Trial

Vondrel, James, Noah, Timmy and Sam all journeyed to the 'Auta' for their trial.

"Here we are" Vondrel said

"What's this, it doesn't look like something an underground can be built-in " Sam exclaimed

"Let's go in first, you will see for yourself " Vondrel replied

They all went close to the door, as if planned, the door opened wide on its own. Vondrel moved forward while the others hesitated.

Seeing their hesitancy...

"Common guys you don't want to be left behind," He urged

They all went in, as the last of them went past the door, it closed after them. The others followed vondrel in, carefully inspecting their environment but they couldn't find the underground.

The arch that Vondrel and his friends entered was nothing like the grim, shadowy passage they expected. Instead, it looked more like the entrance to a high-end, well-appointed office. The stone structure was meticulously polished, with a smooth, glossy finish that reflected the soft, ambient lighting installed along its

' They are fun to watch'This time...we are winning this" Vondrel stated firmly and that same sharp and domineering aura seeped out of him. The blade could sense it but it kept quiet."Don't get too cocky yet, because i don't think you will be able to defeat a single one of them, not to talk of the five of them" Stelio's voice was heard" We won yesterday, why will today be different??"

James questioned "Well....for now, we are focused on surviving during the adventure nothing else matters for now " Noah replied As they walked towards the AUTA, a girl walked towards them. To James in particular, she ignored the other and stared right at James."Hello James." She smiled, then her smile turned into a frown ."what are you doing with this weaklings?" The girl asked James."How many times have i told you not to call them weaklings Elsa? " James asked, as he stared at her with an offended expression."Scoff....i don't just understand what you actually see in them, not that it natters though. But it makes me sick to see you in the company of low lives." She said, then her frown began a huge smile "well have you thought about what i asked you about?" she asked seductively "Like i told you before, i'm not interested " James replied bluntl

  • BORN OF DOOM   Chapter 26: RED PLANET

    The Red Planet was unlike anything they had ever seen before. As they emerged from the giant gates of the human settlement, all clad in a body suit. Their senses were immediately overwhelmed by the alien nature of the world before them. The ground beneath their feet was a deep, crimson hue, vast stretches of red sand and rock stretching as far as the eye could see. Massive jagged mountains rose in the distance, their dark silhouettes outlined against an eerie sky that was not the familiar blue of Earth, but a deep, swirling red tinged with violet streaks. The atmosphere was strange and oppressive, a blend of gases that were thicker and more difficult to breathe, though the suit they wore filtered the air just enough to keep them alive.The air itself had a metallic tang to it, almost as if iron dust filled the skies. A faint red haze floated just above the surface, shifting and swirling with every gust of wind, which blew with a force that sent the red sands skittering in chaotic pa

    "Hey what are you doing?" Rina walks out of the tent and what hit her was the aroma of a well roasted meat. Vondrel didn't reply her, but she continued walking and sat opposite him. "Here have some" He passed a piece for her.She looked at the meat trying to inspect it, but the aroma kept drawing her, making her salivate. "Stop checking and dive in already " Vondrel said after noticing that she was hesitating. "You can as well just take a bite to check how it tastes" he added. As if she was waiting for his permission, she took a bite almost immediately."Hmm...." Rina hummed and began to consume the meat like an hungry beast."So how does it ta...." Vondrel was about asking how the meat tasted, before stopping half way. He was surprised at the speed at which Rina ate the meat, just for him to check the piece he is smoking and raise his head to inquire if she likes the taste, she already consumed the meat. The moist dripping down her arm as she licked it off with her tongue.'What

    The tentacled beast ate the meal it brought with it even though it was injured, it decided to consume it's last meal which is Vondrel.The beast lifted Vondrel effortlessly and squeezed him with such force that the few remaining bones in his body cracked and shattered. Some splintered into his kidney, puncturing it, while others drove into his heart. His entire body was broken, and jagged bones pierced through his skin. Vondrel couldn't scream or groan; the agony was too overwhelming, paralyzing his senses.All he could think about was the desperate wish for the plan to stop."Is this really how I am meant to die??' Vondrel wondered, his mind drifting through the haze of torment. 'Why is my life being cut short again and again?? My mother's smile, my siblings, my dad, my friends…..this is where it all ends.'In the midst of his suffering, a faint smile crept across his face as these final thoughts passed through his mind. Vondrel felt his existence slipping, but deep within, every ce

    As Noah pressed on, the oppressive heat of the volcanic terrain began to shift. The air grew cooler, and a sharp, cutting wind howled through the landscape. The ground beneath him was now a mix of hardened lava and jagged stone, and his fire magic felt sluggish, the gusts sapping the energy from his flames. "Perfect," Noah muttered, wrapping his arms around himself against the biting wind. He pressed forward cautiously, his eyes scanning for any sign of danger. It wasn’t long before the sky above darkened, and the shrill cries of creatures pierced the air. Four massive sparrows, each the size of a small house, descended from the turbulent sky. Their feathers shimmered like polished obsidian, and their beaks glowed faintly with fiery embers. The sparrows circled him like vultures, their keen eyes locking onto him as they dove in turns. Noah barely managed to dodge the first strike, the force of the bird's claws gouging deep trenches into the ground. He retaliated with a blast o

    The Shifting Inferno Noah’s boots crunched against the rocky terrain as he stepped into the ominous expanse of The Shifting Inferno. The air was heavy with ash and heat, the sky an eerie crimson streaked with black clouds. The ground beneath him radiated warmth, a forewarning of the volatile nature of the terrain. A faint rumble echoed through the ground, a precursor of what lay ahead. "This place feels alive," Noah muttered under his breath, his voice laced with unease. Despite his nerves, his determination remained steadfast. He clenched his fists, the faint warmth of his own fire sparking in his palms. The landscape before him was ever-changing. Magma Rivers snaked unpredictably across the ground, forming natural obstacles. Occasionally, the land would tremble violently, splitting apart to reveal glowing fissures that belched smoke and flames. Noah quickly realized that standing still was not an option. As he moved forward, he began to map the patterns in the shifting terra

    Chapter 76: ASSIGNING MISSIONS

    In a dimly lit room, four figures stood at attention, their postures tense and their gazes fixed on the dominatingly beautiful woman seated before them. She radiated an aura of authority, her piercing eyes scanning each of them in turn. Her voice, calm yet commanding, broke the silence. “I have a mission for the four of you,” she began, her words deliberate. She paused, her gaze flickering across their uncertain faces. “You will receive no heads-up about the mission. No details. Just know this: the outcome is entirely up to you.” The group exchanged uneasy glances, but none dared speak. “Abbie,” a deep voice interrupted. The speaker was Stelio, with his mechanical arm that gleamed in the dim light. He stood beside her, his expression stern. “Don’t you think you should at least brief them? Give them some kind of hint?” Abbie turned her head slightly, one elegant eyebrow arched. “Anything, Stelio?” “I’m just saying,” he replied evenly, “sending them in blind feels reckless. At

    Miss Abbie leaned back in her chair, her sharp gaze fixed on the four young men standing before her. Their account of their mission had been detailed, recounting their encounter with a raccoon-type beast at the Hyper tier and a snail beast at the Sidon tier. The crystals harvested from the creatures now lay on the table, their faint glow casting eerie reflections on the walls of the dimly lit room. “So,” she began, her voice calm but with an edge of coldness, “you claim to have successfully taken down a Sidon-tier beast.” “Yes, ma’am,” one of the young men replied, his voice steady, though a flicker of unease crossed his face. Miss Abbie’s lips pressed into a thin line. Her gaze swept over them, sharp enough to cut through steel. “Impressive. I hope you understand what such accomplishments mean—and what they demand from you moving forward.” Stelio, sitting nearby with his arms crossed, offered a wide grin. “They’ve grown a lot, Abbie. Look at them—young, capable, and now stron

    The beautiful woman gazed at Vondrel with an enigmatic smile, her delicate hand extended toward him. "Let me have your blades," she said, her voice calm but carrying an undertone of authority. Vondrel hesitated but eventually complied with the woman's request. These twin blades were his most trusted companions, their power familiar yet mysterious. He couldn’t help but feel wary, but the lack of hostility in her aura made him reconsider. Finally, he nodded, summoning the Kyokai into his hands. The moment they appeared, the air grew heavy with their presence, the sharp hum of latent energy filling the space, the blades shimmered faintly, their edges pulsating with an enigmatic light.. He handed the blades over, watching as she grasped them with an almost reverent touch. “These are extraordinary,” she murmured, her delicate fingers brushing the hilts of the twin swords. Her touch seemed to awaken something within the weapons, as subtle ripples of energy coursed along their length. Ho

    After narrating the origins of the Gohu race to Vondrel, the woman clasped her slender hands together, her bright smile radiating warmth and confidence. “Now that you know a part of our history, it’s time to make you the perfect ruler of the entire race,” she declared. “I still don’t understand,” Vondrel muttered, his tone a mix of hesitation and doubt. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze gentle yet questioning. “What is it that you don’t understand?” she asked. Vondrel sighed and continued. “If I were to piece this together, it’s clear there are others more suitable than me. Surely, you have candidates within your race who would be better choices.” He turned to face her fully, his tone firmer. “Besides, I’m not even one of you. I come from another race entirely.” Her smile softened, though her gaze remained unwavering. “You’re not wrong. There have been other candidates, and perhaps there are still others more suitable out there,” she admitted. Then, stepping closer to him, he

    “Drink,” she offered, raising her own cup. Vondrel hesitated, watching as she took a long, deliberate sip. Then, cautiously, he brought the cup to his lips. The moment the liquid touched his tongue, his senses lit up. The initial taste was a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy, reminiscent of the juiciest summer fruit. A warmth followed, spreading through his body like liquid sunlight, soothing his battered muscles and clearing his mind. Beneath the sweetness was a subtle, smoky complexity, paired with a cooling herbal finish that lingered on his palate. It wasn’t just a drink; it was an experience. “What is this?” he asked, his voice almost reverent. “A gift of the ancients,” she replied, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “An elixir crafted from celestial fruits and the purest springs of the earth. It revitalizes the body and mind, a rare treasure.” Vondrel took another sip, savoring the taste. For a moment, he forgot his fatigue, lost in the drink’s unparalleled flavor. “This i

    Chapter 71: HISTORY OF THE GOHU

    As Vondrel was whisked away from the suffocating darkness, a refreshing sensation coursed through his body, leaving him standing in an ancient throne room that seemed untouched by time. The space exuded a sense of grandeur and authority, the kind that demanded reverence from anyone who dared enter. Intricate patterns and carvings adorned the walls, depicting swirling wyverns and fierce battles from eras long past. The air itself felt heavy with power, carrying a faint, almost melodic hum that resonated through the chamber. The centerpiece of the room was an imposing throne set upon a raised dais, commanding attention as if it were the heart of the realm. The throne was carved from a shimmering obsidian-like stone, its surface interwoven with veins of glowing blue that pulsed faintly, reminiscent of a heartbeat. Its design was both elegant and brutal, with sharp edges and fluid curves blending seamlessly. Behind the throne loomed a towering wyvern carved from the same stone, its wings

    Chapter 70: TEST

    Lucin’s unconscious body was encased in a floating, translucent sphere, suspended in stasis. Meanwhile, Vondrel found himself plunged into an endlessly warping dark void. The shifting space felt strangely familiar, triggering an unsettling sense of déjà vu. “Just show yourself already,” Vondrel growled, his voice heavy with irritation. “I don’t have time for this.” He waited, standing in the disorienting expanse, his patience wearing thin. Despite his heightened senses, there was no response—no movement, no energy signature, just the ceaseless warping of space. Vondrel clenched his fists, frustration bubbling within him. Is this some kind of endurance test? he wondered, his thoughts brimming with exasperation. Why does this feel exactly like the chaos I experienced during my transmigration? Can't they give me a break? Glancing down at his bruised, battered body, Vondrel grimaced. His usually rapid healing had slowed, his strength visibly waning. He heaved a weary sigh, realizi
