Their first step out of the cave told them they were not against those creatures they'd encountered previously, including the area where they were likely going to clash.'It never ends without a fight,’ Joshua's thought clouded his mind for a mere second, and he shut his eyes briefly as his second step made squelching sounds that made it seem like he was tearing the flesh of a creature.Meanwhile it was just the slimy part of the floor. 'Balance,’ another thought came crashing in his head as he pictured a scene that was yet to unfold. Like he needed to gather the tiniest of details in case things went south, he looked around the whole place, noticing the spikes on the side of their arms. These were no normal goblins.'Did they have a hairstylist around this place?’ Joshua pinched himself while he tried to shove down the laughter that was halfway his throat while advancing forward along with Ari and Jasper. Kelvin was behind them.Finally, he was able to get the exact number, and t

“By tomorrow we'd have people tend to your injuries,” Derek folded his hands above a table in the room with his gaze sweeping over the heads in the room.They had reduced drastically in number, but still, he somewhat had confidence in the lower number of clan members he had. After all, it was better than having a thousand soldiers who would still make him think twice before making a move. “We don't have anyone who possesses a medic skill,” Catherine looked around. “We've also exhausted our medical equipment.”“We can access the medical segment in the system's store, you should know that by now,” Molly said while coming to a stop at the entrance of the huge room.The claw mark on her arm was still visible, although it was now more of a bruise since it had been two days since they had set out on the mission. A mission that saw half of their clan wiped out by those gruesome creatures. Except they did not exactly kill half since she killed one of her own. Well, it was bound to happen s

The air in Catherine's room was rather suffocating than usual. Her endless scoffs, sighs that grew heavier with every second that passed, and endless search for the right cloth to put on.And somewhere in the corner of her room Theodore was seated there with one leg crossed above the other. He had not taken his eyes off her, but still, he found it difficult to call out the name. To ask the obvious question, and right in the middle of his thoughts a yell cut through it.“Fuck!” Catherine slammed a jacket on the floor with a loud hiss that made Theodore discard everything he was on the verge of doing.“Day after day it just gets shitty!”“Maybe today's different Catherine,” he got up to his feet with a quick glance at his hand. “We're going to a different clan which has medics.”The hundredth sigh from her since the start of the day filled the room. “Well guess who has one month to live?”“Me Theodore, me!”“Not your or Andrew. Me!”Theodore drew back with his lips vaguely parted. He

Derek was left dumbfounded when he heard the names the man called, and more than ever, the urge to actually kill the man vibrated through his bones, but he knew it was impossible.Not with the people around him..'What am I thinking? I can't even beat him in a one on one fight,’ he planted his foot on the ground with the unease in him rising.It was still funny how things had turned for him that he even forgot Lucas was somewhere behind him, lying unconscious until the man reminded him in a calm tone.“It's either you return back with him or you let us treat him, and in exchange you give us two of your members,” the man looked at Theodore and Catherine once again.He turned to Derek once again before adding, “the lad has one hand, you should be thankful I'm taking him.”'Fucking bastard!’ Derek cursed in his head.The main reason why he was yet to get rid of Theodore was because of his usefulness that could be seen by almost everyone who had been with him for a while and the fact that

Ashford equipped his suit with a sinister smile that was on the face of a warrior who knew he had won a battle before it began.It was a suit of golden armor with a logo of a large dragon holding a spear with its wings out. As for the helmet it completely covered the back of his skull, while a narrow line ran right from his forehead down to the bridge of his nose, dividing the front of the helmet.“Brandon and Lauren, follow me,” he took the helmet off, sending it back into the system before he threw the ring in the open air, and it suddenly turned into a bigger hole that was produced shortly after a chime.[S RANK PORTAL OPENED]“Not… not me?” Freya demanded with her glasses in her hand. She had always dropped it back whenever she was leaving for places like that, but with Ashford mentioning just two names she was left confused.“Freya, no,” Ashford replied immediately, still locking his eyes on the portal up ahead. “You can stay with the rest of them. As you know it won't take lon
