He knew his mother was right, but he just didn’t know how to change. He was a man of habit, a man of routine. But for Elena sake and in order not to cause her to feel embarrassed in the eyes of the public, he was willing to try.Rhys entered his room, exhausted from his mission. He locked the door behind him and walked over to the mirror. He took a deep breath, and as he exhaled, Rhys found himself in his inter-dimensional space. He looked around, taking in the familiar sights and sounds of the space. And then, he saw Rio.Rio was no longer the childlike spirit Rhys had grown accustomed to. Instead, he was now a teenager, with a mischievous grin and sparkling eyes.“Rhys! You are finally here, it’s so great to see you!” Rio exclaimed, bouncing up and down like a rubber ball. “I’ve missed you so much! You’ve been gone for ages!” Rhys was so occupied that he never had time to enter the space or train his inner Essence.Rhys couldn’t help but laugh at Rio’s antics. “Rio, you’re…different
“Good, Rhys,” Rio said, his voice calm and soothing. “Now, I want you to visualize your inner force growing stronger. Imagine a bright, white light building up inside you, filling your body with energy and power.”Rhys visualized the white light, feeling it grow stronger with each passing moment. He could feel his inner force expanding, filling him with a sense of strength and confidence.“Excellent, Rhys!” Rio exclaimed. “Now, I want you to push your inner force to the limit. Imagine the white light bursting out of your body, filling the entire space with its energy.”Rhys focused all his energy on the visualization, feeling his inner force surge to new heights. The white light exploded out of his body, filling the space with its radiance.“Whoa, Rhys!” Rio exclaimed, his eyes wide with amazement. “You’re doing it! You’re already breaking through to a new level!”Rhys felt a surge of excitement and pride, knowing that he was achieving something extraordinary. He continued to focus hi
“You’re a worthy opponent, Lucas,” Rhys said, his voice firm. “But I’m the better swordsman.”Lucas nodded, his eyes gleaming with respect. “You are indeed, Rhys. I underestimated you. But I won’t make the same mistake again.” Lucas nodded, and Rhys lowered his sword. The two men stood there for a moment, their eyes locked in a silent understanding.Rhys and Lucas quickly dispensed with their swords and began to fight using their inner forces. Rhys, had grown stronger because of his recent breakthrough. He had more strength, stealth and could heal his injuries faster than a normal human. Rhys channeled powerful lightning attacks that crackled with energy. Lucas, on the other hand could control wind, he used his mastery of the wind to create powerful gusts of wind that threatened to knock Rhys off balance.He created wind blades that slashed towards Rhys, ripping into his clothes but the injuries healed very quickly. The two fighters clashed, their inner forces colliding in a spectacul
“This is where we plan and execute our missions. Cult Master, you can choose to join any of the missions if you wish.”Rhys nodded, his eyes scanning the room. He saw a group of people gathered around a large screen, their faces lit by the glow of the computer. He saw another group working on weapons and gadgets, their hands moving quickly and efficiently.“Who are these people?” Rhys asked, his voice low.“They are our team,” his mother replied. “They are the best in the business, and they will be working under your command. You will be responsible for leading them, for making the tough decisions, and for ensuring the success of our missions.”Rhys nodded, his heart pounding with excitement. He was ready for this, ready to take on the leadership of the Phantom Organization.Rhys stood in the center of the room, his eyes scanning the gathered assassins. He knew that he had to prove himself, to show them that he was worthy of leading the Phantom Organization.“I challenge the best assa
In a different location, the Shadows Organization . A group of assassins gathered around a large table, their eyes fixed on the plans spread out before them. They were a team of skilled professionals, each with their own unique talents and expertise and they had been hired to steal a valuable artifact, one that was said to be worth a small fortune.“Alright, let’s go over the plan one more time,” said the leader of the group, a tall, imposing figure with a scar above his left eyebrow. “We’ll be going in through the east wing, avoiding the main security cameras. Once we’re inside, we’ll make our way to the display case and extract the artifact.”“Sounds simple enough,” said one of the assassins, a petite woman with a mischievous grin. “But what about the guards? We can’t just walk in there without being noticed.”“That’s where our inside man comes in,” said the leader. “He’ll be disabling the security cameras and alarms, giving us a clear path to the artifact.”“And what about the art
Despite their best efforts, they were quickly overpowered, and the artifact was taken from them. As they lay on the ground, defeated and helpless, Rhys gazed at them with a cold, calculating gaze. “You should have just handed over the artifact,” he said, his voice dripping with disdain. “Now, you’re going to have to pay the price for your foolishness.”With a nod, his assassins moved forward, their weapons raised. The group of assassins knew that they were going to die, and that there was nothing they could do to stop it, Just as all hope seemed lost, a figure appeared out of the shadows, a figure dressed in black clothing, with a mask covering their face.“Wait,” the figure said, their voice low and mysterious. “Don’t kill them yet. I have a proposition for you.”Rhys turned to face the intruder, his eyes narrowing. “Who are you?” he demanded. “And what do you want?”The figure stepped forward, their eyes fixed on Rhys. “My name is not important,” they said. “But what I want is the
But she was a bit persistent as she stepped in front of him, her eyes locked on his. “Oh, no, no, no,” she said, her voice playful. “You’re not going to get away from me that easily. My name is Cleopatra, and I’m here to make your night unforgettable.”Rhys was uncomfortable with the situation, but he tried to be polite. “I’m Rhys,” he said, his voice firm. “And I’m here to meet someone.” He signed the bodyguards who were approaching him to stop.Cleopatra pouted, her full lips jutting out in a sulk. “Ah, how boring,” she said. “You’re here to meet someone? How trite. How mundane.”Rhys raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. “I’m afraid I don’t know what you want from me,” he said. “But I’m not interested in whatever it is you’re offering.”Cleopatra laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Oh, sir,” she said. “You’re so serious. So uptight. I can tell you need a little loosening up.”Rhys shook his head, his eyes locked on hers. “I don’t think so,” he said. “I’m here to me
“Ma’am,” a deep voice said behind Cleopatra. She turned to see her bodyguard, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression.“Yes?” she said, her voice dripping with slight annoyance.“Remember your mission, ma’am,” the bodyguard said. “You need to get close to Rhys and win his trust. You can’t let personal feelings get in the way.”Cleopatra’s eyes narrowed. “I know that,” she said. “But it’s not easy when he’s so clearly smitten with that… that…”“Elena,” the bodyguard supplied.“Yes, Elena,” Cleopatra spat. “She’s just a distraction, a obstacle in my path. I’ll get rid of her soon enough.”The bodyguard raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, ma’am,” he said. “We need to keep a low profile, gather intelligence and wait for the right moment to strike. We can’t afford to draw attention to ourselves.”Cleopatra’s eyes flashed with anger. “You’re just a bodyguard,” she said. “You don’t know the first thing about strategy or tactics. I’ll do what it takes to complete
