Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740 Begun

Life in the human domain usually followed a strict routine, one that very rarely got disturbed, especially on a Monday.

People would wake up in the morning, go to work if they had jobs, or work from home if that was their situation.

Youth or teenagers would head to school, while the others took care of whatever tasks filled their day—from chores, errands, or studying.

It was a rhythm everyone was used to.

But today was utterly different. Today, that routine had been shattered.

Ever since the war between the Ravensteins, Alverians, and Stellaris had ended, a certain anticipation had been building up.

Every single citizen across the domain had been waiting for this moment— The Verietaga Nexus.

It was an event that only came around once every ten years.

The excitement was at an all time high, but so was the anxiety. It was a day people looked forward to but also feared.

It was make or break, and for many, it meant facing the harsh truth of where humanity stood in the midst of the other races. And according to history, it wasn't a good position.

On the day of the Verietaga Nexus, there were no obligations— no work, no responsibilities. The entire domain was given one simple task: to watch.

From Sector One to Sector Ten, different groups gathered around massive screens that had appeared everywhere around the domain.

The streets were filled with people, crowds forming as hover cars and airships parked wherever they could find space.

Families crowded into living rooms, while others packed into bars, parks, or town squares. It was a domain wide holiday, but the atmosphere felt anything but relaxed.

The tension was palpable, the kind that settled into one's bones.

Everyone was waiting for the same thing: for the blank screens to light up and the Nexus to begin.

In past Nexus events, there had been a domain wide competition to select the apex—a chance for the entire domain to get to know their apex champion before the main event.

But this year was different. There had been no introduction. Instead, one name had already spread like wildfire, igniting rumors and excitement across all ten sectors.

Atticus Ravenstein.

The stories surrounding him were endless. He was a mysterious figure and a recluse, someone who almost no one had known until recently despite being such an important part of the Ravenstein family.

Information about him was scarce, but this only served to fuel the speculation.

From person to person, the rumors continually shifted, details distorted and soon exaggerated.

Some said he was unbeatable. Others claimed he had powers no human had ever seen before. And while most of these stories were exaggerated, one fact remained consistent: Atticus was a talent unlike any before.
