Away From Eden Friendship
How could I kill a friend who had just saved me a while ago? Carsen thought to himself. His eyes lifted to stare at Jiggs's face. He saw sadness. He saw fear and hesitation. "Hit me now!" Carsen uttered in an authoritative tone. But Jiggs shook his head. He doesn't want to hurt him. The boundless beings who were watching them got pissed. They wanted a scene, an action. But it seems that these two players won't be giving them what they wanted. They whined. They threatened them with the consequences in case they refuse to fight each other, but still, Carsen and Jiggs weren't moving. Both are hesitating. None of them wanted to inflict hurt on the other. -----Sareash Sareash got pissed off then. If nothing happened now, for sure his group will suffer. And he doesn't want that. Is this how humans are? Emotional? He thinks. Looking at the player's faces could tell that they were disturbing some forlorn emotions in him he doesn't want to confront. Compassion. Friendship. L
Away From Eden Leveling Up
A world of free commodities is just a dream. That kind of world doesn't exist for the basic principle in this human world is, you get to eat through your sweat. All comes with a price. All comes with a condition, and though Jimmie's new world order doesn't require money for people to have food, clothings and shelter, yet the exchange of that was more than money -- their identity, their freedom. The perfect world was just therefore an illusion. Yeah, it doesn't exist. Not here. Yeah, Eden, this human world is no paradise. Maybe at one point, it was...It was before when the universe realms and the lands therein are all living in peace. Carsen darted a glare at Sareash astonish at what he uttered. Trading. It seems that this word has been engraved deep in the boundless' system, or perhaps the Vilgroi had influenced them much. Trading. Bargaining. These are what he is trying to do right now. Right now that he knows he's not gonna win over him. Right now that he's captured by
Away From Eden Look What I Have Become
Boom!!Panic had broken out in the tranquil underground hiding place at the sound of bombs detonating.Robin acted as if it was no big thing, saying, "Don't worry folks, that's just another plane crashing down because it has no gas." The number of times it occurred today seemed to increase with each passing instance.There is chaos in the streets of El Rotosi, and in the Lord's shelter, even in Jade Peaks, even in the areas of the Castellans. Some media networks were forced to cease operating. There has been an unexplainable death toll arising. Fear is creeping into the houses of whatever hierarchies. There is a mysterious murder going on. Every night whether cries or agonizing screams were heard and dead bodies resurfaced in a day. " What are the small holes in their flesh?" Robin asked the crime scene investigator. Yet no one could confirm what really is the thing that's doing the killing. No one can, maybe, unless the murderer showed up in the day, or showed up front. But t
Away From Eden We Decide To Be The Game Masters
"Hey girl! Janesi...do you still remember us?" Lizie tried to act light. But Janesi isn't even turning to look at her. She was heading to no one's voice only to Sareash. And Sareash was talking to her in a language the players don't understand. Except for Carsen, of course, he gets all that Sareash was saying to Janesi. He understands that he was commanding him to kill them. Looking at Janesi, Carsen knows that she is under Sareash influence. He perhaps had used that hypnotic language on her. "Who do you wanna challenge then?" Sareash asked JanesiAnd she pointed to Carsen. Sareash burst a laugh. "Okay, let the battle begin!" Sareash yelled. Janesi removed the gloves in her fists and swung a strong right as she rushed. Carsen, actually has no plans of combating her so he was firm that he's not going to use his ability. Expect this duel would be more like a fist fight. Carsen met her halfway and responded with a blow of his own. His blow was quicker and made the Janesi fl
Away From Eden Allegiance
" I'll ask you one question. Are you gonna be one of us? Or I will kill you?" Carsen's hoarse threatening voice honestly give chills to his bones Sareash stuttered in reply, " w..what?" He has seen Carsen's nebula eyes numerous times. Sometimes the manifestation of his strength intimidates him, and most of the time he can just ignore it, but now is different. Carsen Adam...what should he call it? Has he cultivated his power? Has his strength leveled up this time? Why is he giving such feelings? Sareash thought to himself. Carsen pressed the blade on Sareash's neck, and repeat what he was asking. Sareash composed himself and tried to draw out courage within, and flashed an "as if unbothered smirk". " This isn't Ethereal land...Emanator? You do not have dominion here," Sareash replied, and twists Carsen's hands. The duel began. " First, I am a boundless being. Second, conditions applied to our surrender!" Sareash ranted while Carsen's feet slid creating friction on the sand.
Away From Eden The Timeless Forest
Timeless forest? The players have the same question in mind yet for sure they know since this is the last party venue, this place will be more perilous than the previous venue they have been to. " aiónios.." Carsen mumbled. " means timeless...okay so that explains why that tavern was named that way...a timeless tavern, wondering what's inside," he muttered. They entered a primitive, oak-brown forest. Due to the recent dry spell, the grass they walked on felt crackly under their feet. The magnitude and magnificence of the trees left them speechless. As far as their head could lift, their tangled arms continued to rise higher. The trees stood boldly like ancient strongholds. They abruptly ceased the chorus of birdsong they were hearing from them. There are even wild birds that sound creepy and were shrieking loudly in the tree canopy, high up. While some scavengers hideously crawled beneath their feet as if always searching for a meal of feathers with their icy, corvid gaze. Scave
Away From Eden Commotion In The Tavern
The usual atmosphere in the tavern was interrupted when a crowd clashed with a group at the other table. Even the players' meeting was placed on pause. They continued discussing thinking that the commotion has nothing to do with them, but it heated up, and the shoutings become even more hostile. " Let's get out of here..guys," Lizzie suggested, knowing she's a peaceful person, such a scenario is a great disturbance to her. The others agreed with her. But just when they stood from their seat. A glass landed, hitting Janesi's head. Sensing some blood on her face, Janesi's anger flared up, and before her co-players stop her, she was already there at the other table confronting the quarreling group. But the group of drunkards was mean and unforgiving. They were instead taunting and provoking which made Janesi's temper flare up even more. The next thing is she grabs a bottle and smashes it on the head of one of them. There was a pause. Perhaps they couldn't believe such boldness would
Away From Eden The Lost Angels
Sareash And Saskia" Tell me boundless...tell me, angel...of that melody your soul refuse of singing about," Carsen muttered. As Sareash looks into Carsen's eyes while his nebula eyes shimmer a hypnotic force seemed to drag him. Carsen or should he say Prime Emanator is reminding him of things he has intentionally forgotten. " Saskia...is not my twin brother anymore," Sareash mutteredWhat should he say? They were close as they were in their mother's womb, yeah they were close as that long before the Vilgroi came to their land and poisoned the will of the physical boundless. He was resistant. But Saskia was not. He was welcoming. Sareash wondered why his brother has a different perspective about rumors of the Vilgroi's invasion in the universe realms. " Why do you sound like a fan of his?" Sareash blurted. " Do I? What's wrong with what he's doing anyway?" Saskia answered. " What's wrong?" Sareash exclaimed. He couldn't believe what he was hearing from his brother. " The V

His Paradise
Everything in the cosmos has become a void. Almost a third part of it has fallen into blackness and emptiness. At this moment, Prime had been transported back to planet Earth but nothing was left in there. This planet has been long in desolation but this time it is very different, even dreadful, even emptier from the previous. Perhaps this is the earth's worst state. The planet has come into the void, and what was left were just vast barren, dry lands. There's not even a single drop of water. The planet is no longer the blue planet, the life-sustaining, and Prime knows that it would be just an hour before this entire land would disappear, and this planet would turn into just -- "a darkness", like those what happened in the cosmos. Seeing the planet's most devastating state, seeing its travail, and dying state, Prime couldn't help but be overwhelmed by emotions. He's late. There's not even a single life he had caught in here when he arrived, and that's so disappointing. Remorse, yeah, h

The High Council's realm is a serene scenery. It is so beautiful that it gives the beings there a sense of peace. It also has a kind of vibe that will make anyone feel in awe and somehow hesitant. But Prime Emanator has been used in this place. He no longer felt any intimidation. He moved inside. His steps were sure to where he was going -- to the Council hall. When he arrived there, he was met by a group of creatures in their human-like figure, yet their aura tells they aren't humans. "Oh, so gate did not reject you!" one of the Council commented. "We can see that you are now completely back, Emanator," one said. Prime ignored their comments. He has no time for that. "I bet you all know why I'm here," he said. The council who were sitting at the center seat raised his eyebrow for Prime's snobby attitude. "Careful, know where you are and who you are talking to," said the council. Prime scoffed, " I wonder if you still could act like high and mighty when all of us here got w
- Away From Eden
The Song Of Destruction
The stability of the planet was just a temporary relief but it was never the cure to what Earth is going through right now. Today is another menial day for the people. Some were bustling down the streets. At least now, though in a short time, city streets had become alive, again. Though there were remains of ruined buildings, at least the streets are no longer ghost towns. People are starting to go out and live their normal human lives. Friends and families gathered for a common work, for a meal, while the rest of humanity are beginning to get up again. It was particularly interesting to watch everyone having life in these busy streets, some walking busy, some walking leisurely, they're the symbol that the planet is now recovering. "This is disheartening to see," Talyn whispered. She was there in the side street, observing, and perhaps guarding. Usiu didn't reply for he felt the same way too. These humans didn't know that the peaceful lives they were enjoying now were just tempora

The Final Becoming
"So, how would I achieve that kind of state?" Carsen asked Tadhiel. He flexed his grip and his Mithril came out. Tadhiel clicked his tongue, " That's not just that," he muttered shaking his head. Carsen's brows furrowed, "What then?" he asked. "The battle you'll be in in the next days no longer needs combat, but it will be a battle of abilities, of powers. If you really want to stop the Vilgroi, you need to surpass him," Tadhiel explained. Then, his gaze trailed at Carsen from head to toe. " Aside from that the High Council will reject you, you won't win against the Vilgroi with that state of yours, so human, or a superhuman? No," Tadhiel stated. Carsen sighed, "Okay, so what are we going to do here?" "I will guide you in tapping into your full state as Prime Emanator," Tadhiel said. "Uh, but wait, erasing my humanity would that mean I'll forget all my memories as Carsen Adams?" he asked. Tadhiel chuckled, "No, you're not like the Vilgroi, that thing happens only when on

The Song Of Destruction
The gathering of all the gems in the pillar was the collapse of the entire game world. Because of that, no game realms would exist on planet Earth no matter how powerful the Vilgroi and his boundless are. Carsen and the Outsiders made sure of that. With the help of the supplies and lands they personally cultivated, and together with those gems, the Outsiders were able to at least restore the planet's vegetation a little. Such a thing has a big impact on human lives for that means, now supplies, food and all the basic necessities they need for living would no longer be denied of them. For a little time, the world was back to its normal state where the people's lives had been lived normally like before Jimmie Vaughn rose to power. However, Carsen Adams, and the Outsiders, know that this isn't the end yet, that there's still a threat out there, and perhaps there will be until the Vilgroi is alive. "It's like there's an eternity in each sound in this moment here in this farm," Uncle Br

Outcast And Forbidden
Now Carsen is on his way to the trail to the pillar to collect the last gem he needed on it, the cruxible. "This is perhaps the last time I will be helping you dude," Takii said to Carsen. "I'm already quite obvious to the other hunters." Carsen tapped Takii's shoulder, " It's fine, bro, thanks for this anyway," he said. "But if I may ask, the game hunters, what are they?" Takii's brows furrowed, " What do you mean, what are they?" "What are they? Like are they like you? A human?" Carsen asked. Takii laughed, " Of course, but unlike the players, we weren't given choices to side with. Our allegiance must be with Jimmie Vaughn alone, and what I'm doing now would certainly risk my life." Carsen sighed, " This is the last time you'll going to be doing this anyway," he muttered. The trail to the pillar is extremely dangerous compared to the others he has gone to. Takii told him that it was a different world there beneath the portal, yet he needed to accomplish it all in a design

" I'm opening the cell gate now, master, but I can't guarantee your powers will work out fine when you guys come out," Talyn informed Carsen. They were still communicating through telepathy. "It's okay, Tal, I don't have time to play this game, can you give me some information about those voices we heard in our headphones?" Carsen asked. Talyn swiped the large monitors in front of her, and as she did so, certain images popped out on the hologram screen. She was quite surprised to see who were those. "Uhm..master based on the voice recognition here, it's Adeleum and Mihr," she told Carsen. "Adeleum? Mhir?" Carsen muttered. "Mihr?" Usius interrupted when he heard what Carsen had just uttered. Carsen turned to him and asked, " Yeah, why?" Usiu's eyes gleamed at the recognition of an old friend's name. Yeah, how could he forget such a name? Mihr and he grow up together in their realm. He was a childhood friend. Mihr even learned first to sing than him. He used to look up at hi

Carsen's eyes lit up as he sensed the Adeleum and Mihr's arguing. Although it isn't clear to him who's the creatures behind manipulating them into this game, he could sense right now, that whoever is behind this, they're not on good terms. My ability is working despite the unknown. Now, what I needed to know was to learn who are the boundless behind this! Sadly, I can't communicate with Talyn. Carsen thought to himself. The cell gate sounded again. This time, the game soldiers are fetching another player. The players hold their breath, expecting that one of them will be chosen to face their death. "It's now your turn, doctor!" Todd was startled at what he heard on his headphones. His face went pale in fright. He looked around as if asking for help from his fellow players but he knew that they couldn't. Todd looked back at his co-players when the game soldiers took him. Meanwhile, Dizal banged the cell in frustration. "We must get out of here!" he muttered. He then turned to C

The cell gate opened. The players all hold their breath anxiously. This time, the first one to play was called. It was Jair. Hearing that, Lizzie broke out in tears and begged she'd replace him instead but the operators were too deaf. It's unusual this time that there aren't any explanations or rules given before they were called out, before the start of the game. The more reason that the players get nervous. They wonder about the uncertainty, and they know its possible danger so it's scaring them. The rest of them remained quiet, while others had violent reactions. Like Lizzie who was crying on the floor now, and Dizal who was hitting the cell door and cursing at the cameras above them. While Carsen on the other hand just sits calm, thinking in the corner. "Urgghh!!! Let us all out of here!" Dizal was screaming. He tried to throw some force field on the cell bars but it just bounced. The prison cell where they are held is indeed resistant to their ability as Carsen said. Aside from
