In a cube-like space, two figures could be seen standing some distance away from each other, none of the parties made a move and only stared at each other, if one was to look closely, they would realize that I was one of the figures and the figure standing opposite me was Crixes. Crixes’s face was expressionless while my face was filled with seriousness, my mind worked at an insane speed as sweat trickled down my neck, my eyes scanning over the whole body of Crixes trying to find a flaw, after a minute of standing still, I finally completed my plan. “Huff” I breathed out and leaped to the side of Crixes but just as I took one step, I suddenly exploded into specks of light that coagulated into my figure that lay sprawled on the ground in exhaustion. “Ding” [Does the host wish to attempt the sequence once again] “Nope, I think that's enough for today” I replied in a fatigued voice trying to recount how many times I had attempted to fight Crixes but since the beginning of my attempts
“98, 99, 100” I completed the last of my push-ups and sat up with my back against a wall, I stared at the now rising sun with a smile, I enjoyed the feeling of the warm heat against my face, this was one of the few times I could get peace of mind and so I had to enjoy it while it lasted.“Ding”[105th challenger detected 200km north][Locate and kill the 105th ranked challenger ‘Two-headed Orc General, Hakat’][Mission Reward: Information on the ‘Wings of the Strakis’, one devil mark crystal, two ice bullet magazines for any handgun, and five D+ rank arrows]“Another one, huh…Wings Of The Strakis” At first I thought that it was just a normal Challenger but after spotting the first reward, the ‘Wings of the Strakis’, I knew that it was more than that, the reason why I was so focused on the wings was that it was similar to the ‘Eye of Chaos’ which I had kept hidden from all, the wings of the Strakis was also a mythical treasure that granted the user the unique power of flight, it was so
BANGA bright white flashed as the club smashed onto the ground, creating a mini crater, hearing the sound, the other orcs rushed over to see what was causing the commotion.“What is the problem?” One of the orcs asked after spotting the crater.“I don’t know, I thought I saw an enemy” The orc which had spotted me replied while scratching its head awkwardly, it wondered if it had made a mistake.“Forget it, it was probably nothing, hahahaha, let’s go get ready for tonight” The orc shrugged it off with a hearty laugh.The others joined it in its laugh as they all walked off with excited gazes, meanwhile somewhere in the trees, I sat perched with my back propped against the tree, eyes stationed on the receding orcs as I thought back to how I had quickly activated a teleportation card to escape my death.“Tonight huh, something is going to happen, I better begin my plans” I smiled after hearing their words. Plans were already being developed underway and I was already preparing a vicious
“Yawn” I yawned sleepily as I opened my eyes to the warm heat of the sun on my face. ‘there was no sound of orcs chatting loudly, no shouting, no feeling of the binds on my hands and feet or my mouth either, which was weird for me, but wasn’t I about to be’ Arriving at this thought, I shot up like a spring in alarm, I could remember vividly what had happened, I was about to be raped by that ugly Orc when that scream sounded, which distracted the Orc but the next thing I knew, I was unconscious.I frowned deeply while glancing around to know where I was, I could see trees all around. This meant that I was still in the forest, I looked around to see what else was around and I froze in fear when I spotted a figure crouched over something, seemingly engrossed in what he was doing, the figure didn’t realize when I picked up a medium-sized stick from the ground and crept toward him.“CRACK” I accidentally stepped on a twig when I was right behind the figure, the noise attracted the figure’
"RAWRRR" A lone zombie staggered through the town square where cars were crashed into each other."Let's go" I said to Tiffany who nodded as we moved from behind the car.We were headed for Mossville to try to find the military base, I didn't know exactly where it was, but after remembering something on the paper that I had found on the dead soldier, I had an idea on where to start."SCREECH" A loud screech sounded from the street ahead which made us hide behind a collapsed building.Within seconds we saw a bat monster jump out of the alley, followed by a huge monkey who had a large orb atop it's head, the bat tried to fly away but the monkey leaped onto it and grabbed it's head before slamming it into ground, turning it into mush, my eyes widened in shock after seeing this.The monkey after finishing off the bat, then dug out it's crystal, and swallowed it with a satisfied expression, but out of the blue as if sensing our presence, the monkey suddenly glanced toward our direction whi
“Freeze, put your hands up” The soldiers filed into the room before aiming their guns at us.“Ha I was right” I grinned while calmly staring at the soldiers, Tiffany squealed in fear as she hid behind me.“I said put your hands up or we will open fire” One of the soldiers yelled after sensing no reaction from me after having almost 20 guns aimed at me.“You guys really don’t want to do that, it won’t really end well for you” I replied with a shake of my head, I was clearly unfazed by the apparent danger.This behavior confused the soldiers as to whether I was either stupid, bluffing or I really did have a way to survive this onslaught.“Sir, what do we do?” One of the soldiers inquired from the central figure who seemed to be their leader.“Yeah, what’s it going to be, will you take me to your base or you’ll all die here” I added fuel to the fire, my words inciting an already predicted reaction from the soldiers.The leader snorted in annoyance, his pride didn’t allow him to care whet
“Activate the siren cries” Cross said to the scientist who nodded and pressed on a button on his tablet, following which the giant wolf squealed in pain and fell to the ground, writhing and struggling.“I think that’s enough” I said to Cross who grinned in response.“Hmmp, those monsters deserve to be punished” Cross replied while enjoying the view of the poor beast in pain.“That’s enough” I frowned with displeasure, even though I also didn’t have that much remorse for them, I still didn’t enjoy the view of them being tortured and that feeling was further enhanced by the similarity between this wolf and Brad.“What?” Cross turned to me in confusion, he didn’t understand why I felt so much pity for this bloodthirsty monster.“That’s enough Del” Cross turned to the scientist who turned off whatever caused the beast to be in so much pain.“I’m sorry for my actions but I didn’t really enjoy seeing the poor beast in pain” I smiled at Cross who frowned slightly before bursting into laughte
“You’re here” Cross muttered.“Why wouldn’t I be here?” I asked in fake confusion.“I mean there you are, I was just dropping by to ask if you’ve seen my watch, it got missing as soon as we separated so I was wondering if you saw it anywhere?” Cross asked indirectly implying something.“Oh I don…” Before I could end my words, a knock sounded followed by a soldier’s entry into the room where he politely greeted us before saluting Cross, then proceeded to whisper something in his ears, he ended then handed something over to Cross who paused in shock at the watch being handed to him.“Okay thank you” Cross said to the soldier with a nod before turning to us, “Okay seems like I might have misplaced it, sorry for the disturbance, you must be tired, I’ll leave you guys to rest now, see you tomorrow, good night”After apologizing and bidding us goodnight, Cross then left leaving Tiffany and I alone.“Where did you go?” She asked with a frown.“I was in the restroom” I replied while inconspic
