SPLASH! Ciligan woke up. His eyes scanned his area quickly, and all he could see was darkness. "A-ARRRGGGHHHH!!" A voice came. That sounded like Charlie's. He looked around, but he couldn't find the kid. "No! P-please stop! I'll speak! I'll speak!" POP! Ciligan's heart sunk. Why would Charlie dare to sell out the boss? He tried to move, but his hands were bound and he couldn't feel his legs. Why couldn't he feel his legs? He looked down, but it was so dark he couldn't see anything. "Who is there?" He dared to ask. 'You are awake?' A voice came in his head. "Who-?" 'You don't ask the questions here. I do.' He felt something pierce his stomach. It was rough and hard, like a blunt blade. Still, this level of pain he had trained himself to endure. Red eyes that glowed appeared before him. 'Who are you?' The person asked. "Tch. Go and ask Ozvl- Arrgh!" Something entered his solar plexus area. It was like a lightning bolt that traveled through his entire body, mind and sou
The Bee Hive was unusually active today. The bees, insects, fire flies, centipedes and spiders had been moving about, preparing several resources. Obviously, deep in the Bee Hive, existed the Bee Queen. This place was original owned by the Bees, but the former Spider king saw it a fit place to make her nest. That was before her child, the spider known as Yokino, overthrew her.Yokino could not accomplish this feat on her own. Even as a King, Yokino was never as powerful as her mother. To make up for this, she gathered allies. Pawns, as she would call them. Ten different bug-like monsters, with whom she overtook their heads, created a powerful army just to overtake her mother. This caused a very annoying ruckus in the forest a month ago and after that, no one dared to go bother the Bee Hive.One of those ten subordinates had made an appearance, after having to take an exhausting trip from the south, where the Giant White Ants roamed. This creature was the current Ant King, and servant
"Tch. Shoot their heads off."Seiko ordered in a restless breath. He tried pushing off the mummies that were piling on top of his body, but they just kept on jumping him, slowly crushing his body. Their rusty claws kept on digging into his skin and he was bleeding. Poison was slowly entering his open body and is lungs were being squeezed.Jasmine was standing some distance away and she was fiddling with the hand gun Seiko had thrown at her."H-How do I shoot with this?""Pull the trigger, damn it!"His tone was abnormally angered. Jasmine just kept looking at the gun. It was a tiny beautiful weapon, light yet carrying a powerful punch. Its barrel was a dull cobalt blue and the handle was a reddish-brown. Jasmine rose it up and pointed it at Seiko after remembering how the young man shot his targets."Like this?""Yes! But don't point that at me!"BANG!It was too late. She had already pressed the trigger. She kept on shooting wild fires, randomly destroying the mummies, all the while
Keimen City, Red Light DistrictInside a lavish bar filled with jolly drunkards and women in obscene outfits moving about, serving drinks, sat a man in black with a mask on his face. Grimm Black was his name and everyone had come to fear it. Rumours had it that he wasn't human. Some say he was a beast person, others said a markari. People went so far as saying he was a vampire from the Realm of Eternal Night. If not, at least one of the many terrifying races from there.Most steered clear of his path. This could be attributed to his reputation as a fine mercenary. One of the best around. Never missed a target. There were even some claiming that they had seen him beat B rank adventurers easily like they were a joke. Some said he could take down the famous Kings of Larm easily if he wanted to. Cold, calculating and quiet. The ultimate assassin.So when such a person sat next to a beauty, drinking a cup of alcohol and heartily laughing his heart out, it raised suspicion for all those aro
I removed the attackers from my inventory and dropped them onto the floor and removed their cloaks. Could you believe that the cloaks had the option for [Undetectable Stealth]? That was better than mine by far, although they were light and provided practically no defense whatsoever. Still, I was sure I could find a way to fuse them with my cloak to get something good. They were two humans, two cat girls and one elf. All unconscious and I stripped them of their gear. All of them but the small human possessed nothing interesting. Simple mediocre gear. The blonde human though was carrying a sword called Crooked Dainsleif. I wondered if it had any relation to the one I was thinking about, and its stats were absurd. [Item Name: Crooked Dainsleif [Type: Soul [Unawaken] (Non-Consumable) [Item grade: Low Epic [Item Description: A poor imitation of the original that was once wielded by the Legendary Hero ****. This weapon is crooked and clearly can't possibly be the actual Legendary Weapon
So somehow, I managed to let my chuunibyou urges takeover. Ok, to be honest, I only let them live because I was scared they might have possessed a sort of connection to an actual hero. If a hero got angry at me, I'd be in for a ride which I wasn't interested in at the moment. I wanted to just let them go away, but the Marcus guy was following me and I couldn't just teleport into a random spot in the city while Yokino was missing. If someone related to these guys had done something to Yokino (Like captured her), I could use these guys as hostages or bargaining chips as well. We were currently walking down the streets. "Have you eaten ice cream, before?" Marcus asked me. 'Hmmm? Ice cream?' "Yep. It is sweet ice that you can eat during hot seasons like this one." Ice cream existed in this world? That sounded like fun, but now wasn't the time. I refused the offer and kept on walking about the streets quietly. I was headed towards the point on my map where Kawaii was. She had moved f
"What are you looking at, Tori?"Marcus asked then his eyes scanned the room. Luckily since I was wearing a mask, he shouldn't have been able to identify where I was looking. That is what I thought till he pulled out the Uno reverse card on me and pointed in the direction Nukeme's eyes were still fixed.'Nothing. Go back to your damned ice cream.'"But I'm done with it! Besides, you seemed to be staring-"'Shut up.'Maybe it was time I ditched this group. I grabbed Nukeme by the neck and was about to run out the door, with my speed they wouldn't be able to catch-up, but then the duo appeared before me. A man who seemed to be in his mid-thirties with dark brown hair and a pencil mustache, wearing a white tunic with black edges and a black sash tied around his waist with a white pants and brown sandals. He was quite skinny and his complexion, a bit pale. The woman to his side wore the same thing, except with a hat on her head, but unlike her counterpart, she possessed black hair and she
[You have 3 Daily Quests! Clear them to receive rewards!] [Your Side Quest, is still ongoing! Clear it to receive rewards!] After the recent events, I had even forgotten about the existence of the daily quests. Even more shocking was that I had a side quest which I was apparently still performing. I curiously looked at that first. [Side Quest (Optional): Save the dhampyrs] [Status: Ongoing [Type: Time Limit [5 days remaining] [Description: The little dhampyrs Ulva has been kidnapped. Who knows what manner of deeds are being performed on her! Save her as quickly as possible! [Possible Rewards: 1 vampiric servant 5000 gold coins 2000 experience points 50 stat points I was a bit curious now. The design for this was similar to the first one I saw, but now it had new features attached to it. Giving me the status and type of quest it was. The possible rewards too were quite good. But I didn't like the fact that it termed Ulva as a
