“Still nothing, commander.” “What exactly is going on?” Morga Steelbeard was lost. Not in the sea, but in his own thoughts. After two long months in the sea, they finally found their destination. As the second fleet commander of the Crimson Empire, he had an army of his own. Although it was still not at the level of Sakura’s fleet with twelve warships and two supply ships; his seven-shipped fleet was the second powerhouse of the sea. The land was just ahead of them, but they failed to find anything even after searching for two days. The western continent looked desolate and abandoned. There were not even large animals. This was too alarming for him. They saw birds and small rodents, but nothing bigger than that. The forest looked untainted for generations. He didn’t even think about sending a landing party. The risk was too much. ‘What exactly is happening?’ They passed through the so-called barrier about a week back, and there was nothing in between the northern continent an
Adam crashed onto the ground with full force. He didn’t want to slow down when he saw the hideous figure standing on the beach. He knew what it was. He gritted his teeth to ignore the head-splitting pain that came with the memories. He was finally looking at the nemesis of this world; Chaos. Adam wished he could end this thing with one blow. Because it was something that shouldn’t exist. He was betting the lives of too many people, and the life of the Empress. If he failed right now, he would fail the entire world forever. His punch landed inches away from his target, but that thing moved several metres away with ease. The ground shattered under his blow, and the foul stench of the chaos entered his nose. He finally understood why the world and Mahisha failed to access this ground. Because it was contaminated by Chaos. He already created armour around his body and coated his sword with the aura of the Abyss. He didn’t have a reason to drag this. ‘This is not going to be
“Grandfather?” The old man shook when he heard this call. He wanted to strangle this thing to death, but first, he needed an answer. “Why did you do that? Why did you kill my Grandson?” His face looked tired and battered. Time was not a concept for him, and he hoped to see his Grandchild someday. He came here because he almost felt the presence of his little boy. However, it wasn’t him. He looked at Chaos. He remembered the day when he first saw the two-headed infant drifting across the universe. Their first meeting wasn’t a good one. The first time he met him, this kid attacked him and even injured him. However, he treated Chaos as a child and even adopted him into the family. He grew up together with his only Grandson. They were great friends and family. His Grandson never treated Chaos badly. That was the reason he permitted Chaos to go with his Grandson when he left to become the first Guardian of the universe. He was the one who even granted this power to his Grandson on
“Amazing.”Despite her words, the older girl saw several teardrops in the eyes of her little sister, and she didn’t say anything about that. The story was sweet and sour. She picked her up and held her against her chest. Their mother and father were talking with some other families in the distance. Many pilgrims and worshipers walked around them, and some were telling the same story as her. It was the story of a legend. “That is the story of the Great Blood Wolf.” The older girl ended the story, holding her younger sister’s hand in front of the massive statue of their Grand Empress and Her Consort. The Blood Wolf. “Oh….” Her little sister looked elated, looking at the massive statue of the couple. The greatest rulers of the world. She knew her sister would ask about this story again and again, but she was happy to see her little tail swinging in excitement. “Are you happy?” “Yes. I am very happy. I want to be as strong as the Grand Empress in the future.” “Of Course, you
The wind has been salty as ever, corroding everything it touched every day. Still, the setting sun through the various sails created beautiful scenery for whoever enjoys the evening beauty of the sea from the docks. Adam placed the last crate on the stack, or the last he can move with his frail body, work he could do was not nearly enough for an eighteen-year-old boy, but it was way good enough for a boy who had barely enough to eat, and skinny as a skeleton. He slowly limped back to the ground, using crates as support to his back. He watched the scenery of the sea and to the far horizon, unlike people who came to watch the sundown, what Adam saw was the blowing wind against the sails and dark clouds floating towards the city. ‘It’s going to rain again.’ He thought, brushing the sweat from his forehead. ‘Hopefully, I will not be sick by tomorrow.’ A few months back, he had a worn-out blanket for himself to protect himself from the cold; he was sure his ripped and thin cape would
‘I must be dead.’ Adam thought as he felt pain all over his body. ‘Dying is so painful,’ He thought, trying to open his eyes to see the world after death. He smelled the blood in the air, and with a struggle, he opened his eyes. ‘Huh?’ Even through the pain, he was confused Because what he saw was a narrow opening to the alleyway. ‘This is where I came to escape from the city guards,’ Adam was happy. He was alive, but the panic hit him as he remembered the wound in his head. He could smell the blood on his old robe. ‘It is still morning.’ He could see the sun through buildings. ‘Where is my wound?’ He touched his head, and there was little pain, but he couldn’t find the wound that leaked blood all over his robe. ‘What is going on? Did I die or alive?’ Adam couldn’t figure out how his wound disappeared. ‘Wait, I remember hearing something before I passed out. Yes, something, something system.’ The moment he said the word in his head, a metallic sound echoed in
As usual for the daytime, it filled the main road of the port district with carriages and people. They were transporting goods from the city and to the city. West coast city and East coast city were the two main transportation hubs that connected the eastern part and the western part of the land through the sea. If someone wanted to avoid these cities of the Crimson Empire, they had to cross the High pass mountain range. That was something that even powerful magicians wouldn’t even think of doing. It said that no one had ever come out from there. Another thing was, that if the people in the Southern islands needed to access the western part of the continent, they had to land in this port city. This made the port of the West Coast one of the most prosperous and busiest ports on the continent. Amy felt worried. She had never been out of the house in the daytime. Especially out of their alley. In the morning she and brother Adam would go to the Central district old school gate for so
Adam made his way through the city. He felt bad for leaving Amy behind. He didn’t know how long it would take for him to be strong, but he had to keep the promise. After completing the system mission, he had to come back for Amy’s birthday in four months.Travelling through the city was a painful process for him. Many people were travelling in the streets, but for his luck, many people didn’t even get close to him due to his appearance. Even so, the city of the West coast was not small at all. By the time he reached the north gate through the market district, he saw the sun located in the sky west of him. ‘Couple more hours before the sunset,’ he thought.‘How do I get to the east?’ he looked at the mountain range stretching far and wide. However, the road he got out led the way straight toward the north. Both sides were farmlands. Although he didn’t know, Adam believed most of these farmlands belonged to nobles or the royal family.Many people were going in and out of the city. As
