Eye System

After a day and night's rest, he felt full of vigour and was ready to head out once again.

Leaving his room, he headed straight towards the exit but before he could leave.

"All Earth levellers are supposed to assemble at the fortress centre!" declares a familiar voice through the speaker.

Apprehending this, he makes his way towards the fortress centre.

As Lex walked towards the centre, the other people in his year were laughing and ridiculing him, believing that he was an idiot who as soon as went out was beaten almost to death, but little did they know he was now LVL 11.

If someone heard that he levelled up 6 LVLs in a day everyone would be shocked. It was nearly impossible for that to occur as you would need top tier body talent and yet still need lots of beast cores and beast meats.

Those with a high talent naturally LVL up as their body grows, however it stops at the age of 14 where you are mostly grown, can hunt and are ready-to-use beast cores.

So, therefore the LVL you are under the age of 14 measures your talent, however, the pills from the system were heaven-defying and allowed him to break past the norm.

Everyone crowded around Ella, who stood on a small and high stage in the base centre mesmerising all her viewers with her chivalrous beauty.

"As you know, although we are in the Birth planet of the human race, it is still the weakest planet run by humans.

To explain the situation, we currently have 5 planets belonging to humanity: Earth, Aria, Rona, Gama, and Oswal.

All planets also have their portals and bases in the Mortal Beast Dimension, which are the surrounding bases, and all bases try to compete and as the underdogs, we must prove ourselves, so we have decided that we will all be traveling and hunting in groups that have been selected and grouped randomly," she announced.

Digesting what she said, Lex had a rough idea of the current state of humanity and the rivalry between them was only slowing down their evolution and was causing senseless battle and slaughter.

Ella announces the groups, reading it off a long list "Group 1: Mat Jonas, James Indra, and Emily Green, ..." after nearly ten minutes of declaring teams going through thousands of names, she was finally reaching the end.

Despite earth's population in the tens of billions, which could be held as the earth was artificially covered in solid ground, only thousands were worthy and capable of entering the Mortal Beast Dimension through the Central High School that had high standards.

After the age of 25 you are no longer eligible for the Mortal Dimension and you either ascend to the next dimension or can no longer eligible to enter any dimensions, which was another factor of why only thousands of people were there.

Finally, he heard his name but what he didn't expect, "Group 2754: Lex Luther and Ella Collin" she announced as she jumped off the stage.

Hearing this he was shocked and frozen in a daze, while all the others were bewildered, confused, jealous, and angry.

"How come he gets to team up with the goddess", "He dares group up with the goddess", "That lucky trash".

As everyone was staring at Lex with bloodshot eyes like a hungry pack of wolves wanting to rip him into shreds, he was still in a daze, until he felt a gentle tap on the shoulder.

"Let's head out" cutely says, Ella.

Turning around, he looks at her with shock and a bit of coldness in his eyes.

Seeing this she cutely pouts "Weren't you going hunting anyway, now I want to go, let's go!".

Snapping out of it, remembering that he was there for power, he calmed down, but still felt flustered and nervous when standing next to such a beautiful girl.

"Let's go, we are going to the rainforest ecosystem" he slightly angrily remarks as he turned around and began to leave the base.

Giddily she jumps behind him as she catches up and walks out with Lex happily, with a massive smile causing even more hatred from the males in the base.

The angriest out of them all the base's deputy leader Jaydan Wilkes who was LVL 90 and was from the rich and powerful Wilkes family and was currently trying to woo Ella.

Walking out with Ella by his side he was furious, but quite happy at the same time and couldn't be angry at such a beautiful girl.

"So, why are you trying to get close to me," he asks curiously.

"Hmmmmm, because you are interesting and because...I feel a connection with you, and your fate is a bit special" she replies thoughtfully.

"Do you an ability with fate or something? And even if I have a special fate, that won't be enough for you to get close to me " he exclaims in surprise.

Seeing this she giggles cutely, "I am Ella Collin, an orphan just like you, I don't have any family to support me and relied on myself to make it here today,." she replies losing all immaturity she previously had and became completely serious.

Reciprocating the seriousness, "I may be very similar to you and we may have had the same lifestyle and ideals but there is still too much about you that I don't know" he replies trying to draw more information.

"What do you want to know, " she asks nonchalantly, showing she had nothing to hide.

"Your exact age, talent, and why you know so much about me, " he asks getting the main points she missed out forwards.

"I am 14 and 1 month, so a month younger than you, and I was allowed in by the principal, who helped me fake my age. My talent is measured at SSS but then shatters talent measuring crystals when I check-in private, so I assume I surpass a level we can measure and I done research on you the day you came here as I just felt that we were the same" she states with complete honesty.

Using his Scouting Eye to regulate her body as she said this, from what he could see from her body staying completely stabilised, Lex assumed she was completely telling the truth.

However, he still wasn't completely sure, but for the time being took it as the truth, without another option.

"You are beautiful and talented and also have a good background with the principal behind you, so what do you want from me, " he asked curiously wanting to know what he had to offer to such a goddess.

Hearing this she smiled flattered, but as she looked closer into his eyes, she did not see him waver in the slightest, and despite what he heard he was still calm and not fazed in the slightest which was just as she expected.

"Don't play stupid, from the way you reacted you were unfazed, so either you have the same or even more potential and many hidden abilities and secrets" she replied observantly.

"Well, you can't just assume everything without any proof, I don't honestly care what you want from me but my only goal right now is to get stronger and if you come in between of it, I don't mind leaving you behind" he stated as he gazed at her with cold bloodthirsty eyes.

Getting this reaction, she became slightly stunned, then began to cutely cutely pout as she placed her hand on her hips, "I don't have any intentions like that, We are the same flock of a bird in a way and I just want to be your friend and comrade and help each other" she stated as she lay out her hand for a handshake.

She seemed to have no ulterior motive for wanting to be friends with him, but deep-down Lex felt the same loneliness and could see it in her eyes, so Lex had no reason to decline to be comrades with such her.

"But before that, it still doesn't explain why you tried to follow me through that bird in the first place," he says glaring at her realizing that some of her answers don't align.

"Well, I have an ability that allows me to glimpse a bit destiny and fate, which allows me to know a lot about people and the way they feel without even engaging them" she replies with a bit shocked in her mind by Lex noticing the bird she used to watch him.

With all the answers he needed, he shook her hand, and declared pledging "We will help and strengthen each other as we grow and improve together and explore the wide universe...but...."

"But what?" she jumps getting frustrated by his abrupt halt in speech.

"But you have to be my girlfriend" he replies with a cheeky smile jokingly.

In this power-oriented world where levellers begin their power journey at the age of 14 and human bodies would grow and develop much faster than previously, many people would have relations and even get married by the age of 14, with their body being mostly developed.

"You!" she screams furiously as she turns around, while Lex bursts out into laughter, but was also really nervous and was beginning to regret what he said.

But what he didn't expect was for the blushing Ella to turn back around and shyly utter "I will be your girlfriend Lex" she says half-jokingly and half-testingly trying to tease him back.

On one hand, she was merely teasing him and joking with him, but on the other hand, she felt an instant connection with Lex and saw him as a genuine boy with talent yet didn't let that get to his head.

Hearing this and seeing the most beautiful girl he has ever seen grab his hand caused his heart to nearly leap out of his chest as his cheeks burnt red and he became flustered.

Looking at the state that each other were in they both burst out into laughter, and with their similarity understood each other as they continued walking towards the jungle as if nothing occurred.

Although awkward and slightly forced they both felt a connection and it gave Lex a target both strength-wise and as a pursuer, as they continued onward towards the jungle.
