He has a broad smile as he stares at Twenny and she stares back.Twenny clears her throat, “Ahem….Aren’t you supposed to say something?”“Ah, You look beautiful today.” Flint smiles again, then.*BANG* Twenny use a stick to hit him. Flint holds his head as if he’s been wronged, Twenny walks past him and turns to him. “You’re supposed to say ‘Good morning teacher’.” Flint is surprised, “Eh?” Twenny grips the stick as Flint shivers, “G..Good morning teacher!” he bows. Twenny smiles, “Very good. Follow.”Twenny leads Flint out of the village to a plain just on the other side of the village. Flint gets curious and asks, “So, what are you going to teach me?”“Hmph, it’s a surprise.” In Twenny’s head, “I have no idea….. Well, I guess I can teach him energy sense.” They arrive at the center of the plain and she points to the ground as Flint sits. Twenny opens her arms

Patricia smiles, “How was your lesson dear?” She gets her seat on a chair this time.Flint stares at them and looks away, “It was great. Though I’m yet to make progress.” He goes to the house. John walks to him and pats his back, “Don’t worry son. The first time is always the hardest.” Flint nods and enters the house, he meets Aku sitting on the couch asleep. Flint smiles and heads to the kitchen, he sees 2 bowls on the table and Licia sitting on a chair also sleeping. “She slept trying to wait for me. She hasn’t finished her food, so cute.” He walks up to the Licia and gently woke her up. “I’m home Li.”Licia rubs her eyes, “Welcome home big brother. *Yawns* Dinner is ready.” She looks over at the table. Flint takes a seat beside her, “Were you waiting for me so we eat
Light and Darkness: Barimah's Odyssey Martial Arts Training.
Twenny dresses up as she looks at a screen, no one else can see. She chooses an orange dress with a ribbon tying her hair and stuffed animal.“So, I repeat the series of moves to execute Martial Arts Techniques. Techniques are different from skill. Skills use EP techniques use SP. I’ll wing it.” She steps out of her house to see the 2 doing as told. Aku couldn’t hide her smile as Flint gets on his feet, she signals them to follow as she leads them back to the grass plains.The 2 stands before her as she begins teaching holding a stick and a board.“The basics of combat have 3 forms, offense, defense and both. Offense is to deal damage to your opponent.” She strikes the stick forward like a sword. “Defense is to block damage but it can’t be prevented.” She holds her shield up and lowers her center of gravity pretending to block an attack. “Damage can’t be prevented when an attack lands, even if it deals 0 damage it still affects you.” She pokes Flint with a stick. “Not painful but you f

It’s late afternoon at The Barimah’s house, Aku enters followed by Flint both looking exhausted, tired and dirty, covered in brown stuff. Each has a stick strapped to their side, and a leaf shield or just a big leaf on their back. Licia met them at the door, she looks up to them uttering the only words, “You Stink!” the words stab the 2 like knives as they stumble, Licia runs away covering her nose.Flint tries to explain, “Li! Wait, its training!” tears threaten to fall but he holds it in, he turns to look at Aku.Tears flow from Aku’s eyes as she forces not to let them, “2 weeks, 2 weeks that spoiled brat used us like toys. First, it’s 100 swings, 500, 1000, then we fought monsters WITH A STICK! THEN A SHIT BATH!” She throws her sword onto the floor. “THAT DEMON’S TRYING TO KILL US!!!” She yells as a red aura surrounds her but she doesn’t notice it. Flint gives a wry smile as his thoughts, “True making us fight monsters with these things is madness.” He remembers a scene where Aku’s

At the Barimah’s house, the first ray of light touched Flint’s forehead and he woke up. He sits up stares at the table on his opposite, a screen appears before him. He takes a deep breath, “System. I want power and wealth. I want to surpass any and every noble.” Silence.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL: 6……….DC: Power can be granted, but you must be worthy.

Light and Darkness: Barimah's Odyssey Lesson 2
Twenny looks at the crystal, then at them. “Once this crystal activates, the area will be sealed until all the monsters are defeated. Also, I’m not taking part in this.” She turns and walks away to the edge of the plains leading to a forest. They’re about half a kilometer away and they were warming up as Twenny was walking. Twenny sends EP into the crystal as it glows. “That’s all this thing does. SUMMONING WEAKEST CLASS MONSTERS.” A runic circle forms before Twenny as monsters between level 0 to 4 appear from the circle reaching 30 in numbers. “Go.” The monsters charge at Flint and Aku as they get ready to fight. The monsters ranging from slimes, goblins, orcs, mutated animal monsters to noble monsters of the same class.Akua chooses a great axe from the piles as Flint readies his broadsword as the 10 monsters rush to him and 10 towards Aku.

Another day at the Barimah’s house, on this particular day there is a guest waiting for Flint. This guest approaches the house as he greets John getting ready to go to the farm.“Morning Mr. Barimah. Has Flint woken up?” John turns, “Oh Morning Chuck. No, he’s still asleep.” He waves for Chuck to go inside.Chuck enters the house and sees Aku getting down the stairs to get to cleaning, Chuck leans on the wall and strikes his handsome smile at her. “Morning beautiful.” Aku walks past him, “It’s too early to deal with this.” She walks past him. “Also, your zipper is down.”“Huh?” Chuck looks down, “No wonder it felt breezy.” He tries to act cool and closes it. He heads upstairs as his face is red mainly because he’s been holding his breath because of what just happened. He smacks his cheeks, “My 13th attempt was a failure, I’ve got more time to rebuild my image.” He sees Licia about to knock on Flint’s door, “Licia dear, could you not do that.”Licia is confused, “Why not?

Ruler verses united god
“There’s one more thing.” The goddess speaks. Thorn looks at her clearly interested. The goddess continues. “If we unite our powers, we can win. Though you’re powerful, our attacks clearly had some effect on you.”“But how?” the shadow god speaks, “Even with our combined attacks the result is the same…..unless….we fuse our powers.” The gods are even shocked by his statement but it is their only option.The fire god speaks, “Then I will receive our powers and defeat this fiend.” The gods agree, Thorn finds this interesting so he’s watching eating a fruit.The gods channel all their power into the god of fire, his level remains the same but his stats clearly rise above that of a primordial god trespassing into the territory or Rulers. The fire god is enshrouded by energy releasing wave after wave of heat and energy.Thorn looks at this with interest in thought, “I’ll have to record this and send it to Master or her kin later.” He opens his hand and an obsidian in the form of a sphere dr

I wonder what tune they’d be singing if they saw them.”Thunder god bellows, “And outmatched!” Thunders across the sky.Thorn looks at him with an exasperated face, “For real.” His eyes glows in thought, “The strongest amongst you is level 196, my level is twice that. Well it can’t be helped.” Then he speaks, “Deities’ power often get to their heads in a couple years.”Goddess of wind raises her hand, “If you’re not going to surrender quietly then DIE!” she swings her hand as a tornado is made and falls on Thorn.Thorn appraises himself.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL 9Name: Thorn KailaniRace

This pantheon is ruled by gods who dress as nomadic warriors with males mostly bare-chested. The gods are making an announcement to their army on the start of a new war.Far away from this place, on a small floating island covered by clouds. Anna is watching, she’s spying on this pantheon hoping to gain information on the war. The Chief god of the pantheon steps up, “The Demon realm has declared war on us.” He said, “And so we will respond in kind.”Anna watches from afar, “So, war is upon us. It looks like all the pantheons will join the war this time, Master moved the entire demon realm just for this war.” She sighs.Anna keeps observing this pantheon. After what seems like an hour, Anna spreads her wings and flies back to her pantheon. She arrives in the Valkyrie spire, she notices war preparations also going on.

Thorn arrives in his cave and closes the door behind him, a figure like the grimm reaper arrives behind him. The figure is human but has parts of its flesh missing as gold flames comes from the missing parts. This figure is Sers’ true form.Sers lands behind Thorn, “Why did you reveal so much to him?”Thorn glances behind him, “Was it wrong to do so? The kid has to know why he got your attention.”Sers sighs, “It’s not wrong, we just didn’t know how to reveal it to him. As for why he got our attention….Hmmm, think Twenny should tell him.” Sers moves towards a refrigerator in the corner.Thorn shrugs, “Pushing responsibility around, so Xeno like.” He notices Sers reaching for a beer, a chill goes down his spine and he snatches the beer from Sers.Sers is taken aback, “Hey, What’s the big idea?”Thorn puts the beer back in the fridge and gives him juice, “No alcohol for you unless your siblings are here to restrain you.” Sers feels hurt and Thorn continues, “The last time Master got dru

Secrets not meant to be known
Flint hovers above the ground as he glares at Thorn, Thorn grins and gives him the ‘come on’ wave. Flint taps his feet off the ground vanishing from sight like a blur, Thorn raises his hand up. *CLANG* Flint swung his sword down and Thorn blocked it, Thorn twists and kicks Flint’s stomach. *CRACK* Flint is blown away. Thorn’s eyes open wide as his thoughts, “I didn’t kill him, right? I held back a lot.” Flint smashes into a tree, he slowly gets up as his HP recovers. Thorn grins, “The Master really made a splendid bloodline, sadly it can’t be compared to hers.” Thorn makes a blood barrier as a beam of light hits it, “A fake bloodline is this powerful? No wonder Master could never beat the Messengers of Light.” The blood barrier turns light and disintegrates. Flint taps his feet on the ground and appears before Thorn, Thorn makes a sword and fights back. *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* Flint swings his sword right next to Thorn’s neck as he moves back a bit and dodges.

A week passes as Flint keeps training and comprehending the law of space, Flint is on the training grounds practicing. Flint swings his sword as space seems to bend with his sword.“297. 298. 299. 300.” He drops his sword and rests on the ground, “I didn’t think it’d be this tiring. Somehow this feels harder than Teacher’s training.” Flint raises his hand as a ball materializes in his hand. “Space ball.” He throws it at a tree. *PING* The tree is twisted inwards and outwards till it breaks *CRACK THUD*Flint is able to materialize space, move and control space with ease. Flint grins, “To think I can do this with just 5% Comprehension. I wonder what I’ll be able to do when I master it. Time to return to Thorn, I’m done with the training.” Flint gets up and starts walking back to Thorn’s cave.Flint arrives before the cave with it’s big door and many locks, “Did it have so many locks?” He knocks on the door…..Silence…..He knocks again.“Yeah, I’m coming!” *THUD THUD BANG BANG CLANG CLAN

Law Comprehension
Thorn sits on a chair and offers one to Flint, he forgot Licia is still there. “At some point during the Journey to grow stronger, levels become…..bullshit.” Flint is confused and Thorn continues, “You can have the highest level and skills but if you can’t make good use out of it then you’re weak. I’ve witness people fight with a huge level gap yet the lower levelled one won. Combat potential can’t be measure, it’s just your capability to face opponents.”Flint thinks about it, “So if my combat potential is high, I might be able to match up to her?”Thorn’s thoughts, “Sorry but no. Rank also has a say in it, Twenny is a Tittle Calamity, you’ll need more than combat potential to fight on equal footing with her.” Then he speaks, “Against others yes.”Flint feels relieved though he misunderstands, then a question pops into his mind. “Can…you tell me more about Teacher?”Thorn rubs his chin, “There’s not much to say, she’d mostly stay indoors with her sibling watching movies and eating sn

Aku and Flint go back to their usual days of helping the ‘fam’. The sun rises on the Barimah household, the light falls on A sleeping Flint. Flint wakes up and stretches with a smile on his face, “What a great morning.” He gets out of bed to the closet and changes into his everyday wear. Flint walks out of his room going downstairs to the bathroom then stops, “That’s odd, I don’t sense Licia around.” Aku is in the kitchen cooking, “Licia went to Twenny’s old cave, she said she’s got a friend there.” Flint’s head pokes through the door, “Did she say what kind of friend?” Aku shakes her head, “Nope, I think it’s an imaginary one since Twenny is the only person to think of living there.” Flint raises a brow, “And monsters?” Aku shrugs, “We haven’t a monster in these parts since Twenny moved in. I’m certain she did something to keep the mo
