"BOOM!" the shadow was crushed instantly and the devastation did not pause there. A silver blaze formed into a net that chained the rapidly escaping soul of Juan Pedro.
"NOOO!" was the last roar of the soul that didn't belong to that particular body. He had underestimated the current reality he was in which had brought upon his demise.
"Good morning, Miss Lopez!" the children inside the classroom greeted their newly arrived teacher.
"Good morning class! Okay, take your seats. Our lesson for today is all about foreseeing the future. Get one whole sheet of paper and write how you see your life fifteen years from now." Amber Lopez gave her instruction
Words filled the paper and unknowingly even marked every space of its back part. The hand and thoughts of Juan Pedro orchestrated a blitzing display of skill.It looked like witnessing a beautiful painting in the making as each stroke held a purpose to the whole. The words were clear and its message strong.The vibrant written paper was a masterpiece itself. It was art in its truest form."Did I write this?" Juan Pedro was shocked after he was done with his work. He read the paper on his hands again and again.When the umpteenth time came, disbelief was visibly w
The falling sun took him into the depths of the mountains. Juan Pedro needed a quiet place to discover what really happened within him. These didn't just occur out of some random chance. There has to be a reason for this, he thought.When he reached the top of the mountain, it was already pitch black. Nothing could be seen with the naked eyes but Juan Pedro could see everything as if the sun was high up in the sky.He could alter his vision to different shades of brightness until he concluded that not a thing could escape the eyes that he had now.Then he sat under a tall coconut tree and closed his eyes to listen to where his instincts guided him.
"HAHAHA! You've really been fooled good this time, son. This was a favorite modus of mine when i was younger. I remember eating on restaurants and would give dirty paper with winning numbers inside it as payments. It got me off the hook every time." Fernando Jose thought fondly on his youth.He looked once on the digits and was about to throw the trash away. But then he decided to retain possession of it. He had fooled many persons before who extremely wished for luck to be theirs.Fernando Jose understood them all too well. When you're sick of being poor, no matter how little the chance is, you would grab at its tail end just to have a sliver of hope to the pot of gold you sincerely wished for through every waking moments of your mi
"That's good, son. Here is your dinner for tonight. Don't give it again to another beggar on the street. It's not bad to help and give aid to less fortunate people than we are. But at least don't let yourself starve in the process." Fernando Jose reminded his son, Juan Pedro."Hahaha! I will keep that in mind, father. I'll be going now. Bye!" Juan Pedro bid his farewell as he went out of the house. The happy laughter eerily lingered for a moment before it was gone in a flash.________________________"Why did you not come last night? Do you want to quit selling my eggs? Is that it? Are you already rich, Juan Pedro? That you don't want to work anymo
"Hah Hahh Hahhh..." deep breaths resounded within the small structure of the house."Did we lose them, son?" Fernando Jose asked after he caught his breath. His hands trembled and his legs shook at the adrenaline rush that flowed along his body."I can't see them, father. I think that they gave up on chasing us." Juan Pedro answered."Where's my wallet?! Do you have it with you?!" Fernando Jose said in panic. He could not think what he might do if he lost this chance to riches.God has given him all the luck that could last him a lifetime and it would be laughabl
"Good afternoon! What can I do for you?" the manager of the bank started when he saw the three came to his office."We're here to make an account and deposit some money. We'd also like to encash part of the check." Ramona answered as was decided beforehand. She was an expert in this field and thus made her an able representative of their interest."Please take a seat. Make yourselves comfortable." The manager offered to his prospective clients."How much are you going to deposit, Ma'am?" he added after the guests were seated and waited for an amount. He expected a hundred thousand at least.
"We're back, father!" Juan Pedro announced their arrival. They were on a convoy of two vehicles featuring the latest off road machines of transportation, Avos Land Cruiser that costs 30 million pesos each.His father wanted to own and drive a sports car but he decided against it because of the condition of the road of their town. It was a bumpy ride to have that type of car around."Yes, my son. We are indeed back." Fernando Jose muttered and saw the hardship of life around. It never changed, he thought.They had only been away for more than four weeks and he'd already felt the longing of this lands. He loved this place. Fernando Jose lived and wil
"Are you alone?" It was class recess and Juan Pedro went to the school canteen for the first time in ages. He could remember that he'd never bought food in this place before in his constant lack of money.It was time to make a change, he decided."No, I have a friends coming over soon." the person Juan Pedro asked answered him with nary a glance in his direction."It's a vacant table. Let me accompany you while you wait for your friends to arrive." Juan Pedro replied and directly sat in front of the girl.She was very beautiful. In fact, he had fantasized over he
Maru was more than happy to take a break from everything—even from the responsibilities that came with his many wives and his realm-shaking reputation. Escaping into the mortal world for a time was like a breath of fresh air, a rare chance to experience life without the burdens of status and power.As he adjusted to this new identity, Maru sifted through the memories of the young man whose life he now occupied. The memories painted a bleak picture: this young Maru was impoverished, scraping by from a family with little to their name. For someone accustomed to wealth, influence, and resources beyond mortal comprehension, this was, to put it mildly, inconvenient."I’ll have to change that," Maru muttered to himself, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He strolled down to the nearest gas station, where he purchased a lottery ticket with casual confidence. With a bit of energy concealed within a playful flick of his finger, he ensured that fate would work in his favor. A week la
A trillion years had passed, and Maru had truly ascended to the highest plane of existence, becoming the undisputed master of the multiverse. He had mastered every grand dao, and his name was whispered across countless realms as the supreme ruler.The laws of reality bent to his will, and even the flow of time itself was nothing more than a tool for his amusement.The past, present, and future were his to shape as he saw fit, and the myriad daos—once elusive and untamable forces—had become his loyal servants, bowing at his feet.No corner of existence was beyond his reach. Universes rose and fell on his whims, stars burned bright and were extinguished with a mere thought, and entire civilizations either flourished or crumbled at his command.Maru's power was absolute, his authority unmatched, and yet, after countless eons of this existence, he found himself feeling something he had not anticipated—boredom.He had seen it all, lived through it all. Every challenge the multiverse had to
In a mystical world within the body of an immortal, a great ruckus was happening. “Master! It has appeared once again!” A good disciple knelt on the floor. He prostrated before his teacher which had given him his everything in short. This very man had saved him in the past and until this day, he has not forgotten his pledge of allegiance and service to this person. The disciple was content in doing so. He had no ambitions for himself, only to the happiness of his benefactor. To call him a slave was much more fitting than a disciple in this day and age. “Gather all your brothers and sisters. We shall go at once.” An aged man answered with a serious face on him. He was old and full of wrinkles. His age almost to the limit of what could be achieved with his cultivation base. Nevertheless, the majesty of his stance was a perfect picture of what a true powerhouse truly was. This man had been alive on this world for more than one thousand years already. It was both an accomplishment i
“Speak.” An old dying voice replied. His body seemed ancient alongside the timeless aspect of his voice. Perhaps the only consolation that could be found on him today was the quality of his cultivators robes. At first glance alone, anybody that has eyes could easily determine that it was not made of poor materials at all. This old man was of course the master of Dragon Conqueror Pavilion. “There was a group of people looking a specific cultivation manual earlier, master. They wanted Soul Birth Realm training scrolls.” Kong Jin reported. She knew that the implications of her words would not be lost on his smart master. And indeed it was not. “DING!” The old man opened his eyes and one could notice the blazing fire in them. The atmosphere in the room immediately surged up and this has made the beautiful Kong Jin tremble in place. But reaction was not out of fear but surprisingly because of her extreme excitement. Thousands of sexy ladies like her dreamed to hug the thick thigh of t
The team arrived into the city of Aren way more than just 3 days. In fact, it took them almost 1 week before they saw the mighty gates that protected the place.But after the initial excitement, Maru and company was not anymore harassed by anyone on the road.It appeared like news has traveled fast about the demise and fall of one very strong Core Origin Realm at the hands of our very own protagonist.The weary adventurers got inside the city of Aren and enjoyed a well deserved rest thereafter.Ye Lim went to sell the extra items they got off the loot while Maru was already busy thinking ahead. He was not one to waste his time at all.“I want you to gather information about a cultivation technique for Soul Birth Realm Culti
“HAHAHA! I’ve been alive on this world for hundreds of years and had seen smart tongues like you in legion. I will enjoy watching you suffer in pain, dumb young maggot.”The newly arrived Core Origin Realm Cultivator promised darkly unto our very own protagonist. Maru took this threat in silence.He would of course not waste his breath upon somebody who did not heed his advice from the start.“Kill every single one of them but leave the foolish young master alive.” The Core Origin Realm Cultivator instructed his minions.“Hehehe. You can count on us, master!” The band of robbers replied in chorus.“DING!” Alas, a sudden change came before anyone could move from this point forward.“AHHHHHHHHHH!” A pillar
“Please take care on your way, Hong’er.” Ye Hanya said unto her son.Even though she knew that Ye Hong was already more than capable enough of taking care of himself but it was always a mother’s job to worry for her young one.She really could not be blamed for that at all.“I will, mom.” Maru smiled at his mother. He then looked at Ye Jia and nodded at his old man.The latter was a lot more confident and composed than Ye Hanya and it could be seen from this act alone on how Ye Jia became the Patriarch of Ye after all these years.His strong character was only the least of his myriad qualities. “Let’s go, Yin Lan.” Maru called and before long, a beautiful woman p
Maru arrived at the Ye domains. At once glance, he could see that there were more people inside it than when he left. It was obvious that there were more homeless and poor citizens of Whitecrest who chose to seek refuge in the clan. His parents Ye Jia and Ye Hanya knew of their son’s heart and thus gladly accepted to feed and give shelter to these people. From the initial 1,000 hapless souls, the count had already five fold at this time. Fortunately for all, the expense of having these families was too insignificant for the rich Ye family. But if these 5,000 men, women, and children were to be cultivated then that was a whole nother matter entirely. Resources like spirit stones were extremely limited even for a big clan like the Ye. “It’s been two long years, huh?” Maru smiled and began walking in slow steps towards the large
A year passed in no time. Maru remained seated in the void and continued to refine the extreme power of the sun.He needed no more physical supplements like food in order to survive since what sustained a Soul Birth Realm Expert was the natural panacea for the soul.These priceless treasures may be found in divine lands or they could be artificially nurtured through the creation of magical pills.Thus, the times when our restless traveler would devour several tables of food was already long gone into the past.“BANG!”999,997th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”999,998th Stage of Soul Birth Realm!“BANG!”
