The snake’s crystal was huge.“It’s big as a lamb. Am I supposed to carry that big thing? Forget about convenience, fighting while carrying that will sure-fire get me killed. Wait, how am I supposed to eat that? Bit by bit?” He looked at the bird, whose crystal was smaller. “I should take that one.”As he was about to act, both crystalline horns leaked out vapors, and they shattered into pieces. “What?” Edgar’s jaw slackened. “The cores…” For a moment, he thought that the cores were gone; however, two round-shaped glowing stones shot slightly high in the air above the beasts’ heads, tiny bits of fire and electric surges still connecting it to the respective beasts. “That’s…” Edgar’s eyes lit up. “Are they the beast cores?” He had only heard

12 - A CORE THAT CRIPPLED HIM

WHIT/VKBoy

Edgar sat at the edge of a tunnel, hiding behind a protruding stone. He had been observing the rainbow-colored beast core. It was glowing and had deep colors, but it wasn’t giving off lightning anymore.“Master did tell me a lot about the cores, but I don’t quite remember the details. It’s hard to keep them in mind as he didn’t repeat those lessons.” He couldn’t help but blame his master for his own shortcomings.He looked at the worm’s core, which looked relatively bland, but he still found it a bit hard to decide between the two.“Which one should I take?“I was told it’s important as our first core will greatly impact our future, and both cores are not bad. One gives an earth ability, and the other&hell

13 - THE BLUES

WHIT/VKBoy

Forty hours after Edgar got crippled and experienced a near-death situation after consuming the thunderbird’s core.Edgar had just dodged the stinger and claws of a giant gray scorpion and struck its head with his heel. The drive that leaked out through his leg crushed its head and separated its pincers from the rest of its body. It wobbled for a while before crashing helplessly, as gray blood painted the ground.The blood stank pretty bad. Edgar had to quickly move away from there.He didn’t have a stone necklace to lead his path, but he wasn’t in as bad of a situation as he thought. Though he couldn’t see much in that darkness, he could still smell things a lot better than before. It was as if he could feel every scent flowing through his blood, helping him discover everything around him.Read more

14 - LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

WHIT/VKBoy

As darkness, devoid of love and warmth, incessantly endeavored to sink into the furthest depths of his mind, Edgar was learning things, bit by bit.In a place where light rarely ever shone, the creatures living there moved and hunted in a lot of intriguing ways. Worms used the sense of touch to not only detect the vibrations to spot the prey, but also figured out which rocks were easy to pass through. As Edgar used the holes made by these worms, he began to unravel more and more about their proceedings.He had seen shrimps feed on snails and worms at sea shore, but it was the opposite in these underground tunnels. The worms ganged up on the cave shrimps. The predator would become the prey itself more often than not.Back in shushui mountains, great-backed sloths also used to swing on healthy tree branches and avoide

15 - FEARFUL EXPLORING

WHIT/VKBoy

There were many holes in every pathway, and having fallen through many such holes in the past, Edgar had already learned how to avoid falling.“Damn, there’s no light in sight,” he lit up his hair with lightning and looked up at spaces or holes that took him higher, toward the surface.“How many days has it been since I made a viper retreat?” While keeping watch on holes beneath his feet, especially by not going any closer to those that leaked out gasses, he continued to explore.He walked on delicate pieces of random rock joining rifts, hearing his own heartbeat more than anything, for falling from such a spot would take him hundreds of feet deeper, assuming the fall wouldn’t kill him. So, he was extremely careful, as some of these rocks were creaking and moving.Read more

16 - ONE-EYED WATCHER

WHIT/VKBoy

About a month later.A bald fair-skinned girl, Fabby, was carrying a small vegetable basket, and though she looked lean, her stomach was bulging more than usual. And a one-eyed man dressed in uniform was right behind her, full of smiles, as he sang the song he himself had written or so he said. He was tall and sinewy, and he reeked of alcohol.“Wherever you goI’m right behind youWherever you areI’m not far from youWhat can I do?My heart is selfishAnd it doesn’t want to be aloneSo please fulfill this lover’s w

17 - OVERFAMILIAR VOICE

WHIT/VKBoy

As the big bat hovered crazily in the sky, the human who was dangling by its feet was clearly struggling. Not only was its speed too much, its flight force was out of his expectations. All he could do was wait for the right opportunity to jump.After some patient yet hurtful waiting, when the bat came close enough to the surface, he let go of the beast. Though he tried to land gracefully, his roll was rather clumsy, and he ended up hitting his head to the nearest boulder.“That hurts…” his whole head felt dizzy.This person standing in his leafy underpants was Edgar. The mysterious copper plate was still stuffed in the back of his underwear.There were cuts and bruises all over his legs, arms, and back, but his face and chest were clean. Though Edgar&r

18 - BURN

WHIT/VKBoy

Bittu’s back slammed against the wall before his body slid and collapsed on the floor. His eyes grew open as wide as they could from the impact, but his sight was still blurry. Blood rushed through his sedated veins, and with every fraction of a second, his sight bettered.The young man in green, Edgar, was walking straight toward him like a beast whose shackles were on the verge of breaking. The peeping heads that were looking in slackened jaws couldn’t recognize him at all, as they couldn’t quite get a full view of his face.However, that wasn’t the case for the one lying on the floor.The moment he regained his sight, Bittu’s eyes grew as wide as they could. “It can’t be…” Time slowed down from the extreme tension he felt upon slowly but surely recognizing th

19 - DEAD WEIGHT

WHIT/VKBoy

Bittu’s future was all set in stone with that one act of gouging the eye. Like a wood tossed in fire, all he could do now was burn.Seeing that pitiful state Bittu was in, Edgar’s anger softened a tad. “Your eye is gone.” He spat out the truth.Those four words crushed all of Bittu’s hopes. “No!” he cried and sobbed. “You’re lying. No!” If he had his eyeball, there was still a slightest chance of him regaining his sight, but without it, he lost that last ray of hope, as transplanting someone else’s eyes would be a lot more harder.“Take it however you want,” Edgar coldly said. “Just as much as I want to kill you, I also want you to suffer. Repent for your sins and change your ways, otherwise, the next time we meet will be your last d

20 - TEMPTING WOODS [VOL 02 - OUT AND ABOUT]

WHIT/VKBoy

Tempting Woods, the name, as per popular belief, was solely given from the slaves’ perspective, for they had always seen the woods as their means to escape. Still and all, the creatures dwelling in those woods weren’t something regular humans could hope to intimidate, let alone defeat. The only hope the slaves had was that they could somehow get through those woods without getting seen. Till date, no one knew if any slave ever made it out of the woods and stepped in the world on the other side.Currently, in the morning, Edgar and Fabby were resting outside a rather small cave tucked away in tall bushes, eating roasted meat of a boar that Edgar had caught and killed.Though Edgar was right next to her, Fabby was feeling tense. After all, there were tall trees around her in the distance. And from high up in the trees, a few monkeys were looking right
