Away From Eden Next game - Limbo
"Guys...is this really a limbo game? Or we're going to be tossed to be sliced under it?" Lizie commented. The limbo bar isn't just a fine smooth stick they used to play during high school outings. Now, it's different. In this game world, in this new party venue - the Sandbar, expect that the fun party game is going to be morbid. The limbo bar here is more like a chainsaw hanging horizontally, which at any moment could fall on whoever would pass beneath. The players were quite frozen on their feet. They're hesitant and undeniably scared. Though they weren't ordinary, their abilities won't guarantee their safety for they had experienced how the game goes before. There are always surprises. Besides this party venue - the Sandbar restricts their abilities in some cases. Clearly, they are being toyed in here. After Harpie explained the rules of the game, next that hovered in the atmosphere is the automated voice that signals that the game is about to start. "I'll go first!" Jiggs m
Away From Eden Last Phase of The Limbo Game
"Sh***! the game master is the first one I'm gonna kill once I'll be out of this game world!" Jair muttered. Harpie burst a laugh. She wasn't threatened by what she heard. She was watching the players right now in the system control room. It has never been this satisfying, watching them fall, rise, and struggle. Their anguish. The fear on their faces and the hope they tried to kindle. Here in his father's control room, she felt like she was a god. It's her who decides what tragedy will fall on the game world. "But...you were there, and I am here," Harpie muttered, staring at Jair's face on the huge monitor screen. The she burst out a menacing laugh. She rose from her seat, andt patted the operator's back. "Execution time," she whispered to the operator and leave. -----Meanwhile, the players were unsure if they were still in the Sandbar. What is clear now is that, they were trapped in this enormous aquarium. Carsen tried to break the glass with his Mithrill. Nothing happ
Away From Eden The Nipana Sheet
"Why are you quiet there?" Jiggs interrupted Carsen's thought. Carsen shook his head. " Nothing..." he forced a smile. " I'm thinking if we could go out and find something to eat while the voice isn't calling us for the next game," he suggested. " Yeah! That's brilliant!" The other players agreed. The Nipana Sheet is one true beauty. The wide thick sheet of glacier laid on the earth ground was perfect, escpecially now that the sun was up there striking snow. The air was cold. Yet, there's not a tree noe animals around. That's the downside here. This place is more like just a paradise of ice. "Maybe we need to look further!" Lizie suggested pointing at the end of the vast ice. " Maybe there are trees in there...and some hervibores," she muttered. It took them a long time until they find some wood sticks to lit a fire."Wait!" Carsen muttered. He noticed foot prints on the ice. It seemed of a four legged animal. Then they heard screeching sound nearby. He flexed out h
Away From Eden The Ability To Manipulate Disease
FlashbackAmong the race of the boundless, the physical boundless are considered the weakest it was because they have a more solid physical form, and this form was viewed as most vulnerable compared to other boundless. The differences in the physiology of the boundless beings caused division in them. There has been a cold war, a separation, although they live in the same realm, and belong to the same race. Yet at this time, the entire universe realms are still at peace, and though there is division among the boundless still they can't afford to engage in a war. The boundless beings tried to be united and peaceful despite the tension. Aside from that, they're the kind who doesn't like chaos. Though they have lots of internal issues, they still choose to hold unto their innate virtue as peaceful beings in the entire universe realms. But that was until the Vilgroi declared insurgency against the High Council and against all the realms in the universe. If there's something that can easil
Away From Eden Hopeless
"We came here to give you your freedom," Usiu said. The boundless smirked. " Freedom? We don't need those! We're fine here!" Usiu then manifested his halo, engulfing himself in that circular round energy of his. "Have you forgotten that scars in your palms originally look like this one?" he said. But there was no reaction in the boundless. Assesing at how they looked, Usiu could tell they were spiritual boundless. Their form was either tangible or non. It was surreal. It was in between. But this kind of boundless was considered the strongest in the boundless realms. Their elder Tadhiel was the strongest among them. But where is he? "Where are the others?" Usiu asked. "Others?" " The other boundless," " Boundless? What is that?" Usiu's eyes widened. He looked at Talyn as if wanting to say something. Now they understand how these boundless beings become Vilgroi's servants. They forget who they were. So, this is the effect of the Harlot Song? Usiu thinks. He doesn't re
Away From Eden Bad Game
The game operator was hesitant about whether he will obey Harpie's order or not. Somehow, he's still human. He can feel mercy. And right now it seemed not a moral decision to throw the players into another game with their bodies being sick. How can they exactly play? Except that their frail bodies will be just torn by the perilous game system. But he is here too without choice, trapped by Harpie's wicked scheme. He had seen what she had become and he knows what she is now. Death is his only choice if he'll defy her. But---The game operator sighed. " Yeah, m--master," he hesitantly replied, hiding the hesitation on his face. Harpie then curved a menacing smile. "Good," she patted the game operator's shoulder, and she heard the recording of her own voice being played in the game world as she exits the system control room. This will be my last day, but I cannot betray my race. The game operator thinks. He glanced nervously at the door where Harpie exits checking if she had comp
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

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

Void
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
