Stepping out of the light, the first thing that came to Arran's senses was the loud sounds of cheers and applause.

The cacophony of various sounds that assaulted Arran's senses was like a mishmash of different dials on the tv turning on and off and switching from one channel to another in his head. For a moment there, Arran could not adjust to the sudden stimulation to his senses and he felt himself feeling dizzy.

It was only after a few seconds of taking deep breaths that Arran was finally able to adjust. That was when he noticed that Brianna had been shaking his hands gently and was looking at him with concern.

Not only her, Renee, and Daphne were also looking at him weirdly and they seemed to be asking if he was okay with their eyes.

Knowing that he had made them worry about him, Arran quickly said to them, "It's okay girls, I'm fine. Just felt a little dizzy."

"Are you sure you're fine?" Brianna asked.

"Yes, I'm really fine..." Arran rea

    Just as Arran and Renee were discussing, once more, another holographic projection of Councilman Homer appeared over the stage.This time, apart from showing only Councilman Homer, there was also a holographic board with all the one hundred and seventeen names of the participants present written on it. It was right there beside the projection of Councilman Homer hovering above the heads of the participants on the stage.Speaking of the stage, currently, it was floating in the air above a small floating island of no more than 30000 sq meters. It was from this small island that Arran and the rest of the participants came out from underground.It had to be said that compared to all the giant floating islands that Arran had seen since coming to the aeth mother planet, this was the smallest he had ever seen.Right now, above this island, apart from the stage where Arran and the rest of the participants were standing, there were also numerous viewing stages flo

    One by one, the rest of the participants went up to the crystalline box. Putting their hands inside it, they each drew their own lots and came out with a number before going back to stand at their original location.Arran also followed suit.Putting his hand inside the box, Arran felt something with his hand that felt like a tile that was used to play scrabble. Knowing that there was no point trying to select a specific number, Arran just picked one of the tiles randomly.Bringing his hand out of the box, Arran then felt that tile melt in his hand before a number was imprinted on his plan with black ink.Arran took a look at the number he had gotten and he found out that he had gotten the number seven."Hmm... not bad," Arran commented.Seven was a lucky number, at least it was to Arran, so he felt that he had drawn a good number.Walking back to his original position, Arran waited until the girls were done before coming back.

    "Hmm... the two of them have already met? When was this?""Actually, forget it. That's not important. What really matters right now is what happened between them. Tell us exactly and do not leave anything out." The figure commanded."Yes, your grace." Councilman Homer replied, and then he immediately went ahead to explain what had happened when Arran and Carrum had met each other the first time during the second elimination round. There was even a recording of that time and the seven figures slowly watched it as they listened to councilman homer speak.When Councilman Homer was finally done explaining everything that had happened, he finally went silent and waited for further orders on what to do regarding Arran and Carrum.He wanted to know if they should move the plan forward and bring Carrum in or promptly remove Arran from the ceremony for his own protection.After all, Arran was still an important person of interest that the council was monito

    Everybody was done drawing their lot and each person already had a number tattooed on their palm. It was with this number that the participants would know the order in which they would fight.After everything was done, the image of Councilman Homer once again showed up above the stage and he quickly addressed everybody."Now, all of you have already picked a number. It is now time for you all to know who you will be fighting.""If you look at the screen, the numbers representing you will be shuffled together and according to what you see, that will e who you will be fighting. The order of the fight will also be determined randomly, so good luck everybody. As soon as this is done, we will immediately begin. Those whose turn it is not yet to fight, you should move to the resting stage behind you to await your turn."Once Councilman Homer finished speaking, his image once again vanished and another image showing a board appeared.On this image, the bo

  • Kingsman Return   Renee Vs

    Renee stood on the stage and across from her was her opponent.Her opponent was a very slim and very tall man who stood at a height of about 190cm. He had a mess of brown blown-out hair and brown eyes and he resembled your typical everyday chum you could see walking down the street.This man and Arran shared a few similarities in their build, like having almost the same height and body shape, but as far as similarities go, that was as far as he got with Arran.This man, apart from being usually tall and slim, was not remarkable in any way.He had one of those faces that always looked familiar to you and at the same time, it was easy to forget him once you took your eyes off him. He was just like an average everyday joe you meet in life. But don't underestimate him because of his looks. Anybody that is able to make it up to this stage was not a simple person at all.To be able to make it to this stage, one had to step on the bodies of others figurat

  • Kingsman Return   Bleeding

    There was a slight uproar among those that knew about Renee.In limited circles, Renee was known as The One-Inch Killer Queen. This name came about due to her rasp of the popular space divine skill, Inch traversal.Of all the people that had ever studied this skill, Renee was one of the few that had grasped it to a limited degree. Using her limited achievement in practicing this skill, Renee had integrated it fully into her fighting style to the point that it has become a signature move of hers.Anybody that knew Renee knew that when it comes to fighting her, the first thing you should do was to put as much distance as possible between yourself and her becomes when it came to Renee. The distance was irrelevant.She could cross distances to get to her opponent as if she were merely one inch away from them.This was a very terrifying ability, coupled with her excellent assassination abilities. Renee was a force to be reckoned with in battle.S

    The One-Inch Killer Queen was injured and bleeding...This sudden turn of events left people shocked and dumbfounded. They couldn't understand how the once invincible assassin in their hearts had gotten into such a sorry state.Just as the participants were looking at Renee, whose right sleeve was torn and from which bright red blood was leaking and dropping onto the stage, they finally turned to the person who had made this possible.That person was Chad...In the hearts of some of the participants who had not thought much of this battle, they started to look at the match and even Chad himself with different eyes.It was like suddenly; they were seeing things differently and they finally had hope in their hearts that the once invincible legend of the assassin One-Inch Killer Queen would be broken on this stage.Anticipation was building up outside the stage as people were looking for a miracle to occur, but on stage, things were going a who

    "So that's how it is, eh! This Chad guy has such an interesting ability. No wonder Renee was injured as soon as she flashed straight towards his side. Knowing that Renee was able to close a lot of distance in an instant, he must have set up a lot of those invisible blades around him in a tight net as a trap for her to walk into. It's surprising how Renee was only able to come out of that situation with only a small cut on her arm.""Still, there is a problem... something I don't understand. How is it that Chad is able to create such perfectly concealed hidden weapons in the air without any of us noticing at all?""I mean, if it's just creating invisible blades in the air, how is it that it doesn't create any fluctuations in the air as it moves. At the very least, something solid enough to cut should leave some traces as it moves and cuts through the air, right? The airflow from that alone, no matter how slight, should not be able to escape the senses of so many partici

    The End… For Now!

    The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w

    Final Chapter

    Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she

    World Will

    The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort

    Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent

    Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2

    With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

    Full Awakening… The Spark Of The Universe’s Origin

    Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E

    Final Death Throes 2

    In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

    Final Death Throes

    Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
