Al'ravee followed Ris's advice and started meditation. He did his research and found out that what Ris had said about his father was true, he was starting to wonder what else he didn't know about his parents.He followed some online meditation sessions every night before going to bed and it did help. Until now.Al'ravee was currently sitting on the bed against the wall in his room. In his hands was a large math textbook, and beside him was a notebook and scrunched-up pieces of paper. Barking sounds could be heard in the background from the neighborhood."Why does he have to make it so difficult to understand? Why must we show our workings, huh? How did those guys do it anyway? If only I could copy how they did theirs" Al'ravee had at some point developed a habit of talking to himself whenever he was alone.*BARK BARK*The sound of the dogs barking traveled into the room from the neighbor's house. At this point, Al'ravee's face showed extreme irritation. Because of his daily meditation session, he had learned to have a calm demeanor most of the time, so his current expression was quite rare.He simply ignored the barking in the background and focused on the equations in front of him. Grabbing a pen and the notebook, he continued his homework.*BARK BARK*...*SNAP*The pen in Al'ravee's hand snapped into two. His eyes narrowed into fine slits, just enough for anyone to notice the red veins in them."Hmmm," Al'ravee took a deep breath to calm down. "What are those dogs barking at?".He sat cross-legged and put his hands on his knees, straightening his back, he steadied his breathing muttering to himself "All will fade away, all will fade away, all will fade away". picturing an abstract but intricate form in his mind.This was a method performed by those who had anger issues, it could also be used to calm oneself. Not that he had anger issues, he just happened to learn all the methods on the online site.Too bad, lately, all the methods have slowly started losing effect.......…SilenceJust when Al'ravee was relaxing........*BARK BARK BARK BARK*...This time, the intensity of the barking increased with the seconds passing by.Al'ravee's eyes snapped open, filled with blood-red veins. He slowly stood up from the bed and walked towards the door, intending to go anywhere that was away from there.However, before his hand touched the door knob...*BARK BARK BARK...*He looked towards one of the two windows in his room and with a deafening howl, he rushed towards it and...jumped.*THUD*A low thump sound was heard outside as he fell to the ground.Jurdelious and Krene who were downstairs had already heard the strange cry. Krenes's face was very unsightly while Jurdelious was looking at Krene with caution."His behavior seems to be on the wild side. This is not the first time that dogs bark in the area, it's like he had just reached his first tipping point". Jurdelious said calmly.Krene stood up and walked towards Al'ravee from inside the house walking right through the walls in a flash of gold-colored light.When she was outside she called out in a domineering tone that would make any ordinary person drop to the ground. " Al'ravee!" Her voice seemed to carry forth a golden pressure wave that brushed upon Al'ravee who was lying down on the floor.Al'ravee didn't respond to her, instead, he stood up quickly with a bloody nose. Technically, he should remain down from all the pain he was supposed to be feeling.Jurdelious appeared beside Krene. "It's useless, we need to knock him out.""No, it might get worse. Should we just kill the dogs?"Jurdelious shook his head, he too had already thought of killing the dogs but he knew more than anyone else that it was pointless, hell just direct the agitation somewhere else. "Let's just watch, he'll exhaust himself eventually. We can always intervene if needed."*BARK BARK BARK.....*Al'ravee looked towards the fence of the neighbor's house with a blank look on his face. He walked slowly towards the thick wooden fence, it was too high to jump over so he did the next senseless thing he could do.*BAM BAM...BAM BAM BAM BAM..*He started punching the walls with all his might. Although he had never undergone any form of physical training, the walls were already showing small cracks.Truly, pain plays a huge role in the limits of the physical body.With every hit, blood was left behind on the wall. Al'ravee's knuckles were bleeding and becoming gory as time went on.A few minutes later, it was just his bones that were hitting the wall. A small gap had already been made. Maybe in this form of irrationality, he instinctively knew that to get to the barking, he had to work harder.So with shocking force, he slammed his foot on the wall repeatedly. This time, it seemed to be more effective.On the other side of the tall fence was the backyard of a yellow-painted duplex.Two large dogs could be seen barking fervently at a small rodent on the window sill.Both dogs were black with a brown underbelly which matched the color of their mouth. The only difference between them was that one was slightly chubby with floppy ears, while the other had pointy ears but a slimmer body.*THUMP THUMP THUMP*They turned their heads toward the thumping sound. The wooden fence was breaking apart because of a force from the other side until finally, it gave way as pieces of wood and splinters flew out.Staggering through the now large hole was Al'ravee with a twisted ankle.*AAAAAAARGH!!!*As soon as he set his eyes on the dogs, he let out a heart-shaking cry. The dogs also looked at him, baring their sharp teeth in a threatening manner towards the sudden invader....There was heavy tension in the air. The back door of the yellow-painted house swung open as the young couple living in this house walked out, a flustered expression on their face. " Hey, What's going on here!". said the young man among the two.Al'ravee did not even glance at them, he was completely focused on the dogs before him.The two dogs also felt an instinctive sense of danger when they looked at this boy.Al'ravee could be considered to have gone completely crazy.Jurdelious and Krene quietly watched what was happening from behind.At this moment, the two young adults had complex feelings about Al'ravee. Anger, caution, confusion, and fear.The next scene that played out could simply be described with one word; Bloody.

Chapter 89: The Sodernite
“Priya! What was that?” Clancy came over with worry for Priya.She had previously left Priya alone because Galgamuth was present, but when she heard that loud noise, she became very worried.Luckily, from what she was seeing, no harm was done.“Galgamuth is down there,” Priya said while frowning. She faced the direction from whence the being came from.Clancy looked over. Because of the wall, she couldn't see who was there but she could see traces of a red glow she recognized too well, and a foreign green glow.“Priya, let's go.” Clancy said as she saw the intensity of this glow fluctuating.They both knew Galgamuth had encountered someone who was keeping him occupied for now.Anyone who could keep Galgamuth busy for so long was definitely not an ordinary person.And if this was to break into a fight…“Priya, we have to go now!” Clancy repeated, this time raising her voice to allow Priya to register the alarm in her tone.If this was indeed going to break into a fight, they had better
Chapter 88: Violence
Meanwhile,Priya sat on the balcony as usual, this time accompanied by Galgamuth only.Galgamuth had his hands on the railings as he anxiously clenched down on them.“No need to be worked up, I have a feeling that things will go well,” Priya said while putting on a gentle smile.Hearing this, Galgamuth breathed heavily, “Did you get a vision?” He asked, his eyes filled with a longing for hope.Priya shook her head, “Unfortunately, no.”Galgamuth sighed helplessly.“But you shouldn't be worrying, even if something was going to happen, I'm sure a miracle will put everything in order,” Priya stated.Galgamuth turned to look at Priya with a strange look, “Miracle?” He scoffed, “I never took you as one who believes in taking chances.”Priya smiled at this, “Indeed, I don't believe in taking chances, that doesn't mean miracles can't happen.”“Miracle or not, that doesn't change things much. You're starting to sound just like Talliu.” Galgamuth said this with an awful expression.“Although h
Chapter 87: Non-human
The sudden transformation into a large two-tailed fire fox startled the enemy combatants.Rijinna, in her fox form, lunged at the nearest person to her, which was a non-human.She jumped over ten meters to sink her teeth into the neck of the non-human.“Aaaaaargh!”The green-skinned man shouted frantically as those needlepoint teeth pierced into his soft neck.For a brief moment, the rain of bullets on Rijinna stopped as the shooters hesitated to shoot their comrade, but that hesitation would cost them.Not stopping to check if her victim was dead, the fire fox went after the next person closest to her, bringing all her intent to massacre along with her.At this point, Darius and the others arrived at the edge of the bowl-shaped crater.Everyone quickly ran out of their land rovers with their firearms. Among them, a few of the combatants had gone to the trunks to take their surprisingly large guns. Darius was one of these few.His rifle was almost two meters long, sharing height with
Chapter 86: Fire Fox
Meanwhile.The twenty-nine landrovers all sped up after seeing the explosion. The black land rover on the other hand slowed down until the last vehicle behind it overtook it.The twenty-nine dirt brown land rovers continued onward.The black vehicle eventually slowed down. The driver opened the door casually and stepped out.*CRANK!*It was like the land rover had been suffering from having to carry a heavy burden. The noise coming from it after the driver alighted would raise questions anywhere.The driver himself had an appearance that didn't lose out to Rijinna.Standing more than six feet tall with a bald head and a stony gaze, his entire body seemed to be a statue… literally.He looked like a work of art that was carved out of magnificent grey stone. His muscles seemed well moulded and his jawline was as sharp as a cliff.Every movement of his was accompanied by a grating sound, like a stone rubbing against another stone.“Zillis, do your thing.” From the radio in the car, Darius
Chapter 85: Rijinna
One beautiful moon hung in the sky of planet Tavron. The light reflecting from the Daystar conveniently bounced off the moon, allowing the moonlight to shine on the still-recovering wasteland continent.The atmosphere seemed so peaceful and pretty, if only this silence could last till the end of time. Alas…A convoy of makeshift land rovers, thirty to be exact, rode fiercely on the dry wasteland like dirty mechanical beasts.All of them were armored, while ten of them had guns mounted on the top with someone manning them.A swarm of one hundred-odd bikes rode around this convoy, with two geared-up humans sitting on each bike.The combined roars of their engines scared away all low-level life forms while forcing the bold ones to remain rooted in place until they passed.Large centipedes and other nocturnal creatures could be seen scurrying into their burrows.Out of the thirty armored land rovers, the twenty-ninth on the line seemed a bit different from the rest. Not only was its mount
Chapter 84: Gods To Kill
Ozia nodded his head, “Then what about your name? You need to add more to your name, your mother might have named you but that doesn't mean you can't add to it.”Al'ravee nodded back at the machine-based god, “Yes” He said, “I can feel the annoying vain calls of mortals, it needs to be extended. I never planned on leaving it just the way it is anyway.”As Al'ravee said this he looked down at his hand, the perfect grey color reminded him of someone.Al'ravee opened his mouth to name himself. “My name shall be, Al'ravee Divera Murreleous Randolez Takuti Weada Balcin…”Al'ravee listed a total of twenty-two words for his full name. Some names came from his reference to certain people or places.Space seemed to want to flow and break at the mention of that full name. From now on, unless someone knew and called Al’ravee’s full name, he would never notice.As though to prove a point, the calls that had been in his head for some time immediately disappeared. No longer was he annoyed by the na
