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
Arthur, sneered in his heart after thinking for a while, his expression nonchalant and gaze cold. He grinned madly after a while and tightened his grip around the "gear stick" - switching gear to "4" as he spun the wheel, forcing his car to turn it back to the track and it's front to the incoming vehicles. With a wild grin on his face, Arthur stepped on reverse, making his car dash back at terrifying speeds as he aimed at @Once A Shadow and @Shining Mist with the missile launcher attached to his vehicle. "What the…" The duo were stunned at Arthur's action, their brows furrowed upon their sighting of him driving off in such a strange way. Unlike them, Robert was calm and undisturbed - his expression tranquil. Without even giving the dou time to react, Robert put his car on reverse, driving backwards at an average speed. He had already gotten an idea of Arthur's plan, and knew exactly what to do in this situation. By the time @Shining Star and @Once A Shadow slowly rose from their
@Once A Shadow was stunned, he had lost count of how many stunning stunts @Arthur Walker had pulled today. Now, he was speechless seeing what had taken place before him - his whole body gone stiff. All he could see before him was no longer the track of dirt and debris, but a trail of ice and snow as far as he could see. Now he understood, why exactly he had lost control of his vehicle's steering. @Once A Shadow frowned at this situation, his brows knitted as his gaze sharpened. A very simple way for him to break out of this situation was to simply raise the friction of his tires with the ice. He could do that by either increasing speed to a very terrifying rate, mimicking the Blazing Wheels skill - although it was a good plan as the overheating of his tires and the speed of his drive could tear through the ice, he also needed to put into consideration the idea of him ruining his wheels during the drive. If the tires get ruined, then all his past effort would be wasted completely
Arthur frowned as he continued his drive, his gaze was locked on the vehicle ahead and his body was a little bit too tense. He stepped on accelerate, spinning his wheel to side as he drove into a lane of loose sand. Slowly increasing his speed, he began to close up on to his target. His gaze sharpened upon noticing the design of his opponent's vehicle. The vehicle, which was driven by an unknown player @Burning Glaciers, was the definition of “Beast”. It's height, towering over 2 metres due to it's monstrous build, was armoured with layers upon layers of sturdy looking metal ridden with short, but sharp spikes. It's spiked tires, which were as tall as a full grown man, was practically tearing through the dirt with little to practically zero effort. It's terrifying build made the car run at extremely slow speeds. Arthur frowned deeply, he didn't even try to overtake or even think about overtaking without a good plan. He wasn't a genius, but he wasn't stupid either, and even a fool
"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.
