Chapter 330: 330. Big Wall

’I see... it is somewhat similar to the one in the Three Domains,’ Orion thought as he focused his attention on his talent. He noticed there was no curse associated with this talent, which shocked him. He hadn’t expected that the talents awakened in this world would have no curses.

’This is good! Now let’s see my talent,’ Orion thought excitedly as he checked his talent.

[Talent: Omni-Focus (G) - The host can move stat points from one stat to another completely for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]

Orion was surprised. This was a good talent—far better than he had expected for a G-rank. It surpassed his initial low expectations, but a sense of frustration crept in.

He couldn’t help but wonder about the talent’s true potential if it had been of a higher rank. The thought gnawed at him, knowing that such a powerful ability was limited by the G-rank awakening, ultimately wasting its full potential.

Orion sighed at his bad luck.

’Let’s try it out and see how it works,’ he thought, moving all the stat points from Agility to Strength in his mind.

[Strength: 10]

[Agility: 0]

{Time - 30 seconds}

---

The moment he did that, a notification appeared in his vision. Not only that, but he felt his strength suddenly double. He felt much stronger than he had been just moments ago.

’This is good! But the countdown...’

{Time - 20 seconds}

Orion sighed again as he watched the countdown. He could only use his talent for 30 seconds before it needed a 30-second cooldown.

’That explains why there aren’t any curses associated with talents here,’ he thought as he walked beside Jake.

"Did you check your status?" Jake asked.

Orion nodded and said, "I did, and I have 5 stat points in each. How about you?"

"Same," Jake replied.

Orion thought for a moment before suggesting, "We still have half a day left in this world. I want to hunt some monsters and try out my talent."

Jake smiled. "That’s what I was thinking. Let’s go to the Big Wall."

Orion nodded, then asked, "You know the way to the Big Wall, right? Also, we’re kids—who would let us outside the wall?"

Jake smiled. "Just follow me, and you’ll understand."

Orion frowned but followed Jake as he led the way.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

"So, this is the wall we’ve studied about," Orion said, astonished.

In front of him stood a massive wall, extending from one end of the horizon to the other, towering above every building in the city. Its colossal height and imposing presence marked the boundary of the city, a barrier between the relative safety inside and the dangers that lurked beyond.

’This is huge!’ Orion had never seen such a massive wall before.

"Hehe, this is the last line of defense for the people of Citrix City," Jake said, smiling.

"I know." Orion understood what the wall was for.

In this world, or on Earth, monsters dominated the landscape, transforming it into an unforgiving wilderness where survival was a constant struggle. To protect themselves from the relentless onslaught of these creatures, humanity constructed massive fortress cities, each surrounded by towering, nearly impenetrable walls.

These walls were not just protective barriers but the foundation upon which human civilization rested, ensuring their continued existence in a world ruled by monsters.

Without the security provided by these colossal walls, cities would be impossible to maintain. The sheer numbers and overwhelming strength of the monsters outside were too much for humans to contend with on open ground.

Even with advanced weapons and abilities, the monsters’ power was such that any unprotected settlement would quickly be overrun, wiped out in a matter of days, if not hours.

The walls allowed humanity to establish safe zones where life could continue with a semblance of normalcy. Inside these fortresses, people lived, worked, and thrived. The walls were equipped with defensive systems, such as turrets, magic barriers, and advanced weaponry, all of which enabled the defenders to repel the monsters’ attacks.

These fortifications also allowed for organized counterattacks, where humanity could launch calculated strikes against the hordes beyond, gradually reclaiming pockets of land and resources.

"Let’s go," Jake said.

Orion followed him for a while until they arrived in front of a crowd. There were many people of different ages, but they all had one thing in common: they were equipped with armor and swords, appearing as though it wasn’t their first time hunting outside the walls.

"Follow me closely," Jake said as he moved through the crowd. Orion followed behind.

Not long after, they reached a wide building.

"This is the North Post of Citrix City," Jake said before entering. The building was open to everyone.

Orion stepped inside and immediately understood its purpose. There were many injured people lying around and others wearing armor, ready for battle.

"Jake, you’re finally here," an old man approached them.

"How have you been, Uncle Chuck?" Jake asked with a smile. Experience exclusive tales on NovelBin.Côm

"Haha, I’m fine," Chuck replied with a laugh, then turned to Orion. "This must be Orion, right?"

"He is," Jake confirmed before getting to the point. "Uncle Chuck, we want to go outside to hunt some monsters and test our talents. Can you help us?"

Uncle Chuck frowned, contemplating for a moment before replying, "Fine. I’m free for now anyway. I might as well help you two." He added, "Wait for me at the gate."

Chuck left, and Jake said, "Let’s go," as they exited the building. Orion followed, realizing Jake had many connections in the city. He understood it had something to do with the soul of the Jake in this simulation, not the one from the Three Domains inhabiting Jake’s body.

Soon after, they stood in front of a normal-sized gate in the wall with other people waiting to go outside and hunt monsters.

Some time later, Chuck returned with several men clad in armor and armed.

"Take these swords, both of you," Chuck handed them swords. "You’ll need them."

Orion didn’t hesitate and accepted the sword, as did Jake.

"The gate will open in a few minutes. Be ready," Chuck said solemnly.

Orion and Jake nodded, waiting for the gate to open.
