TEN YEARS AGO:

Arome looked at his grandfather with trepidation in his heart, with as much courage as he is known to have, none of that matters in the face of a force as powerful as the King of Idu. From his spot before the throne, Arome shook slightly. It was forbidden to look the king in the eyes, but it was his grandfather’s iron-clad rule that all his descendants looked him in the eye whenever he was addressing them. It showed respect and it showed strength… Arome would rather run in the opposite direction. The aura this man has was beyond intimidating.

“Nothing? " Are you sure you have tried everything you can?” his voice boomed across the throne room, causing Arome to wince slightly as his father took it upon himself to respond to his grandfather.

“No, honored father. Whatever gene is responsible for our ability to connect to the cosmic lion and develop our Lion Star abilities… it seems it might have skipped a generation with Arome. But that doesn’t mean he-“

“SILENCE!”

    He roared, rushing forwards. The two cultists that had been standing in front of him while Tarak punched a hole through his chest were shocked to see him. However, with Tarak here they did not think they had much to worry about. Well…at least until Arome whipped out the revolver he had painstakingly kept hidden through all of his ordeals, after defeating the female cultist with super strength and durability. The shock at seeing a barrel pointed in their direction could not be compared to what came next as Arome decided to use the skill he had gained from his system. It was instinctive for him, almost as if it was something he always knew how to do.While he was not sure if it would work for a revolver, Arome was left with no choice but to try. His life was already in severe danger, and he needed an advantage over the Tarak guy, or all he would be able to do was to keep dying for him, over and over again. But in order to do th

    “H-help!”“Huh?”Arome turned his head to the side. The first of the cultists he had attacked was still alive. He gave the woman a closer look as he walked towards her, with slow, steady steps. He could see her tremble. As tears slid down the side of her eye, Arome shook his head, a grin on his lips as he inclined her head to the side to see the extent of her injuries. He winced, her brain was exposed and pieces of her hair, skin and skull still clung to the railing where Arome had smashed her head into.“Do you want help?” he asked her, as her eyes widened in shock at his question. More tears slid down her eyes as she barely raised her head to nod, the pain immense and the weakness in her body getting stronger by the second. Despair hung in the depths of her eyes. Anyone could tell that she did not want to die, but considering the current state of things, Darius doubted she had any right to have such thoughts.“Well don’t worry, I’m going to help you.” Arome did not even waste time a

    A revolver with a power comparable to a sniper. A cultist's head burst apart, the screams of his partner forcing the rest of them to move into action. But Arome fired again, feeling an intense drain as he used . The final shot blasted a hole through the chest of one of the cultists about to open fire on the approaching workers. That was enough to get all of them to turn, including the hounds in his direction. They opened fire, even as Arome kept running forwards, feeling the hail of bullets pelting his body, until one took him in the eye, sending his dead body crashing to the ground. His blood-covered body slid across the tiles until he came to a stop in front of the cultists. The hounds had moved against the workers.A cacophony of shots later and three more people were dead. A woman and two men, the rest of the workers were cowed by this loss, as the hounds surrounded them. They huddled together, screams and cries of shock and pain filled the air as the Cultists tried to get things

    The injured cultists could hardly believe their eyes, or even understand what had just happened. But that shock increased even more when Arome stirred, less than a minute after he had been shot full of bullets. As he slowly got back up to his feet, the sound of the bullet shells falling out and off his body could be heard as he moved his neck from side to side. Once again, he made everyone watching feel like he had just been plucked out of a scene from a horror movie.[The Presence Stat Is Active]Arome did not waste time, the second time around. He had learned his lesson about how stupid a monologue was, and a rather painful one at that. So he just pointed the rifle in his hand and let loose.“No! Wait! Please!”He didn’t listen. The staccato sound of gunfire filled the air as bodies dropped one after the other. He did not let up the pressure until the gun in his hand clicked empty. He threw it aside and gave the corpses in front of him one final look. When he was absolutely sure the

    Arome scoffed, as the brother and sister shifted their gaze to the intercom, relief visible in their eyes. If they were surprised by the fact she had just called him your highness, they did not show it. A chorus of Boss and Mrs. Boyce filled the area, which prompted Arome to even take a look at the 350th floor.It looked as if they had knocked down all the walls, and created multiple workstations. There were massive tubes and pods all over the place, a massive central console, and a lineup of mannequins. Some of them had half-completed superhero suits on them, others were empty. Some looked complete, but you could never tell. It was a rather colorful ensemble, but noticing a lack of black or white made Arome frown. They were minimalist colors and his favorites, followed by blue for reasons he has never been able to figure out all his life…for some reason, whenever he thought of death, the color blue popped up.“Bert and Bertha, I am happy to see that you are okay. " I was worried that

    “If you think an apology is going to sway me, then you do not know me at all. I don’t make deals with people I can’t trust. And you have proven that you are, in fact, one of the most untrustworthy bitch! I’ve ever met in my life. I’m getting out of here. fuck your suits, fuck your father and his sister, and fuck you too. I’m no one’s weapon or tool. You’ve read my file. " You know my fucking history and know I’m here for a fresh start from people like you that have used me time and time again.”Boyce remained silent for a few seconds as Arome started pulling shoes off the feet of the dead cultists. It was hard finding one that fit him. But as he was doing so, Bertha stepped forwards and placed a hand on his shoulder. She gave him a kind smile, that, frankly speaking, caught Arome off guard, and then she pulled him into her embrace. At first, the awkwardness of the situation hit home. After all, Arome was still stark naked, and only the clothes in his hands separated him from the woman

    The sound of liquid being poured into a glass could be heard. Accompanying those sounds was another of many whimpering in pain. Mistress Blight Soul and Master Blight Heart sat staring into each other’s eyes as they intertwined their arms and drank from a pair of silver goblets. The liquid within sloshed softly, spilling out the side of their mouths as they drank, a rather dark smile etched onto their features.Life-giving red dribbled off the sides of their lips, staining their pristine white robes red, as they shifted their eyes to the person who had been whimpering. “Come on, Mr. "Boris, you don’t have to suffer so much, you know. " While your blood is exquisite, I don’t want to spend my entire time here draining it out of your body…there are more useful ways to put it to good use." Mistress Blight Soul spoke up as she shifted her gaze to the man that they had crucified against a wall of monitors.She was a beauty, luscious black hair that stretched down to the middle of her back.

    Arome watched them work with a dull look in his eyes. He was lucky enough that they had a shower on this floor, and he had gotten cleaned up. It had been a rather dull affair though, as he stood in the bathroom, his eyes locked on the image of himself.With all the blood washed off and removed, he could finally see his face again. His eyes seemed to be slowly changing their color. It was weird, but it looked like the black of his eyes had developed an extra layer within them, a ring of white within that black. It made it somewhat eerie to look at, but Arome did not particularly care.He had never been bothered about his looks, chocolate brown skin that spoke of his Nubian ancestry. Sharp features that were soft, yet imposing. And his hair…one side of it was now a stark shade of white, from the roots. He ran a finger through it, a tired sigh escaping his lips. White…usually a sign that vitality or the soul has been tampered with, or the mind has been broken. Each death, it seems, left

  • Severance Vs The White Lion II

    Arome crashed to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Severance burst into a wild and raucous laughter as he spread his arms wide. He turned hoping to find the look of despair he was so overly fond of, etched in the faces of Arome’s comrades. Instead, he watched wide eyes as they systematically dismantled the force he came with, his eyes drawn to the way Luna literally turned the bodies of his allies inside out. It was a scene that spoke to him and shook him to his very core. He took a step back, watching as the last of his allies were either subdued or killed. Leaving him alone against the rest of them.“I would advise you to run, your leader, Mr. prince has already fallen to me. He’s dead, cut into pieces like the animal that he is. But I welcome you all to try and face me, it would bring me so much pleasure to sever you from your bonds on this earth. And you!” he turned to Look at Luna who had taken a seat and was looking at him with one leg crossed over the other. Her pitch-blac

  • Severance Vs The White Lion I

    Arome stared at Severance as the super villain looked right back at him. There was an obvious tension in the air as both men were waiting for the other to make the first move. Arome was not stupid, he knew he had to be extremely careful when it came to Severance, his power was the sort that could not be dealt with in a straight forward manner. Arome inclined his head towards the katana that Severance held as he asked.“Do you know how to use that?” he asked as he turned and nodded to Aminu. Who gave him a bow and pulled up the case holding Arome’s own sword from under the bar’s counter. Severance raised an eyebrow. “What?, you want to have some sort of sword duel with me or something. I should warn you, I am a lot more dangerous than you think I am, you can not match me in a fight with blades, I will tear you to shreds.” Arome scoffed as he nodded his head.“That may be so, but you’re still going to be the one that ends up dead. So answer my question, do you know how to use that?” A

  • Arrival

    Arome sat in his modest room, the flickering glow of the television casting long shadows across the room. The news anchor's voice was solemn, relaying the chilling details of another brutal attack in the heart of the city. "Authorities have confirmed that the notorious villain known as Severance has struck again, leaving a trail of chaos and death in his wake. The latest incident occurred late last night in an abandoned apartment complex, where several high-profile criminal figures were found dead along with their families. Witnesses report seeing a lone figure, wielding a katana, moving through the area with lethal precision. The police are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity." Arome sighed, his mind racing with thoughts of the relentless killer who seemed to evade capture at every turn. He knew that Severance was no ordinary criminal; his methods were too refined, too calculated. This was a predator with a purpose, and it was becoming increasingly

  • Excitement For Bloodshed

    Mayor Akiko's office was bathed in the dim glow of the city lights that filtered through the tall windows. She stood by her desk, her silhouette sharp against the backdrop of the sprawling metropolis. With a quick, decisive motion, she picked up the phone and dialed Severance’s number.The phone rang only once before Severance answered, his voice a deep rumble. "Severance here.""Severance, we have a situation that requires immediate action," Akiko's voice was calm, each word meticulously chosen. "Prince Arome and his companions cannot be allowed to continue their operations. They have become a thorn in our side, one that must be removed.""Understood, Mother," Severance replied, his tone firm and resolute.Akiko's expression tightened at the term, but she pressed on. "The club is their stronghold," Akiko explained, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. "It’s heavily guarded, but we have the element of surprise. Gather Zhang and his crew. I want this done swiftly and efficient

  • Rage

    The air in the mayor's office was thick with tension, a storm brewing just beneath the surface. Mayor Akiko stood behind her grand oak desk, her eyes blazing with fury. The veins on her neck and temples were visibly pulsing as her rage reached a crescendo. This was not the composed, calculating politician the city knew; this was a woman on the edge, a force of nature about to unleash her wrath.With a primal scream, Akiko's hands swept across the desk, sending papers, files, and ornaments crashing to the floor. The sound of breaking glass echoed through the room as picture frames and trinkets shattered against the walls. Her once immaculate office was rapidly transforming into a scene of chaos and destruction.She grabbed the edge of the desk and overturned it with a roar, the heavy wood slamming onto its side. The sheer force of her anger seemed to reverberate through the room, shaking the very foundations of the building. Bookshelves were next to face her wrath, their contents spill

  • Confessions In A Meeting

    Arome took a deep breath, trying to steady the whirlpool of emotions that Luna had stirred within him. He could still feel the phantom touch of her lips, the fiery imprint of her slap, and the tantalizing promise in her words. It was maddening, this dance of desire and duty. He knew he had to focus, to clear his mind and prepare for the dinner. There were important matters to discuss, yet his thoughts kept circling back to the twins.He stood up, his body tense with unresolved need, and made his way to his quarters. The room was sparse, almost utilitarian, a stark contrast to the opulence he had been accustomed to as a prince. He began to strip off his gear, his movements automatic and efficient, honed by years of military discipline. The familiar routine helped to ground him, to bring some semblance of order to his chaotic thoughts.As he changed into more casual attire, his mind wandered again to Astra. Sweet, gentle Astra who had endured so much. The thought of her suffering stirre

  • Passion

    Arome woke up with a headache, this was the last time he was going to use his head to stop a punch. When Berth and Bertha and told him that he could use his head to smash a hole through walls, he had gotten the idea into his head that he had a skull that could smash through anything. Unfortunately he has had to learn his lessons the hard way, so no more stopping super powered punches with his head. He tried to get up, hit he immediately felt a weight on his right side, he turned to see that Astra had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He frowned, not because he was not happy about the situation, but because he could tell she was having a nightmare. The way she shook and whispered to herself, and the way her hands grabbed onto his suit.Instead of moving away he pulled her closer, his hands moving through her hair. It was silky smooth, and considering both sisters had locks of curly hair that fell in waves on their head, it was surprisingly easy to run his hands through those locks. Arome

  • Feelings

    When Demetrius showed up with an unconscious Arome, Astra and the temple guard siblings felt their hearts jump into their throats.“What happened to him?” Astra asked, almost immediately a tendril of dark energy seemed to waft of her body, clinging to her form like the haze of a mirage. Almost instantly everyone around her felt a little bit sick, even Demetrius could not withstand the force of Astra’s power.“Calm down, the fool gave himself a concussion when he decided to use his head to stop a punch form a super that can turn her entire body to metal. He passed out on the way here. His power should have him back up and causing trouble as usual in a few hours. In the main time he needs rest, while the rest of us must prepare for the scenario of retaliation from the police captain and the mayor f the city.” Rowan said as he moved past everyone not even flinching from the feel of Astra’s dark matter power.“How can you be, okay?” Amina could not help but ask, a sheen of sweat covering

  • Mayor Akiko Zhang

    Arome chuckled. The plot thicken I guess, seems the big boss heard I paid her brother a visit. Arome smiled underneath his helm, as it stands, he no longer needed any proof that the police captain, and his wife the mayor of San-Franmikyo had significant connections with Severance. But still Arome doubted Akiko Zhang was here to confess her sins. In fact, considering the way she was glaring at him, she wanted nothing more than to put a bullet through his head.“Where is my brother? What have you done with him?” she asked, her tone showing that she wanted nothing more than the answers she required.“The old man got away? Good for him. It doesn’t matter how good it looked or was furnished; a prison is still a prison. And I don’t think it’s fair you would lock the old man up when all he did was raise your psychotic sword wielding illegitimate child!” the atmosphere in the room went cold as Akiko’s eyes widened in shock. If they widened any wider, Arome was sure her eyes would pop out of
