Zusammenfassung

A Speedster in a Fantasy World More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world. Swallowing up the world whole with the vile creatures that came out of it. The humans struggled for years as their weaponry could only get them as far as fending them off. But everything changed when the first super human was discovered, a child that was born after the portals have appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others, and they all held the same power... A power that was known as the System. And those who were born with it were called System Holders. The System Holders, with their mysterious powers, were the ones who helped recover the world from the monsters, once again reclaiming it. And now, a hundred years later, a System Holder was born, the Holder of the Hermes System, the Gatherer of Souls.

Chapter 1Chapter 1: The Beggar and The Academy

"Back in the old world, they say that the humans took 72 hours to reach the moon… Well, I did it in a blink of an eye" - Evans, Holder of the Hermes System, the Year 1327 APC.

More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world.

It took the whole world by surprise. Raining down monsters that swallowed the cities of the world whole, turning it asunder. Huge eagle-like monsters with a body of a lion, three-headed wolves, nine-headed gigantic lizards-- creatures that one could only see in the mythos.

This event came to be known as the Portal Calamity.

The humans fought back. But their hi-tech weaponry was only able to kill the weaker beasts. There were beasts with skin that seemed impenetrable, deflecting even their strongest bullets.

Every second was a battle to survive.

All seemed lost as most of the population have succumbed, their military defeated, their weapons useless, their bullets… depleted.

Their nuclear bombs only caused society and technology to regress, bringing them back to the age of Dark.

But everything changed when the first superhuman was discovered years after their struggle.

A child that was born after the portals have appeared in their world.

A child that was born with abilities that one could only call god-like.

And soon, another one appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others-- Humans that were born with supernatural powers.

And although their powers were different from each other, the super-humans all called their powers by the same name…

The System.

The humans struggled to keep them safe until they were old enough to harness and control these powers. Millions of soldiers, as well as normal people, sacrificed themselves in order to protect their only hope.

And it paid off. A few years after, the balance of war has finally shifted. And although the world has not yet been saved, it was worth it.

Soon, one by one, they reclaimed their cities with the help of the System Holders.

But the portals, even with the defeat of the monsters… the portals remained.

It was not until the first System Holder entered a portal with his comrades that they discovered that they needed to defeat the monsters that were also left inside.

And so, this continued.

A portal opens up, and System Holders are sent to clear it. Those System Holders soon came to be known as Explorers.

The portals and the creatures that come from it were now a part of their world, and so were the System Holders. Living side by side. Any trace of the old civilization was gone, their technology, all but obsolete.

And so, more than a thousand years have passed like this.

The first system holders, in honor of the humans who have protected them, created schools.

Schools to train young System Holders until they were old enough to control their powers. They will nurture them, like how the humans of the Old World have nurtured them.

The Academy for Gifted Children and System Holders, or The System Academy, in short. Except for the extra-curricular activities and other classes, in hindsight, it still functioned as a normal school.

And in one of those schools, a young boy stood carrying a big straw sack. Looking at the gigantic pillars that held the gates of the academy with his eyes full of passion and excitement. Even with his tattered and dirty clothes, even with his feet bare and full of wounds, his swollen eyes sparkled.

Because in front of his eyes, were floating words--

[The Hermes System - Locked]

Floating words that only he could see. It suddenly appeared in front of him when he woke up 3 days ago.

The young boy couldn't read it as he was illiterate. But he knew enough to know that this was usually the first proof that one was a System Holder.

But this was just a ticket. Some people die of old age without even unlocking their System.

And that is why he, Evans, was in front of the academy-- in the hopes that the Academy could help him unlock his potential.

Evans closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. Finally, he will be able to escape his home, escape the hands of his father.

And so, he released his breath and approached one of the guards that were standing in front of the huge gate. The students that were coming and going inside the gate were staring at him, trying to walk a few meters away from him.

"H...hello!", Evans smiled as he bowed towards the guard, "I have come here to enroll, pleet!", due to his nervousness, he bit his tongue.

Seeing the dirty boy in front of him, the guard quickly covered his nose, "Go away, there are no beggars allowed inside the academy!"

"N...no!", Evans shook his head, the smile on his face still strong even with the obvious discrimination, "I am a System Holder!"

"You… a System Holder? Bwahahaha!", the guard laughed, and the students that also heard what he said could not help but scoff.

"If you are a System Holder, then I am a Gold Rank Explorer", the guard continued to chuckle, "Beat it, boy. You are being a disturbance to the students", he then said in a cold tone.

"But I really am a System Holder, look!", Evans raised his finger, trying to point at the words in front of him.

But unfortunately for him, for some reason, the guard saw this as an attempt to touch him. And so, he hit Evans with the hilt of his sword, hard enough for him to be thrown to the ground.

"N...no!", the contents of Evans' sack were blown away, causing it to scatter on the ground.

"Oi, kid!", the guard kicked him, "Pick up your trash!"

"T...these aren't trash!", Evans said as he hastily collected his… items. They were relics-- items from the old world, and as the guard said, were usually trash.

"I...I am going to use this as payment to enroll in the academy!", Evans stood up as soon as he picked up all of his things.

Hearing what Evans said, the people around him once again laughed hysterically.

But Evans did not mind, his eyes were still full of resolution as he stared at the guard straight in the eye.

"I am not going to ask again, boy", seeing Evans' eyes, the guard could not help but click his tongue, "…Leave if you do not want to get hurt aga--"

"Now now, Fred. Let's give the boy a chance"

Before the guard could finish his words, a group of students approached him, led by a student with golden hair.

"Y...young master Gerald!", the guard quickly saluted as soon as he saw who the owner of the voice was.

"The kid seems willing enough", the student called Gerald chuckled, "We will take him to the Headmaster"

"!!!", hearing the student's words, Evans' dirty face instantly brightened, "R...really!?"

"Of course", Gerald smiled at Evans as he approached Evans and patted his shoulder, "Everyone is welcome in the Academy, isn't that right, Fred?", he then turned towards the guard.

"This…", the guard could only grit his teeth as he nodded.

"See?", Gerald clapped his hand, "Now, follow us inside the academy…", he squinted his eyes towards Evans.

"It's Evans! My name is Evans!"

"...Evans, I and my group will bring you to the Headmaster", Gerald smiled.

Once again, Evans thanked Gerald, bowing a couple of times before following them inside the academy.

The guard, Fred, could not help but click his tongue and shake his head as he saw the boy's back disappear into the distance with Gerald's group. The boy looked to be only 12 or so years old, even younger than his son.

He then whispered in a very sorrowful tone,

"...Sorry, kid"

Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System

Draco Xandros, an average young man, awakened an SS-Ranked Copy Talent and a Copy System. With these two strength, he had hope of fulfilling his hidden dream (becoming a hero) but fate said otherwise for him. Betrayed by the person he loved most, he lost his system and talent, his life hanging on a thread. Why? Why me? This question passed through his mind. The paining of getting his system and talent extracted and getting betrayed by his love made him fall in abyss. [Detecting sufficient energy to awaken the system] [Activating the Plundering System] **[Host has successfully awakened the Plundering System]** **[Gained an SSS+ Talent Ability: Plunder]** **[Gained an SSS+ Talent Ability: ????? Dragon Power]** **[Gained an SSS+ Talent Ability: ????? Phoenix Power]** This voice brought a change to his life. Farming EXP, getting stronger, completing missions. This was his daily life. Until a memory fragment surfaced... It turned out his identity wasn’t what it seemed. His past life, his parents—everything was shocking, as he found himself caught in a whirlpool of secrets. Follow Draco’s journey as he uncovers the missing pieces of the puzzle and the hidden truths about his past life. A/N: The novel entails a story about system holders. All ability Awakener have their own system, but in some classes, some Awakener are chosen by unique system, such as the Plundering System (MC's second system), Fox System, Thunder God System, Fire God System, Vampire System, Undead System and many more. I would say the novel has a foundation of magic with little Eastern Fantasy. It is a novel where the stronger prey on the stronger. You'll surely love it. As for the systems origin, I'll drop a hint: gods Please also note, the MC will be overpowered after the awakening of the Plundering System. However, in the beginning, he is just slightly above a genius fighter. Support this shameless Author with power stones, gifts and golden ticket Discord Link:https://discord.gg/zVzcJs2F

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..." Note: I don't own the cover. If the creator wants me to take down the cover or put credit, please notify me by replying to my review at the Review section.

Hello, poor author here. I would just like to point out the things to expect from this book: The Good: 1. I will do my unyielding best to be an author deserving to be at the top, even though we are currently at the bottom. 2. I am your friend. The Bad: 1. Expect me to make grammar mistakes. I mostly mix up my gender pronouns since they don't exist in my language. 2. Pacing will shift from time to time. Mostly fast, but when it is slow, it is slow. 3. I don't write with an ending, so I am as clueless to the story as you are, we are in this journey, literally together. 4. Plot holes - If we fall in them, we fall together. Always together. 5. Damaged MC - Some of you might not like it. Our MC is a survivor of child abuse, so do expect some moments of weakness and irrationality. Just hints and pieces. 6. Character first, System second - Although this is a System book, I tend to focus more on the characters. 7. Inconsitencies - It's a book about a speedster, so there might be inconsistencies here and there. But I will try my best to avoid it. Here's what to do before reading this book: 1. Play some music. 2. If you are on the toilet, please wash your butt first. 3. Shut your mind from from the notion of realism. I will try my best to be as realistic as possible, but there's only so much I can do when someone can breathe fire from their nose. 4. Please avoid comparing it from other novels, you might end up not enjoying the book :( Got this from Kota btw. Other than that, I hope you enjoy reading :)

So, just finished reading till chapter 50, I will update this when there is more chapters and I actually read them. This is my opinion, if you think otherwise about anything I wrote here just share it, it’s always nice to hear other opinions. First of all, I read the first couple chapters a while back. Till the fifth or seventh chapter I didn’t really liked the start and yesterday I was a bit bored and decided to continue and see if this is any good (that was a good decision lol). I read a couple more chapters till 12-14 and I was starting to get into it, a couple more chapters and I was totally into it. I spent all my time reading this today and I regret none of it. Once you get over the first ~10 chapters it really gets better, the pace is not too slow or too fast, the only problems would be that the chapters are a bit short and that you don’t exactly know how strong the main character actually is. Although I really liked the story and the characters, I was always a bit lost thinking “Is he stronger than him/her?”. It would be a lot better if we knew with some sort of rank or power scale(?) how strong people are. These are the only reasons why I removed 1 star in character design and world background. (I can’t say that I was a bit reluctant about removing a star from the world background, but can’t be helped) :/ I don’t know if the scale I’m talking about is actually planned or not but I would definitely love to see it and be aware if it’s a right choice from the main character to fight/run in his future encounters. Overall I think it is really good, can’t wait for more chapters!
