2024-10-29 19:42:56Many of Justin’s bones broke in the face as he got utterly knocked out of his senses. Kong was still going, even though blood was flying everywhere.
“Hey,” a chilling voice entered through Kong’s ears and penetrated his heart like the sharpest needle out there. Even his bones felt the sting and shivered a little. Before he realized, he had already stopped punching.
“What the—” he looked to his left, and there was this young man in shitty clothes staring at him with not-so-friendly eyes. “Who the fuck are you?”
“The water of a river is for everyone to drink,” Myles stated calmly.
“What?” Kong looked more annoyed than puzzled.
“The cheek of a crook is for everyone to slap,” the moment the words flowed out of his mouth, Kong felt a slap that shook his brain. His feet moved a couple of steps back, and his hand touched his cheek in response. His ear made a nonstop buzzing noise. He looked at Myles who was standing still. He knew for sure Myles just slapped him, but he couldn’t even see the slap coming. He gritted his teeth and rushed forth, but again, a slap to the other cheek, sent him shuffling back. Both his cheeks turned red now, and his face was full of embarrassment. He couldn’t see the second slap coming either.
“W-Who the fuck are you?” Kong’s tone was completely different this time. He had a deep frown on his face, his eyes overflowing with anger and hatred for this young man with attractive golden brown hair and a handsome face, a combination Kong lacked and so he naturally frothed with hate.
“You’re not worthy to know my name,” another invisible slap made Kong hug the ground. Even though he was knocked out, his knuckle dusters were still on flames. Myles then glanced to his right and saw Casey’s new husband who started running away.
Minutes later.
Kong woke up to find himself in the middle of the street, completely naked. His knuckle dusters as well as his clothes, including his underwear, were gone. The people that were around began snickering and giggling.
Kong knew it wasn’t Myles and Justin who stole his things and that it was the citizens, but he still blamed Justin and his friend for it.
“You messed with the wrong person, Justin,” Kong thought of Myles. “If I don’t make you kneel in front of me before the night falls, I’ll change my name!”
About a mile-and-half from there.
Justin and Myles were sitting in the shade of a roadside tree. Justin was fully healed, and he still couldn’t believe how easily Myles had healed him. “If it’s you, I think you can easily get a job in the Confronters, or the Defenders, or even the Hunters&Gatherers.”
Myles just smiled softly. His eyes shifted to the old man who was teaching poor kids on the footpath, using a wall as a board.
“Many decades ago, a flaming sable star came shooting down from the sky and crashed in the oceans and contaminated the waters all around the world,” the old man explained with simple drawings but with a dramatic voice. “The creatures in the oceans were affected. When the rains fell, people who drank the water or came into touch with it began to change in many ways. Plants and animals, too. Even the ground and the minerals themselves went through a change. To put it simply, the entire world itself has gone through many changes. Back then, almost everyone used to be a mage, but now, only about 55 percent are even qualified to be mages. And the number of mages is going down while the number of the aberrant land, sea, and aerial creatures and hybrid creatures is still going strong. At this rate, if all the aberrant animal kinds we collectively call as Critters were to unite and attack us, the entire humanity could very well be wiped out overnight.” His words sent chills up and down the children’s spines, and some of them strongly said that the Alphas will fight for mankind and defeat the monsters. “I hope so, too. TheAlphas and the Omegas are our only hope.”
Justin also found himself listening to the old man’s lecture until now. When he came out of it and looked to his front, Myles was gone. He should be sitting on the opposite end of the public bench, but he has vanished now. “Where did he go?” He looked around but couldn’t find him.
In a nearby alley, Myles was stumbling and took the support of the wall so he wouldn’t fall down. He coughed, and his palm was covered with his blood. And a thick stream of red liquid also dripped down from both nostrils.

A heavy truck fully loaded with second-hand clothes stopped in the outskirts of the city. Children and adults swarmed in and emptied the truck in a matter of seconds.Among those who obtained clothes for themselves, Justin was also there. He managed to snatch three pairs of clothes, but one was a woman's, so he gave it away to a needy lady.They asked the same woman for towels before putting on the remaining two pairs. They were just simple T-shirts and jeans. Nothing too fancy.Myles had removed his underwear and tossed it away.“Why did you throw it away?” asked Justin, unable to control his curiosity.“Isn’t it obvious?”“No, it’s not.”“These pants are too tight,” Myles complained after putting the jeans on. “How’s air going to pass through the pants at this rate?”“Heh, why do you need air to pass through your pants?” Justin chortled.“To keep your hair and skin healthy,” Myles replied. “And this is also highly uncomfortable. It’s too tight for me.”“Well, if you call this tight,

Utter decimation.That would be an appropriate way to describe what the explosion resulted in. Even the metal frames of the palanquin melted away.It looked like there was no chance of anyone surviving that grand explosion.At the ground level, Kong was laughing. “Haha, you are superb, Defender of Fire!”Standing close by Kong was an old man in his sixties, with a cannon barrel for an arm. He was Sukazu, a Veteran Beta mage. His face was full of dark spots, and he breathed fire through his nostrils.“I expected some fight, but it was boring,” Sukazu said, walking away. “I’ve got a meeting with Aqua Double, so I’m leaving.”“A-Aqua Double?” Kong was slack-jawed. “Aren’t they Alpha mages? C-Can I come along? I will disappear once I get their autographs, I swear!”“I don’t mind, but watch your manners around them.”“Sure, sure.” Kong excitedly tagged along and reached a public stage where a lot of people were gathering. “As expected of alphas from Liger city. They are attracting quite so

Justin lost all hope of living to see another day after the vines bound him and squeezed his bones and the breath out of him.It wasn’t just him but everyone else there struggled the same.Myles was also no exception. He even bled from the mouth due to the pressure. (Damn it. My body…)“A trash like you killed my son?” Amir growled at Myles. “I don’t believe it!” The vines squeezed the people some more and broke some of their bones and killed them then and there.Cutting water attacks sliced through the vines and freed the rest of the people before worse happened. “What the hell do you think you’re doing at our event?”Maria and Rosie stood in between the crowd and Amir.“Aqua Double,” Amir’s tone was serious. “You have nothing to do with this. Get lost if you don’t want to lose your lives!” He waved his hands and sent forth vines out of his fingers.Maria constructed a water spear and a shield. Rosie constructed a water sword, and they cut off all the vines that attacked them before

“R-R-Rosie Waters is your wife?!” Justin gaped at Myles in disbelief. “W-Why didn’t you tell me? W-Wait,” he briefly glanced at Maria, “does this mean Maria Waters is your mother-in-law?” he started gasping. It was too much for him to take. One alpha was his wife, and the other was his mother-in-law? It felt so unbelievable, then again, having seen Myles’ strength with his own eyes, it was also understandable to an extent.“What happened after you took the A-rank escort mission and went to the sea?” Rosie asked, stepping closer. “It’s been over three months, and we’ve been looking for you everywhere. I thought you were…” she came closer and hugged him tightly, shedding silent tears. “I’m glad you’re still alive.”Myles didn’t know how to respond. Should he tell her he wasn’t Phil but Myles? He wanted to, but she seemed too emotional right now.“I told you he’d be alive,” Maria wiped the corners of her eyes with her knuckles, though she didn’t really shed any tears.Rosie grabbed Myles

Justin was sitting next to a patient’s bed. The patient looked weak and terrible. Black scales began to appear on his arms.“Is he poisoned?” Justin’s countenance turned dull. “He healed my disease, so why can’t he heal whatever that is plaguing him?”Rosie walked into the room with a sad expression. Her mother had already explained Phil's situation. She just stood by the wall and kept watching him in silence.Justin could feel her sadness, and so he couldn’t even say a word for a long time.“What did the doctor say?” he asked, but Rosie didn’t respond. (Is it that serious?) Rosie looked dull, so he wanted to say something to better her mood. “How did you two meet each other?”Rosie briefly glanced at him. “What’s your name?”“Justin,” he quickly responded. “Justin Alves.”“Justin Alves… why don’t you mind your own business?” she bluntly said.The smile on Justin’s face vanished. He was hurt by her words, but he didn’t take it to heart. He could understand that she wasn’t in a good mo

“What do you mean you’re not Phil? Did a screw go loose in your head?” Rosie asked him, her brows furrowing together.“Why would there be screws in my head?” Myles was a little confused. “I’m not a puppet. I’m a human, and I have free will.”Rosie raised her eyebrows. “Okay?” (He definitely hurt his head somewhere. Now it explains why he didn’t return to me. At least he remembers me, so that’s a good thing.)“Your Phil is gone. What you are seeing is a different person. Do you still want me?”Rosie paused for a little before speaking, “Of course I do.” She hugged him again.Myles’ lips slowly bloomed into a simple smile. It felt good to be hugged by a woman who was worried for him. Her vibes soothed his soul. Her scent was so comforting probably because he was in Phil’s body. According to Myles, winning a woman’s heart was much more difficult than winning over the world. So he felt a bit lucky for receiving such love, though he also felt sad for Phil who had died.“By the way, Phil,

Justin was dreaming while sleeping in the chair. He was playing the scenes from his past, and the signs were clearly there, even though he had refused to see them clearly back then. Casey, his ex-wife, was dating multiple men at the same time back then, and he thought he was competing with other men in order to marry a beauty, but now, he wondered if Casey kept contacting all those men even after marriage. It didn’t matter to him anymore, but it still hurt him and made him realize that he should closely observe everything that happens around him in life, or he would end up making mistakes like this again and again. Justin was suddenly brought out of his sleep from a pain that gripped his head. “What the-” his sudden response also surprised Myles. “Is it headache?” Myles asked. “N-No,” Justin replied without thinking while rubbing his forehead. “It felt like a current had passed through my forehead. Never felt like this before, but wait…” he just realized that Myles was sitting up. “

“Loose underwears?” the shopkeeper looked at Myles from top to bottom. “Did you watch some ancient movie or what? Why do you suddenly want a model that’s no longer in production?”“No longer in production?” Myles’ eyes bulged. “You mean… I won’t be able to find air-free underwears anywhere in this world?”“Well, I don’t know why you want to wear them, sir, but I think you can just buy small shorts and wear them as if they’re your underpants,” the shopkeeper suggested.“T-That’s a good idea!” Myles felt better all of a sudden. “Why didn’t I think of that?”“If not, you can custom-order the loose model online,” the shopkeeper added, “but I’m sure they’ll ask an unreasonable price from you. For example, this simple underwear costs about 9 dollars, but the loose ones might cost you a hundred or more.”“I’ll adjust with small shorts I think.”“Good, then let me show you my shorts’ collection.”After a lot of trying and testing, Myles bought six pairs. He paid the shopkeeper by giving him M

Aero’s attack was deadly enough to easily kill a group of individuals without them even realizing what happened.The table where Myles and others were sitting was utterly destroyed.However, nobody was harmed because Myles had warped them a few meters away at the last moment. The only being he didn’t warp was Dusty.Dusty took the attack head on and was injured just a little. “This is…” he didn’t take more than a second to understand who it was. “Don’t say anything and just run away!” he shouted in ant language.“What nonsense are you talking about!” Aero attacked him with his spear-like limbs. “Her Majesty trusted you and sent you on a mission, but here you are, eating sugary things!”“You idiot! I didn't have any other choice!” Dusty defended himself. “I was forced to work for these humans!”“Shame on you! How can you work for humans?” Aero grew all the more aggressive. “You surely deserve to die!”“Who is that bastard?” Sercy asked angrily because part of the cafe was destroyed by

General Aero of the Battle Ants leaped toward the two old timers and used his jelly-like body to set himself on fire, causing a nasty explosion that covered almost a hundred feet in every direction.It was so hot the ground cracked and the metal melted.Aero used this opportunity to fly away fast. Some automated machine guns recognized this intruder and shot at it, but Aero was able to easily slip past the bullets and flew away into the distance, covering a mile per second.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stepped out of the explosion, and Wise Servant sucked in the explosion and contained it in her single hand and squashed it into nothing. The compressed flames no longer existed as a candle light would turn off.“Are you going to go after that thing, or do you want me to go instead?” she asked him.“You’re the wiser one,” Sweet Beggar picked his teeth. “So you should go, since you decided to let that little ant go.”“I thought he might lead us to the one that escaped last time,” she rep

Outside the forever S-rank dungeon where the Battle Ants were present, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stopped playing chess and started drinking a strong tea made out of boiling many potent green herbs.And both of them felt energized and relaxed right now as they sat laid back in their chairs.Wise Servant lost in chess once again. She had been trying to win just one game of chess against him for so long. She grew experienced enough to be easily called a grandmaster of chess, but still, she was not able to win against Sweet Beggar just one more time. All she wanted was for him to forgive her and say ‘I love you’ just once more.Both of them had long crossed 100 years of age. So, they weren’t thinking of sex or anything like that. They were purely thinking about each other’s souls.Wise Servant had already beaten him 999,999 times, but she really wanted to win another game; however, Sweet Beggar didn’t make it any easier for her. He remained ruthless all the time so that she couldn’t e

In the dungeon swarming with ants of all kinds numbered in trillions, with more of them joining the ranks as seconds passed by, this dungeon was becoming more and more of a threat to the very existence of not just the Venture city but the very existence of humanity.The queen of all ants, Queen Wiggles, was currently crunching on wafers and looked to be in bliss.“Mm… these are the best things I’ve eaten in a while,” Wiggles looked at the captain ant that brought her a single packet of wafers. “What are these things called?”“Wafter, Your Majesty,” the captain ant kept his head and antennae lowered.“Water… it’s crispy, sweet, and easily melts in your mouth,” Wiggles was drooling. “I think I can eat a mountain of these. Why did you bring only one of these?”“The guy that entered the dungeon had only one of these in his bag,” the captain ant replied.“Oh, I thought you managed to leave the dungeon and then come back inside,” Wiggles said. “But some fool entered the dungeon, huh.

Sercy found an A-rank healer, but he asked for a lot of gold in order to heal Judas and Glint because it wouldn’t be an easy task.“Instead of money, I’ll give you the spoils of an A-rank dungeon we’ll clear,” Sercy told him.“That’s even better,” the healer happily agreed to it.After forming a contract, he came to the Dawn guild to heal Judas and Glint. However, when he approached Judas, Judas attacked him by grabbing his throat and lifting him up.“Who do you think you are…” Judas coldly said. “Did I give you the permission to heal me?”“Judas!” Sercy unleashed a flaming punch and struck his face, sending him flying into the wall right next to him. His head went halfway through the wall. “How drunk are you to attack a guest who came to help you!”Judas pulled his head out of the wall and spat a few pieces of bricks out. “I’m not drunk, Sercy. And I don’t want to get healed because I’m perfectly fine.”“No, you’re not fine. You are mentally disturbed,” Sercy blurted.“Hmph, you thi

In Basil District.Sercy and Ria were heading toward a certain address.“Why did we have to travel so far?” Ria expressed discomfort without hesitation. “Couldn’t you find any healer near our district?”“I could, but I doubt they can fully heal Judas and Master Glint,” Sercy replied. “Judas has been drinking a lot. I’m sure his liver and other organs are not healthy. We need a proper health potion that can improve his health significantly. And Master Glint also needs to drink a health potion because he’s not eating properly.”“His daughter died long ago, so why is he still depressed?” Ria asked.Sercy glanced at her with a bit of a surprised look. “You lack emotional depth. Were you not raised by your parents?”Ria frowned. “Do I have to be raised by my parents to know a father’s love?”“...Not really,” Sercy said. “Some lives can be explained by pen, but some… only by pain. By emotion. If we haven’t experienced the same emotions ourselves, it’ll be hard for us to put ourselves in oth

The glass cube was torn open like it was jelly, which genuinely dropped Sercy’s jaw for a second.Dusty was also not expecting that at all, but he grinned as he unsheathed his sword, ready to attack Myles. However, just when his eyes looked up and his gaze was set on Myles, he suddenly felt invisible pressure crushing him down from every direction.Myles was not even moving his eyelids, but Dusty couldn’t move. In fact, his body was trembling slightly. (What’s this feeling?) He looked very anxious. (This regal aura he’s giving… It’s as if I’m looking at Her Majesty. No, perhaps, dare I say… he’s even greater than Her Majesty Wiggles?)“Myles!” Sercy yelled. “How did you do that? I mean, how could you do that!” She quickly caught Dusty with her hand. “What if this little monster is more dangerous than we think?”“Then why are you holding it in your hand?” Ria asked.“B-Because he’s like a little doll,” Sercy said. “I feel like squeezing him to death.”“Eeek!” Dusty was terrified by her

Myles and Ria came to the canteen while Biskie and Casey were so tired and beaten they had to take rest in the basement training grounds. Myles wasn’t the one who fought them, but they fought each other to the extreme just to test them and so wounded themselves a bit too much.“Our guild has good core fighters now,” Sercy told them while they were eating crunchy leaf burgers. “We only lack a good healer. If we can get someone who can not just heal the wounds but also boost our skills, it’d be wonderful.”“Someone who can do those things will be in high demand,” Ria opined. “Do we have enough money to recruit such a person?”“Money? Screw that,” Sercy snorted. “I want someone who will willingly work with us and share our burdens and not expect too much in return. I don’t want those types that go after money and fame as they cannot fit into anything. They are only going to abandon you when a better opportunity knocks on their door.” She then looked at Myles. “You explored some districts

Dusty stealthily entered the guild building, expecting there to be tight security. However, all he found was an old man mumbling something in his sleep.“What’s this? They have the dragon king’s item, and they’re this relaxed?” Dusty frowned. “Are they that confident in their abilities, or are they just that stupid?”Nevertheless, he kept his guard on and traveled in the hall while using the objects as his cover.He saw Sercy who was loudly talking at her reception desk.“I’m telling you that I will buy those lands!” Sercy was shouting. “Sell me those infested lands, you bastards! If you do that, We’ll become ghost-venerers for you and clear three dungeons of your choice in the next year. How does that sound?”“Five dungeons for three years is okay for me.”“Three years is too long, and five dungeons is too much,” Sercy said. “Three dungeons and one year is final.”When a dungeon breaks, the nearby lands and environment get corrupted. This would cause the value of that land to drop, e
