God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

The height of the cave was quite less, but Keith could still crawl inside if he wanted to. The entrance was also hidden pretty well, thanks to various vines, leaves and a few medium sized stones. While he could crawl inside, he didn't bother doing it at all.

Instead, he put his index finger to his lips and motioned the others to keep quiet while he grabbed a few dry and wet sticks before stacking them on top of each other, into a pile. He then grabbed a few specific leaves and stuffed them in between the sticks before he used his magnifying glass to light up a fire.

It took two minutes, but it worked. The dry sticks caught fire while the wet sticks produced smoke. Keith took off his shirt and gently waved it in front of the fire, sending the smoke into the cave. He continued doing this until he heard a rough cough from inside the cave and smiled.

'Yes, you use laxatives. I'll poison you with hallucinogens and make your life miserable for the next few minutes with carbon dioxide.' he thought, the smile on his face transforming into a smirk.

Minutes passed and the frequency of the coughs just increased until Keith heard sounds of buttons scratching against stone.

"Oh you're coming out, Clark? Do you really think that I'll let you out? Not after you tried to steal from me Clark, not after you tried to steal from me." he said as he looked at Nathan, "Come here and smack him with your shield if he tries to crawl out."

Clark didn't stop and tried to crawl out even after Keith warned him. His arm was the first thing that came out and in reaction to that, Nathan brought down his shield, immediately braking the fingers.

"Ooof... that was harsh..." Keith said, wincing in pain for Clark but he didn't have any intention to stop. Little did he know, that Clark was a mental guy, someone whose insanity Keith wished to have.

Clark's head popped out next and Nathan paused, not knowing that to do since heavy injuries were forbidden. Keith stared at Clark, who was smirking at him but he simply smiled instead of feeling cornered like Nathan felt.

"You thought you were smart huh?" he said and grabbed a medium sized log that was still burning. The end that wasn't burning was the place that he grabbed as he looked down at Clark.

"Three seconds. Go back inside and suffer until someone comes to take you away, or you can try to crawl out even more and the moment you do, this thing will come down at your head without any hesitation." he said, staring at Clark with a playful smile, challenging him to crawl out.

Clark stared at Keith, trying to see if he was just putting up a false front of whether he was being serious. But even after he stared for two whole seconds, he wasn't able to tell what was going on behind Keith's eyes.

As someone who always took risks, he instinctively pushed himself outwards by a few centimeters when he saw the red and grey part of the stick fly towards his face.

Your journey continues on empire

With a light crack, the burning part of the stick broke into three pieces, flying in different directions.

Clark had been hit hard, and he had also crawled back inside hastily but Keith noticed something. It was the lack of any burns on Clark's face.

With a slight frown, he grabbed another stick that was similar to the one he had used previously, a branch of a dead tree which was very brittle. He extended his left arm forward and brought down the burning stick.

It cracked and fell to the ground after it hit Keith's left arm but other than his arm hair getting burnt, there was barely any burn marks. He did feel the heat, but it wasn't much and the only pain he felt was from the impact of of the blow.

"Hmm... I wanna experiment with something but I guess I'll have to wait until I get you disqualified first." he said as he walked back towards the cave's entrance and looked at Amelia who had a bunch of leaves in her arms.

The moment he did, she immediately walked over and dropped all the fresh leaves into the flames. As the leaves heated up, they released the moisture along with various chemicals, all of which were pushed into the cave.

Keith's actions went on for three minutes until a masked instructor appeared in front of them. The masked guy poured some water over the fire and crouched down to look into the cave.

"Come out both of you." he said and just then, another masked instructor appeared and this person was someone that everyone in Keith's team recognized just from the shape of her body.

She looked at them and then at Clark who was crawling out of the Cave before nodding, "Congratulations to all of you. Your Team Sera is the only team that's managed to stay in a relatively healthy state. Every other team has been disqualified and will have to get involved in intense physical labour for the next month."

Clara raised her hand slightly, "If everyone got disqualified, then they won't be able to participate in the future events, right? If we're the only team, then all of the events will feel like a waste."

Instructor Sera nodded, "Yes, you're right. Since every team has been disqualified and you're the only one remaining, you can consider the training camp to have ended. You're the winners and once we get back, you'll receive your rewards. Currently, the higher ups are deciding on which one of you contributed the most and the one who they pick, will have the rights over distribution."

As she said this, everyone in his team couldn't help but glance at him as all of them knew that he was the one who had done a lot of stuff compared to anyone in the team.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keith on the other hand, was in his own world.

'Secondary awakening! Let's gooooooo!!' he thought, wanting to dance but held himself back.
