"Go now. I still have to choose what I'll wear tonight. I'm going to miss you, Maru." Olivia said after 15 minutes of rocking her baby on her chest. She knew that Maru was not asleep and only cherished being lulled into relaxation by the safety of her arms.
"BANG!" the door of the room flew wide open as a girl with a sparkling dress flowed inside in haste.
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" the girl roared because she was mystified by the scene she saw and thereafter a lovely pout appeared on her cute lips.
"MOM!" the spoiled yell came out once more after she had been neglected of a response from the three occupants of the room. Her mother only smiled at her with no words spoken. In her eyes, she saw love that
Maru was tired of anyone getting on his good graces and asking favors left and right. This woman most of all, has no right to ask something from him at this moment, especially after what she had done earlier. He did not forget that he was violated and raped by this woman. Even if it felt great for him, that won't excuse her action one bit."Draw your friends' images into a piece of paper and pass it to me." Maru commanded the woman. Lucy could barely breathe at all and has only afforded to move her head in a slight nod and nothing else."Hah hahh hahhh!" deep breaths echoed loudly as Lucy regained the ability to taste the luxury of having air in her lungs again. She was terrified of the boy. If he had this power earlier, then how was she able to do what she did? Doubts an
"BANG!" a bloody figure cannoned into the ground. The blinding line that originated from the heavens succeeded in its mission. The ashes of one person spread outwards as the winds scattered its remains."PATRIARCH!" the elders then moved from inaction to check on the condition of their founder. Everything happened in a flash. From order to mayhem occurred only with a single breath taken. Everybody was shocked to see the council chambers break into pieces. This was one of the most secure places in the family with countless formations and precious resources allotted on its creation."BOOM!" Before anyone could go near the fallen site of the Patriarch, a new emergence of power took place. The land shook and everyone froze on their spots. Nobody even dared to breathe loudly i
"So you see now. I was right." a gorgeous lady walked in on a seated giant. It was of a man, of humanity changed and transformed into something else entirely. A true spectacle of power in static form."Indeed." a single word uttered by the man that gave off a deep tone of masculinity as he gazed particularly at the jar between the two items that was delivered."So when will we make a move?" the lady with ashen eyes asked when she stood beside the man and mirrored his gaze unto the curious gift."You mean when will I make a move? HAHAHA! Micah, you never change. You think that I don't know that you're using us as your pawns to pave the way for you. Very wise as always. HAHAHA!" The giant of a man roa
"Or you can ascend, Micah. I see no good result out of this obsession you have. You can start anew in the next world." Leo suggested to one he can call his best friend."And taste the life of a bottom feeder? No thanks, Leo. I will stay here for all of eternity and enjoy the apex of power in my hands." Micah said and swallowed the resting wine in her cup with one raise."Hmmm." Leo muttered in thought and drained his birthday gift a day before the celebration."So what will it be, Leo?" Micah asked after the jar was truly freed of its contents."Is there a need to ask again, Micah? I shall not risk my neck for such futile ende
"It is the way of life, Maru. The weak perishes while the strong lives on. To use what's available for the sake of surviving and to grab for the limited resources out there with one's own hands, it is the behavior of a true cultivator. Nobody wants to get stepped upon or taken advantage of. This is why we cultivators fight." Fade answered in length and said her beliefs about how this world works.She remembered her life as an assistant cook and reviewed what she did since becoming a cultivator. Nothing has changed. There were still those above her in status and power. Thus, she continued living and forging her path towards her freedom. And to be free, she needed power. Fade needed to become stronger."That's a sad way to live, isn't it? Why do cultivators need to struggle
"Welcome to our humble sect, Your Excellency!" an old man greeted Maru the moment he entered the Vestal Virgin Sect."Welcome, Your Excellency!" the united voice of the mass of peoples behind the old man roared that shook the skies with its ferocity. Combined auras darkened the morning light in an intense show of might. The spiritual forces released out flowed towards the ranges of the walled palace and even beyond."Thank you." Maru briefly said and tried to count the population that gathered in his front. He stopped looking at it after the first five million as the system continued plotting the data of the numerous cultivators before him. What took most of his focus was the gargantuan works of arts that furnished the sect in style. They were akin to the construction of
"Do you want to dance again, Your Excellency?" Yara asked with a lovely smile on her face."Yes, yes. Let's dance again, Yara! HAHAHA!" Maru exclaimed after the one dance they shared. It cannot be called a simple dance. It was more of an expression. A state where nothing mattered but your partner and the singing of the notes around them. It was amazing! Maru was excited about this form of art. Time stood frozen for the duo as they swept the floor with their flowing feet and swaying arms. Up in the air and down below in level with the seated audience, they had roamed entirely undisturbed."HAHAHA! I never knew that dancing was this fun, Yara!" Maru's voice rose above the music that filled the place. The tender slow groove was replaced by the constant rocking of rapid melod
"The City of Antavale is a good city, Your Excellency! But it could not compare to the exquisite cuisine and premium liquors of a sect." Sect Master Caiden safely replied. He did not want to belittle the city of origin of this boy."I know that now, Sect Master Caiden. I also know that drinking is more fun when you share it with someone else." Maru said and smiled at the old man who joined him for a whole day of drinking."It is my job as a good host, Your Excellency!" Sect Master Caiden replied to the boy. He could determine that the seemingly weak and innocent boy before him was indeed a mighty cultivator. Comestibles such as this huge divine animal served in the table left of them would need at least a Human Realm Expert to digest or he may find himself exploding with
