" Yo Jeffrey look, we'll soon reach the holy city." A young man who was bald said with excitement. Beside the bald young man was another young man who was wearing an all black robe with a saber by his side.The young man turned towards the bald young man and spoke with a grin, " Yeah Marc, I can see a city in the distance, if it's truly the holy city then we can finally leave this godforsaken place."The excitement and hope was more apparent in Jeffrey's voice as he spoke, he looked at his back and he could see his army numbering close to a thousand which had people he cared for like his friends and wives. They had all shed sweat, blood and tears to reach where they were right now. Just thinking about everything they lost and sacrificed made him shake the more and then he shouted, " A CITY IS BEFORE US, IF THE LEGENDS ARE TRUE THEN THAT SHOULD BE THE HOLY CITY! THAT CITY IS OUR WAY OUT OF THIS SHIT HOLE! WE WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!"" YEAHHHHH!!!!" A resounding shout fill
As Jeffrey and his army kept on moving towards the holy city which was nearer, an internal conflict was rampaging inside of Jeffrey. The danger he felt from the city was increasing as they kept on moving closer and Sasha and Marc could feel it also. He didn't know what to do, should he just cancel the march and tell his people what he's feeling and hope that they'll listen or at least some would listen to him? Or, Should he just leave and abandon the people who won't believe him so that at least his life and the lives of the people who believed him would be saved? But he was not sure how many lives would be saved if that should happen and how many people would believe him, even his women might not listen to him since the hope to leave the wastelands was right in front of them. The internal conflict kept on going in Jeffrey's mind as they kept on moving closer towards the city but there was a soft and tiny voice telling him that whatever he chose won't matter though he ignored the vo
" Hey Jeffrey, what's up. I want to buy some pills."" Which pill?" " A qi condensation pill."" 1 gold coin." " What the hell man! That's blatant robbery!" " You already know it's a high quality pill instead of the normal low quality ones, so take it or leave it Michael.""… Fine. Give me ten." " Stop grumbling. You already knew it would be this expensive and besides you have money so stop acting like you don't."" Who knows how long my money would last if I keep on buying from you but it's worth it at least. I'm going Jeffrey. See you later."" Later bro." Jeffrey said quietly as he saw his younger brother going away cheerfully, he looked at his small desolate shop in an also desolate surrounding and sighed, something he had done a lot in his life. He then brought out his pouch from his inner robe and put his money inside of it. " At least that should be enough for this month's food." He chuckled with a hint of mockery in his voice. As he spoke those words, he could not help
" Huhh, finally found the cave." A tired voice rang out in a small cave. Jeffrey who spoke, cautiously entered into the cave where he found the ring. When he decided to look for this cave, he thought it would be easy to find the cave but the environment had changed since it had been two years since he found the cave thus he spent an hour looking for the cave. Although he was exhilarated when he found the cave, he wasn't careless to think that the cave would not occupied by beasts so he entered cautiously. " Looks like there's no beast inside though it's surprising that no beast would make this place their home." Jeffrey spoke quietly as he looked around in the small cave. As he was looking around he felt something unusual on the wall of the cave. ' What's this? This part of the wall is soft.'Jeffrey thought as he felt the wall. He had already checked around the cave the last time he was here but he didn't find a new treasure or something related to the ring he found.On his way t
' This is your chance for revenge, just do it, plunder his talent, his meridians and then kill him off. Ever since he was born, he has been enjoying a blissful life unlike you who has only suffered in your entire life. Don't you want to change your life, have you not been envious of his life, plunder everything he has and your life would change for the better. Do it for this is the way of the heavenly plunderer, it doesn't matter whether he's your brother or not, to become strong in this life you cannot be a saint. Love, friendship, brotherhood, relatives, none of that matters. You should know that better than anyone since even your father abandoned you. Plunder and become stronger.'A young man who was wearing an all black robe stood before two bloodied bodies. The two bodies were a male and a female, with the male been a young boy who is not even in his teenage years while the girl was older than the young boy by a large margin and even looked to be a young adult. The two bodies we
RING!RING!HOOF!HOOF!SPLASH!" HERE THEE, HERE THEE. THE GREAT KING, KING BARTHOLOMEW THE FOURTH, HAS ISSUED A SUMMONS. HE HAS HEARD OF THE WOES AND PLIES OF THE SLUM DWELLERS AND HE HAS DECIDED TO GRANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALL OF YOU. THOSE BETWEEN AGE FIFTEEN AND TWENTY ARE SUMMONED TO THE PALACE TOMORROW. THOSE OLDER THAN AGE TWENTY WOULD BE SUMMONED ON A LATER DATE!"" HERE THEE, HERE THEE…" A young man who was sitting on the bare floor at the sides of the road with a bowl in front of him looked at the courier who was riding a horse and also ringing a bell. The young man was in tattered clothes and looked like somebody who had not eaten or bathe in days. Beside the young man were five other people, two males and three females. All, were beggars." It seems you young lads are lucky." One of the males spoke, he was an old man who looked to be in his seventies." Who said we're lucky, what if the king is planning on killing us in the palace." A deep voice rang out from another youn
NEXT TWENTY! ENTER!" " Jeffrey we're next. Let's go."" I'm also here by the way Kiera. Jeffrey's not the only one here."" Uhmm... Sorry Ren." " I'm just playing besides I know whenever Jeffrey's around you, you forget things. Isn't that right Jeffrey?"" As long as it's not me she's forgetting then I got no problem with it besides I find it cute and funny whenever she acts like that."" Urghh… Jeffrey you're basically encouraging her to keep on behaving like that… Look her face is beet red! It's as red as my neighbor's vomit."" Fuck you Ren! Did you just compare me to vomit?"" Calm down. I didn't say you looked like my neighbor's vomit. I said your face looked like my neighbor's vomit when it's red."" You're still saying I look like vomit you bastard!"" Shit, Help me Jeffrey. She's gonna kill me."" Good luck. You're on your own."" Fuck…" Jeffrey chuckled as he saw Ren suffering under Kiera's hands. After calming down, he looked straight ahead and could see somebody enterin
What?Choose between the food and my family?What did the king mean by that?All this questions appeared in Jeffrey's mind when he heard the king's words. He just could not understand what the king meant by his words even after thinking for a minute so he asked, " What do you mean by that your majesty?"The king chuckled lightly seeing Jeffrey's reaction, he had seen that type of reaction one too many times today so he sort of expected it," What I mean is simple really. I can allow you to enjoy all this delicacies but it would cost you your family. Once you choose to eat this foods, the man who brought you to this room would send out an order to kill each and everyone in your family, your father, mother and sister. They would all die but you'll be able to enjoy all this food you've never eaten before in your life and I might also grant you more opportunities."Jeffrey listening to the King's words sat rooted on the spot not moving an inch nor muscle, his heart was shaken to core and
