Vrmmmmm! The vehicle roared to life, its engine bellowing like a beast unleashed. Gray's cheeks flapped wildly, his gums fully exposed as Yegan's car surged forward with incredible speed. "Fuck!" Gray cursed inwardly, his fingers digging into the seat. In this post-apocalyptic era, seatbelts were a forgotten luxury, a relic of a safer past. Just having a car, especially one pieced together from rusted scrap, was a miracle in itself. If Gray had been born before the apocalypse, he would have marveled at these current steampunk-inspired vehicles that ran on water and sometimes coal. The engin
In another corner, a broken down vehicle was getting ambushed by flesh eating plants from all corners. The vines yanked the massive metal tires away, before reaching force to tears the rest of the vehicle apart. Bam! The 2 siblings in the vehicle broke through the vehicle’s roof, getting on it while fighting the many vines that came their way. “Brother!” The dainty girl with brown hair in a ponytail and short bangs, quickly called to her brother when feeling a sharp pain on her left leg. Oh no! One of the spiky vines was now wrapped several times around her leg, pulling her away without mercy. “Sister!!!” ~Slash! Slash! Slash! The brown curly haired boy sliced and diced with his long twin blades with a pale face when seeing his sister getting dragged into the ground below. They were supposed to go to the academy, grow strong together, so they can finally take their revenge on their despicable cousin who caused their parent’s deaths. Their journey towards revenge had just
After fighting, boxing, stabbing and punching, Gray finally saw the academy’s silhouette from a distance. “Really there?” Real or fake? The siblings, Fariel and Faron, who were behind Gray, were painting heavily, wondering how this guy could fight and keep running at the speed he did without even breaking a sweat. You have to know that they were panting so hard after running 5 hours at max speed while carrying their luggage. Fortunately, this guy didn't mind fighting off the many underground creatures and clearing the path for them. Who was he truly? Could this guy be a senior and not a first year like them? Giving each other tactful stares, suddenly, they didn't feel like geniuses anymore after being with Gray for this short time. Just this accident that happened earlier, allowed them to know how big the world truly was. Forget revenge. They must first grow strong enough to survive before thinking of ever making a move at their cousin who clearly had all the resources an
Venturing into the academy, everyone was not disappointed. There were towering castle-like stony buildings scattered around with magnificent giant statutes. Wow! Was that water flowing out from the mouths of several stone dragon heads? Gray had never seen anything like this before! The buildings were all so gigantic, and the space stretched out for as far as the eyes could see, enclosing many hills, paths and terrains. Some buildings stood on hills, others stood on cliff sides, and some stood on ground floor with massive ancient fountains shooting out at the center of their many courtyards.Many people's hearts hammered in their chests, feeling country bumpkins seeing city life for the first time. Everyone who has gotten accepted into the academy, was obviously an awakened human. So kicking their feet, they steadily ran forward to cover more ground. Walking normally will take them forever to get to their quarters. So how dare they dilly dally when nightfall had already come?
Looking at the hazy atmosphere covered in a thin, but very see-through layer of mist, Gray raised his head, peering to the skies through his old goggles. He soon sighed, grumbling to himself. "Today, I still can't see the sun in all its glory… Why do I always feel the stories before were exaggerated?" (?~?) Shrugging, Gray dragged his battered body up the many fleets of stairs to his apartment on the 17th floor. Elevators? What was that? Those were things he had never seen before in his life though he heard the Glory Awakener Guild did have one, only used by the President. They say it's a box that can go up and down on its own, eliminating the use of stairs. How cool is that? Hiss!~ Gray sucked in his breath from the pain. Seeing his bloody appearance didn't make the passerbys curious. Such a scene was a normal occurrence in this godforsaken hellhole. The world today wasn't the same as the world before the"Big Catastrophe", the one that pushed humanity into a new
Augh~Not wanting to focus on the punching bag matter, Gray forced himself to roll over so he could rest on his back. The floor was too hard on his already badly injured belly. "Just to be clear, I can add those points to any attribute? Even my Spirit Score?" (>oStrength: 3.4 > Agility: 6> Physique: 4 > Spirit Score: 1.5 -----This was what his current attributes looked like. What was this?Playing around a little, Gray was taken aback by the sudden discovery. He subtracted 3 points from the first 3 attributes and added them to his Spirit Score. But what he found out was that it only moved by 0.1. Meaning 9 points were necessary to move it from 1.4 to 1.5. Hold on, the
What is going on here? "I don't believe it!" Clandel, the one they called General, roared.Seeing this, many were happy."Tsk. Brother Clandel is pissed! This useless bastard is dead for sure!""Yeah. Brother Clandel is so angry now. The consequences will definitely be severe. Just wait and see.""Hmph! This useless dog doesn't even have the chance to defend itself now.""That's right. It can be seen that Brother Clandel was indeed not serious and careless before! But now, he will teach him the true meaning of courting death!""…"The few minions heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Clandel had only been doing a warm-up on the bastard before. But little did they know that their mighty Clandel was already at his wit's end with Gray.What's going on? Clandel was inwardly sweating buckets, wondering what was wrong with this bastard all of a sudden.Never in his life has he felt so angry and helpless all at once. Rather than screaming and begging for mercy, Gray looked as though he
In the limo seated beside Adler, the black-haired man in suit and stylish petticoat had his legs crossed and his hands also crossed against his chest too. His eyes were always lazy, as though he couldn't be bothered with the happenings of the world around him. "I will be reporting it to the master."Go ahead then, Guard dog. Adler inwardly retorted, not caring for what Spade said.It's not that he wasn't afraid of Spade, but that he knew Spade would never lay a finger on him. Spade was with the Gannon family's Guard Dog. He oversaw all Gannon security, as well as top Gannon projects too. When he moved people followed. When he spoke, no one dared to breathe; and when he finally laid claim to something, you better back off or you won't know how you died.Spade was raised by his father, and also was too loyal to a fault. Spade would give his life for his father and their bond was only made stronger when Spade the killing machine eliminated many of his father's enemies single-handed
