He stumbled upon a group of nomads riding giant sand worms, their eyes were glinting with curiosity as they watched him approach them.Eren was shocked and willing to know what kind of creature they were, they were unlike anything he had ever seen, their clothes and jewelry shimmering in the desert sun as they whispered to themselves in a language Eren could not understand. They were right there, blocking his way to get through to the place where he hid the treasure.“What kind of creatures are these, I didn't come across them when I came the first time, why now? Or is this part of the dark hand's plan.” He muttered to himself. “Fred, make me understand this nomad's language,” Eren said to Fred as he quickly signed in to the System.He started hearing them immediately. “Who is this and what does he want?” One whispered to the other.“Let's see if he's here to hurt us, then we'll fight.” The other one replied. As Eren cautiously approached the nomads, he noticed through their conve
Eren gasped as he plunged into the darkness below, the wind rushed past him as he fell. His mind flew, trying to make sense of what was happening right there. Then, suddenly, he felt a familiar sensation wash over him, it was that comforting warmth that enveloped his body and eased his fall.“Fred!” Eren called out, relief flooding through him as he realized that the system had come to his rescue once again. Eren found himself being lifted back up towards the surface, with a gentle whoosh.As he appeared from the darkness, Eren found himself standing once again on solid ground, although he was a bit shaken from the fall. He took some time to collect himself, and he was grateful for the system's Intervention. Meanwhile, deep within the shadows of the desert, the dark hand lay stretched out on the ground, his body battered and covered with bruises from the fall. He groaned in pain as he struggled to regain his strength, the memories of his encounter with Eren were still fresh in his mi
“Grandpa, had Eren contacted you yet?” Yuri asked the calm man by the bonfire.“The worthy one will survive whichever trials, Yuri. Eren will not die, if he died it will only show he was not worthy of my trust, but I believe he will triumph over it, don't worry too much over it”.“But grandpa…"“No buts, you can't do anything but wait, his phone isn't reachable. I am going to hang out with my friends at his resort, I won't be back for at least a week. Ignore your useless Father and your stepmother”.…“So this is the treasure, it isn't even exceptional in the slightest”Eren complained bitterly.He couldn't believe he spent three days, weathering through dangerous situations, almost losing his life twice, all for the sake of an empty room.An EMPTY room, " seriously, you have got to be kidding”“ Fred, tell me you have got good news for me, maybe there's another silly door and this is the final barrier “Eren asked, still nearing some hope.“ No, master Eren, this is the final layer to
(Tokyo, Japan)“Fujiwara san, the clan head, is looking for you?” A middle-aged woman dressed in red kimono said to the topless youth in the hall.“Shua shua shua shua shua shua shua shua" the rhythmic sound of slashing echoed in the silent room.“Fujiwara-san, the head, requested that… Slash”The sound of blade cutting flesh mixed with the sharp whistle of the air interrupted the head maid.Silence descended in the room as the only faintly audible sound was the sound of the maid's heart thumping. Cold sweat dripped from her chin to her collarbones as she touched the cut on her neck. A little more and her head would have been severed.“Please forgive me Fujiwara san, I over stepped my boundaries” the head maid said with trepidation as she knelt on the polished floor.For a moment she had forgotten the terror of Fujiwara Takashi, the smiling demon. The only child of the Fujiwara's who has more enemies than an average general. At age five, he ordered the extermination of an entire clan
Yuri lay on the ground, her head throbbing from the blow she received. As she slowly regained consciousness, she could hear voices nearby. She strained her ears to listen.“...eliminate Yuri fast, she may take over from father…"Yuri's heart skipped a beat. She recognized her parents' voices. They were talking about her. But what were they saying?“Do you really want your hard work and dedication to be ignored and credit given to a spoiled brat?”Spoiled brat? Yuri clenched her fists in anger. They were talking about her, but it sounded like they were talking about someone else entirely.“If she survives Fujiwara Takashi, she will be his legal wife…"Yuri's eyes widened in shock. Fujiwara Takashi? The infamous heir of the Takashi family? The realization hit her like a ton of bricks. They were planning to send her to face him in some kind of battle.But why? What did they stand to gain from this?“She will be grateful to us if she ends up marrying into the Takashi family,” Fanchin expl
As Eren gathered his thoughts, he knew he had to act fast. With Yuri in danger, he couldn't afford to waste any time. He dialed Grandpa Huo's number, and he hoped for guidance and support.“Hello, Grandpa Huo,” Eren said as his heart raced with anticipation.“Eren, my boy, what's the matter?” Grandpa Huo's voice came through the phone, filled with concern.“Yuri's been kidnapped,” Eren blurted out, his words rushed and urgent.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Grandpa Huo spoke again. “Kidnapped? By whom?”“I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out,” Eren declared, determination burning in his chest.“Be careful Eren. Since we don't know her kidnappers yet, they might be in dangerous territory,” Grandpa Huo warned, his voice stern yet filled with love.“I will, Grandpa. But I can't just sit back and do nothing,” Eren replied, his resolve firm.Eren formed a plan in his mind, He knew he couldn't do this alone. He needed help, and he knew exactly whom t
The Enlightenment Test“The competition is in two days,” he said, his voice dripped with anger. “You better be ready.”With that, he turned and left the room, leaving Yuri alone with the lifeless body of the maid. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized the gravity of her situation. She was trapped, alone, with no one to turn to for help.********Yuri sat among the other contestants, the scent of incense filling the air as they waited for the first test to begin. Her heart raced with anticipation, her mind focused on the challenge ahead. She knew she had to succeed if she ever hoped to escape from Fujiwara's hostage.As the incense burned, Yuri closed her eyes and focused, her mind reaching out for the knowledge hidden within the Pagoda. She felt the ancient energy flowing through her, guiding her toward a skill that would help her in her quest for freedom.And then, she found it. The flowing mind sutra is a mental skill that would enhance her focus and concentration. With deter
Eren sat across from Ketesu, the head of the ONA family, as they discussed the forthcoming rescue mission for Yuri. The atmosphere was strained, filled with the weight of past occurrences and the urgency of their current situation.“Ketesu, I need to understand more about the rift between the Takashi and the ONA,” Eren said, his voice filled with curiosity.Ketesu nodded solemnly, he reflected on the years of struggle and loss. “It's a history as old as time, Eren, one I wouldn't want to remember. Our families were once in-laws, bounded by marriage and blood. But now, we are arch enemies, locked in a never-ending cycle of revenge and bloodshed.”Eren listened intently, he was eager to know the truth behind the rivalry between the two families.“It all started with a betrayal,” Ketesu continued, his voice filled with bitterness. “The Takashis wanted power above everyone else, and they were willing to do anything to attain it. They don't care who is being killed or stepped on, they want
