After they'd all eaten, the atmosphere grew a bit cold with no one making any movements. Everyone stared at each other silently with numerous thoughts going wild in their heads as they looked at one another. Celicia picked up a napkin, and delicately wiped her mouth as she glared at the silent Arthur. She seemed as if she was going to strangle him if he didn't say a word in a given time frame — two seconds! "So mother, I'm taking the girls out for a date. Isn't it a good idea? We'll be back in the evening, and would not do anything strange." Arthur cleared his throat, then picked up his glass of water to drink. "Don't forget to use protection, and please avoid any overly crowded places…" Arthur choked on the water, and began to cough and wheeze as he teared up with his face beet red. After a while, he cleared his throat and wiped his lips calmly with his eyes gleaming in a demonic light. "Of course! We wouldn't forget something important at a time like that, would we?" Lilith, i
"This world you're residing in is known as the Mortal Hub; Various beings gather here as it is the central base leading to multiple realms and civilizations. In this world, there are entities acting as enforcers of law and order all over the realms. The primary enforcers of law, order and justice are the Heroes, the secondary enforcers are the Gods; and the tertiary enforcers are the Immortal Sovereigns." Lilith had risen from the desk and was sitting suspended in the middle of the air with her legs crossed. She tilted her head over and rested it on her palm, with her elbow on her legs. She had a a smile on her face as she explained in detail some common knowledge to Arthur. Her eyes gleaming in a soft light. Where is our noble main character, Arthur? Arthur sat on the bed with his legs crossed and knees spread apart. He was fiddling with the Neo-VR watch he had bought from a friend some time earlier, and he seemed as if he wasn't paying attention to Lilith 's words. Feeli
"Yawn…" School was still boring. Arthur who sat down in his seat was wondering how many times he'd yawned today. He was really wishing for something unexpected to happen now to save him from this boring plight called "schooling". It was already another new day after Arthur met Lilith, and the day fell on a regularly cold September Tuesday. The signs of the approaching winter was growing more prominent. He had just arrived in school, and was taking his second lesson for today- mathematics… Their maths teacher, a hot female on casual wear droned on and on with a friendly smile on her face. Her eyes gleamed anytime she solved a complicated question before the class. Most of the male and female students had already began to doze off with their heads rested on their desks. Only some students were still eagerly listening to the long speech with earnest expressions on their faces. Arthur on the other hand just leaned back casually on his chair with both of his hands u
After everyone submitted their final answers in their notebooks - a futuristic device that has two screens, and can open and close like a normal book - the maths teacher left the class and the next teacher walked in. The teacher who was a male about 5.7 feet tall, cleared his throat before beginning the class on English with a stern expression on his face. He would smile anytime he got to a question and frown when he sees a student looking for trouble. Time passed in a blink, and a bored Arthur waited silently class after class whilst giving Lilith besides him strange glances with question marks all over his face. When the electronic bell for lunchtime was ring, the current teacher wrapped things up before bowing to the class and leaving. She was their Chemistry teacher, a tall and slender blonde. As soon as the teacher left, the excited students jumped off their seats and ran out of the classroom in a hurry. Each of them had heard to bell for recess, and most of them didn't want
After school, Arthur got into his jet black limo with Lilith who sat quietly besides him in the back. After giving his order to the middle aged man sitting in the driver's seat at the front, he gave Lilith a glance and waited silently as his chauffeur began the slow drive back to his mansion. He didn't bring his bodyguards today, as he wanted them to rest for a while. He understood humans weren't machines, and that his guards needed to relax for a while. Besides, wouldn't their efficiency be reduced due to stress and fatigue? He already knew he couldn't die, thanks to someone who he'll teach a lesson when he's stronger, he knew that and didn't doubt it. Lilith who was still linked with him could also act as his protector— for now at least. "Sigh…" He picked up his phone and dialed a number swiftly with his head tilted forward before raising his phone to his ear, and closing his eyes. Listening to the ringing tune, an upbeat hip hop musical, blaring unrestrained from the phone's
Lilith felt as if a bowl of cold water had been poured on her head, dousing the nefarious flames of primal lust rising in her heart. Her shoulders loosened as she went weak completely… Jack who saw this giggled in his heart, but didn't say anything rash. After a few seconds, their pose went from intimate to awkward, and Jack couldn't help but clear his throat strategically. "Lilith, you still haven't told me what happened after you stabbed me… What are you hiding?" Jack asked as he coiled his arms around Lilith's slender waist and tightened his grip around her, afraid she would instantly pull away to avoid his question. After Jack's question, Lilith fell into deep silence and contemplation. The silence made Jack feel even more awkward that usual, and he couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. "That…" Lilith suddenly tried to struggle without using too much force to prevent herself from accidentally killing Jack, but found his grip was tightened around her body. She squirmed vi
Arthur bounced into his mansion with his guards and Lilith tailing him closely. He greeted some maids with smiles as he walked forward, then, up the stairs and finally arrived at the first floor. "How many floors does this mansion have?" Lilith asked out of curiosity as she obediently followed Arthur as she knew nothing about the house. She was too lazy to investigate. "About fifteen floors on the surface and five more floors underground. The mansion has over a hundred rooms, excluding those underground." Arthur spoke cooly was he walked up to the elevator on the second floor and stepped inside. Lilith and only a few guards followed. The others took the second elevator out of the four available. "Why didn't you just use the elevator downstairs?" Lilith asked in confusion, she face tilted slightly to the side. She simply couldn't understand Arthur's thought process. He acts unpredictably at times. "Because I wouldn't be able to see all those beautiful maids- ouch!" Arthur spoke
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
"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.
