Arran woke up feeling refreshed...
Shifting around languidly on the soft bed, Arran stretched his body fully before lazily getting up from bed. Checking the time, Arran discovered that four hours had passed since he fell asleep.
Looking around his room, Arran discovered that it was dark. He remembered that when he went to sleep; it was still bright outside, so Arran became momentarily confused after suddenly waking up in darkness. Fortunately, there was a dim light on in the room, so Arran could still vaguely make out his surroundings.
After thinking for a moment, Arran eventually figured out why it was suddenly dark after waking up. Turns out, the space station was in its night cycle, so all the brightness during the day cycle had been turned off. This was a very common function for the station to simulate the day and night cycles of planets, and there was nothing to worry about. Because Arran had not experienced something like this, had been momentarily unnerv

Kingsman Return Feeling Complicated For Some Reason
Arran was torn about what to get for dinner, mainly because he didn't know where to get it. Thinking for a moment, Arran started to consider how to resolve the issue of finding food."I wonder if this auction house has a room service option where they would deliver the food to my room?""Hmm, considering how sophisticated this all looks, they definitely do..."Arran thought of getting the auction house to deliver his meal to him. But after thinking for a moment, Arran rejected this idea."Forget it. I'm supposed to be exploring the auction house and checking the sights, so eating indoors kinda defeats the purpose. Then again, that reminds me... I think the person who showed me my room mentioned something about being on call at all hours to attend to any of my needs."Arran thought about this for a moment as he remembered what happened earlier during the day. Although he had been extremely tired, Arran could still recall hearing something of the sor

May I know how I can be of help to you, sir?"The sweet voice on the other end of the call introduced herself.Hearing her words, Arran quickly complimented her, "Elena, that's a nice name and it rings well with your sweet voice.""Thank you, sir, for the compliment," Elena responded.Then she said professionally, "Well then, sir, what would you like me to do for you?""Do you have any concerns that need addressing or questions you need to be answered? Would you like me to come over personally to serve you, or do you want to arrange for other services for you?""Please tell me whatever request you may have and I assure you will be completely satisfied..."Listening to Elena speaking so enthusiastically, Arran, who was curious about a few things, took t
Kingsman Return Touring The Auction House 2
Arran waited for five minutes when he finally received a call from Elena, telling him she was outside his suite. Having waited for a while now, Arran was ready to get moving, so he quickly stepped out.In the hallway outside his suite, Arran saw a small car just like the one that had ferried Arran and Trapp to the auction house, only it was smaller and more compact. This car reminded Arran of the golf carts back on earth, but with a more futuristic and advanced look to it.Seated in the car was a cute and lovely looking girl. She had dark caramel brown skin and coffee brown eyes that assented her light burgundy hair.When Arran first laid his eyes on her, he was slightly surprised by her appearance.Elena's appearance was not outstanding and she could be said to be quite average, but there was something about her that drew Arran's attention to her. Elena possessed a certain kind of charm that captivated Arran, not enough that he would be charmed to like h

Facing Elena's thinly veiled invitation, Arran smiled and gave a baffling response."As tempting as that sounds, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that side of you. Perhaps some other time."As Arran said this, he deftly removed his arms from Elena's embrace before moving to keep some distance between the two of them.Arran's reply and his subsequent series of actions left Elena standing in place, stunned. She was very confused by what was happening.Having thought that Arran would agree to her invitation for a little tryst, being suddenly rejected caught her off guard.Still, although Elena was momentarily disarmed, she was able to recover quickly and make sufficient come back."Ah, is that so? That's too bad then... big sister thought she almost had you. This is good too. If you had really accepted, then your big sister would have really shown you that she wasn't so easy like that."Elena quickly brushed her earlier actions as a jok
Kingsman Return Trapp's Hidden Agenda
"Isn't this Arran's pet cat that's always hanging on his shoulders and taking a nap? What are you doing out here all the way from Arran? did you get lost?"At the place where Trapp had noticed the shadow, he actually discovered to his surprise that the shadow turned out to be Ladon, who had been missing from Arran's side for a while now. Trapp was surprised to see her here.Trapp looked around the place, thinking that Arran would be around the area since Ladon was here, but after checking he did not see any traces of Arran, so he guessed that Ladon must have wandered all this way on her own."Heh, really, that guy is such a terrible owner. how could he have left you alone to wander on your own? Doesn't he know that there are people who like to capture other people's pets and subdue them for themselves in the universe? Even in this place, one can never be too careful, as it is not entirely safe at all.""Hey little cat, how about you leave that guy and fol
Kingsman Return Blackfire Shadow Dimension
Trapp towered over his captive like a predator would his prey, his body emitting waves of black gas that spread into the surroundings, turning the area into an inky black zone that was isolated from everywhere else.Looking at Trapp's location from outside, one would not notice any difference from how it was previously. Apart from the place seeming darker than usual and having more shadows on the walls, the alley was no different from any other dark alley in the main area. There was also not a single person to be seen on sight.But Trapp and his captive were still there. They were only isolated from the main world by Trapp's power.This ability that Trapp displayed was the ability to affect reality with one's own powers, thereby creating a separate dimension in which only you existed. This dimension was connected to the main material world, but it was not located anywhere in the main material world.The level of power needed to be able to affect reality i
Kingsman Return Trapp's Charm
Just as Trapp's captive was thinking about what to do, she suddenly heard Trapp's voice saying, "you've been so silent for a long time. I wonder what's going on through that little head of yours? Are you still unwilling to talk and want to find a way to escape?"Hearing Trapp's words, the woman looked up to stare at him. But the only thing she could see was the inky blackness of Trapp's hood. She couldn't make out his appearance at all. That made it difficult to know what expression Trapp was making and judge what he was thinking.In the end, the woman could not continue remaining silent forever. If she wanted to hug the huge thigh that was Trapp's leg, she had to say something."Tanis... that is my name," the woman finally said to Trapp.Behind his hood, Trapp smiled and replied to her, "Well then, Tanis, care to enlighten me as to why you were following me? It could have been because you admired my extraordinary countenance and wanted to get a good look

It had to be said that even though the station was in its night cycle, the main area was still as bustling as it had been earlier in the day when Arran had flown over the city.This was literally the definition of a city that never slept.Before Arran started his tour officially, Elena had first taken him to sample a few of the local delicacies of the main area.Arran had visited the most popular restaurants and eateries both inside and outside the auction house. There were different types of foods and ingredients that originated from countless planets and realms.

Final Chapter

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.

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.

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!

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
