At World's End Entry 163
Dressed in a patient’s garb, she sat on a wheel chair with a table filled with dishes beside her.Bread, potatoes, rice… you name it, yet the lady didn’t bat an eyelid as she stared at the window.Looking closely it seemed as though some of the food had gone bad and because of that, a foul smell covered the room.However, this didn’t affect the lady as she merely blinked once or twice due to her eyes stinging as a result of the smell of course.The room she was in had a bed, a toilet and bathing area.On the walls, a grey paint was used and there were no aesthetic pieces to be seen.The room itself was barely enough to fit 50 people but since not much was in the room in the first place, it seemed pretty spacious for one person.The woman sat in the chair for a long while, not making an attempt to move from that spot.Just then, there was a knock at the door followed by a joyful voice coming from outside.“Mom, I’m home!”Without waiting for a response, the person on the other end turn

“Mom, how was it?” Leah asked after having lunch with her sick mother.It had always been like this ever since the illness her father gave her mother took effect.In fact, it was much worse to say the least.She was bedridden at that time, unable to move while going through excruciating agony.It was a terrifying sight Leah had to watch happen before she gave into her father’s sick and twisted desires.Was there a need to go so far?She would never know.However what she did know was that her father, the Storm Family head had caused her and her mother so much pain, killing him would be mercy.Naturally, Leah wished revenge but she knew it couldn’t happen yet.She definitely had the qualifications to be a god killer.Her father had made sure of that but unfortunately, she couldn’t utilize that capability just yet.With training, she would surely reach that peak but right now, even facing off against her older siblings was asking for too much.Glancing at her silent mother, Leah sighed.

“He is Marcus.” Jeremy replied casually as he proceeded to take his seat with Marcus doing same.Reginald watched them sit and after watching for a bit longer, move over to take a seat as well.“So what brings you here?” Reginald inquired out of curiosity.Jeremy sighed. “I’m sorry to come like this but I need your help.”“You need my help?” Reginald raised a brow in surprise at the sudden request.Ever since the newbie massacre, he hasn’t spoken to Jeremy.Himself, Veronica and Jeremy had all gone their separate ways after the incident without as much as a word said between themselves.In a way, they blamed themselves for surviving where their comrades died.It was painful as they had to relive that day for quite some time.The nightmares, the voices… it was a miracle they hadn’t lost their minds yet from the constant torture.In any case, it had been so long since Jeremy and Reginald had conversed and so it was strange that Jeremy would be back now, asking for a favor.In any case,

“You heard about the fire?” Jeremy inquired with a raised brow.Reginald nodded. “It was a dangerous affair after all. It’s one of the few times when an entire floor was threatened. If anything had gone wrong, we would have seen casualties in the thousands.”“I agree. And that was just a side effect.”“A side effect, you say?” Reginald raised a brow.Jeremy replied. “Yeah. Apparently, Marcus only had to kill some mafia leader that had his hands on the black market on that floor, engaging in unsavory activities including drugs, prostitution and slavery.”“that… wait, you said the orb is a Vestige?” Reginald asked.Jeremy nodded. “it is.”“so how did he use it?... Aren’t Vestiges objects that only react to variance?... So how did he activate it?”“I have no idea.” Replied Jeremy in all honesty.He was also quite curious to figure out how it happened.It was a known fact that even ordinary Explorers could not use Vestiges because of their lack of variance.But Marcus managed to do so des

It all happened so suddenly.One moment, the thugs were trying to take down Jeremy and Marcus to take away their belongings and the next moment, they were writhing on the floor like worms that had salt poured in them.As they groaned and gasped for air, Jeremy looked on with an expressionless look on his face.Meanwhile, Marcus was somewhat terrified.Just what power had Jeremy used?He couldn’t even begin to fathom it.But then he wondered. If he had such an ability… wouldn’t Ria still be alive now?Wouldn’t he have been able to save Ria and ensure nothing happens to her?As that thought came, Marcus found himself pondering on it more and more until he could hardly think of anything else.Then he heard Jeremy’s voice. “This not power you should hope for.”His voice snapped Marcus out of his reverie, causing him to realize that he had Ben staring off into nothingness for a bit too long.Then he glanced at Jeremy who was staring intently at him.“how did you do that!” Marcus immediatel

Veronica sighed as she rose from her bed and walked over to the door to open it only to find her father standing outside.“Dad, you?” Veronica said.Her father nodded. “Were you sleeping?”“No… not yet.” Veronica shook her head in response.“I thought as much. Alright, let me come in first.” With that said, he casually entered without giving Veronica much of a choice to refuse or anything of that sort.She watched on as he sat on her bed and made himself comfortable before tapping on the bed.“Come sit.”Veronica pursed her lips before letting out a sigh. “still as intrusive as ever.”Sitting beside her father, she waited for him to talk.He pondered for a bit before he spoke. “how are you feeling?”“Fine.” Veronica replied.Her father glanced at her and after a bit of scrutiny, shook his head. “that’s a lie.”“If you already know, then why ask?”“To know if you are willing to tell yourself the truth.”“…The truth is too painful to accept.”Her father stared at her solemn face and aft

It was a simple plan with a simple purpose in mind.Reginald, Veronica and Jeremy.These three had abandoned the pain and suffering from that time during the newbie massacre to come together for a singular reason.What was the reason you might ask?... It was purely revenge.Revenge for their fallen comrades that had died unjustly at the hands of scheming bastards that hid within the shadows.The fact that they had found out whom the perpetrators were made it all the more better.At least they wouldn’t move like headless flies.Now they could move with the desire to kill the one that caused them the grievance they were still suffering even as they sat in Jeremy’s room, talking with smiled on their faces.Leah hadn’t been fooled when she saw them smile and laugh so energetically.It was most likely because they didn’t want her to worry.Unfortunately, she no longer had eyes that could be deceived.Leah only listened to the hearts of those she communicated with and currently, as she list

The Otherworldly were graded according to a system created by mankind after constant bouts with them.From E, it ascended thusly; E, D, C, B, A, S, SS and lastly Godspawn.Two things were used in the grading process.One was the destructive capabilities of said monster while the second was the utility of their ability.Which meant a flame monster could be lesser than a monster that can’t be seen simply because the monster that can’t be seen won’t be easily beat.For the flame monster, there would surely be ways to counter since it’s seen but the other… the first step would be to see it no?Other criteria was put into consideration as well, like how hard was it to kill one or like how fast were their regenerative capabilities.Of course this applied to most Otherworldly.Yes, most.The SS and Godspawn were different.They were a class that defied natural laws and created conundrums that defied everything humanity had come to understand.The difference between an SS and a Godspawn was t
