Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Sinking Heart
Sometimes...it just feels like the world itself hates me.The weather matched Maxus' mood. The heavy rain, the dark sky, even things like the eerily silent environment and coldness of the atmosphere, everything seemed to reflect how he was feeling. The teenager reached his home as the Soultaker, drenched completely and began undressing, removing the pieces of clothing and armor on his body."Why..." Maxus muttered, collapsing onto his couch in defeat.He didn't want to feel anything anymore. Yet again, because of him...someone else he didn't want to die was now gone. Ding.Maxus reluctantly dragged his phone out of his pocket, looking at the notifications on the screen. Usually, he would he on cloud nine, messages from Leah asking if she could visit. He didn't want to throw his problems onto her again...she really doesn't deserve any of this.Maxus set his phone down, closing his eyes and leaning back into his couch, trying his best to clear his head, too exhausted physically and emo
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Men in Blue, Stained in Red
Monday.Tuesday.4 days left till the Election.5 different locations attacked by the Soultaker in just two days. Seventeen gangsters killed, five freed immigrants who were forced to work here and seven girls who were freed from the black mail of high ranking officials in powerful companies. Everything seemed to pass by like a fever dream, memories were fuzzy and many times, Maxus found his body moving by it's own, his own combat instincts keeping him fighting like a beast while he...He didn't even feel conscious.Maxus ravaged his way through stacks of files, threatened the people responsible and yet, no one had any clue on what Minister Kenneth was truly doing. Most of them were simply getting paid and most of them didn't even know who was running the entire operation.Tuesday Morning. 10am.The vigilante returned home as he always did, soaked in a mixture of blood and sweat. Maxus set down a new bag of files he collected, transactions from Cheng Finances to smaller businesses who
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Hounds of Gold
Kenneth Cheng, Minister of Finance and CEO of Cheng Finances suspected for a magnitude of crimes.That was the headline.Reynesh knew what happened, immediately getting up from his bed to pack his clothes into a luggage. Ali Kaur had started the case officially, presented the evidences to a judge who has locked all the evidences into the legal system. In the meantime, Oscar and Alicia had already been gathering all the evidence and submitting them to news stations all over the country, ready to spread the deeds of the Blood Lion everywhere.Ali Kaur watched as Judge Lily Sim analyzed through all of the evidences, her eyes clearly shocked with all the information that was given to her. All the crimes that have been taking place, the way the evidences were shown perfectly displayed how they were hidden for so long. "I cannot believe all these have been happening in our country without anyone knowing about it." Lily muttered."I didn't believe it either. But as a lawyer when the victims
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Soul of the Scorpion
The day he had hoped would never arrive... They had done what he once thought was impossible. Kenneth Cheng pressed his palms together, pulling on his hair as the pressure of his reputation leak increased. An image he had taken so long to build up now at the risk of being completely wiped by a lone vigilante. "Kenneth?" The Minister swallowed his saliva, trying to hold back his emotions as his wife Laura entered his office room within their penthouse apartment. " Those accusations about you on the news...those aren't true right?" "Of course not babe. How could they be? Someone is jealous, I suspect that I have successfully targeted a plague in our country, someone who hates the good I am doing for this country but don't worry, we will bounce back from this setback. I will make this nothing more than a minor inconvenience." Kenneth tells his wife. "Kenneth...please don't lie to me." Laura begged. "I'm not-" "I saw the evidences. Those doesn't look fake. Many of those are records
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore A King's Collapse
Eden knew this was his only way out.If the Soultaker was indeed to be trusted, then this station was one of the remaining few that was still un-corrupted by the Blood Lion.The assassin held on to his bleeding hand, limping slowly towards the police station where he was instantly spotted by several officers. "Who are you?! Stop right there with your hands up!" The first officer fished his taser out of his equipment belt, pointing it at the assassin.Eden raised his hands, looking at the policeman with an emotionless look on his face."That's...he's an assassin isn't he?" A police officer seemed to recognize Eden when the chief inspector of the station walked out. Officer Wong himself looked directly at Eden who still had his hands up, looking back at the inspector. The assassin's visible scars across his body and tattered clothes had already told a story that Officer Wong had already roughly figured out."That's the Red Scorpion, one of the most infamous assassins in Asia." Officer W
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore Who Will You Be
Who Will You Be I have bled. I have fought. The first kill. Maxus stood over the body of a serial rapist who had been on the news for the past few days, a man who had been wanted for kidnapping teenage girls. It was pure coincidence that Maxus had bumped into him at an abandoned construction site that he was investigating for news of the killer of his father and when they met that day, Maxus knew this was his first victim to unleash his rage upon. Maxus could remember the look on the kidnapped girl's face, pure horror and fear filled her eyes as he jammed his combat blades into the eyes of the rapist, twisting his eye sockets out and ending his life brutally, ripping two holes right through his first victim's head, pushing his bloodied corpse onto the ground and splattering chunks of meat out of his skull. He didn't even feel a thing, his heart felt empty and remorseless. The girl closed her eyes, accepting her fate as Maxus walked towards her to cut the ropes that tied her limbs
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore 8 Months Later
8 Months Later"See you tomorrow evening?""Yeah, 7pm right? I'll be there."Maxus took in a deep breath, sliding his phone back into his pocket as he slipped on his freshly constructed Soultaker mask, taking a step back into the cold shadows of Sun Plaza Shopping Mall, counting down to midnight and awaiting for his prey to arrive. The shopping center was closed as midnight approached, most lights of the building now turned off, allowing Maxus to adopt the shadows to his tactical advantage."Alright, how many boxes are we expecting?""20, at least 40 kilograms. Make sure it's all accounted for.""I thought there was 200 boxes.""We shipped those into IKEA just yesterday."Maxus crept into the corner of the furniture shop's pillar, watching as four adult men unlock the entrance of the shop, opening it and shining their torches into the darkness. "Should be within that red sofa, open it up." One of the man whispers as the second proceeded, opening the zipper of the sofa and sure enough,
Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore City of Assassins
"Who sent you?"Spider ignored Maxus' questions, straightening her hands and revealing two knives, each at least two feet long, glowing green. "Come on, find out yourself!" Spider screamed, sprinting towards him and slashing her weapons out, forcing Maxus to take a defensive maneuver, using The Black Moon Sword to knock away the first two slashes when Spider performed a quick cartwheel, positioning herself onto the ground before launching a mid spin kick right into Maxus' mask, blasting him backwards."You're a pricey one you know? A million dollars?! You're rare!" Spider spat, throwing one of her blades at Maxus who smacked it out of the air swiftly with his sword only for Spider to jump towards him like a wild animal, catching her weapon before bringing it down onto Maxus who held her blade with his sword."I'm not fond of asking twice." Maxus warns."Your reputation is true, you really don't stand down from a fight. If I can kill you, I can charge more for my services." Spider glee

Birth of the Dragon
Bus trip time!Maxus and his friends! Maxus could feel the part of him that never grew up feeling slightly excited for what he was about to experience. Maxus had rarely experienced any form of travel nor luxury and now, he found himself awaiting in queue to board a 5 star luxury overnight bus, paid fully for by Siu."What do you mean charge my phone?" Maxus couldn't understand the features the bus offered."There's an in built charger on every seat." Dante explains."That's not possible.""Why not?"Gan sat beside Siu who were both in front of himself and Dante who was trying to hold back his laughter, watching Siu roll her eyes irritably as the gigantic Gan snored loudly in his sleep. "Aren't you pretty good at meditating?" Dante teased Siu while Maxus still inspected the bus seat's charging plug, still impressed in awe by the comfort and convenience the bus possessed."Meditating does not turn off my ears." Siu complained, grabbing her earpiece and turning up the volume of her musi

Fallen From Grace
Two heroes, killed in one day.Maxus now found himself waiting at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic, drenched in rainwater. It was stormy, violent winds paired with a heavy rain which blasted Maxus at full force which the vigilante just willingly tanked, hoping that his physical discomfort could somehow hurt more than lingering guilt he had crawling around his heart.The smell of wet asphalt filled his nostrils as a streak of lightning lit up the view in front of him, granting him a glimpse of the town as well as the two silhouettes of Tuskblade and Wing Serpent respectively, both of them finally arriving at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic."Soultaker? Are you alone?" Siu asks."Dante's downstairs being treated by Doctor Han. We were chased by the Puppet Man, both of us were completely outclassed. Nightbead found us, stayed behind to hold the Puppet Man back but I have not heard from him since then." Maxus summarized as Tuskblade took off his hardened leather mask, revealing the f

Cybernetic Nightmare
You're not indestructible.Your Kevlar laced clothes and armor can only protect you so much from the bullets and damage you constantly run into but at the end of the day, you're just somebody who doesn't know when to give up, somebody who cares more about punishing and saving rather than preserving your own life. Call it foolishness or bravery, you and I both know that is the truth. That's who you are... Maxus Tan. Who told me this...?Maxus could only spare a moment to remember those words as he was now sent flying across the air at uncontrollable speeds, smashing back first into the side of a parked van, shattering the glass and denting the metal doors of the vehicle. "Ugh..." Maxus could barely get back up when the cold metallic fingers of the Puppet Man grabbed him by the collar, tossing him into the air yet again.You cannot die. Not now.Maxus forced his eyes to stay open, deploying his chained blades which shot through to the roof of the police station, propelling him away fro

Strings of Torture
Colonel Amu closed his eyes, knowing in his heart that his final moments might be upon him.A six man vigilante squad had just defeated his entire military base of over a hundred men.He was in a dark room with a singular light bulb hanging on the ceiling. There was no visible entrance or window and in front of him was someone he never would have thought he would ever have the misfortune to meet and yet the demonic protector of Singapore himself, the Soultaker was in his presence. The vigilante's glowing hollow white eyes glared directly into the colonel's soul. "You don't know who I am, my kidnapping will have the Royal Thai Army down your throats in hours." Colonel Amu braved."My blade can be shot down your throat before you can even blink, wanna bet who's gonna be faster?" Maxus taunts."Why am I here?" Colonel Amu asks as from behind him, Siu lightly tapped her wrist blades against the Colonel's ear, warning him:" We know about the morgue and the people in your camp, there agains

The Penjaga
The PenjagaThis wasn't the first time Maxus had stepped foot in a luxurious estate. Nevertheless, he always found such places too surreal for him, admiring every last detail of the two story bungalow like house he had stepped into. The house reminded him of a villa, smooth bamboo, grey marble tiles and beige wood made up the majority of the materials in the house, providing a simple and cozy atmosphere.The main entrance led to a wide open concept living room that faced the seaside, allowing the cool breeze of the ocean to reach the living space, accompanied by the natural warm lighting of the environment. At the very center of the room, a large dark oak wooden table stood as Maxus took a seat, still admiring the many details the house boasted."I know it's pointless to say this but...out of courtesy, do make yourself at home." Dante tells him, sitting opposite him by the main dining table, placing his feet on the top of the table and munching down on raw olives. He was completely r

Dragon Fist
Maxus found the fighting style he was being attacked with familiar.Those sharp and powerful strikes, radiating with a raw primal intensity yet fluid and controlled, clearly needing years and years of training to achieve. Maxus didn't even want to utter another word, surging forward in a blur of explosive punches, testing his opponent's caliber through sheer overwhelming attacks, seeing how this mysterious stranger would respond.Maxus' blows thundered through the air, each one a testament to his battle experience and reputation. The mysterious stranger ducked and weaved through the attacks, moving like a graceful fighter when avoiding the attacks, his movements emulating those of a serpent like creature.He's adapting...Maxus switched up his fighting style just in the nick of time as the mysterious fighter retaliated:" I don't wanna do this. Stop!"The man clawed at the air towards Maxus, performing a series of complex patterns weaving intricately at Maxus who suddenly found himself

Guardian of Southeast Asia
Maxus had been called many things.The Soultaker, the guardian of Singapore. The man who overthrew the Blood Lion and his armies. The man who massacred the invading forces of the Revenant, killer of the Asia's most infamous assassins, defeater of the Red Scorpion and now more recently, the demon rampaging across the criminal world of Southeast Asia.All of the corpses surrounding him, the fists and blades blasting at him, the bullets whizzing right past him or striking his Kevlar sewn jacket and armor. Fighting to him now was nothing more than second instinct, it was almost like he could predict the future, reading through enemy strikes like an open book and countering even before they finished launching their attacks. "It's him! Run!""Run?! We cannot lose this place! We have to fight back!"18 whole criminal organizations have fallen since the day he left Singapore. Hundreds of the people who have fallen victim to him, in jail or morgues. The rumors and stories of the Soultaker has

The Death of Maxus, The Rise of Soultaker
Daylight. It was finally peaceful. Maxus opened his eyes slowly, his head spinning in pain as his consciousness and senses slowly returned. He was barely recovered, many parts of his body still aching with soreness and pain but for the most part, it was the most refreshed Maxus had ever felt in weeks especially with the immediate weight of the Revenant's threat now gone. Memories of the previous night was hazy, all he could remember were the flashing images of Ali and Reynesh picking him up, bringing him to their house where he provided the number of Madam Ang to come and help him with his injuries. Madam Ang did what she was best at, helping tend to his injuries while Maxus slipped in and out of consciousness for hours and...someone...a familiar and gentle presence helped clean him up. "Officer Wong...Yuki..." Maxus' attention diverted to his fallen allies. Was Yuki still alive? Did the medics manage to stabilize her condition? "I was wondering when you'd wake up fully, you're
