Clark didn’t go back to his mansion immediately after leaving the bar. He instead took a cut and went to a boisterous corner of the city; his destination was precisely the company- Trailblazers.
This was a place that he loved visiting when he was younger, he also brought Benny and Leo here when they were spending the week-long vacation given to them by the Python military division.
He knew how unstable he currently was, he wanted to come here and see if the entertainment scene here could enliven his mood.
Entering, he was surprised as the place was filled up. He quickly understood what was happening; just like him, some people also wanted to forget the trauma of the war and they sought help here also.
After finding a chair to sit on, he tried to open up his mind.
It did not take long before the show started. This time, it was for an hour as highlights of legendary footballers, and soldiers were shown to him.
When the time elapsed, he w
Northern Sparta, headquarters of the Spartan army. After days of preparation and planning, today was the burial day for all the heroic Spartan soldiers that died in the just concluded main invasion war. Due to the war, the headquarters of the Spartan army suffered a lot of damage but as time went it was already almost reconstructed. As it was standing at the same level with the Presidential Villa as the symbols of honor of the Spartan republic, it was a given that priority would be given to it after the recovery measures started. Almost all the soldiers of the Spartan army seemed to have been gathered in the enormous military cemetery built inside the city-like territory of the army’s headquarters. Outside the walls of the cemetery were gathered a large group of soldiers, their numbers were so much that they seemed like locusts flocking the skies. As all of them were dressed in black both men and women, they formed a uniform table form
At a certain deserted part of the continent, Antarctica.This was one of the numerous ruins left from the great battle of supremacy decades ago that was not restored to its previous state.Dilapidated buildings filled the surrounding, evident of the fact that this place was once a city. Some of the buildings were already completely submerged by the snow, only the taller ones could still faintly be seen.Over the years, the wear and tear of age already affected them and they now seemed like a fragile wood that would break with just a slight bend.Across the all-encompassing world of ice and snow that submerged this city, depressions could be seen on various parts which were a testament to the great war that wreaked havoc here decades ago.The chilly wind in the atmosphere blew at times gently, while at other times roughly, making sure that the temperature in this region was super cold 24/7.Structures like mini-mountains covered in snow-fille
“Master, please I want to tag along”. Albert pleaded again for the umpteenth time since he got the news that his master was about to go on another dangerous mission. Whenever he remembered Clark’s stories about his adventures in the Everest, he always felt a yearning in his heart to experience the same. He wanted to fight and kill exobeasts, he wanted to experience such thrilling encounters. Unfortunately, his master kept on refusing adamantly to take him along. “Master, please…” “Nah, the Sahara is too dangerous for a soldier like you”. Hearing that sentence that always left his head billowing with smoke again, Albert shifted angrily, pouted his lips before forcefully sitting down. Seeing his expression, Clark laughed. “Do you know how funny you look with that expression? You’re a big man you know, stop being so childish”. “Instead of whining, use this period to train hard and become a 3rd rank high-grade soldier befor
[Nirmirian Airline support reporting!] [Runway clear for landing!] [Airplane 224 Clear for landing!] Whoosh! A loud sound of depressurizing air reverberated in the large airport as the airplane dived down, followed by a screeching sound as its wheels finally made contact with the long runway. It swiftly moved forward a few meters through the runway using the momentum of the dive until it slowly started reducing speed. A minute later, it finally slowed to a controllable speed as the expert pilot carefully steered it towards the airplane landing lot. Swoosh! A few minutes later, the sound of depressurizing air reverberated again as the door of the airplane was opened for the passengers to come down. Clark was among the passengers who came down. He was dressed in black trousers and a light t-shirt. With his right hand in his pocket, a luxury pair of gold glasses covering his eyes, a gold wristwatch on his h
Hearing what this stranger said, the 2 guards in casual clothes turned to scrutinize him without much expression on their faces.They recognized that he was a stranger at a glance, people who lived so close to the dangerous Sahara were different from those in other parts of the world in different ways due to the extreme environment.{Gold glasses, a gold chain, and a gold wristwatch}- Luxuriously dressed like a terrorist…, {An expression of anticipation and slight fear}- the curiosity universal of all tourists.{No weapon protrusions in his body, a flat bag with no heavy weapons either}- A naïve tourist looking for some thriller adventure.{A burly physique but a naïve face}- A lewd tourist training in gyms to get a good physique to attract beautiful girls.Check! They gave a thump up in their minds.As they observed him, Clark reciprocated. {The special mechanical hijab}- Dressed like those who frequent the Sahara…,
The sun peaked through the veils of the curtains, illuminating the room as Clark yawned before waking up to a new day.After staying 2 days in the Sand Dune expedition company, the number of tourists in this batch finally reached 20 and they were ready to go.For the past 2 days, Clark didn’t just stay in the company as that would have aroused suspicion and he was also not so boring. He went out and used this time to check out the different sights in the country.He visited some interesting places at this time but none of them really registered an unforgettable memory in his head.After being to countries like the Dakran republic and the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance, any other thing that he saw in countries like this only seemed like already used substandard goods.As soon as the quota for an expedition team was completed, the lady who attended to him sent a message to inform him about it.As he stayed in the same compa
[Main Tourist Destination: The Tip of Supremacy.] After the great battle of supremacy, among the numerous battle ruins left behind after everything settled down, the tip of supremacy was the most popular and was the location most tourists yearned to visit the most. Like all other tourists, Clark’s group of 20’s destination was also this summit. After the supremacy battle where some locations on earth started mutating, turning them into earth special locations, some of the ruins left after the great war were also affected by this mutation. According to the information that Clark got before coming, the location of the tip of supremacy was a main battlefield in the great war. During one of these battles, 5 pyramidal war fortresses sturdier than most warships of this era duked it out in a battle to the death. In the battle, 3 of the pyramidal war fortresses were destroyed completely but 2 survived and became ruins after all their inhabitan
Crii…!!!A loud sound that seemed like the croaking of a frog and the creaking of a cricket at the same time reverberated from the distance, spreading shock through the fragile hearts of the tourists.The galloping sound in the distance intensified as soon as Mr. Sandstorm identified the enemy. Clark already researched a bit and knew this creature, so a lot of thoughts rapidly went through his mind.In this part of the Sahara Desert, Scavenger rats were part of the set of monsters that could be more frequently seen or were more or less the locals of this part of the desert.Individually, they were not as strong as the weakest exobeasts but their strength was in their number. They never moved alone, they lived and moved in large hordes.The largest ever recorded horde of Scavenger rats recorded that more than 200,000 of the mutated rats swept across the desert like a plague.For the largest recorded disaster of Scavenger rats, the muta
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. 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. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. 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
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. 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. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
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.<
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
