2024-10-29 19:42:56Keith didn't move a muscle, he stood there looking at the men. It was a stare-off, the men found Keith amusing. “Say shrimp, where are you from? Are you aware that we run this part of town? And we are just doing our job so why don't you just run along now before you get hurt.”
The men broke out in laughter, they were mocking Keith’s appearance. They were mocking the way he popped out of nowhere to tell them to stop what they were doing like he was some kind of king.
“I will leave, but I am leaving with this young lady.” Keith was serious when he said that, this made everyone present pause for a bit and look at him.
“Please sir don't risk your life for me, they will not hesitate to kill you so please go.” The lady pleaded with Keith, but it was as if he was not going to be listening to her.
“Don't worry, I will make sure that they don't lay a finger on you,” Keith smirked as he kept his eyes on the men watching them like a hawk.
The men felt insulted, they didn't expect someone like Keith to belittle them or even stand up against them. “What in the world? Who does this low-life think he is? The great Ethan Burns ordered that we bring that Lady to him. Even her own family agreed to the marriage but I don't see why she would run away.”
Keith turned to look at the girl standing close to him, “I see you don't want to get married, why so?”
“It doesn't concern you, someone of your class won't understand how higher class marriage works. I am being used as a trading tool to help a business grow and you think that I will remain there?” The lady was holding back her tears, Keith didn't ask her any other thing he just turned to the men and looked them in the eye.
“If you want her then you will get through me,” Keith smiled as he prepared himself for their attacks.
The men looked at themselves then broke into laughter, “Why don't we use him as an example of why people shouldn't try to be heroes then maybe some will learn from him.”
The men pulled out crowbars and other weapons they were going to use on Keith, Keith drew back a bit and took a stance. ‘I have been itching for a fight,’
The men launched at Keith, they were thinking he was going to run away the moment they charged but it was not as they thought. Keith didn't move, instead, he waited for the men to make a move first. Keith was quicker than any fighter they had seen, his strikes were precise and deadlier than anything seen anywhere.
The lady Keith had saved stood there dumbfounded, she didn't believe that the man before her had this much strength or that he was a skilled fighter. ‘I have never seen anyone fight like this, not even Grandpa can pull all that off this quickly anymore. Just who is he?’
Keith knocked down all seven men except their leader, he was looking at him with bloodlust in his eyes. It was like he was going to kill him if he flinched a bit. “Now, go tell your boss you ran up to something and you don't think that the girl will be marrying him anymore.”
Keith turned back to see if the girl was okay, but the man seized the opportunity to pull out a gun. “Go to hell you demon!” But before he could pull the trigger Keith was already in front of him, it was like he moved with the wind.
“Before you say anything remember that I gave you mercy, you brought this upon yourself,” Keith said before knocking the man out cold with a deadlier strike. It was all unreal to the lady standing there, she looked at Keith like he was some kind of god that fell to the earth.
“What in the world just happened? I didn't expect him to even fight but he took down eight of them all by himself.” The lady kept looking at Keith, it was strange how he looked like a normal man but his skills were on the par of a great warrior.
“You can go now, find somewhere to stay. I don't care what you do, just don't get kidnapped again.” Keith turned and began heading to the hotel lobby, he didn't like to be the center of attention.
“Wait, please at least can I get the name of the man who saved me?” The lady asked with a calm tone that it looked like she was trying to be polite as much as she could.
“Why do you want the name of a lower-class man? What use will I be to you?” Keith used a mocking voice turning to look at the lady, he wanted to know what her reaction would be if he sounded that way. He looked at her and it was clear that she was a bit embarrassed and this was a bit strange for Keith.
He had expected someone that would speak back to him immediately but instead, it was like she was petrified. “Well, I would love to know the name of the man who saved me and maybe take him out sometime.” The lady had a vibrant smile on her face, it was like she was feeling safe with Keith.
“Oh, in that case, my name is Keith Norman. And what may I call you beautiful lady?” Keith looked at her with a smile on his face, he always knew how to make anyone happy.
The lady blushed as she looked down, “My name is Noelle Hathaway, of the Hathaway Family. I want to thank you for saving me, I don't know what would have become of me if you didn't show up.”
Noelle bowed her head, Keith looked at her and wondered if she was just being nice in the meantime or if was that the way she was trained.
“Well if it's that important to you, I am Keith, Keith Norman.” Keith waved his hand as he walked to the hotel lobby.
The girl stood there with a smile on her face, “I pray we meet again,”

Keith walked back to the Hotel Lobby, he was trying to act like nothing was going on when he knew everything was going wrong but he chose to act that way since he had taken care of the threat. ‘I honestly thought they would put up a fight, but they were all flukes and they called themselves guards. Pathetic,’ Keith was a bit disappointed, he had expected to fight people with extraordinary strength. But he didn't get anything like that, he only got to beat around some rather weak men. Keith got to the Hotel Lobby, he didn't catch any sign of his guards he decided to wait for them. “They probably went to look for me, I will just wait here.”Keith made himself comfortable by sitting down and waiting for his guards to come back. It was like everyone was muttering the moment he took a seat in the lobby.‘I know I am not dressing properly but must they make it look like a big deal?’ Keith tried to shrug off the fact the people there were looking at him like he had committed some kind of c

Keith was looking at the man Jared had brought to him, he observed every single detail about the man trying to know who he was and why it was him that Jared decided to call. “Sir, I told you to leave the premises before I decide to call security to remove you from the hotel.” The man was looking at Keith who didn't even want to care about what the man in front of him was saying. “Don't you hear him? He is the new general manager of this hotel and the one that will decide who will stay here or not.” Jared was looking at Keith waiting for him to do something like beg him or the man for forgiveness. But Keith was unfazed, he simply looked at the man like any other person and didn't say a thing. He just made himself a bit more comfortable than before. “I am not going anywhere and if any of you have a problem with that then I will suggest you take it elsewhere.” Keith was trying his best not to be bothered by anyone, it was as if he was even trying to avoid anything that would make him

“Mr. Jacquline, what are you doing here? I was not expecting to see you here.” The manager sounded like he was scared when he saw the man standing by the door.The man standing by the door was the owner of the Phoenix Spring Hotel and the city’s third richest man. He was not the best of people to hang around but it was known that he hardly came by his Hotel.“I know you might think that there is a problem here but I will assure you that everything is being taken care of and you will no need to worry about anything.” The manager was looking at Mr. Jacquline as he was looking at the way the guards were holding Keith like he was some kind of criminal.“Mr. Jacquline, your manager is one of a kind. There is no other person on this planet earth that would be able to handle such a problem without messing up and it would have the end of this establishment.”Jared butted in, he was trying to make the manager sound like a good guy to the hotel owner, he was only doing it to make sure that he w

“What in the world are you doing? Who do you think you are?!” Jared was filled with rage, he was not even trying to understand what was going on. The only thing on his mind was how he was going to make sure that he made Keith pay for trying to embarrassing him. “You think there is something you can do? You don't even know who I am! I will make sure that you will die of hunger when I am done with you.” Jared began walking to Keith, he was going to make sure that he got his message to him. Keith looked back at Jared, he didn't know what he was planning to do but he was not about to stand there and watch them do something. “You know that there is no way for you to get anything out of whatever it is you are doing but I will tell you one thing. You have overstayed your welcome here and you don't want to make me angry.” Keith was not smiling anymore, he was looking at Jared trying to make sure he made go up to his hotel room and not take it too far. “What do you think you are?

There was silence in the room, Keith was pissed off and it was not looking like he was going to listen to anyone. “Sir? What do you mean?” the man kept shivering; he had heard Keith but he was not sure that there was going to be a chance for him to even talk to Keith again. “Are you deaf? I told you to get yourself out of here and make sure that you don't show your face around here again.” Keith was stern when he said those words, the ex-manager knew better than to make Keith angry than he was already. He stepped back and began to walk away, there was nothing he could do or say to even make him consider giving him his work back. “This is beyond an embarrassment; he has lost his job and there is no way he will even get it back even if he were to beg for it like that. I know that there is no way for him to get another job in this city.” “He has made himself a fool, I don't blame him too. There is no way I would have known that the lad over there played an important part in this ho

Keith and Jacqueline were walking together to the office. Keith was trying to hide the fact that he was filled with rage at the moment and it was not going to be nice if he was to explode. “I am sorry sir; I didn't know you would arrive here this early.” Jacqueline was still apologizing to Keith; he was not about to make sure that nothing would make Keith angry. “I am not mad at you Jacquline; I know you didn't know that I would be here at any time now so there is no way you would have thought that there would be a fight and it would cost you an employee.” Keith was a bit serious; he was not sure that there was any explanation for what he had faced earlier. “Marx was meant to be here; I don't know why he is not here and why he is absent.” Keith was still angry that he didn't meet his guards there nor did he see his closest ally, Marx. “Sir Marx would have been here but there were some unforeseen circumstances he needed to make sure that there would be nothing that would irritate

“I have checked everyone but the rat still keeps himself hidden, I don't know how he was able to keep himself hidden from us for long.” Marx sat down, he knew that there was no way he would be able to get things if he didn't find a way to get the culprit. “Strange, then it means that the person is amongst our ranks and he has been hiding from us. But how is possible that they would cause an accident that almost killed you three years ago.” Jacquline was not even clear on wh would think of trying to kill Keith. “Clearly whoever did it wanted to remove our master from his throne and they were trying to kill him to make sure their plan didnt fail.” Marx was looking at the table trying to make sense of the entire thing but it was still not clear to him how it happened under their watch. Keith dropped his glass on the table, he looked at the two men and he had something to say but he di not know how he was going to say it without causing a bit of confusion for them. “I know this is goi

I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name gently, I sprung up and took my axe ready to kill any zombie in the area. I didn’t know what was going on but I looked up to see Susan standing close to me. I was shocked to see her looking at me like that.“Is there anything wrong?” I asked her as I got up to my feet, I was trying to make sure that she was okay and nothing happened to make her look like she had seen a horror movie character.“No, I wanted to talk to you I could lie down anymore.” She said as she sat beside me, it was like she was trying to get a friend out of it all. I didn’t want it to look like I was not trying to talk to her.“Okay,” I shifted a bit for her to sit down and tell what it was that was bothering her. I didn’t know what it would be that was making her feel uneasy.She sat down and by the looks of things she was quiet, it seemed like something had happened to make her even think of coming close to me.

It took me an hour to kill the zombies that covered the fourth floor, it was like they were weaker than the other zombies I had faced but it was not that. I had gotten stronger and I knew I was only going to get stronger than this if I was to keep moving.‘If I can go faster now, why don’t I go check out the office and know if I will find anyone still alive there.’ I was thinking of trying to go see if there were any survivors up on the seventh floor, knowing that I could move at speeds faster than what I would normally move at. It was going to be ideal for me to go check if I would see anyone there.I turned to the stairs and ran up, every corner leading upstairs was filled with zombies and there was no telling if there was going to be anyone still alive after all that had happened there.I got to the seventh floor and it was a mess, all the desks were turned upside down. I didn’t know what it was that would even make me think that there would be a survivor.“There is no one here, th

Darius put on his clothes and began making his way out of the hospital, he was going to find where he would find a dungeon to raid. He was not going to stand there and watch his sister stay in pain. ‘Finding a dungeon is going to be hard work, I need to make sure that nothing is going to hold me back.’ Darius looked at his hands, he paused when he realized that he didn't even have a simple weapon that he would be able to use to protect himself. He was not going to be able to do anything if he didn't have a weapon to even think of fighting back. ‘I don't even have a mere dagger to fight with what am I going to do?!’ Darius was panicking inside his head, he was not sure what he was going to do and he was looking around to see what he was going to be able to find but there was nothing there. Darius was lost in confusion when the screen came up, it was right in front of him. ‘Notice, head to the dungeon that appeared in the East side of the city where you will face your next task an

It had been two months and Darius had been following the instructions of the system whenever it came up, it not only helped him make his body grow to a different level. It changed his physique and everything about him, he had turned to a different human entirely. He had followed all the instructions and noticed that he had turned into a different warrior, Darius had reached a level of power that he was even thinking of reaching without the system. “Hey, have you seen that guy in the seventh ward?” One of the nurses whispered to another nurse, her face was flushed and bright red. “Yes, I thought he was some scrawny-looking guy but he has been exercising and it seems to be working. He now looks like a drawing in a book I read.” The other nurses shrieked with joy, they were not able to hold themselves back from the joy they felt looking at Darius.

Darius was filled with fear. He looked around to see that he was in a dungeon filled with Skeleton Warriors who could end him. “What in the world is going on here?!” Darius avoided all the attacks coming his way, but he was not sure how he would be able to block every attack. Darius kept running. He dodged the skeleton warriors' attacks and noticed that they were trying to hit him down. ‘Wait a minute, I don’t know how it was possible to get here. Is it because I ignored the screen?’ Darius looked at the warriors, he dodged another swing from a warrior. Darius looked down to see a skeletal blade by the side, he didn't know what he was going to do but the screen left a message. It told him to make sure he survived. “Here goes nothing!” Darius picked up the blade and tried to block the warrior's blade, he noticed that once his blade hit theirs it shattered it. He was shocked that there was something that he could do with a blade. ‘What in the world is going on?’ Darius was shocke

The dungeon raid was one of the worst in history. Hank had to report it as unsuccessful, and the Department of Raids wrote it down as a fluke. “Why in the world is something like this happening? I thought we had checked that Dungeon and it was recorded as a C-ranked Dungeon. It was not meant to be an uncharted dungeon and from the looks of things the surviving members had a story to tell.” One of the supervisors wanted to know what had happened there but the message he got from Hank. “Yeah, but he went back and he found out that there was one more survivor, but he was unconscious. What's more surprising is that Hank knew that there was no way he would survive, he said he had a hunch about the boy before he went back to check on him.” The other supervisors said as he looked at the report that Hank brought to him. “What is more shocking is the fact that he said that the boy was mutilated in front of him and there was no way he would be able to survive the wounds but oddly it was clea

Everyone was filled with fear the moment they saw what was happening in the dungeon, they were not sure what they were going to see next but it was clear to them that they were not in a C-ranked dungeon and they were in something greater than that. “Stay together, the last thing I want is to lose anyone out of fear or anything like that. So please don't falter and stay close to each other.” Hank was giving orders to make sure that there was no way for him to lose any of his squad members. Darius was filled with fear but he clung close to the team, they had seen the writing on the altar that said prove you are worthy. But then no one understood what they were going to be facing in the dungeon. “How on earth did they mark an Uncharted as a C-ranked dungeon?! We might be in a bloody S-ranked dungeon.” Jean spoke up, he was scared to his witts. Darius could see that everything he had said earlier was different now and he was scared for his life. “I have a daughter and son out there. I
