Derek sat on a thick branch of tree, crossing his legs while he watched the rest of his clan members from above. His face was masked with worry when he kept thinking about the unfairness of the system.“Everyone knows this place is not a fair place but I think they could have excluded us from this game, given that we're not even up to five,” Andrew scratched the back of his neck.They had chosen to stay in an isolated area until they saw the rest of the groups, and even amidst their discussion, they still kept their guards up, noticing even the slightest sound. However, it turns out to be nothing serious in the end.“It's our fault,” Derek jumped down from the tree. “We could have chosen to recruit more members, but we did none of that.”Molly nodded in agreement. “Well, we were very low in numbers so I don't think that would have done us any good.”“We've got a total of three million XP or something,” Lucas looked at Derek with a bit of uncertainty.Apparently, he had seen Derek weap

Back at the shelter, the atmosphere was just as anyone would have anticipated. Empty. That was the perfect word to describe it. “For once, I never thought I'd wish to be there with them,” Jasper wrapped his hand around the cube in his hand. “I don't know why.” Xavier who was in the corner of the room only turned to him once before he locked his eyes on the laptop once again, clearly unbothered. As for Kelvin, his gaze kept darting between Jasper and the cube in his hand, and for once, he gave him the same stare as Natasha when he remembered her fighting against the one who had ended up killing her. Jasper caught him staring. “We’ve heard of different awakenings, different skills that come after crazy missions, and look around,” Jasper whipped his head in a circle. “I'm pretty sure it's not all of us who have gotten our skills.” “What do you expect?” Kelvin's question hung in the air, and before Jasper could even respond, he continued. “We came here recently.” “You call four mo

Sparks filled the space between Theodore and Van when their weapons clashed together. The purple flame kept burning at the top of Theodore's scythe while he took careful steps backward. He kept staring at the double butcher's knife in Van's hand, the lime-coloured flame was intimidating for sure, but the broad rectangular steel head made it more intimidating, including the weight. Theodore had felt it when the weapon clashed with his scythe on several occasions. “It's a nice weapon you've got there,” after admiring the weapon for a while, Theodore pointed it out with a tired smile. “Would be perfect in my arsenal.” “You're a good one,” Van tightened his grip around the knives, going at Theodore for the thousandth time. “But you speak too much.” He threw the knife on his left at Theodore, watching his face twist with shock written all over it. Obviously, that was the last thing he had expected. Thanks to the distance between them, Theodore was actually able to defend the attack. Ba

Derek knew fear. He had felt it. He knew what it's like to be intimidated, but he had never felt something like this. A power as terrifying as Brandon's. “A mother and a daughter,” Brandon's speed shook the whole place, followed by a sudden gust of wind when he quickly got to the woman's daughter, caressing the side of her face with his fingers. “It must be nice to still have a family.” The memory of his dad came flooding in like a door that was suddenly opened for water to flow in, and that forced a bitter smile to curl his lips. “Leave my daughter alone!” The woman yelled, pulling out a dagger as she closed the distance between them. “I said leave my—” Brandon blew her off to the tree with the side of his hand, disgust masking his features. “Pathetic.” The woman fell back to the ground on her first attempt to get up, then the second. “What…” she knelt down with heavy breaths. “Did you do to me?” A sudden whoosh tore through her ears, forcing her eyes to flare wide in fright, he

'Benjamin was really dead?’Joshua had been looking around at intervals. Whenever he pushed Larissa so hard that her back was pressed against the floor. And even when it was his own back against the floor. Any chance he got. 'How cruel could this world even get?’ He demanded in his head. A world where you could not even mourn a dead one or else you'll get to meet them in the afterlife immediately. He couldn't even confirm anything. And now that the system announced its prize, Larissa wouldn't back down.Matthias had gone over to Theodore. The only people who were free were Ari, Alice, Talia, and Catherine who had just regained her consciousness.Although she was still restrained by Ari.It was wise for Talia to yield, knowing fully that she was the only one left on her team. There was nothing she could do to actually take home the grand prize, not with the numbers stacked against her.“Tell me Joshua, will you back down if you were in my shoes?” He knew Larissa was referring to the
