The moment Arome stepped out into the stairwell, alarms blared out within his helmet. He quickly ducked down under the wild punch that was thrown over his head as the door banged shut behind him, pneumatic hisses filling the air as the sounds of heavy clicks and bolts sliding into place were heard. He angled the rifle in his hand and squeezed the trigger, two quick bursts that pelted off a glowing blue shield that covered the body of his new assailant.

A knee came flying to his face, but he raised the butt of the rifle, smashing it down on the knee before he got up and took a couple of steps backwards. Five cultists, the lead was a super with shield or barrier abilities. But it wasn’t just him that gave off a feeling of danger. One of them had green gas hovering around his body, another was a foot in the air, a small distortion around their body, almost as if they were controlling gravity. The remaining two were at the back, one with a gun and the other with a steel bat in his hands.

    “What the fuck just happened? Who’s this guy? He killed Nina! He killed my sister!” the guy with an energy barrier knelt beside the still warm corpse of the Telepath. His distress and fear could be seen, but much more than that was the grief he was feeling. He pulled back the hood of his cultist’s robes, tears falling down his eyes as his long brown hair swayed behind him.“Tarak had told us this guy was dangerous…we should have been more careful considering the state we had found him.”“Indeed, you should have.” Arome responded to the Green Mist super, his voice cutting into their conversation as they turned to look at him in shock. Three shots, his new helmet augmenting his ability with his firearms on a whole other level. The green mist super crumpled to the ground besides the recently Deceased Nina, equal bullet holes in his eye and forehead. Arome grinned from within the confines of the helmet.He was already quite a shot, but with the augmentation and tracking abilities the helm

    Rowan attacked first, firing off a stream of bullets that refused to travel in a straight line. There was a reason why he was called Gunsoul. Arome ducked to the side, but even with how fast he moved he could still feel close to having a dozen bullets impacting the side of his head. The helmet held up, but the same could not be said for his body.His suit was impact resistant, not fully bulletproof, as there was not enough time to get these ready. So getting shot still hurts like hell, even more so when you have to take on this many bullets. He held his ground though as the metal guy bull rushed Arome, spearing him and carrying him backwards, towards the same stairs that just broke his back. Arome cocked his arms back, the angle was terrible, and he would not be able to hit with his full force, which was why just before he could be slammed on the ground and his back broken again. He let go of his rifle and pulled his arms as wide as they could go, before bringing them together as quic

  • Superhero Manager System    Rowan Gunsoul I

    Rowan Gunsoul was a careful man, it was no mistake that he had fallen into the hands of these cultists. He was not that foolish, not when he had spent the last seven years under their control, pushed and driven to do things that had turned all the righteous burning passion in his heart, to a cold and apathetic drive for vengeance and death.His predecessor… This manager with such a weird name. It wouldn’t be too hard to notice that this individual was probably from the Nubian continent. He had the accent and that tilting arrogance and grace that was synonymous with powerful men from the continent. The exposed parts of his body were enough to also confirm where this Arome was from. But that was just it, an enigma that showed up out of nowhere to give him a little bit of hope.“If you survive… I’ll set you free.”That word kept ringing in his ears like a bell. This man knew exactly who he was and how dangerous he was with a gun. He had even mentioned it, but he still gave a threat. He s

  • Superhero Manager System    Rowan Gunsoul II

    Rowan Gunsoul was no longer holding back. Arome could tell when the first two bullets smashed into his knee caps. Even with the protection his new suit provided, it was still enough to bring him crashing down to his knees. But the Mad Lion would not be grounded, not when such a prize was in front of him. He jumped to the side, running on all fours like a real life Lion, his erratic movements making it a little difficult for Rowan Gunsoul to aim properly. Even more so was the fact that Arome could move fast enough to confuse the immortal gunslinger.A bullet pinged off the side of his helmet as Arome leaped, his movements like a lion pouncing on its prey. Rowan Gunsoul fired off a barrage of shots, they left trails of fire and shadow in the air as they smashed into Arome’s chest, blasting him backwards until his back impacted the wall. However, before he could hit the wall, the mane behind his head spread out, stretching out to fill the space as it cushioned the impact, letting Arome p

    Arome rushed towards the still healing Rowan. He got on top of his body as he quickly took his hunting knife, pulling one of his gloves to the side. He gritted his teeth as he started carving a pentagram into his palm. Even if he was in a hurry, he had to be careful not to mess the sigil up. He completed it in record time, but before he could make any more moves, Rowan Gunsoul opened his eyes wide. It took the man only a second to recognize Arome sitting on his chest and hanging over him. His guns were in his hands and their barrels pointed at Arome’s side. He only had a fraction of a second to acknowledge what was about to happen, before the shots started ringing out.He smashed his head towards him again, the shocked looks on Rowan’s face almost made all the bullets that had been deposited into his kidneys worth it. But this time the hit was not enough to kill him or knock him out. But it bought Arome just enough time to place his bloodied palm around Rowan’s neck where the sigil wa

  • Superhero Manager System    The Immortal Gunslinger

    Tarak barely took fives steps before a bullet took him at the back of his knee. He crashed to the ground, undergoing his demonic transformation as he got up and started running down the stairs. Arome scowled, without a doubt this bloody coward of a demon was beginning to make Arome extremely irritated. He was the one that had sent Rowan and his former team after Azrael in the first place. Letting him get away would be a mistake, he seemed like the kind of person that was a pest and would keep disturbing you no matter what.But the bullet did nothing more than slow him down for a few seconds. But there was no way to chase after him as the rest of the cultists decided this was the best time to attack. Rowan and Arome exchanged a simple glance, that was all the acknowledgment both men needed as they dove right into the fray. Rowan was like a bolt of lightning, his guns going off, before Arome could even realize that he had started attacking. Three bodies dropped, as another cultist with

    “Is that it?” Rowan asked to which Arome shrugged.“I don't know, should i have said anything else?” Arome asked, with a wide grin on his face. Rowan shook his head as he walked towards Arome. He stretched out his hand, asking for Arome’s hunting knife. The prince raised an eyebrow, but still handed the weapon over as Rowan turned it on himself, slashing through his palm, before suddenly clasping forearms with Arome.“Seven years I have been bound by the Blights. Seven years of staining my hands with the blood of the innocent. You broke that cycle and set me free, so I will make you a blood oath. In you I feel a powerful spark of magic, so I swear on my own spark too. One hundred and seventy-seven years will I serve and protect you. Your bloodline will see no harm under my watch, and neither will your legacies. But for eternity, if you will have me...I will be your friend, until there's not a light in my eyes or breath in my bones.”A seating flare of light shone in-between their clap

  • Superhero Manager System    300th Floor

    Arome stepped into past the door, almost having to hold himself back from gagging at the intense stench of Sulphur in the air. He exchanged a quick glance with Rowan, a worried yet familiar look passing between them. Demons, were present on this floor, and regardless of how strong both men were, when demons are put into an equation, things tend to get a little dicey.Arome noticed almost immediately that the door they just walked through, was a back entrance. Obviously you’d need an elevator to access this floor, so they came up into a hallway. Lush red carpet stretched out across it, with paintings and pictures handing on both sides of the wall. There were furniture and décors in ruins, vases that looked like they cost a fortune were shattered to pieces and parts of the carpet was gouged and ripped, or burnt black in other areas.Arome switched the ammo clip on his rifle, Rowan had availed himself to another rifle that he had looted from one of the dead Cultists. Arome held out an ex

  • 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
