Journey in the Ascending Muendo
"Reikar's Dark Transformation – The Birth of a Monster"
The room was silent.
The entire Ascending Muendo stood in shock, still processing the impossible news.
Reikar had just achieved in two weeks what others took 100 million years to reach.
Then—
A sound.
A laugh.
Low at first. Then louder. Then unhinged.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Reikar tilted his head back, his body trembling with laughter. His expression twisted into something unnatural, terrifying.
He stared at the entire army, his sharp eyes glowing with untamed power.
Then he spoke.
"WHAT NOW? HUH?! NO WORDS?"
His voice echoed, dripping with arrogance and madness.
The Chaotic Elite froze.
Even the most powerful soldiers shifted uncomfortably.
Ash's eye twitched. "...This guy…"
One of the soldiers whispered, "What the hell happened to him?"
Another gritted his teeth, "Tch… He's getting cocky."
Reikar spread his arms wide, looking at all of them like insects beneath him.
"What happened to all that trash talk?! You mocked me, humiliated me, called me weak—AND NOW LOOK!"
He stepped forward, the ground cracking beneath him.
"SPEAK, DAMN IT! SAY SOMETHING!"
No one did.
Because for the first time—they felt fear.
Not fear of his strength.
Fear of what he was becoming.
Ash finally snapped.
"Tch… ENOUGH!"
With a burst of energy, Ash appeared right in front of Reikar, grabbing his collar.
"You think you're untouchable now?! You're just a damn rookie! You think two weeks makes you better than us?"
Reikar didn't react.
Instead, his grin grew wider.
His body trembled—not in fear, but in pure, unhinged excitement.
Then, he whispered.
"Try me."
Ash clenched his fist, ready to punch him across the face—
But before he could—
"ENOUGH."
A chilling voice froze the entire room.
AB18.
He stepped forward, his presence alone forcing everyone to lower their heads.
His sharp eyes locked onto Reikar.
Then—he smirked.
"Good. That's the attitude I want."
Reikar's wild grin slowly faded.
AB18 continued, "But let me make one thing clear."****"You're strong, but you're nothing yet."
His voice darkened.
"Keep your arrogance in check, or I'll break you myself."
The air grew heavy.
Reikar stared at AB18 for a long moment.
Then, surprisingly—
He laughed again.
"AHAHAHAHAHA! Fine, fine! I'll behave… for now."
Ash sighed, stepping away. "This guy is gonna be a pain in the ass."
The Chaotic Elite muttered amongst themselves, still irritated.
But one thing was clear—
Reikar had changed.
Not just physically.
Something inside him had snapped.
And nobody knew whether that was a good thing… or a terrifying mistake.

What happens next? Does Reikar's arrogance lead to disaster? Or does he finally gain control of his newfound power?
""Reikar's Fall – The Beast in Chains""
The moment Reikar's fist connected with Ash's chest, the air shattered.
A single thunderous blow.
The force was inhuman.
Ash's body was sent flying, crashing into the walls of the arena with a sickening crack.
Silence.
The Chaotic Elite's eyes widened in horror.
"H-He… almost killed him…"
Ash coughed, blood dripping from his lips. His vision blurred. He couldn't even move.
Then—
"YOU BASTARD!"
The entire Chaotic Elite charged at Reikar.
A dozen of the strongest warriors in Ascending Muendo, their power enough to shake mountains.
But Reikar—he didn't care.
His smile grew wider, his body trembling with excitement.
"COME AT ME, THEN!"
His aura exploded, sending a massive shockwave across the battlefield.
He rushed forward.
Fists clashed. Energy burst. Bones cracked. Screams echoed.
But then—
A massive shadow loomed over them all.
BOOM!
A monstrous force struck the ground, breaking the battlefield apart.
Everyone froze.
Standing there, his presence overwhelming, was Kaido—The Strongest in the Elite.
His golden eyes glowed, filled with fury.
His voice was calm, but terrifying.
"That's enough."
In a blink, Kaido moved.
A single strike.
Faster than light—Reikar couldn't react.
BAM!
Reikar crashed into the ground, his entire body pinned under Kaido's strength.
For the first time… Reikar struggled to move.
Then—
"ENOUGH!"
AB18's furious voice thundered across the battlefield.
The air grew cold.
The energy in the arena died instantly.
Everyone, including Kaido, lowered their heads.
AB18 stepped forward, his eyes glowing dangerously.
"Take him to prison."
The words echoed.
The entire army gasped.
"NO! PLEASE—!"
Even the ones who had mocked Reikar begged for mercy.
"Give him another chance!"
"He just lost control—!"
"DON'T DO THIS!"
But AB18's face was stone.
His voice was final.
"Nobody fights our own people out here, OKAY?!"
"TORTURE TREATMENT. LOCK HIM AWAY."
The soldiers hesitated.
Then, slowly, they dragged Reikar away.
His body was bruised, his breath heavy.
Yet—
He was laughing.
Soft at first.
Then louder.
"Hehehe…"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!"
Even as they shackled his hands.
Even as they threw him into the darkest, deepest prison of Ascending Muendo.
He kept laughing.
His voice echoed in the darkness.
His mind raced with a single thought.
"They think this will break me?"
His grin grew wider.
"No… This is only the beginning."

Will Reikar break under torture? Or will this prison only make him stronger?
"Reikar's Awakening – The Unbreakable Warrior"
Pain.
Agony.
Endless suffering.
That was Reikar's reality for what felt like eternities.
He was beaten, burned, crushed, drowned, starved—every form of torture the strongest warriors could think of.
But he never screamed.
He never begged.
And most terrifying of all…
He never broke.
Day after day, he endured.
Night after night, he grew.
His body adapted.
His mind sharpened.
He learned to control his rage.
He learned to harness his power.
He learned to become something more.
And when the torture finally stopped…
When he was finally dragged out of the abyss of pain…
He stood taller.
He stood stronger.
Even AB08, the terrifying Second-in-Command, was left speechless.
"Impossible…"
"He's… better. Stronger. Smarter."
The once reckless beast had transformed into a calm, controlled monster.
And then—
AB18 walked forward.
His face, unreadable.
His golden eyes, locked onto Reikar's.
Silence filled the air.
Then—
AB18 smiled.
A rare, genuine smile.
"You learned your lesson."
Reikar nodded.
And in that moment—
AB18 made his decision.
"Promote him to Averages."
The entire army gasped.
The Chaotic Elite froze.
Even AB08's eyes widened.
Reikar… was no longer the weakest.
He had officially become an Average Soldier.
Even though he was the weakest in the Averages, it didn't matter.
Because he did in mere weeks what took others millions of years.
The soldiers whispered.
"He's a monster…"
"He survived the worst torture and came out stronger?"
"No way—"
But soon, whispers turned to cheers.
His old rivals…
His former enemies…
Even those who once mocked him…
Now admired him.
The army started loving him.
Everyone… except the Chaotic Elite.
They stood in silence.
Their eyes filled with fury.
Their pride shattered.
And as Reikar stood there, his new armor gleaming in the light…
He turned to face them.
His smile was calm.
His eyes, sharp.
And he Spoke out to all the people.
Reikar's Oath – The Path to Supremacy
Silence.
The entire battlefield held its breath.
Then—
Reikar raised his head, his aura radiating a newfound strength, his voice steady and unshaken.
"I'm here to surpass the strongest…
The most powerful…
And I WILL do it."
His golden eyes locked onto every warrior in the arena.
"But I will never betray my people."
The moment those words left his lips—
The entire army erupted.
A thunderous applause.
Cheers shook the very ground.
Even warriors stronger than Reikar—those who once looked down on him—now smiled.
They respected him.
They recognized him.
For the first time, he wasn't just the reckless fighter.
He was something more.
But—
Not everyone celebrated.
The Chaotic Elite stood frozen, their faces twisted in jealousy and rage.
Their pride burned.
Their hatred grew.
Yet—deep down, even they knew.
Reikar was no longer beneath them.
He was rising.
And soon—
They would be the ones beneath him....
What happens next?...we'll see in next chapter.
