Ahah! We finally have the reason why this is it. I mean at the Bureau, we have people fighting to the death, tournaments and all that. In the facility, they are lucky to not have experienced all of that so this is a first for them.
“The coarse laughter that resounded from the big head og AMhan was enough to raise the heart beat of Lekan to some levels. He gasped, holding hand to his chest now as he watched the face of the demon while the demon enjoyed itself.It ravished at the scene he had caused, in seeing Lekan being jumpy like that. Unfortunately, Lekan was not impressed. He glared at him. “What is funny about that?” He asked him. “Ah! That look is priceless there.” Amihan gloated, liting back. He rose to his full height now, a wild smirk on his face. “You can't blame me, It has been so long since we got to see you here.” the blood demon chuckled. ``I can't say the same for you.” Lekan responded to him He pushed his head to the other side, seeing the form of the System Lady. For some reason, he was just seeing her. She was atop the system status screen and had been staring at him. Her eyes were silent but they seemed to say a lot more. It felt like he was being pulled to her. And he could not resist.
BLINK!Lekan winced as bright light flashed into his eye. Instinctively, his hands positioned right in front of of him to block the intense flow of light. With that in place and his vision slowly adjusting back to normal, he saw a face staring at him.Startled, he gasped, rising to his feet. Or at least, to a sitting position. To his dismay, the face followed him, now standing up to look at him. It was obvious, due to how the position changed that this person had been kneeling to watch him all along. And that was strange. Why would anyone stand there to watch over him? While it felt good in a way but at the same time, it had something very odd about it. Something he could not place. More so, there was the tingling sense of danger that kept on ringing in the back of his head. What if he ran into trouble? The blonde guy who let him go off at the hospital told him he would come for him. What if this was all part of the plan?“Who are you,” he asked the person.“Hm?” The person tilted
“Do you want to join me in the shower?” Favor tiptoed to his earlobes.Lekan frozen at this. It was so uncomfortable for him that he gritted his teeth, scratching his head in confusing. Who would have known that this seemingly innocent girl would know how to tease like this?It was tempting. The way she still stood by his side, having a teasing smile on. Like she was goading him on to accept it. And there was nobody around, unless she had someone else who did come into the house when the May was not home. Aside from that, the house as theirs. And he felt very tempted to take her then.But what if it was a test? Lekan swallowed on the spot. He held out against his instincts that urged him to accept the proposition. Holding himself back in place was hard. Especially as he was someone who attended a boys only boarding school. This made it a sort of golden thingy for them to be with girls. Those who attended boys only boarding school usually developed the attitude of shyness for thei
Lekan dismissed the thoughts that plagued him about Blessing. And Leslie.Ther was little to no point in discussing about it. Or even reasoning about it. The more he thought, the more he’d miss them. He could not have that. Better to stay focused on the now, better to understand his present situation than cry over spilt milk. Like the saying went, Lekan iterated once more, respect the dead. With that, he smiled uneasily as he stepped out of the room. The house was pretty easy to navigate. It was roughly, as he guessed, a two bedroom flat of sorts. And the only room that was opposite the room to Favor was the room that should belong to her mother.That is, if the two of them were actually related wuth one another. These days, he found it hard to just believe things around him. He had to take the time, he fully convinced before he could come to terms with things as the realty.He heaved as he navigated to the sitting room which was also shared with the dinning room. Over there, he m
“So how are you doing today?” Monsieur Dayo asked the figure of the kid in front of him.It was Frank. The same Frank who he had to shut down during his mayhem. During the psidoal clash he had with Lee Min. It had been hectic to do that. And he was thankful that he had the others with him. Particularly, Blink. The fact that he has a system that could shut down the operation of other systems did not always make him invincible. There were certain precedents that had to be followed right before he successfully bagged a win. Though it was not much of a big deal since he did shut down Frank now, the memory kept on lingering in his head. What if he had not been able to do that? What if Frank has done something to him?Was that simply because of the pores of the system that he had? Or was that because his own system was dialing? That was impossible, Dayo cleared that thought of his mind. His system never failed. Of the systems that the Bureau had created or curated, there was a very littl
“It was an accident.” Frank sighed defeatedly at Dayo. He shrugged, looking at him with an exasperated look now. It seemed as though the man enjoyed having him look this defeated. Something about his stats, his pleading seemed to excite the man now. Which she did not get. Not in the least bit. It was an accident. What more could he say?“It was an accident. I would never want to kill anyone like that. I mean. He deserved it though.” He said under this breath as he recalled the annoying acts that Lee had pulled him.“Maybe if he had just after normal, then I would not have snapped. You know.” He sighed now. Then dropped to sit. Dayo looked at him motionless, a smile to his face. Something about how he said he was innocent and should be given another chance and yet was still throwing shades at his victim was interesting. He was the type of System Host who he would consider or be pathologically dangerous to the others. He could make the hard calls and act like it did not matter. Some
“Yikes!” Dayo muttered, scratching the back of his head as he leaned back. “That went dark, pretty fast.” He laughed shortly.“What? I thought you wanted to hear it?” Frank asked him. Then they shared a laugh. A short one albeit. Frank sighed at this. Maybe he was not that bad, this man who was with him. It occurred to him then that he did not even know his name. The name of the one man who put him down was not known to him. At least, for the feat he pulled out that day in stopping him, he had to know who he was.Though he had to admit, his face was very unfamiliar to him. Not like he knew a lot of people. Something about him just scream he was not from around here. And to that, he was very curious. He cleared his throat and then clasped his hands, wiping off the smug look from his face.“Are you from around here? I don’t think I know your name, sir.” He said.“Why does that matter?” Dayo laughed at him. Then he straightened up, after seeing the dead serious look on the face of Fr
It took a lot of convincing to get her to agree with him. It got to the time when he was so sure he’d leave without her. That is, he would have to leave her in the house. It just hit him wrongly to have her remain in the house while he was out there. And for that reason, Lekan kept on insisting. Finally, the reluctance of Favor wore out as he shut the door behind them. She had a blue short on, tight to her body and a white spaghetti top on. Then she wore a balck jacket on her body to cover the rest of her. Alongside with a black sun shades was a bit too much in his own opinion. But he would not judge her. After all, it took a lot to get her out in the first place. Why then would he ruin it to tell her that her fashion sense was a bit too much in this case? He just wanted to be out there. To get something, anything that would trigger his visions. That was the reason for steering her out on his own path. On her own path, she was stepping out to catch some fresh air and get
His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink. In this time, he saw himself on the ground and a council which held over his head. They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand
Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he
Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor
She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would
Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face. This
His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir
The moment he got to know about the invasion of demons in this place; the first thing he did was to find a way to reach Leslie. He pretty much was trying to find his way about things in this place. And the only one who had shown the willingness to show his way around was none other than Leslie. Frank heaved as he held his right arm. It has healed over the time since the last time he had to get physical with anybody. And thankfully, there had been no cause for him to get involved with any fight. That is, he assumed Lee Min must have learnt his humility and then stayed to himself afterwards. He smiled to himself over this thought now. In the time past, he never did see himself as someone who would have to avenge anybody but now, it was becoming sort of his motto. Not like he was complaining about it. After all, the responsibilities of a King were numerous. And he had to exact them with the proper justice that was needed for each situation he found himself in. “What do we do?” HE
Power in the hands of chaotic beings is just a lower sample of hell. The demons surged about, numerous in their numbers as they screeched and roared. The unlucky humans who got up in their paths were gobbled up, eaten and then regurgitated as pieces of bones and blood. Fear gripped the ranks of the Bureau. In all their times of weidling systems, they never did expect to run into something like this. It has always been about fighting humans. Humans who would go against the way of things of the Bureau. Those who would flaunt the order of things. Those who would would want to thwart the general agenda of the Bureau. Never about things of this proportion. Never about misshapen beings that looked like a hybrid of several creatures. Black with wings, baleful eyes of red with poor patchwork of muscles over long bones for the ones who walked. Those ones measured several meters high, even as much as 8ft tall. The ones who flew were the smaller ones. Having the likelihood to apes, flying
Helen sighed, patting the black crop top she had on. The action brought focus to her belly button,the size of a water drop, externally. . It was slightly larger than normal. A phenomenon which was referred to as ‘dodo’ by his country's people. Oftentimes it was used as a term for light hearted mockery. But sighting it on her, the confidence at which she exuded even with it being exposed, it triggered him sexually. He loved her personality. The way she carried herself even though she knew she was not the best. But still had some air of confidence, as well as a bit of empathy. The fact that instead of leaving outrightly with him, she stayed behind to let him clear his head was lovable. Unlike someone who knew. The person of Lady Beatrice. She cared very less whether you’re anted to be teleported or not. As long as she had you in mind to transport, that was what she carried out. Consent or not. “You.” A raspy voice sounded now. It had a tone that spoke of humor and at the same time m
