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
Hundreds of miles below the surface, in one of the roughly dug rooms. A nauseating smell wafted around; as a gooey liquid accumulated, flowing from an insect hive above. A yellow drop, bounced, and flowed down his glistening nape as he slept.Within the deep resides of his mind, a ghoulish figure smirked and literally planting a creepy grin on Draven's face, stretching to the ends, beneath the bandage.Hr laughed, cooking up a hair-raising scheme. A shadowy figure took root in his consciousness, he stood before Draven, his weakened soul."Hehe... kneel before me, you peasant, I am your King Kalaraja, ruler of the underworld!"“Obey me your King, and I will make you the strongest being, with all the riches you could ever have… and” “Together, you and I will rule the world”“All you go to do is, kneel!”Draven silently studied the being within his mind space, ‘Is he the reason, why
Draven sat upright on the mat, slowly adjusting himself, his hands groped the surroundings. He titled his head around, he gasped "I really can't see anything but darkness." Vernon said "If you want, we can still restore your eyes with the cell regeneration ability. But do hurry, the longer you wait, less effective the ability will be to cure old wounds." Draven said "Yeah, whatever! Don't you think human eyes are too fragile?" Vernon shook his head "You are definitely the weirdest person I have ever met" Draven said "I just think they are unreliable, it's better to replace them with those bionic eyes. Isn't it much better? It has many features; it is super convenient!" Vernon grunted "Who am I, to tell you what to do?" Draven commanded "Okay then show me a list of abilities related to eyes!" Astral vision || projection Aura vision Merging vision Microscopic vision X-ray vision Heat vision
After Tracy fed him dinner, Draven lied down on the mattress with closed eyes; waiting for the clock to strike twelve. He grinned, absorbing the information picked up from his system scans. He opened his system and spent another 700 exp to buy enhanced senses and drone eye. Few hours later, Vernon shouted in his head "Hey kid, it's time!" Draven clicked his lips "Hmm, so soon. I wanted to enjoy my dream bathing with beauties in the lake" Before Vernon could say anything, Draven turned solemn and pushed himself off the ground, he stood up. Using his aura vision, he pulled out a fork and blunt knife from his pockets and put his ear against the door. 'Hmm... I can't hear a thing!' "Vernon, can you do a scan?" Vernon uploaded the outside surroundings into his brain. "Coast is clear!" Draven said, activating his invisibility, he slowly opened a small slit and stealthy squeezed through. A bandit at the end of the corridor, shot a swe
Once more they clashed, glittering the area in sparks, they both grunted, like two bulls violently shoving their horns."Not bad kid, you can still keep up! I am impressed. With your tiny statue I thought I could easily steamroll ya!" Mr. Luiz laughed, enjoying the battle.Stuck in a deadlock, Draven knew he was getting nowhere with just his combat skills and his fire ability. Mr. Luiz could even see through his misdirection, for he was a bit faster than what Draven initially thought.Draven grinned "Sorry to disappoint ya! Hehe, be prepared for more""Huh?" he swung his saber across his abdomen.Draven teleported, descending with a sword, aiming for his head. Mr. Luiz skipped back, diverted his sword to the ground. Mr. Luiz exclaimed "You can teleport?"Meanwhile, inside Mr. Luiz’s room, Tracy rubbed her eyes, their continuous clashes tickled her ears. She groped the bedsheet in the dark, she whispered "Louis, what is that
"Those bastards" swiftly he paced himself forward, fluttering his lab coat with a fierce air. The operators paused their work and made way for him while the supervisor and the captain argued. Luis stood before them with a stern face. "Ahem" He turned to Luis with a wry smile, said. "Ah, Professor" "What are you two doing? Get back to your duties. I will handle this," Luis said, and stepped in front of the controls. "Yes." The supervisor pecked his head like a hen as he retreated. "Capt. Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in. A teal light beamed around the borders. "Defence activated" While on the outside, a transparent membrane shot from thefrontof ship and converged to the end, pushing the nearby rocks away. Luis hands typed codes on screen and slammed
On a funnel of space and light creates a wondrous image, as millions and millions of extra-terrestrial bodies compete, pushing themselves past the obscurity of the distance and the darkness of the space. In a void, a silver blimp flashed through the cluster of rocks. Cannons on the sides rotated and fired. Thousands of rays converged and struck the ginormous space rock. It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one. " A finger flicked the photo across the holographic screen to the next one. Pride refracted in his jay-blues while he appraised the moment. He hummed in remembrance. A crystal cup lifted above his head, sparking brilliance between him and his team, while a girl kissed his cheek under the rain of confetti.A p
Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br
Reading the announcement, the viewers blinked and suddenly bursted into cheers, holographic fireworks exploded in the air.Alight appearedinthe dugout, Osbornestood before them with a weak smile. "I did it!"His teammatesturned aroundand pounced,hisheadwent ditsyand Osborne fell on the bench. Dowsing their mood with a bucket of cold water. Coach said. "Guys, give him some space, he is just beat""But sir??"Coach assured them with a smile. "Don't worry, he is okay. He just needs time to recover by the time we have to go and claim the cup!""YAAYY!"Chad tugged his jacket, said "Sir, aren't you forgetting the group picture?""Oh, yeah..." Coach said, stumped by his situation, he pondered and said. "Maybe, Draven will be fine!""Yes, come one let go see Draven!!" Chad shouted, and like a mob the students pushed Coach along with them.
Draven asked."Anyway, do you guys know who won the match?""Nope, we rushed here as soon you got teleported out! I was worried something happened to you again!" Becky said."What do you mean again?" Amelia asked, clueless about the previous events since Abby didn't inform them of his situation."Its nothing" Becky shook her head."So, the match is going on?"Amelia said. "I think, before I left, Osborne was fighting that McFerreen guy."Rushed footsteps echoed within the halls. Draven shifted his gaze to the door. Arkon entered with a howl. "Hello, son!" while his family followed behind with big smiles. "Oh, my baby," a woman in an elaborate dress exclaimed and moved past her children all the way to his bed."Hi, Dad. Mom?
Next second later,light flashed,couple of bodies fell onto the bed. Emergency lights flicked around the room. Draven blinked, staring at the ceiling with one thought. "Did I win? Or did I lose?" He shifted his head to the side, the door swung open, as a team of nurses and doctors approached the beds. Draven was about to speak, a nurse said. "Doctor, this patient is in a critical condition." "Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient. "Doctor, a weird infection seems to be spreading over from his external wounds. I think he is poisoned." Grim expression, the doctor ran a hand scanner down his body."Bythe metrics
"Just do it," Draven shouted. They hesitated before they clicked forfeit. A light befell and teleported them out."Now let's fight!" Pablo flexed his gamma muscles and his feet launched himself forward with a powerful shock wave, adding cracks to the ice.In a blink of an eyes, he shot from one point with an outstretched fist. Draven dropped to a roll. A leg flew to Draven's face. Fire rocketed his soles to the sky. He swayed his sword and shot beams of energy.Pablo sprung into the air, the rays deflected off his chest and from his eyes; he shot gamma rays.Draven tilted his body away and countered with a freeze ray. Draven thought. 'I need to figure out a way to defeat him without contaminating myself.'Draven asked. "Vernon. Does life force absorption work on radio
Fire swirled around his legs, Draven stepped forward, leavingtrailsof puddles in his path. Pablo slowly picked himself. Draven stood over him, said."Pablo, face it you are finished!""I am finished?"Pablo snickeredwhilehe bendedto pick his axe and said. "How can you say I am finished when I haven't even played my next card?"Draven's eyebrows lifted in alertness, "What?" and stepped back.Poison radiated from his pores, his armour melted down to his legs, glowing a radioactive light.A sudden dread hit his core. Draven stepped back and lifted a hand to his face. Pablo radiated a blinding light. He laughed with head back, "Time for you see my full strength!"Draven ran away and shouted, "Osborne, retreat! Retreat!"&
Reaching the end of the berg, the horses neighed and jumped across the large stretch of water and continued galloping. Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water. Suddenly, ice beams sprung from the ground and struck few of them, triggering the safety system and teleported them out, leaving the rest out of formation.A beam sprung before him, Pablo reined it back, the horse lifted itself to a stop; fluttering his fur cape. Pablo signalled them to spread out, a freezing ray shot straight to him. Pablo jumped off
