The Cheat Seed

Prologue

"Here we goooo, The Historical match that everyone has been waiting for!!

3 times Champion Cypher vs Rising star Algadroo!!!"

The commentator's voice boomed through the arena, his words carrying across the sea of spectators.

Both Revokers established their presence with an undeniable gravity. The crowd erupted in a thunderous wave of acclaim.

Marcus's ears rang as the audience roared. He leaned forward, heart hammering against his ribs. His hero, his idol—Cypher—stood mere meters away.

"CYPHER!! CYPHER!!! CYPHER!!!!"

The chant rolled through the arena like thunder, thousands of voices merging into one deafening cry.

Cypher strode onto the platform, his S-rated armor gleaming under the lights, SC-rated Broadsword gripped firmly in hand. At twenty-eight, he stood as the undisputed champion, ranked first among all Revokers.

The man possessed the {Legendary Seed} of a {BERSERKER} and the {SOUL LEVEL} of a {SAINT}. His mastery extended to all melee weapons, complemented by his tank-like physique.

Despite his imposing 190cm frame and lean muscle, he moved with unnatural speed—among the fastest humans alive.

The champion raised Blood Fang, his five-foot broadsword, acknowledging the crowd. The legendary weapon, renowned for its raw power, caught the light and seemed to drink it in.

"CYPHER!!!!!"

The commentator's voice cut through the noise, somehow amplifying the already frenzied energy.

The cheers gradually subsided. Within five minutes, the crowd had spent their vocal enthusiasm. The commentator adjusted his sunglasses and pulled his microphone closer.

"Now to welcome the contender. He who has been soaring throughout the Revoker Galactic Championship..."

Silence fell.

"ALGADROO!!"

Algadro raised his hands, a book in one and a wand in the other. Reports indicated he possessed a {UNIQUE SEED} and {SOUL LEVEL DOMINATOR}. Both Mage and Summoner—one class short of becoming an Omnivoker.

His followers matched Cypher's in enthusiasm. Their chants sliced through the air.

"ALGADRO!"

"ALGADRO!"

The moment of confrontation arrived.

The referee motioned both Revokers to step onto the elevated platform. They took their positions, facing each other like lifelong rivals.

The facade quickly crumbled. Algadro extended his hand with a genuine smile, which Cypher returned as they exchanged a firm handshake. Mutual respect shone in their eyes despite the impending battle.

This was what Marcus admired most about Cypher—fame and power had never corrupted his character.

The referee raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent. Marcus pushed forward in his seat, adjusted his glasses with trembling fingers, and brushed his red bangs from his face.

The referee's hand dropped.

Chaos erupted as the crowd roared back to life. Adrenaline surged through Marcus's veins, his eyes wide with anticipation.

"RAVAGER, COME FORTH!" Algadro commanded.

A shadowy void tore through the air. A terrifying claw emerged, followed by the massive form of a Twilight Wolf. The beast stood twice Cypher's height, its muscular form covered in white fur streaked with red and blue zigzags.

Demonic energy radiated from its glowing reddish-black eyes. Blood dripped from fangs that gleamed with an eerie red light.

Marcus stared in awe. The wolf ranked second among the Demon Monarch class—living proof of Algadro's summoning prowess.

"Charge!!!"

The mage's command echoed throughout the arena, sending ripples of excitement through the crowd.

Cypher calmly sheathed his sword and beckoned the wolf with both hands—a challenge, an invitation.

The wolf moved with shocking speed for its size, but Cypher matched it. The distance between them vanished in a heartbeat.

The beast lunged, jaws open wide. Cypher caught the massive maw with both hands, holding it open with apparent ease.

The Twilight Wolf possessed one of the strongest jaw forces on the Krozon continent—capable of crushing boulders in seconds—yet Cypher held firm.

The wolf pushed forward, driving its legs into the arena floor. Cypher's feet created furrows in the ground as he slid backward, inching closer to the boundary line.

Panic rippled through the crowd.

"OH MY, What's this?? GRAAAAWL, behold this sight, my ladies and gentlemen, could this be it?!" The commentator's voice cracked with excitement. "The Familiar of Algadro, The Twilight Wolf named Ravager is pushing the reigning champion to the boundary lines!! DO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!?"

Marcus bit his nails and yelled, "Could this be it? No!! My hero won't go down like this!!!"

One meter from the boundary, Cypher planted his foot and halted. A smirk crossed his face.

"That's it, Wolfy? Just when I thought this would be exhilarating..." He chuckled. "If this is all you can do...then time's up buddy!"

With seemingly effortless strength, he pushed the wolf back toward its starting position.

The crowd erupted. Marcus leaped from his seat, no longer able to contain himself.

"YES, haha I knew it Cypher!! You can do it!!!"

Cypher's gaze swept over the crowd, landing precisely where Marcus stood. He winked.

A shiver raced down Marcus's spine.

"Did he just look at me!!??" The girl in front of him squealed, blushing.

"No i***t, it was me he was looking at. KYAAA!!!!" her friend countered.

Marcus's blood boiled. "F*CK OFF!!! It was me who he was lookin' at." He jumped up, punching the air with his fist.

Meanwhile, Cypher released the wolf's fangs. The beast lunged again, falling for the trap.

Cypher leaped, spun a full 360 degrees, and delivered a tornado kick to the wolf's lower jaw. The c***k echoed through the arena.

The massive beast crashed to the ground with a thud that shook the platform.

"ARRRRRARRRARA!"

"CYPHER!!!"

Cypher regarded the fallen creature with sympathy. "I'm sorry, but it'll live."

Algadro recalled his familiar, shoulders slumping. Now he'd have to rely on his magic skills. Despite his impressive repertoire and magical power, nervousness crept into his expression. Who wouldn't tremble facing the world champion, the strongest human alive, who stood grinning with disarming innocence?

"FIRE PULSE!"

A massive wave of flame roared toward Cypher. Algadro traced complex patterns with his wand, but his opponent remained motionless.

Cypher slicked back his wavy black hair with his right hand while his left gripped his sword's hilt. In one fluid motion, he drew Blood Fang and intercepted the fire wave.

The blade absorbed the flames—its first trump card revealed. Elemental Absorption allowed the sword to consume any elemental attack, transforming into that element's vessel.

The blade glowed red-hot, fire dancing along its edges.

"It's been fun buddy. I promise you a drink after the match."

Cypher's black eyes locked onto Algadro before he launched forward at sound-breaking speed. He dodged fire bullets with casual grace, then suddenly leaped skyward, evading another pulse.

Mid-air, he swung his sword, tearing through space itself.

"FIRE DEMON s***h!!!!!"

A wave of dark fire ripped toward Algadro, destroying everything in its path.

"ULTIMATE EARTH SHIELD!"

The ground erupted, forming a thick wall around the mage. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his body trembling with the effort and fear.

The barrier proved woefully inadequate against Cypher's attack. The wall shattered, and Algadro flew backward, crashing into the arena's far barricade.

BOOM

BANG

SILENCE

The stunned referee raised his hand toward Cypher.

For a long second, the announcer and crowd remained speechless. Then, remembering his duty, the emcee grabbed his microphone.

"AND THE WINNER IS CYPHERRRRRR!!!!!!!!"

The crowd's roar reached deafening levels as they chanted his name. Marcus's undeveloped voice joined the chorus.

Cypher sheathed his sword and rushed to his fallen opponent. He removed the debris one stone at a time until he uncovered Algadro, unconscious and bleeding from a forehead gash.

Cypher lifted him and called for medics, who arrived within a minute. After stabilizing the wound, they transported Algadro to Magus Hospital for further treatment.

The mood lightened as the arena platform was repaired. The King of Krozon Continent presented Cypher with the RGC Cup.

Cypher kissed his medal and raised his fourth championship trophy high. Marcus's eyes welled with tears of joy as the arena once again filled with the champion's name.

Marcus had witnessed greatness today. He clasped his hands together, overwhelmed by what he'd seen.

His dream—to become like his role model—suddenly felt both more distant and more urgent. With only a month left at the academy before his Awakening Test, fear mingled with his determination.

That night, Marcus G Orno slept peacefully, his fist clenched and his will hardened into an unbreakable resolve to achieve greatness.
