Evening had arrived, but the sun was still a good distance away from the horizon, where it would set.The sun's bright light, mixed with a little orange-red hue, fell upon the green trees of the wilderness and cast a long black shadow of those trees on the ground.Noah sat on a branch of one of these trees, dressed in cameo military pants and a black T-shirt, waiting for Lora.After getting the confirmation from Rudger that Lora agreed to meet him here, he quickly got ready, left the dormitory, and secretly waited for Lora outside the academy's gates. When he saw Laura taking a taxi alone, he also left in another taxi that he had already booked on the way there.And the reason he came here in the wilderness earlier than her was because he tipped the driver to follow Lora's car, and only when they both were some distance away from the east boundary gate did he order the driver to drive at full speed, overtaking Lora's car and reaching here ahead of her.This was all done by him to conf
"Why did you do it?"A question like a slap on the face, making her beware of the reality and the consequences of things she did in the future.Lora understood what Noah was implying here and what he wanted to ask her.However, looking at his indifferent gaze that was ready to rip her apart, and that wild, uncontrollable anger in his voice, hidden behind his calm face, she felt her heart beating loudly with fear.Her heart was beating so loudly that she could hear it beating outside her body.Still, she wasn't sure who Noah was, and she wasn't going to be sure until she got a good explanation, so she gritted her teeth and pretended not to know."What? I don't understand what you're talking about.""Why did you do it? Why did you betray me?"However, what she got in return was the same answer, this time much clearer in context, but in a more chilling voice, giving her palpitations all of a sudden.She understood after hearing those sharp, sword-like words piercing her heart and questio
When a cosmic wave descended upon the Earth, destroying the human race, the world descended into chaos.Danger lurks around every corner.Animals mutated into feral beasts, strange creatures roamed our lands, and the human race that survived became prey in the ecosystem.Hope was lost until survivors began to manifest superpowers.Humans began to fight back against the waves of foreign creatures that had taken over the majority of the planet.People who awakened their superpowers were dubbed Slayers.And as more people awakened their superpowers, they began to form their own groups, which were now known as guilds.They secured and protected a safe haven for the humanity and opened academies so that those who awaken in the future can use their predecessors' knowledge to help humanity survive the Apocalypse.However, even after doing all of this, the threat remained, as the population of beasts and monsters increased at an alarming rate.The humans were not the only ones who were gettin
' Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this world are merely pain, suffering, and futility.'Suddenly remembering these words said by one of my favourite anime character, and a legend that I used to watch as a kid, my eyes turned cold and my facial expressions went back to the usual apathetic one.I've never really liked this world.There were some things that must be done regardless of the circumstances.I must stop crying because it was sinful to become weak for me as I have a mother that I have to look after and goals that I have to fulfil.I would never admit defeat and will always strive to achieve victory, no matter the odds.However, for now I needed rest more than anything, I was tired after my awakening and all the things I went through today, it really did took quite a toll on me.Lying down to sleep, I decided to take a one month break from everything and
After killing some [chimera snakes] and walking for another 15 minutes, we arrived at the centre of the cave, where a massive monster guarded the large rock, behind which was the entrance to the cave's innermost area.The monster was a hideous green scaled snake with a white goat head that stood about 6 metres tall and towered over us all.It was most likely the final and most powerful creature in this nest, but I knew for a fact that our party could certainly defeat this monster, and only once the monster was killed would the real battle begin.The captain gave the order, and everyone took their positions to form the formation.I was in the back, behind the healer, with the magician buffing the other team members, the two swordsmen in front, and the scout hiding and trying to attack the monster in secret.The monster noticed the captain and swung his tail at him, but the captain gracefully jumped up and avoided it. The other swordsman used this opportunity to attack the monster, but
Miracle.What was a miracle ?A miracle was any lucky thing that happens to you, that you did not expect or think was possible.And it was exactly that. When you want a miracle the most, it never happens to you, but the time, the moment when you least expect it, that's when a miracle happens.Because its called a ' MIRACLE '...*****..The moment I lost all hope, the moment when death was was not even a second away from me.My eyes lost vision, my ears couldn't hear anything, and I felt like falling deep underwater with a paralytic body.At that moment!It happened to me.A miracle!My only super-power, the one that I used to call trash all the time [ Miracle Thief ] . It finally stood true to its name.It brought me a miracle, and made me probably the biggest thief in the history of mankind...******..When I used my superpower on the unknown intruder, I wasn't even in my right mind, I didn't even remembered the limitations and exceptions of my power and just wanted to mak
Shortly after gulping the first bite of the fruit, I could feel my body changing. My eyes became sharper, my head became clearer and my muscles became more explosive.I could feel myself slowly becoming strongerGlancing at my status, I noticed my stats changing with every passing second and as I felt and saw myself change, a wave of euphoria washed over me, prompting me to greedily eat the fruit before me.The more I ate the more I felt every fiber of my body becoming sturdier and stronger.After eating the whole fruit, A dark brown penny-sized seed was left in my hand.According to instructions from the system, the seed Should be consumed with the fruit for it to work perfectly.Taking a deep breath, I slowly placed the seed at the top of my tongue.~Gulp!Swallowing the seed, I sat down on the ground When suddenly! an overflowing amount of energy came crashing down my body.It felt as if a dam had burst, making my veins and body withstand the grunt of the water escaping out of the
It had been a week since I became a Fake Regressor. Except for the fact that I finally moved from my old house to the Regressors' house with my mother, all I did this week was train and plan for my future.I already had a story prepared in case any questions about why I live with my mother and care for her arose in the future...When i will reveal my potential as an S rank, many people would try their hardest to dig out my history and secrets. They would try to use little things to throw dirt on me and drag me down. They will not care about me being a potential S rank slayer who will one day save them from the monsters that resides on the other side of the border.They will not care that humanity may loose one of its potential pillars in this Apocalypse. All they would do is to drag me down for their own benifits and selfish desires. That reminds me of the saying' Some people aren't satisfied until they sabotage someone else's happiness. Be careful of who you trust , not everyone
