Clark feebly climbed out of his nutrition cabin, as Mark came forward to support him. The mental exertion was still affecting him, his hands shook unsteadily.

Despite 10 minutes already being gone, the stadium was still extremely noisy from the excited cheers of the spectators.

They kept on chanting World dominator’s name excitedly, as he already established himself as a gladiator legend in the Seafarers alliance’s arena.

After noticing that all the gladiators were out of their cabins, a replay of the final moments of the battle was finally displayed to both the spectators and the gladiators.

The stadium quieted down, as sound dampeners were activated to tame the noise. Despite his current feeble appearance, Clark was still able to capture what was being shown on the display.

He clenched his fists as he saw himself being impaled on the chest by his opponent’s sword. His expression kept on fluctuating, as Mark slowly patted him on his back.

    Sonia slowly brushed her dark hair, as it tumbled in a cascade down her back. She looked at her reflection from the mirror, prompting a soft smile to slowly outline her face. Her fair skin, in conjunction with the dark suit that she wore painted a very beautiful sight. With her smooth but finely chiseled face, she looked just like the models who appeared in magazines in the 21st century. She looked more mature and refined compared to a few years ago, she now had the womanly vibe. The only thing lacking in the picture reflecting from the mirror was a man to wrap her in a hug. On thinking of this, her smile dampened a bit as it quickly turned strained. It was already about 3 years since she got separated from Clark. Thinking of how he was probably suffering from unimaginable things alone in the sea, made her cry in fear for his safety at times. She was already 21 this year. Thinking of the fact that a man she met for just a few months completely

    Sonia did not have much to arrange, she just came back to get some of the essential things that she could not leave behind. As she arranged, her mind could not help but drift again to a frail-looking imagination of her mom. At this age where medical technology already advanced so enormously, her being called for indicated how serious her mom’s situation was. There was no way it was a normal illness, which only made her more anxious. “What is so serious that I had to be called for?” She questioned herself again doubtfully. It didn’t take too long before she was finally ready, as she turned around to go. She changed from her old suit into a new suit that she got recently, to present herself in a fresh outlook. Not long later, she finally arrived back at the parade ground. She was not surprised to still see the summoned horde of soldiers all standing at their positions in attention. There was no way these guys would leave their positions until or

    The large fleet of vehicles slowly coming into the compound surprised the now freed gladiators, but they suppressed their curiosity and went forward to meet the General. “Good evening, general”. They all greeted respectfully. “Haha, that’s my soldiers”. The General responded with a loud laugh that was unusual for someone of his status, as he went forward to pat them on the shoulders. “Congrats, you did not disappoint my expectations. Though you guys failed to take the 1st place, taking the 3rd place spot is already commendable”. “My Captain already told you guys some time ago that we would not shy in terms of rewards if you win the tournament of your ranks, we intend to keep our word”. “You taking 3rd place can be seen as you winning to us, so today, I’ll present to you the awards that we prepared for you”. The Roman Captain finally came forward and placed an exotic metal box before his General. He opened the box quickly, as a click so

    The days moved forward just like chess pieces that were being randomly shifted by a chess player. After months of preparation battles, the date for the finals of the individual tournament was finally scheduled. After the end of the team tournament, the gladiators in the teams who won were already eligible to take their awards. Despite this, they don’t get it immediately as the Seafarers alliance extends the award ceremony to the week after the end of the individual battle finals. Some gladiators won in the team tournament with their teams, but they died unfortunately in the individual tournament. The alliance was not ready to give awards to ghosts, even with their near-infinite wealth. So, the award ceremony commences only after the whole gladiator tournament ends. … Bam!! Clark’s spear stabbed forward in quick succession, as his opponent hastily raised his spear to parry the strike. His hand blurred, as the stab was quickly converted

    Today is the d-day, the day that will determine who the strongest gladiator from this tournament was. Today is the day that will justify all the bloodshed and deaths throughout the past year, in the gladiator arena. Clark entered the gladiator armory in a solemn mood, as he went forward to where the weapons were kept. On seeing the empty, grey-colored cold chamber, he could not help but feel a sense of emptiness. For weeks now, he had been training to get to the required level to win this battle. He did not know why he was anticipating it, but he felt that he would benefit a lot if he emerged as the winner of this battle. Though his thoughts were numerous, they quickly cleared up as he advanced to the spear section of the armory. He stood before the large row of spears, before falling into a daze. Spears spread for as far as his eyes could see. From short spears to long spears, to broad, to thin spears, every type of spear was available. His h

    The huge energy shield covering the arena slowly opened up, as the 2 fighting gladiators entered without hesitation. World dominator slowly took off his helmet, as he faced his opponent with a curious smile on his face. Unlike his opponent’s solemn expression, his was the complete opposite, he had a calm look on his face. “Magician, you surprised me yet again. I don’t know who gave you the guts to come to fight me with such impunity, but I can promise you that you’ll regret it”. He slowly said with a smile. Clark didn’t reply, as his blood was already feeling hot for this battle. He had no time nor luxury to reply to foolish questions. He didn’t come here to discuss, at least he didn’t have that luxury like his opponent. He had an uphill and almost impossible target to overcome, he was ready to put his all. “Cut the crap, you’ll soon know who gave me the guts to come. Bring it on”. He said with a ferocious grin as he picked up speed, rapidly a

    As the atmosphere grew tenser, gulps left throats unconsciously, and speculations rose higher, the gladiators finally moved. Clark moved first. As soon as he gathered some strength, he used his spear as a support to lift himself from his opponent’s sword. Spurt!! He closed his eyes while gritting his teeth in pain. More blood flowed out of him, as the sword was roughly yanked out of him. His opponent also flinched in pain, as the spear stirred in his abdomen. Thud!! He dropped down to the ground, as he quickly summoned more strength to roll further away from his opponent. He already grew accustomed to pain after so many years of being a soldier. He could not directly say that he liked pain, but at least he could bear a lot of pain. Despite this being the case, the pain that he was currently feeling drove deeper into his inner self. He felt like his body was no longer his own, he felt like his body was just a cage where he was receiving

    As usual, medical practitioners on white quickly rushed into the arena with a floating stretcher. They brought cleaning bots with them this time, as the blood and gore were quickly sucked and cleaned out of the arena. Clark’s unconscious body was carefully placed on the stretcher, as it directly floated back to the medical bay. As the medical practitioners worked, the commentator finally started his ending speech with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Seafarers, we now finally have a winner for this gladiator tournament. After these countless ups and downs, we finally arrived at our destination”. “The winner of the gladiator tournament this time is the Stranded dragon, he proved his strength today in this arena”. “I won’t waste your time much, I just want to inform you that according to the organizers; if everything goes according to plan, the award-giving ceremony will be held in a week”. “Let’s all come back for this final event, to

After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point.

Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin

It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them.

    Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

    Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa

    While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

    CHAPTER 462: WHERE IS THE PISTOL?

    The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
