“Alright, there’s no need to worry. We don’t have that problem, so as long as you explain the situation to me very clearly, I’ll be able to inform Main command. Then we will figure a way to get you out.”

After letting the current situation sink into the big man’s heart, Arran finally reassured him that all hope was not lost.

Immediately, the big man brightened up, and he became hopeful again.

Without detail, he started explaining everything that had happened to Arran.

“Yes, so it happened like this...”

Arran listened to the big man’s words carefully. After a few seconds, he finally understood what had transpired.

It was very simple, actually. Because of their bad start where they ended up far from their target, the first and second teams were not really subtle in their methods as they hurried to make up for the lost time. Not that there was a need for subterfuge. But their methods had been too hasty, which had alerted the criminal leaders in the third level.

That is how they devised a

    After Arran finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the big man to say anything at all. Just like he said, they only had two minutes to break out of the trap and three more to escape before the ship self-destructed. If they couldn’t make it out in time, then they would be toast.With all these considered, Arran quickly spoke to the big man.“You’ve heard what I said. We don’t have a lot of time. We have to get you out of there in two min... no, in a minute. That’s the only way we can guarantee we make it out in time before the ship explodes.”Ha!Hearing Arran’s words, the big man laughed mirthlessly.In a self-deprecating manner, the big man said to Arran.“What is the point of that? We’ve already tried everything we can, but still can’t break through the glass trapping us inside. Main command says we should try our best, but what they are really saying is that they are leaving us to die in here.”“Well, it’s not like I can blame them. After all, I am the one who led us into this mess

    Arran didn’t have time for this, nor was he ready to explain himself to anybody.The big man seemed like he wanted to explain himself, but Arran immediately stopped him from speaking.“Listen, I don’t have time to deal with this. We are currently on a tight deadline, so you can explain yourself after I finally get you guys out of there.”Hearing Arran’s words, the big man was first stunned before the implications of what he said dawned on him.Feeling doubtful, the big man asked Arran tentatively for clarification.“Do you mean you have a way to break the glass and get us out?”Arran nodded in affirmation.Immediately, the big man became incomparably excited. Forgetting about the other cadets that had become wary of him, he quickly focused on Arran and asked.“How are you going to do it? Quickly, explain it to me.”Throwing the big man an annoyed look, Arran said, “Would you rather I explain myself or just get you out of there directly?”“Uh, sorry. Please carry on.”The big man was e

  • Kingsman Return   Arran’s Boundary

    Boundary!Arran’s voice was like a foghorn, carrying a magnetic sound that cleared the confusion in people’s hearts.The cadets, after hearing it, were brought back from their daze. Now the way they looked at Arran changed.No longer were they suspicious and wary of Arran. Now they were very excited.The cadets hadn’t been able to react in time when Arran started removing his space suit and, when they wanted to stop him, he suddenly revealed his wings to them. This had given all of them pause as they finally realized that Arran was a Kingsman.This had caught them by surprise, but they were still excited to hear the word Arran called out.Boundary... this was an ability that the kingsmen possessed. With this ability, all laws were in their command.Inside their boundary, a Kingsman was king!This was a saying used to describe the power that boundary granted a Kingsman. With it, they could influence and change the laws and rules as they pleaded.Finally, the cadets understood how Arran

    Having rested enough, Arran stood and was prepared to leave.By now, the cadets had already dealt with the monster with the help of Arran’s unit, who broke into the glass cage to assist them.Despite Arran being weakened, his boundary still persisted, as its activation wasn’t affected by any conditions. As long as a Kingsman wanted, their boundaries could continue to exist, even if they were dead or unconscious. It would also still maintain the last effect it had by feeding off the energy in the universe.Without their troubling regenerative ability, the tentacle monsters were nothing to the cadets who weeded hem them out in short order.After the battle ended, the cadets checked the rest of their inventory to see how many supplies they had remaining.“Leader, we are almost out of ammo. Most of us used our last energy cells in the battle and can’t participate in subsequent battles.”The big man frowned when questioned when he heard this.“How did we use up so many energy cells in one

    Boom!Ahhhh!Bang!A powerful explosion rocked the entire space cruiser, causing it to shake unstably as everything inside was sent flying in an uncontrollable mess.The cadets were taken by surprise by the sudden occurrence and they ended up being thrown around from all the shaking before hitting the hard metal walls and floor after everything had ended.In a flash, the cadets sprang to their feet and surveyed their surroundings quickly to defend against any possible attacks.“Where did that come from? Were we attacked?”“No, it seemed like something exploded just now. I wonder what it is?”“Do you think we stepped into a trap?”“Everybody silence. Now is not the time to be asking questions. Don’t be distracted and watch your surroundings in case of an ambush.”As the cadets discussed amongst themselves, the big man suddenly interrupted and scolded all of them. They didn’t know what had happened to they all needed to maintain incredible vigilance.At this moment, another explosion ro

  • Kingsman Return   Survival

    Arran suddenly jumped out of the spaceship, not giving anybody the chance to stop him. In a panic, a few cadets jumped after him, hoping to save him. Although it was possible to survive in the void of space, the cadets hadn’t reached that level, so they were still very vulnerable to cosmic radiation and other hostile elements of space.The rest of the cadets soon followed through, as they didn’t have a choice. Staying on the ship meant being blown up. But as long as they managed to get far away from the ship, they might be able to survive.That was if they didn’t get implicated in the space battle that was going on outside.The space suits the cadets wore were equipped with fusion-fueled rocket boosters with a built-in oxygen supply that was recyclable, so even if they were stuck in space, there was no need for them to worry about running out of air to breathe.When the cadets made it outside, they first searched for Arran. They were expecting to see him frozen in the cold void of spa

We request rescue and assistance to return.”“If anybody can hear me, my location beacon has been set to publicly broadcast on all internal channels. Please send help immediately. Some of us are injured and need medical attention.”The big man, whose name is Burton, sent a call requesting for help to the internal channel of the Aeth army stationed here. Around him were a few cadets whom he had managed to find after they were sent flying by the shockwaves of the explosion.All of these cadets were quite lucky. They hadn’t been sent flying too far away and had ended up close to each other, so they were able to gather quickly to support themselves. The only bad news was that they were still close to the main battlefield.In the distance, the cadets could make out fast-zipping figures spiraling through space, chasing one another while shoo

    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

    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

    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
