New ArrivalOutside the Isolated Space....."Miss, we've searched the entire Dustwind Village....no sign of the kids", an Awakened reported back to Nikita.Shaking her head dejectedly, Nikita sighed; it's been over an hour since they got here, and their search for the kids was futile. The only evidence that showed that the Heaven's Chosens passed through here was the carcass of some Rank C Monsters. "Miss, I don't know if this is related to the disappearance of the kids, but I think you have to know this. We found some strange looking Monsters during our search....humanoid looking Monsters", the Awakened continued, as Nikita raised a brow."Bring them here boys", the Awakened commanded, as some men brought the strange looking Monsters and dropped it in front of Nikita.Seeing the strange Monsters, Nikita frowned; they looked disproportionate and were rotting, all in all, they were disgusting to look at."Where were they found??""Just outside the Shelter, Miss. My guess is that, the
Who?!Pain.All he could feel was pain; the blankness of his mind making it worse. Opening his heavy eyes, he tried to lift his arms but he failed, devoid of strength. "Oh, look who finally decided to come back from the dead", a voice full of sarcasm mocked him.Hearing the voice, Jacob's mind exploded, as the memories came flooding back.Tilting his head towards the direction of the voice, he saw Lucas by his right side, looking at him with a weird smile."For a moment there, I thought you were dead", Lucas continued, ignoring the dumb look on Jacob's face.Looking down at Lucas's hands, Jacob found out that Lucas was tied down to a chair, the same as Lucy was.Looking around, he saw Lucy by his left, her expression that of relief."I'm glad you are ok", Lucy said with a smile, her voice weak as it was obvious she was tired.Nodding to show his appreciation at her concern, Jacob looked in front of him, where he finally saw Stephen and his...dad, holding weird-looking test tubes with
The Goofy Looking Ancient God The headache was intense; passing out twice in a row was not a fun experience. Opening his eyes, he immediately regretted the decision; as he immediately raised his hands to block out the brightness. "What the hell??, who invited the goddamn sun here??", he muttered dumbly. Finally feeling his eyes acclamatizing to the brightness, he peeled off his hands as he peeked around.He soon saw the reason for the unreasonable brightness; he was in a white room, walls painted white, roof painted white, even the floor was white. There seemed to be a reflection of light bouncing across the room. He noticed he was sitting in a chair, also white, and in front of him was a table and another chair across him.'Is this the place where your records would be checked to determine whether you would be going to Heaven or Hell??', Jacob thought. "Hi!!!, how do you do??", a cheerful voice snapped him out of his reverie as he flinched; there was someone sitting in the chair
Closure(1)Looking at the smug smile on the so-called God's face, Jacob's lips twitched; the goofy old man looked more like a stalker than an Ancient God. "How did you know all that??", Jacob asked, as the old man only chuckled harder, caressing his beard."Nothing is hidden in the eyes of this God", the man proclaimed, hitting his chest in pride. "But, there is something strange about you though, there is another entity inside you. I couldn't see through it, which is very strange....I could only block it's observation", Nogret said, squinting his eyes as he stared hard at Jacob.'That must be the system!!. Nogret's tampering with it's observation must have been why I couldn't get a response from it', Jacob thought. "I would advice you to be careful though; although that entity seems to make you grow stronger quickly, it also seems to be drawing on your bloodline. After all, a known Demon is better than an unknown Angel", Nogret advised, to which Jacob nodded, even if he didn't und
Closure(2)After a spell of drifting through the void, Jacob finally felt his feet touch solid ground. 'Long distance teleportation sucks', he grumbled, as the long awaited wave of dizziness washed over him. Opening his eyes, the first thing he felt different was the gravity, as he felt as light as a feather. Looking around, he tried to familiarise himself with his surroundings as he looked for any landmark to find out his current location. He soon found it though, as right in front of him was a skyscraper, and at it's forefront was a large billboard which said; "Lith's Automated Tech". The building was all too familiar to Jacob as he was surprised Nogret would actually bring him here....Lith's Automated Tech was the company his Dad worked for. Wondering whether Nogret sent him to this particular place on purpose, he got a move on, as he left the alley he was in and chose a destination; the cemetery. Hardly had he taken a step did he receive a notification; =============== **Di
Closure(3)Exiting the Cemetery, he enlarged the newly generated map in front of him, as he headed towards the one marked closest to him.°°°°°°Following the map, he arrived at a corner in the city, a very busy one. Since it was dark, people had started going through their unlawful businesses, as Jacob passed by a dark alley where he could hear people exchanging blows. He was not one to interfere though, it was none of his business. The map led him to the red light district of the city, as he passed by many brothels. The map began blinking erratically when he approached a particular building, and he knew he had hit jackpot.It was a casino though, as he saw two hefty men at the entrance, requesting for something before they allowed entrance.Wondering whether he should use his Shadow skills or just barge through, he looked on as a man was tossed out of the casino, as a burly middle aged man emerged by the door, presumably, he was the one that tossed the other man."Manager", the two
Closure(4)Seeing Jacob still sitting, unharmed, the men in the room started freaking out....What sort of a Monster had their boss offended this time??"What are you standing there for, you morons??, shoot again!!!", Ray yelled again as fear gripped him; who was this kid?!The men gave their boss a weird look; he kept shouting "shoot", if it was so easy, why didn't he give it a try??...Or couldn't he see the kid still sitting confidently after being shot at??."(Sigh), I told you not to shoot", Jacob said, as he clenched his fist, sending the bullet flying.With a searing sound, the bullet pierced into the flesh of the three men that shot, one by one, blood spraying from the wounds.Groaning in agony, the three men fell heavily, lifeless. Seeing this scene, the other two men that hesitated slowly backed out of the room, decisively ignoring Ray's plea for help; never did they know that hesitation could save their lives!!.Although Jacob didn't want to shed innocent blood, there was not
Natalia(1)The map led Jacob to a rather luxurious part of the city, to a hotel to be precise. Jacob only had to wait around for a while before he got what he was looking for; an opportunity to enter the hotel. Slinking into the shadow of an hotel guest, he managed to enter the hotel without being seen. He could have used the {Shadow Conceal} skill, but it required shadows to work properly, and the hotel was even brighter than how it usually was during the day!!. So he had to wait for someone to enter, as a person always carried their shadow with them.Entering the hotel, he kept hopping into people's shadow, both hotel employees and guest, till he reached his destination; Room 199. Exiting the shadow of the hotel cleaner, he slid inside the room through the gap under the door, which thankfully was dark, the only source of light in the room being a single red light bulb.The darkness could not inhibit Jacob's vision though, as his Shadow Element granted him night vision, although he c
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. Make sure the kid is guarded well, he can't escape.""Yes boss." The other person replied before cutting off the communication device. "Soon brother, ve
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
