[ALTERNATE EARTH]The girls seemed to have been frightened to silliness as even Miss Diamond Johnson took several steps back till her back touched the rough wall.«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»Huh? Another eight divinity tokens? Is it so easy to raise divinity? Or perhaps the girls now see me as a real god. I didn't dwell on it, I stared intently at two of the traitors beside the platoon commander, two seconds later their heads exploded, their headless bodies slumped on the cold floor while blood and mucus splattered on the floor and on the walls behind them.«Heat vision successfully used»The girls screamed again and two girls amongst them fainted while the others were either vomiting or crying to be sent home. Again I didn't dwell on it nor adhered to their pleas as they were the one who requested for this.I focused on the platoon commander, the guard behind him was already shivering and sweating buc

Maximus' strength had shocked the entire Triton City and lots of rumors began circulating amongst the common folks as most claimed that Maximus' powers came from gold which was why even his lightening ability was gold in color, others said he was blessed deity of fortune which was why he never lacked treasures and although gold was scarce in Triton City but Maximus used gold to produce his suits, even the patriarch of several family clans now showed respect towards Maximus. One must understand that Master-rank and grandmaster-rank individuals were countless in Triton City, but saint rank were very few, in fact only the patriarch of a few family clans were of saint rank, and only Lucius Von Blake who was currently the patriarch of the Von Blake family was of sage rank, and now a peak saint rank powerhouse with uncommon lightening ability comes along, everyone wants to make a connection to this powerhouse.Maximus was currently in the Ozilla Family Villa reading a letter which was deliv

[ALTERNATE EARTH]Inside the school covered in pitch black darkness. The sound of gunshots and screams could be heard. I was sitting on a wooden chair watching the battle in front of me with glee. Kelvin Nguyen was doing his best as he fought against twelve medieval soldiers made of obsidian darkness. Standing behind me were soldiers of similar nature.Kelvin fired more shots as he dodged a sword that would have cleaved him in two. His bullets were absorbed by the black armor of the shadow soldiers. While the shadow soldiers looked unharmed, the same could not be said for Kelvin as his body was now full of ugly laceration and bloodied.“ARGHHHHH!” His scream echoed in the darkness as his right arm fell to the floor. The pain from his severed arm caused him to lose focus, thereby bringing him into a world full of pain as his left arm, right foot and left foot all came clearly apart, severed by the other shadow soldiers.I stood up from the chair and walked towards the limbless man who

*2008*Rapid footsteps could be heard as a boy ran through an alley with a cake box in his hand. His black hair was dusty and sweat covered his dark skinned face. He seemed so eager to get to his destination and not even the fatigue showing on his face could deter him. He ran as he panted till he got to a small house, he stopped and knocked.“Mom! Dad! I'm back.” his small voice rang out. This boy was (is) me. My name is Mackintosh Perch, from Central Africa and my life-changing journey begins on this day, on my birthday.A joyous day in the family as it's my birthday. I had just clocked the age of nine and my Uncle came all the way from Malaysia (Africa) to celebrate my birthday. I was greatly shocked as well as exhilarated, yet although he came bearing gifts, I still had this tingling sensation that all will soon change. I couldn't explain it but I knew he didn't come all the way from Malaysia just to celebrate my birthday, either he came with good news or it's pure bad news. Well,

The lean man looked at me with a shocked expression, he dropped the dagger, turned around and ran off down the alley.I looked at my hands, wow, I've got the strength of a raging bull. I can't explain it, but when I acted on my instinct and concentrated hard, I seem to have gained more strength and did something a normal person couldn't do.“You have my thanks, tell me, what shall I call you?”I looked at her and thought about it.“You can call me Mackintosh.” I told her my name.She was surprised“That's not a Roman name, I shall call you Maximus.”I was annoyed, why would she change my name? And who gave her the right to do so.“Hey lady, my name is Mackintosh and not Maximus.”She merely smiled“Stay calm stranger, come, I shall take you home and get a stable for your horse.”I was already pissed but I had no choice but to follow her.She casually walked towards the end of the alley which seemed to lead to another street.“You came to Rome at the wrong time stranger, the Persians a
