DAWN OF THE COSMOS Chapter 113 - Second Layer
UNKNOWN LOCATION A woman wearing a brown cloak stood in front of a shabby building, sitting in the middle of a deserted village. She was attracted by the faint noise of movements from within the household. With her sword strapped around her waist, she made her way inside. What welcomed her was the unpleasant sight of two dead bodies—a man and a woman. "What are you doing in a place like this?" She said this to a boy who stood atop the bodies. "You shouldn't be holding something like that, boy." She pointed at the knife he was holding. Seeing that it was covered with blood, it didn't take much for her to realise that the boy standing in front of her had just killed those two people. "Are they your parents?" The boy shakes his head. He was hesitant to speak up at first until he saw the radiant smile on the woman's face. There was no malice on sight; he felt like he could trust her. "They kidnapped me." "I see. Well then, let's get this off of you." She crept

"Argh." The ex-assassin had been trying to lift the dark orb inside his subconscious, but to veil, the orb would not budge. "Why won't this thing budge!?" He shuts his eyes and begins to think of a way to lift the orb. "Think, Tyson, Think. There must be something that I'm missing. This is my subconscious, meaning everything here is inside my head and I have a certain degree of control out here." He stares at the glowing orb. He picks it up with ease. "I can lift this one easily, guessing that's my first layer." He chuckles. "To think they'd call them cores instead of layers but... Who am I to judge?" He hardens his gaze and slaps his face. "Focus Tyson. Your friends are in danger... I have to get out of here the soonest." An invisible light bulb appeared on top of his head as his face lit up. "Of course! That just might work." He tightened his grip on the glowing orb. "Here goes nothing..." Tyson slammed the glowing orb onto the dark orb on the floor and a shock
DAWN OF THE COSMOS Chapter 115 - Old Dojo
Old Dojo in Born Town Ernie was lying on the floor with his back leant against the wall. He had just finished making a roll and was ready to take a puff. He hits a blunt and says, "Well, we've been waiting for hours, bro. Are you sure Dimitri is going to show up?" He handed the blunt to Enrique, who was sitting besides him. "He told me he had some errands to run and would be back soon." "I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing!" Vladimir exclaims. "Why did you even interrupt my training?" "Chill, big man." "Don't tell me to chill, little man." "Calm down, Vladimir. Ernie was just trying to help." Maggie scolds. "Yeah, you didn't have to mean about it, Sir Vladimir." "Sorry..." "It's okay, Vladimir, bro." "Vladimir bro?" The former district commander tilted his head, unaware of the creaking sound of the door opening behind him. "He's here!" Ernie's face lightened. A man walked into the dojo; he was wearing a black kung-fu uniform and had a belt s
DAWN OF THE COSMOS Chapter 116 - Helm of Hades
"It's been hours since Vladimir began his training with Dimitri; don't you think we should check on him?" Maggie, Farrow, and Ernie were currently sitting on the deck of the Mini-Cruiser. "Nah, Dimitri isn't much of a people's person; Vladimir bro will just fine." The laid-back guitarist states this as he gets up. "Right now, we should focus on seeing what we can do to make you two stronger." "You mean us three?" "Yeah, don't you want to train as well, Bro. Kaz?" "Farrow, my man; I'm not a fighter; I'm a pacifist." The two Nightshades tilted their heads. "What are you talking about?" Maggie scoffs. "We fought Tyson's brothers together!" "That's right, and it was your unique Anima burst technique that brought the two brothers to their knees." "That's true, but that case was different; my friend needed me, and I had to step up. Most of my narly musical abilities are buffs, and the Anima burst doesn't really deal any fatal damage; it only forces my foes to cat
DAWN OF THE COSMOS Chapter 117 - Tommaso
Inside Tyson's mindscape, the ex-assassin was concentrating on conjuring a doorway that'd lead him out. "Why is nothing happening?" His desperation increases as time passes. He had communicated with the Sloth Constellar earlier and couldn't help but get the feeling that something bad was happening. Although he trusts his friends will be in good hands, he is still very worried. "Tyson..." "Huh? Kisha! Is that you!?" "I... Finally... Reached... You..." "Where have you been? I can't seem to get out; what do I do?" "Not... Much... Time... To... Get... Out... Break..." He listened carefully to the voice that echoed in his head. "Break..." "Kisha? Break what!? Hey, Kisha!" "Argh!" Tyson slammed his fist to the ground in a fit of rage; that was his only chance to find out how to escape his subconscious. He grew even more restless and was too deep in his thoughts to notice a crack on the blank white floor beneath him. "Huh?" He looked down at the spot he h

"Everything is going as planned." Nissa said to herself as she gazed at Edrees. "Child, do not get in my way." "Sensei..." "I told you!" She snapped. "I told you, I am not your sensei anymore; as of today, I have severed all ties with you." Edrees looked at his teacher. She was the woman who took him under her wing all those years ago; she taught him how to survive in this world, and most importantly, she gave him a family. "I refuse to believe that you will betray your family!" He points his blade at her. "Then come child, I shall clear all your doubts!" She takes a stance with her sword, and a bright purple light envelopes the blade. As the light dimmed down, the sword transformed into a long sword with regal designs. "That's the true form of her sword." Edrees concluded that his sensei does not plan on holding back in any way. "What's the matter?" She snapped him out of his train of thought. "If you're not going to come, I and my blade, Dyrnwyn, will

Lex gasped for air, his muscles burning with exertion. Despite the added layer of defence, he couldn't match the assassin's strength. Lex observed Riley, his figure obscured by the swirling miasma, as he gleefully tore through Lex's illusions. "Laughable! Worried about your trinkets, yet you're utterly feeble... Your demise will be exquisite." With a lick of his lips, Riley charged at Lex. "Tck. Arc!" Lex's blade swiped through empty air as Riley's miasmic form eluded it effortlessly. Riley stood before Lex, a wicked grin plastered across his face. "Attempted that already, have you not? In this state, I can evade all your feeble strikes." "I've discerned something about your miasma," Lex stated, tightening his grip on his blade, engulfed by the swirling mist. "Pierce!" Anima surged forth, piercing through Riley's incorporeal form. "Ha! Is that all?" Riley sneered, but Lex remained composed. "While you phase, I'm untouchable. But, likewise, you can't reach me." Riley's exp

Riley greeted his doppelganger with a grin. "Finally arrived." "Let's get to it," Tyson replied, conjuring black Anima daggers. Riley's eyes widened as he realised Tyson's advancements. "You've mastered elemental animation since our last encounter." Tyson's anima surged, revealing his strengthened astral energy. "And more." Riley marvelled at his brother's progress, understanding why Lex posed a challenge. "In less than a week, you've evolved," Riley acknowledged, facing his brother. Tyson warned, "You'll lose if we fight." Riley, drained from his earlier battle with Lex, clenched his teeth. "Orders to fulfill Don't obstruct." Tyson hinted at his allegiance to the Constellars. "We're on the losing side." "I don't want to fight you," Riley confessed, though gripping his daggers. "Yet you're armed," Tyson noted, keeping his guard up. Riley questioned Tyson's abandonment. "Why leave us behind?" Tyson's heart ached at Riley's pain, but his resolve remained firm. "

"What brings you here, Grim!?" Tyson's voice rang out, filled with surprise and disbelief."My, is that any way to address your beloved teacher?" Grim responded with a smirk, drawing everyone's attention towards Tyson."He's the most psychotic person in the House of Bronze. My father might lead, but Grim, he's pure evil," Tyson explained, his tone serious."Stop it!" Grim chuckled, gently touching his cheek. "You're making me blush.""Tck, Kaz!" Tyson turned to his vice captain.Kaz met Tyson's gaze and nodded. "Got it," he said, placing his hand on Tyson's, transferring some of his own energy."Thanks," Tyson said gratefully as he felt his powers replenish. It wasn't full strength, but it would do for what lay ahead."Three Dons, the strongest assassins of the house, using shadow or dark elements, and Grim, on par with them," Tyson summarised."Everyone," Tyson addressed his friends. "I can't guarantee our safety. If you want to leave, I'll understand.""No way am I missing this! I w

"Hahaha!" Vladimir bursts into laughter, impressed. "Amazing! You developed the mantra ability.""I've levelled up too, Sir Vladimir," Farrow responds confidently."Nevertheless, this match is mine for the taking... Blue Boomerang," Vladimir declares as he hurls his hammer at the archer.Farrow stands unfazed, stretching his hand forward."Impossible!" Vladimir grapples with the unexpected turn of events, while murmurs ripple through the colosseum.Farrow effortlessly halts the hammer with one hand, stunning everyone."How?" Vladimir asks, bewildered."This is the power of the mantra!" Farrow explains as strange markings emerge on his body.The mantra technique involves chanting phrases, granting the user the ability to drain the astral energy of non-living components, weakening them momentarily."With the mantra, every attack from a magic item or coated by animation is rendered nearly useless," Farrow elucidates.Vladimir realises that Farrow's mantra can drain the astral energy of m

"So, that's it."The Nightshade clan was on the deck of the Mini-Cruiser, enjoying the food Tyson had brought from the Eastern continent.Vladimir had a mountain of food in front of him, diving in eagerly."Can't you eat slowly, big guy?" Ernie joked."A man has to eat fast if he wants to grow fast.""Preach on, brother!" The guitarist nodded in agreement, taking a puff from his blunt. "Also, congrats to all of you for making it to the second round." He gave them a thumbs-up."You all did well," Kaz commented."But it only gets harder from here," Lilith added.The Nightshade clan faced tough competition, and even though they were the only clan to have all members qualify for the second round, they might end up facing each other."Yeah, there are a tonne of commendable fighters who made it through the first round," Farrow added."There's the Enders, Red Souls, and Valhalla clans.""Rhea and Crimson, I hope I fight one of them soon!""You hope to fight everyone soon!"

"You're a lone brave, right? Say, Would you like to join my clan?""Ehhh!?" Tyson's unexpected offer surprised everyone."Hehe, it's typical for Tyson to do something unexpected," Ernie commented.Even the Dragon Constellar was taken aback by the ex-assassin's actions.She glanced at Maggie. "Is he always like that?""You have no idea, sister."Tyson confronted the Ice Mage. "So... what's your decision?"Jakeem burst into laughter. "You're quite the wild one, aren't you?"He jumped back, creating an ice wall. "I like your bluntness, but I must decline your offer.""Ehhh!" The crowd reacted in shock."He declined...""A chance to join the Nightshade clan!?"Jakeem conjured an icicle blast, causing the ice wall to rumble."Trouble," Tyson's senses warned as he activated his glider mode."Point One: Glider!" His dark Anima wings emerged.Farrow's eyes lit up at the sight of Tyson's new form. "Sir Tyson has improved without his shadow magic item.""That's expected of our captain," Vladimi

Chapter 127 - A Lone Brave
"A lone brave, huh?" Jake remarked.Lone braves were those who tackled the zodiac crypts' trials solo, without affiliating with any clan.The exception was the first zodiac crypt, where a rule mandated teams of four.After that, they faced the trials alone."This won't be an easy battle for Chase," Lexi chimed in."Don't worry, guys," Rhea interjected. "We've all gotten better, right? Lone brave or not, Chase will impress!""The match is starting.""Hey speedster, ready to face the ripster?" Rip teased.Chase tilted his head, then shifted to a serious expression."They say you lone Braves pack a punch." Chase mused as his boots glowed. "Some even call you socially awkward."Tyson eagerly anticipated their clash, recalling their previous fight where Chase's speed had posed a challenge.As Chase and Rip faced off, Tyson reminisced about their encounter."I've been itching for a rematch with Chase at full power," Tyson mused, his smile turning into a frown. "Too bad he's going down.""Wh

"What!" "What do you mean we can't all participate?" The Nightshade clan was currently about to register for the tournament. The woman sitting at the other side of the desk looked at them with an unfazed expression. "I'm sorry, those are the rules. A clan can have at most 5 participants for the tournament." Tyson slammed his hands on the desk. "But..." "There is no, but I'm afraid. Rules are rules. It was set this way to allow Braves that are not affiliated with clans and smaller clans to participate. The requirement is that you flash the hidden markings you get for solving the zodiac crypts.""I see." The ex-assassin finally gave up as he turned to his clanmates. He counted himself, Kaz, Ernie, Farrow, Maggie, Vladimir, and Lilith."Don't sweat it, dudes and dudettes." "Yeah, Sir Ernie said he wouldn't be participating." "Is it because of that thing?" Kaz addressed the guitarist. "Who knows?" Ernie shrugged off the question as he pocketed his hands. "That leaves six of u

Chapter 125 - Lundar
"Ladies and gentlemen!" A man's voice echoed through the bustling streets of Lundar. "You have all waited for this day ever since we were chosen to host the 47th annual Vagrant Games here in Lundar!" In the middle of the city was a broad colosseum. There is a big arena in the middle, and several thousand seats are being occupied by the minute. It was truly a sight to behold. A large microphone erected from a pole in the arena carried the voice of the commentator. "In less than a few hours, Braves and Clans from around the continent who have peered through the difficulties and concurred three of the famed zodiac crypts shall battle for the grand prise of 1 million peaks, access codes to vintage websites of the past world, and for the first time in the history of the tournament, we will be issuing a magic item. All these prizes are for the first place alone.""Hurry up, guys!" Tyson cheerfully calls out to Kaz and Lilith, who were dragging heavy loads. "Maybe we won't be so slow i

Chapter 124 - The Meeting
It has been a day since the raid on the Elder's secret chambers. Elder Baraya had recovered completely thanks to Kisha using a healing pulse on him. Most parts of the chambers were ravaged, and all the ninjas that were still alive were rounded up and locked somewhere. "Let the meeting begin!" Elder Ram declares from the altar as he and Baraya look down on the Constellars, Tyson, and Kaz. "I told Lex to head to Lundar if he escapes." Tyson states. "And I've spoken with the others; I briefed them on everything that has transpired so far; they will be heading to Lundar today, leaving me and Tyson left." At first, the vagrant games were merely a way for the Nightshade clan to test their might against other clans. But as the events unfolded, they found out that one of the clans participating in the tournament was the Valhalla clan. A clan that works directly under Hudson is one of their common enemies with the Constellars. "Adacus..." Elder Ram called for the retired Constellar.
