Chapter 7: SSS-rank affinity
Chapter 7 - SSS-rank affinityTwo days went by quickly as Logan immersed himself in reading, reviewing countless reports and files. Thanks to his exceptional memory, he'd managed to remember the majority of them.
'Some businesses are rather easy to understand, such as mana core processing and cave rights, but others require more in-depth re
With every second that ticked down, he got more and more nervous.
[Cooldown 00:00:05]
Then the message he'd been waiting for popped up.
[Cooldown Complete. Awaiting Input.]
Looking at the golden system screen, Logan's smile widened.
'It's time,' he thought.
"System, redeem one billion USD."
[Redeeming one billion USD....]
Seconds ticked by with the same screen stuck in front of his eyes.
Logan stared intensely at the screen, even starting to sweat as he hoped for something amazing.
The longer it took, the more nervous he got.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Your F-rank fire affinity evolved into an SSS-rank phoenix flame affinity.]
Logan stared at the screen, holding his breath as his mind went blank.
That's when it began.
Logan felt intense heat inside his chest, forcing him to clutch it as he slumped forward.
Deep inside him, the yellow swirling mass changed to a fierce red color as it expanded. Growing larger and larger, vast amounts of energy rushed through Logan's body, even cracking his core from the sheer pressure.
Logan was in total agony, feeling as if he'd been set on fire from within.
Suddenly, he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore. It felt as if the air in his lungs had been replaced by fire. He collapsed to his knees as his veins turned crimson and his skin started glowing a deep orange.
The glass around him fogged. The books on his desk ignited. His laptop melted. Then, one by one the nearby chairs, tables and shelves collapsed into melting heaps.
For a moment, his vision completely faded.
Finally, a pressure wave shot out, shattering all the windows around him.
Then, silence.
Gasping for air, Logan looked around him with blurry eyes as a deafening alarm went off.
Raising his head, he realized fire was everywhere around him. The water falling from the sprinklers in the ceiling had absolutely no effect on the flames surrounding him.
But strangely enough, he didn't feel the heat from the flames around him.
'This might become a problem,' Logan thought, looking at the melted furniture and broken windows around him.
Seconds later, Logan heard a loud bang behind him.
Turning around, he watched Silas charge in—behind him, Edric and multiple other people wearing security uniforms.
