My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

"After the success of the system, Gray did stay low trying to master it by leaving the guild and hopping into a portal going to hunt beasts while trying to use the system.

He didn't hunt dangerous beasts though, he hunted intermediate beasts while mastering the system and not even using Qi. Sometimes he came back with injuries, and sometimes he doesn't." Zee narrated.

"He was making fast progress and began levelling up. And the more he levelled up, the more powerful he got as the phoenix guild was now making crazy progress in the human world. Although we still stayed at the volcano region, it served more like a base for us.

Just like how Aurora Academy is for the Fang hunters. We had so many branches, and even conquered some guilds. Because of the system, Gray became a one man army at level 10 at that." Zee added.

"I have a question though." Jake said. "When I first saw Gray on the broadcast, when he was trying to conquer a planet and he said the word system. I freaked out but you reassured me that he doesn't have a system and even if he did, you would know about that.

But here, you are narrating how he managed to get a system because of you. Don't you think it's contradictory?"

"Yes it is, if you listened to an unfinished tale you buffoon! Let me be done with my story." Zee retorted back.

"Fine, continue." Jake said.

"Thank you." Zee scoffed. "Now, after conquering small times guilds and growing in strength, Gray thought himself to be a god on earth and wanted to do more so he decided he was going to try and challenge a big three for their position.

I tried persuading him and telling him it was a wrong decision since I worked with another big three and I knew their strength but as usual, he was adamant. I'm even shocked that he has become somewhat calmer."

"So who did he challenge?" Jake asked.

"I was getting to that, stop interrupting me!" Zee shouted in Jake's mind.

"My bad." Jake said.

"As luck will have it, the fool went ahead to challenge the strongest big three; Rex Slade! Although the big three all had tremendous strength, Rex was a monster in human flesh.

I can't forget that day as it was both hilarious and sad when I saw Gray's body afterwards. He was beaten so badly by Rex that he was totally covered in injuries and it would have been a miracle if he survived.

Although he put up a good fight and managed to injure Rex twice which he had never experienced before except when fighting a Beta werewolf." Zee said and then began chuckling as he remembered how Gray was like for weeks.

"After his defeat and since he managed to put up a good fight against him, Rex decided to let Gray stay at his city and he got treated by the best doctors there. And when he was fully healed, Rex decided to teach Gray how to use Qi by himself.

All the stages of Qi he knew, although not really all, he taught them all to Gray making him a new powerhouse but during that time, something weird happened that changed Gray and thinking about it now, it looks like it was after he left Slade city." Zee said.

___________

A few weeks later after leaving Slade city, Gray was back at the phoenix guild with renewed strength that he knew nobody could stand against him except the big three so they went conquering guilds after guilds.

Even the big independent guilds that was formed, Gray toppled them on his own and stayed at their top and managed to bring the phoenix guild to the number 1 independent guild.

A little under the big three which was an amazing feat as no one as young as Gray had ever done it before and he managed to do that in just three years of him building his guild and in a year of him having the system.

But something was wrong and throughout his conquest, Gray had never used the system and only his Qi and the skills he learnt from Rex. And so when the day arrived for him to use his system, it was on the day he went for an expedition to a red portal planet.

A red portal planet that housed nothing below the advanced tier beasts. He went there with his group and they decided to hunt and when they encountered a king tier beast for the first time, Gray decided to use his system but strangely enough, it wasn't working.

No system screen, no skills and in the process, so many people died that he had to retreat as he wasn't strong enough to face against a king tier beast yet. Actually, it was a horde of them.

When they managed to retreat back, a few days later, Gray was seen storming into Jay's workshop.

"What the hell happened Jay?!" Gray shouted as soon as he walked in startling Jay who was engrossed in work.

"What do you mean? What happened?" Jay asked.

"The system isn't responding. No matter how hard I try, it won't activate. My skills—years of progress—just vanished. What is going on?" Gray shouted in anger to the extent the room was seen trembling with the tubes Jay had in his room trembling slightly.

"What do you mean by its not working? How is this possible? When last did you use the system?" Jay asked.

"During when I fought Rex. I haven't used it since then as I didn't need to." Gray replied. "What does that have to do with me not seeing it again?"

"It doesn't! But something must be wrong." Jay said and then quickly turned around searching his desk over and over until he took he needle and walked forward towards Gray. "I need your blood to examine it."

"Do whatever you want, but I need my system as soon as possible!" Gray said and Jay stabbed the needle into Gray's hand drawing blood and then walking off to his computer and began analyzing it while Gray was seen pacing around the room.

After a few minutes, Jay's eyes widened in shock as he glanced at the results which made Gray walk over.

"What's wrong? What happened?" He asked in panic.

"The… the…the system has been interfered with. Something has blocked the congual infrastructure leading to the linkage been scrambled with." Jay said.

"I don't speak nerd you fool! Speak in English and tell me what the hell is going on?!" Gray shouted in panic.

"When I was working on the system, the advanced chip I stole from Bane was what I used as a linkage between the command and the system so it won't fail again. That chip, the signal had been blocked and there's no way I can un-block it!" Jay replied while Gray took a slight step back in disbelief.

"Ca…can't you do something? I mean you are the creator darn it!" Gray said.

"I can't! Yes I did create the system, and I co- created the advanced chip, you are forgetting that someone else did the full work on the advanced chip. Hold on! Was there a time when Bane visited you?" Jay asked.

"Yes! He came along with another big three as they wanted to see the fool that challenged Rex." Gray replied.

"Did he touch you?" Jay asked.

"Yes! What has that got to do with anything?" Gray asked when he saw Jay break out in sweat.

"Crap! You shouldn't have let him touch you. This is why you shouldn't have challenged Rex darn it! If you had shown some strange skills he hadn't seen before, don't you think he will consult the technological genius of their group?" Jay shouted in anger as all his hard work had just been rendered futile.

"Wh… what can we do now? I can't lose the system. Can't you do another one?" Gray asked.

"I can't create another one because I would need that same advanced chip I stole again and I don't have it. Even if I wanted to make another one, the first one took two years to create and even so, your body can't house two systems!" Jay said.

"So you are saying I have lost the system?" Gray asked.

"Not really. I just have to try and uncode the code Bane put on the chip. It might take a few weeks, months or even years as you know that Bane is my elder in this field." Jay said.

"Whatever! Just do something ASAP!" Gray said and then stomped out of the room.

"Shit! If Bane knows about the advanced chip, he will know that I'm here. Which means he would try an attack one way or the other to drag me out of here.

Gray is not strong enough to shield me again. I need to take matters in my own hands which means I need a system of my own." Jay said.
