Synopsis

WPC 242 Gold Winner. SSS Beast Apostle System and Survival Racing in Apocalypse. When the aliens invaded earth, they didn’t come for its resources as many doomsayers had proclaimed throughout the years. Instead, they came for fun. They came, flattened earth’s biggest cities and turned the world into a planet-sized stadium for their civilization. The sport? Survival Racing. Ferocious alien beasts were unleashed upon the ruins of the world along with thousands of alien death-row fugitives who were only told one thing: Kill the humans, survive the year and regain your freedom. Elliot was a survivor. He died right before he entered the final 15 days of the Games. But as his consciousness began to slip away, a metallic voice rang out within his soul. Mission failed. Activating sponsor’s Boon: Reverse Time Walk. Activating sponsor's Boon: Beast System. "Welcome to the Beast System. My name is Hawk, your AI." ----------------------------------------------------------- EXCERPT from Chapter 1: Elliot screamed in absolute exhilaration as he smashed his foot on the brakes, just enough to fully utilize the power of his ceramic brakes but not so much that his tires locked up. He went from two hundred miles an hour to forty miles an hour in a heartbeat. He entered the sharp corner from the outside at the maximum entry speed and skillfully brought his car to the threshold of his tire’s grip. SCREEE!! He took the corner at record speed like a professional racer and then floored the pedal to the metal once more! ---------------------------------------------------------- Action packed start.

Chapter 1Elliot's Death

Elliot screamed in absolute exhilaration as he smashed his foot on the brakes, just enough to fully utilize the power of his ceramic brakes but not so much that his tires locked up. He went from two hundred miles an hour to forty miles an hour in a heartbeat.

He entered the sharp corner from the outside at the maximum entry speed and skillfully brought his car to the threshold of his tire's grip.

SCREEE!!

He took the corner at record speed like a professional racer and then floored the pedal to the metal once more!

RAAARR!!

His 2401 Agera II shot out of the curve like a bullet and quickly caught up to Natoru's Gallardo III who didn't quite clear the corner as perfectly as he did.

"Gotcha! It's my turn to ruin your car, asswipe!!" Elliot 's lips curled into a grim smile as his eyes blazed with excitement and an intense thirst for revenge.

Elliot deftly positioned his Agera II diagonally behind Natoru's Gallardo III and then with a quick flick of his wrist, he bumped the Gallardo III from the rear.

Well, it wasn't a bump, actually. It was more like a crash.

CRASH!

Elliot's little crash caused Natoru's Lamborghini to swerve violently to the right!

"Damn! If it was going just a tiny bit faster, it would have flipped!" Elliot cursed his bad luck as he tapped on his brake to avoid Natoru.

After Natoru veered off the road, Elliot smashed his foot down the accelerator once more and his sleek Koenegsigg Agera II blasted off, leaving Natoru and his Gallardo III in the dust.

Ding! [Daily mission #350: Fishtail an opponent] Complete. 50 points acquired.

Ding! Pre-Race Position: 1. Maintain position until Dallas city to receive pole position for the Monthly Race.

Elliot ignored the familiar notifications in his mind and shifted to sixth gear.

VROOM!!

His Agera II leapt ahead as it's 10 Liter V20 hypercharged engine roared like a mighty beast and delivered one thousand horsepower to each of his four tires, powering him down the deserted highway in excess of four hundred kilometers an hour.

"There would be no way Natoru can catch up to me now." Elliot thought in satisfaction. "It's almost all straightway from here on. I will reach Dallas in thirty minutes tops. The pole position is mine!"

However, before he could fully bask in the warm glow of his minor victory over Natoru, he caught sight of something bright in his rearview mirror.

"Huh? What's tha.. OH MY GOD!" Elliot screamed in horror.

It was a laser-guided rocket-propelled grenade!"

SEEEEEEEEEE!!

The laser-guided RPG gave out a terrifying high-pitched wail as it rapidly approached Elliot's Agera II. Travelling at over four hundred meters a second, there was no way he could outrun it or even dodge it.

"Damn it! Damn it all!" He shouted with a deep sense of regret and unwillingness.

"It's all because of my stupid sponsors! How is it that I won the Monthly Race THREE times in a row, secured an additional Diamond Sponsor and got NOTHING??" Elliot gave voice to his extremely deep-seated grievance that had been weighing down on him for the past few months.

"Natoru only got participation last race and he got a G*D D*MN RPG! DAMN YOU DIAMOND SPONSORS!! DAMN YOUR SOULS TO HELL!! DAMN YOUUUUU-"

BOOM!!

The laser-guided RPG that Natoru got from his Bronze Sponsor was military grade, and could easily blow up an armored tank. Elliot and his Agera had no chance at all.

However, just as his Agera II was heaving upward and forward due to the RPG's explosion, time seemed to stop.

Ding! Player 1,227,454, Elliot Musk on the verge of death. Activating Diamond Sponsor Time Walker's Boon: Reverse Time Walk. Randomizing length. 350 days. Processing… … Complete.

After that, everything went black for a moment.

When Elliot opened his eyes, he was back in his old cottage out in an unknown small town somewhere in the State of California. He frowned deeply and glanced at the information panel next to his bed. 31st December 2421. Exactly 350 days before his death, and one day before the aliens invaded.

"What? Did I go back in time?" Elliot was surprised, but adrenaline was already pumping in his veins.

Ding! Diamond Sponsor Void Walker's Boon, Reverse Time Walk completed.

Ding! Activating Diamond Sponsor Monkey King's Boon: SSS Beast Taming System. Processing… … Complete.

"Welcome to the SSS Beast Taming System." A different voice sounded in his head. "I am Hawk, your AI. I will guide you to your destiny as a Divine Beast Tamer of the Frosthaven Empire."

*-*-*-*-*

"Void Walker!!!" A giant golden dragon roared in anger. "What is the meaning of this?! Why are we back at the beginning!!"

A cute little girl in a cute warm yellow dress that looked barely a day over ten years old turned to the massive ten meter tall dragon and rolled her eyes.

"It was random. If you want to blame anyone, blame the organizers. How in the world did they manage to get the maximum roll on such a powerful boon? The maximum roll was only three weeks previously." The little girl shook her head in slight wonder and amazement. "That Elliot dude is extremely lucky."

"LUCKY?" The golden dragon roared again. "He's basically restarting the Game knowing EVERYTHING that would happen in the next 350 days! THAT'S CHEATING!"

The little girl merely gave the golden dragon a wide grin and shrugged helplessly. It was out of her hands and he knew it.

She glanced down on her betting slip.

Bettor: Jessica Sands

Bet on: Elliot Musk Final Victory

Bet size: 30 resource planets.

Payoff: 3,000 resource planets.

Jessica Sands the Void Walker chuckled with great satisfaction.

3,000 resource planets! That little punk was about to make her very, very rich!

She turned to look at the Monkey Lord who was similarly looking at his betting slip with a foolish smile.

"How much did you bet?" Void Walker asked.

"Two resource planets." Monkey Lord replied. "You?"

"30."

At that, the other fifty or so Diamond Sponsors turned their heads around to look at the Void Walked in shock and undisguised envy.

"THAT'S CHEATING! CHEATING!!!" The golden dragon roared furiously. But everyone present could hear the jealousy and unwillingness in his voice.

And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.
