HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 14
A few days later.In the western half of the city, a group of humanoid dogs had dragged living humans over to the neighborhood full of trees.They dropped the humans at their boss’ feet. Their boss was a twelve-foot-tall black werewolf, who was dripping poisonous saliva from his mouth. He was not a person from this world.“Is this all you could get?” he growled as he saw the four people. “They wouldn’t even be enough for a snack!” He was sitting on top of a throne made from cutting big trees. “If you don’t bring me at least ten people next time, I’ll add you all into the soup.”“We will bring you the people, Boss Boggy! So, please don’t kill us!” The dogs begged for their lives as they left the scene.The werewolf, Boggy, picked up the wounded people and went to the nearby garden where there was a lot of boiling pot. Next to it were piles of leftover bones. He tossed the humans into the pot, added some herbs and leaves before closing the pot with a big lid and then sat upon the hot li
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 15
“I asked you a simple question, mud bloods,” Boggy had his hands behind his back. His amused expression was slowly glowing darker. “Why do you have that black sword that belongs to the Dark Witch!”Leah didn’t answer, or rather she couldn’t. (Dark Witch?) She had no clue who that was.“Leah!” Rowan yelled. “I’ll buy time, so run!” He charged the tall werewolf, which was even more intimidating than the minotaur.“No!” Leah shouted. “Stop!”But Rowan swung the mace with all he got. “Bubble Blast!”However, nothing happened. Boggy stopped the mace with two fingers by holding one of the spikes.Rowan’s eyes widened to the max as he realized just how much of a power difference was there between him and his opponent.“Rats that don’t know their place tend to die early!” Boggy kicked Rowan in the gut, sending him flying. He coughed out blood. His ribs broke, and he crashed into a tree. Ninety percent of his HP was drained with that kick. He was bleeding from the nose, mouth, and ears but sti
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 16
Boggy brought Leah and Rowan to his throne and tossed them on the side. He then kept staring at the pristine black sword. “The Dark Witch’s sword… It’s possible that she died.” He frowned. “I heard that she used to be the favorite concubine of the Immortal King. For her to lose her sword, it probably means that she’s lost her life. Last I saw her, she was battling the Cosmic Cultivator Chun Fu! Even the First Key couldn’t defeat him! I can only hope that she managed to gravely injure that monstrous man before dying.”Boggy felt like rushing to his boss Yves straight away, but he couldn’t just leave his soup that was in the middle of being cooked. There was also Leah and Rowan that he needed to deal with.“What should I do with these two?” he wondered, squatting down next to those two. “Should I wake them up and make them fight each other to death? They look like friends, but I bet they’re going to slit each other’s throat the moment you tell them only one of them can live. No matter w
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 17
A swift thrust from behind with the full intent to pierce through the opponent’s heart made Boggy believe that he was definitely going to win.It was really a life-or-death situation for Gary.In that fraction of a second, Gary’s toe touched the ground. He put 10,000 stat points to his speed, and another 10,000 points to his agility.Using just the support of his toe, he swiveled in an instant and managed to catch Boggy’s hand, widening his eyes.Boggy’s heart shook for a second.Gary now put 10,000 points into his strength stat and lifted Boggy’s big and heavy body and smashed him to the ground left and right as if he was washing clothes.Boggy’s bones ached, and he bled from many places by the time Gary stopped. Boggy coughed blood and was getting back up. Gary spun and crafted a spinning kick that saw Boggy crash back to the ground head-first.Still, Boggy was growing madly. Even though he was bleeding badly from his head, he looked more angry than afraid.[This is one tough bastar
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 18
Rowan slowly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful brown-haired beauty staring at him. (Who is she? An angel? Am I in heaven?) He smiled, but a second later, he realized something. (Wait, angels are men, aren’t they?) His body responded quickly, and his eyes fully opened. He quickly sat up.“Whoa, took you so long to wake up,” Sesi seemed tired from shouting at him. She could have easily pushed him, but she didn’t want to touch a stranger, so she only shouted. Rowan still didn’t wake up from all her shouting, so she had to splash water on his face. Now that Rowan woke up, he had a bit of a confused look on his face. “Who are you?” He looked around and realized that he was inside an old building.He could see Leah still resting on the floor not far from him, but there was a man next to her. “W-Who are you? Why are you sitting next to Leah?”“Where would he sit if not next to his lover?” Sesi responded.Rowan was surprised. “H-He’s Leah’s lover?”“Why? Do you perhaps have feelings for her
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 19
“So, where are we going now?” Rowan asked Sesi. He was sitting in the back of a car, next to Leah, whereas Sesi and Gary were in the front.Gary was driving the car through the national highway, which was pretty free to travel on, except at places where clusters of trees grew.Sesi explained to them about the Seven Keys that Gary had told her. “We’re going to have to defeat those seven otherworldly beings. So, to find them, we’ll have to travel around the world.”“That means, we’re going to be adventurers?” Rowan excitedly asked.“Well, I don’t know if we can call it an adventure in this doomsday time or not, but yes, it’s going to be a challenging and exciting experience,” Sesi said. “The seven keys are going to be stronger than the werewolf you fought, so you have to level up fast if you want to help me and Gary.”“Sure, sure,” Rowan smiled. “By the way, you said you defeated the werewolf, right? What’s your level?”“U-Uh,” Sesi laughed without answering. (What the hell should I tel
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 20
Sesi’s senses were not as sharp as Gary’s, but sensing the surroundings was her speciality. So, she was able to see the woman in the veil before Rowan and Leah. “Guys, look to your left.” She alerted the two people sitting in the back.They saw the woman in the veil who was wearing clothes like she was cosplaying someone from an ancient eastern culture. Her arms, neck, ears, forehead, waist, ankles were all decorated with gold and jewels.Her anklets made a nice sound every time she took a step.“Is she some kind of a drama artist?” Rowan wondered.“She’s walking way too casually,” Leah opined. “It’s like she’s not afraid of anything. And… she doesn’t seem to have a speck of dust or blood on her clothes. Does that make any sense?”Her words made Sesi and Rowan immediately up their guard.“Something’s not right,” Sesi said. “For this woman to be coming toward us right after Gary left…” she didn’t have a good feeling about this. “Gary!” she quickly shouted.Gary heard the call and turne
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 21
Gary dashed forth at Clausilla and thrust his knife-hand at her. He was fast, but she easily moved out of his way and also tried to bite his neck. Gary somehow managed to change his speed right away and dodge the dangerous bite.CLANG~!Her teeth made a clinking, metallic noise as they clashed against each other.“Fufu, not bad, but…” Clausilla suddenly screamed. Her scream was so powerful, the glass doors of the hall shattered. Even Leah and the bats that were harassing her were terrified by the absurdly powerful scream that made their ears bleed.Gary was also bleeding from the ears, but he bore the pain and grabbed her mouth, shocking her, not just because of his recklessness but also his brute strength. He firmly squeezed on her mouth, lifted her body up and smashed her head-first to the floor. The back of her skull cracked and blood sprayed out.Clausilla desperately bit his palm, causing him to bleed.Gary let go of her and backed away a bit and looked at his hand.“Hahaha,” Cla

A few minutes later.Sesi returned with a honeycomb that was bigger than her. It was only a part of the honeycomb she had ripped from the full honeycomb.But the smell of the honey was so thick it made Gary and Leah give it a taste before Sesi offered them.However, they didn’t taste it directly.Leah first put her honey-coated finger in Gary’s hand. He told her it was good and then put his honey-coated finger in her mouth. She nodded in agreement, and her countenance also greatly brightened.“This is really sweet,” Leah’s voice also became more lively, which surprised Sesi all the more. She didn’t think Leah had such a positive side to her as she mostly looked serious so far.It was as if Leah had become a teenager after tasting the honey and temporarily forgot all her burdens.The way Gary and Leah interacted also changed. The mood has lightened very much.Sesi was beginning to see what could have made these two fall in love with each other. As she was also starting to feel a bit je
CHAPTER 146
Gary and his team were going down the lonely path which was covered with thick leaves that were up to their ankle height.Some of these leaves were big enough for multiple humans to sleep upon.The road itself was wide as a river.Everything was big, and Goya was feeling a bit dizzy from the scale as it was quite awesome and fearsome at the same time.Wendevorr sniffed the air. “I smell something sweet.”“The hunter bees live in the east,” Liu said. “They live in groups, so I don't think we should bother them.”“If there are bees, then we can find honey, right?” Sesi snickered, bumping her fists together, releasing flames through her hair. “It’s going to be easy to chase them away with my ability.”“Let’s go and lick some fresh honey then,” Liu suddenly changed his attitude as he had longed to taste the Hunter’s Honey but couldn’t do so because the hunter bees were quite dangerous.“All of us aren’t needed,” Gary said. “Liu and Sesi. Both of you will take care of it. We’ll keep walkin
CHAPTER 145
“I asked for grape juice!” Sesi barked. “But what the hell is this?”“It is grape juice,” the innkeeper looked offended. “It’s fresh. If you drink it, you’ll know.”“You want me to DRINK THIS?” Sesi’s eyes turned red. Rowan grabbed her hand because he felt like she might slap the innkeeper out of anger. “Can a human even drink this? No, even monkeys won’t go near this shit!”Sesi’s words offended not just the innkeeper but also the other customers who loved the grape juice. After all, those grapes were harvested from the grape trees growing in the same village, the Newmere village. So, their pride was hurt when Sesi mocked the grape juice.“Sesi,” Leah intervened. “There’s no need to cause a scene if you didn’t like the drink.”“Leah, just look at this!” she pointed at the mug. “The grape skin and seeds are floating in the drink! How am I supposed to drink it? Uwwgh, I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!”“Maybe, they don’t add grapeskin and seeds in the drink, but we leave the
CHAPTER 144
The adult customers were in awe and disbelief, whereas the children were giggling and smirking from seeing Prince Liu personally serving drinks to a foreign group of four.From Liu, they came to know that the trees in the village weren’t giant a few decades back, but ever since cultivators began to bury the bodies of some beasts around the village, the trees absorbed the nutrients and grew in size and produced food all year, which improved the livelihood of the villagers very much.“You’re only twenty two years old?” Rowan’s eyes bulged in shock. “What the heck, man? You look like you’re forty years old!”Liu angrily smiled. “Yeah, some people say that to me, but all the girls in this village would die to marry me. It’s just that I haven’t found the right woman for me yet.” His eyes fell on Sesi.“Don’t even think about it,” Sesi retorted coldly. “You’re not at all my type. Too macho for me to even feel anything.”Liu then looked at Leah, but she was just fully immersed in talking wit
CHAPTER 143
If reality blended seamlessly with dreams, then it would look like what Gary and everyone else was staring at right now.The towering mountains and crystalline rivers aside, there were young children riding on big foxes and were plucking fruits off the trees. There were beautiful young ladies riding butterflies that flitted from flower to flower and helped the ladies collect honey in leather sacs.The small village that Gary and his friends had first been to was full of giant trees and animals, but the humans were of normal size.The village guards escorted them to the inn and said, “Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll regret it.”Goya found their words offensive. “Should I just beat him up and show him his place?”“Don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Wendevorr told her. “Did you already forget what Lord Gary told us? We’re not supposed to fight anyone unless it gets life-threatening.”Goya seemed disappointed. “But that’s boring.”After killing so many monsters, Goya was still in the sl
CHAPTER 142
By the time Gary and his team left the woods, having absorbed the crystal cores and boosting their stats and abilities, they felt more confident than ever.Goya was sitting cross-legged on top of Wendevorr’s head. She was at level 698, and he was at level 699.Rowan increased by ten levels and reached 612.Sesi increased to level 630.Leah went from level 700 to 703.Gary’s level was exactly 800 after defeating the mighty wolf Wynn. He felt much stronger than your average level 800 being would, but he still felt like his current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with all the seven keys, much less their boss, the Immortal King.Leah and Sesi were discussing a lot ever since Leah regained her memories. Sesi wanted to know their love story, so Leah kept telling her everything. Some of the details were a bit too embarrassing, so Gary kept his distance from the ladies.Rowan was leading the group in the front. “I’m still the lowest-leveled in the group, dammit. I know I should be ha
CHAPTER 141
Wynn and Gary’s team parted goodbyes, but Gary and others didn’t leave the forest just yet because Wynn had asked them to kill the remaining demonoids as a favor.Because they had all used the fountain of life, they couldn’t reject his request. However, neither Gary nor Leah had to act for this mission.Sesi, Rowan, Goya, and Wendevorr took the task upon themselves and competed to see who’d find and kill the most number of demonoids. Goya and Wendevorr believed that they had an edge over the humans because of their superior sense stats.Goya went back to the Demon Range to sniff out the remaining demonoids and kill them. Wynn had told them a way to get past the curse that they’d obtain after absorbing the crystal cores. It was to wash these cores in the blood of another animal, and so that blood would take the curse away.Knowing this, everyone felt very excited to get the crystal cores and gain various abilities from that, though crystals that had been cleansed by blood would also be
CHAPTER 140
Gary was talking with Wynn, the great wolf, which seemed to have calmed down now. “I was planning on returning to earth, but after hearing your words, I think we’ll need to stay here a little longer.”“If the opponent is someone who can kill Master Chun Fu, then your current strength is not sufficient,” Wynn said.Though it was a bit rude of Wynn to say that, Gary didn’t disagree with that. “I have to awaken my spiritual energy, too, before I return to earth. So, Leah and I will both be able to use spiritual energy in our group. Together, we can keep hunting those seven keys. And the rest of my group members will take down their minions. I think they’re strong enough to fend for themselves now.”“If you want to awaken the spiritual energy ahead of time,” Wynn said. “Then there’s a place where you can attain that.”“Oh… where is it?” Gary quickly asked.“The Absurd Woods…” Wynn said.“Absurd Woods?” Gary raised an eyebrow. “That’s the name?”“Yeah. It’s full of crazy creatures that har
CHAPTER 139
As Gary approached the fountain, he saw Leah rising up as though the waters were lifting her up. A radiant glow came out of her body. It was warm and beautiful.“What’s going on?” Gary asked.[She’s been cured of the curse, and on top of that she’s awakened the spiritual energy.] Ai said.“A-Awakened?” Gary was startled. “Didn’t you say it’ll take at least level 900 for one to even think about awakening their spiritual energy?”[Yes, but her spirit has been contained by the negative energy of the Dark Witch.] Ai explained. [In order to forcefully release those restraints, the fountain of life had to awaken her spirit.]“So, it’s a byproduct of removing the curse put on her…” Gary’s eyes slowly widened. “Does that mean she gets her memories back?” He quickly scuttled toward the fountain with his heart swelling from hope.Leah was still floating above the fountain, and her eyes slowly opened. She could see everyone around her. Sesi, Rowan, Goya, Wendevorr, even the great wolf in the dis
