Overknight Hero Chapter 46: Dramaturgy (2)
Ria walked along the basement corridor as she touched the walls. “I can feel energy coursing through the walls.” She said.“Energy? What do you mean?”“I can sense Forte Energy coursing through something inside this wall over here.”Xaviel got interested as he moved to the wall Ria mentioned.“Stand Back Please”Xaviel thrust his dagger imbued with Phantom Armament into the wall. As it explodes, a system of roots is exposed.(This looks familiar. Is it perhaps one of the roots of the nexus tree?)“Ria, is this the energy source you were talking about?”Hearing me, Ria nudged closer as she touched the root. The root then illuminates as if it noticed Ria’s grasp.“Indeed. This is what I have been sensing.”(If I touch the root now, maybe I can go home. ) Xaviel reached out his hand....(No.I can’t go back now.Not until I finish what I have started.He retracted his hand from touching the root.)“What are you?”“Oh, it’s nothing, Ria.”(I will not go back until I atone for my action

“The one who did these experiments… was me?”Grumble~The basement floor shakes.“What was that just now?” Xaviel looked around, trying to make sure they were in a safe spot, as Ria lost her balance and fell to the ground. “I….I remembered…” She said.Xaviel turned his eyes towards Ria, who was filled with tears.“This was all my doing… I experimented on the corpses of the prisoners…” She dropped down. “My… sisters, where are they…? No, No, No… I have no one left. My sisters are no longer here with me…”She looked up at Xaviel with furious eyes and shouted, “You… you killed them all!!!”Xaviel drops down as he puts his arm on Ria’s shoulders. “I am sorry, Ria, it was my fault… I…”SLAP!Ria slapped Xaviel’s face as she went on to punch him to the ground. She straddles Xaviel’s body and screams hysterically, “I am going to kill you! You bastard!!” Ria punched Xaviel repeatedly, but he didn’t dodge any of her hits. Her movement then slowed down as she started crying hysterically.(Her
Overknight Hero Chapter 48: Dramaturgy (4)
Xaviel woke up in his original world. Yet something was different. He was not inside his own body. Instead, he was currently seeing his own body lifeless on life support. “What the hell?” Xaviel said. Though it would seem no one can hear his words. “Is this for real?” That was the only question on his mind. He can hear everything in the hospital room. See everything inside the hospital room. Yet, in contrast, he cannot interact with people inside the room. His attempt to touch the people around him would only result in him phasing through them. “No. What am I supposed to do then?” Xaviel asked himself. He can see his mother, Judith Lorenius, crying beside the bed his body was located in. To his surprise, however, the one beside him was not someone he had expected to be there. Instead of Gregory(his stepfather), the man beside Judith, who was currently comforting her was none other than his biological father, Robert E. Mobius. “He’s a strong child. He will survive, don’t worry
Overknight Hero Chapter 49: Revenger’s Tragedy
.TSUSTUSCHUT!.Xaviel woke up with Ria on his side. She was letting out tears, speaking inaudible words. After a while, Xaviel began to hear what she had said.“Xaviel… wake up… wake up…”Xaviel moved his eyes. As Ria noticed it, she rubbed her tears away and said, “Are you okay?”Clearly not understanding the situation at all, Xaviel stayed silent to her words. Ria then continued with a question. “For a few minutes, you were lying on the ground, and I can’t detect any living presence inside you… It was like you died.”Xaviel didn’t understand why Ria would react like that. Isn’t she the one who also wanted to take revenge on him? to kill him? Why is she acting like this?“I thought killing you was the perfect catalyst for my satisfaction. And yet, I only felt sadness seeing you lying down lifeless like that.”Xaviel stared at Ria, who was now letting out her tears again.“I am not sure what to do. I am so lost. I have no one.”Ria kept going on as she was frustrated with her feelin
Overknight Hero Chapter 50: Revenger’s Tragedy 2
BOOM!Xaviel crashed on one of the pillars inside the throne room. Victor, the figure wearing black and red armor, stands tall with his spear on his left and clenched fist on his right.“If you don’t get serious and show me ‘that’ anytime soon, you won’t get any other chance to defeat Victor.”Xaviel pants as he stood up. His body was covered in rubbles and cuts from the battle with Victor. He gritted his teeth as he unleashed his power. White light encumbered Xaviel’s right hand. A glow was exerted from it as a short flash of light emerged toward Victor and Victoria Mylen.“Is this what you call a Transcendence?”Xaviel had once again unlocked his ability to use phantom armament with extreme precision to the point of manipulating atomic particles. He began to levitate as he raised his right arm at Victor. “This will be the end of you.”Light gathered around Xaviel as he charged for an upcoming attack. Undoubtedly, this attack will be the [Phantom Sphere] that has proved to be effecti

Revenger’s Tragedy 3( Acting. It is something people always does. Most do it out of fun. )(Out of hobby.)(Yet some do it out of necessity.)(To do what you may ask?)(To fit in.)Xaviel charged in as he moved his dagger obliterating the marrionetes of Victoria Mylen from left to right. Making his way to reach her.“Pink Flash”ZWOONGA sound ringed in Xaviel’s ears as a figure appeared in front of him aiming to impale him with its lance.The speed of the lance thrusting him was too great Xaviel’s left arm was impaled.CRUAK!In the split second after the impalement, he struck the tip of the lance with his dagger disfiguring the weapon.“So you pay heed to my words only to wait for Victor to recover? I can’t say I expect that.”“Wasn’t that the oldest trick in the book?”“Heh. Of course I was bluffing.”“What?”SRSTSTST!!!Sparks appeared around Victoria’s body.“Guh..I can’t believe you are still alive after that…”“Hahaha.” Xaviel smiled as he looked at the person behind Victoria.

(Victoria and I..We are not so different.We are that kind of people that liked to act.Hide beneath our masks.The difference was only the roles.I choose the role of a hero.She had accepted her role as the villain.)Another one of Xaviel’s exploding pebbles destroyed Victoria Mylen’s puppets army. Meanwhile in that period before the throw, Victor squared and fought with Xaviel in hand to hand combat. One in which Xaviel is better at.A few days ago, Xaviel was not the best fighter. Yet the fight with Maru, Krey, Zedafaust, and Victor Magnifica had thoroughly made him study and became a better hand to hand fighter.His instinct, awareness, and endurance had developed drastically. Or was it something else that had made him this powerful?Victor landed hits on Xaviel in which he made the air around him dense. Reducing the speed of the impact from Victor’s punches. So at the moment of impact Xaviel can perform a disarming strike to avoid that offensive move.As a counter he used his d

The smile that made him remember their first fight together. That day Hoff Crestia was giving the same smile as he is now towards Xaviel.“I want to see your conviction.”Words he had spoken rings inside Xaviel’s head. Those same words gave him his courage back.Hoff summoned the bubbles again as it targeted Xaviel. In retaliation he ran through the room evading it.(You are clearly planning something.Yet, I can’t understand it.Was it perhaps?Acting to buy time for me to give Victoria these memory core?)With a huge force, Xaviel lunged forward as he and Hoff started to fight hand to hand. Xaviel and Hoff moved throughout the room dodging each other’s fists. Rarely did the both of them crashed their fist onto one another.BUK! BUK! BUK!Three hits landed on Hoff’s face. It was a left hook right hook and uppercut combo made by Xaviel.Countering the attack, Hoff grabbed Xaviel’s wrist as he launch his knee onto his stomach. Now grabbing back his head, Xaviel was threwn off balance w

Chapter 64: Thomas Hebsly of The Razor Peaks
The Fisherman and I follow Jack Nelson as the party ends instead of using a horse carriage or chariot like the other guests. They used a rather peculiar cart that used petrol and ran on wheels. I am familiar with that kind of cart. It's called a 'car' rather than a cart. People in Estovania used it quite a lot, yet they didn't first develop it. Most state-of-the-art stuff originated in Willhelmia or the 'Prince' region."That cart is very fast; how are we supposed to follow it?" I said."WOA-!" Fish shouted a little before I instinctively shut his mouth with my hands. "Shut the hell up, dumbass. We'll get caught!" I whispered as I slightly tightened my grip on his mouth. He reacted by nodding up and down. Only then did I release his mouth from my grasp."But why are you here, Vice-Boss Duke Hebsly?" He blatantly said."Don't say my name so casually. Dammit! And What else do you think I am here for? I am here to help you spy on Jack Nelson!" I replied."But the boss didn't say a thing a

Chapter 63: Idealist versus Realist
“Excuse me sirs and madam. I am here to serve wine.” A male servant went inside the table where the conspirators of Seraphinania is sitting. He placed the glass one by one, as another servant poured it down.“A perfect time for a drink isn’t it?” Oswald Leysom said enticing everyone to touch their respective glasses.“There might be some rough sides to this plan of ours. Yet, with all the people here, I am pretty sure we can pull it through quite nicely.” Ms. Eye said with confidence before glancing at Mr. Jones. “By the by, is Jones here the one who used to sell opium to the Molosno family?”Mr. Jones looks around as the attention turns towards him. “Yes. As a matter of fact, I am. Yet ever since one year ago, the distributor position for my opium is vacant.”“I see.” Ms. Eye drinks her wine before speaking again, “Then you indeed are Thomas Hebsly.”“Wonderful guess, Madam. How could you ever guess who he was?” Oswald said, making everyone else except Mr. Jones giggle. “I see. Then

Chapter 62: Idealism Born of Chauvinism
I walked with The Fisherman, Duke, and Gilman, who were now dressed as servants. They do look the part, but maybe Fisherman’s scar on his face gave it away that he wasn’t a servant.“Hey, you put this on,” I said giving him a bandage and instructing him to put it on his left cheek.“Will do, Boss-man!” Fisherman said.“Hey, it's hard to say 'Fisherman' all the time! Don’t you have a name we can call you by?” Gilman said.“Hmm, sure I have,” Fisherman smiled. He opened his mouth and said, “People usually call me Fish.”Duke flattened his eye annoyed by Fish’s and Gilman’s banter.“You know what, whatever. Fish is good enough.” Gilman said. “Oh yeah, everyone can call me Gil.”“Guys, I don’t want to break your spirits here. But you shouldn’t use your real name. We’re here to spy on people- You know what? I shouldn’t even be explaining all this to you two! Boss what the hell is wrong with these two!” Duke suddenly got heated up due to the stupidity of the other two people in our group.I

Chapter 60: Tea Party of Diana Mitchford
A few days after the situation at the safe house, rumors of Sophaya, The Screaming Cinderella’s kidnap, began to surface. No doubt, this led to many people assuming Razor Peaks was the conspirator. Even though no one has asked us directly yet, I hear words regarding the situation, particularly through the words of the woman who wore the uniform.“Thanks for the drink,” I said while sitting in the chair inside the inn I stayed at.“Thank you for the drink, Missy!” Gilman said towards the woman in uniform.Yet, she can’t help but make a scrawny face. Unfortunately for Gilman, she remembered his face, which was the man who extorted her inn for money for quite some time. I drank my morning coffee, which alleviated my drowsiness. “Boss, it’s been quite a few days. Should we start the relocation again?”As per my planning, it is imperative for Sophaya to be relocated every three days due to many parties involved who wanted to kidnap her for ransom money. Of course, I can’t take her to the i

Chapter 59: The Target is Our Diva
It’s been exactly one year since his arrival at Heliconia and his conditioning. 3 months of re-education and 9 months of training. Even from the first time I saw him, Shankara had shown potential, particularly in Forte, abling to rival wielders of the aristocrat. I believe he has now been honed into the perfect soldier for Razor Peaks. There is no doubt in his abilities and loyalty to some extent. So, today’s test will measure whether he will continue to develop or stagnate.“Sir, a call from Jack Nelson,”Now, the main event is about to start too.***Arriving at the scene, I looked at the safehouse, which no doubt had been bombarded, and noticeable damage had been sustained on the building.“Gilman, stay on the lookout when you have the chance to enter the building and proceed with our plan,” I ordered him, to which he nodded. As I began to walk towards the building, someone emerged from the front door. “I suppose you have arrived already, Mr. Shankara.” A woman greeted me. She was

Chapter 58: Razor Peaks Emergency Meeting
As soon as I went to check on Sophaya, I only found her bodyguards bodies severely injured. Someone had already destroyed and ransacked the V.I.P. room. No, I am pretty sure at least 5 people were inside. As they finished their kidnap and ransacked the room, they escaped through the intended backdoor, I had previously ordered Sophaya to go.“Sorry sir, It’s all…” Duke said.“It was my decision. It’s my mistake.”Although we lost Sophaya, we found out the motive behind the kidnapping from the members of the Billy Pickers we caught earlier. The remaining lackey blurted out all the details that he knew.From the looks of it, I don’t think he could lie anymore, but I can never be too careful.I grabbed the telephone from the bar counter and dialled Mr Jones.“Mr. Jones, emergency meeting.”***“Who talked?” That was Mr. Jones's reaction.I didn’t respond.He put out his cigarette and sighed before standing up. Me and I were now inside Mr. Jones's office. It was quite a big room; his desk

Chapter 57: The Attack From A Rival Gang
“Mr. Ankara, what a pleasant surprise. I thought you wouldn’t be coming to the test concert,” Sophaya said to me with a warm smile, though the fakeness of that smile oozed an aura of anger.“Sorry, I was on a date,” I spoke back.“Ah, I didn’t know you were spoken for.” She complimented me with a witty gesture.The perfect solution to this matter actually would be to interrogate her right this instant. But, I wonder if that would play well to her since she obviously suspected something had happened.“I believe we had something to discuss about Mr. Ankara. Perhaps shall we discuss it now?”Understanding her cue, I followed up with an invitation: “Shall we go to my private room?” I said, offering my hand. But to my surprise, she walked past me with a slightly disgusted look and said, “Please show the way, Mr. Ankara.”Unlike her body double it seems she has a higher touch barrier.Indeed, her mannerisms are different than how they used to be.Confirming the possibility to a degree that t

Chapter 56: Sophaya The Screaming Cinderella
“Good Morning, Mr. Ankara.” The woman in uniform greeted me as I walked down the inn's floor.“Morning. Black Coffee and Bread.” I replied as I wiped my eyes, walking to my usual spot.“White or Brown?” She asked, holding her broom in her right hand.“Brown,” I replied as she turned for a smile. “Will be served soon!” The woman then went to the counter and talked to her mother. I opened my newspaper today and began to read the news. News about a growing business came to mind. Bootleggers of goods in Heliconia are still at large. Trading up to the Avaloria province, where the merchants resided on the continent,The tavern door opened, and Duke Hebsly entered with an unexplainable expression as he sat down in the chair in front of me. “What brings you here?” I said without making eye contact with Duke.“The man you told me to watch. He said he’ll comply.”“Good. Things will be easier that way. Did he give you his telephone number?”“Yeah, it’s all in this paper,” Duke said as he gave me
