[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
The lean man looked at me with a shocked expression, he dropped the dagger, turned around and ran off down the alley.I looked at my hands, wow, I've got the strength of a raging bull. I can't explain it, but when I acted on my instinct and concentrated hard, I seem to have gained more strength and did something a normal person couldn't do.“You have my thanks, tell me, what shall I call you?”I looked at her and thought about it.“You can call me Mackintosh.” I told her my name.She was surprised“That's not a Roman name, I shall call you Maximus.”I was annoyed, why would she change my name? And who gave her the right to do so.“Hey lady, my name is Mackintosh and not Maximus.”She merely smiled“Stay calm stranger, come, I shall take you home and get a stable for your horse.”I was already pissed but I had no choice but to follow her.She casually walked towards the end of the alley which seemed to lead to another street.“You came to Rome at the wrong time stranger, the Persians a
