In the present day, anyone over six feet would be considered tall. However, there was a time when a six-foot man was considered tiny. It was when the giants roamed the earth, and chaos prevailed over everything else.Rye, who has entered the realm hidden beneath the earth’s surface, known as the Hollow Earth, came across many depictions of stories on the walls. There were even statues of the likes of Gilgamesh who had likely come to this place during his quest for immortality very long ago.Rye’s path was full of bones of giants, monsters, and men alike. The smell wasn’t unbearable, but it was far from being pleasant.“These bones… if they fall in the wrong hands, they’ll use the DNA to create hybrids. I don’t want to waste my energy, but I can’t ignore this.”From the history that Rye learned, a lot of wicked things were done by those in power to gain military advantage over the enemies. Though there were no longer kings in the current modern society, the real power still was within
Akira roamed throughout the town and people meditating and practicing martial arts bare-chested when the temperature was extremely cold outside.One of the locals saw her and said, “A vampire is not welcome into our place. If you don’t want to hurt yourself, I suggest that you remove yourself from our sight.”“Ah, I apologize,” Akira quietly walked away. She didn’t explore too much and returned to Dahlia’s side.Dahlia was waiting outside a house.“Where’s Rye?” Akira asked.“She’s had some business to take care of,” Dahlia said, knowing that Akira didn’t feel that comfortable when around Rye. “What about you? You came back early. Did they not greet you in a friendly manner?”“What makes you think they’ll greet me like I’m their friend?”“Well, they’re the type that believes that strangers might actually be angels in disguise,” Dahlia said. “So, they don’t treat strangers poorly.”“Angels, huh… I never thought that angels were real,” Akira sat down next to her. The wooden bench was su
Once Mina’s body was sealed up as per Dahlia’s request, Akira thought she could leave. However, Dahlia still stayed in this town, waiting for Rye to return.“Where exactly did Rye go?” Akira asked. “Can’t we go and help her if she’s late?”“I gave her two days, so let’s be patient,” Dahlia said with a smile.“How can you smile in this situation?” Akira muttered under her breath. “I’m feeling very tense because the locals have been giving me cold looks. And they seem to have strange technology that can probably help them fight against vampires. Otherwise, they wouldn’t so blatantly show hatred and hostility toward me.”“The vampires have brought much trouble upon them, so it’s just cause and effect,” Dahlia said. “What goes around comes around. Even though you didn’t directly harm them, they still hold a grudge against all vampires. They can sense the danger you possess from your energy.”“My energy?” Akira raised her brows.“Your thoughts are negative toward them, and they can sense t
“I have cancer?!” Elizabeth’s mother, Dorothy, almost passed out from hearing the news straight from the family doctor of the Sterling family who had come to check upon Rebecca’s health and then ended up checking Dorothy’s health because she said she was having constant headaches. “It’s still in the middle stages, so it’s curable,” the doctor said. “You don’t have to worry. Just follow the treatment methods I suggest, and you’ll get completely healthy in a few months.” Saying that he wrote some medicine for her and then left. Dorothy began crying, and her grandchildren, Lisa and Roshan comforted her. “I wanted to grow old enough to see you two get married and have children,” Dorothy told them. “Now,I don’t think I’ll live that long anymore.” Her words made the children cry. Just then, Lisa remembered something. “Grandma, a few months back, I wrote an essay on cancer. Uncle Benjamin helped me write the essay. Let me bring that to you.” “Benjamin wrote it?” Dorothy shook her head. “
Dahlia reached the entrance to the Hollow Earth through which Rye had entered not long ago.The lightning strikes were still happening everywhere around her.Dahlia knew that the technology to create artificial clouds, rain, and lightning existed for a long time, but she didn’t know that it was possible to bring lightning down even without a cloud, and she couldn’t even comprehend the reason. It was too mysterious for her, which was why she had decided to go and see her friend.Dahlia rushed down the cave’s path without hesitation.In another realm.The battle between Benjamin and millions of fallen angels and demons was only growing more intense, as the demons kept receiving energy from outside the realm and were growing stronger by the second.Demons—the disembodied spirits and the dead offspring of the fallen angels—were used as chess pieces by the fallen angels who had telekinetic powers. They were having entertainment while making their children fight Benjamin however they saw fi
“When you’re not able to see each other, hear each other, smell each other… then you should try to feel the soul instead,” Ryan taught Benjamin and others when they were young and sitting in a big, beautiful garden where the stingless bees roamed and produced real honey. “Living beings are electrical beings at their core. Our words are electrical. Our thoughts are electrical. Our soul is electric. Many hidden things in our realm that your naked eye can’t see happen through electricity.” He then sent them a mental message. “I can speak directly to your mind with the help of electricity. Just by listening to good music, you can get your physical and mental injuries healed. Just by sitting on the grass, you all are interacting with the electrical charges in the earth. These charges help recharge your blood and make it flow as it should, which in turn heals your body from organs down to bones.“So, what I’m saying is… everything that happens in our world at its core is electrical-oriented
“What annoys you the most when you work?” Selena was asking all the three maids, while holding a bundle of cash in her hand. “Whoever gives me the best answer will get these 10,000 dollars!”Delle, Amber, and Kathy looked at each other once.“Uh, it’s probably when I take the laundry out of the dryer,” Kathy said, “and the socks keep dropping. It’s honestly so annoying, ma’am.”“You should use your brain, Kathy,” Amber laughed a little mockingly. “I use a laundry basket, so that nothing falls on the floor! Or, maybe, using your brain well is impossible because you drink too much caffeine all the time!”Kathy glared at Amber, trying her best to not flip out. “What about you then? What annoys you the most while working? Why don’t you answer that?”“Well, it’s obviously seeing your face when I’m working,” Amber answered, making Selena burst into laughter.Kathy couldn’t keep a straight face anymore. “You little!” she started smacking Amber’s butt. While they were wrestling and quarrelin
Veronica had always wanted to prove herself by getting a decent-paying job, so that her family members would give her some respect and don’t just treat her like a forever-child. However, hoping to get a job proved infinitely much easier than actually getting one that she believed she deserved. She used to love playing drums when she was young, but she didn’t pursue her interest to become a rock star because she didn’t want to leave home and go on tour all the time. It was too much work, she believed. Why work so hard when she could already go on a vacation once or twice every week? Most of her friends usually took over their family businesses and became doctors, lawyers, or started their own companies with the money they took from their parents. But what should Veronica do when she didn’t even really know what she was truly passionate about? She didn’t like being a producer like her father. Though she was interested in becoming an actress in the past, her mother was against it, sayi
