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 “vocations,“ 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.‘A territorial couple.’It 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 hunters’ belongings before following the arrow once more. “Is he even restricted?” 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
『 Can not Inspect the target.』 『 Anti-Inspect item in use.』 {Oh, that's new.} Blaze said, backing up a little, a hand passed through where his neck was a moment ago, narrowly dodging the attack. Selene appeared next to Xandorael, about to pierce him with the dagger, but felt a resistance, like hitting a ball made of fur. Xandorael twisted his body, and the dagger slid through his body as he swiped the claw like hand at Selene which just passed through her, just then, multiple red daggers formed and were launched toward Xandorael, just as it was near him, they stopped, the Host appeared above them. I know you are enthusiastic about getting to know each other, and you'll get plenty of chances to do so. How about we stop the entertainment here? "I also want to get to know you." Blaze appeared next to Selene as he looked at the host with a grin that widened even further as he saw the host's scrunched face that was trying its best to maintain its smile. The host dismissed him as a si
The crowd cheered for the monster as they discussed how exhilarating the match was, while the species that the challengers belong to had ugly expressions, and many even cursed the jelly-head race for using such an underhanded way to control others.'These aliens are really sick.'{Everyone is the same.}Neo looked at the monster eating its last victim.{A world where strong remains and weak gets eaten.}‘That is…’{…the only truth.}The scene changed, everyone was back in the arena.Another team appeared in the arena, this one had a team of 14.'With their combined luck, it should be a walk in the park for them.'{I don't think the game is that simple, otherwise everyone would've made one big team and cleared this stage, expedition style.}The wheel appeared, and the arm started spinning and stopped on a monster which was just a millipede. A giant millipede with thousands of legs and each leg, a sickle that could easily slice through a rock race person. (Or easily slice through steel)
Neo looked at the 30-foot monster that was walking toward them. Its eyes shone, lightning crackling in them. The body of this monster was really a beauty on its own, but the crackling lightning over it was making sure to warn others not to get close.It vanished and appeared next to Xandorael, its size now 6 feet, and kicked him away. A bluish shield surrounded Xandorael as he slid back.'Can it change its size?'{There wasn't a skill related to that in its skill set.}Now the monster really looked like a tiger warrior as it growled and disappeared once more, appearing next to Neo. The chromatic shield surrounded him, which was just a piece of paper for it, as its sharp claws easily pierced through the shield and arrived before him.Neo vanished and appeared behind the monster, kicking it back.Lightning crackled as it surrounded the monster's back, forming a shield that could protect it and harm the attacker with lightning.Neo still carried on with the attack as his leg passed throu
The crowd was looking at this in disbelief as this fast too fast-paced, everything was happening in an instant and every moment left them dumbfounded. Like, how was Neo able to come out of the lightning storm unscathed? How was he so fast that he left a booming voice when he travelled?How was Xandorael able to damage the body of the beast that was said to have skin that even gold rank weapons would have trouble breaking through? And where the hell did that snake come from? Is this a territorial fight between two bosses?The host was the same, as it felt that one of the monsters left its confines and used its power to send it back, but it didn't work on the beast.It confused the host as it tried to use power to send it back. Just then, it felt a stare and looked toward the source. It found Neo staring at it with scrunched eyebrows for a while before he turned his attention back to the monster.The host received the notifications, which made it speechless.『 Guardian of Meska pays res
Silence*Silence ensued in the arena as everyone’s eyes were glued to the ongoing fight. Some even thought it was shooting for a movie, while some wondered who the actual monster was. The lightning construct that was creating the rumbling sound as it butchered the monster, and the red mist that was giving it support as all kinds of attacks befell the Stormbringer.The cloaked figure contributed by limiting the monster’s movement, cutting at the monster's feet and making it stagger."What is going on?""A monster.""Wasn't the Stormbringer said to be a dangerous monster that could cut down a whole expedition with a wave of its claw?""It is, and it still can. The problem is that…""It met its bane today."The crowd discussed amongst themselves as they stared at the lightning humanoid creature that was now of the same height as the Stormbringer and grabbed its claw with its own one, using the other one to pin it to the ground with its sword, stabbing it of course.Roar*The monster roar
{This is unexpected.}‘Having a lightning body was strange from the beginning.’{Yea, how can one bleed if the whole body is made from lightning?}'…’The matches kept ongoing and some time to for this round to end. Only 5 teams survived and received the last charm of luck, the four-leaf clover.Neo's attention was also on the clover as he looked at the bracelet on his hand vanish and a small coin appeared on his wrist with a symbol of scarab carved over it.『 Absolute Luck: Luck +500% Cooldown: 4 month.』Neo turned to Selene, who had a 4 leaf clover on her wrist, and she shared its details.『 Absolute Bad Luck: Luck -95% Cooldown: 4 month.』Then the host rolled the curtains on the match, and the crowd dispersed. That was the norm. They waited outside for their champion to emerge and bring luck to their clans, sects, race, etc.Xandorael turned to them as he put the cape away, and Neo could finally see who was beneath that cape.'A demon?'{A dragonling.}There were two small horns pr
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

His attention was quickly grabbed by the connection of the Veresa world, or the Veresa continent, whichever it was, to the tower.{I don't remember doing anything like that.}'Might be that the Tower used us to connect to tha
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,
