Golden light came over the vast field where Lou-ra and Skr’ll trained, the essence of divine power saturating the air.

Skr’ll, in her magnificent golden dragon form, unleashed a deafening roar, her wings slicing through the air with a graceful yet fearsome force.

Lou-ra stood a few paces away, her hands weaving intricate patterns as glowing sigils materialized in the space around her. Her magic pulsed, the energy trembling with untamed strength.

She needed to get a handle on her new powers and the only way to do that was through intense training and constant concentration.

Thanks to the help of some gods, she has been able to train herself and become more confident, however, control sometimes was pretty difficult and it immensely drained her.

“Focus, Lou-ra,” Skr’ll’s deep, resonant voice echoed, her golden scales shimmering under the powerful sunlight. “Your spells lack control. Power without precision is chaos.”

Lou-ra gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing as she listened to

    The world stretched before them, a barren, windswept wasteland under an eternally gray sky. Thousands of soldiers marched in disciplined rows, the rhythmic clang of armor and weapons echoing through the desolate terrain. At the head of this unholy alliance strode two figures: Hero Hinnel, dressed in bright gold armor, just like he had worn 500 years ago when he he had gone to fight against Abron, his cape fluttering behind him, and Xeno, towering and dark, his demonic features twisted into a evil sneer. Xeno couldn't be more happier that they were getting much closer to finally eliminating his halfbrother and finally giving him the chance to rule the demon realm, then later the world, unmatched and unequaled.He looked at their armies matching together and he felt a sense of accomplishment.Their armies, human and demon alike, moved with an uneasy unity, their mutual disdain kept in check by a shared purpose.He couldn't wait to see Abron and the other soul inside him kenneling on

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   A Battle of Words

    The desolate field of the End World echoed with the uneasy clink of armor and the muttered whispers of soldiers, as two mighty armies stood at a tense standstill. Lou-ra stood tall, her eyes glinting more powerfully than ever due her anger, her staff planted firmly in the cracked earth. Beside her, Skr’ll shifted gracefully into her human form, her golden dragon scales retracting to reveal a tall, fierce woman with piercing amber eyes and a predatory smirk. Her long golden hair shimmered in the dim light, and her aura radiated confidence and danger.Both of them had planned to hold them off for as long as possible, even if it meant having to fight them.But Lou-ra would prefer not going that far. She might be stronger now and the same goes for Skr'll, but they were still outnumbered.

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   The Breaking Point

    The restroom was a war zone, the walls and floor soaked in water from the shattered sink as Nicholas battled with the monster desperately trying to gorge out his soul and consume it.He pushed her away from his body, giving him enough time to regain himself to but it wasn't easy because due to the damage already done to him, he was finding it difficult to see clearly. Nicholas breathed heavily, his knuckles raw and bloodied from striking the old woman disguised as Kaitlyn. She moved with an unnatural speed, her twisted grin never faltering. Her voice, though Kaitlyn's in sound, carried a sinister undertone that made Nicholas’s stomach churn.“Look at you,” she taunted, sidestepping his punch and delivering a sharp kick to his ribs. Nicholas staggered, his back slamming against the wall. “Weak. Hesitant. You can't even fight me properly because of this face, can you?”Nicholas wiped the blood from his mouth, his chest rising and falling heavily.He had taken quite a beating and it be

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   Shadows of the Forest Prison

    Nicholas sat on the mossy ground, his back leaning against a jagged boulder. His breaths came shallow and uneven, but each one felt more substantial than the last, his strength returning slowly but steadily. His body was battered, his mind clouded, and yet he could feel something stirring within him—a familiar presence reawakening. He was getting himself back little by little and he had Varak to thank for this. "You’ve been reckless,"Abron’s voice echoed in his mind, low and gravelly. "But at least Varak did what you couldn’t."Nicholas closed his eyes, trying to steady his thoughts. “She was evil,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “But I couldn’t… I just couldn’t kill her. I’m not like you, Abron.”"No, you’re not," Abron replied coolly. "And that’s precisely the problem."Nicholas flinched at the sharpness of Abron’s words. “I won’t become a heartless killer, even if that’s what you want.” "Heartless?" Abron’s laughter was dark and mocking. "You think compassio

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   Cold in the Wasteland

    The icy wind howled like a chorus of tortured souls, cutting through Nicholas's cloak and chilling him to the bone. The once-lush forest was now an endless wasteland of frost and snow, the trees stripped bare and encased in ice. The storm surged around him and Varak, visibility reduced to a few feet ahead. “Keep moving!” Varak shouted over the roaring wind, his voice sharp. “We’ll freeze to death if we stop now!” Nicholas’s muscles burned with every step, his body fighting against the biting cold. His mind, however, was alight with questions and anger. “This is your fault, isn’t it?” he yelled, his voice laced with accusation. “You said the forest reacts to weakness—what does that even mean?” Varak didn’t stop walking but turned his head slightly, his icy gaze piercing through the storm. “I said you weren’t strong enough to defeat her,” he said flatly. “The forest punishes failure.” Nicholas stumbled over a hidden root, catching himself on a frozen tree trunk. “She wasn’t

    The morning air was cool, carrying a sharpness that pricked Nicholas’s lungs with every breath. The sun barely pierced the dense grey clouds that hung heavily over the forest wasteland, casting a pale, ghostly light over the expanse. Nicholas tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turning white as he faced Varak. They had started training as early as possible in the morning as soon as they had seen the sun come into view. Varak didn't even wait for all the ice to completely melt before ordering Nicholas outside. “Again,” Varak growled, his voice as cold as the wind slicing through the forest. Nicholas lunged, but his movements were sluggish, uncoordinated. Varak sidestepped effortlessly, bringing the blunt side of his blade down against Nicholas’s wrist. The younger man grunted in pain as his sword clattered to the icy ground which was slowly giving way to grass."You're relentless" Nicholas said as he tried to regain himself. “You’re distracted,” Varak snapp

    The training ground was bathed in the faint light of a sun that barely pierced the ever-present frost of the forest prison. Nicholas wiped sweat from his brow, his breath fogging in the cold air as he readied himself for another bout. Across from him, Varak stood motionless, his massive frame a tower of quiet strength. “You’re getting better,” Varak said, his voice firm but carrying a note of approval. “But you still hesitate. You think too much, and that will get you killed.” Nicholas tightened his grip on his sword, its hilt rough against his calloused palms. “I’m trying,” he muttered. “Trying isn’t enough,” Varak snapped, his eyes narrowing. “You need to act. When the moment comes, hesitation will cost you everything.” With a sudden burst of speed, Varak lunged, his blade cutting through the air in a deadly arc. Nicholas barely managed to dodge, the tip of the weapon grazing his sleeve. He spun on his heel, swinging his own sword in a wide slash. Varak parried effortless

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   The Battlefront

    The air was heavy with tension, an eerie stillness blanketing the battlefield as two armies stood in stark opposition. On one side stood Hero Hinnel, a beacon of light and hope, his golden armor glinting in the pale sunlight. Behind him, a vast army of warriors, their faces set with grim determination, held their weapons tightly. Opposite them loomed Xeno and his army of demons, their crimson eyes burning like coals, their monstrous forms shifting in the cold breeze. Between these two forces stood Lou-ra, serene yet imposing, her hair flowing in an unseen wind as she meditated in perfect stillness. Her presence was an anchor of calm amid the chaos, her eyes closed as if she were unaware of the impending battle. Guarding her was Skr’ll, who had decided right there and then to become her loyal protector, whose eyes darted between the two armies, sensing danger in every movement. Skr'll had to be at high alert and protect Lou-ra from any attack Hero Hinnel or Xeno might throw her

  • The Final Confrontation

    The battlefield trembled beneath the weight of their struggle. Dark clouds swirled overhead, crackling with the residual power of magic that had been unleashed throughout the fight. The once lively atmosphere had turned into a place of death and destruction, where the air itself seemed to burn with tension. Every strike, every clash of steel, had pushed the limits of the combatants. And now, after what felt like an eternity of battling, there was no telling who would be left standing.Nicholas stood battered, his body sore from the relentless blows that had been dealt. He could feel the burn of his magic, flickering faintly within him, but it wasn’t enough. Not yet. He was holding something back, and the time had come for him to release it.Across from him, Abron loomed like a towering figure of destruction. His form was cloaked in the darkness that had consumed him, his black eyes glowing with an intensity that threatened to ignite the very air around them. His warhammer, vibrati

  • Wrath Unleashed

    The battlefield was a land of chaos. Huge holes left in the ground and numerous ice spikes littered the ground, mixing with marks of fire left by Skr’ll’s relentless flames. The air crackled with residual energy, and the oppressive heat from the fight mixed with the biting cold of Lou-ra’s frost magic. The three warriors—Nicholas, Lou-ra, and Skr’ll—stood in a tenuous formation, their breathing labored but their resolve unshaken. The other soldiers maintained their distance and all they could do was to watch and pray to the gods that Abron doesn't succeed in destroying the world as it is prophesied to be. In stark contrast to the tired faces of his enemies, Abron floated just above the ground, his dark aura shining ominously like an otherworldly flame. His black eyes glinted with malice as he surveyed his battered opponents, his warhammer resting casually at his side. “You’ve lasted longer than I expected,” Abron said with a smirk, his voice dripping with mockery. “But this is

  • Strength in Numbers

    The battlefield seemed to stretch into eternity, the once vibrant land now filled with craters and burnt grounds. Abron hovered midair, his dark aura pulsating with terrifying intensity, casting an ominous shadow over the terrain. His gaze flicked between Nicholas, Lou-ra, and Skr’ll, the three of them standing firm despite the oppressive force radiating from him. “You three are nothing but sparks trying to extinguish a wildfire,” Abron sneered, his voice laced with disdain. “Do you think you can match the power I now wield?” Nicholas stepped forward, gripping his blade tightly. The golden light of his sword flickered with each heartbeat, its radiance a stark contrast to Abron’s consuming darkness. “We don’t need to match your power, Abron,” Nicholas replied, his voice steady. “We just need to stop you.” Lou-ra raised her staff, her eyes glowing with divine energy. “We fight not just for the world, but for the hope that still exists within you, Abron. You’re not beyond saving

  • The Prophecy Fulfilled

    The battlefield was silent except for the rhythmic thrum of Abron’s dark magic pulsing through the air. His form was a terrifying glow of raw power, his body cloaked in blackened tendrils of energy that hissed and moved as if alive. The once vibrant light in Abron’s eyes had been replaced by an all-consuming void. He looked at everyone and everywhere as if they were nothing but insignificant things in his way and all he could do to take them off was to squash them off like bugs.Nicholas stood a few paces away, his hands clenched into fists. Behind him, Lou-ra and Skr’ll flanked his sides, their faces tense but determined. Varak stood at a distance, his warhammer grounded, a solemn expression on his face. “You know I cannot intervene,” Varak said, his voice deep and steady. “The laws of the universe forbid me from interfering in a battle of prophecy. This is your fight, Nicholas. You must finish it. I have faith in your power, I want you to remember that."Nicholas exhaled slowl

  • The Dawn of Catastrophe

    The battlefield trembled as a dark, malevolent energy surged from Abron. Nicholas staggered back, clutching his chest as a searing pain shot through him. He tried to fight through the pain that was threatening to tear them apart but it was proving impossible to stop what was beginning to feel like torture. He watched in horror as Abron’s body began to convulse, his once-mighty frame writhing uncontrollably. “Abron! What’s happening to us?” Nicholas shouted, his voice strained with panic. Abron’s eyes, now glowing a sinister shade of crimson, locked onto Nicholas. “I… I can feel it… the darkness… it’s ripping me apart!” Abron roared, his voice a tortured blend of agony and rage. Suddenly, a blinding flash erupted between them, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. When the light subsided, Nicholas gasped. Before him stood two figures: one was Abron, his body fully restored, his aura radiating pure destruction; the other was Nicholas, now in his own physical form, his body tr

  • Hero Hinnel Falls

    The battlefield was a storm of chaos, and at its epicenter stood Hero Hinnel and Varak, locked in a battle of wills and might. Sparks flew as Hero Hinnel’s golden sword clashed against Varak’s colossal warhammer. The sheer force of their strikes sent shockwaves rippling across the land, shaking the ground beneath them and forcing all other combatants to retreat from their destructive duel. Hero Hinnel’s golden armor gleamed in the flickering light of their attacks, his face set with grim determination. His voice rang out, firm and unyielding. “Varak, you can still walk away from this. You don’t have to die here" He said in a way that made it seem like he was offering Varak a chance for him to choose being shown mercy instead of being killed. Varak, towering and imposing, his eyes burning like molten lava, let out a deep chuckle. “You think I fear death, Hinnel? No, it’s you who should fear what’s coming. I’ve been holding back, but you’ve pushed me too far" Varak replied, his p

Yuki and Leon stood side by side, their auras intertwining as they unleashed their combined might. They were going for the kill even more than before and they were prepared to use whatever kind of power left they could muster.They could feel their mana gradually depleting and it only meant they needed to put an end to the battle as soon as possible. Across from them, Nicholas and Abron readied themselves, their fused strength radiating like a dark star. The silence between them was heavy, a pause before the storm. "Are you ready for what's coming?" Abron asked, his deep voice breaking the silence.Nicholas knew what he meant and although he had avoided it all through the battle, he knew he had no other choice than to do what Abron said. "I'm ready" Nicholas replied, his grip on his sword tightening. Yuki smirked, his voice echoing across the wasteland. “Still hold

  • Hero VS a god

    The battlefield erupted in chaos, with Varak and Hero Hinnel standing at its epicenter, engaged in their own battle to overcome the other. Sparks flew from Hero Hinnel’s golden sword as it glowed with a divine radiance, while Varak’s colossal warhammer hummed with raw, primal energy. "I'm glad I chose this Warhammer instead of sticking to my sword. I'm very sure you would have snapped it into two by now" Varak said, a smirk appearing on his lips."I'll still defeat you either way" Hero Hinnel said through gritted teeth.He didn't know exactly who Abron's new ally was, but he could tell Varak had an immensely powerful aura that would have sent any normal person running and begging for their lives. The two warriors circled each other, their auras crackling like thunderclouds ready to burst. A hush fell over the battlefield as everyone paused to witness the impending clash. “You’re very strong, Hero Hinnel,” Varak said, his deep voice rumbling like distant thunder. He hefted his w

  • Battle Cries

    The battlefield stood still for a brief moment, the tension thick enough to cut through. Abron’s silver eyes glimmered as he stepped forward, his grip tightening on his obsidian blade. Beside him, Nicholas's dark energy swirled like an ominous storm, his gaze locked onto their opponents. Yuki stood confidently, his crimson cloak billowing in the wind. Beside him, Leon’s fiery aura illuminated his sharp features. The two radiated an air of power and control, their synchronized movements an unspoken testament to their deadly synergy. All the days and weeks they had spent training rigorously led to this moment. “You don’t stand a chance,” Yuki said, his voice dripping with arrogance. “You might’ve survived this long, but now? You’re in our world.” "Don't be deceived to think you would actually be able to defeat me" Abron said, his eyes moving between the foes that stood in front of him. Leon cracked his knuckles, flames dancing along his fingertips. “Let’s see if the so-called
