"I think I am close," Creed grumbled.Raymond stayed silent, his mind was still filled with rampaging thoughts. He was not expecting things to turn this ugly. He knew that subject will face difficulty with the inflation, but none of his previous subjects were this crazy. None of them could go past 20 tries whereas Creed was still asking for more even after 87th continuous attempt.  "God! This kid is like a bull!""He should have fainted by now...""Is he not human or something?"Creed's telling them that he was close lured Jessica into perplexity. She knew how difficult this step was, but she also knew if he stopped now, then there was almost no chance of him reaching the third stage today. His body would not recover from the recoil stress atleast, not for today.  "What should we do now?" Jessica turned at Raymond.Raymond was silent the entire. Somewhere in his mind he was also aware that this might be it. 

Creed was having a very difficult time with the third phase: Awareness. But now Atlas had chimed in to share some of his efforts, Creed was somewhat hopeful this time. With a companion, he started gaining his lost hope. He knew Atlas wasn't just an ordinary weapon, but very mysterious and knowledgeable. If it wasn't for his help inside the Abyss, Creed couldn't have climbed all the way up to the surface.Not much time had passed since the time he came back from the abyss. Atlas was not just a weapon, but a being with a rationale. Creed became self-conscious about using him while training, even though he wanted to. As a result, he was still oblivious to the actual extent of Atlas' abilities and intellect.It was impractical to even consider that they could be palsy-walsy with each other just from day one. The awkwardness between them was still deeply rooted within their bond.After getting a heads up from the Atlas, Creed began with the process without wasting mo

Three months have already passed. Creed has become much more proficient with his new berserk skill: Catharsis. He has practiced Catharsis with all his might. After butting head with the skill for three months, Creed has understood the skill to a considerably deeper level. During these months Creed was both frustrated and happy.His frustration rooted out of the fact that his new skill was extremely difficult and complex. But his happiness rooted from finding something which can engage him to this degree. The challenges that Catharsis provided during his practice have taught him so many things about chakra he never knew before.During these three months, he has done nothing but practice the skill in Genome Library with Raymond and his team. This seclusion was necessary because learning the skill was impossible without the catalytic energy that V-53 provided. The reagent would act as a constant source of nutrition to his body, which would replenish his heavy

Vance had an intuition that if can stay in touch with the armored-man, he could be pretty useful in the future.Vance Sullivan was the son of a famous business tycoon, Bryon Sullivan. The Sullivan family was famous for being the one of the leading force in the metal producers and suppliers. Vance Sullivan was destined to be the owner of his father built Ironworks Company.This was the biggest reason Creed was hesitating to tell Vance his name. He was already aware of Vance's identity. Creed just wanted to be careful around him.Vance packed all the beast's bodies and tied them to his mount that was still standing outside of the cave's entrance. He soon left Creed

"Sir, you can't any further!""What? Why?" Creed frowned."Sir, before you can go any further, you need to show us your household's aristocratic status.""What? My family's doesn't have that yet...""You can't go any further. Entry for individuals who are below Imperial Aristocracy are not allowed.""Listen... we just need to get this snack 'Royal Pheonix Cheese Waffles'. We don't have any other purpose for going to the upper floor. The receptionist didn't tell me anything about this.""That dish is exclusive to only with designated Aristocracy.""What are you serious? It's just a snack." Creed clenched his fist hard."Entry is prohibited, these are the orders from our manager himself. Please leave.""You guys are prohibiting me to get a snack because of my status... what kind of bullshit is that?" Creed shouted louder than necessary.Hearing the quarrel inside the shop, several other customers now also started pa
