Teras: the deadly game of cards Welcome to Yuta
The travel to this faraway land was long but time passed quicker than normally for Orion, Jem stopped his carriage near a small river so his horses could get some rest, the horses were carrying everyone for about 10 hours so naturally, they had to rest, Jem also laid down so he can rest too, Teras was awakened for hours, after seeing this strange dream he couldn't sleep, the others were still sleeping on top of each other'They sleep like stray kittens'Teras thought as he watched them, after some time he got out of the carriage and went to clean his face with the river's water, the water was freezing, it was early in the morning though so it was expected, Teras then started to practice his mana overload, it was a very useful tool so if he learned how to use it then it would prove to be essential in the future'In the past, I tried to cause an explosion by charging my whole palm with mana but the results are different if I use a single spot'Teras thought, he then channeled mana to hi
Teras: the deadly game of cards Bandits
The group of bandits slowly walked up to the village, they also carried a cage with some kind of monster in it, Teras and his friends blocked the bandits' way to the village, they didn't seem too happy about that but they weren't necessarily angry "What's up with all you kids? Did the village hire you to fight us off?" A man asked, he seemed to be the leader of the group "Hello there, we are Orion and we are here to negotiate with you not to fight, so how about we have a civil discussion?" Teras suggested, the leader laughed and his crew followed "And what can YOU possibly offer us?" "The opportunity to run away!" Teras replied with a calm smile, the bandits' smiles slowly faded away from their faces, but after some time they started laughing again, this time harder than before "What's so funny?" Teras asked, the leader's response was a kick to the stomach that sent Teras flying, after what they saw Teras's group quickly went into a defensive position "Teras are you okay?" C
Teras: the deadly game of cards Golden Hunter
The monster was slowly walking out of its cage observing the world outside, Teras felt a very strange aura of mana coming out of this monster, it was something he had never seen before, it made him feel intimidated, Marco's laugh also made him even more anxious "Get him Beast!" Marco yelled, after he said that a collar that the monster was wearing started to glow, shortly after it shocked the monster, and after the shook the monster went berserk at Teras, Teras tried to dodge but the monster was way too quick, Teras was struck by the monster's powerful tail, the attack sent Teras flying even though he blocked it with his hands, before Teras could recover from the hit the monster attempted to hit him again but this time Teras barely managed to pull out his mana charged sword to defend himself, he swung the sword at the monster but the monster was too sharp, so sharp that it could predict Teras's attack, the attack simply slashed the air creating a wave of air pressure 'Shit if that h
Teras: the deadly game of cards Day 1 / Campaign and Basic training
It didn't take long for people to realize their situation, they began to think more rationally and logically, why leave when you can fight? They already stood a chance since Teras managed to hurt the "invincible" monster and even beat some of the strongest bandits, Teras and his friends were currently in the bar trying to recover after their fight, Cara was using water healing while the others were using their healing power to heal themselves, Zak entered the bar slowly after the bandits left "I'm sorry for everything I did! I now realize the situation we are" Zak said, he couldn't bring to keep his head up "Took you long enough!" Teras replied as he was wiping the blood off his face "Stay here I will bring you some alcohol so you can treat your wounds" Zak said as he quickly went into the bar "What are we going to do? This monster is very strong and that's not all, those bandits are large in number too, so beating them seems impossible" Cara asked while she continued to heal e
Teras: the deadly game of cards Day 4 / Sword fighting
3 Days passed after Teras and his friends decided to help the villagers, all of them trained hard for another 3 days to increase their stamina, they ran, they swam, and they lifted up weights, they did everything they could do to surpass the strength of the bandits, but after some day of training they felt like they were spending their time wrongly, nobody can get stronger with only a limited time like theirs, what they needed to do now was not strengthen their bodies but sharpen their battle senses so in the 4th day Teras decided to start with a basic sword training, it was early in the morning when Teras gathered everyone in the open field the village had "Good morning everyone! You all did well in your strength training so I think is time to move on to sword training, most of you probably know how to fight with a sword so this session of training won't require someone to teach you how to fight, this session will mostly be a tournament like a sword fighting contest between us, we wi
Teras: the deadly game of cards Day 9 / Mana training
As the day passed anxiety grew larger and larger between the citizens and the group, Teras woke up in his brand new bed, and the villagers noticed that the beds were not enough for everyone so they took their time creating one for Teras, Teras woke up before the sun raised so he decided to go for a walk around the village, it was cold outside and Teras's breath left a fog, autumn was coming faster than expected this year, Teras looked at all the poorly made house and thought to himself 'Why hasn't the kingdom helped yet? Shouldn't abusing a small village like considered a harsh crime?' He didn't have the answer but he knew only one thing, the kingdoms don't care, if they did then they wouldn't have let this happen for over a month, surprising Teras saw another person walking ahead of him, when he approached the person he saw that he was no other from Zak "What are you doing this early in the morning?" He asked him "The same thing as you! Trying to calm myself down" Zak replied wi
Teras: the deadly game of cards Day 13 / Tryhard
The days of mana training quickly ended with everyone being able to use mana on a below-average level excluding the people that already knew how to control it, these people became even stronger after pushing their selves to the absolute limit, they had to or else all this training will go to wasteIt was one day before the bandits were said to arrive, and all of the villagers were doing nothing but relaxing their bodies, after weeks of intense training their body was weakened and exhausted so the best thing they could do is rest, all of the women and children were packing their things and were ready to go and hide in the forest, being caught in the crossfire of the fight would probably cause them great damage, but before they left the men said one last goodbye to them, many were also crying, some of them seemed to accept the fact that they may die, it was a sad thing to see but that was their reality, and they couldn't do anything to change it besides fight"I'm going to miss you, Rex
Teras: the deadly game of cards Get ready
For some weird reason Teras woke up early, his friends were still sleeping 'It's time to fight huh? The time sure flew by fast but right now I can't do anything about it, so at least I will make sure to use my training to its fullest, I bet that the bandits won't expect us to fight them' Teras thought as he got out of bed, Teras then took some time to fix his armor and then went for a walk outside, a small fog surrounded the forest, Teras noticed a figure standing beside a tree, he slowly got closer to the figure, it was Zak, he simply was standing and staring at the tree "Couldn't sleep either?" Teras asked as he stood near Zak "I'm just looking at Julian" He said as he continued looking at the tree, Teras was quite confused "Didn't Julian die? Did you drink too much or something?" Teras asked jokingly "This is where we buried Julian, this is his tree?" Zak answered with a serious expression, Teras felt a bit silly laughing at a man's grave "You never told me about Julian,

The man over the world
Nobody dared to move, Joker was standing pridefully while staring down at Orion, it was like a wild animal looking at its pray before devouring it, Teras could see a similar aura around the man like Tokkou's, maybe because he was a card possessor, or maybe because both he and Tokkou didn't have good intentions when they met Teras but one thing was for certain This man isn't going to let them live so Teras had to do something in order for everyone to escape "Why are you doing this? If you want to kill us then do it already!" Teras said as he lifted up his head "Why? There is no "why"! I just feel like doing this, are you going to do something about it?" The Joker asked Teras while continuing to smile "If you enjoy causing trouble this much then why aren't you attacking the royal capital? You are the legendary Joker after all" Teras told him ironically, the Joker didn't like that "You are a comedian aren't you? Then how about you tell me a joke, if I laugh then I will let you go,

Wild Card
After this eventful night the whole village was surrounded by crimson butterflies, they all sucked the blood of the fallen Crimson butterflies are the most tragic creatures in the world, they can see the bad things but can't stop them, they can warn people but all they do is attract people and animals closer to danger, they want to spread life but they fed on death, they can't be surprised or caught, and the only way for them to die is suicide Why does god create such creatures? So beautiful yet so scary, everyone asked but none could reply This kind of thought ran into Rex's mind as he kept running away from Yuta, the village he grew up in, but where was he heading? He had nowhere to go, none to talk to That was the case until he saw a carriage approach him "I must be dizzy from driving but is this a child?" Uncle Jem wondered as he was approaching Rex "There is indeed a boy walking towards us, but why is he covered in blood?" Tokkou wondered as he poked his head out of the ca

Unincluded
After all of the alcohol and food, everyone consume the previous night they couldn't do anything but sleep so that's what everyone did, many fell asleep on the table, some inside the bar, and others on the floor but ORION was responsible enough to go back home, they slept peacefully on their bed"Hahahahahah!"Teras heard a man laugh like a maniac"What's so funny?"He asked, but the man still kept on laughing his soul out, he couldn't catch a breath"Shut up!"Teras yelled but the man just barely managed to contain himself"Sorry, sorry! I just couldn't believe that you thought you won!"Suddenly the dark surrounding where Teras and the man stood turned into an arena formed by many people, the man had blood on his head and Teras was holding the blade that caused the bleeding of the man"You are bleeding I don't see a reason laughing this much"Teras replied as he inspected the sword in his hand"I'm laughing at you kid! How can you be this stupid? To think that you actually think you

I'm sure that last night I slept alone so when did this happen?' Teras thought as he was blushing, he was still not comfortable with how he ended up with Cara but he was... happy? 'Everything is perfect now but why do I feel like... empty... Yeah empty is the only way I can describe this feeling, I don't specifically feel sad but no

The lost piece
Teras then headed to the waterfall one last time to talk to Tokkou, once he arrived he hid behind a tree and watched Tokkou practice his powers, it's a rare occurrence to see a possessor of a high-rank card go all out, Tokkou was moving large trees and rocks around the place like nothing, he was gathering trees left and right and pressured all the trees and rocks together, he screamed "God's grip" the rocks and trees crashed into one another with a powerful force, and fragments of the rock flew out violently, one of the fragments scratched Teras on his cheek, but Teras didn't react, he was amused by the power Tokkou had, Tokkou then flew to the air, faced the opposite side where Teras was and yelled "God's push" a large number of trees and rocks flew away with force, and the whole place was destroyed but the trees around the waterfall remained fine, Tokkou then decided to relax on a remaining rock on the ground, Teras took advantage of his break and went to talk to him "Tokkou!! w

We had a meeting last month so having another one seems kind of useless to me'Tokkou thought as he walked towards the castle, he was wearing a long coat, and he didn't want to attract attention to him since that would have only delayed his tripAfter walking he came across a protest full of demons, it wasn't so big but it was enoug

The monster and the beast
~Somewhere at Thrisk a certain someone kept on knocking at a mansion's door but he was multiple times ignored~ "I swear I will kill those self-entitled rich guys that don't even bother answering the door..." Jem mumbled to himself as he kept on knocking on the door, but even after those tries he got no response "TERAS SENT ME GOD DAMMIT! OPEN THIS DOOR IT'S IMPORTANT!" Jem screamed with all of his force and suddenly the door opened, a familiar red-haired lady opened the door "Did you say Teras?" Becka asked Jem with a surprised look "I need to talk to Tokkou!" Jem said as he entered the mansion "I'm afraid master Tokkou is in the capital attending a royal meeting, and he won't return until the end of this week so if it isn't something important then I suggest you come later..." Becka said as she weirdly looked at the man that suddenly came inside the mansion "And what if I told you that Teras's life was in danger, would you be any help then?" Jem asked Becka while staring a

Electrical breakdown
~In the other side of the forest where everyone was fighting~ Blades were clashing against each other, and sparks were launched left and right, it was a mess but in this mess, it looked like the villagers were having the upper hand, the main units of the bandits were focused on Lia and Cara since they were the only card users, but little did they know the villager was holding a bigger surprise for them "So we meet again lighting lady! Seems like you didn't get enough beating before" Sot said as he manically jumped around "Not this time Sot, I will be handling her, with your powers fighting the water b*tch is the best option" Tristan said as he grabbed the right shoulder of Sot "Ahh come on! Don't ruin my fun like that" Sot said with a sad expression "Lia those idiots think that we are the same as before so act weak at first and when the times come let's beat their asses once and for all" Cara whispered to Lia's eat as he pulled her sword from its case, and before they could no
