Tenth Fable starts now. Tell me where you think it will lead to.
"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
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
Boom!!A wave of energy went through the universe, which blasted everything that got in its way into smithereens."This is your last chance. Otherwise, there'll be [SkyFall]"This message reached every corner. Everything started moving into its place like a piece of puzzle as the Chaos Era descended......"Fireball.""Guardian Valor."Roar*"Neo, to your left.""Got it. Charlie, buff!""Already done."A sword light slashed, trying to cut the monster in two, but it jumped back, dodging the attack. The monster before the group was small in stature, but its wicked appearance made up for its lack of size. Its skin was a sickly shade of green, mottled with darker patches that made it look diseased and unhealthy. Its body was thin and wiry, with sharp claws on each of its bony fingers that glinted in the dim light.A small ball of fire landed on the tiny figure and blasted it backward. And before it could land on the ground, a sword moved toward it, fast. The attack from befor
When Neo stepped into the apartment, it gave the feeling that this was the home of a single person. The living area was cozy, with a comfortable armchair and a small sofa arranged around a coffee table. The walls were adorned with paintings, and a bookshelf in the corner held a small collection of books and knick-knacks.To the left of the living area was a compact kitchen, with a stove, refrigerator, and sink all neatly arranged against one wall. A small table with two chairs was pushed up against the opposite wall, creating a cozy space for meals or working from home.In the back corner of the apartment was a bedroom, with a queen-sized bed pushed up against one wall and a dresser and nightstand on the other side. The walls were painted a soft blue, creating a serene and calming atmosphere, and a small window let in a bit of natural light.The bathroom was small but functional, with a shower stall and toilet tucked into one corner and a sink and mirror mounted on the opposite wal
Neo looked at this with surprise and said with a smile, "Congratulations." Bella wasn't letting him go with just that as she shook her head and dragged him out of his apartment, saying, "No, mister, just congratulating me is not enough. Let's go, we are going out for a meal." Neo shook his head helplessly and told her to at least let him lock the door, to which she nodded, but was still not letting him go like he might run away at any moment. Neo found her antics a little funny as he chuckled and locked the door. Bella dragged him to the parking lot as a vehicle was waiting for them there. Bella came near the car. The door moved up and welcomed them. Neo looked at the car, but then shook his head as he sat in the passenger seat. The car floated a little and zoomed from the car park as it moved toward the restaurant that Bella had already told the super AI about. She then brought her attention to Neo, who was looking out, appreciating the scenery that was constantly changing as th
Neo felt his belief in humanity slipping as he inwardly calculated the price and sucked a deep breath and when he heard her saying two of each, he just was left speechless. "Who can finish this much?" He muttered slowly, but Bella still heard him as they were the only two in the room and that Bella was a Ranker. She puffed her cheeks and said, "Are you calling me fat?" Neo was stunned by her question and inwardly thought, '𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯?' But he didn't utter that. Instead, he said, "I think we might end up wasting too much food, and I am not that hungry. How about you cancel one portion?" But Bella denied him strongly. "No, you need these nutrients as you are going to form the core and if you don't have a healthy body during the last moments, the core might end up being faulty with cracks in it." Neo smiled as he saw her concern for him, but still tried asking her to cancel at least some of them. She didn't budge one inch,
Neo said his goodbye to Bella, who informed him about the time before which he should be ready for the party."Remember to be ready before 6 pm. We need to reach there before 6:30. "Neo nodded as he opened the door and entered the apartment. He put down the shopping bags on the table and opened the log as looked at the notification that had appeared after he ate at the restaurant.『 You consumed a high nutrient meal. 』『 Strength +2, Vitality +4 』He stared at the extra stats for a while, before going to take a bath to freshen himself. After which he just went to his bed and slept soundly....Next morning:Neo opened his eyes as the morning sun shone over his face. Looking at the clock on the nightstand, he found it was 6 am. He got out of the bed and washed his face before exercising for a while.After sweating a little, he stopped and took a bath. Preparing breakfast for himself, he returned to the living room to enjoy the meal as he turned on the TV, which showed the hos
Neo gulped the potion. The moment the potion entered his body, he felt a soothing feeling and new found power waking every pore in his body. Neo clenched his fist as he felt he could crush a boulder, but that was just him overestimating himself. He looked at his new stats.『 StatusName: Neo OrpheusClass: NoneLevel 1 (0/100)Title: NoneHp: 190/190 ➠ 890/890Mana: 60/60 ➠ 760/760Strength: 14 ➠ 84 Agility: 9 ➠ 79Stamina: 10 ➠ 80 Intelligence: 6 ➠ 76Vitality: 19 ➠ 89 Luck: 7』No change in the [Luck] stats was not surprising to him as he knew that only [luck booster potions] could do that and those things were several times more expensive than the potion that he had just consumed.After confirming that everything was ready, Neo peaked from the crack to see what the monsters were doing. He didn't have the inspection skill and could only discern with his eye whether the monsters were the buffed up version of the monsters or not.The hall was dimly lit with
