Overknight Hero Chapter 26: Victor Magnifica
Serena met with Zed to finally find where Mika was kept hostage. They were inside the Mylen Manor Forest. Both standing in front of a building resembling a factory. “Sorry, Zed, have you waited for too long?” “No, Lady Serena, it’s fine!” Zed said with a warm smile. “By the by, where’s Mr. Maru?” “Ah. Well…” Serena didn’t finish her sentence as she looked down. “Is there any chance of trouble?” Zed asks. “Umm, not necessarily….” PAT Not long after Serena spoke, Maru appeared behind her, patting her head. “Did you miss me?” Maru said. Serena was flabbergasted. She then dismissed the hand that was put on her and said, “Don’t startle me like that!” “Hahaha. Sorry Rena.” “MARUUU!!!!!!” Suddenly Zed feels left out of the conversation. He decided to say something in hopes of joining in, “Gosh, you both are like a married couple.” … Serena and Maru suddenly look away from each other. Zed could see that both of their faces were beet red. He then contemplates whether what he said w

“I refuse your wish,” One claimed as she raised her sword aiming to behead Maru right here and now. “Let Kyma Ryzes bless your soul!” One said and started her motion of strike towards Maru’s neck.SHUSRTT!!!!!The knife thrust… and soon, blood was everywhere.KUAAAKK!!One’s left eye was stabbed by a short knife that flew to her eyes.“Sorry, I’m late… Maru…”Maru gently tilts his head towards his back. There he saw a figure who was wearing a black shirt. However, their clothes were slightly tattered as if they were already fighting before they arrived.“Dad?”As Maru blurted out, One swiftly charged towards the Hoff. Their distance became close in mere seconds. However, Hoff didn’t seem to move an inch.FWUUFOne suddenly stops her movement towards Hoff as she surveyed her surroundings. “Is this supposed to be an elaborate joke?” She said.At first, Maru didn’t get what was going on.

“A man’s fist alone is a dangerous weapon.” Hoff stared menacingly at One.”The battle has just begun, and I will win!” Hoff shouted as he closed the gap between him and One.In retaliation, One desperately slashed her sword at Hoff’s throat.SWUSHH!! The blade missed, and Hoff dodged, only managing to graze some parts of his hair.As she threw the blade and did not hit anything, the force in One’s body became unstable, resulting in an opening in her body. Hoff, who was perfectly balanced then, wasted no time and took the opportunity to strike. His right hand clenched, forming a fist that swung aiming at One’s face.BUK!! Hoff’s right fist struck One’s right jaw.The sensation of the blow made One stagger as she was pushed backwards. Someone could be knocked out by a punch in the jaw. That is what Hoff’s aiming to do. However, given the situation, one punch doesn’t seem to cut it.One recovered from the punch seconds after and rebounded her stance towards Hoff. As her gaze became fir

“I am Four of The Victor Magnifica. Let’s have a great duel!” the woman proclaims.“I don’t care,” Xaviel said, holding his right hand while spreading it towards her.Sparks of silver light emerge from Xaviel’s right arm enveloping it. At the palm, a sphere is emerging from the nearby sparks. It was as if Xaviel attracted the silver light energy and focused it on his right palm. Four stared at him in awe as the sphere became larger and larger, up to 2 times the size of his palm.“Is this what I heard about? Phantom Armament?” She asks gleefully, smiling in excitement.“It’s not,” Xaviel responded while still maintaining his focus“Even better! I presumed this is something no one has seen before!” Four remained excited. “You’re quite a capable warrior, aren’t you? I commend you!”“You know, I wonder….” Xaviel’s sphere has stabilized. Now it is silent, and sparks around it are gone. It really looks like a silver ball of light.“About What?”“Why you can’t shut up? Does your mother know

Hoff cushioned her head with his hand as Four lay down on the ground. He was making an emphatic expression across his face while explaining his goal towards his supposed rebellion. Four seeing his face, looks away in silence after Hoff's explanation, seemingly reluctant to give any details on what Hoff asked. On the other hand, something inside of her feels nostalgic. Something inside of Tor made her feel trust towards Hoff.Her internal feelings piqued her interest, and she began to wonder and ideate what could have triggered her sudden change of perception towards Hoff. Was it because aristocrats were born possessing an ability to convince others more easily than any average person could? Or was it something else?She could feel a memory resurface as she questioned Hoff's significance inside her mind.-~“Yaya!! What took you so long? Were you at the nexus tree again?”Hoff smiled and said, “That’s right. Sorry for taking so long, lady Victoria”. Hoff then reached into his pocket, t
Overknight Hero Chapter 31: Oath of Malediction

The strong always trample the weak.It was the fact that governs the natural law of the world.People may think you don’t have to be physically strong once you become smart.Which was a misconception... A false feeling of having power against enemies.Other times, people with physical strength and smartness also lack something… It was influence.These three factors are what strength really is.These factors are things that can make you be called ‘The strong.’That is what my father always told me since I was little. That is what I have continuously been educated on. That is what he always forced me to do, to act upon others.I had to be intelligent, powerful, and capable of influence.I never thought he was right.I never thought I needed to do all of those things until our family got betrayed by the Mylen family.But even through all that betrayal…I still…never truly believed I could trample on the weak.Instead, I will be their wildcard, the one who will help those who can’t defend

“Did you put her to sleep?” Xaviel asked as she sat beside Ria's body, lying on the ground with a peaceful sleeping face.“Yes. I did,” Hoff replied as he sat down beside Xaviel.“She looks so… peaceful..”“She does. It is all thanks to my wife’s ability, of course.”“Wait, your wife’s Forte can make someone fall asleep?”“It’s something like that. To be precise, she makes sleeping bubbles like this.” Hoff points into the air as a bubble begins forming and floats. “As I learned about the bubble’s properties, it seemed to give someone hit with it a good dream while improving their sleep.” Hoff continued on explaining the contents of Quilla’s power.“About that…”“What is it, Xaviel?”“Hoff… is Forte… our powers connected with our mentality? Our state of mind of some sort, I mean?”Hoff widened his eyes in shock at hearing Xaviel’s words. It was because he was the first to ever mention, let alone think deeper about, the meaning of getting a Forte.“You are brilliant, Xaviel.”“I uh.. th

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
