It's been a few hours and the evening dinner had just begun. Sitting besides Arthur was a middle aged man who looked like a older and more mature version of Arthur. He had silky silver hair and bright black eyes, alongside his chiselled and angular face. He was Arthur's father, Brian Thompson. He was wearing a silver suit that complements the colour of his hair, and his eyes were lowered, covering the calculative glint flashing in his eyes under his long lashes. "Arthur how was school today?" Hearing the familiar voice, Arthur lifted his head and looked over his father. A middle aged woman sat there with her head tilted over and rested on her palm, and her eyes looking straight at Felix. She was a very beautiful woman, who had long silky hair, smooth jade skin, and a curvaceous figure. Her face was round and delicate, with her pinkish lips, slender brows, straight nose, and a pair of calculative eyes. "School was fine mother, nothing unexpected happened today." Arthur smiled
After calming himself down, Arthur ran back upstairs and grabbed his Neo-VR watch inside his bag. He now understood why his bag felt so strange when he stared at it earlier. Dammit! If he'd known such a thing would happen, he shouldn't have left his bag alone earlier… He should have cast it to the skies instead! Should he just destroy the watches now? At least he could avert a massive storm that's headed for him. He glanced at the watch wrapped around his wrist, then, the image of a cute little girl popped up in his head. Dammit, wouldn't everything just go to waste? He bought it from his dar- ahem! He bought it from Katelyn at an enormous sum! Ignoring price, just the fact he bought it from Katelyn was enough to increase the value of the watch by leaps and bounds! It's value was more than something he robbed off a business rival. To think Fay knowing about this would force me into reasoning something as dark as throwing away his valuable watch… Sigh… "Argh! Just you wait
That Bastard! Why is he here now of all times? Does he really think I won't beat him up after what he did last time? Jacob glared at the hooded figure standing behind the hunched over Robert. His eyes were burning with fury as he clenched his fists, and gave Arthur a mean smirk. "It seems you haven't changed in the slightest, out Last Minute Hero. You are still that spoiler brat who doesn't have a life." Arthur smirked at this, his eyes glowing in a faint light as he straightened his spine. "Haha, Jacob… Still as humourous as ever… Daring to hit a friend of mine? It seems you've forgotten who you're dealing with?" Arthur grinned as he drew his left hand out of his pocket and cracked his knuckles. Jacob merely scoffed before suddenly dashing forward, knocking Robert who stood directly in front of him to the side. "Shit! Arthur and Jacob are about to have another clash? Dammit, someone get me my Starblet, I'm streaming this to our private Starnet Channel!" "Increase the size of t
Jacob was humiliated! Kicking and screaming while also bathing in the fountain, only a god would understand how much rage and anger he felt at this minute. He felt like shoving Arthur's head under the tires of a moving bus! "Hehe, stupid Jacob… Do you really think you can beat me? I'm better than you in nearly everything except humiliating oneself in front of others!" Of course, Arthur wouldn't let go of this chance to quench the nearly extinguished flames burning ferociously in Jacob's heart. He would pour water on the flames, making sure it died out completely! But, life didn't always go as planned… For where there was people trying to put an end to a problem, there where others wanting that problem to blow up and escalate… "Such a humiliating scene displayed before someone he was trying to court? And he lost to the person he considers his nemesis? In just how many ways had this little baby lost his face today?" Everyone turned in the direction of the feminine voice that reso
[Tempest Of The Starry Night] has arrived! “Welcome Players, to the Spirit Gathering Forest! The race track has been predetermined by @[Early Morning Chaos], and the race would begin in a few hours… Please familiarize yourself with the environment before that time…” The sweet sounding voice of a female sounded directly in heads of all the players, and her words brought a frown to their faces. Some of them looked around themselves while others had begun to move around in order to get used to their bodies. Some richer and more intelligent players had began to spend their real life money on purchasing premium packages and boosts. Even Robert [Early Morning Chaos], had purchased a few packages of healing potions. Arthur on the other hand was busy modifying and upgrading the car he brought with a smirk on his face. He had already thrown $10000 into upgrading this car he brought for a mere $20000, and he couldn't help but smile at his investment. Since he was only able to purchase low
Arthur's eyes teared up as he narrowly evaded a terrifying crescent slash that nearly cleaved his fine head in two symmetrical halves. He still wanted to cry, but had no tears. “Slash! Slash! Slash!” “Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!” Attacks were unleashed, the target evaded without much effort, and the game of cat chasing mouse began! The movements of the two contestants seemed to be in a loop, without a single unique movement or technique besides: “Slash! Slash! Slash!” “Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!” The other players, Lilith , Fay and Robert included, ran after the two crazily all around the forest without pausing to rest or wait. They were all hyped up at the witness of another major fight, and to this, they ran like criminal supervillains on drugs. Back to the fight, [Energy: 105/200] Arthur frowned in tears and pain, even with as much torture he was going through now, his petty and disgraceful energy was about to run out on him. He was terrified now as every movement he make uses not le
Killing her would only give him the meagre bonus of 1000 EXP and a few trashy rewards like her sword and some unwanted money… It would also bring the [Player Hunter Mark] upon himself and a bounty to whosoever kills him. 1000 EXP isn't worth getting chased around by mad players, as he would lose a lot of time meant for practice to either instability or maybe insanity after getting chased around like a rat. In his eyes, the profits of killing Felicia isn't worth his suffering. All he could do was simply ignore her for the time being. She has a volatile character, but wasn't dumb or stupid enough to attack someone who defeated her twice in a row… "Get up, you lost." Arthur spat coldly as he offered his hand hesitantly to the struggling Felicia with a frown on his face, he really wish he'd knocked her out but she had more Endurance[END] than he thought! "You moron. That was just dumb luck… Don't act cocky because you defeated me just this one time." Despite her provoking words, she
Jack balanced himself in his seat, relaxed his arm around his steering wheel and loosened his shoulders. He looked out through the window, dozens of fierce looking vehicles aligned in preparation for the race. A race that he must attain victory in - just for the money at least, or maybe to rub it in Jacob's face that he won. [29] … [28] … [27] "Weapons and gear, checked. Defensive and control systems up, vehicle power accumulated to the max." [21] … [20] … [19] "Shield and Missiles activated. Hydraulics, Engine and Suspension upgraded to the max." [10] … [9] … [8] Jack took in a deep breath, and put on his game face - a cold and expressionless mask. In a few seconds, the race of a lifetime would kickstart, and there should be only one winner… [4] … [3] … [2] Jack grinned, as he stepped on accelerate speeding past a few stunned players and leaving them to eat dust. His fierce headstart made him reach the Top 10 in the few few seconds. [GO!] "Dammit! Everyone, take that idi
"Hehe, the idiot must have noticed the death of his followers by now and must have understood that his target is being assisted by a powerful entity." Rylex chuckled to herself. Her face was vibrant and she was brimming with energy and excitement. "…" Syx turned her head to face Rylex, staring at the side of the goddess's face. Her glowing eyes flashed as she collapsed into the sea of thought, and in a flash, her expression went blank. "It won't be long until he starts to feed me more of his stronger followers, each of them as a probe to guage my strength." Rylex rolled her eyes with a sneer, her aura was shrouded with arrogance and pride, "Unless some elder god were to make their move, even the god of death himself would he unable to stop me." She was a bit pumped, and it showed with her not even trying to hide it. After a few seconds, she was finally able to calm herself and pick up her speech. "If not for my inability to leave Jack here and just—" Rylex paused, her brows furr
"Is she doing okay now? The monsters have already been cleared out, and your father is probably awake now." Luke said as he sat besides Fay who was watching Meng sleep.Fay sighed before turning to face Luke with a bright smile on her face. "Meng Meng's doing fine for a fairy her age. She'll be up in a day or two." Fay answered as she grabbed Meng's little hand.Luke smiled broadly before rising up, and looking outside through the open window. His eyes narrowed as it locked upon the silhouette of a creature watching them from afar."Say, what actually made you guys to remain here instead of heading back home." Luke looked over his shoulder to Fay and asked."That's top secret, but I think you should know." Fay sighed heavily before continuing with a frown, "There's a powerful universal weapon hidden here in the capital. was found by Meng and I after stumbling on a secret dimensional portal inside one of the hidden castle rooms.""Would you mind telling me what you saw in the dimensio
Luke hunched over, panting as his eyes swept across the bloodied battlefield before locking on the the dead body of the almighty dimensional phatom stone golem.[You have surprisingly been true to your words before a lower-lifeform!][Royal Charm Instant Rank Up!][Respect +10]"Damn, after all that honesty, I didn't get a new skill? Why is this system wicked to me all of a sudden? Who cares about levelling up? I have !" Luke muttered before straightening his back with a slight frown on his face as he let out a low sigh. Before Luke was badly mutilated body of the dimensional stone phatom golem which lay motionless on the ground alongside it's dead minions. "He actually defeated that dreadful dimensional monster, and even had been toying with it this whole time!" "That prince actually didn't move! He really subdued the powerful monster without moving from the spot!""Almighty prince Luke, almighty elven god! Invincibility under the heavens!"The awe-filled cheers of the human soldi
Mylos clung unto the walls of a tall building, gazing past the massive fence to view the plethora of houses before him. With his demonic vision, he was able to see objects metres away as if they were just an inch away from him. "Just a few hunters patrolling by that alley to the west. I should be able to avoid them if I'm careful. What I need now is a place to stay the night." Mylos spoke softly with his head bowed in thought, and brows knitted. In his bag, he had some “credits” which humans deemed useful for transactions. He calculated having enough for more than a few months of rent, but decided on paying for just a few nights since he would be mobile. "I can also last some weeks more without any food, but I'll be forced to find a meal if I get too weak from these hunger pangs." Mylos frowned, then he shook his head and clenched his right fist, "Let me get away from here." As soon as Mylos clenched his fingers digging into the wall into a fist, he crushed a part of the wall
A young boy ran briskly through a forest with a frown on his extremely handsome face. He was wearing a plain black hoodie with the hood pulled over his head to cover his hair. Strapped to the side of waist was a sword still in it's sheath. Everytime the boy's feet landed on the ground, he would appear metres away in the distance like a phantom without even leaving an afterimage. It was as if he was using a strange version of teleportation. Chasing after him was a blue haired girl on a bike were a crop top and a short shirt. A large claymore was strapped to her back, but it wasn't sheathed, boldly displaying it's blade. The dark grey blade of the claymore which was riddled with glowing green runes gave off an intimidating and dangerous vibe to whoever set their eyes on it. From the size alone, one could only imagine how powerful the wielder must be to have the ability to use it in a battle. The forest today was exceptionally quiet except for some tweets from the scarce birds f
"Sit." Mylos blinked, then sat down on the chair facing that of his father. He stared into the man's eyes, his brows were furrowed and shoulders tense. He seemed anxious, but did not give himself away with any strange action. "Father, I—" The Chaos Eminence waved his hand, causing Mylos to shut his mouth and look away. After he had given his son the signal to shut his mouth, the Chaos Eminence drops his hand and laid it upon the table between them. "Don't bother yourself…" The Chaos Eminence sighed as he closed his eyes and laid back in his seat, "A large number of them had attacked the building you told me you would hide in. I guess, that was a very smart move." "No father. This has gotten to something beyond what I am able to handle." Mylos cut in after listening to all his father had to say, his brows still furrowed as he was still in deep thoughts, "I believe you know what I saw there." The Chaos Eminence smiled warmly as he picked up a glass cup filled with water and
“Clang!” Dancing under the moonlight, the sparks of their blades clashing lit up the scattered shadows. Blood was sprayed all over the auditorium walls, and charred markings were blasted all over the exquisite ornate doors. Dead bodies lay on the ground — most mutilated, while some were burnt to a crisp. Their swords were shattered and their armour rent with claw marks over the metallic surface of the metal. “Clang!” In this blood soaked scenery. The duo clashed without a second of relent, their attacks and counterattacks looked perfectly synched — fluid and graceful, without a second of hesitation or stagger, nor a shred of relent. After seconds of clashing fiercely, they pulled away and gave some space for breathing. Finally, the faces of both swordsmen were revealed as the gleam of the moonlight shone on them. "Haha! Sword Eminences are truly annoying creatures, I don't even have the chance to breath." Standing in the moonlight with his head slightly bowed, he grinned
Mylos had gotten himself accustomed to the relentless attacks from demons. He believed that they were drawn to his hidden ability somewhat, and must want it for their worthless selves. He could do nothing about it. "I have been promised ten thousand gold Yreo for your wretched head, youngling. It's a shame I was too late in reaching you, or you would have made me easy gold to last more than a few years." Mylos smirked coldly as he held his sword, not making a move as he scrutinized his opponent. Alas, his little head carried a heavy bounty which numerous hunters gunned for despite his status and reputation. For that only, he'd been constantly attacked by troupes of hunters in unison with the demons after his ability. He had never been allowed to rest with their targets behind him, and had been killing attackers left and right. Although he never thought that the demons would also gain a reward for hunting him. He believed that only the hunters from other dumb races were after his
Silence. The winds were agitated, and so were the steeds risen by the Imperial Flame Army. The vast plains was shrouded in an icy mist, and one could spot a few decapitated bodies scattered throughout the battlefield with a few limbs torn off. Holding the reins of his humble steed, Yin Huo who wore an emotionless mask, cast his gaze over the vast horizons. After a few seconds, he finally stabilised his armoured stallion was. "Esteemed Southern Commander, Yin Hou! We have already received estimates of the enemy's total forces." A short and stout bearded man who rode a dark stallion inched over and whispered in Yin Hou's ears, "The army seem to be marching over in this direction…" Yin Huo paused. His emotionless eyes suddenly began to flicker with a righteous light, and from those short flickers were birthed wild flames. "Heh." Yin Hou opened his mouth to speak in a deep and cold voice, his gaze held over the vast horizons, the plains devoid of human life or activity.
