YM778.TV Chapter 2: Radioactive System Awakening
At the same time, he felt an incredible surge of energy, but there was also an overwhelming fury boiling inside him.
It was as if Volk\'s anger was like a wildfire, consuming him entirely.
He felt an irrational, overwhelming rage towards everything around him, like even the sound of the insects around him makes him irritated.
He could feel his breath come in short, furious bursts, along with his chest heaving.
Volk could see the earth moles, those venomous creatures, were scurrying back to their hiding spots, and he calmed down a little.
"Huh?"
For some reason, his view of them changed; they looked like rats, but earlier he was sure they the size of cows. It was baffling.
"Why do I feel different?" Volk muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a system screen appeared before his eyes, displaying a message:
| Ding!
| You have awakened the Invincible and Strongest Radioactive System!
| A life-saving system that activates at the brink of death or when the host is in full-fledged rage! |
Volk\'s head immediately went numb. He finally understood what was happening.
A radioactive system?
What did that even mean?
His began to recall something that was in his past life, recalling a green, massive creature from superhero movies that transformed when it got angry.
"Am I like that?"
Volk asked himself, feeling incredibly bewildered.
Cutting off his stupor, another message appeared on the system screen:
| Ding!
| Invincible Radioactive Mode!
| Status: On.
| Duration: One minute and fifty-four seconds! |
Volk paused, staring at the time limit.
"What?! How come it\'s limited!?!"
But then he shrugged off the worry.
"Doesn\'t matter. I am invincible in this state."
He laughed internally but externally, his body moved with raw, monstrous power, as if his movements caused the air around his muscles to be sucked to his muscular aura.
Unconsciously, he roared again, sending shockwaves that echoed through the whole forest.
"ROOAAARRRR!!!"
As he roared, something landed on him with a hiss. "Psssh!" His massive body felt a little scratchy but annoying sensation where it had landed. He looked down at his chest, then turned to see where it came from.
Each movement, each action, seems to make the wind explode in an unseen destruction.
"Grraargh," he growled, scanning his surroundings.
Suddenly, he spotted the venomous earth moles.
"YOU LITTLE SPOUTIES MAKING VOLK ANGRY!" he bellowed, as if the words were spilling out unconsciously. But at the same time, in his head, he meant every word, and along with his anger boiling over.
He didn\'t know why he talked like that, it felt so good and natural, like he didn\'t care about anything but his rage!
Again, he was hit by more of the mole rats\' spits, \'Pak!\', \'Pak!\' ,\'Pak!\' each impact making him flinch and growl.
"Grrr... rrrgghh!"
Making his rage intensified with every hit. He felt small hot venom burning into his skin, that led to fueling his fury even more.
"Graaagh! Arrrghh!"
He glared at the earth moles peeking from their underground hideouts, the ones likely spitting on him.
"VOLK WILL KILL ALL YOU LITTLE SPOUTIES!!" he roared, with his voice a thunder clapping of pure rage.
Volk charged at the creatures, but they were too quick, diving back into their holes before he could catch them.
His frustration mounted as he repeatedly slammed into the ground, making his massive form cause the earth to tremble.
He began to think of digging them up, but he had better ideas.
"Grrraaa... rrrggghhh!" he growled each time he missed.
"VOOOOLLLlKK!!!"
Volk raised his massive arms, ignoring the spits that made him flinch with each hit. And immediately, he brought his fists down with a force that shook the ground.
"SMAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!" he roared.
His fists slammed into the ground, creating a dent and sending cracks spreading through the forest floor.
The earth trembled under the sheer force of his blow along with the wind explosion and a shockwave that instantly spread to the ground and the forest, and then it became silent again.
Not long, one by one, the venomous earth moles began to surface, but with their bodies convulsing before they fell still.
"Kaaahh!!"
Is the sound they would make once the life out of their bodies slowly disappears.
Volk stood there, breathing heavily, his body trembling with residual anger and adrenaline.
The ground around him was a mess of cracks and upheaved soil.
The forest was silent, save for the sound of his heavy breathing.
Suddenly, another system screen would appear.
| Ding!
| The host has borrowed the power of rage, making the host twice stronger, faster and bigger.
| Time Deduction: Thirty-seconds.
| Current time duration: One minute and two seconds. |
Volk was taken aback, the angrier he got, the stronger he became. But the duration of that form would get shorter.
What if he got even angrier to the point he strengthened himself a lot?
Isn\'t that the same thing as being a radioactive titan for a few seconds?
He looked around, taking in the sight of the dead earth moles. He still felt incredulous. His rage had given him the strength to destroy them.
As the dust settled, Volk knew that his journey in this new world was just beginning.
He had awakened something powerful within him, and he would need to learn to control it. But for now, he relished in the power and the victory.
The earth moles were defeated, and he was still standing.
That was enough for now.
As long as he collects their bodies, he will have a wife on the orc tribe now.
But then, as he was basking in his thoughts.
Pak!
A wet sticky object landed on Volk\'s forehead, making him stumble a little and feel a sting of pain that came from it.
It didn\'t hurt him for real, but it annoyed him and made feel he wanted to crush someone whoever did it to him.
He looked around angrily, growling, and saw a skinless, venomous earth mole.
It was partially underground, staring at him in the shadows. It hadn\'t died!
Volk\'s growl grew louder, his anger rising. "Grrrrr!! DON\'T MAKE VOLK ANGRY, skinless SPOUTY!!!" But before he could move, pak!
The skinless venomous earth mole spit on his face again.
With a groan, Volk wiped the stinging spit off his face, feeling the burn. Immediately his expression turned even more sour.
"ROOOAAARRR!!"
Volk roared, with his quaking voice that shook the trees.
The creature, sensing his aggression, hid further underground.
This made Volk even madder.
With an aggressive jump, his hulking body dove to its hiding spot and began digging furiously.
Crack!
Crack!
The ground splintered open under Volk\'s powerful hands. He dug so fast that the forest floor rumbled, creating small hills full of cracks.
Each movement made the ground quake and groan.
The skinless venomous earth mole shrieked in panic below, frantically running through the tunnels.
Volk\'s anger grew with each escape attempt the mole made.
"Grrrrr... rrrrggghh!" he growled, feeling the creature slipping away from him.
He dug deeper and faster, his powerful hands tearing through the earth.
The forest floor continued to crack and rumble, the disturbance growing larger and longer.
"Roooarrr... grrragh!" he bellowed, the sound echoing through the tunnels. He could hear the mole\'s shrieks getting louder, indicating he was getting closer.
The creature faced tunnel after tunnel, each time shrieking in panic.
"Graaargh!"
Volk\'s growl echoed through the ground as he finally caught up to the skinless venomous earth mole.
With a powerful lunge, he grabbed its neck and squeezed it. He didn\'t even feel a resistance and the mole\'s body went limp instantly.
Volk\'s breathing was heavy with heat, as his body was still trembling with rage.
He felt nothing else besides the lifeless body of the mole in his grip.
"Grrrrr," he growled, unsatisfied with the chase\'s end.
Not wasting his time on this dump underground, he emerged from the ground with a massive jump, breaking through the earth with a boom!
Boom!
Volk landed on a massive stone hill, the impact sending rocks and debris flying. He stood tall, his chest heaving, and roared once more, "ROOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!"
The sound reverberated through the forest, a declaration of his power and rage.
"VOLLLKKK IS STROOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGG!!!"
He couldn\'t believe it, in this life, he didn\'t just have a normal body, it was incredibly strong too!
Not far from there, a shadowy figure of an orc with a weapon looked up at the sky in the direction of the roar.
The sound was unmistakable, a sign that something immense and powerful was nearby.
The orc squinted, gripping its weapon tightly, and started moving towards the source of the roar, ready to face whatever had caused such a mighty sound.
