“5 new sites?! Just for rapid-drying concrete?!” Aven exaggeratedly backed up, though it wasn’t completely an act.
“Yes!” Bhanas continued to expound on the subject in a very animated manner, “And it was approved just because we already have all the base materials and large-scale industrial machines producti...
2022-04-24 13:55:41 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing his stop at a certain area in the industrial zone, an hour had been enough for the raid to be over, wrapped up, and for the transport truck to get moving again with the same 7 people, none of them showing any indication of being hurt.
With his energy not being in its downtime period due to having been interrup...

“So… Is there a reason you didn't go to a super academy? I can’t see anything you would gain by joining the military with your talents. Is your innate ability maybe unsuited for it?” Dubious about how this just g...
2022-04-24 13:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the “forcefully elevated product quality” tech system revelation, a few hours had passed and the hangar started to come alive as students started filling in to get free practical experiences that would help them in their relatively imminent exam.
On Aven’s side, he and Harald had gone through most of the basi...
2022-04-19 17:52:12 +0000 UTC View PostWith a simple remote button press, music started playing. When he opened his fridge, a few meals were already prepared, and when he brought his blanket and pillow, they had taken on his smell.
All those little details allowed Aven to think about how far he had come in this single month, as well as the few regrets he had...
2022-04-19 17:52:00 +0000 UTC View Post“So, how did it go?” A familiar voice interrupted Aven’s thoughts, prompting him to look at the source.
“Oh, hello Kern~” Smiling politely at his half-friend, he pieced together the best possible reply to the question he had just been asked, “Look at my score. Action speaks louder than words.”
Going ...
2022-04-19 17:51:48 +0000 UTC View Post“Hello, my fellow supers!” Passing through the last door separating him from the core computing hall of the research area, Aven loudly announced his arrival, “Congratulate me as I have reached 20 energy cultivation points!”
His hyper-enthusiastic social persona wasn’t as fake as many would believe it to be. Hi...
2022-04-19 17:51:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe White had long set by the time Aven had returned to his apartment and started preparing his dinner while listening to yet another documentary about a tech super who impacted his own field in his own way.

2022-04-19 17:50:55 +0000 UTC View PostReturning from the library after applying for the 3 different “jobs” he had chosen, he had of course made sure to phrase his application resume as correctly as he could to end up properly transmitting the fact that he didn’t want pay but still wanted to work like any other.
Adding a few more details like being a t...
2022-04-19 17:50:41 +0000 UTC View PostAfter going through all the first-year courses for every faculty, Aven didn’t move on to the next quest but started to search for details about what all those courses were about.
Only once he took a photo of each course’s detailed description for later comparison and optimization, as well as general pictures of all ...
2022-04-19 17:50:29 +0000 UTC View Post“Hahaha! Tech energy infusion is so amazing!” Pushing the gas pedal as much as he could, Sen could feel much more clearly than Aven how the energy reinforcing the car had nearly transformed it into a race car.
“Hehe, if I knew all the ins and outs of an internal combustion engine, we’d have probably appeared on ...
2022-04-19 17:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe pile of documents wasn’t even coming close to the one he had to go through when he became a super, so Aven didn’t react in any way when it landed in front of him and he was asked whether he wanted the long or short version.
“I think the long version would be preferable?” He hesitatingly replied.
“Wel...

The quests were only there to quantify the contributions he made to his own faction, but while making contributions was important, wasn’t the ability of cashing in these same contributions more important?
So he opened the second function he had gained by reaching...
2022-04-19 17:49:33 +0000 UTC View PostDriving back home with his bike, he pedaled through the heavy rush hour traffic and didn’t even stop one time to buy something or take a break. His energy was endless, and the adrenaline from having been officially initiated into the world of the supers coursed through him.
In his backpack, he also had a small book de...
2022-04-19 17:49:17 +0000 UTC View PostRiding out of the underground parking lot of his building on his bike, Aven had put on music on his headphones and was ready to navigate the street of Serenis until he arrived at his destination.

2022-04-19 17:49:05 +0000 UTC View PostFeeling the van he was in brake furiously, Aven grabbed a conveniently placed handle. It was the first time he had felt the van come to a stop since he got inside, so it probably meant they had reached their intended destination.
Confirming his deduction, the van’s back double doors were opened after a moment and the ...
2022-04-19 17:48:53 +0000 UTC View PostSynopsis:
While studying for his next upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start changing, as if warping.
It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, then quickly escalated into his whole world becoming a mess of flickering pixels and chaotic colors, as if reality had beco...

A few minutes later, the shuttle departed again. Its next stop would be the 2 500g exit stop.

They seemed to have truly and simply hijacked his restaurant tour, doing with it as they wanted, even r...

He was also aware that for him to completely understand his own growth mastery, he would need much more than 5 small rocks emulating a n...
2022-04-10 10:16:33 +0000 UTC View PostTrying to hide his smile as he retold a story he had already disclosed a few times, Rune used his small talent as a storyteller to create colored and intent-infused energy models to animate parts of his moderately dangerous encounter with a bone golem, guardian of the city of Tolevia.
He didn’t attempt to enact the ex...
