Fate's Eternal Foe

Ring!...Ring!...Ring! An arm shot out suddenly and knocked off the alarm clock jerking violently on a bedside desk. The alarm clock fell on the rugged floor and continued ringing loudly. A pair of red eyes opened wide and stared at the white intricate ceiling. As the blares from the alarm continued from the floor, a dark figure rose from the bed to a sitting posture. The figure reached for a phone that sat on the table. It opened up the phone and scrolled through for a few seconds. Soon after a sigh escaped its lips then it stepped down from the bed and walked to a corner of the room. Flip!The formerly dark room brightened up. A man in dark pajamas appeared in the bright light. His pale white skin formed a contrast with the pajamas he was wearing. His hair was full and black. He had a handsome profile with a pair of emotionless eyes." Another monotonous day of work". He murmured as he entered the bathroom door. As he brushed his teeth in front of the sink mirror, past memor

In a bustling street in the markets of Nextar cityBusiness people called out their wares, and the bustling crowds moved around. The dirty gutters packed full of waste gave out a rancid smell."Furrnown! Furrrnown!!!"The bus drivers shouted to the passing crowds while huge droplets of sweat fell from their bodies.Cold water hawkers moved with great dexterity around the moving cars as they hawked their wares. To the inexperienced eye, they were dancing on the thin line between life and death.In that same street, a statue of an ancient warrior looked at the heavens arrogantly and his sword pointed threateningly at the earth, not minding the caked droppings that birds accumulated throughout the years on his face.At the feet of the statue stood a black-haired man with pale skin who wore a slightly rumpled but clean suit. His attire made him look totally out of place with the environment. His face had a deep look of despondence and his eyes looked worn out.Derrick looked on quietly

In a vast wilderness void of living things, a dark gaping shaft with an endless void cut across a large distance. Its edges were jagged like the open maw of an ancient prehistoric beast ready to chomp down on anything or anyone that dared fall through.A bald Monk donning black robes floated cross-legged in the air beside the shaft.His face was carefree and he looked just like a depicted picture. His bald head reflected the hazy light that surrounded him.His posture had a detached feeling and only the long fingers counting beads on a long chain affirmed that he was not a lifeless statue. A dark rift suddenly opened beside him and the Faction Master walked out of it.He stood beside the Monk but did not speak and only stared into the wilderness. The monk continued counting his beads and took no notice of his existence." Monk Agdol".A sound echoed in the empty wilderness, but the Faction Master's lips stayed shut as he looked into the distance.Monk Agdol stopped counting his b

Eugene's face was solemn." So it seems your death was faked? "David scoffed ' Of course junior brother, do I look dead?"."You don't look pleased to see me". He said."You should be happy I'm alive, after all, I'm still your senior brother"."Do you loathe me that much?"Eugene looked at him in disgust "Why can't you just let the dead be?". He asked." He's already dead. Just let him rest in peace"." You guys mistreated him enough when he was alive"."Or you want his talent?".Eugene smiled lightly and shook his head. " No. It can't be you"."You love yourself too much to take that risk"." Why, I was even doubtful that you would enter a dangerous realm all in the name of breaking through"." Coming to think of it, there were a lot of holes in the story of your death". "I guess you're using that fool Fabil, as your lab rat'.Davi had been watching Eugene in amusement, but when he heard the last part his face stiffened. " Stop all this nonsense! Let's get to the main point"." G

"Roar!!!"A loud guttural sound came ou from the body's throat.Slowly turning it looked at Eugene and his comrades. And Immediately after seeing them extreme anger showed in its red eyes and it let out a louder roar."ROAR!!!" The sound brought reverberations that spread out from it and disturbed the river.A stifling pressure descended on all the experts and they felt their chest become heavy instantly." What's happening?" Efel turned urgently to Eugene and asked. " Kores is not this strong. Why is he so strong?". He shouted in alarm.Eugene who was also feeling the hands of fear slowly reaching into his heart, shook his head. " I don't know what happened. I also do not understand why he is so strong".He watched the corpse of Kores that was still roaring madly within the runes, and then suddenly his mind jolted. " The stone!"He could see the Universe Origin stone which was attached to the corpse's chest continuously send pulsing energy to it. "So that's why he has so much
