The party discussed about their next job, it isn’t going to be easy as assassins are known to be cunning and deadly, not to mention their smartness when it comes to strategizing. And the only one who loves to create tactics in their party is Elaine, but still, the party decided to pick this job as this will test on how strong they really are. Abraham stood up and brought the job poster to the receptionist along with his party, “We will take this job, please.” Abraham said to the receptionist at the other desk then he winked at her. The receptionist turned red, but as she looks into the job, she looked back at Abraham, but she was avoiding eye contact, “I-I’m sorry, but the job has already been taken 2 weeks ago. I don’t know why it is still in the job board, but we will investigate—” The door of the guild hall then slammed open, it caught everyone’s attention the hall went silent. A man, bleeding heavily crawled into the hall. He has kunai knives stabbed all over his body, and some
The whole kingdom became hectic. The sudden assassination of the son of the duke was a shock to many. It may be just one of the assassination cases, but this time it’s different. The son of the duke is one of the most prominent business leaders in this country and is the economic adviser of the monarch himself. And him being assassinated means only one thing, the kingdom has now launched an all-out search for the culprit, as this is a sign of rebellion and somehow a declaration of war,“He took down one hell of a person. If he can slip through the guards of the son of the duke, then he is not an ordinary opponent,” says Marcus,“Well, we can, hopefully outsmart him. The rewards of us bringing him down would be massive as the whole kingdom is now on full alert. However, assassins tend to blend in on their environment, which makes them hard to spot as they will look like normal people. That is why people don’t know when the next attack is going to be.” Elaine followed.Abraham nodded,“
The fact that Abraham acquired two legendary beings as familiars is something to be shocked about. Raiju is one thing, but then there’s the eagle. Eagle familiars are picky beings, they choose whosoever they find worthy, but it is not as simple as that. The eagle also bases off the skills, attributes, and magic capacity of an individual before choosing them. However, it doesn’t end there, eagles are notorious for abandoning their masters when in the brink of losing, as they are proud creatures that only values winning and not losing. To them, losing and failing is a shame and an embarrassment, and them still being aligned to a person who lost and failed is a disgrace for them, and then they are said to be banished from their realm. That is the reason on why there are a lot of eagles in this world, all of them were banished for not abandoning their masters who lost and failed and still accompanied them to their bitter end. Since Abraham is new to this, he was brought along by Raiju and
The party then reached a village after a whole day of travelling. This is the last stopover they would do, as the harbors are near this village. They then entered an inn and checked themselves in,“Say, why are we not continuing our journey? The harbor is 5 kilometers away from this village, we can make even if it’s night.” Abraham asked as the others thought that way also.Elain sighed, as these people surely didn’t read the history of the path towards the main harbor. Nevertheless, after checking in, Elaine and Maia went into the boys’ room, as Elaine brought this map and some newspaper.“The reason we can’t continue our journey is right here, let me read it for you guys.” Elaine says as she then sat on a chair while the others gathered around her.She then shows the map of the kingdom, and then, she asked them to put their eyes near the harbor, and they would notice it immediately. And sure enough, they all saw one thing. The path towards the harbors has the name,“Switch Glades.”
It was already 5 in the morning, and everyone is now downstairs and was in the eating their breakfast before travelling for the next hours. Elaine was reminding everyone to not tell the harbor on Crea that they are adventurers. Assassins have a wide range of connections, and if he catches wind that a new set of adventurers are coming his way, he will be wary of it and is going to trick them at every turn. Their advantage is that the assassin doesn’t know that they are coming. And even if he knew about their arrival, he would never know who it truly is. That’s why Elaine told everyone to wear normal clothes, and if anyone asks them what they do and why they are holding weapons, just simply tell them that they are wandering warriors or mercenaries, that’s it.“Especially you Abraham, don’t just go around recklessly and sleeping with women on that island. I’m warning you,” Elaine then looked at Marcus “Marcus, keep an eye on him, will ‘ya.”Marcus chuckled,“As if I can keep this idiot u
Elaine is now facing a woman-like being with serpents as hair,“You look like freaking Medusa in the myths!” she grinned.The woman just hissed at her and charged. She has no feet, and her whole lower body is just like a snake. Not to mention the creepy and disgusting green scales of her and those yellow reptilian eyes. Elaine created some distance since she can’t fight in close combat as she is an archer, however, things just won’t go her way. The serpent woman kept on pushing her backwards and is not letting Elaine create some distance.“And now this is messed up.” Elaine thought to herself as it seems that this monster is smart.Despite being a creation of mana and a corpse, it still has its smartness intact which makes it a dangerous opponent. But the thing that annoys Elaine the most is the fact that the boobs of this serpent woman are hanging out and has no bra or anything, it is just wiggling and jiggling in front of her.“Ho, if Abraham is in my place here, he would be happy i
The fight between Abraham and the monster army was just so intense, that parts of the place they were fighting on are now in flames. “This is a drag!” Abraham complained in his head. The demon was using fire magic, that is why the place where they are fighting is on fire. Meanwhile, the three-headed dog was releasing flammable liquid from the both the left and right heads, meanwhile, the middle head dog was creating sparks that creates the flames. Not to mention the serpent tail of this bastard that spits out acid that can dissolve anything, even rocks or steel, maybe. In other words, this is a difficult situation for Abraham. He doesn’t have that much mana, but enough to make a grand escape, however, that won’t help either. It’s a gamble if he escapes since he is not sure whether the place, he will end up would be safe or not, and if it isn’t, then he’ll die for sure. That is why, he is choosing to fight in this fiery battle even though he is getting overwhelmed and is on the defens
The party did not even notice due to exhaustion that they have spent the whole night inside the dangerous glades. Elaine was the first one to wake up and see that all her party members are still snoring on the ground. She looked up the sky to see that it was a beautiful and sunny day. No wonder their clothes were dry already. Since everyone is still sleeping, she grabbed her bag and then proceeded to change her clothes while her back is facing them. As she removed her shirt, that is when she felt it. She can’t be mistaken since that’s what it feels to be spied upon. She then turned around to see that Abraham have his eyes half open and he was just pretending to be asleep. Nevertheless, Elaine continued to change her clothes and pretend that she didn’t see Abraham peeping on her. After finishing up, she picked up her ruined clothes and then walked towards Abraham. At first, Abraham thought that Elaine was just going to throw her tattered clothes somewhere, but then, Elaine suddenly elbo
With the assassin showing itself on the battlefield, it is safe to say that this person is also aiming for the head of Abraham,“I have waited this long. I haven’t seen this kind of battle in years, and I have to say. Abraham Warlock, you sure do know how to stir things up even though you never intended to and was just catching leads about me.” The assassin says in its muffled voice under the mask that is covering the assassin’s whole face.Abraham who is a completely different person now just grinned as he finally found a real challenge. However, he then realized that Angel was killed, which means that he would most likely take the blame for it, but his other self does not care. Abraham has this obsession to kill and finally clear their job in this island, however, this assassin is too strong for Abraham. The two broke away from each other as the other Abraham is now trying to figure things out. Deep inside him lies the real Abraham, waiting to be set free. Since he was trapped and i
JACOB'S POV:Pumunta muna ako ng locker room para magpalit, at pagkatapos kong magpalit, dumiretso agad kami sa field para sa training. Since baguhan ako, basics agad ako. Dumating kami sa field na naka full baseball uniform na ako, pero hindi pa ito 'yung opisyal na uniform since new member pa lang ako at wala pang kasiguruhan kung mapapasama ako sa main roster, lalo na't may karibal pala ako sa mga rookies, at ang dami nila. Pero kung tutuusin, ako lang ang pinaka baguhan dito at pinaka walang alam tungkol sa baseball, maliban sa napapanood ko. Kasi habang nagpapahinga ako, nanonood ako ng mga baseball anime at iba pang baseball related videos para matuto, at siguro, okay na rin ako kasi alam ko na ang basic rules, mga role ng bawat position, lalo na ang magiging position ko, which is ang pagiging pitcher. Pinakilala ako ng secretary ni kuya kay coach Dexter, o mas kilala sa palayaw na CoDex. Siya ang isa sa mga pitching coach ng team na ito, at siya ang head coach ng 3rd string tea
Bumaba agad ako ng mound pagkatapos kong ibato 'yong bola. Hindi ko alam, pero nakakaramdam ako ng excitement noong naibato ko yung bola. Para bang nakasuntok ako sa kalaban ng solid na kanan na kamao ko. Pero dahil ibabato ko lang naman, hinubad ko na kaagad 'yung uniform at pumunta sa vlocker para magpalit. Sinundan ako ni kuya Alex, at doon na nga niya ako pinilit na sumalio ng baseball. Ngunit, napaisip din ako, at bigla ko na lang napagtanto kung bakit niya ako dinala dito,"Jacob, sumali ka na! 'Yung bato mo, pang-player talaga. Pati—""Kuya, pasensiya na, pero ayaw ko talaga. Gustuhin ko man, 'di ako marunong, pati 'di ako bagay mag-baseball, pagtatawanan lang ako. So, salamat sa offer, pero pass ako." Sagot ko habang isinusuot ko ang aking t-shirt.Bumuntong hiniga si kuya dahil na-disappoint siya. Pero wala, eh, ayaw ko talaga, hihingi na lang ulit ako ng dispensa dahil nag-abala pa siya na ipakita sa'kin kung ano ang baseball. Ganunman, hindi ko pa rin maalis sa isipan ko an

It was still not easy to believe that Ian is rejecting the ideas of Vincent of dragons, when his late brother was also having the same ideas as Vincent. However, what looks like to David is that Ian is having difficulties in accepting that his brother’s theories and guesses were right since that kind of topic has risen once again. Because Ian might be thinking that the idea of some dragons being awakened by a certain cult was buried along with his brother down his grave. But it isn’t. Instead, it resurfaced and is now having some light on it. As if they think about it carefully, it does make sense. Especially when they put into mind that cults are doing rituals, and rituals needs sacrifices. And this is when David realized that Vincent and Herbert’s theories are correct. But how did they even come up with that conclusion when dozens of skilled heroes and investigators have held the case of the cult for years, and yet did no get a single thing to make the case go forward, that’s why th
As the fight below rages, the fight at the surface was no difference. It is much worse actually. The dragons have already killed 200 heroes with its overwhelming powers, but they died without regrets as they died being a hero to protect the people they swore to always defend and save. Ian is now fighting the dragons without any results at all. He is just striking it with lightning even though the dragons are immune to it as they literally can control the weather and perform natural disasters on a whim. But the thing that pisses Ian off, is the fact that the dragons are laughing at them. As it only views the brave heroes as mere ants meant to be stepped on. And it was an insult to the deaths of hundreds of heroes just to stop them. Ian then struck multiple lightning at the beast, then the vice commander David shot bullet rocks at it. However, the dragons just laughed it off. And that is another thing that surprised them all. These dragons can speak like normal humans do.“You think you
The atmosphere changed as their conversation was continued inside their home. Alexander stood at the left of his mother and listened to the man who introduced himself as Ray. Ray talked about a lot of things that Alexander couldn’t understand, it is unbelievable and it’s impossible.“Alexander, sir, you must understand that you are no ordinary person. The strength and the power you’ve used during that can only mean one thing.” Says Ray.But Alexander doesn’t believe in what this guy is saying. It is just purely impossible for it to even happen. He tried to find answer from his mother, but she too was in distress and is obviously nervous for some reason. Even his grandmother is there sitting on a chair and speechless.“Okay, I’ll believe you. But where is he?” snapped Alexander.He never felt this way before, his insides are boiling because of his anger, and it was like he was about to burst. Jane looked up at her son and saw him determined to have an answer to that question, she tried
