[Kera Kingdom. Few months ago]The silence lasted for a full minute before Maximus' made his decision. He was dressed in purple and gold robe with a golden flower crown on his head. He slowly stood up from the throne, took of the golden crown and placed it on the throne, then turned around to face Maximus who was still in his draconian form.“Every father desires for his son to surpass him, every King desires for his heir to be more powerful and unyielding than even himself. Today you have made me proud, you have transformed from a greenhorn to a powerhouse in less than two months, I can not ask for a better successor than you my son. I am sorry for all the pain you have passed through.” Maximus' father said in a gentle and soothing voice that made Maximus' heart falter for a bit, he held back the tears that threatened to spill forth.“All I ever wanted was for you to treat me as your son and be proud of me.” Maximus said and then hardened his heart once more.“It is too late for apol
Black Heart stood on the rooftop, his eyes fixed on the city below. He knew that Kenju was still out there, plotting his next move. He needed someone with the skills and power to track him down.He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Erik, my son. I need your help."The voice on the other end was deep and menacing. "Father, what's the mission?""Kenju, the man who escaped us earlier. I need you to track him down and bring him to me."Erik's laughter was cold and mirthless. "I'm on it, Father. But I'll need something in return."Black Heart smiled, knowing his son's thirst for power. "The more you kill, the stronger you'll become. And I'll make sure you're rewarded."Erik's voice was eager. "I'll leave now. And Father?""Yes?""Tell me about this Kenju. What makes him so special?"Black Heart's eyes narrowed. "He's a powerful foe, Erik. But with your skills and my powers, I know we can take him down."The line went dead, and Black Heart knew that Erik was on his way. He gazed ou
[Triton City. Present Day]Luca crouched beside his crew, his eyes fixed on the bank's security cameras. "Alright, let's move in. Vinnie, take out the cameras. Sal, get the vault open. I'll handle the alarms."Vinnie nodded and pulled out a small device, aiming it at the cameras. "Cameras are down."Sal cracked his knuckles. "Vault's open. Let's get the loot!"Luca disabled the security system, his fingers flying across the keypad. "Alarms are off. Move, move, move!"The team burst into the bank, their footsteps echoing off the marble floor. Luca swiftly cleared the counters, stuffing cash into a duffel bag. Vinnie and Sal worked in tandem, loading valuables into another bag.Just as they were about to leave, sirens wailed outside. "Police! Drop your weapons and come out with your hands up!" an officer shouted through a megaphone.Luca's heart raced as the team exchanged panicked glances. Marco, their leader, made a split-second decision. "Leave Luca, he's the newest, they won't suspe
Luca's eyes widened as the wolf transformed into a man. Maximus Perch, the Demon Wolf, stood before him, his muscular physique imposing. Despite his nakedness, he exuded a confident air, unfazed by his state of undress."Greetings, Luca," Maximus said, his deep voice commanding. "I am the alpha of the Wardogs pack. And you, human, are in our debt."Luca's mind raced, still reeling from the sudden transformation. "W-what do you mean?"Maximus smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You were destined for a fate worse than death. But I intervened. You owe me, Luca."Luca swallowed hard, his heart pounding. "I-I don't understand."Maximus took a step closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I can offer you a gift, Luca. A chance to become one of us. A werewolf. Join my pack, and you'll have the power to exact your revenge on those who wronged you."Luca's thoughts raced, his desire for revenge against Marco and the mafia burning bright. He had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Luca's first day as a security guard at Oceania Corporation was off to a mundane start. He had spent the morning patrolling the premises, familiarizing himself with the layout, and introducing himself to the staff. But just as he was starting to feel like it was going to be a slow day, a sleek Lamborghini Aventador pulled up in front of the building.Luca's eyes widened as a stunning young woman stepped out of the car. Sophia Romulus, the daughter of Antonio Romulus, the owner of Oceania Corporation, and the leader of the Demigods mafia group, was even more beautiful than Luca had imagined. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.As Sophia stepped out of her car, another luxury sports car pulled up beside her. A young man, Angelo, emerged from the car, his eyes fixed intently on Sophia. Luca noticed the way Angelo's gaze lingered on Sophia, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease."Good mornin
"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The Yakuza's Ryu
It is believed since ancient times that only King Midas had the power to create a miracle as whatever he touches turns to gold... A foolish misconception, just as Caesar Marcus Augustus Antoninus Aurelius once said: “The Creator has blest us each with heaven defying talent, some greater than others, but great nonetheless, all we have to do is simply unlock the full potential of these talents and we can create untold miracles..”Yet in an sixty years in the future, humans evolved and began to awaken their innate ability, a human could only awaken just one ability, but it wasn't so for everyone as not everyone could awaken their innate ability. Those who awakened were given great status while those who had no affinity with elements were regarded as the scum of the earth. * * * *“You seek redemption, I seek that which I crave the most: a sense of belonging. So tell me something oh wise one, which of us is the selfless one?” I said with a smirk on my face. Mangled
The grand hall was abuzz with students as they carried trays and lines up to be served their lunch. The silver doors opened up and the noisy hall quietened immediately, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.“That's the infamous talentless prince.” someone whispered.“A bastard prince. his whore of a mother was a maid, luckily she died in an accident before her common blood could taint the castle anymore than she already had when she gave birth to that useless son of hers.” another chipped in.“shh! He might hear you.” the first boy whispered, it wasn't that he was scared of the so-called talentless prince, no, he simply sought to avoid trouble.“I don't care. What can a common bastard with no talent do to a nobleman like me? I am already at the peak of rei-rank.” the second boy said as he watched the youth in question stroll towards the vending machine with an expressionless face. He was tall, lanky, a plain face and black curly hair, his eyes seemed to be devoid of life. At one glance
