Darkness, cruelty, and death. That’s just a few words that the King of Demons is called. Living in the Dark Realm, the Demon King reigns supreme over his millions of demonic followers and subjects. Kingdoms tried their best and forced to barricade the borders of the Dark Realm by putting powerful barrier spells on it, however, what happened happen. 102 years ago, the Demon King decided to conquer the world and that is when the barriers were broken, towns burned and destroyed, and blood was flooding each kingdom. Since the Demon King is the supreme being among demons, monsters, and beasts alike, his followers and allies were not limited within his territory, instead, every monster and beast around the world joined his conquest and helped him conquer the world. And so, the first Great Mage War began. The war went on for 5 years, since kingdoms did not have enough resources back then to continue fighting, so along the way of the war, some kingdoms backed out and some stayed while the othe
After dealing with the drops and receiving the money, Abraham and the old man went out of the office to see that there are no longer adventurers nor mages around, except for Abraham’s party, “You’re late, idiot, the boat is about to leave and is just waiting for us.” Elaine says. “Sorry, I had some things to do. Now, you two, have you bought what we need?” Abraham replied as he looked at Edward and Maia. Y-Yes, but it still confuses me, though. Why would you need holy water, a knight’s handbook, and some unmixed potion?” Maia asked. “I have my reasons for buying that, in any case, sir, how much is it?” Abraham looked at the old man, “For you, that would only be 5 gold, 200 silver and 1,000 copper.” Says the old man. The party then bagged their equipment and then left the store individually. As Abraham is about to leave already, the old man suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered something in his ear, “The path of a Chosen is not easy. It is a bumpy ride, kid. Every turn you do,
It was already 10 in the evening, and the party is now gathered around the table in the inn’s dining area. Everyone just finished eating, except for Abraham, “When are you going to finish eating?” Elaine asked as she is getting annoyed, “This is my last plate, bear with me.” Abraham replied as he then gulfed down sandwich after sandwich, “You have been saying that for the last 30 minutes. Elaine, just state the plan while this leader of ours is eating.” Marcus says. Elaine rolled her eyes and then nodded. She then began with the purpose of their mission. And it is to find leads about the assassin. They can gather information from brothels, random people, bandits and some criminals, who are evidently have a grudge against the assassin. Since this assassin has ruined the lives of all outlaws in this town, because he has put the knights on full alert every night, so, business as thieves and criminals are now at its lowest, “However, we need to be careful. The assassin can be anywhere
Meanwhile, Elaine is now on top of a hill and is laying on her chest as she observes the HQ of the bandits. She has never seen anything like this. Hundreds or maybe thousands of bandits are gathered in one place. To some, this is terrifying as bandits gathered is usually bad news. However, there are some people, especially bounty hunters, who treat this kind of thing as opportunities to cut off some heads and bring it to the Order of the Knight’s HQ to earn some money. As Elaine was observing the base of operations of the bandits, she then heard some voices and footsteps behind her. She then stood up, summoned her bow and arrow, and pointed it towards the direction where the noise was coming from. After a few seconds, 3 men emerged from the dark and was quietly arguing, until they saw Elaine who is ready to shoot at them, and then they shut up. Then, Elaine saw something the one man at the middle was holding. It was wanted flyers. These guys are bounty hunters and is sacrificing themse
T After finishing their 4th and final round since the girls can’t take it anymore as Abraham is just too great, they got dressed up and just went to drink and eat with Abraham who is now wearing his pants and then his brown leather boots, “Uh, sir, can we go ahead and get ourselves clean first? So, we don’t smell sweaty and be sticky as we drink.” Says the other girl, “Oh, sure. Suit yourself, I will just be waiting here for you guys.” Abraham replied. The girls then went out and goes to their quarters to clean themselves. And as they go down, a server for Abraham is now brining a tray filled with new supplies of booze and everything. But as she was about to reach the room of Abraham, she was suddenly grabbed by the mouth to silence her and got dragged into another room. Abraham who is now drinking booze after wearing his shirt then wears his light armor and sighed, “So, it begins.” He thought to himself and continued to drink the whole bottle of what they call as rice wine. He t
“What do we do now? I have a feeling that Marcus won’t come back, anytime soon, even if his sister begs him to.” Elaine says as she looked at Abraham, “We can’t control one’s decisions as long as they’ve put their will into it. It’s up to him if he is going to come back or not, but right now, we have bigger problems to handle.” Abraham replied as he stood up and sighed. He then lied on his bed and just went to sleep immediately as there is too much that is bugging his head right now. First about the Zeus-relic thing, the assassin encounter, and then this thing. He is now realizing the hardships of being an adventurer, especially when he is the one leading this party. Meanwhile, Maia was following her brother, “What kind of attitude was that, Marcus?! We are indebted as he saved our town, and you still want to continue this stupidity?!” Maia snapped. Marcus stopped from his walking as this is the first time, he has heard his sister angry, “So? Your point is? Yes, we are indebted t

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
