Chapter 70
“What on earth is this?” Jeri wondered as she brought her hands close to her face to take the system tab away from her eyes.
After lots of failed attempts, she stopped and decided to read what was written on the notification tab.
“What’s the meaning of this?” She wondered but then she suddenly found herself in a white room. Lifting her head, she saw someone familiar standing in front of her.
That was when Kevin started walking toward her.
“I know we don’t know each other but you’re the one who caused it from the beginning,” Kevin said. “If you hadn’t used that stupid spell on me, we probably wouldn’t be here together. I don’t want this but I got no choice. I want you to be my harem wife just for today, then after today, we can cancel it.”
Jeri was silent but then, she moved closer to Kevin and started speaking.
“There’s no need to cancel the harem, Triling, we are meant to be together,” Jeri said as her hands ran across his chin.
“What do you mean?” Kevin was surprised that she called him a Triling. He wondered if he misheard, so he decided to act like he didn’t understand what she said.
.....
“Why are you feigning ignorance, Kevin? You are the Triling we all have been waiting for. There’s no need to hide anything from me, I already know who you are. You’re an abandoned child because you were born as a human and not an elf.”
“How do you know this?” Kevin asked.
“Yes, I wish to be a harem wife to Kevin,” Jeri said with a smile, and the system beeped in attainment.
As soon as Jeri received the message, she found herself back in the basketball court. She immediately continued with her fighting. What happened during the time she was in the white room, she didn’t know. She only knew that the third opponent she had been fighting was still the same person she was fighting.
As for Kevin, he was transported back to the shadow void and was having the most painful experience of his life. The cells of his body were evolving into something different from before.
After about five minutes, the pain stopped and Kevin was eased from the body ache and headache that was worrying him. He fluttered his eyes open and took a glance at his body. Although he couldn’t see anything because the room was dark, he was able to see the aura of his body glowing so widely than he had ever seen before.
“System, what’s happening?”
“Kevin, I would like to congratulate you for successfully having a renewed mutant cell. You are now able to block any kind of spell, magic, or attack from anyone. Nothing will be able to pierce into your skin unless it is greater than the level of your cells” the system said.
“Are you for real? It is like having a god-like body.”
“You have the power of the gods but you are yet to harness the power, I only helped activate your mutant cells, the godlike powers you have made it stronger.”
“Then what should I do to be able to harness these godlike powers?” Kevin asked.
“You need the fifty Triling rings, and you need to get to level fifty.”
“It sure ain’t an easy job. I’ll do whatever it takes to get those two things. I love the taste of the new me, I think I’m getting power-hungry little by little. But I know I’m doing it for a good cause.”
“Time to see what this new body can do.” Kevin grinned as he canceled the shadow void. But as he saw Jeri, he recalled what she said about him being the forbidden child. He couldn’t explain how he was feeling at the moment. He was angry and still confused.
Finally, Jeri has defeated the third opponent but many others have started running toward her.
“Don’t you guys get tired of fighting me all over and over again?” Jeri complained.
Emerging out of the shadows, Kevin stood in front of Jeri.
“You’ve done enough girl, I’ll get rid of them now,” Kevin said as he looked around him. Five elves were standing in front of him excluding Matt and his three men.
“You shouldn’t have mercy on people like this. They all deserve to die.” Kevin said to Jeri.
“I so much like the sound of that. They are all going to hell!” The two students dashed as the men, killing every one of them crossing their paths.
Kevin grabbed two elves by the neck at the same time, sending sparks of lightning into their bodies, taking the life out of them. That was when Kevin noticed his huge arm muscles. He had gotten stronger than before and his stature had increased slightly.
‘ That is the work of increasing the mutant cells in your body.’ The system said boastfully.
Within a jiffy, the five elves had been gotten rid of. The only ones remaining are the four main bodies who had been watching them fight all day.
“Jeri, can you see the golden rings in their hands? I need to take it from them, so whoever you fight, make sure to take the ring from them.” Kevin instructed.
“The Triling ring right? Don’t worry, I’ll get it all for you.” Jeri said walking towards the elves.
“How come she knows everything about me?” Kevin wondered.
Just at that moment, before Jeri could reach the elves, Lexa suddenly appeared out of the shadows and was now standing in front of Jeri, blocking her path.
“Lexa what are you doing here?” Kevin asked but then he spotted someone approaching the girls from behind, it was an elf and in the elf’s hand was a sword that has been possessed by an evil spell.
