his throat. He knew that life wouldn't magically become easy, but he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way. He finished his meal and stood up, ready to continue his day's work. But just as he moved closer to the edge of the platform, a sudden force pushed him with brutal strength.Keagan stumbled backward, his foot slipping through the gap between the tracks. Panic surged through his veins as he stumbled, his foot wedging between the unforgiving rails. He felt the searing pain shoot up his leg as his ankle twisted at an unnatural angle. As he looked back he could see the familiar faces, faces he knew all too well staring back at him as he panicked, reaching for help. Marcus and his crew realized what they had done, Keagan was not able to get up in time to evade the oncoming train. They cleared the scene fast.As the train thundered towards him, a terrifying realization gripped his mind. Fear surged within him, not just for his own life but for the one person who relied on him the most—his younger brother, Josh. How could he leave him alone in this cruel world? The weight of responsibility pressed upon him fueled his desperate desire to survive.But just as his vision blurred, and the screeching sound of the incoming train filled his ears, a presence emerged, an ethereal power awakening within his being.The world around him seemed to shift, the air crackling with otherworldly energy. A voice, deep and resonant, reverberated within his mind.
"System booting... A new host identified.""Binding to the host...."
"Binding complete!"
"Welcome, Keagan, to the Veilwalker system. Choose your path,"
-Hero
-Anti-Hero
-Villain
Keagan's mind whirled, a cascade of questions flooding his thoughts. What was happening to him? Was this a dream or a nightmare? The voice echoed again, compelling him to make a choice.“Please choose a path before we proceed: Hero, Anti-Hero, or Villain?”With a mix of uncertainty and determination, he found his voice and uttered the word that resonated within him the most. "Hero."In that instant, a surge of power coursing through his veins, and his senses heightened as if a dormant potential had been unlocked. The pain in his ankle faded into the background, overshadowed by the mysteries that lay before him. He glanced at his surroundings, now seemingly bathed in a surreal glow. The train, moments away from colliding with him, now appeared distorted, flickering like a mirage. Confusion and awe mingled within Keagan's eyes as he surveyed the altered scene. The voice of the system fell silent, leaving him with more questions than answers. Keagan found himself suspended in a liminal space.
"What the hell is happening?" he muttered, his voice barely audible amidst the surreal silence.A surge of energy coursed through him, and his attributes were revealed to him."Strength: 50. Agility: 42. Intelligence: 60. Charm: 38. Vitality: 45," the voice intoned."Choose your alias, Hero," the voice prompted, offering him a chance to craft his identity.Before him appeared a transparent screen that seemed to float in the air. The display was augmented in reality as he tried to touch it, noticing how his hand phased through the displayed characters as if they weren't even there. Before him was a list of names etched across the displaySpectral GuardianBlaze StrikerShadow SentinelLightning BoltCrimson ViperFrost NovaSolaris KnightMidnight StormPhoenix FuryNebula SerpentNote: Names can be altered once after you reach B- ClassAfter a moment's reflection, Keagan replied, "S… Spectral Guardian."As the echoes of his chosen alias reverberated, the holographic display that had materialized before him, showcased a skill tree, branching with untapped potential. The voice explained the path to growth."To advance through the ranks, you must acquire experience points and meet certain requirements," the voice narrated. "Each rank unlocks new skills, granting you greater power and influence."The map of the city and the wider world unfolded before Keagan's eyes, highlighting key locations, hidden enclaves, and territories held by various factions. It was a tapestry of secrets and challenges."Your daily tasks await, Spectral Guardian," the voice informed him. "By completing these tasks, you will gain experience, acquire resources, and contribute to the balance within the system."
With a flicker of light, the holographic interface branched into another window of the display, presenting a list of diverse and engaging missions for Keagan to undertake."But heed the rules of the system," the voice cautioned. "Use your powers responsibly, respect the boundaries, and remember that the choices you make will have consequences,”"Your account balance for account xxxxx xxxxxxx xx3437 is 100,000,000," the voice announced,"The funds allocated in this account can be used in the real world to fund your hero activities. Remember to use this money wisely, as your rank increases so will your weekly earnings, is that understood?"The voice paused, waiting for a response from Keagan. He was still trying to wrap his mind around the enormity of the amount displayed in his account. It felt like a surreal stroke of luck, almost too good to be true."I cannot proceed with further instructions unless you give a definitive yes or no," the voice pressed.Keagan's emotions surged with a mixture of excitement and disbelief. It was as if he had stumbled upon a windfall of unimaginable wealth. He gathered his thoughts and replied."Yes! Yes, I understand," Keagan answered eagerly, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. The reality was sinking in, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. The voice acknowledged his response.“Your first daily task, you are to be partnered with Emberlyn, another C-Class hero, for a night-time patrol along the down street of Hollowbrook.”The voice provided a specific meeting location at the central hub and mentioned that the task would begin at 2000 hours, continuing until 1200 hours the next morning. It emphasized that completing this novice task would earn him 2 skill points, a valuable resource for advancing in the skill tree. It paused briefly, allowing the significance of the task to settle in before continuing. It reinforced the importance of using the skill points wisely to further Keagan's growth as a hero."Is that understood?" the voice inquired once again, its voice steady and purposeful.As the voice’s words settled within him, Keagan felt a mix of exhilaration and trepidation. He had been chosen, awakened to a reality beyond his wildest dreams, and entrusted with the power to make a difference. It was a responsibility he embraced wholeheartedly.“I am here if you have any questions. If not, have a great day… Spectral Guardian,”Latest chapter

Blitz chuckled and addressed Keagan, seemingly amused by his skepticism. "You must be the Spectral Guardian, huh? Quite the peculiar name," he remarked, swiftly taking the can from Keagan's hand and popping open the lid. With a series of rapid blinks, Blitz appeared to savor the flavor of the energy drink, as if it enhanced its taste. He then returned the can to Keagan and tapped him on the shoulder."If you're going to drink anything, I highly recommend the Wild Berry flavor of Pulse Power. It's my personal favorite!" Blitz exclaimed, his smile exaggerated as if he were starring in a commercial. Keagan regarded him with a strange look, finding his animated demeanor rather overwhelming. Moreover, Blitz seemed oblivious to the concept of personal space. Keagan turned his attention back to the can; he was still thirsty, but Blitz's earlier invasive act of drinking from it had dampened his enthusiasm for taking a sip."And you're not just saying that because you're sponsored by Pulse Pow

Keagan arrived at the meet-up point. From a distant vantage point, NeoVista revealed itself as a sprawling cityscape illuminated by a neon tapestry of lights. The metropolis buzzed with life, its streets alive with the ebb and flow of a tech-driven society. Towering skyscrapers pierced the night sky, their facades adorned with dazzling displays that bathed the surroundings in a vibrant glow. Their lights seemingly blinded Keagan as he traversed the rooftops, taking in the city with a bird’s eye viewAs pedestrians navigated the bustling streets, their augmented reality glasses flickered with information and overlays, guiding them through the labyrinthine cityscape.

Chapter 12Whiplash stood there, waiting for Keagan's answer. He could see the wrinkles on his face behind his half mask as he pondered, but he didn't interrupt his thought process. "I'll give you a definitive answer after the task you're going to assign me. Right now, I can't make such a heavy decision on the spot. I need some time to think," Keagan finally responded. Whiplash felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had been testing Keagan, seeing if he was the type to act fast and think later. As a teacher of many, he couldn't seem to turn off his role, always seeking to turn situations into teaching moments or tests for his students. Keagan passed his little test, but Whiplash knew it wasn't the right time to press him for an answer. Deep down, however, he felt a sense of pride for Keagan's thoughtful approach."Okay, I understand. I'll give you the time you need to think it over. But for now, you must focus on your task. Consider yourself a B-ranked hero from this moment on. You

As Keagan approached the rooftop, the familiar scent of vehicle exhaust filled the air, reminding him of the bustling city below. He spotted Dante, slouched over the railings and gazing down at the city with a calm demeanor. Though Dante seemed aware of Keagan's presence, he made no effort to acknowledge him or turn his head. Keagan understood the unspoken signs and decided not to disturb him.Leaning against the doorway that led back into the building, Keagan observed the cityscape, waiting for the rest of the squad to arrive—time seemed to stretch as they remained in this silent stalemate. But soon, the atmosphere shifted with the arrival of Lily, whose vibrant energy breathed life into the surroundings.Lily bounded onto the rooftop, her infectious enthusiasm lighting up the space. She greeted Keagan with a cheerful smile, bringing some much-needed warmth to the otherwise subdued atmosphere.

Chapter 10Keagan turned the key in the motel room door, which creaked open, and Josh burst into the room, leaping onto the bed with boundless energy. The mattress sank under his weight as if embracing his vibrant spirit. Keagan followed closely behind, feeling the exhaustion seep into his bones. It was almost 11 p.m., and he hadn't experienced a proper sleep session in what felt like forever. Although his body had fully recovered from the injuries, thanks to his exceptional healing factor acquired from the system, it still needed time to recharge after expending its entire energy reserves. Keagan knew that once he touched the bed, it would be lights out for him. But before he succumbed to sleep, he wanted to share the good news with his brother about his plans for resuming his education.Taking a deep breath, Keagan sat down on the edge of the bed, facing Josh, who was eagerly awaiting his brother's attention. He looked into Josh's eyes, searching for a glimmer of hope and excitement

Keagan returned to the park, the same spot where the mystical door had transported him to the other realm. A surge of questions flooded his mind, compelling him to seek answers from the system. With a quick summon, he initiated a rapid-fire session of inquiry."Hey system, did all that really happen? Did I actually defeat a villain?" he asked, his voice filled with both excitement and disbelief.The system responded in its convincingly human-like robotic voice, "Yes, all your actions have been recorded in your activity report, accessible at any time."A sense of satisfaction washed over Keagan. However, he couldn't help but notice that not much time had passed in the real world. It was only a two-hour difference from when he left in the evening to now, even though it felt like he had spent an entire night in the other world. Perplexed, he decided not to dwell on it for now, as a jumble of emotions overwhelmed him.Some passersby cast curious glances at him, seemingly talking to himsel

As the battle came to an end, the atmosphere calmed, and the augmented reality display within their suits illuminated once more. The system's voice reverberated through Keagan's consciousness, congratulating him on successfully completing his daily tasks and vanquishing the infamous-ranked villain. A sense of accomplishment surged within him."Congratulations, Keagan," the system's voice chimed. "For your triumph over the infamous-ranked villain, you are rewarded with 20 skill points. You can use these skill points to boost your attributes to level up your rank "Keagan's HUD displayed an increment in his skill points. He stood in awe as the system's voice resonated in his ears. "Congratulations, Keagan," the system spoke, "For your exceptional performance in battle.". After it spoke, the familiar ring of the notification alert sounded, and a circular icon appeared on the edge of the display. Keagan waved his hand over it and a new option appeared; Artifacts. The menu dropped down, r

Keagan's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly activated a hidden gadget within his suit. Brilliant beams of light erupted from his armor, piercing through the suffocating darkness that had ensnared them. As the shadows weakened their grip, Keagan and Emberlyn seized the opportunity to break free.In the midst of their escape, both of them couldn't help but notice the subtle enhancements in Keagan's suit. New mechanisms glimmered, indicating upgrades he had acquired. Emberlyn's curiosity flickered briefly, but the urgency of their mission pulled her focus back to the looming threat before them.A surge of courage washed over her, an indomitable will that seemed to emanate from deep within her being. Unbeknownst to her, it was one of the newfound skills Keagan had acquired, the ability to inspire his allies in battle. She couldn't comprehend the source of her sudden empowerment, but she embraced it wholeheartedly.Keagan's voice resonated with newfound authority as he addressed Emberlyn,

"We're on the way," Emberlyn replied, her voice filled with determination. She shot a glance at Keagan, a spark of excitement in her eyes. "Are you ready?"Keagan nodded eagerly, adrenaline coursing through his veins. They dashed through the city streets with lightning speed, their footsteps echoing in sync. Keagan was surprised at the speed he was moving in, he had never experienced such a rush. He was shocked at how he could keep up with Emberyn who slithered and catapulted herself across rails and roofs.
