CourageIt’s been a week since Zanky and Sassy began officially dating and living together. These few days have been the best of Sassy’s life. “I planned a dinner date for you my love.” Zanky’s voice sounded behind Sassy who was busy wearing her earrings while staring at the mirror. She could see Zanky’s reflection at the mirror as his breath fanned her neck and her hairs stood at end.“Hmm, really?” Sassy asked, grinning softly at his reflection.Zanky smiled and placed a soft kiss on her neck before replying. “I’m serious, Sassy. This is our first ever date and I need to make it memorable. What do you think about it, baby?” Zanky asked, his arms now wrapped around her shoulders.“Oh my goodness, of course I’d go on a date with you.” Sassy giggled, turned around and engulfed him in a tight hug but made sure her baby bump wasn’t too close to Zanky’s body to avoid hurting her baby.“Alright baby. The make-up artists would be here later to work on you and make you look more beautiful
Rewind."What!? You gave him triple abilities!? Plus a system!?" Zeus almost broke his thunderbolt due to anger which was visible on his face as he glared at Hades."It seems I am truly the most pitiful one. I only gave Ren a non physical ability as I thought this was a fair contest." Arkeus lamented."Hah! Sucks to be you." Orion said. Then he looked at the screen and shocked expression materialized on his face. He felt like he's seen a ghost."Hades! Isn't Vantrea part of Elisium where I sent my candidate? And you even authorized your candidate to kill other 'heroes'!?" Now it was Orion's turn to blow his top."Let's rewind a bit, shall we rewind a bit?"*“Ghost, can you hear me?”Michaelis heard the voice of a teenage girl through his earpiece.“Loud and clear, pink.” Michaelis said while adjusting the tie looking at the mirror. A handsome young man of late twenties stared back at him.“I do look good.” Michaelis grinned at his reflection.“What was that, Ghost?”“Nothing. Has the
Confused“What the hell!?”Michaelis was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box. “What's happening?” He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain. “Huh?”He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him. “It can't be, just relax.”Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again. But even then, nothing was changed.“Am I dead? What was that voice I heard earlier?” he was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and simply make sense out of this situation, he simply couldn't.“Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substance in my blood.” As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he was naked.“Thi
Apologize later“Three more.” Michaelis told himself and stealthily moved towards the remaining snakes while the girl was pretty stunned to see him and the grin on his face as he walked past her, it sent a cold chill running through her spine. He slowly made his way to the three snakes and crouched behind the snake who was peacefully sleeping in the middle without any idea of the threat behind him.“Diddle, diddle we are so little.”The moment he said it, he stabbed the snakes one by one lightning fast. Each of his stabs were precise and deep as the ding sounds confirmed the kills.«Ding!Congrats to the host for killing a body refining stage level 7 cultivator.

The little townGaya seemed like she knew the layout of the forest like the back of her hand. After a few hours of following her, Michaelis stepped out of the forest and finally saw some man-made structures for the first time in this world.“Human, I can only accompany you this far.” Gaya said as she suddenly stopped walking when they saw the huge city walls and a few guards in front of the gates. Since the rain was pouring, there was no one around them.“Why?”“These lowly humans are in a war with the Nagas, if they see me, they will report me to those fucken guards and then throw me in jail.” she said this but looked like she has some alternative way to this situation.“I know you have a plan for this situation, Gaya, spit it out.”She grinned“Hmm, you have some brains for a human, after all. I can merge with you using a special spell I know.”“System, what is she talking about?”«The Host can buy the firewall protection from the shop to protect himself from any items to hijack th
Quest“Young master.”The girl called out to him when she came back with a pouch of coins.“Two hundred silver coins, as promised Young master, please check it.”«Two hundred silver coins.» the system's voice rang in his mind.“No need, I need your help with something else though.”“Please tell me, Young master.”“I decided to take this quest, is there a procedure I have to take care of before taking a quest?”The girl nodded and took out a small form from her desk.“You need to register with the adventure guild, young master. Do you wish to join the guild now?”“Yes I do.”“Wonderful.” the girl revealed all of her pearl white teeth by letting out a wide grin.“Please fill this form, young master.”The form had pretty standard stuff like name, cultivation level, party name, party members.Michaelis didn't plan to form a party as he liked to do things alone and the only reason he was putting up with Gaya was she had knowledge about this world and he could use that knowledge to his adva
UltimatumIn a fairly clean bubble tea shop on Southwell Street in Brentwood City, a stunning young woman, who had a pair of sunglasses and bright lipstick on, threw her sun hat on the glass table and said sternly to the young man in front of her,"Christopher Yard,let's break up!""Break up?" The man who went by Christopher immediately froze as he heard what the woman said and only came to his senses after some time before asking."Why?""Why?" With a sneer, Tina Jones repeated what Christopher said sarcastically."You have no car,no house, and no savings! How dare someone like you-who has nothing to your name-ask me why: Christopher, don't you think this is ridiculous enough? A Penniless wretch like yourself doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend!"After saying this, Tina pushed the sunglasses up the bridge of her nose again, and then continued."I won't bother to waste any more of my time with you. Now, tell me-how are you going to compensate me?""Compensate?" Christopher asked with
ExperienceApproximately two seconds later...«Ding!»The pointer stopped on the 'Knife Skills Option.'[Congratulations host, you have obtained a Knife Skill Experience Scroll. Your knife skill experience has increased by 100 points, and there are 9900 points of experience before the next upgrade,] the robotic voice said."What the actual f*ck?" Christopher was extremely taken aback by the absurdity of the entire situation, so he couldn't help but let out a curse."Can someone explain to me exactly what is going on here?""Knife skills? Experience Scroll? Are we playing online games here?" Christopher felt that his intelligence was slowly leaving him."What about this Ultimate Awesome Online Mall?" He turned his attention toward the screen again.“What the hell could this be?!”Now that the lottery had already been drawn, he figured he should continue studying this thing further without hesitation, he clicked on the 'Ultimate Awesome Online Mall' app again.«Ding!»It was as if an o
