Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 22: The Thief Saving the Damsel
“I must admit that you are a genius at the Foundational Level, Miss Crystal. You even managed to injure two of our people. But you could only do so because of your special tools, and I’m sure you’re out of any more tricks. Besides, you are injured.” The man spoke while trying to dissuade the girl from doing anything stupid. “Don’t think about escaping by jumping into the river, as that will prove to be futile. So, it’d be better if you came with us.” The girl scoffed, “Ha. Do you think I’m stupid enough to jump into the river and become an easy target? I am going to kill you all here and drink this river water as my victory drink.” Her body emitted a fierce aura which made it clear that she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. ‘Hmm. That was a cool line.’ Anom had encountered some fierce girls before but this girl made a really good impression on him. Her courage was commendable. Rustle~! Anom looked behind and saw that the two injured people had already caught up. He looked at
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 23: Crystal Safaira
Crystal felt her head spinning as she woke from her sleep. And while there was no sharp pain, she felt her whole body aching. It was normal considering how she had overexerted herself while fighting the black-clothed men. Thinking of the fight, she tried her best to sit up and take a look at her current situation. She sat up after much effort while trying to ignore the pain and soreness in her muscles. Crystal took a deep breath to calm her mind and looked around. At first she was confused by her surroundings. It looked like a cave but the surface was… wooden? She touched the wooden walls and realized she was inside a hollow tree. She nodded. Well, checking the surroundings was done. Next was checking the condition of her body. Crystal looked down at herself. She was surprised to find many black clothes wrapped around her body. They were covering all the places where she had suffered injuries. She was startled as she quickly checked her clothes. She also checked the bandages wr
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 24: The Girl Is Out Of Fuel
The sun was rising higher as the early birds decorated the tranquil morning with their twittering.A young man and a young woman were travelling through the forest, one of the places where the beauty of nature was at its peak, which also sometimes made one forget about the danger hidden within.The man was walking forward carefully while observing his surroundings. He was holding a short sword in his hand in case anything dangerous popped out of the woods.The girl was giving directions and correcting their route whenever she saw them deviate. She was panting lightly as she was exhausted after walking for only an hour.Shuua!A sound was suddenly heard which sounded as if an arrow was shot.Anom acted swiftly and hacked with his blade. The body of a green-blue snake fell on the forest floor. It had been hacked into two before it could make its way towards Crystal.Anom picked up and studied the two pieces and said to the stunned Crystal, “Hmm. Looks like you are not in your best condi
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 25: Obtaining the Golden Syrup Crystals
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Crystal, uncertain."We have to distract them and reduce the number around the hive before charging in directly. That's the only way. Besides, they don't have any attack power. I just have to be fast enough to prevent too many of them gathering over me. Don't worry. We'll run if we don't succeed." Anom reassured her. They didn't have much time to waste, so this was the fastest way.Crystal weakly nodded and asked, "Then what will you use to distract them?"Anom chuckled at the question and looked towards the young Tremor Bear. The beast looked back and bared its teeth, trying to put on a smiling expression.Crystal was exasperated, "And you said you were not a tamer. Look how you brainwashed the poor beast into agreeing to be the bait. It even looks happy."Anom almost laughed out loud, "It's happy because it thinks that I'm going to follow the plan it suggested.""What plan?" Crystal was curious about the plan a young beast could make."He sai
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 26: Things Might Be More Complicated Than They Look
The position of the sun indicated that it was already noon. Anom and Crystal had travelled for almost three hours by now. Crystal was looking much better than before. The Syrup Crystals were really useful in the case of energy depletion. It won't be long before she recovers completely. Although she looked fine, Anom still decided to take a break. Crystal didn't refuse either, as she also wanted to take a short break. Soon they came across a narrow creak and decided to take a rest near it. Anom sat down while leaning on a tree while Crystal went towards the creak to wash her face and drink some water. Anom looked at the girl and admired her beauty as she splashed her face with the cool water. Her slim waist was bent as the curves at her bottom became even more pronounced. Anom was in a daze as he couldn't help but stare at her. He had to admit though, all the girls he had met till now were all beautiful. Well, one was a goddess and the other two were angels. But the first female hu
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 27: First Kiss
"There are many ways they can use to manipulate your family members." Anom thought for a while before continuing, "They can cause some internal strife among the upper echelon. But that's just a basic method and I think your parents must already be prepared for such things. Other than that, your enemies can also make some of your family members think that your family has no chance of surviving in this clash. Then they will your give them some false hope that your family can only survive by surrendering and making your people force your parents to surrender. I don't know, the enemy is in an advantageous situation if we only consider the information we have on hand." He shook his head as he began wondering if he could enjoy himself after joining this mess. Meanwhile, Crystal began trembling. Tears were forming at the corners of her eyes as her breathing became irregular. Anom noticed her reaction and became anxious. The girl had started panicking. 'Damn it! I shouldn't have said it lik
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 28: Arriving At Their Destination
The sun had already finished most of its journey towards the west as evening began to fall. Anom and Crystal have been travelling for around five hours now. They travelled faster as Crystal was almost in her peak state. At this pace, they would reach the city soon. Anom looked around as he noticed that the concentration of trees here was not as dense as before. And there were also not any old and large trees like the ones he saw in the peripheral forest before. Well, many trees here were already thousands of years old but they still lacked in comparison to the forest he was in earlier. 'Then how extraordinary the main area of the forest must be.' He thought as he turned to look at the path he had walked on. "The city was very prosperous in ancient times and extended to this place. But this place was soon engulfed in a war between various empires and became lifeless. After a few years, the Zeru forest overtook this land. The peripheral region we were in before used to be the border
Shadow Walker – The Otherworldly Thief Chapter 29: Nulis City
This was the moment when he really felt that he had come to another world. But the hustle-bustle here also looked so familiar that he almost thought that he had returned to Earth.But it was just a moment as the different styles and appearances of the people here welcomed the otherworldly traveller to this new world.'Nulis City, huh? Finally, I'm here.'Anom took a deep breath and began following after Crystal, whose steps seemed to have gained a spring as she joyfully hopped towards her home.Suddenly, he felt some movement behind him. Although they were faint, Anom was already able to detect minor disturbances that didn't fit with the natural vibe of a place. This ability of his was strengthened further after he began gaining control over his internal energy.That's why, while the movements behind him were minute, they didn't escape his notice. Anybody else would have considered them as a part of the city noise. But Anom recognised those footsteps which seemed to be travelling thro

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
