All for nothing
Damian stood face to face with the Ajuma, which now wore an almost harmless expression. Its features were soft, calm, almost peaceful. Yet for some reason, Damian couldn't attack — or didn't want to. The urge to fight had drained out of him, replaced by a strange, heavy stillness.Beelzebub's voice rang out from within."This explains why you didn't attack first when you first met it. I think this form has something to do with peace — it prevents you from attacking or committing any sort of violence in the first place." She paused. "So just let me borrow your right hand."Damian hesitated. He didn't have time to continue fighting this Ajuma indefinitely. Not to mention, this might be the only way to end it once and for all in this particular form."Fine," he said. "But only for ten seconds."His right hand suddenly glowed purple — a deep, abyssal violet that pulsed with ancient power. The hand moved on its own, lifting, pointing directly at the Ajuma.In a blink, a purple energy beam
Difficult to kill
"Damn!" Damian leaped back, trying to put as much distance between himself and the Ajuma as possible. But just then, the bone in his left hand snapped. He dropped the dagger, the clatter echoing across the ruined street. He looked up at the Ajuma and saw it twist its own hand to an unnatural angle — bones cracking, fingers bending backward — a wide, knowing smile spread across its face. Its hand plunged straight toward its own head. Inches from contact, it stopped. The head rotated. The Ajuma's entire body turned black — deep, abyssal black, as if it had become a walking hole in the world. The new face that settled at the front carried an expression that could only be described as grief. Despair. Sorrow. Whatever it was, the effect on Damian was immediate and absolute. "It was a mistake," Damian whispered, his voice trembling. "I didn't do it on purpose. I swear." Beside him stood the boy he had killed. Joseph Parker. The student who had died because Damian had moved too fast,
Wrath
Damian stood in front of what could only be described as terror.According to Beelzebub, it was an Ajuma born from nature and pure Zeta — making it a hybrid. Unlike normal nature Ajumas, which were linked to an element or naturally occurring matter, this Ajuma had been created from the entire Sapphire Massacre itself.The blood. The flesh. The chaos.The entire weight of negative energy and emotions from over a hundred thousand deaths had coalesced into a single, living form. Luckily, it was still newly formed, and its rank hovered somewhere between Special and Disaster Grade. If it had been any higher, Damian would already be dead.After absorbing the core, the entire bone dome had fallen apart. From the ruins, a four-faced Ajuma rose.Its body was almost minimalist in design — entirely white, smooth, featureless except for the four faces that surrounded its head. One faced forward, one faced backward, and one faced each side. Every face wore a unique expression, frozen like a mask.
Upgrade
The Imperial Court. The same cold chamber with high ceilings and marble columns, the same judge standing at the raised podium, his black suit immaculate, his shaded eyes unreadable.Damian stood before him, confusion etched across his face."I'm afraid you do not fully understand your sentence," the judge said, his voice flat.Damian's brow furrowed. "Your Honor, I am confused. You asked me to find the person responsible, and I've given you evidence that it was an instructor from Alpha Academy." He spread his hands. "Is there something else I'm missing?"The judge was silent for a moment. Then he shook his head slowly."Your sentence was for you to find the person and neutralize them." He emphasized the last two words. "In other words — kill them or bring them in." He raised two fingers. "You have twelve days left. I advise you to start looking for him. Your failure to neutralize him immediately was a mistake on your part, because you've made it difficult to locate him now that he's a
Bounty
City X. The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the quiet streets. Sagara's home stood at the edge of the compound, its walls still bearing faint scars from past battles. Inside, the rooms were neat and sparse — the home of someone who valued function over comfort.Sagara moved through the hallway, a cardboard box in his arms. Inside were freshly delivered glasses — a new supply, shipped from somewhere across the continent. He carried them to his room and placed the box on a shelf beside several others, all identical. Then he took a deep breath, steadying himself, and stepped out of his house.The air outside was cool, carrying the faint scent of pine from the surrounding forest. The second moon was already visible, pale and luminous against the darkening blue of the evening sky.Sagara stopped in the middle of the yard. His hands rested in his pockets. His black shades hid his eyes."I know you're here," he said calmly, his voice carrying across the empty s
Veil of shadows
[Veil of Shadows; Earth grade.][Allows you to control shadows in three forms: Fluid, Light, or Solid. You are able to freely bend shadows around you — either creating weapons with shadow, trapping enemies with their own shadow, or transporting through shadows. The shadow element is extremely versatile and volatile in its uses, but also easily countered by light.][500/800]---"How?" Mr. John's voice was sharp with confusion. "How are you able to manipulate shadows?"He stared at Damian as if seeing him for the first time — he didn't recall the boy having the ability to manipulate shadows earlier.The Ajuma moved.It dashed toward Damian at incredible speed, closing the distance in a heartbeat, and threw a powerful punch. Damian raised his arms to block — the impact connected, sending him sliding back across the floor, his heels scraping against the concrete. Pain radiated up his forearms, but his bones held.The Ajuma didn't stop. It created claws of shadow — long, jagged, gleaming
