3 Chapter 3
(3rd Pov)
A tiny island sits surrounded by beautiful blue water. Palm trees grow on the sandy beaches, and you can smell the ocean in the air. Colorful coral reefs hug the shore, providing a home for lots of sea animals. There are two young men, fighting with the other being surrounded by lightning while the other holds two milk-white sticks in his hands.
This is Kyle and Castiel.
Four months had passed since then, and now, the two had grown much stronger.
Particularly Kyle, who undergoes the biggest transformation in his two lives, in just a short period.
Dodging the upper slash sent by the zombie man, Kyle backflipped, landing a couple of feet away, showing great dexterity.
For the past four months, Kyle focused his training on agility, maximizing the usage of his Godspeed.
Albeit he couldn't use its hundred percent power because it's of powerful voltage, Kyle trained like a madman, managing to adapt to the 30% voltage of Godspeed, being able to use it to fight.
From a whim, the young man had experienced what it's like to fight for his life along with Castiel, defeating the predator animals living on the island.
Now, they have killed all the strong beasts on the island, making them the apex predator.
As for his right man, Castiel, as the creation of the system, is more mature in nature, but still possesses a personality and conscience just like a normal person.
Gifted with a steadfast mindset whose loyalty is as unshakable as his intellect. A battle tactician with a sharp mind that navigates complexities effortlessly, he approaches challenges with unwavering determination.
Not only that, his strength is also impressive, matching Kyle with 30% Godspeed using his bone manipulation and unorthodox strategies.
It is precisely because of Castiel that they survived to this day.
Today, their daily sparring ended early because it was a special day.
Standing on the yellow sand, Kyle marveled at Castiel's creation in front of them.
It is a wooden raft, nothing out of the ordinary but Kyle was thrilled,
After four long months, they are finally leaving the island!
With no one strong enough to threaten them on the island, Kyle soon got bored sparring with Castiel who cannot replicate the exhilarating blood rush of fighting with your life on the line.
Embarking on their maritime journey, Kyle and Castiel stepped onto the boat, commencing their seafaring adventure.
Without a defined course, the pair aimlessly floated into the sea. Fortunately, their raft carried fresh water, and food came in the form of fish from the ocean.
The peacefulness of their day was shattered when a pirate ship suddenly appeared on the horizon, seizing the opportunity to assail them with cannon fire.
"Finally some action!" Kyle jerked up in excitement, having turned into a battle junkie.
"I'm going in!"
Without further ado, Kyle launched forward, even though the distance between them and the ship was still quite far.
"What's that?" Asked by one of the pirates as a blue silhouette was flying in their direction.
No, instead of flying, Kyle was 'running in the water, using the electricity in his feet to propel himself with every step forward.
Colliding with the ship deck, Kyle successfully landed on the enemy's ship.
Meanwhile, on their raft, Castiel is also busy blocking all the cannon fired at them, lest their boat get destroyed.
Back on the island, under the fearful gazes of the pirates, Kyle's eyes glinted with an excited grin.
"Let's fight."
Having no regard for other people's opinions, Kyle initiates the first move, punching the nearest pirate to sleep.
Even with Godspeed unactivated, the pirates stood no chance to Kyle's physical strength polished by gruesome training and daily lighting voltage.
He had turned mad, yes, with his bitter past as a motivation, the young man persevered, unwilling to be pushover any longer.
One by one, the pirates fell down unconscious, unable to bear more than one of Kyle's kicks and punches.
"Die, boy!" Said the pirate who bore the unmistakable aura of a seasoned seafarer. His frame suggested a life well-acquainted with pirate life. He is big in size, towering over Kyle and the rest, armed with a two-handed axe.
He is Denzi, the Beheader, an infamous cruel pirate known for beheading every civilian who was unfortunate to meet him, earning himself a bounty of 10,000,000 berries.
A downward swing of the massive axe forced Kyle to jump backward, still not using his lighting power.
Still, he is calm as he is used to fighting just by relying on his fists and legs.
Denzi on the contrary, had gone berserk after witnessing his pirate group getting stomped with no ability to fight back.
A huge horizontal swing exposes the angry pirate's body to attack, which Kyle takes advantage of.
A powerful stomach punch was sent, Kyle's first penetrating the pirate's fat 'defense'.
"Consecutive punch"
More punches were sent, each causing major damage to the pirate captain who was incapable of doing a counter-attack.
Just like that, the match ended with Kyle massacring the poor pirates who provoked someone they shouldn't.

'What's this system?' Kyle asked in surprise at the surprise reward coming from the system which had stayed quiet for the past four months.
[To commemorate the Host's first victory outside the starting location, the system gave the Host a reward as a motivation, please work hard more, Host]
Hearing the longest sentence Kyle had heard from the system, he silently thanked the system, happy to be rewarded for something 'trivial'.
Meanwhile, Castiel was still on the raft, padding the boat alone to get to the pirate ship.
