Strange Place

Seeing the notification, Jacob sucked in a cold breath of air.

There was a Divine ranked Weapon in the Armory of the White Hunters Guild??.

Following the arrow pinpointed by the system, Jacob went to the back of the Armory where in an inconspicuous corner, there was a stump, on which a Sword stuck. Looking at the bright arrow pointing out the Sword, Jacob was confused; the Sword didn't look like anything special, infact, the Sword was rusty, with holes in some parts of it.

Walking closer to the Sword, Jacob used the Observe Skill of the system to obtain information about the Sword.

**Demonic Star[Damaged]

A sword forged by an Ancient Primordial God, it was said to have been used by the God to slay a Demon, in a battle that shook the Heavens.

After the earth shattering battle, the Sword, having bathed in demonic blood, got tainted, unfit to be used by a God of Absolute Good. The God sealed the demonic aura in the Sword and left it in a lower realm, where the Sword c

    Strange Girl Seeing the question marks on top of the girl's head, Jacob was stunned. He had played games on earth, and he knew that any NPC with question marks on their heads are always legendary characters.

Looking up, he wanted to drag the girl to a safe place when he suddenly saw a pair of glowing red eyes looking at him. "What did you just say??", the girl asked, her voice no longer cheerful, sounding demonic instead and insanity present in her eyes. Terrified, Jacob secretly set up a space wall in front of him as he answered the girl; "I said, I was looking at a Sword...""A Sword", the girl repeated, attempting to remember something. "Ahhh, a Sword, how long has it been??",

    Priscilla Walking towards Lucy, Jacob ignored the sneers the other Heaven's Chosens were directing towards him."Find anything you like??", Jacob asked Lucy"No, not really", Lucy answered absent-mindedly. Stiffening, Lucy looked up and saw that it was Jacob. "Oh, it's you, sorry; I didn't know it was you", Lucy apologised. Smiling, Jacob waved it off; "It's nothing, I was the one distracting you""Huh, that sword", Lucy said, furrowing her brows while pointing at Jacob's Sword. "What is it??", Jacob asked, confused by Lucy's reaction. "I don't know, it's weird, I feel like I've seen that sword before", Lucy said"Oh??, then it's not weird. Since it's a White Hunters Guild's weapon, you might have seen it in the Armory before", Jacob said, not finding it weird."But, this is the first time we are being allowed in the Armory", Lucy said again.Shrugging, Jacob still didn't find it weird; she might have seen it when it was being brought in.After thinking for so long and still not

    Setting Off At the transport centre, Jacob and Jason met up with the other Heaven's Chosens, preparing to head to Dustwind Village. "Alright, Weapon choosing time's up, time to head to the Village", an Awakened of the White Hunters Guild announced."These buses have been provided for your transport, Group A in the first one, and Group B in the second bus", the Awakened directed.Jacob and Jason headed towards the bus designated for their group, Lucy following behind them."Why are there two buses??, the space in a single bus is enough", Jason asked, confused"Maybe to facilitate easy communication between teammates", Lucy said, taking her sit behind Jacob and Jason. "Alright, strap in, we're moving", the Awakened in charge of their transportation instructed, as their bus jerked, heading towards the Village, the Group A bus leading.

    Hypocrites Jacob and Stephen were stunned, for in front of them was a haggard looking man, who was dragging a rusty looking axe across the floor. The man seemed to not have noticed the kicking open of the door, because he still kept moving in a circle, dragging the axe. Upon closer inspection, Jacob and Stephen noticed that there was a sign of dried blood on the axe. Looking closely at the man, his eyes seemed dead; as if he was no longer human, but a living dead instead. Jacob and Stephen were beginning to wonder whether the man was dead or alive, so Stephen asked Jacob to remove his Shadow, revealing their presence. Almost immediately, the man's head jerked up, looking at them with gray, dead eyes. Snarling, the man raised the axe as he rushed towards Jacob and Stephen. Jacob reacted quickly, as he quickly raised his hand, activating his Telekinesis. Beside Jacob, Stephen's eyes took on a green glow as he attempted to glimpse into the future. Gasping, he shouted, "Jacob, No!!". B

    Sword Girl Mocking the Heaven's Chosens, Lucas took out his dagger as he plunged it into the man's head, killing him. Taking out his dagger, Lucas summoned a Fireball as he burned the man's corpse.Walking back to his shelter, Jacob sighed as he replayed what Lucas said in his mind. Lucas was right, even though the man had already become a Living Dead, they all knew that the man was just someone who was unlucky enough to fall into the hands of whatever was controlling them. None of them wanted to get their hands bloody, although they had already condemned the man to death in their hearts.'We are all truly hypocrites', Jacob thought. ♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧Night Time.After the episode with the man, the girls in both groups went in search of a river, claiming that they needed a nice bathe.The guys in both groups bunched together, in front of a fire, as they chatted."Were you disappointed??", Jason asked Jacob as they both sat in a corner, watching the fire.Confused, Jacob frowned as he asked;

    Katerina Opening his eyes and seeing the girl, Jacob sighed, hoping that the girl would not enter into her demonic form again."Big Brother, I have something to give you", the girl announced, smiling."How have you been??", Jacob asked, he didn't think that the girl could offer him anything useful."Not as lonely as I used to be; I've regained some of my memories. I can use the Sword to see what's happening in the outside world; So I'm not as lonely as I used to", the girl said."So, you saw my fight with that man??", Jacob asked"That is the reason I called you here; your battle with that Undead was embarrassing, to say the least", the girl said bluntly."Undead??", Jacob said, deciding not to get angry at his battle being called embarrassing; after all, he still wanted to live. "Yes, an Undead. An Undead is a humanoid Demon summoned from the dead either by Necromancers or powerful Curse Magicians. They harbour hatred from their past life and see humans as preys.

    Sword Moves Seeing the palace emerging from the ground, Jacob sucked in a cold breath of air as he thought; 'There's a palace in this place??'. Jacob was beginning to seriously wonder about the mysteriousness of Demonic Star; It even had a palace in it."Welcome to the palace of the Sword Emperor", Katerina announced. "Who's the Sword Emperor??", Jacob asked as Katerina sighed as she answered; "I don't remember, my memories are still coming back bit by bit"'The Sword Emperor might be the Ancient Primordial God that made the Demonic Star', Jacob thought, as he used his system to scan the palace.**Sword Emperor Palace (Unoccupied) The palace where the Sword Emperor placed all his inheritances, in search of a successor It has been unoccupied for two million years, staying buried under ground Host has a high chance of being the successor of the Sword Emperor**________________________Seeing the notification, Jacob was surprised; the Sword Emperor had all his inheritances here??.

    Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin Seeing the notification from the system, Jacob was suprised; the system could be used this way??, it was too overpowered.'Learn the Skill', Jacob answered in his mind. Instantly, Jacob felt knowledge of the use of swords entering his mind, almost knocking him out. Shifting his gaze towards the puppet, Jacob found it standing a certain distance from him, holding the Sword in a particular stance. Realising that the puppet would not do anything unless attacked, Jacob sat on the floor, closing his eyes while digesting the information from the Sword Skill.'System, display information about the Sword Skill'**Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin A skill the Sword Emperor got from an enemy he slayed The skill is an accumulative type skill Seven Steps is all that's needed to slash a scar in the Universe The skill requires host to take a total of seven steps to unleash maximum damage The rate of damage depends on host's skill The skill can be used at any

    Jacob struggled to move as he watched the group of four walk into the room.Kayden, Lucas, Jason and Devon all walked in like controlled robots without a soul. "Hahaha!" The loud laughter of the undead leader rang in the space of the room.Jacob's eyes had rimmed red and the veins in his hands were already bulging due to his struggling intensely despite the intense pain he was currently experiencing. "Aren't they just beautiful? Human skin has always been too flashy for my taste anyway." The undead leader muttered as he scanned the group once more before he seemed to realize something a thoughtful look crinkling his already crinkled brows, "Wait a minute... wasn't there a girl among you bunch? Why is she not here?" He asked, however, the four remained staring ahead lifelessly, the undead facepalmed, "Ah, I almost forgot you can't speak anymore, you won't even have a will of your own anymore but will only do what I will you to do. Nevermind, the girl probably ran off and left you all

    "So it was you all along." Jacob suddenly said, his voice bouncing back from the white walls in the room. The very one they'd been looking for had been before them all along. The leader of the undead that Katerina had told him about was none other than this man. "For the one with the godly bloodline, you are smart, at the same time stupid." The undead man said as he began to pull some wires from the large equipments in the white room, he continued speaking as Jacob watched his actions, "Knowing your friends would die, you gave yourself instead, smart thought, but a stupid move..." The undead tilted his head smirking at Jacob, his grey skin crinkling up. "And you're stupid to think I'll just let your little friends escape just like that." Hearing that, panic was quick to surface in Jacob's eyes, "What did you do to my friends?" Jacob who had been sitting in the chair they bound him in without attempting to fight back began to struggle hearing the others might be in danger."I just s

    White hunter's guild; Inside the office of the vice president.The sharp sound of a communication device rang forth, the sound slightly muffled until Thomas Stone, the vice president of the guild picked out the communication device that was stuffed hidden within his drawer."Any updates on what the kids are up to?" He asked the person on the other end."Yes boss, they went into the dustwind village, but the kid with the godly bloodline has been caught, as for the others, they were able to escape.""It doesn't matter, that kid is the one we wanted all along anyway. Master is going to be so pleased with me as I was able to get him what he wants. Those two fools were too hasty, they had the kid right within their grasp but they allowed themselves lose him, this time I'll take the credit for succeeding in attaining master's biggest goal.

    The endless horde of undead creatures descended upon them like an unstoppable army, rushing out of the tall building towards the group."Damnit! How are they so many?!" Lucas exclaimed."There are too many of them, we can't possibly fight them all." Nikita said."Jacob, try to hold them back with your space ability!" Kayden instructed.Nodding, Jacob prepared his energy.'Space wall!' And immediately, the creatures that were already almost reaching where the group stood seemed to be stopped midair, however they didn't stop clawing and roaring at the invisible barrier in space.Gritting his teeth, Jacob could feel the whole weight of the creatures he was holding back, there were over hundreds of them."I can only hold them for so long, so I hope you all have a good plan." Jacob watched the man who had led them here as he stood amidst the raging horde of undead creatures with an evil smirk on his face."You cannot fight us, the godly bloodline shall be ours!!! We shall unleash chaos u

    Strangely, as they walked through the paths within dustwind village, they didn't once come across a single undead. It was as if there were no longer any undeads remaining."Do you think the people behind this moved the undeads elsewhere?" Jason asked Jacob as they were walking a little behind the group. "I can't say, but this all feels suspicious." Jacob muttered."Yeah, there seems to be something fishy, let's stay on high alert." "Che!" A scoff came from behind them, when Jacob turned to look, he saw Lucas walking behind him. "Got something to say?" Jason asked wondering why he'd suddenly scoffed when he'd been silent the whole time."Not to you." Lucas retorted before directing his gaze towards Jacob, "If you're having suspicions, why not take action and find out exactly what's amiss?" After saying that, he increased his pace walking past them both. Jason watched him leave with a weird expression, "Why do I feel like he'd literally kick you in the face if he could?" Jacob sig

    "Catch!" Jason playfully threw the communication device towards Jacob from a distance as they all stood at the borders of dustwind village, the first place an undead had been sighted.Jacob accurately caught the device in his hands. As Jason let out a small victory chuckle, he caught the glare Nikita had directed at him, his smile immediately falling. "If you take this as a game beast boy, be ready to become undead food." She spat at him sarcastically. Before moving forward, "Come on Devon," She called the guy who'd been standing beside her.The guy with a feminine demeanor gave Jason a gloating smirk before following behind Nikita closely. "Ugh, I wish I could punch his sissy face." Jason muttered. "Who's he anyway?" Jacob asked having seen Devon for the second time now, the first time being at the guild as he'd always be found hanging around Nikita and some other group of girls at the guild."Miss Nikita's personal assistant." Jason replied still glaring at Devon, "The sissy stic

    "Dude, you totally killed it when you destroyed that water dragon and defeated that water element guardian, everyone at the guild have been talking about it non stop!" Jason exclaimed for what seemed like the hundredth time.Two days had passed since Jacob had engaged in that fight, yet not a moment passed by that he didn't hear about it from everyone one else at the guild.Even at this moment, when he was just trying to have a quiet meal at the cafeteria, he could feel the number of gazes directed at him, if they had lasers in their eyes, he'd have been burnt to a crisp by now. He was about to reply to something Jason had said when his eyes fell on Lucy from across the hall, she sighted him too, however she soon looked away making her way towards the counters before she later joined her friends at their table.Jason who had seemingly been rambling followed his gaze to where Lucy was before asking, "Hey what's the deal between you and Lucy anyway, seems like she's been avoiding you."

    The dragon came at Jacob with a flashing speed with it's mouth wide open as if ready to devour him."Shit! If that water dragon swallows that kid, he'll drown without a way out!" Soon as that person had spoken, the water dragon's mouth closed on Jacob's body swallowing him whole, all of this happening within just a single second. Loud gasps echoed within the hall before the whole place fell dead silent.Erion was smirking triumphantly as he seemed to manipulate the water dragon to make sure Jacob drowned without an escape within the dragon's stomach. "What in hell's name is that?!" One of the onlookers yelled pointing at the water dragon which had now supposedly devoured Jacob. Within the gigantic water creature's body, a bright light was illuminated until a clear image was formed.Seemingly sitting in a cross legged position, Jacob still had his eyes closed as if concentrating and gaining an enlightenment. "What? How is that possible? How is that kid not drowning?" Erion stared

    The guardians began laughing among themselves seeing the state Jacob was in."So much for a double awakened, you're just a helpless little kid to our might after all." The commander of the guardians said in a ridiculing tone.Just at the moment the guardians were beginning to gloat about their might, a stifling pressure, that seemed to come from a very mighty figure descended upon them.Taken aback, their eyes widened as they felt themselves having trouble even breathing due to the suffocating pressure. "What...the..." Baron, the commander of the guardians managed to choke out as he stared at Jacob with surprise filled eyes. After a short amount of time, Jacob withdrew his might skill he had used on the guardians knowing it would drain too much of his mana if he kept it going, hoping that would be enough to let them know to leave him alone."That kind of power isn't something that should come out of a little kid like you!" Baron's eyes flashed with greed, "What great treasure are yo
