Philip hadn’t even finished his sentence when everything in the room started trembling, everything was enveloped in a pressure so strong that even taking a breath in there was proving to be difficult, it can squish a person like an ant, but Philip stood there like a rod which wouldn’t bend. He kept his stare on the guy, the senior also stared at him for a while. The stand-off remained for a while before the senior removed that pressure, he leaned against the chair as he sighed. "You are a good guy, Philip. Don't involve yourself in this mess." Philip looked at the senior for a while, standing there for a moment before leaving his office. He was very disappointed by what was happening and even more so that their department, whose sole purpose was to prevent such situations, was allowing it to happen. "What happened, captain?" Diana followed Philip, who was thinking about what to do next. "A hunt" Diana was confused at first about what he meant, but then her expression changed dras

Neo kept his eyes on the host for a while, while the host maintained his smile. He then walked back toward Selene and sat next to her, waiting for the first round to start. The leader of rock folks also came out of his daze and went back to his seat, still trembling by what he experienced. His companions were the same as the Fear Aura enveloped everyone of them. They didn't utter a word, in case it irritated the devil and he would use that skill/ability on them again. Neo looked at the participant and saw the arena trembling. He found the area of the arena increasing as the walls rose and a giant maze formed. 'Space Expansion?' {I would say Space Distortion.} Whatever it was, the arena expanded to a mile long and a mile wide as for the height. It was hundreds of meters high, but the participants and spectators outside could see everything like it was happening before their eyes. It was like they were walking alongside the participant.

But Neo didn't give it a chance to take a breather, as he arrived next to it, putting his head on the back of his head and smashing it into the ground. The host felt its vision blurring, and everything dizzy as it tried to make sense of things and tried to retaliate. It stood back up with a roar and attacked but only got gifted with a punch to the face, which should've broken the bones, but then even if it was weakened; it was a high rank evolver, so it could take some beating and Neo was counting on that as he kicked the guy away. The host finally got some time and roared once more before it attacked Neo. It punched, the target being his face, but alas, its whole life was built around magic skills and tricks, so it had little experience when it came to close quarter combat. Neo dodged and grabbed its arm in a lock and punched it from under the arm, an uppercut. The contact made its teeth clung together, because its tongue in between those teeth; it got cut as blood started coming o

The host wondered how they even survived till here."Well, whatever. There are many talented faces in this batch."It saw other people building shelters as they had brought water with them, which might be because they were well-informed of the pattern. And hunters were also good at their job as they had already started their hunt.One of them was even closing in on the duo, which made it shake its head. It knew that those two would soon be either miserable or dead.It set the game in such a way that the hunters would've 10% of their stats kept from the start and if they find the item, it'll unlock it further to 20%.Neo stopped walking, he looked to his left and could see two figures closing in on them."Time to warm up a little."The two beings, both of them, had blue skin and a jaw so wide that you can fit a watermelon in it. With rows of teeth, their eyes slit like a snake, they looked at the two menacingly as they stopped before the duo.Neo saw a red triangle over their heads, li

He laid her down on the makeshift bed gently, looking at her one more time before starting looking for the problem that he had delayed for a long time now.He wanted to find out what was causing his pain receptors to be inactive. This was really proving to be an issue, especially in a fight where even a single mistake would be life-threatening.{I almost got banged up in the Sixth Fable because of this.}He remembered when a large group of bipedal rhinos cornered him, making him shiver.'Let's see.'Neo scanned his body as he had almost exhausted his mana, leaving a little behind so that he wouldn’t fall in to the depravity state. This made it easy for him to navigate through, as the mana he had before was like a traffic jam. Now there were only 2 to 3 cars on that road, looking around without getting hit has become easy now.'What's this?'Neo, after searching, was looking at the blockage that he found when he traced a nociceptor to the spinal cord but just before that signal reached
