Whatever it was Luna was going to do, or was it Astra was going to do, she never got a chance to do so. Alonso took the initiative as he clapped his hands, eldritch black chains appeared out of the robes that he was wearing, rushing forwards to wrap around the young woman. At first, it did not seem as if it was doing anything until she started screaming out in pain. Her voice was dissonant, two in one echoing out into infinity. Arome wanted to move, but Alonso turned in his direction and waved his arms, the same black chains rushing towards him.

Arome had no intention of being bound, based on what he had seen of Alonso, and his interactions with Rowan. Getting captured by this man was a worse fate than death. So he opened fire, jumping to the side as he rolled out of the way, only for a couple of those chains to stab into the ground with a fury. Tiles were blasted apart, debris scattering as Arome focused and opened fire, bullets flying with rage as Rowan joined in.

Arome had lost his

    Arome tried to get up, but the world seemed to be turning over on itself as he crashed down to the ground, barely able to gather his equilibrium. He felt arms wrap around his chest, for a second he almost lashed out, until he realized it was the teenage boy… Marisa’s son. He had no idea who the boy was, and his helmet seemed to have been knocked offline. Whatever that explosion of energy was, it was extremely dangerous and powerful. Arome let the boy drag him backwards, as the world slowly came back into focus.“Are you okay? Talk to me mister?”Arome could hear, but that did not mean he was conscious enough to speak now. He struggled to his feet one more time. This time his body seemed willing to listen to his commands. With a little bit of help from the boy, Arome was back up on his feet. His sister was there too, and the entire residence looked like a bomb had gone off. He moved his eyes quickly, noticing Rowan and the Twins...twin? Getting up, but Alonso was nowhere to be found. W

    Arome did not want to help anyone anymore. Especially not when the person asks him in such a way. He got back up to his feet, feeling the weakness still hanging on to him. Suddenly, Rowan was there with a cup of hot chocolate. Arome looked up at the man, who gave him a little nod.“There’s always a cost to he paid for power, I figure since this resurrection took longer, your mind, and spirit must be severely exhausted. I would advise you to avoid dying for the next few days, anymore, and you risk a chance of not being able to come back. No power is for free.” Arome nodded his thanks as he took the cup from Rowan, but not before glaring at the twin in front of him. He moved his head to the side where the teenage girl was sitting down with her head in her hands. He idly sipped the cup of hot chocolate when he turned once more to look for the teenage boy. But when he couldn’t find him, the last moments of his last death came to him, as he rose up to his feet. However, he had moved so qui

  • Superhero Manager System    The Offer

    “Well?”Arome raised an eyebrow at how impatient she was. It seems his stats would not be helping him in this conversation at all. Perhaps it would have been a lot easier with the other sister… Luna, was it? This rude arrogant bitch in front of him, should be Astra and the one with Dark Matter Manipulation. Normally, he’d have expected her power to be Anti-Matter manipulation, but dark matter was not that far from antimatter. Either way, her powers were even more worrying than the other twin. If a negotiation tactic didn’t work with her, then he’d deal with her straight.“Your mother already promised me a lot just to come and get you guys. And I’ve died so many times I’ve lost count, so I’m going to need something that can and should at least secure a future for me in case your mother decides to screw me over.” Astra narrowed her eyes, but at the very least the animosity in her eyes reduced a bit, it seems she preferred it when people were straight forward with her.“You will sign a l

  • Superhero Manager System    The Oath

    Arome was still reeling from the contents of the Twins blood oath. He turned to look at Rowan, who had an equally shocked look on his face, and a little bit of a blush too. Just to spite their mother, Luna and Astra had given an oath that was pretty much a slave contract/declaration of love. It was confusing, but she was simply supposed to just say she would be his client for the entirety of her superhero career. He was not so heartless as to make her sign her entire life away to him. It had been a test on his part to see just how far she could go and how far he could push her.The Twins were powerful, they were S-rank in power. And even though they were unrefined and not trained. That can be handled quickly. He knew he had a pair of women with the potential to unseat his cousin as the most famous hero of the younger generation. If he could not have his throne, then he would deny his cousin the one thing the bastard cared about more than anything else in the world. His ego and his fam

  • Superhero Manager System    Gains!

    Arome followed behind Luna as she moved to a different section of the residential area. It seemed to be her bedroom, and while this was not the first time he had been in a girl’s bedroom, this time he felt particularly intrusive. So he kept to himself and tried to look around too much. But at the end he couldn’t help himself, everything in here or if there was anything at all was Spartan. A single bed, a metal desk and chair, a canvass with a half-finished painting. A simple closet and a fridge close to the bed, and that was it.The walls were gray and absent any paintings or decoration. It was as if Luna and Astra lived her as prisoners. There was no sign to show the warmth of a home or having your personal space, it was just the half finished painting that seemed so out of place within the room, and mostly because of how vibrant it looked. She pulled open her closet and grabbed a towel and what seemed to be a suit that had been hung at the back. She turned to him.“Make yourself at

It draws from the presence and charm start./ Subskill: Commanding Presence: As a leader, a firm tone, and Imposing aura is required. This is a passive skill granting a permanent but slight boost to the presence stat. It also makes your followers more likely to follow your orders.]It was becoming a theme with the system by this point. From what it could see, it was grooming him to be a sort of public figure. Which frankly speaking is what a manager is. They were the liaisons between their heroes and the rest of the world and were usually just as famous as their heroes. All of these skills about making his presence more felt. An image was being built, and for a manager that was the most important. You were usually the first perception of the world had of your hero, and it was important what sort of image your projected. It was also how you could negotiate deals on their behalf,

  • Superhero Manager System    Suited Up

    “Are you ready to leave?” Arome was pulled out of the depths of his thoughts by Luna. She was dressed in one piece body suit. It hugged her curves and accented her body at a level he had never thought possible. The suit was white with gold highlights, but had a cape that flowed out of her shoulders and had a hood attached to it too. She had on boots that seemed to not only be steel toes but we’re reinforced and augmented with metal fillings in different parts of it. It made her boots a sturdy piece of weaponry, and considering Luna’s power was the ability to manipulate matter, this was saying something. Her boots could be anything she willed them to become.Arome noticed that she held in her hands a mask similar to his helmet. But this was just a full-face mask. Unlike the rest of her get up, her mask was actually a pitch black with dots on it that made it seemed as if you were looking at eyes in the night sky. But still his eyes kept roaming down to her body, and he’d rather not be

  • Superhero Manager System    Ceberus And His Test

    Arome might have been complaining, but he still jumped regardless. And not a moment too soon as the two clones of Ceberus had reached him at that exact moment. But it was obvious these hounds were not willing to let him go. The Ceberus clones jumped after him, with one of them keeping from railing to railing in order to keeping. It’s balance. The other just threw caution out of the wind and angled it’s massive body as it chased Arome down multiple floors. The Mad Lion in the other hand was extremely accommodating, he welcomed Ceberus attack, all he had on his mind right now was a bit of payback after the brutal death he had experienced at the jaws of this demon. He pulled his sword out and twisted his body as he used Heavy Blow. The sword developed a shimmering blue haze as it sliced through the middle head of the Ceberus, the demon’s own Inertia carrying its towards as the sword sliced it in half, like a knife through butter. Even as he fell, Arome was showered with gore, the bloo

  • 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
