Chapter 1
Ben watched as everyone else was chosen except him, which was weird cause he made the highest score in System study which means he was supposed to be the first person that would have been chosen but for whatever reason Ben was omitted and was not among the top ten that was selected.
"Excuse me sir I made the highest score, why wasn't I selected?" Quiet Ben asked with pure innocence
"I'm sorry Ben you might have gotten the higher score but the upper ups call the shots here, you can stay back in the academy and keep on studying maybe one day you'll get chosen" Clone the head of the academy replied with a dangerous grin,
"Maybe you don't understand me sir, I've literally spent half of my life studying the system and this is what you tell me after 15 years?"
The teacher smirked and took domineering steps towards Ben he stopped inches away from him and stared into his eyes,
"There has been grandmasters that spent all their lives studying the system, there has been scholars that spent their lives studying the system and yet they could not get pass the nursery level, so what makes you think that a little boy like you can go on this trip just because you got the top score, I advised you don't overestimate yourself, that's exactly what killed your father"
"Stop mentioning my father's name, he's none of your business, my father was a warrior!" Ben snarked, and for the first time, the teacher was shocked, Ben has always been quiet, minding his business and never speaking to anyone,
"Wow, wow, you have finally shown your true colors!" Clone clapped tremendously
"I know you've always hated me Clone, cause you were my father's rival and could never achieve what he achieved, I know you never liked me from the first day I entered the academy!"
The angry looking Clone demon's has just been awakened, as he suddenly grabbed Ben by the neck lifting him off the ground,
"Your father was never my equal, your father was a fool who thinks he was some kind of god who's unrivalled and unparalleled but his overly smartness was what ended him, and you think I'm jealous of him?"
Ben who was struggling to break free looked Clone in the eyes
"You were jealous cause my father attained Secondary level which you couldn't"
"Ahhhhh...!" Clone angrily threw Ben across the room, every other person stood and watched and none of them spoke up for him. Ben staggered holding onto the walls as he stood up, he dragged his injured angle, took his books and stuff them inside his school bag, which he hung around his shoulder, he stood before everyone and gently bowed
"Thanks to everyone that has given me the opportunity to study in this academy, and Clone thank you for everything you've taught me so far, but I'll have to stop here, I quit the academy"
"Quiting, you know it's only this academy that can teach you everything you need to know about the system, don't act like you can enter the system on your own"
Ben stared into Clone's eyes and without blinking he said to him
"If I can't enter the system, then I'll break into the system, I must acquire the Ultimate System"
*************
The Ultimate System is said to be a powerful system that when attained one becomes blessed with unwavering and unparalleled powers which can do a lot of impossible and unimaginable things. A lot of predecessors, scholars, grandmasters and mini gods all tried to attain the ultimate system but none of them has ever succeeded, it was only Leo Avareo who was able to attain the secondary level but mysteriously he disappeared and no one has ever heard of him before, he's no other person but Ben's father.
Growing up Ben has always wanted to know what happened to his father, did he die, or did he abandon them after gaining some powers no one has an answer to that, and that is why Ben spent half of his life learning about the system, and just when it was time for him to be among the top ten that would embark on the journey of entering the Ultimate System he was opted out.
Ben who has just left the academy went back to his hometown after being away for the past fifteen years, he's finally back in Darnwick. A quiet countryside town on the outskirts of Neo Avalon, a bustling megacity. While the city runs on hologram and flying cars, Darnwick still moves on bicycle wheels and windmills, a place where time feels slower and technology hasn't become the order of the day.
As Ben nestled his way into the village, everything was still the same and nothing much has changed, he walked past an old man riding a tricycle, and respectfully waved at him, one thing about the people Darnwick is that everyone respect one another, it's a small town where practically everyone knows each other.
Ben finally made it to his neighborhood, and he was surprised to see that the old man who lived close to their house was still alive, he's known as grandpa Zack and is very popular in the neighborhood for his exceptional skill in repairing radios and spoilt wristwatches
"Grandpa Zack" Ben wave happily at him, but when he didn't get any reaction from the old man, it was then that Ben realized he has gone blind and deaf, and worse is grandpa Zack has always lived alone, which left Ben wondering how he's managing,
Ben went ahead and entered their house which was now looking abandoned, it has been left for a long time, as Ben pushed past the entrance door and got inside, everywhere was crusty and dusty, and just like yesterday memories of his childhood began to flood in,
He remembers how his father always sit on the couch in the living room drawing countless maps and making research, while his mum constantly needle out their torn clothes beside him,
As Ben made his way into his father's research room, he began to cough because of the amount of dust and spider webs every, but then something caught his attention, it was a huge map on the table where his father use to work,
As he got close to the map which was now beyond recognition, Ben gently wiped out the dusty part at the ending of the map and he saw something
Tertiary Level ( INFINITY )
Everyone has always known that to enter the Ultimate System you must conquer three stages which are
Primary stage known as Evolution Level,
Secondary stage known as Moon strike level
For the last stage which is known as TERTIARY STAGE, no one has ever attained that stage and so nobody knows what the last level is called, but why did Ben's father have it written down on his map,
"Could the last level be the Infinity level?" Ben mumbled to himself
