Calitra’s human civilization was a proud and headstrong race that carried the title of hunters regardless of whether they were individually weak or strong.And this was the third time that the pride of all Regilious had been humbled by an unseen enemy.Once again, the King’s Dominance of Helis spread across the continent like an invisible calamity. Hunters collapsed in pain beneath the pressure while their lungs struggled desperately for air. Though no lives were lost this time, the terrifying helplessness slowly eroded their sense of control over themselves.Regilious, the south-western continent of the world Calitra, was a land almost entirely consumed by the endless forest known as Naturia.Naturia stretched across the north, east, west, and south of the continent like a colossal living prison surrounding humanity itself. Human civilization survived only at the southern edge of Regilious, occupying barely fifteen percent of the continent’s total landmass.Yet despite that insignifi

[Capital Bearda, Morning after one day since Nishan’s battle against Karguran ended]The morning sun slowly rose beyond the horizon, spreading warm golden rays across the world of Calitra. Yet despite the beautiful weather, the capital of Bearda no longer carried its usual calm atmosphere.The polished stone pathways trembled beneath countless footsteps of humans filled with frustration and unrest.Delegations from all eight towns of Regilious had arrived at the capital since dawn. Their respective banners swayed proudly above the crowd while the symbols of each town fluttered beneath the morning wind. Faces filled with exhaustion, anger, and growing impatience moved through the streets of Bearda like a tide ready to burst through a weakened dam.And every single one of them carried the same question in their eyes.“When are we going to hunt the King of the Forest?”The busy life of the capital slowed noticeably as the delegations marched through the streets. Merchants stopped speakin

I was asleep for two days in Aslucia. Dismantling a Mythic class guardian pushed my my over-engineered frame to its absolute physical threshold. When my consciousness resurfaced finally, the ambient quiet of the Aslucian tree house was shattered by pairs of anxious gazes around me. Sierra, Lilia, Niebee and Krileekit sat around the white bed patiently waiting for me to wake up.I forced myself upright, my vision clearing just as Sierra and Lilia broke formation to close the distance.“Are you alright?”The demand came out of their lips in perfect sync filled with protective worry. Their eyes trembled slightly as everyone in the room held their breaths tightly in anticipation. I simply nodded with a smile.I felt completely recovered.The Helis reservoirs were already full again since my body naturally absorbed extra Helis from the surroundings and stored them automatically. The fatigue from the battle was completely gone.I slowly stepped down from the bed and arched my back before re

Krileekit and Sierra were sitting over the grass field of the habitat busy talking among themselves. Meanwhile I was occupied dealing with the Emoji Builders. Due to my long absence they had grown tired of unemployment. Their screens remained tilted toward me and their tiny hammers stayed raised impatiently in the air. Question marks flickered repeatedly across their screens as they demanded their next task immediately.“Yeah! Yeah! I am deciding the next task already, just wait a moment.”I muttered with a smile while my finger kept scrolling through the to-do list displayed across the system screen. The first priority was upgrading the domain to the next level so the Emoji Builders could finally venture outside to construct Duke and Sierra’s home within the forest. My castle was already completed but upgrading the domain required a large amount of Heliron.The problem was the amount needed.The floating habitat itself was already massive. Expanding and upgrading something of this sc

The evening suddenly turned violent in the forest, forcing the guardians of the southern region to step in. Far away from the battlefield, Leonia sensed the conflict erupting in the air. Her roar echoed through Southern Naturia like an alarm bell announcing war. The forest answered her call immediately. Birds scattered from the canopy and weaker monsters fled deeper into their territories.But the warriors at the centre of the conflict paid no attention.Karguran lunged forward. The gigantic gorilla crossed the distance between them in a single, devastating leap. His massive frame blotted the sunset and his hammer came down with enough force to shatter stone mountains. Yellow lightning crackled wildly around the hammerhead as it descended toward Duke.Duke barely managed to react. He rolled across the ground at the last possible moment. The hammer sliced through the air and slammed into the grass field.THUD!Giant fissures erupted outward from the point of impact, tearing through roo
