"Let's add some fire into the mix." Blaze walked toward the hurricane, carefully to not get swept by it, but still got swept by, so he activated [Technomantic Shield.] It swung him around more and more up. The crowd was stunned by this act of recklessness. He voluntarily entered the hurricane, which was strong enough to shred everything in that arena to pieces. Just then, they saw the wind hurricane slowly turning bright as it got caught on fire and the next instant, the wind hurricane turned into a fire tornado as everything in the arena got incinerated. Not even leaving the stones, as they also had become so hot that it felt like lava was flowing. The tornado stayed there for a while, but the host couldn't take it anymore and just harrumphed. The tornado went out like a candle as everything became clear to the spectators, and they saw the culprit standing in the "eye of the storm," his clothes regenerating, making females blush and males envious as they saw his physique. But Bl
But Neo didn't give it a chance to take a breather, as he arrived next to it, putting his head on the back of his head and smashing it into the ground. The host felt its vision blurring, and everything dizzy as it tried to make sense of things and tried to retaliate. It stood back up with a roar and attacked but only got gifted with a punch to the face, which should've broken the bones, but then even if it was weakened; it was a high rank evolver, so it could take some beating and Neo was counting on that as he kicked the guy away. The host finally got some time and roared once more before it attacked Neo. It punched, the target being his face, but alas, its whole life was built around magic skills and tricks, so it had little experience when it came to close quarter combat. Neo dodged and grabbed its arm in a lock and punched it from under the arm, an uppercut. The contact made its teeth clung together, because its tongue in between those teeth; it got cut as blood started coming o
{Might be!} 'How so?' {My knowledge of people's thought process is as good as taking a bucket of water out of the ocean to reduce its water level} Neo sat down as others were still going through their turns. He could feel the ground tremble as people unleashed their most powerful attacks to finish the other person. They were finally done as the wall covering him from all sides vanished, and he could see four more other than him, but their condition was not that good except a cloaked figure who was just standing there like this was nothing new to it. ๐๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ต๐ธ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ข๐ฅ๐ท๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐น๐ต ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ.

The host wondered how they even survived till here."Well, whatever. There are many talented faces in this batch."It saw other people building shelters as they had brought water with them, which might be because they were well-informed of the pattern. And hunters were also good at their job as they had already started their hunt.One of them was even closing in on the duo, which made it shake its head. It knew that those two would soon be either miserable or dead.It set the game in such a way that the hunters would've 10% of their stats kept from the start and if they find the item, it'll unlock it further to 20%.Neo stopped walking, he looked to his left and could see two figures closing in on them."Time to warm up a little."The two beings, both of them, had blue skin and a jaw so wide that you can fit a watermelon in it. With rows of teeth, their eyes slit like a snake, they looked at the two menacingly as they stopped before the duo.Neo saw a red triangle over their heads, li
Thud* A dear-like monster struck the ground, minus the head. Neo had beheaded it cleanly, the head still in his hand. {Food for today has been secured.} 'It should have been enough for 5 days butโฆ' {Yeah, the bastard of a host is stimulating it to rote faster.} Neo dragged the missing head corpse away from the river, not before making sure that it was drained of blood. He doesnโt want to host a party for the monsters at his house. After a while, he arrived at the foot of a small treehouse, made from wood and leaves. They couldn't use anything from the inventory, and he didn't want to use anything from the chamber. He had a strange feeling that there was more to this quest than it was letting on. He started dressing (butchering) the monster and discarded the rest far away, again; he didn't want monsters to congregate near this area. Selene appeared as the red mist took her form. She saw Neo putting the meat in an ice container she made and said, "No suspicious activity today as
He laid her down on the makeshift bed gently, looking at her one more time before starting looking for the problem that he had delayed for a long time now.He wanted to find out what was causing his pain receptors to be inactive. This was really proving to be an issue, especially in a fight where even a single mistake would be life-threatening.{I almost got banged up in the Sixth Fable because of this.}He remembered when a large group of bipedal rhinos cornered him, making him shiver.'Let's see.'Neo scanned his body as he had almost exhausted his mana, leaving a little behind so that he wouldnโt fall in to the depravity state. This made it easy for him to navigate through, as the mana he had before was like a traffic jam. Now there were only 2 to 3 cars on that road, looking around without getting hit has become easy now.'What's this?'Neo, after searching, was looking at the blockage that he found when he traced a nociceptor to the spinal cord but just before that signal reached
Days passed quickly, at least for Neo and Selene.The survivors survived, and hunters hunted. And with each passing day, it became a nightmare for survivors, as many felt like they were being herded like helpless sheep by the hunters as they were getting more and more cornered.During their โvocations,โ Neo and Selene received many visitors, some went on their merry way while some met their maker. Even the host checked the list to make sure they were not wearing sheep skin to eat the tiger. They looked more like hunters than the hunters themselves. Others were just weak little prey that trespassed into their territory, not a good ending for many.The host also learned of Neo's track record in its free time.โA territorial couple.โIt muttered, even more vigilant against him. Not everyone would waste a favor from the boss just to have a host for breakfast.The game kept ongoing until the last day arrived, and the host's voice sounded.Ahem, I would love it if everyone moved in the poin
Selene didn't reply as she appeared before him, healing his fractured, bleeding arm, which he just now realized took some hits from the assailant. Making him turn silent, muttering how much of a headache this was in his mind, and said to Selene with a grin. "Wifey is the best." It earned him a red hue and a soft fist to the chest. He just smiled, letting her heal him. After healing his arm, they checked the huntersโ belongings before following the arrow once more. โIs he even restricted?โ It surprised the host at how easily they handled the hunters who had 20% of their attributes unlocked. He wanted to grab Neo and Selene and open them up to see what these two were made up of, but held itself back as they had become the viewers' favorite and were raking in a good response. He sent many hunters their way. They were disposed of just as easily as Neo let Selene handle them as he gave her pointers over how to use her ability more effectively, slowly making her control over it better
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 [ฮฯฯฮนฮต] 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 Nikolasโs 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?โNeo 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, โThis wouldโve been me if you werenโt there.โ Selene remembered Neoโs 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
โPapa!โ 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 ladyโs voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neoโs 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,
