Adair

"Boy!"

"Thief!!!"

"My golden apple!!"

"Boy! Come here..."

"Don't let us catch you boi!!!"

At the grassland of the countryside, the townsfolk of various ages are chasing a boy.

This boy who looks innocent and untainted with evil turns out to be a thief.

The boy dressed in tattered clothes riding a oversized centipede were actually a reincarnated person.

[Labyrinth of Grass]

Nearby grass that was just some inches tall before, grows tall as houses in just a second.

Forming a maze that looked like no end.

As the townsfolk were about to cath up to the boy, something happened that change their minds and halted quickly.

"An awakener!"

"It turns out the thief is a awakener!"

"If only he just asked!"

Fortunately, those people are only at the start of the maze. If they are at some parts, I'm afraid they will not make outside in their lifetime especially if they are unawakened.

As for the creator of the maze, he was escaped the place long ago.

...

Somewhere far...

The boy earlier, Adair, his name before reincarnating into this world was laying under a tree while celebrating.

Adair glances each fruit and smiles, this was his hard work and determination pays off.

For 9 years, finding each fruit is his only goal.

Just for him to escape being a Tier-0.

Tier-0 means a normal human in this world. Many wants to escape it, but only privileged and hardworking person can do it.

It can be said that if you escape being Tier-0 you are already has the respect of the people.

This is why the townsfolk wonders why did Adair stole the golden apple instead of asking for it.

If only they knew that Adair is Tier-0 just like them...

The 7 epic fruits disappeared and then replaced by a large root.

Adair then continue to look at the other rewards of the quest.

Description: When planted, summon the tree of withering that withers all life in the surrounding area. If a creature is killed by withering, it's corpse will turn to a nourishment for summoning the Withering Guardian. Recoverable.

Adair looks at the seed in his hand shocked.

This small seed can kill armies then summon a guardian!!

Adair knows the power of withering and it is terrifying.

He once heard that a famous Tier-6 powerhouse is killed by withering beast while on a mission.

It's damage penetrate defenses means any armor is useless! And the damage is also poisonous.

Even if this world has no internet, the news still spread fast.This causes the kingdoms to warns the people to stay away from it.

Adair quickly stores this seed to his inventory fearing a powerhouse might sense the Withering and take it.

Sadly, he was a step to late.

Adair felt an aura of life in the distance.

The aura is coming so fast to his direction that it seemed teleporting.

Adair prepares for combat, Nidhogg who was enjoying licking the root stops and transformed to a big scissor.

This scissor is the base form of {Ledthopias}, the exclusive weapon of Adair.

Moments later, two figures appeared in front of Adair. One of them is a middle-aged man and the other one is a young girl.

Both of them is wearing a fancy white clothes with some blue patterns and a blue logo of wave in their chest.

As the man is about to speak, Adair interrupted him.

"Who are you!!"

Adair pointed scissor to the man.

"Young man, don't be so rash... We are happen to sensed a withering energy and investigating"

The middle-aged man reassured the boy in front of him while checking him.

Infact, the man already knew that the withering energy disappeared as fast as they sensed it.

But Adair didn't let his guard down.

Seeing this, the young girl felt insulted then begun to rap.

"Ha! Commoner didn't you know the Water God Temple? You should bow down and lick my feet if you want to live!"

Adair didn't even look at her.

"Never heard of it"

"You-!!!"

The girl took out her staff and was about to blow this commoner's head was stopped bya hand.

"Well then young man i hope you can give us some space in the tree, as you can see my disciple is tired and it's hot"

Adair let go of {Ledthopias} and nodded. He already recovered some energy so he didn't need to stay under that tree.

As he was to leave, the man tossed a bag of coins to him.

"Young man, thankyou for being patient to my disciple take this bag as compensation of trouble"

Ledthopias catches the bag then transformed to Nidhogg to follow Adair.

...

After the figure of Adair is far enough, the annoying girl spoke again.

"Master why did you stop me? That commoner is only at Tier-1 trash and so disrespectful!"

The man glanced at the direction Adair left.

"That commoner may be only Tier-1, a tier lower than you, but i can feel those scissors will cleave your head the moment he moves"

"Even i, a Tier-7 cannot save you from that"

The man pause then look up.

"A forgotten God's avatar has appeared again"
