Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 14: Shadow Sniffing Devils
Anom soon found the connection he was searching for as his soul came into contact with the familiar warmth."Anom!" An excited shout echoed as Della materialized in front of him and threw herself into his arms."Cassana told me that it has been a few thousand years, so the place I sent you to might have changed. After I checked down below using God's Eye, I confirmed that this place is nothing like it was in the past. I was so worried. I'm sorry, Anom," she said, looking guilty and worried. She thought her mistake might have endangered Anom's life.Anom smiled as he stroked her hair to comfort her. "What are you worried about? It was normal that you didn't consider it, as your perception of time is different than that of humans. Furthermore, currently you are suppressing your powers, so making such a small error was nothing much." Then he teased her with a smirk, saying, "Of course, if you are worried about your lover, then that's something I can understand.""Who's your lover?" Della

"Don't worry! At most, I would have to pretend to be someone who had lived in the mountains since I was young. Then I would have joined a school and studied along with the kids. Hmm, it would be even better if the teacher was a beautiful woman." Seeing her sad expression, Anom started to joke with her.Della's mood lightened as she scolded him cutely, “You haven't been here for a day yet, and you are already thinking of such things."Anom found her expression too cute and couldn't stop himself. Grabbing the back of her head, he connected his lips with hers. Della gasped at the sudden attack but soon responded evenly.Their tongues wrestled for a few minutes before they separated. Della's eyes looked moist with a flushed face, making Anom's heart even itchier.Anom placed his hands on her bottom, kneading the soft buns while saying regretfully, "Too bad this isn't the real world; otherwise, I would have 'attacked' you even more fiercely."As he heard this, Della's face turned weird. Sh
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 16: Adventure With the Little Devils (2)
Anom and the group went outside and had some fruit for breakfast. All of the little devils were excited once they found out that they could converse with Anom now. They chattered without stopping. Anom had already told them that he was no angel, making them sad. But this sadness soon turned into excitement when Anom told them that Della was his lover. They didn't even doubt him, and they became even happier. Anom also found their reaction cute. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Why do you guys eat only fruit? I mean, I heard some of you talking about eating meat in the future." It was the leader's father, the former leader, who replied. According to him, their ancestor, who was also the last powerful member of their family, ordered them to stop hunting for meat. The reason being that hunting required them to go out of these peaceful grounds and resulted in their group suffering casualties. With their low numbers, it was impossible to maintain this for long. But their a
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 17: The Feast and the Clue
The little flesh moun—ahem, the little red goat was playing around as the other goats ate the berries to fill their big bellies. Sometimes they would give some to the little goat, and it would put the berries in its mouth and start running around again. Soon it got tired from its antics and crouched down under a tree to rest. The fierce goat looked at the child once before ignoring it. Someone has to be mad like that gray wolf to attack someone from this group of red goats. As the little goat was lazing around, it heard a soft sound from behind it. It stood up and looked warily in that direction. But all it saw was a yellow pear dropped on the forest floor. The little goat became excited and salivated when it remembered the sweet taste of the pear. It ran forward excitedly but stopped when it was just about to reach it. It warily looked around to check for anything suspicious. Founding no problem, it started moving. Just as it reached its head to grab the pear, the pear slid far
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 18: Exploring the Self
Anom tried to imitate the feeling he felt just after coming to this world. His focus was on his soul as he thought about the method Della talked about. The first part of the three realms that Della had explained to him was the method for developing his own energy. In this step, he had to develop his body by stimulating his internal energy and combining it with his body as a whole. Only when he can gain mastery over his own body and make it suitable enough to accept energy from the external world will he be able to step into the next level. Suddenly, his soul shivered as Anom sensed something new inside his body. No, it was not new. It was just that he had failed to notice it before. His soul, or more precisely, his spirit, released some spiritual energy. Anom tried to move it around and make it do his bidding. It was a bit difficult at the start, but soon he started manipulating this energy. This spiritual energy, which can also be called mind or mental energy, was the first step
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 19: The Extra Wild Morning Hunt
"Damn it!"Anom cursed as he ran with all his strength. His movements were faster than before as he traveled around the trees in his path and dodged all the obstacles smoothly.But he was still not relieved.Anom looked at the thing in his hands and smiled bitterly. It was a fruit as big as an apple with a hard exterior. There were some green lines covering its dark brown surface.It was something that the sniffers gave to him a few minutes ago after they gathered back together. The group had divided themselves into small teams to make searching for prey easier.The leader's team brought this fruit. They said that they didn't know what it was, but a "big" monster was guarding it, so they considered the fruit precious and decided to steal it. They gave it to Anom and asked if it was of any use.To be honest, from the first moment Anom held the fruit in his hand, he knew that it was something beneficial for him. This fruit contains a huge amount of energy. Anom can use this energy to tr
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 20: Improving Strength; Parting With the Little Devils
The destroyed area gradually regained its calm.Just a few feet away from the edge of the destroyed area came a rustling sound.A human and a bunch of small creatures appeared from behind a shrub. They looked bedraggled, as the human male had dirt on his face and messed up clothes. The little black creatures' fur lost its shine because of the dust covering them from head to toe.Anom looked at his surroundings and couldn't help but take a deep breath while thanking his luck.While he knew that the beast was strong, the destruction it caused was more than what he had expected.He shook his head and looked at the sniffers. After seeing that all of them looked fine, besides their dirty appearance, he decided to leave.Man, it looked like we really provoked an overlord this time. Anom thought while on the way back. It was clear that the black-furred and green-striped beast was the boss of this part of the jungle.Anom realized that the fruit it was guarding was probably prepared for its c
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 21: The Chase in the Forest
The night was a time for rest. But in the forest, it was just the start of a new shift for a new force of workers. In the same terms, it also must be mentioned that night was the time when the "fiercest" work took place, literally.And Anom was currently traveling through the forest while trying his best not to disturb the "workers," who were resting after the day shift, and the night-shift workers, who were currently working.After his improvement in skills and strength, Anom found it easier to travel through the forest as compared to before.At the moment, he was traveling towards the rock salt deposits. It was the only place he knew about where humans visited frequently. Besides, he had also seen some traces of a beaten path that had formed due to people visiting that place frequently.He was training his movement techniques as he traveled. He felt a lot more confident about contacting other humans now that he was stronger than before.Although he knew that he would not amount to m

Chapter 83: Screwed Up Really Bad
"Now what?" Selvo suddenly realized that even his newly reached Materialization State was not helping him deal with the powerlessness he was currently feeling.When he first learned that their backer was one of the great families, Selvo was already imagining all the ways he'd enjoy himself freely in the future.But knowing his personality, his father had already warned him to stay within his limits, at least till the whole matter of swallowing the Safaira family was resolved.Although he felt vexed, Selvo knew better than to anger his father. So he decided to stop, or at least tone down, his activities.But one day, as he was roaming across the city, he came across a party of mercenaries. It was like any other party you'd found in Nulis City. Though what attracted his attention to that party was a beautiful girl—one like he had never seen before.She was so charming that Selvo had a hard time believing that he had missed the presence of someone like her in his own city. But he soon co

Chapter 82: Scaring Selvo Handler
Knock! Knock! Knock!Anom was roused from his focus as a series of knocks were heard on the door. Closing the book that was in his hands, Anom replied using the gang leader's voice, "Enter."The door opened with a click as a stout man appeared in front of him. It was the same guy who had previously informed him about the invitation from Selvo Handler, the intermediary that the original gang leader had arranged to pass on important messages between the two forces."Leader." The man greeted Anom respectfully before speaking, "Young master Selvo has responded.""Hm." Anom nodded. He then asked, "Where and when?"The intermediary immediately replied, "He's coming here." He added, "Now."Anom was a bit surprised before he muttered, "He seems to be in a hurry.""Yes." The intermediary agreed. He then thought for a moment before adding, "I also felt the same when I went to meet him. He seemed to be in a terrible mood." An expression of fear appeared on his face as he re-counted, "The express

Chapter 81: Arranging a Meeting
Anom and Kristin arrived back at the place where they had parted ways with the other two. But Nia and Crystal were not back yet. So they could only continue to wait.Kristin tried to relieve her boredom as they waited by reading the book that Anom had bought. But she soon got bored of it too."What are those two taking so long for?" Kristin furrowed her brows. "Don't tell me they encountered some trouble." Her expression turned grim as she looked at Anom and suggested, "Should we go look for them?""No need." Anom replied simply. "The list I gave them was not short; it's only natural for them to take some time." He paused before saying, "As for their safety, although not the best, your friend is still sharp enough to detect most of the dangers. That said, Crystal's not weak either. The two of them will not face much trouble, at least within the city."Kristin calmed down after hearing his words, but continued grumbling in complaint.After they had waited for almost an hour, the two gi

Chapter 80: The Handler Family Showing Off
Kristin and Anom were in front of a large, two-story building.Gazing at the display cabinets visible through the glass, Anom realized that it was a bookstore."Let's enter." Kristin motioned for him to follow as she walked through the entrance of the store.A moderate crowd was gathered on the ground floor, consisting mainly of adventurers and mercenaries. Practical experience was necessary, but it was also necessary to gather enough information and know-how before going deep inside the Zeru forest. The place was dangerous as it was; it would simply be fatal for the ill-informed.Kristin seemed to know her way as she led them deeper inside the store. Walking through the rows and rows of shelves, Kristin stopped in front of one.Anom saw her taking out a book with a hard cover. Leafing through the pages, she flipped to a seemingly particular page before dog-earing it at the top."All done!" Pressing it back on the shelf, she turned and smiled. "It was good, right?" she asked. "I learn

Chapter 79: Mercenaries and Adventurers
Inside, Nia was leaning in her chair, holding a glass of water over the table. Her face was calm, but the water stain on her clothes gave her away.Trying to act calm, she asked Anom, "Are we up?"Anom nodded. "Let me tell you about our first objective before we depart.""I hope we didn't interrupt your meal." Loreana suddenly said as she started acting like the polite host she was; she clearly considered it her responsibility, one that needed special attention, considering that the two girls were an important part of their plan to alleviate their crisis."It's fine." Kristin said as Nia followed up, "We were done anyway."As they all set down, Anom began telling them about the urgent objective that was his priority:"We have to delay, or possibly cancel, the marriage. The Handler family must not be allowed to continue with their plan. Only then will I be able to put my mind at ease and leave for the capital."He looked at Nia and Kristin and asked, "You two are fine with the arrangem

Chapter 78: Just a Bit of Shopping
When his eyes opened next, morning was already on its way.Anom looked at the sky through the window; it was gradually brightening up."It's time for action." Anom muttered before heading towards the washroom.After freshening himself up, he straightened his appearance and checked his gear before turning to walk out of the room. Following the stairs, he came down and made his way towards the exit of his quarters.Walking on the paved path that led towards the central region of the Safaira estate. No one beside him was staying in the guest area, so he didn't meet anyone on the way.Anom passed through the garden full of vibrant flowers and turned towards the hallway that led towards Loreana's chamber.He had only walked a short distance on the path when he saw a cute and lively figure walking in his direction."Ah!" Luna paused as she saw Anom appear from behind the corner. "Big Brother Anom!" Exclaiming his name, the cute little maid ran towards him with cheerful steps.Anom opened hi

Chapter 77: Am I Going to Regret It?
Seeing Crystal's unsatisfied expression, Anom sat up before leaning over to pull her over to him.Lying down once more, he then made her lay on top of him, her soft bosom resting against his chest."You don't have to worry, Crystal. You'll understand it soon enough." There was a kind smile on his face as he assured her.As Loreana heard his words and looked at his expression, which was in total contrast to the topic, she couldn't help but marvel at how someone could even say that with a straight face.Crystal, who was on top of him, suddenly squirmed. "Anom! Something is poking me in the stomach."Hearing her words, the other two blanked for a moment before Loreana suddenly glared at Anom.Anom himself was stunned. Facing Loreana's warning glare, he smiled wryly.Speedily, he moved his hand to check around his waist before yanking something out of there.It was his sheathed blade. "It was my blade poking her, not the "sword" you were...""Alright, I got it!" Loreana hu

Chapter 76: The Importance of S*x Education [Part 2]
"He informed me about the invitation from the then-head of the Safaira family.I was apprehensive, but then I realized that it was their territory after all. They could have done something to me already if they had meant it.I followed the polite messenger to the Safaira Mansion, suppressing my nervousness.I quickly met the dignified head of the Safaira family, under whose protection I had sought refuge.That was my first meeting with Uncle Gamus. He was in his prime back then, looking every bit like what one would imagine a family head to be.But he didn't intimidate me. One because he didn't want to, and another because I had lived with people much more powerful than him.As I entered the courtyard he had summoned me to, I saw a person tied up to a tree there.It was Bolance. His expression was green and anguished, but he didn't dare to speak as Uncle Gamus gazed at him regularly.To my astonishment, Uncle Gamus apologized to me on behalf of his nephew.Without waiting for me to sa

Chapter 75: The Importance of S*x Education [Part 1]
"I had never drank in my life before that. I had only seen Uncle Benny enjoy some liquor, while Lady Faustina too liked to taste some fruity wine. But they never showed any signs of losing control of their faculties.Maybe I had too much faith in my puny strength, as I decided to take a sip. How bad could it turn out to be?Just the first sip made me want to spit it back out; the burning sensation was only making it harder for me to drink anymore. But I saw that Bolance had also calmed down when he saw me drinking. He raised his glass to show his appreciation for accompanying him. Taking small sips, instead of the large swigs like earlier, he began talking about some business plans and proposals he had prepared. I didn't understand most of what he had said. What I did understand was that it was also related to the reason why he looked so down.As I tried to make sense of how a business related topic might be connected to his broken heart, I also had another problem to deal with.Bolan
