Alvin's heart ached as he watched the sheer amount of groceries wasted on the floor. Even if he currently had money, he had been someone used to being broke, so waste of any kind was not acceptable to him. He sighed deeply and turned to Martha.

“Do you guys have the card I gave Leah? Where is it?” He whispered, driving out of the mini mart/ one stop shop.

“Yes, it's with me.” Tiffany said, bringing it out of the pouch strapped to her waist.

“How much was spent?” Alvin asked, but everyone

  • fighting the vampire professor

    Alvin instinctively squatted down with lightning speed, his heart pounding. “You should be preparing for the test session, why are you all still sitting lazily?” One of them barked, displeasure coloring his face on seeing everyone in relaxed blissful postures. Alvin exhaled in relief, he didn't seem to have noticed him. The two people behind the young man who seemed to be the professor continued talking about the new elixir, while the professor watched the rest of the staff. Alvin looked at the little bundle in his arms. The child woke up due to Alvin's fast movement as he squatted down, but he didn't cry, just looking up at him. “Good boy.” He muttered and carefully lowered the child into the makeshift cot in the storage space. He watched the kid to check if he would cry. Seeing that it didn't show any sign of discomfort due to the strange environment, he returned to the task at hand. His anesthetic gun materialised in his hand. Earlier, Alvin inadvertently discovered th

  • playing a fast one

    Alvin searched through his inventory and found a little energy pill suitable for babies. It was just like vitamins, filling and milky. He wore sterile gloves on top of his black leather gloves, and one of the capsules appeared in his hand. He would have loved to feed the baby with milk, but he couldn't carry the child up without others noticing. He was invisible, the baby wasn't. Later, once it was safer, he would find something better for the kid to drink. But for now, this would have to do. It was a special elixir he made from the water of a divine tree. It was different from other spiritual trees and fruits in the sense that it was mild, and slow acting, suitable for babies. It released nutrients over a long period of time, preventing bloating and energy deviating, which might lead to complications. He tiptoed towards the baby, careful not to brush against the people chatting around the table. He looked around, making sure no one was paying attention to the child and adj

  • lab of abomination 2

    Alvin adjusted his position, carefully avoiding being seen by the combat master. His heart was pounding, the statue gave him a weird feeling like it was alive. The first box was carried down, then the second. The other man in military gears also came around to help. “Is this all you found?” The woman in the white scrub asked, going to check the bundle in the nurse's arm. “Yes, Becky. Nowadays, it's harder to find gifted kids in the uptown area. However, this baby has a saint rank physique, and I think there should be a martial soul. Definitely a nice potential mutant warrior.” “His blood smells nice.” The Becky in white lab coat replied, opening the shawl. The moment she touched the baby, the child began to cry as if he knew the devil was close by. “Oh, shut the fuck up, you stupid little thing” Becky said with an eye roll. “If I hear your voice again, you will get it from me.” Then she turned to the nurse. “Don't you think that he would make a nice little sacrifice? He a

  • lab of abomination 1

    Alvin exhaled in relief the moment they peacefully passed the checkpoint. He was conscious of his surroundings, the yin aura was especially powerful. There were patrols moving around, watchfully keeping an eye out. However, they seemed visibly relaxed, as if they weren't watching for outsiders. It was impenetrable, no one was foolish enough to slip in to die. Except Alvin who had a death wish. “System, give me a run down of the mission requirements, create a map and circle out the targets.” “Master, the dark aura here is too powerful. I can't see far or access some areas. The spiritual ward is too powerful.” Alvin nearly cursed out. What kind of bullshit was this? If it couldn't investigate when he already brought it inside, what was he supposed to do? This fortress was as big as an entire city. Was he supposed to go from building to building, knocking on doors and asking which one was the right lab? He was sure there were at least more than four labs with different purpose

  • OPPORTUNITY

    Outside the fortress. Alvin still lay low, close to the fenced perimeter. This place wasn't safe and he felt someone watching him. But each time after investigation, he saw no one. Almost as if a powerful master was using his spiritual consciousness to sweep over the fortress. After some thought, Alvin made a decision. “It seems like I will have to use those forbidden techniques.” He had made a vow to himself not to practice dark arts, but at this point, there seemed to be no other choice. Dark arts used yin aura, and this place had it in abundance. However, it tainted the soul with darkness. If one didn't have a strong will, they might get addicted to the fast power upgrade it offered, going deeper and deeper into the practice till they fell into the dark path, using the most forbidden methods to advance, not minding people who might be killed, or the laws of nature defied. The library the stone-egg from Medicine sage valley's forbidden zone asked him to take with him contain

  • Bad fate

    On hearing ‘A visitor’, the sentinel's head snapped up. This place was far away from normal civilization, and they had used their people in government to ward off common people, turning the area into a forbidden zone. Besides, it was night when desert monsters were the most active, how could there be someone stupid enough to enter the black owl citadel? Especially with Lord Ning awake? Probably, the person didn't know he had come out from his secluded cultivation. Still, it didn't make sense. “Ah!” A thought occurred to the sentinel and he looked at Lord Ning. “My Lord, a team was sent to replenish provisions for the human team heading the transformation elixir research. It could be them returning.” The corner of Lord Ning’s lip turned up in a disdainful smirk. “Is that so?” He didn't believe it one bit. But he was too lazy to check. He wasn't the type to volunteer for thankless jobs. If someone wanted to spy on them, so what? With the measures set in place, the person could onl
