Dalis left a perfectly cleaned out bowl with not even a speck of porridge left on the inside of his bowl, while he set his eyes on the lady in charge of the kitchens, he knew that he couldn’t get into her good books overnight. He moved on to the next part of schedule, as he made his way towards the corridors he would be sweeping, he noticed his stamina gradually recovering, it was nearing 320 of 340, and gradually increasing. His only energy so far that remained unmoving was his mana, it seemed like stamina was used as he moved about, and it recovered from eating, as for clarity it was used when he focused, as for its recovery he still wasn’t sure, he could only guess that it came with rest. Then there was mana which didn’t move at all, it was the only energy that his body didn’t need to operate. When he reached the corridors he was assigned, he found a broom against the wall and started to sweep away all the dust, and gradually made his way down the corridor. There wasn’t much m
Raylin looked down upon Dalis with his gaze held firm, he could sense that the bloodlust had vanished from Dalis’s mind. But even so he held his aura firm and spoke, “I once promised you that I would do everything in my power to hold of the corrosion of the energy, and in exchanged I asked that you act with honour and integrity,” “Tell me Dalis, does killing an innocent man honour the promise you have made?” he asked with a stern tone. Dalis gritted his teeth, under Raylin’s otherworldly aura he felt like he would completely lose himself, but at the same time he felt anger, anger at Raylin for calling that bastard of an Enforcer innocent, none of these people here were innocent. Through his anger he managed to find his courage, “You call that bastard innocent,” he swore at Raylin, using all his will power to keep his mind firm, “Do you even realise what’s going to happen when I hand in my schedule and it isn’t signed,” “I’m dangling over hot water as things stand, and all those l
It was noon as the gate begun to spin, blue arcs of pulsing energy coursed through the lines – vein like structures – that connected the runes. The runes were gradually filled with the radiant blue light, the brighter the runes glowed the faster the gate spun. CRACKLE. A spark shot into the centre of the gate and from the centre ripples expanded out creating a swirling vortex, a gate connecting to another world. Bang. The gate suddenly snapped shut, with a small explosion. But in the sealed gates wake stood a tall and abnormally broad figure, the energy dissipated and the shimmering air calmed, to reveal a man. He looked like an ordinary man, two arms and two feet with a head of short blond hair, but there was one peculiar thing about him, the strange metallic structure that adorned his visage, kind of like an exoskeletal suit. --- Raylin strode forward with firm steps, his steps echoed upon the stone platforms as he looked around with a firm gaze. “Where is everyone?” he as
A heavy silence filled the peaceful garden as the father and son stared at each-other. Ivick finally decided to drop the pretence’s and looked his son square in the eye, “What do you want to hear boy?” he spat. “Do you want to know why I cast you out?” he asked, “If that is the reason you’ve returned then you wasted your trip here, you already know the reason, you were a failure as a husband,” he said his tone cold. “Your marriage was meant to unite us with The Sunrise Church, but you let her die,” he pointed at Silica’s gravestone, “I would have rather had you die back then instead of her,” “While you scurried of playing as a mercenary and adventurer, I hunted down Silica’s killers,’ Ivick clenched his fist’s tightly, “And I gave them deaths the likes of which not even the gods could fathom,” his eyes glinted with fury, as if he could still remember the feeling he got when he wrapped his hands around their throats. Raylin clenched his fist so tightly they shook, and quickly turn
The sun was starting to lower as Raylin rode in the back of the automobile. In the Dynasty such vehicles were rarely used, they had far better technology, but all the same he was still surprised to see how far things had come, when he last lived here his father was one of the first people to ever own a steam engine for personal use. Now he had over a dozen models that he designed himself. “Sir, would you like to head straight to the lord’s manor, or would you like to take the scenic route?” the driver asked as he looked back at Raylin with a respectful expression. Raylin considered for a moment, he was eager to meet his brother and sister again after so long, but he still had much on his mind, “The scenic route,” he answered. “An excellent choice sir, the stronghold looks remarkable in the day, but it is equally brilliant when you look at it being lit up in the night,”
BOOOOOM. CRASH. The entire forest shuddered and the trees in Raylin’s immediate vicinity were blown to bits, splinters of bark rained down on the forest floor. As he glanced around him, he dashed in the direction of one of his assailants, that attack wasn’t enough to kill them, but it did all he needed it to do, before the dust could settle he located the second swordsman who was currently lying flat on the ground with a bloodied face. ‘Subclass ability: [Fury Unleashed]’ The red energy intensified around Raylin’s fist he jumped forward landing on top of his opponent and aimed to land a crippling blow. Boom. As his fist sunk down, a sudden interruption occurred, something strange occurred as Raylin’s fist continued to move, but it was no longer closing in on the swordsman. The area around his fist stretched like an i
The crystalline blue haired mage climbed up on shaking hands minutes after the explosion, she reached up to her bloodied mask and cast it to the ground, her two black eyes staring fixedly on the centre on the explosion. All the while she gritted her teeth as she battled the red energy that was going wild inside her body, when the smoke cleared her eyes trembled as she saw a bubbling layer of red energy slowly dissipating and giving way to a standing figure. --- Raylin gasped with effort, his chest expanded and contracted rapidly with every breath, he didn’t even want to look at his body as he could already feel the steaming heat he radiated onto the surroundings that burned the air. His two blue eyes locked onto the shaking mage, he lifted his head high as the last of his Nuclear Qi, returned inside his body and slowly extended his leg. Thud. Thud. Thud. His st
Dalis blinked in the dark room, not that the darkness did much to hinder his vision... not like the darkness ever could be problem for an Equanoxian. As he tilted his body he felt a weight on his arm as well as a familiar warmth. He eyed the naked body of Marcela with appreciation and gently caressed her smooth ivory skin, it was but a simple touch, but he heard her soft breath increase pace. She slowly wiggled her body back into his embrace and used her plump and juicy ass to grind against his crotch, causing an immediate change. Dalis used his free hand to move aside her curly locks of hair and brought his lips to her neck where he planted a series of steamy and passionate kisses. “You want too… mmmh… aaah… go again Dreamer?” Marcela asked between soft moans, as she raised her arm and pressed his head tightly to her neck. “Do I!” Dalis replied with rhetorical fervour and sunk his teeth into her skin. “Awww,” she released a loud cry and pressed his head down with greater stren
