Side): Lowell McClain was drenched in blood and sweat, but he stood tall, staring at the monstrous creature before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice his size with enormous claws, it was the same species that had attacked Rupert, the leader of the Blood Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it has the strength equal to the Silver Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmer of black bolts danced across Lowell’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was grim as he alternated his gaze between the monster and the space crack hovering above its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was determined to eliminate the creature before addressing the fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A screech shattered the tense silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque green monster lunged, vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell remained vigilant, unsheathing his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift motion, the monster reappeared above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell swung his sword, the silver blade clashing against the monster’s claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, black lightning erupted from the sword, striking the creature with electrifying force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was hurled backward, crashing to the ground, paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Lowell moved in for the killing blow, slicing through the monster’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head rolled to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn’t relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he approached the space crack, ready to confront whatever emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His battered condition was a testament to the relentless onslaught of these creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came in waves, testing his limits at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, space cracks were abruptly forming across multiple boundaries within the inner post region, catching major organizations off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver Mark Warriors were immediately deployed to contain the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some critical cases, force leaders personally intervened due to the overwhelming strength of certain monsters, some matching the power of Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Academy Institutions contributed by sending their Silver Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the incident was kept under wraps to prevent widespread panic among the inner post region’s population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaders within the region believed the root cause was a serious breach at the Tier-4 Boundaries, typically guarded by universities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They theorized that the universities were overwhelmed, preventing them from protecting the Tier-5 Boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the divided Outerpost regions, the Tier-5 Boundary housing the inner post region boasted a massive population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breach here could have catastrophic consequences for humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC’s Perspective: After a few hours of practice, I left the underground training chamber and returned to the surface for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan was waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t see the teacher yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of confusion flickered in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was bothering me, but I couldn’t pinpoint the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt related to the teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan was setting the table as the maids brought in the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually glanced at me and noticed something was wrong with my expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” Jonathan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around as the maids entered to serve the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a seat, I sat opposite Jonathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids carefully placed the dishes on the table before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Jonathan, I asked, “What happened to the teacher?” Jonathan’s eyes flickered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the answer but couldn’t reveal that their boundaries were under attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monsters equivalent to Silver Mark Warriors were currently assaulting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even heard rumors that leaders from top organizations were personally guarding the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should have been at the frontline, but his Black Mark Warrior strength was like paper against these monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jonathan?” I called out his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, he went on an important mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know about Master’s mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his missions are confidential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think Silver Mark Warriors would do ordinary missions?” he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the gravity of the situation, I realized the dangers involved in these missions could endanger his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could possibly pose such a threat to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remembered an important conversation with Uncle James back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had revealed a secret about my birth parents and how I was adopted by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d also mentioned that our world was involved in a kind of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, I hadn’t paid attention to the wars, preoccupied by my parents’ unfortunate demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the inner post, I’d completely forgotten about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I’d chosen to ignore the outer post region altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, hearing that Teacher Lowell had also gone on an important mission, I suspected a connection to the ongoing war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strange that nobody here talked about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the digital and print media were silent on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone seemed focused on the rat race: who would become the Black Mark Warrior first and who would reach the Tier-4 Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold shiver ran down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan observed Zack’s expression while eating, troubled by keeping secrets from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack’s rank wasn’t high enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he had waited before becoming a Black Mark Warrior to learn the truth about the world from his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining that knowledge, he’d realized the people in Tier-4 regions were true guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was glad Zack was inquiring, but seeing Zack’s lack of appetite, Jonathan sighed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, stop worrying so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t do anything with your current strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better to focus on breaking through,” Jonathan said indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earlier, I thought you were progressing too quickly without sufficient accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after reaching Black Mark Warrior can you live without worry,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jonathan’s words, I was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His advice seemed to confirm my suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So my life would be in danger if I don’t become a Black Mark Warrior,” I thought to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jonathan was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, I must focus on improving myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already taken one step closer to my goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining Star University would accelerate my path to becoming a Black Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was crucial, even more so than impressing Jonathan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What neither my Master nor Jonathan knew was that I would die if I didn’t reach Black Mark Warrior within a certain timeframe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body needed to handle the drop of ancient blood hidden within me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each breakthrough, not only did my rank increase, but my body grew stronger as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was largely due to my cultivation method, but the ancient blood also played a significant role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused on eating my food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, lunch finished, I decided to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan’s words had made me realize the importance of not wasting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan wasn’t surprised by my decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left for me to do there, and he anticipated a barrage of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, I left Lowell Castle and returned to the Teleportation Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the guards had time to chat with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief conversation, I stepped onto the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I activated the server and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes, I was back in the HQ region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a nod to the guards, I headed towards the HQ building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the building, a tense atmosphere enveloped me, far more intense than what I’d felt at Lowell Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Federation members coming and going wore solemn expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I considered asking what was happening, but decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would answer me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking my head, I entered the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I returned to my floor and went to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, I changed into practice clothes and re-entered the essence chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was determined to reach the barrier as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and the space cracks in some boundaries began to expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Increasing numbers of monsters poured through the fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this new wave of monsters was roughly equivalent in strength to Black Mark Warriors, offering the leaders some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To combat these creatures, organizations began summoning their Black Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the Federation’s boundaries faced the same crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Federation Head Ben ordered all Black Mark Warriors to their respective barriers to repel the invading monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike some other organizations, the Federation was relatively fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their boundaries had not yet experienced the intrusion of Gold Mark Warrior-level monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ben remained vigilant, prepared for anything, including a potential Gold Mark Warrior attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was puzzled by the lack of communication from Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invasion of their boundaries indicated that the Tier-4 Region was not as safe as previously thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped they could resolve the situation quickly to alleviate the burden on the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zack Lockwood came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the unusual eagerness of Star University to accept Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he began to understand their haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he hesitated to voice his suspicions, he believed the death toll on their side must have been significant, necessitating a rapid influx of new, powerful warriors capable of surpassing the Silver Mark level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, contemplating Zack Lockwood’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack’s generation would face unprecedented challenges compared to theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed it best to withhold the truth about the war for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Zack joined the University, he would eventually learn the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until then, he had to protect him from harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a possibility of the Blood Shadow Force exploiting the chaos to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
