Cyclists sprinted through the streets, Draven leaned against the street lamp, near the bus stand. He synced an earbud to his com, suspiciously his eyes darted for eavesdroppers.
He dialled a number.
It beeped until; the person answered. "Hello" said a coarse voice.
Draven said "Hello Tony, I want to take a week off!"
Tony replied "Why?"
Draven said. "Something has come up!"
"Where are you going?"
Vaguely, he responded "Home. Friend's home"
Tony said "Well whatever, just get back soon!"
"And..."
Draven arched an eyebrow "And?"
Tony blurted "Hahah... don't forget to beat your stinking ass. Haha!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Still breathing on laughing gas, Tony said “Kid, call me when you get back! Oh, and send me a picture of your busted..."
Draven's mouth twitched; he ended the call. Vernon chuckled at the fate of his greedy host.
A minute later, Draven put his camper bag around
Like pls, Drop gems!!
While hiding, Draven fidgeted, his fingers tapped the blades of grass. He suggested "Can we just go down?" Karisa said "What if they are thieves?" Draven smirked. "If they are, I will just pound them." "How can you be so... thick headed? You could get killed!" Draven slyly said "How about we make a bet? 1000 bucks that I can make it back here in one piece!" Karisa exclaimed "Are you out of you mind?" "No, just an opportunist. And no, I never planned on leaving you! Then wouldn't you feel lonely, without me" Draven winked. Her face darkened, gritting her teeth. "Fine. Go do what you want! I don't care anymore!" Shamelessly, Draven asked "And the bet?" "Take your stinking money" she said, throwing a cube worth thousands of credits. "Thank you, Bye babe!" Draven chuckled and the moment he stood up; a hand grabbed his arm. Shocked, he said "Hey, what...?" Her clutched hands trembled; emotions flicker
After Draven conversed with Vernon. "Excuse me, Malcolm. Can I take a chance?" Malcolm turned to the voice; brows pinched his forehead. He said "Draven, are you sure, you want to fight two tier 2 beasts all by yourself?" finding it absurd, a silent chuckle escaped his lips. "Yeah, I want to see how far I can go!" Draven replied. "Don't you know it is dangerous?" Malcolm said. "I don't think so!" Draven shrugged his shoulders. "What do you guys think?" Malcolm said, aiming to coerce him to a safer path. Tracy stuttered "Uh, I think... Draven is right only... if" clutching her pants. Picking up where Tracy left off, Karisa said "I also agree with Tracy! That we should go with him and hunt them. I am sick and tired of hunting only tier one beasts." Malcolm pensively held his chin, said "Okay. And you Liam?" Liam answered "I don't know. But I think Draven might be strong enough to handle them." "Isab
Silently they travelled with full minds, still in disbelief. Even with the evidence of his domineering slaughter in their storage bags. Draven leisurely strolled ahead, like he was taking a field trip. Tracy mouth opened and closed, she said "Draven, are you sure you don't want them?" "Hmm... Yes, there is nothing I can do with them. I already got their cores!" Draven said, glancing the tablet in his hand. "Uh... Don't you know their parts are still valuable, we can trade them for credits or some tools or make a weapon out of their claws." Internally Draven scoffed, why would he want a tier 2 beast weapon when he has a tier 7 sword. Draven replied "No. I don't need them. You can have them!" "Are are you sure?" Tracy said, concealing the delight in her almond eyes. "Yes. I can always hunt some more. Or maybe a better one, like a tier three or four?" Draven said, adding a layer of humbleness to cloak his desire of hunting a tier 7 beast.
While Draven was within the beastly plant, it drilled itself deep into the earth. Draven scrutinized his surroundings. Half immersed in water, his hands mindlessly touched the top, his eyes twitched in the dark, touching the slimy walls. “Yuck” He flicked his hand. *poof* Unable to comprehend, he tried again, his flame just wouldn't ignite, he blankly stared. Suddenly, he started hurling curses, punching and kicking the walls. "THERE IS NO F***ING WAY!” “THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING? AHHHH” “IT IS JUST A STUPID PLANT! WHY CAN’T I BREAK OUT OF THIS?" he shouted, wildly swinging his fists. *Thud* *Thud* Small tentacles slithered from the bottom, and in a snap, they wrapped around his limbs, binding him in one spot. It stretched his arms apart, he moaned in pain. “Owwh, Ahhh” Bitter expression overrun his face, he shouted "Vernon, any advice?" "You could
The wolves on their hind legs, got ready to pounce, others at the side, swiped their claws, throwing blue claws, they swished through the air. Draven dashed to the right, and swiftly flickered his whip, negated their attacks The fire on the whip burned with a higher intensity, raising the temperature. The moment they went closer, Draven swiped his whip, the wolf growled as the whip seared its fur. The beast kept running forward through the flame. For the first time Draven realized the difference between a demonic beast and a normal one. It was resilient. Normal beasts would back out in fear after suffering an attack but they didn't back down and wouldn't stop until their target was terminated. Changing tactics, he created a dome of fire around him and slowly spread, pushing the beasts back. As he took this time to recover, he shot spears of flames from the dome, killing a wolf while the others dodged. Draven fell on his knees, feeling the sudden drop
A second later, Draven appeared in front of a dazed Tracy, she frantically dug the ground with a shovel, make a hole deep enough to bury a man. Unaware of his presence, she kept digging and perspiring as the sun beaten down her fair complexion into a sweaty pink. Above, Draven clutched his chest, welled up with fuzzy emotions, a puzzled expression hung his sober face. 'Why? Why is she doing this? I am nobody to her so why?' He wanted to shout and tell her to stop, a lump stuck on his throat. After blankly staring at her for few seconds, rationality dawned him. He teleported to a bolder a mile away, and walked, a giant bird attacked him. In a flash, he flicked his blade out and twisted his body backwards, cutting off the birds’ talons, they dropped on the floor. It screeched in anger and dived down; his beak parted shooting yellow energy balls. Draven sidestepped and avoided the attacks. Once the bird was close enough, he pulled his whip
"Draven, help me load the boar""Sure, mate!"Draven held the hooves of the gigantic boar, Liam flashed him a look and at the count of one, they lifted it on the wooden stick and tied their game to the handles. Liam grunted and puffed while carrying it back to camp, contrary to Draven he seemed fine, not affected by the boulder-sized wild boar.After drawing lots, Liam and Draven were assigned to hunt and prepare supper.Draven sighed contently, after all, these three days have been very pleasant. Starting to prefer the great outdoors. While carrying the boar back to camp, he made some small talk. "Liam""Yeah?"Draven said "Isn't this place peaceful?"Bewildered, he blurted "huh?""What do you think? Do you prefer living in the city or the forest?" Draven said."Why would I like to live in the woods like an old hermit!? " Liam said.Draven chuckled "Okay... but don't you think the air is cleaner here?"
Under the false image cloak, the bandits stealthily creeped closer to their camp, holding the hostages in one arm and q dagger between their teeth. Amira swinging her legs, gaming on her tablet. Her ears pricked to the rolling pebbles, she casted a suspicious glance. The bandits stood still under their camouflage. She shifted her vision back to her tablet, they tiptoed closer, holding their breaths. The earbuds buzzed, receiving a command from their leader. Amira said "Malcolm!" One of the men hinted to attack, the troupe head raised his hand and they stopped. Malcolm said "Yes?" running towards her. Amira smiled, said "Can you show me how to defeat this boss?" Under her breath, she said "I think someone is watching us!" She whispered "Don't do anything yet" Putting on an awkward look, Malcolm said "I know how we can defeat them!" pointing at he game keys. In between they whispered "How can, you
