When Graham opened his eyes he looked around for a while but didn't see to recognize where he was. Every where was full of snow and the entire place was cold, right now he was in an open field that had greeneries all around it and the atmosphere was so refreshing so he decided to take a walk around until he figured out away to get back to the red portal planet and then back to the military school.
Just then he spotted a broken piece of glass which he picked up and decided to search for any changes on his body. Looking at his reflection he could constantly feel a flow of a blue colored energy being emitted from his left eye as the color of the eye itself was all purple with an upside down light blue heart shape in the middle.
Looking at his left arm it was silver in color and looked and felt just like a mechanic arm. Then at his palm he saw that there was no sign of a mouth or any form of abnormalities.
The minutes passed by quickly as a large man whose entire body emanated power came out to the clearing.
"Alright boys and girls, gather around!"

At these words, the mercenaries that were mostly rank A with a few rank S ones in the group all looked towards this figure with full attention.
"The mission this time is plain and simple. The Skypeak Nest is showing signs of rapid movements again, which means the beasts are increasing and getting more restless. We're not gonna spend too much time there, just clear out a few leaders and their groups before we return. I am Captain Ryner, and I'll be leading this excursion to make sure there are no deaths!"
The large man spoke out with a powerful voice that seemed to rouse the spirits of everyone here.
"After we successfully return, each person in attendance will receive 5,000 gold coins and keep any cores from the beasts they manage to take down."
Hearing this Graham decided to follow this man and his group as he could see other people appear in the clearing seemingly out of no where.
Graham followed them quietly and soon they arrived at what looked to be a large forest with tall white thick trees blocking the view, just then the commander's voice rang out again "Alright lads, the battle begins now. When you see the ugly faces of rank S beasts appear, especially the larger Leaders, be on high alert!"
After passing through the large trees that were covered by snow, ferocious looking white beasts began appearing. They had disproportionately large hands and feet with smaller bodies that didn't seem to match. This size was even more exaggerated when it came to the rank S Leader that neared 10 meters.
Sharp icicles would form at the wave of these beast's hands as the mercenaries worked together to bring them down. The leading S rank, Captain Ryner, was holding his own while standing against a Leader, his large broadsword roiling with fire elements as each clash left wounds on the beast.
Graham continued watching from the sidelines for many minutes until he totally lpst track of time just watching a group of people fight beasts until the commander spoke once again "We will stop here today. If we move any further in we will intrude in an EPIC ranked beast's territory."
At the mention of this everyone came to a halt and started heading back from where they came from, all except Graham who decided to test out some few things.
When Graham was sure they had all gone he decided to test out his current strength so he started his 'test run' the first beast he encountered was a wolf twice his height.
The wolf ran straight towards Graham with it's mouth open but as it got close it received a punch in it's mouth which sent it flying and soon enough it was killed and this was how Graham started his rampage.
After a long killing spree he decided to take a rest, but, after a while he noticed something quite odd, his injuries weren't healing at all, he didn't feel hungry, and he couldn't bring up his system.
Just then he felt dangerous and murderous killing intent and after monitoring them for a while the dangerous auras he had been feeling all this time moved.
The three Bosses that appeared varied in shape. The one standing at the forefront was a 6 meter tall [Emperor Penguin]. It had sleek black feathers on its head and back with a white-yellowish belly that shone in the light. A ferocious expression was on its face as it looked towards the figure of Graham
To the right of the [Emperor Penguin] was a large white wolf of exactly the same size. It seemed like an [Arctic Wolf] with its dangerously glowing yellow eyes and bared sharp teeth. To the left of these two was something even larger than them, a nearly 10-meter tall beast that seemed very similar to a walrus. It had powerful tusks pointing down from its mouth with an extremely ugly face that was looking at Graham angrily.
Among all of these three, the fat [Walrus] seemed to be letting out the most dangerous vibes.
Graham felt threatened and then ran towards the walrus and with an over head kick hit the walrus dead on but to his dismay it didn't affect the walrus much.
The walrus retaliated with a quick swing of its hairless flippers that condensed cold spears as they smacked into Graham's well built body.
BOOM!
The impact sent Graham to the side, where the large white wolf was waiting with its jaws spread wide open. Terrible energy was being collected in its mouth as a blue beam shot out towards Graham.
Concentrating energy in his hands Graham successfully deflected the large mass of energy in the form of a beam, when the Emperor Penguin on the ground shouted with a stern expression...and disappeared from my sight.
An alarm rang out in Graham's head as he tried his best to move my body out of harm's way as the large penguin appeared in the air. A hazy gray light was already covering its entire flipper as Graham's body couldn't avoid it in time. The light just barely grazed Graham, but it was more than enough as he felt his body disappear.
When he reappeared again, he found myself in an extremely large and dark environment with barely any light. Ancient frozen and broken structures were all around Graham, but that wasn't the point that gave him the biggest surprise. The biggest surprise was in this large environment Graham was transferred into with that attack from the [Emperor Penguin], He was not alone. Multiple auras that were in no way less powerful than ones he had just been fighting honed in at position.
