Chapter: Building A Fortress 6Irene gasped and sunk to her knees, with tears streaming down her face. "Ella, you're finally here. Marcus...he..." "I know. I used a sedative to calm him down." Ella whispered and held out her hand to pull the woman back to her feet. She found them when the beast was scaling the trees. But she remained in the shadows and watched them fall into desperation. To gain the full loyalty of the regular humans, Ella even manipulated the mutated plants to attack them until they lost hope, before making an appearance. Her methods might be vile, and her schemes sinister. But to imprint a powerful image of herself in the hearts of her future followers, she would've even led mutated animals to encircle them before coming to their rescue. What Ella wanted was to recruit people who would never betray her in the face of personal gain or preservation. And to do that in this crumbling world, she needed to instill both gratitude and fear in the hearts of the weaker humans, which could've only been p

Chapter: Building A Fortress 5"We take action on three!" Brad hollered, ignoring the strange tension between them.He didn't care what relationship the two had with the beast. As long as they didn't jeopardize his life, he was more than happy to let them keep their little secret. As far as he was concerned, they were only partners until they reached open land and went their separate ways.After all, the woman he wanted to follow was no longer around, so why would he stick around to face unnecessary trouble?"One!" He got into his battle stance, a low crouch with his knife gripped backward as if he were about to slash someone's neck, and beckoned to the woman with his eyes.Thankfully, she got his message and didn't create a fuss. Walking to the other side of her friend, she held out her hands, palm up, and frost crackled on their surface."Two!""Three!" At his cry, the wood seemed to groan to live. Vines and roots shot out of nowhere, reaching for their hands and arms, while the beast on the branch lunged at them

Chapter: Building A Fortress 4"Grrrrr!" Larger than an ordinary wolf, their friend-turned-beast leaped from branch to branch, stalking them with glowing hungry eyes. The lack of recognition in its yellow pupils placed them on edge. "What do we do?" Irene whispered. "If he attacks, we defend until we have no choice but to...kill." Celio spat decisively. "But..." "What? Do you think you can reach him in that state? Look at him, Irene. He's a beast!" As much as it hurt to admit it, Celio knew they wouldn't be seeing Marcus again. If he was like the werewolves in supernatural stories, then there might've been a chance to talk to him and get out of this situation without any bloodshed. However, this beast wasn't like the creature in those tales. The instant it changed, there was only bloodlust, and violence in its eyes. It turned on them, and chased them all the way to this point. While he was lost in thought, the beast flashed to the other side of their barrier. Issuing a deafening snarl, he lunged at the hudd

Chapter: Building A Fortress 3"Footprints? They must be close..." Ella narrowed her eyes and looked around. The wood was dark. Too dark to make out anything beyond ten feet. After reaching level 4, her five senses became sharper. Even then, she had difficulty navigating through this wood. The eerie ambience added a sinister vibe to the place, making her unable to relax. "Da*n it! If I knew this place would be so perverse, I would've never come out to search for them." She couldn't even travel on Radiance due to how difficult it was to see from above. Cursing under her breath, she checked her guns, making sure they were fully loaded, before following the tracks. The further she entered the woods, the colder it became. Controlling her crimson-gold flame, Ella encased it around her body in a dome-like shield for warmth and precaution against sudden attacks. Fearful whimpers, enraged snarls, and hungry growls rang out from multiple directions. Ella sneered and kept walking. After mutation, some plants with early i

Chapter: Building A Fortress 2Jax swallowed and absentmindedly stared at the sprawling trees. He couldn't understand why they were still stuck. Considering how long they've been wandering, they should've already made it to the other side by now. Did they take the wrong direction, or... A chill slithered down his spine. If they were going around in circles...under a mutated plant's manipulation...then Marcus wouldn't need to take his life. They would all be a goner. "Keep moving." Suppressing his fear, he led the remaining regular humans, as moving forward was their only chance to survive. For the umpteenth time, Marcus contemplated slaughtering them. They were no help. Their fruits ran out, and the noise they created was enough to attract a horde. Combined with the fact they weren't even certain of the direction to the stone mansion, they became nothing but a troublesome burden. Kill. Killing them will make everything easier. Killing them will... No. I can't kill indiscriminately. They're worthless, but th

Chapter: Building A FortressBOOK 2: The Superhuman Queen Chapter 1: Building A Fortress "Haha! That's payback!" Ella chuckled gleefully at the sound of the angry zombie's roar. Their last exchange severely affected her mental balance, to the point where she turned into a hermit. Other than going out to smash zombies and crash mutated plants and animals, she hadn't left her spatial space in a quest to reach level 4. Thankfully, she didn't need to find a healer for Radiance because of the spring water's healing ability. Her crane's mangled wing healed and became sturdier than before after a little splash with the water. "Now that I have a Lighting Manifestation Orb, I just need to consolidate my foundation. After a week, I'll consume the orb and aim to step into the fifth power level and awaken a lighting ability!" With this thought, Ella guided the crane back to the Stone Mansion. Swooping down in the front yard, she didn't wait for Radiance to land, before she hopped off her back and skipped into the mansion

Chapter: Apology 4At this moment, Long Tian wasn't feeling well. He believed in his wife's abilities and sensed she probably created a new record from the eager expressions of the group in the office. But this made him keenly aware of their impending separation. The fact that the woman responsible for his current state of mind was unaware of his misery only made the matter worse. 'Yue'er doesn't understand my fears and apprehensions. There's nothing I can do to convince her to return to the Long Mansion with me...' Brimming with frustration and helplessness, Long Tian pushed his wife to the only desk in the room and faced the group of eight. "Young...Young Master Long, we..." "You must be from the Board of Education and the Department of Education. We don't have all day. So make this quick." The expressions of the eight individuals turned ugly. They didn't expect Young Master Long to be so overbearing and dismissive of them. Even though it was said they came to apologize for the two education de

Chapter: Apology 3Early the next morning, after completing her regular treatment, Qing Yue began packing. Swishh! "Young Madam, these are your seasonal clothes and your uniform. I already packed and transferred your undergarments and bathroom necessities." The RoboCare spun to a stop before her. "Thank you..." Qing Yue named all the RoboCares and daily helping bots at Li Mansion. However, the ones at Long Mansion didn't seem to have a name. She didn't want to take it upon herself to name the care bots that helped her and Long Tian alone. But bringing up the topic to the man was a little...embarrassing. Stuck in an impasse, she had no choice but to postpone the matter. 'I'll bring it up to Long Tian after I return.' "Yue'er, the University called. Your results are out and we need to leave now." Long Tian's deep, magnetic voice resounded from the room and caused her to tense. Qing Yue looked around the walk-in closet and hesitated. 'He...he won't like this.' She sighed, steeled her heart, and wh

Chapter: Apology 2'What was that?' Qing Yue's eyes clouded as she recalled what she saw. The fact that she was having a nightmare even during the daytime now didn't bother her as much as the scene that followed the descent of the acid rain. "Li Feng, what's going on?" She asked through their mind link. "Saintess, there's not much time. You need to leave this Long Mansion to become strong enough to face the future. At the moment, that's all I can tell you. The rest depends on you and your decision." Li Feng sighed. What's to come will come. The only difference will be how you will face it. Saintess, everything is in your hands now. Qing Yue absentmindedly gazed at her clenched hands, her mind repeating the words of the spirit. 'Not much time? So that horrid image...' She shivered when the image resurfaced in her mind again. She didn't have much time, that much she understood. She raised her head and held her husband's gaze. "Yue'er, what's wrong?" Long Tian felt unsettled. He had never seen such

Chapter: ApologyWith her exam out of the way, Qing Yue felt more relaxed.She left the white room in a good mood and found her husband."Done?""Um! I'm done. Long Tian, I...I want to live on campus." Qing Yue didn't have the confidence to bring up this topic before. But now that she knew there would not be any problem with her admission, she decided to break this news to her husband.It was time for her to experience life outside of her father and her husband's shelter."Live on Campus!? Yue'er...you!" Long Tian was caught off guard.He wasn't expecting to hear something like this from his wife. They had only become close recently. He was looking forward to spending more time with her to deepen their bond.But she wanted to live on campus? Did she not like his advances?At this thought, Long Tian became nervous.He didn't want his wife to live outside of Long Mansion because of his actions."Yue'er, is it...is it because o

Chapter: Re-Examination 2Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement, causing Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal. Even after looking at herself in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My face was horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who had told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this moment, she was certain they'd faint from a heart attack. Qing Yue he

Chapter: Re-Examination 1Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult. What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath! "Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really. But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze. "You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked. "Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough." "Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances. But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile. They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time
