“So, am I in?” Erin asked as the two prepared to go on the mission. They were already inside the DME building and the other crews were also preparing.
“Yes, you are. Prepare yourself fast, Rin,” Carlo said as soon as he entered the prep room.
Kane raised his brows. It seemed like Erin was close to team 9 since she even knew the team leader. Maybe it was true when they said that she was a trainee.
“Oh? Our baby Erin is here! Are you going on a mission with us?” Jeffrey said as soon as he saw Erin inside the prep room.
“Why is she a baby when we’re just the same age?” Xander asked with a pout.
“It’s because she is my baby.” Jeffrey laughed then he looked at Kane who seemed to be silently observing them. “If you’re confused, Erin was supposed to be in our team but her father didn’t allow her to start dungeon clearing with us.”
After Jeffrey’s e

Kristoff glared at Kane after they entered the dungeon. He was already doing great as a member of team nine and group three’s leader. Because of him, things started to get awry and the promotion that he was waiting for was canceled. “Why did you have to mess up at the most important moment? Didn’t you know that if you completed that mission, the director would’ve been impressed by your hard work?” his father shouted as soon as he arrived home. “I was just trying to prove to them that we didn’t need a scout in the team. It was Xander’s fault that everything was messed up!” Kristoff explained himself but his father just glared at him. “Kristoff, how many times do I have to tell you? You should’ve stayed silent if you couldn’t handle a situation. It’s either you stay silent or trample on it completely!” Kristoff looked away. Ever since he could remember, he always h
Languid Kane Chapter 13: Unfinished Business II
Kane could hear the steps of the boss monsters that almost shook the cave. Judging by the weight of its every step, it seemed like the hydra was a gigantic monster just like what he read in the books. He wiggled his body so that the rope would loosen up but he was getting impatient as he heard the steps getting closer to him.He moved his body and arms harder, attempting to just cut the rope with the stalagmite’s rough edges. He didn’t mind the cuts that he received from moving his body frantically, he was more focused on getting out of there on time or else he would lose his useless life.“Argh!” He groaned in pain when he got a deep cut on his back. “Why am I the only one getting cuts instead of these ropes?” He mumbled in frustration. His heart was beating wildly when he heard that the Hydra’s steps were getting faster and closer to him.Kane flailed his arms harshly and the rope was finally cut. “Those puppet b
Languid Kane Chapter 14: Survived
Kane opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar white ceiling. Where was he? Did he come to the afterlife? He laughed at his own joke but he immediately grimaced when his side hurt from laughing a little. Was going to the afterlife supposed to be painful?“What’s wrong with you?” Erin’s voice echoed so he looked to his side and saw her disheveled hair, worry was written all over her face. “Are you hurt somewhere?”Kane shook his head. “I was just surprised that I’m still alive…”“Don’t you even dare to joke about dying! Did you know how worried we were because you used yourself to distract that boss monster?” Her teary eyes made him feel bad.Though he had the thought of dying for them, he didn’t think about what they would feel. It must’ve been a burden to think that someone could’ve died to protect them.“I’m sorry…” That was all h
Languid Kane Chapter 15: Re-assessment
“Stop acting like a silly child and get inside!” Erin pushed him with an annoyed expression. It took her a few days to convince him to get himself re-assessed. Why was he suddenly chickening out?Kane could feel Erin pushing him forward but his feet were rooted to the ground. He could feel his hands tremble as he remembered the emotions he felt that day. He could vividly remember what happened as if it was just yesterday. What if something like that happened again? Would he really like to be slapped by the reality that he was weak and worthless?“Can we just go back?” Kane asked Xander since Erin seemed to be so hung up with him getting a re-assessment.“No way!” Xander pulled the stick of his finished lollipop and threw it away. “Our dear Erin wanted you to go. So, you must go.”Seriously? Why were they dragging him against his will? Their persistence was amazing.In the end, Kane had no choice but t
Languid Kane Chapter 16: Awakened Again?
“If you’re done with your pranks, why don’t you just go and register to the Awakening Center instead of wasting our time here?” the assessor said and took his phone. “I’ll inform the center, so you better go there. We can’t have an accidental awakener to be left unregistered.”Kane heard the dial tone on the assessor’s phone and he sighed when he started with the conversation. Since it already came to that, he had no choice but to bring himself again to the awakening center.He could hear his inner self groan in frustration. How did he even end up in such a mess? Why did he have to do such uncomfortable and bothersome things again?With his shoulders dropped, he left the re-assessment room and went to meet with the others who were waiting in the lobby. He sighed and shook his head when he saw Xander trying to disturb Erin while reading. They looked like normal college students, ones who were seemingly childis
Languid Kane Chapter 17: Gustav
“Please look here!”“Will you allow me to have an interview with you?”“Are you going to hold a press conference?”Flashes of camera. Crowds of people. Mics and recorders pointed towards him. Anticipating expressions of people waiting for his reply.Gustav couldn’t even frown lest he would be judged before he could open himself up. Since his cousin told him not to show any uneasiness in front of other people, he kept his face blank and looked around to avoid giving in to his emotions.As he looked to the side, he saw a man who seemed to be just around his age who wore a natural poker face. He couldn’t stop to think that it would’ve been nice to be him since he didn’t need to force himself to hide his emotions.The guy was followed by a familiar pair so Gustav furrowed his brows. It seemed like the two were chasing after the guy and Erin seemed to be calling out to him.Out of
Languid Kane Chapter 18: No. Never.
Kane entered a fast-food diner, aware that the two were still following him. He sat at a table in the corner near the door and waited for the two to arrive. Truthfully, he didn’t know how to take the information that was just revealed to him a while ago. They made it seem to be so simple but it would never be that simple. Two years ago, he waited to be accidentally awakened just like his brothers. He wanted to be an accidental awakener because there was a higher probability for them to awaken an active ability. However, he lost hope when his father finally dragged him to the awakening center and asked for a manual awakening. For him, it was the most humiliating moment of his life. How could he not feel that way when all his life, he had always been praised for being outstanding in everything he did. Whether it was quiz bee, sports, or martial arts; he always made sure that he would stand at the top—and he always did. When his eldest brother was accidentally a
Languid Kane Chapter 19: Fortune or Woe?
It was a dark night and the humid air made Kane’s skin feel sticky. He could feel his heartbeat fast as he was welcomed by a familiar forest. The trees, the almost muddy ground, and the familiar cave gave him the goosebumps.“What am I doing here?” he mumbled as he looked around looking for the people that he was expecting to see in that kind of situation.But he didn’t see anyone. He was all alone inside that familiar place and he could feel his anxiety rising up. He slightly trembled when he heard the familiar sound of footsteps coming from the cave.“Here we go again with the sound of footsteps that only I can hear.”He started to run but the footsteps just grew louder and closer. He ran and ran but the longer he did, the closer the sounds became as if it was chasing after it and soon enough it would reach him. He stopped in front of a dead-e
