" 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
" Boss. We found something, we think it might be the ruins of the ancient city." A young looking man said towards a young man wearing a black suit and black trousers, he had black hair but the tips of his hair were white. Though his hair color was different from the norm, what one would notice that was definitely not normal were his golden triangular pupils and silver irises.The young man whose eyes were different looked at the other young man who called him boss, his cold and indifferent eyes swept from the young man towards a middle aged man with a beard who was currently studying a map with intensity.The young man seeing the middle aged man not reacting to his underlings words spoke, " Mr. Ben, it seems you were right about the ancient city. You were not lying and that means you keep your life."" Of course I wasn't wrong and please address me as Historian Ben or Historian Benjamin, Mr. Jeffrey." Mr. Ben looked up and spoke with pride and confidence, not bothered by the fact that
" The Temple of Mammon!. I've finally reached it!." An excited voice rang out in a place surrounded by rubbles, destroyed buildings and also devoid of life. Jeffrey looked at the historian, who was currently more eager than even him to enter the Temple. He didn't know what the historian needed from the Temple but there was something he knew that the historian never knew he knew, the historian wanted to kill him. How did he know? The first time he met Mr. Ben he felt killing intent, it was very small and it disappeared faster than lightning. Even he was not sure if it was an illusion or not but he trusted his sensitivity to killing intents very very much. He doesn't know why the man hates him and wants him dead but does he care? Not really, since so many people wants him dead but he planned on letting the historian keep his life as long as he doesn't try anything foolish.As he was looking around the entrance to the temple, he noticed something on the walls of the building. He moved
