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

    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

  • Away From Eden   The Tourney Party

    The players are all eyes on Carsen waiting for his direction. Now it was clear to them that the area they were thrown to was controlled by the Halvars. They were not transmigrated, but this particular forest and everything in here was transformed into one that looks like that of a medieval era. At least that becomes clear. It's difficult to just go on without understanding what's happening. " Welcome to my land," The beautiful Queen with a weird smile greeted them. The players waited for her to say her name or about what is she, but they haven't heard a thing except that his soldiers called her the Queen of Cards. "Queen of Cards?" Lizzie whispered to Carsen. " Back in the previous venues we have different access cards and now we have here the Queen of Cards?" she muttered with eyes rounding. "Sshhh!" Janesi darted a glare at her. " First, I would like to congratulate you all for arriving here. Not all reach this phase alive," said the Queen of Cards. " Now, my kingdom wou

    " Basic and important rule for this game is you shouldn't fall from the horse! You can fight with all the styles you want, but you shouldn't fall from the horse! If you fall, you're out! And if your team is defeated that means you will forever be locked in my kingdom, as my servants!" The Queen of Cards announced. "Challengers? Riders?" the Queen called. Then as she speaks, a group of horse riders enters the field. They are wearing a black helmets. All their bodies were covered with armor, and not even their eyes are seen. The players understand then, that this round is a group duel. Three riders versus three of them whom the Queen handpicked - Janesi, Sareash, and Jair. " So, now I'm a player? Why the Queen had included me in here?" Sareash was whining. All he was expecting was he'll be accompanying Carsen out of this game world and not be in the mess where he was. "The game master might have counted you in because they saw you're a traitor," Jair chuckled. Sareash darted a g

    " Chairman...the wielder of mythical abilities has gone stronger. His level has gone higher," one of the game operators informed Jimmie Vaughn. He was referring to Jair. " And what's worst is that he seemed now to be Carsen Adams' ally. Monitoring the recent activities in the game world it looks like Jair is now a willing-to-die disciple of Carsen Adam," the game operator added. Jimmie curled his fists. He invested much in placing hatred in Jair so he won't end up as Carsen's ally or his friend, since Jair's ability could unlock Tadhiel, and he needs Tadhiel to defeat Carsen, but now that Jair was close to Carsen, sure he won't be summoning Tadhiel to fight against Carsen. " And..Chairman, also the gamekeepers in Nipana Sheets have allied with Carsen, Sareash, and the other boundless," the operator added. "Huh? What?!" Jimmie blurted. The game operator discussed the recent happenings in the game world since Jimmie and Harpie cannot be hands-on now with such matters because o

    "How does it feel to be stuck on that body? To be clinging on that human flesh for life?" Jimmie asked Orin. His voice was filled with sarcasm. Orin knows he's referring to Lucas Wyatt's form. He knows that Jimmie now sees everything in him and that he knows how he did become Lucas. " Aren't we the same... Vilgroi?" Orin replied in a mocking tone. " How does it feel after regarding yourself as mighty yet ending up in union with that human for continuity?" Orin muttered. " I wonder if your real face will ever be seen again?" Orin added. He saw Jimmie's eyes heat. Orin knows he was greatly offended by his words. And thus, with a provoked face he touches his back, that point in his spine, and then in his grip comes out that signature weapon that his enemies are scared about -- the flute. " You've forgotten I'm greatest boundless, so it shouldn't amaze you why I can control the Niceon!" Jimmie muttered. Orin replied in smirked. " I wasn't amazed assh***!" he scoffed. And Jimm

  • Away From Eden   Tournament Party - The Queen Of Cards

    Carsen scoffed seeing Saskia enter the duel field like he was the most important person in the area. Pride and arrogance were all on his face. Saskia grinned mockingly at his twin brother- Sareash, then he turned to Carsen and smile mockingly at him. Carsen exchanged glares with him. There was some kind of silent tension between them. Then in a moment, once again, the voice of the Queen of Cards reverberated in the atmosphere, calling the start of the second phase of duel. "Now, let's start the tourney party!" she exclaimed crazily. The audience again cheered wildly. " Time to show your talent...players!" the Queen shrieked. Then, with head up she came down from her throne seat, and took off her royal robe, and when she stretch out her hands, her dress was instantly change into an armour. It seemed like she was wearing a silver red metal armour. Janesi smirked seeing all the Queen's outfit. For the sake of wanting to look sexy, she's exposing a flesh of her legs...that would

  • Away From Eden   The Giant Boundless

    When the leader of the giant boundless known as the Halvars has cultivated their time manipulation ability, they have brought chaos to the universal realms. The other boundless hated them much that time when they have not yet sided with the Vilgroi. There was even a heresy that the Vilgroi's invasion wouldn't be successful if not for the Halvars. So, by that, the Halvars have earned a reputation to be feared, especially their leader - Saskia. At the sight of the Queen of Cards losing her life in the hands of Janesi, Saskia screamed crazily like some sadist who loves violence. He was enjoying what he was seeing clearly for him the duel was just an entertaining show. " I'm enjoying this party!!!" he yelled wildly. Then, he looked at Carsen as if telling him to get ready. After a while when the duel area was cleaned, the automated voice was heard again, this time signaling the start of the next one on one duel. Carsen smiled confidently. He is ready. Everybody in there was expecti

    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

    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

    "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

    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
