I nodded in understanding as I glanced back at the sword… I mean, the Purifier.“so what are it’s specs?” I casually inquired.Madden replied after staring at the sword briefly. “It destroys everything designated as negative.”“I don’t understand.” I grew confused at the strange description.“It destroyers based on sin. So if you cut a person and that person has sinned, it judges those sins and decides the best punishment for them.”I blinked a few times before muttering. “a strange sword indeed.”“indeed it is. Only it judges what is impure and negative and most times than not, it would destroy the source without fail. Even excessive good is regarded as impure by it.” Madden explained.I pursed my lips and considered. “Am I subject to it’s judgement?”“It depends. If you are indeed sinless by its standards, then you would be worthy to wield it. If you are not… as long as you haven’t don’t anything terrible, it won’t kill you.” Madden remarked.“Ah, delightful.” Though its attribute w

“…how have you been?” I asked, flashing a smile as I reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder.Lincoln beamed as he replied. “Great!... We have so much to talk about.”“We do?” I jokingly inquired.“indeed.”A baritone voice responded causing my heart to palpitate.It was more shock at how deep the voice was.I glanced to the side and couldn’t help but suck in cold air.Reginald was a complete beast!He looked more like a barbarian at this point with his overly grown copper hair and his muscular physique that made him larger than even the Headmaster.I gulped instinctively as I asked. “Reginald?”The muscular man nodded, leaving me speechless.“The GRE. Our appearances have changed because of it.”This time, an overly sensual voice entered my ears and I found myself reacting… wrongly.Ahem.I glanced to the origin to see Veronica…. And by the gods was she a beauty.This time I gulped, not out of fear but out of a primal hunger… or should I say desire?Damn it, focus.Flashing a s

Having casually accepted everyone that asked, I was left with a full Squadron.Well, the more, the better I suppose.Without hesitation, I led them to the Headmaster’s private training hall.They seemed awed by the structure as they let out varying degrees of ohs and ahs.In any case, I quickly grouped them and gave them the first task that The Headmaster gave me when I first started.It was weird.The student had become the teacher.Well not really a teacher since these guys didn’t know anything but then again, it’s alright.Having dealt with the Normal Explorers, I was left with Lincoln, Veronica and Reginald.“alright then, so how about using your skills, let’s have an understanding of how it works and also it’s trigger as well as downside.” I casually said.Lincoln was the first to step up, mostly because he was a bit too enthusiastic to be kept at bay.“As I said, my domain is Ink and the skill I got is Stain.” Lincoln introduced with pride.“Stain?” I raised a brow.“Mn.” Lincol

With a large hammer with one end flat and the other partially pointed, Reginald stood like a god of war presiding over everything.Of course, his form would rely more on strength than anything else.It was easy to tell from the smile he had on his face. He was confident in his strength, I’d give him that.Then, finally I glanced behind me.Lincoln stood with a pair of long knives with pointed ends.They looked more like needles than actual knives to be honest.In any case, he was a bit like Veronica in regards to focusing more on speed but unlike Veronica, his skills would be more about weakening me than actually striking at me.I understood their skills enough because I was their Herald and watched them train.If it were any other, I’d need longer to deduce their strengths but for them, it was done in a flash.In any case, I held two wooden swords.Though I was used to using just one, I had to cultivate the habit of using two after all, I was no longer just a single sword user.There

The Headmaster sighed as he glanced at me. “I guess since it’s you, it won’t be bad to say anything. There is a fence that surrounds the tower. It encompasses the only land that we have been able to conquer ever since Haven was built.”“Did something happen to it?” I felt a strange sense of foreboding creep up my spine.The Headmaster nodded. “There has been a breach.”I immediately turned wide eyed at the statement.A breach?Like… the fence had been broken down?Did that mean the tower was in danger?I unknowingly let my fears affect me and immediately, my heart began to pound as though it wanted to leap out of my chest.Was this the beginning of the end?But I hadn’t gained any power yet… how could I save the tower as I am?Just then, the Headmaster spoke up. “We aren’t sure what causes the breach. What we do know is that because of the breach, the Fog has began to enter our perimeter. If we don’t do anything about it, this would mean that the Otherworldly would soon be upon us and

There were lines connected to the glass circles which crisscrossed about the suit and then finally, my face was covered by a detachable helmet with the front part of my face protected by a type of glass.It all felt pretty strange but then again, I guess it wasn’t all that bad.Gesturing for the others to try it on, several minutes later, we were all suited up in the same uniform.The suit reminded me of the suit we were shown during our tour of the Academy science district.The fateful day that would mark the start of one of the greatest trials of my life.I can still recall the awe I felt from watching an instructor get covered by the biosynthetic suit.It seemed they had perfected it.Just then, the man began to explain. “The Exo-suits are equipped to help you resist the radiation outside as well as extreme temperature changes. You have an aquatic mode that allows you swim even though you’d better not dare to do so and then it also has self repair properties and if the body is part

My first time going outside the tower.It was bound to be a novel experience and though it held dangers, I was confident and trusted in the ability that myself and my subordinates had cultivated over the last few days.As we got to the ground floor and made our way to the exit, escorted by the guards, I could feel that my palms were sweaty underneath the Exo-suit.But as the leader of this expedition, I couldn’t afford to show any weakness else the morale of the group would lessen.So gritting my teeth and clenching my fist, I took the lead and walked.Soon we arrived at a great gate.It was wide and large enough to fit at least 10 giants walking in side by side.I believe this was in case of a situation where the tower had to be abandoned.The exit had to be large enough to take a large number of people leaving at once.In any case, as we got to the gate, we went through a full physical examination before the gates were opened.And for the first time, I saw the outside world.Covered

What if right now, he is hoping for us to come and save him?Greg noticed my hesitation as he remarked. “Herald Jeremy, the entire tower is in jeopardy if we don’t complete this mission. Are you telling me that you would rather sacrifice the lives of millions of people for one man?”“This…” my lips trembled as I realized that he was right.I was wasting too much time.Knowing fully well how they would take it, I had no choice but to speak up. “Alright. We’ll keep moving forward.”“Herald!”“I understand that Marvin is a part of us but right now, it’s not about us or an individual. If we don’t do anything, the entire tower will be destroyed. I hate that I have to say it but… we can’t be that selfish.”The squad member remained silent but it was clear from her eyes that she wasn’t happy with my decision.I felt pained but I had no choice.I can’t sacrifice the tower for one man.Taking a moment to steel my nerves, I ordered. “Lets keep going.”***[Narrator’s POV]As Jerry and his group
