Justin put two star crystals on the table. They were almost as big as his eyes.“Hoho,” Penny took her glasses off. “Now we’re talking. Let me appraise these.” She sent a light ray through a magnifying glass so that it fell on the crystal. This resulted in revealing the ability of the crystal. Both the green crystals displayed visuals inside the crystals as to what powers they held. “These two crystals have the ability to enhance one’s digestion and healing abilities. They will also allow you to spit powerful acid through your mouth. It seems these crystals belonged to green goblins you encounter at the entrance to the second floor. Do you want money for them, or do you want to exchange them with other crystals?”“I would like to exchange these with fire attribute crystals,” Justin quickly said.“Fire, huh,” Penny flicked her wrist, and a small pouch appeared in her hand, startling everyone. “Don’t sweat. One of my abilities is to create small pockets of space which can store material
The six woke-racoon thieves jumped down and shot their weapons.An aerial shield formed above Myles and blocked all the attacks, startling them.“I’m not in a good mood,” Myles brought his hand forward, and a mini-tornado formed on his palm, you little shits.” The tornado grew in size and not only destroyed the barrier but also swallowed the raccoons along with it as it traversed out of the alley and kept growing in size with every passing second.The woke-animals with wind abilities got together and counteracted and managed to nullify the tornado before it grew any bigger.Meanwhile, Myles coughed out blood. His eyes were turning blurry. The spiritual seal intensified and began to make him convulse. The power crystals fell out of his hand.A couple of teenagers who came that way saw him and rushed into the alley. Myles was bleeding from the mouth and was even blinking, but after seeing the power crystals, their eyes enlarged. They quickly took the crystals and ran away.Myles could o
When the street dog entered the scene, the bandicoot bailed. The street dog was so hungry it didn’t even sniff the human lying on the ground. It directly bit his foot with all of its might. It viciously shook its head, trying to rip a chunk off.“What the hell are you doing to him?” an old woman just entered the alley and was shocked to see what the dog was doing. Despite her arrival, the dog didn’t let go of Myles’ foot. This angered the old woman who was none other than Penny. “Hundred Kilo Crush!” She waved her hand downward, and an invisible pressure pressed the dog down, forcing its belly to hug the ground. It let go of Myles and howled in horror. “Yeah? It’s just a hundred kilos, so stop overacting!” she came over and kicked the dog’s face, making it go silent.She removed the pressure, and the dog skedaddled with its tail tucked between the legs.“Now, what have we here?” Penny squatted down and checked Myles’ pulse. It was there.“I closed the shop early because I profited tod
Myles’ face swelled in shame and anger. He kept glaring at Penny.“What?” she indifferently asked. “You got hit by a woman before or what?”“Kick me again, and I’ll—” Myles was saying, but she kicked him in the face again. Myles couldn’t believe it. He should have seen her kick coming from a mile away, but he couldn’t tell that. Not even a bit. This made him frown deeply. (Don’t tell me… the spiritual seal has bloomed after I passed out? Did it completely seal my powers?) He quickly sat up and began murmuring something.“Mm?” Penny wondered what Myles was suddenly doing. “What are you doing now? Are you trying to muster some kind of energy?” she shook her head. “You don’t get any power from meditating, dude.”Despite her words, Myles still kept mumbling.“You hear me?” she snapped her fingers, but again, there was no response, so she slapped him.Myles was forced to open his eyes, which visibly gained red. “Hit me again, and you’ll regret it.”Penny sighed. “It seems nothing I say to
Despite how human lives were treated outside the wolf city, humans were put on the pedestal within the city walls.Even in the saber ward where Justin and others were staying, they were given respect no matter where they went. The woke animals generally treated them like the humans were above themselves. And there was a reason for this.The first and foremost rule of the city was: Respect each other regardless of the race.So, the humans also had to respect the woke animals. Quarrels between two humans or two woke-animals were taken lightly, but quarrels between a human and a woke animal would immediately result in prosecution of both parties. Both sides would generally end up paying a fine.Currently, Casey and a woke-cow were being prosecuted in a public court, where the judge was the warden himself. He was a woke-sabertooth cat with a huge build enough to intimidate most people.“I’ve been telling you that I didn’t do it on purpose,” Casey was trying her best to not tell at the wok
Justin and others headed to the ward center. However, all of them stopped near a warehouse, as they saw Myles carrying rice bags. This left everyone in surprise. Why was someone like Myles working as a mere porter? They couldn’t comprehend it. Most of them didn’t want to go and meet him, but Justin went up to him.“Hey, Myles, are you busy?” Justin asked from a distance.Myles, who was carrying a large rice bag on his back, stopped and looked at Justin. “One second.” He hurriedly dropped the bag inside the warehouse and came out. “Where are you guys headed?”“To the ward center. To get our IDs. Want to come with us?”“IDs? You mean the identification cards?” Myles asked.“Yeah. How did you get the job with an ID card?” Justin couldn’t help but ask.“Well, I told them a joke, and they happily let me work for today,” Myles smiled. “I needed the money to pay the entrance fee to the dungeon, so I’m working here.”“What kind of joke got you the job?” Justin curiously asked.“The owner of t
After working for ten straight hours, Myles was paid 2000 dollars and a bonus of 200 for his exceptional work.Myles also was given a free meal at the owner’s house. The woke-ram, Rockell, then competed with Myles in the garden. They headbutted, and Myles ended up losing.Myles also suffered a forehead injury, which profusely bled. He was treated by Rockell’s wife.Rockell patted on Myles’ back, “You’re a really hard worker. Seeing your speed, I thought you'd break your back in an hour, but you surprised me. I would love to hire you permanently.”“I don’t have the intention of working like this in the future,” Myles plainly replied. “I will enter the dungeon today. I’ll be much stronger when I come out.”“Haha, I like your confidence. Let’s compete again after you come out of the dungeon.”“Sure, but you won’t be winning for a second time.”“Mehmehmeh,” Rockell laughed out loud. “We’ll see.”Rockell, being the owner of a rice mill, was a rich guy in the neighborhood. Though he didn’t
Entering a dungeon alone…This wasn’t the first time this happened in Myles’ life.He first met Vreka, his wife from the past life, in front of an ice cold dungeon, where winds whipped so harshly, skin would tear off people’s skin. In such a harsh place, despite being wounded severely, she was standing outside, as if waiting for someone to come out. When he asked her, she told him she was waiting for her mother who couldn’t escape from the deadly million monster dungeon. Myles assured her he would bring her mother out if she was still alive. She didn’t believe him, as her ten-membered group was all wiped out except her and her mother. They split up to survive, but only Vreka made it out. Vreka was already quite strong by then, but the million monster dungeon was still on another level. So, she wasn’t sure if her mother would make it out alive.“It’s not something you can do all on your own,” Vreka still told him. “Don’t waste your life.”Myles vanished from her sight, and five seconds
