“So, are you all students of the old lady?…” Darius asked in a clear and easily noticeable accent that gave away his lack of familiarity with the new language of this planet.“Her name is Priya.” Kenji let out a soft warning, “And no, we aren't her students… some of us, I think.” He said the last part while looking back to glance at Talliu.“Sorry about that.” Darius apologized. He had only been here for a couple weeks so he still wasn't clear on what was considered respectful and not respectful. He had always referred to Priya as ‘old lady’ to the point he had even thought that was her name. No one ever bothered to correct him about it until now.“It's alright, now you know better. Hey, loosen up will you?” Stan waved off the discussion while putting one of his arms around Darius’s shoulder. This was easy for him to do because of his height and how long those arms were.This did not make Darius loosen up at all, but rather caused his body to stiffen and his mind to go hyper-alert. St
Galgamuth eventually lead them to a clearing where they able to spot a small pond with a cluster of boulders not too far from it.Although this was a wasteland, it seemed whatever had caused the land to become like this had happened long ago and it was in the middle of recovering.The wasteland was dry but it was possible to see small ponds and some small weeds once in a while. This showed that there must be water beds beneath the ground.‘They must have wells then.’ Darius thought of how the people back at the fortress were able to provide water.They walked to the pond cautiously while Galgamuth flew higher to get a better view.Darius stood at the very edge of the boulder clusters, just a few centimeters from getting his feet wet.“Why are you smiling?” Kenji asked Talliu who had put on a strange smile at some point.“Oh, I just remembered something funny. It's nothing.” Talliu responded casually. He took out black handgun as he busied himself with arranging his bullets and inserti
Seeing the raging mother Cyrix coming after him, Darius turned into the cluster of boulders and ran, he ran as fast as his legs could carry him.Like an out of control wrecking ball, the big Cyrix smashed its plumpy sides into many big rocks, which slowed it down for some time. Even then, it was still closing in.Darius could hear the grunts of the Cyrix coming closet and closer to him. Darius had already reached speeds previously impossible for him, he just didn't know it yet.Spotting a thin but sturdy looking dry tree not too far from him at the end of the boulder forest, he pushed himself harder so that he could reach it.Upon arriving, Darius jumped like never before, narrowly escaping a nasty bite to his thighs.He quickly crawled his way to the second lowest branch before looking down. Thankfully, the Cyrix could not climb after him, it just kept on screeching from the ground.She was still conscious of the fact that her two cyrix cubs were left behind, she was not too comforta
Within the vast emptiness of the dark void, two human-like figures, a man and a woman, stood exactly five meters away from each other. There was no platform of any kind beneath their feet, even then, they stood firmly not losing their balance.The man looked to be in his late forties with a mohawk hairstyle, the two shaved sides of his head complimenting his appearance. The black suit with purple lining he wore could not hide his well-muscled body. He floated there with legs put together and hands behind him which emphasized his large muscle-packed chest. The most fascinating thing about the man was his pure black eyes with glowing purple pupils that looked intimidating even when he wasn't frowning."After so many years... I guess this is it, *sigh*. " The man said in a deep and calm voice that echoed out in the void."Yes, it was bound to happen anyway," said the woman standing away from the man. Although shorter than the man, she was still quite tall even though there was no one arou
There's a saying that everything that happens in the universe has an explanation, whether it be logical or mystical, but sometimes what is to be explained doesn't matter, what matters is the level of understanding possessed by an individual to process that explanation. Nevertheless, that means that the existence of gods shouldn't be an enigma.All beings who possess a soul can be categorized into different classes namely; Beasts, Mortals, Espers, Spirits, Otherworlders, and gods. Every one of them is unique in their ways, especially the mortals and espers who are spread countless races and spread across different levels of civilization.The gods, being the most unique of all entities, have a unique way of coming into existence. For something or someone to die they must first have life and ALL that has life can and will die. However, it's a different case for gods because they don't even possess life so therefore they cannot and should not die, the concept of life and death will for
Jurdelious sat comfortably on a yellow couch that could normally contain three people, occupying half of the entire couch with his shoulders alone. In front of him was a wide screen showing a news channel, the reporter was talking about a wanted group of terrorists whose images were put on display just in case the civilians saw them. His eyes which were no longer black with purple pupils but regular black and white showed that what he was hearing on the screen was only amusing him and nothing more."*sigh*, mortals and their shenanigans," He said.Krene's voice came over from the kitchen like she heard his voice all the way from there." Oh don't be a hypocrite Jurdelious, your ways aren't pure either" Although she said this, her face was neutral, she didn't really care about what he was saying."That's different" He stood up from the couch, revealing his seven feet form, and headed to the window to just stand there. He stared at the green clouds that only appeared during the middle o
Everyone at the scene was completely shocked by what just happened.A man with glowing purple eyes had just shown up out of nowhere and pushed their car 'gently' with his leg, in the process killing eight men including the black-suited leader gruesomely.Also claiming to be some god or something. Teddy and the rest of the armed men were completely flabbergasted. But seriously, no one would react to a man pushing a car out like it was a weightless skateboard normally."Hmm, I've already suppressed my strength so much. Everything just feels like cardboard these days," Jurdelious muttered to himself.If other people heard him, the level of their shock would have increased. How much of his strength was he suppressing and how strong was he exactly?Teddy and the rest of the men stood rooted to the spot, "what! Wait... what just happened?" he said as his mind tried to explain what he had just seen.Fortunately or unfortunately, Jurdelious's voice woke him from his stupor. "Normally, I would
*One Year Later*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
