Neo stood before the tower, Selene next to him as he looked at the towering figure whose top was obscured by the clouds. He took a breath as he entered the tower and appeared on the first floor, but Selene was not with him when he arrived at the first floor. She had to take the trial by herself, and he knew that she'd ace the test, so all he had to do was wait for her here. In the meantime, he vanished from there once more and appeared in the Nexus chamber. He now had an extra accessory on his body in the form of a conch with glyphs and runes that shone after a certain amount of time, rhythmically, hanging around his neck. This was the Soul Container which housed Bella's soul. He peeked in and saw Bella's soul. It was nothing but a ball of white motes that were huddled together. He didn't probe further in fear that he might end up doing some irreversible damage to it. He held the conch for a while before letting it hang loosely, muttering, “Soon.” He looked up at the clouds that
Blaze kicked him away while throwing a crushed arm in his direction. Selene looked at Blaze and smiled. Blaze also reciprocated and asked, "Which class did you receive?" If a person did not receive a class in the beginner, then the trial was the place where he could receive it. The trial was made for this purpose so that a person can have a class before entering the tower, but the races of Sky world somehow made it so that people would get a class before entering the tower. Selene shared a panel with him. 『 Nightspawn Description: A growth class that embodies the terrifying power and dominance of the creatures of the night. As a Nightspawn, you become a formidable force, embracing your vampiric lineage and mastering dark arts. You possess an uncanny blend of supernatural abilities and monstrous prowess, making you a fearsome opponent on the battlefield. With heightened senses, enhanced physical attributes, and mastery over shadowy magic, you strike fear into the hearts of your enem
Neo was looking at the next floor gate when he found a hand holding his slowly. He knew who it was without looking and clasped it as he used his other hand to open the door to the next floor. A light enveloped them as they started walking forward, the door closing behind them. … Floor 11 to 20 differed from the floor below as this set of floors was called the Mercenary floors by evolvers. On the mercenary floors (floors 11 to 20), evolvers faced a series of challenging quests and battles that required them to embrace their role as skilled fighters and tacticians. These floors were designed to test their combat prowess, strategy, and teamwork. Each floor presented a unique environment and set of adversaries, ranging from treacherous landscapes to formidable creatures. Neo and Selene arrived in front of the mercenary hall, a place that provided the quests for one to clear the floor. The exterior of the mercenary hall stood tall and imposing. It featured intricate stone carvings, ornat
Neo looked at the quest and could tell that this would be an arduous adventure. Selene looked at his contemplating face and held his hand, which brought him out of his reverie. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Let's go." Selene nodded as both of them vanished from the room. Starting the Odyssey. ...... "Really?" "You think I'm kidding? I heard from a guy who said that he was there." "They'll fail as well." "I know that's why I bet all my savings against them." "Dammit, why didn't you tell me that the gambling dens were open for business?" “When did they ever close?” One person asked another, but that man rushed out of the restaurant. He wanted to win some easy money. Rumors of someone attempting The Fabled Odyssey spread like a wildfire as everyone started talking about it and running a deep analysis on it. ..........................… In a random restaurant was a restaurant in the Tower where Philip and his partner, Stella, stopped to grab a bite. That was when St
The mystical island of Ogygia presented a breathtaking sight. It emerged mysteriously amidst the vast expanse of the cerulean ocean, shrouded in an ethereal mist that veiled its true beauty. The island was adorned with lush vegetation, with vibrant flora cascading down hillsides and ancient trees reaching towards the heavens. The air carried a sweet fragrance of exotic flowers and the gentle whispers of the breeze. The coastline embraced pristine beaches, where sparkling azure waters lapped against the shore in a soothing rhythm. Soft, powdery sand invited weary travelers to leave their footprints as they ventured further into the island's enchantment. Ogygia exuded a serene and tranquil aura, as if time itself had slowed down in this mystical realm. Inland, hidden pathways meandered through dense forests, revealing hidden groves and secluded clearings. The landscape bore remnants of ancient ruins and mysterious structures, hinting at the island's rich and storied past. A sense of ma
Neo assessed the situation as he didn't know who the owner of that voice was, but from the looks of it, that being was not ordinary. This made his eyebrows scrunch even further. Selene just then grasped his hand, which brought him out of his thought, and he took a breath, relaxing his scrunched eyebrows, but not entirely. "Let's see." Blaze said as he moved to the exhaust fan on that rooftop and pricked his finger. A drop of blood fell on it and like a sponge that piece of metal absorbed it as it melded with it completely and after some time a screen appeared before Blaze. It looked like he installed cameras at every point of the building as he could see clearly what was going on, and that people were waiting for them. The unique thing was that this time they didn’t have bows and swords but guns, but it looked like normal ones from Selene’s world. Selene also looked at those screens and saw them waiting for them just behind that door. She aimed toward the door and pulled the tri
Neo went silent for a moment when he heard that. For him, a minute or two had passed but now wasn't the time for that as different screens popped before him, he could see people pushing towards them, Selene should've been taking care of them for a while now as he could see corpses and bloods pool littering the ground.He took out a grenade launcher, inserted a round in it, his eyes on the screen, and then pulled the trigger.Boom*The building shook as even the reinforcement was having difficulty standing against that kind of compressed mana blast."Here."Blaze waved his hand as multiple magazines appeared. Selene discarded the old one and reloaded the gun, and started her killing spree once more. She aimed and killed everyone that came toward them.Bang*Ratatata*Boom*Sounds of explosion and gun shots ensued in the building as the duo pushed forward, killing everyone on the floor without a hitch, which was true for Selene, but Neo wasn't as lucky as a bullet punctured his lungs, I
Blaze pointed at a different position. Selene nodded as she got to work and started putting the bombs there. She had no idea what he was trying to do and soon found out as Blaze and her moved to the roof. Through the screen, she could see the arrangement of the bombs and knew that he was going to make the first and the basement floor one. [That's not--] {Yeah, go to hell.} Boom* Blaze uttered in an annoyed tone and didn't let the voice complete its word as he blew the floor up or, in this case, down. The building rocked as it looked like it was going into the ground. And stopped after a while. Blaze had planted it in such a way that only the first floor would cave in on the basement. They then returned to the basement + first floor, and they could hear people's pained grunts and cries plus a swimming pool of blood that had nowhere to flow to. Neo walked to them and took them out of their miseries. He didn't want to follow the same mistake he did before and spare them. The red
He strolled with Selene, empty streets, crickets chirping, a peaceful wind blowing and the stars and moon in the sky gave the whole stroll a romantic feeling. Neo and Selene kept walking as he held her hand, a sweet smile on Selene's smile, which could melt even the Nether Iceberg. Neo felt a strange peace and said to her, "Thank you." They arrived at a small hill, waves crashing against its foot. Selene used her hand and slowly put the waving hair behind her ear, asking, "What for?" "Everything." "Didn't you already thank me?" "But it's still not enough." Neo sat down. Selene followed as she grasped his shoulder and put his head over her lap. A smile followed as she used her hand to massage her head. "You charmed me with this." A small chuckle left her mouth as she laughed lightly. Selene was a person who was conservative and that followed with her emotions as well, as she showed too little of them to anyone unless she was alone with Neo, as a smile could always be observed wh
"Kyrie, we need some information." (A/N Kyrie [Κύριε] means sir in ancient Greek.)"What would you like to know about?" Nikolaos asked as he took them to his house. His wife was preparing a meal for them as they sat down.Selene offered to help with preparing the meal, but Nikolas’s wife refused to let her do by telling them that making the guests work was frowned upon in their custom, which let her stop insisting."Is there any ship that sails to the depths?"Nikolaos smile vanished when he heard that and looked at Neo with a creased forehead, lines forming over it. He wanted to ask if Neo was joking, but seeing his calm face, which showed no lack of confidence; it showed no sign of any joke; he was serious."I don't think any ship here would even think about going to the outer circle, let alone the deep.""Why?”Neo asked; he became curious now. There were a lot of anomalies here, like everyone he met or saw till now were non-evolvers. Even the guards patrolling the area were only o
"Man, it's been over a year now." "Well, that's to be expected from that kind of difficulty." "Still, to challenge 10 Fables and still survive till now is unbelievable." "We are talking about the White Devil. He's bound to be that powerful." The blond guy with a giant sword on his back took a drag as he puffed the smoke out and said, "He wiped an entire household in one night. Staying alive should be easy-peasy for him." "I don't understand. From what the reports and news says, he is only a first rank evolver." "And?" "How can someone who just started learning the ropes could kill people from the family that have evolvers of stage 3 and 4 protecting them?" The other guy, who was wearing a hood and a pair of daggers on waist, said as he took a sip from the bottle. He still felt that the story was full of holes. "I don't know, man, but I heard he had an item that could change the shape of his weapon on his command plus the skill that caused white and red smoke coming out of his

Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
