RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles FIGHTING STANCE
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip* *Drip*One drop after another, blood from Vox’s wound fell into the sheet of alcohol on the floor, mixing with it and changing the color of the spilled beverage to an increasing red hue. Mikie and the rest who had been observing the bleeding from behind Vox looked down at the gradually spreading blood and alcohol mixture then they looked at Vox. /“Hey Vox, you gonna patch that up first or—?”\ Mikie asked but Vox who knew what the rest of his statement was going to be cut him off./“I’m gonna patch it, alright, but first, I’m gonna kill the stupid prick that caused it and I’m gonna do it with my bare hands!”\ Vox said, aiming a mean sneer at Avery while his body vibrated with rage. He flicked his eyes down, crouched, and swept his palm in the alcohol and blood mixture on the floor, making sure he had enough liquid on the palm before standing up. Once standing, Vox clenched the fist of his wounded arm then pressed the alcohol-covered palm on the cut he had recei
RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles IN YOUR HEAD
Kenser gulped, swallowing everything she wanted to say.Mosey looked at Vox who had finished rolling up his sleeves then he got off the chair, stood on his feet, and said to Kove “Alright, time to protect Centshuu’s stuff”Following his lead, Kove too stood up, looked at Mosey, and said “By that you mean Avery and not the jacket, right?” Mosey chuckled heartily but before he could reply something cheeky, it became too late. Vox had attacked Avery.Vox rushed forward, right fist clenched as he reached back and struck a blow toward Avery’s head. “Avery!” Seeing the attack, Kenser yelled, warning him to look out while also thinking that he was done for. A punch that powerful from Vox should knock out someone of Avery’s stature immediately. He’d be lucky if he didn’t sustain any brain damage as a result. Vox and his friends all smirked as the attack went straight for Avery.Surprisingly, what none of them expected was Avery being extremely light on his feet, pivoting and evading the at
RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles BOTTLES AND UPPERCUT
Sitting comfortably on one of the Velvet Serpent’s main hall couches, a tall and muscular gentleman flanked by two beautiful service girls had his eyes fixed on what was taking place at the bar.{"Hmm, what a peculiar dance routine. If I wasn't wiser, I'd have thought that it was a gang-up, but violence is against the rules, is it not?"} he mused in Meratti, observing the strange exchange between Avery and Vox.Since nobody was able to touch the other all through their short-lived brawl, it hadn’t dawned on onlookers that what was happening before their eyes was a serious fight. The consensus for a majority of them was that it was a strange dance number, done to compliment the music performance on stage.After all, how could someone of Avery’s stature manage to evade all of Vox’s attacks? That could only be possible if everything was something previously rehearsed. Just then, the service girl by this intrigued gentleman’s left gently placed her hand on his jaw, fingertips sinking int

RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles AFTERMATH
After getting a closer look at the battle’s aftermath, seeing Kief’s and Fez’s contorted bodies on the floor and observing the damage Avery had done to them, Centshuu, masked with a confused expression, faced Avery.He asked “Even though I watched the craziness in person, for a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Pug— I mean Avery, you really did this to these two grown-ass men?” Centshuu asked.Avery took in a deep breath and then sighed to regain composure, no longer panting. “Yes I did, but honestly I had no other choice. I tried to handle things as best as I could peacefully. I wanted a violence-free resolution but these guys just didn’t want to comply. Even though there was a communication barrier between us, that still didn’t warrant things getting to this stage” Avery said disappointedly.Centshuu, seeing that the young man in front of him was being honest about trying his best to handle the situation peacefully but failed at doing so, grunted. He took another look at Kief and
RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles INSULT
Kove looked at Mosey, observed him for a few seconds, and made a mental note that the burly man was probably thinking the same thing he was. He furrowed his eyebrows and then took his attention to Centshuu who he gave a skeptical gaze.He wondered if what Centshuu was about to discuss in this approaching meeting was going to answer the questions he had asked himself, Mosey, and Shieve mere minutes before all of these shenanigans had happened.Kove, wanting answers right that moment but in the end accepting that he had to wait for when it was time grunted and finally focused on Bell./“Mr. Vox,”\ Bell said calmly.With a face depicting his annoyance, Vox who had helped his friends get up and all four of them slouching next to him looked at her. Any other woman would have been scared by how threatening Vox looked at the moment but for Bell, that wasn’t the case.She knew she had the backing of every single individual in the Velvet Serpent but most importantly, she knew she had the back
RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles TRUE INTENTIONS
Vox grimaced as he tried to remember what he had said about her and then like a bolt of lightning, it came to him./“You not only called me names in front of my workers and other guests but you also voiced your insulting assumptions of what I was doing in privacy with those two gentlemen. Your associate also insulted one of my girls which is the same thing as insulting me so Mr. VOX, tell me if there’s anything I’m missing”\ Vox cleared his throat /“Madam Bell, I accept to saying all that but I did so in the heat of the moment—“\ he said but was cut off again./“Mr. Vox, I’ll do you and your associates all the favor of clearing the amount you would have paid for the damage done to my establishment. Think of it as a final showcase of appreciation for your patronage so far but I won’t repeat myself. You and your associates should escort yourselves from the premises or else be forced out”\ Bell said, the anger in her voice becoming more apparent. Vox looked around where they were then
RETIRED TRANSMIGRATION: The Shadow Loss Chronicles THE REAL RIPPLY
/“….you have until the count of five to get whatever trash-water nonsense you came here with. Once that’s done, you have half that time to discharge from the premises or else get thrown out. We won’t warn you a second time”\ Ripply declared.By the side, Makieth who was surprised to hear such brashness come from a calm-looking individual like Ripply couldn’t help when her mouth gapped unknowingly. On the other hand, Bell who had known Ripply for the longest smiled./It’s unbecoming for a lady as beautiful as yourself to look so lost. Correct yourself”\ Bell said as she helped Makieth close her mouth then went back to crossing both arms. “Still as foul-mouthed as always huh, Ripply. For a second there, I was starting to think that your time abroad had domesticated you too much but I guess I was wrong” Bell monologued, staring at Ripply with nostalgic eyes. Mosey discreetly glanced at Kove, the only one among them who might have understood exactly what Ripply said. “Do you think he d

IMMUNE TO CHARM
Just as Alexander stepped outside the hall, he scanned the area for Blessing and saw her standing in the distance.He also saw some students talking to her but from how bashful and uncomfortable she looked, he could tell that the conversation being had was something she didn’t want to talk about. “Hey, Ble—“ Alexander called out, raising his hand to get her attention but was interrupted.“Alexander”Alexander stopped and groaned after hearing his name.He turned in the direction he had heard the voice come from, already knowing who it was because he recognized the voice. After all, it hadn’t been more than an hour since he last heard it.“Princess” Alexander said after looking at her from head to toe, wondering what she wanted. She was leaning on the wall of the exam hall, legs crossed and arms behind her back.“So you remembered my name after hearing me tell it to the invigilator” she smiled.“I have a really good memory so remembering wasn’t a challenge. Also, it’s an easy name to

HANDSHAKE
(“Crystal? What crystal is he talking about? And Foci? What the hell is that supposed to be? Is it like a title or something?”) Avery asked himself and then placed his hand on his chin.(“Hmm, does the Crystal he was talking about have anything to do with the gemstone on my forehead? But wait, Shieve also talked about crushing crystal so it should be something different from the gem on my forehead, right? Speaking of gemstones, I wonder what this thing on my forehead is all about. I think I remember a time I didn’t have it so when did it get stuck on my head and why can’t I pull it off?”) Avery asked himself as from underneath his hair he pulled on the gemstone on his forehead.It didn’t budge.He stopped messing with the jewelry when he looked at Vox and his friends being carried out of the premises by Centshuu, Ripply, Kove, Mosey, and then Shieve who was only confident because Avery had physically and mentally crippled them.Vox was trying to say something but Centshuu who was the

FREAK
All he and everyone else wanted to see was the other side of Vox’s head. The part that used to be on the floor and covered in the blood.Now that his friends had helped him sit up, everyone who was at the right angle could see what the condition of that part of Vox’s head was.With the amount of blood that had leaked from his body, if the wound was on that side of his head then it could only be seen as a miracle that he wasn’t dead yet.Emphasis on yet.“So all that blood is from his mouth and not a broken skull. That’s good.” Centshuu commented.After confirming, Centshuu smirked and looked at Avery.“See that, Ave. The bastard is fine— well, as fine as he can be after that punch. It could have been worse but the thing to note is that it isn’t so you’re good. Nobody died and you’re not a murderer so chill” Centshuu said.After seeing that Vox was alive and also hearing Centshuu’s words of reassurance, Avery finally calmed down.“You see. Don’t go getting carried away again and most i

OUT OF THE WOODWORK
“What are you waiting for? Aren’t you guys going to do something to help him? Do I have to ask for the people he calls his friends to help him again like last time?” Kenser said in a panic.Centshuu looked at her and then furrowed his eyebrows. “It’s you, bargirl. If I remember correctly, all of this started because the pug wanted to stand up for you” Centshuu said then turned to Avery who was sinking deeper into insanity.“Don’t you dare put this on me! This happened because Avery tried to protect you and everyone knows it. If you guys hadn’t carelessly stepped closer to these guys and antagonized them the way you did then Avery wouldn’t have had to step in and protect you. Doing something that might—“ Kenser said, looked at Vox and looked at Avery then swallowed her words. She didn’t want to say that Vox was dead because she didn’t know if hearing that would worsen Avery’s condition.“It’s my fault, huh?” Centshuu said and Kenser jolted She quickly covered her mouth. She realize

MURDERER
*BAM*The sound of Vox’s arrogant ass uniting with the hard waxed floor of the Velvet Serpent’s main hall reverberated in everyone’s ears. A sound only heard because the onstage live performance had halted the moment Bell made her appearance and kicked Vox and his friend out of her establishment. After all the training they’ve received, none of the girls could do something as disrespectful as continuing their performance, risking the possibility of stealing attention from the madam as she enforced her sovereignty and reprimanded the leader of some disrespectful guests.The same leader who got taught a lesson he would never forget by the young man from another world, adorned in tattered clothes and a borrowed jacket.The force Avery had punched Vox with not only sent him on a crash course between the cold hard floor and his rear end but, after the first impact, the momentum gained from the punch remained, causing the victim to skid a few feet backward until his back also met the floor

EXPLOSIVE POWER
During the moment that Ripply warned Vox, Mikie, Fez, Kief, and Graham, to leave the Velvet Serpent peacefully or face expulsion and Vox reacted negatively by clenching his fists and vibrating with rage, causing his friends to fear for what he was going to do, Avery had gotten himself distracted.His mind was enthralled, pondering the truth of the decision made between Centshuu and Ripply and why it was so important that Centshuu felt it necessary to bring it up at that moment.For a moment, Avery took his eyes away from his recent adversaries and lowered his head to contemplate the intriguing topic.In those fleeting seconds of looking at the floor, Vox turned around, pretended to heed Ripply’s warning, and walked away. (‘Hmm. I wonder if when I become a part of the squad like Centshuu eluded to, would I be able to get the answer about the decision Ripply made between the both of—‘) Avery's thought halted when he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.Vox discreetly reached

BONE KNIFE
These were all things they wondered about that caused their hearts to pound, and their fear wouldn’t subside until Vox finally acted./“Alright. I guess we’ll leave like the bitch wants”\ Vox replied, shocking but also relieving his friends who became happy, thinking that he cared more about them than his ego and pride.Centshuu, maintaining his poker face asked “What did he say, Ripply?”“The fuck leader of the fuck crew said they’d take their leave” Ripply answered.Centshuu grunted with concern. “I’m guessing he said more than that or else you wouldn’t still be this angry.”“Yeah. The bastard keeps testing my patience” Ripply replied.“Did he insult Bell or me?” Centshuu asked, knowing well that that was the only thing that would get Ripply angry enough to act and speak how he is now.“He did alright. He called her a bitch… to my face” Immediately and for a moment, Centshuu who had been keeping his cool, poker face and all, had a chip in his amour.His anger slipped right through
