“You're done. Now, its my turn!” Shawn said as an evil smile played on his lips.Shawn had caught the gun of Paolo with his bare hands, closing the opening of the gun. Paolo had kept on firing, unable to think clearly. The bullets kept passing through Shawn's palm, leaving a big hole. Now hearing the words of Shawn was akin to hearing the devil's own voice inviting you to dine with him in hell. Paolo almost shat in his pants.“N.. no, stay away from me!” Paolo stuttered as his face lost all it's blood in fear. Never before has he been this scared, but then again, never again has he come face to face with the devil himself.He could not help but step back like a frightened bunny. His heart thumped like crazy, and he could feel his health getting worse. Paolo's head also started spinning as he started feeling sick. This was a nightmare. It wasn't a variant but a grim reaper. He knew about a few variants, but none of them were this frightening. The teenage boy in front of him was certain

[PRESENT WORLD]Maximus was dressed in a golden spandex with two katana strapped on his back. He looked the Olympian sun god Apollo.He walked into the military meeting room and sat down opposite Major Diamond who was dressed in a tight black spandex. They were about thirty individuals in the room and the weakest was of peak stage Grandmaster-rank. Maximus greeted them with a nod and kept quiet. He knew nothing of battle plans, and this was one of the things he was jealous of the Vengeance god.“The gold mine is located on the outskirt of Triton City, a full squad was sent to check it out but only one returned with massive injuries. He claimed that the mine is infested with monsters unlike he had ever seen before. All these monsters are of grandmaster-rank and some are of saint rank. Right now the Emperor has provided us with the state-of-the-art weapons and armor. But be careful, the survivor said that the mine is weird and somehow transported them to a different plane where they now

[HOLLOW REAPER. by: Clarke Sand]“Ghost, can you hear me?”Michaelis heard the voice of a teenage girl through his earpiece.“Loud and clear, pink.” Michaelis said while adjusting the tie looking at the mirror. A handsome young man of late twenties stared back at him.“I do look good.” Michaelis grinned at his reflection.“What was that, Ghost?”“Nothing. Has the target entered the building yet?” Michaelis asked as he looked at his Rolex.“Not yet but he will, in a couple of minutes.”Pink was Michaelis wing-woman or wingman, in case Pink was using a voice modulator to sound like a girl.In Michaelis' line of work, anonymity was extremely important. Until now, he didn't meet or know anything about Pink just as she didn't know anything about him, except his codename. The face in the mirror was just a disguise as Michaelis had never revealed his true face to anyone.“Remember, the client wants you to eliminate the target before he gives the speech.”“Roger!”Michaelis took a last glance

After crawling away from the river, Michaelis found a big tree and sat under it to familiarize himself with the system.“Hey system, come up.” he ordered in his mind as the interface popped up before him. He could see the tabs such as Host, shop, storage, subordinates, and upgrades.Michaelis looked left and right to see if anyone or anything was coming but weirdly everything seemed paused.«While you access the system, the time will be momentarily slowed down until the host quit the system.»“Wow, cool!” his brows raised in surprise hearing the robotic voice.“Open host.”The system opened the host tab and like in roleplaying games, his naked body appeared before him along with his stats.«Host: MichaelisRace: HumanRank: Foundation stage, level 1Experience points: 4,000/20,000Reaper points: 0Current skills: NoneOccupation: NoneStatus: HealthyGoals: NoneNotable skills: Above average in marksmanship, proficient in close combat.»“Proficient huh?”Ramiel's skills merged with hi

[Moments Before]Michaelis was searching his mind to find anything that could help him survive in this world while the heavy rain was pouring from the sky. On earth, he would spend most of his time preparing before he actually eliminating the target. He deeply valued Intel and preparation but after searching his mind, he couldn't help but feel extremely unprepared.“Am I missing Pink?”He shook his head.“Hey, system, what happened to my body back in my world?”«The Host's body was disintegrated during the crossing over.»“Well, at least my reputation won't take a hit and those losers won't find me.”Since his body was destroyed, the cops and the federal agents won't find him and he would still remain as a myth, a ghost to them who had a hundred percent success rate in assassinations. While proudly grinning about his reputation, he suddenly heard footsteps and hissing sounds.He quickly checked the other branches near him to see if there's a snake nearby but when he focused, he found
