[ALTERNATE EARTH]The girls seemed to have been frightened to silliness as even Miss Diamond Johnson took several steps back till her back touched the rough wall.«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»«divinity +1»Huh? Another eight divinity tokens? Is it so easy to raise divinity? Or perhaps the girls now see me as a real god. I didn't dwell on it, I stared intently at two of the traitors beside the platoon commander, two seconds later their heads exploded, their headless bodies slumped on the cold floor while blood and mucus splattered on the floor and on the walls behind them.«Heat vision successfully used»The girls screamed again and two girls amongst them fainted while the others were either vomiting or crying to be sent home. Again I didn't dwell on it nor adhered to their pleas as they were the one who requested for this.I focused on the platoon commander, the guard behind him was already shivering and sweating buc
[ALTERNATE EARTH]We were all currently seated in the meeting hall for briefing. I had told them of how the fifth platoon commander had raped the prisoners and how I punished the traitors. Erik then walked in with a file, he was late but from the smile on his face I guess it was worth it.“Father, Alhaji has been killed, we had three casualties on our side. I have good news as I have located the real target, the male Diamond, he goes by the name; MacArthur, he is in city R.”“Boss, just give the order, Starlet and I will be able to retrieve the target without any hitch ups. No man can resist my charms." Elixir said as she fluttered her eyelashes seductively.“Father hasn't and will never fall for your seduction Elixir, I suggest you mind your words when you say "No man".”“We really shouldn't be fighting, and I agree with Elixir, the both of us can actually bring in the worm with no problems whatsoever.”I sat there listening to the KWE elite members banter with each other. My mind wa
Maximus' strength had shocked the entire Triton City and lots of rumors began circulating amongst the common folks as most claimed that Maximus' powers came from gold which was why even his lightening ability was gold in color, others said he was blessed deity of fortune which was why he never lacked treasures and although gold was scarce in Triton City but Maximus used gold to produce his suits, even the patriarch of several family clans now showed respect towards Maximus. One must understand that Master-rank and grandmaster-rank individuals were countless in Triton City, but saint rank were very few, in fact only the patriarch of a few family clans were of saint rank, and only Lucius Von Blake who was currently the patriarch of the Von Blake family was of sage rank, and now a peak saint rank powerhouse with uncommon lightening ability comes along, everyone wants to make a connection to this powerhouse.Maximus was currently in the Ozilla Family Villa reading a letter which was deliv
[ALTERNATE EARTH]“Father! You have returned.” Erik said as soon as he saw me entering the KWE mansion. The KWE mansion is a five storey building with reinforced steel imbedded in it, with no less than a hundred rooms and a hall for training, another hall for meeting while the largest hall is used as the armory.“Yes son. Have the media caught on yet? Is that why you are here.” I asked knowing what I did in city R would have been made public by now.“Yes Father. They are tagging it as the most brutal murder in history.” He said as he opened a white file he's been holding.“Kelvin Nguyen is next on the list. I have all there is to know about him. It's all compiled in this file.” His face remained expressionless and void of all emotion, even when he came to welcome me he didn't show any emotion whatsoever. I felt a pang in my heart. The sweet dreamy boy has changed into a man clouded by pain and sadness of a broken family. Erik has never smile nor laughed since the crashed wedding, perh
[ALTERNATE EARTH]Inside the school covered in pitch black darkness. The sound of gunshots and screams could be heard. I was sitting on a wooden chair watching the battle in front of me with glee. Kelvin Nguyen was doing his best as he fought against twelve medieval soldiers made of obsidian darkness. Standing behind me were soldiers of similar nature.Kelvin fired more shots as he dodged a sword that would have cleaved him in two. His bullets were absorbed by the black armor of the shadow soldiers. While the shadow soldiers looked unharmed, the same could not be said for Kelvin as his body was now full of ugly laceration and bloodied.“ARGHHHHH!” His scream echoed in the darkness as his right arm fell to the floor. The pain from his severed arm caused him to lose focus, thereby bringing him into a world full of pain as his left arm, right foot and left foot all came clearly apart, severed by the other shadow soldiers.I stood up from the chair and walked towards the limbless man who

Esther was also in deep thoughts as she too had to plan on how to deliver the orders the emperor placed on them. M
*2008*Rapid footsteps could be heard as a boy ran through an alley with a cake box in his hand. His black hair was dusty and sweat covered his dark skinned face. He seemed so eager to get to his destination and not even the fatigue showing on his face could deter him. He ran as he panted till he got to a small house, he stopped and knocked.“Mom! Dad! I'm back.” his small voice rang out. This boy was (is) me. My name is Mackintosh Perch, from Central Africa and my life-changing journey begins on this day, on my birthday.A joyous day in the family as it's my birthday. I had just clocked the age of nine and my Uncle came all the way from Malaysia (Africa) to celebrate my birthday. I was greatly shocked as well as exhilarated, yet although he came bearing gifts, I still had this tingling sensation that all will soon change. I couldn't explain it but I knew he didn't come all the way from Malaysia just to celebrate my birthday, either he came with good news or it's pure bad news. Well,
He stared at me for a while and I felt he could see through me and even sense my worries.“Don't worry laddie, it's all fate and destiny, you'll be home in no time” he said before turning to one of the crew member.“Lift Anchor!”“Aye Aye lord Lucius.”And that's how my journey started.Just then the food was brought. When the man gently kept the tray in front of me, Lucius opened the lids and took the initiative to explain.“Here's a fruit salad to help replenish the blood cells and here's a stuffed microwave chicken, I know you don't like pork meat, so I didn't prepare stuffed pig, and here's the chinese noodles or as it's called Chow Ming, it's good for you and it's medicinal, and finally, this is a 1959 cognac wine only fit for Kings. I knew you were coming so I prepared all these for you.”If my earlier reaction was surprise then right now I was shocked and spooked“You knew I was coming?”He smiled“Yes, we've been waiting for you.”It didn't make any sense but the feeling of hu
"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
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
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.
[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
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
[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
[ZIZOU EMPIRE. FIFTY MILES FROM TRITON CITY]While the Zizou Empire's military air-forces arranged aircrafts towards the Gold city. Their aim was to welcome an infamous god of war.Zizou Empire was an empire known for its military strength. Their weapons were always the state of the art, and their training exercises were so excruciating that the death counts during training was always higher than that of an actual war. Only those with nerves of steel and a flair for danger survived these training exercises. This made Zizou Empire the number one Empire in the continent. And the capital of this amazing empire was; Gold city.Far away from Gold city, in the city of Marula which was about fifteen klicks from Gold city, an angry female voice could be heard coming from a small house. A couple lived here and day to day, the wife will always make a few snide remarks at the man.. today seemed a bit different, as it seemed that instead of the casual remarks, she was going all out.“Clyde!

[BEYOND THE PORTAL GATES]Mount Olympus, Home of Greek gods.Archers lined up along the rampart the fortress as they held their weapons firmly in their hands. The armies of the Olympian gods known to all as 'Legion', readied themselves for the carnage about to begin.They were the first line of defence against the Titans of the underworld, so they plan to whittle the Titan's numbers down as much as they could to ensure that Hades would feel the pain of losing his armies.Ares the god of war assured all of them that the fortress will hold strong even if their opponents were abominable creatures created from Hades' blood.Their confidence also stemmed from that fact that the fortress of Olympus has never fallen.“Do not show any mercy! For your enemies will show you none.” Ares' voice boomed across the entire fortress, as he stood on top of a tower.“Kill as many as you can, for the more you kill, the more they will feel how futile their endeavors are.”““YES!!””Ares raised his sword h
“Trashy system! Stupid gods and deities! What then makes you so powerful if you can't even clothe me!” Maximus kept on cursing at the system as he hid behind the trashcan, hoping not to get recognized by anyone, but sometimes Fate has another plan for our young protagonist.“Hey! Isn't that the bastard son of the Gayle family?” a black haired youth with big eyeballs voiced out to his friends, at this the group of four turned towards the direction he was pointing.“Well today seems to be my lucky day. It seems the gods favor me so much that they desire to see that weakling bow at my feet. I, Ronald Orlan, shall grant the gods their desire.” this youth was none other than the scion of the Orlan family, the peak rei-ranker wind ability user who once caused trouble for Maximus at the Silverado Academy.“Look how dirty he is, I bet you ten gold dramus his family threw him out.” Ronald said, then a mischievous smile played on his face.“Jacquel, use your telekinesis to lift him.” Ronald ord
