The Urge to Survive
Everywhere around was dark, the ominous feeling that comes with death. Bayo felt himself floating away as if being sucked up by a vacuum tube. The more he floated off, the more densely the suction became and more thicker the darkness grew.He felt... Nothing, no feeling whatsoever except that he had to survive.He had given his all. But clearly, this world had being harsh to him from the start. Disappointed, he let himself float further away, totally resigned to whatever fate awaiting him.'You have attained max growth point to evolve to Young Adult  of Iron Spike Tail Dog. Beginning evolution process.' Yasmin's voice cut in, a glimmer of hope in the dreary darkness.Suddenly, light exploded in the darkness, setting the shadows in hiding. A gravitational pull descended on him, slamming him down with tremendous force.GRRROOAAR... Bayo growled, his voice audibly rippling through the forest now. Words floated to his min

The Chase
Calm down!Calm down!!Calm down!!!Bayo heart thumped heavily. He sat down on his hunch, observing the splattered mass of a Rat head before him.Thinking back on how he had lost himself was about to delve into the meat made him cringe.Was he losing himself to animalistic instincts now?Damn!He was tempted to call Yasmin and ask for an explanation but after the soul genie had told him off, he didn't dare to.There were some things he had to figure out on his own. He rose up, shaking himself as a dog would shake off water from his body.Wait...How did I do that? That was unconscious. Oh Crap! I'm turning into a proper dog!AaGH!Bayo screamed in fear, physical howling out in the open.'I just howled, right?'In a short distance, a gruff bark sounded accompanied by thuds in the Earth. It seemed as if some sort of army was marching to him.Bayo turned to

The Game of the Wild
The two undead ants blurred across the ground, racing towards Bayo with tremendous bloodlust in their compound eyes. Behind them, at the anthill, the Queen Ant was returning into a tunnel while the army of MonsterEater ants that were marching towards him earlier began turning back to the anthill.'Just great! Now I'm considered dead meat by you all? I'll shred you to pieces, I swear.' Bayo cursed after the returning ants.But that wasn't his main focus.The First undead ant, the one he just battled with, has leapt over one of the rocks, preparing to leap over the little pool of water he had splashed in.Bracing himself, Bayo gritted his fangs when suddenly, a quick movement darted across his vision line.GBAM!The undead ant somersaulted in the air as it landed unceremoniously on the forest floor. What?In its place now, was a 3 meter long Lizard with triangle markings on its back. Each marking becoming smaller as it tran

Hunting for choice meat
The structure of Orun has been one of remarkable wonder. Built into seven layers, Orun has been known to continuously divide on itself, creating realms upon realms in itself, each realm being the equivalent of Eledumare's pet planet, Earth.The First Heavens has of a known fact being the container of the heavenly bodies such as the sun and moon that give light to Eledumare pet planet.That aside, it has also been a dwelling place for the damnable demons of darkness and a seal for the prison yard of the first creature, the owner of the dark path, the one who must not be mentioned.The prison of this being is heavily guarded by Iku, the progenitor of Death, thus making the First Heavens to be as polluted as possible by all sort of vile energies. Due to this, The First Heavens as often being dubbed as ORUN APAADI(Realm of the Unpure).The second Heavens is more of a clearer dimension even though it borders the First Heavens and is thus more popu

Ascender Talk Time
From times of old till now, Orun Apaadi has being and always being the choice hunting grounds for all creatures.Although at a risk of one being polluted by the raging dark energies that roam the demon infested lands, the immense rewards cannot be overemphasized.And as such, The BlueMoon Mercenary Alliance has gained mass levels of strength as well as wealth from hunting through the world. This is because of the ever present availability of resource rich creatures, especially Mythic Type Beasts whose understanding of laws gives almost every part of their body an astounding value.Of Course, there exists Rare Type Beasts with equal amount of value but no one would ever pray to encounter beasts of such kind.A Rare Type Beast can never be Soul Gazed and as such, no one can ever determine the true level and Powress of them except they are attacked first, which often is no nice sight.This reason is why this Rare Beasts are abandoned in Orun Apaadi an

The difference in strength
He sought to conquer all. Trixius the Great or the Mad Prime as we called him then was immensely powerful that he took on the gods himself.Perhaps, if the information hadn't reached the Irunmoles that he was ascending then no one would have been able to rally quickly against him.How did it all begin? How did the revered leader, The Elder of the Irunmole Society become an arch demon with a vow to destroy the very gods he had served?That question has always left me pondering but to no avail. I have reasoned that the mad prime had become infested by the demonic energies in Orun Apaadi but again, his soul strength was at the top of the ladder.He was a DemiGod Classed, the highest level of power any one from the lower worlds could ever achieve.That aside from the God Class, of course!At this level of strength, it is  impossible to become a tainted as one has already being able to tap into the purest form of Agbara, which i

First Law of Thermodynamics
What is strength? What is power? What is this class ranking system we all partake in?From Basic Class to God Class, one thing remains certain. That is, that strength is valued above everything and anything else.Anyone with a lower class is easily boxed into the corner and forgotten. But should this be the case?We, people of the lower worlds have had to endure the constant bullying by those above us. The Orishas and their unruly set of offsprings, The Emere have being a constant pain to all of us.Blessed by Eledumare with insane power levels, we can only grovel in the dust before their pre-eminence.But such should not be. We all are aware of the time when The Emeres sought to wipe almost all the Kpelekpe Race just because they put me under their care.I, who was forgotten by the gods themselves. Only until I attained certain strength did they remember that an irunmole was been bred within the Kpelekpe realm. I was there, I s

A Very Long Dusk
(Really long chapter)Bayo trudged on, dragging his injured paws on and on. He had eaten quite a munchful of those herbs and he had felt much better. Infact his paws had healed already but the aches were still there. Humping along, Bayo thought about the way on. Jaspar has directed him to go up the cliffs. Naturally, he would have refused but the dragon boy had saved him so if he said go up, then it should be worthwhile. However that didn't remove the uneasiness he felt towards the cliffs. After all, that was where he was swallowed whole plus having to face a Rat. Imagine that! Rat? That thought he looked delicious just because he was alone. Gah! As if that was not enough, he had gotten tricked by another rat. Somewhat, somehow he felt that the creatures were more intelligently dangerous. Pausing slightly, his ears tensed up, picking up sounds of low rumbling and beast activities from all around. Without wasting time, his pa

The Resource Pool
HARK! Bayo snapped his head up from the tree trunk, nodding at the brighter atmosphere of dawn.One night or dusk done...Others to come!He congratulated himself. The night... dusk had really been hectic. Twice he had had to change tree, relying on his Salamander instincts as he jumped trees. Several terrific beasts came alive in the dark of the dusk, roaring and battling each other continuously.Many a times, he'd had to cling tightly, his claws deep into the tree bark as he withstood a sudden explosion of aura, Strong enough to uproot small trees.He nodded, remembering when he had to claw at something that lashed at him, chipping off his tail at the second tree he was. Quickly, he swirled around, observing the mass of a beast before him with reptilian patience.Before charging up and leaping to another tree. He only wanted to sleep, not fight for house domination.The itch of the tail loss however, and th
