Apaurushya - The Continuum 73: Get Out
A faint ray of sunshine passed through the glassy window pane and touched a face covered in white bandages. The bandages mainly covered the forehead and the right eye. The brief dance of warm sunshine caused his eyelid to flutter and his pulses to quicken.The patient's whole neurological system, including his throat, was startled by the abrupt increase in blood flow.~cough ~cough ~huff ~cough ~cough ~cough ~huff His chest began to bounce wildly. Shoving his spine forward, forcing him to rise while firmly pushing away the white bed cover that was concealing his waist.Creed sprang from his bed, gasping for air. He was coughing quite terribly. Fortunately, a hand descended on his back and began to thoroughly rub it. Creed also noticed a glass of fresh water in front of his eyes and grabbed it without thinking, drank as quickly as he could."Easy!" A familiar voice bloomed in his ears, "Take light sips… "Creed was startled by the voice and had to turn right thanks to a bandage c
Apaurushya - The Continuum 74: Exchange of Goodwill
"Now I'm officially out of the team." Agenor rubbed his figure on some holographic screen over his watch and spoke casually, "I've decided who will have to take over my responsibility. Would anyone wanna take a guess?""If its Falco, i'm gonna kill myself… " Nakiya uttered with cheeky sigh, "If I don't fear God as much as I fear Falco's leadership…" Colt voice trembled, "Anyone but Falco!" Maira also started chanting blatantly with her eyes closed, "Please dear god…" Falco rolled his eyes at their tongue in cheek comments."You motherfuckers…" He cursed at the three, "Hahaha.." Agenor cut him off before he could say anything, He Continued, " Colt!! You'll be taking over after me… "Everyone, including Colt's eyes, widened as he heard Agenor's words. "Wait! What?" "Well!" Agenor smirked as he looked at Colt, "You are the most eligible candidate for the job… ""Most eligible… what the fuck man? What about Maira? If anyone, she should be the next leader!" "To be honest! My first
Apaurushya - The Continuum 75: Uncovered Holes
Agenor formally resigned from the team and left. Creed discovered after a few observations that it had been 6 days since his admission in the hospital. His biological clock and circadian rhythms were severely disrupted as a result of his injuries.Nonetheless, Creed was fortunate because it only took 6 days. If it was anyone else, his injuries would have kept him out of commission for at least three weeks. He had broken multiple bones, His joints had completely shattered, had wrecked his right eye, been dangerously poisoned, and overworked himself to death.Fortunately, one of the benefits of being a hunter is that one's body continues to recover faster than the average individual. Furthermore, Creed's metabolism and physique were constantly boosted by the strange liquid of the abyss, Vyom. A few nurses on the ward were horrified by his body's catastrophic rate of recovery.Creed's voracious hunger shocked them even more. He was irritable after waking up since he hadn't eaten anything
Apaurushya - The Continuum 76: Sword Orbit
Furthermore, Creed's modifications and refinements to the Hollow vector altered the entire overall composition. The method appeared to have nothing in common with Hollow Vector on the surface, yet at the core, vector rendering fundamentals and momentum bifurcation principles were actually inherited from the core of Hollow Vector.In other words, Creed invented an entirely new method by leveraging the basic concepts behind the Hollow vector. It's also important to remember that using two blades simultaneously was not unheard of. There were a lot of different combat techniques that did it. However, Creed's high paced vector rendering and his inhumane application of his caliber were what made this new technique exceptional.After realizing the potential of this new combat style, he decided to use this new technique as his signature move for now on. This new skill would distinguish him even more from Phantom. Naming the technique was the next step.'Hmm… what should i call it from now ?'
Apaurushya - The Continuum 77: Payment?
Two young men stood next to each other in front of a massive glass ovular table. Several people were seen sitting on two adjacent sides of the table.Surprisingly, at the farthest end of the glassy table, opposite the two young men, sat a woman who leaned forward ever so casually, her palms interlocked and her elbows glued against the crystallized glass. She seemed to be holding the aura similar to the head of the family at the dinner table.She rested her chin on her interlocked knuckles, while keeping her eyes closed as if she was taking a sweet nap. Concealed dark circles were visible around her eyes.Yet, her glossy lips and giant hair bun burst and bewitching flavor to her facial features. None of them uttered a word. Soon enough, the woman seemingly taking a nap opens her mouth without opening her eyes,"So you're saying that a nameless, statusless, unknown clanless team with merely 7 team members out of which none of them belong to any clan, gave—the elites of 4 different clans
Apaurushya - The Continuum 78: Man's Paradise?
Creed returned home after a heated argument with Briteny and went straight to his room. He didn't want his mother or sister to see how badly he had wrecked himself this time.Although they had both come to terms with the fact that hunting in Glitch is a dangerous job, he didn't want to add to their concerns. As a result, he wanted to remove the smell of the hospital from every inch of his body and clothes.He packed his dirty laundry and placed it in the corner after a quick bath. He appeared to be in a hurry as he changed into his clothes. Jumping left and right in order to get a leg through his boxer shorts as quickly as possibleLater, he sat on the floor of his room and pulled out 2 ragtag notebooks from the metallic cupboard right next to his bed. He grabbed both notebooks and pen and started scribbling figures and words in the middle of the notebook."Well! It worked much better than my expectations.""Unfortunately, I didn't realize that practical compatibility was still lacki
Apaurushya - The Continuum 79: Exhibitionists
Surprisingly, none of these participants were men. The entire floor was brewing with women's scent. All of the women had a sensual and confident charisma. These women were all in their prime. This was no less than a man's paradise.Interestingly, the elderly woman was wearing a little earpiece that also served as a microphone. Their grunts, attacks, and vocal taunts were all audible and visible to the whole crowd. The mature older woman might seem old, however, her shoulders, biceps and calves couldn't be more ripped. The black silk gown she wore accentuated every curve of her body. Despite her age, her abs and toned biceps ozzed frothing strength and her vein burned with a vitality of a warrior. "Come on!" The elder woman roared in frustration, "Seriously… How many times should I tell you to go right, duck and parry through! Scoot right, duck… and parry through! Is it that hard to follow?"~huff ~huff"Lady Ellen, the patterns are extremely complex! The horrifying momentum rattle
Apaurushya - The Continuum 80: Trending #3
On the official Glitch portal, a collective bombshell was brewing and hitting the official portal like a gigantic wave of tsunami. For some reason, several discussion threads on a few posts were stacking up as if there was no tomorrow.Most of these posts on the forum were about the top clans, their news about new recruitment drives, their latest profitable hunts, or some useless clan feud posted by high paid, cunning content creators to harvest and monetize views or polarize public opinion. Interesting and engrossing these cunning posts might be… but surprisingly today all these posts have plunged into lower rankings in the trending category. Instead of these clans and their vip shenanigans, today only two posts were most discussed and give attention to two. The post that ranked 3rd in top trending was a video posted by some random user with a title that said : [ Trending #3 - A CLANLESS SWORD MONSTER BULLDOZED THROUGH AN ARMY OF 10 THOUSAND GHOULS GHOULS ALL BY HIMSELF!

Apaurushya - The Continuum 108: Blue Sun Dojo
A few days later inside the archery facility, Target 101, Kendrik was still busting his ass on the endurance range. However, today for some reason, he was more enthusiastic than ever. Although, his expression told that he was really struggling but the subtleties of his body language during the practice hinted otherwise.Though his limbs were twitching with pain, body drenched with sweat, and veins burst with blood rush, regardless, he was still humming as if he was enjoying his training regime. This shouldn't come as a surprise since he was finally noticing some changes in his shots. Over the past few days Kendrik noticed that his accuracy has slightly increased and he has finally gotten a hang of the customized training regime. This training regime was extremely taxing but after everyday's practice and consistent effort he realized that starting from scratch—as Creed advised—was not bad advice after all. He was also diligently taking the pill that Creed prescribed, and coincident
Apaurushya - The Continuum 107: Threat of a Geno-Script
Creed walked out of the medical facility feeling despondent. He was undoubtedly thinking about the discussion that he just had. He continued to mutter to himself, agitatedly. "What a stupid facade…""And what the hell was I even thinking?? Of Course, she's not gonna tell me shit!! This must be what they call the classified information!! Not to mention that grumpy old man was also sitting right there gawking like a freaking viper!!""Meh… Whatever!! It doesn't matter… At least, now I know that there are more variables in the picture.""Argh fuck!!" Creed cursed under his breath, slapping his forehead with frustration. "What was I even thinking, promising that scumbag Varun a favor? I got nothing in return... what a waste of time!!"Creed went back to his home with no leads at all. Finding 'Eos' and getting him to talk about his unusual weapon was his only lead. Unfortunately, with him leaving without a trace, Creed was out of options now. Nevertheless, one thing was crystal clear. If
Apaurushya - The Continuum 106: Shunya?
Varun stared at him for a few seconds before smiling, "If you are that desperate, alright fine. But don't back off later, or I'll shank your ass in your sleep.""Just take me to her," Creed ignored Varun's warning.Varun led Creed to another floor, and as they walked, Creed couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the efficient, advanced, state-of-the-art equipment in this medical facility. This facility had by far the most efficient, advanced, state of the art equipment available to humans. It reminded him how difficult it was to bridge that gap between privilege and non privilege.Compared to this, the hospitals available to the general public were absolutely garbage. Creed was creeped out by how well funded, and well designed this facility was. It almost seemed as if he arrived like a planetary hyperspace launch station."So this is what true aristocratic privilege looks like?" Creed whispered, "What'd you say?""Uhm… I said… I've never seen a hospital like this before!
Apaurushya - The Continuum 105: Favor
Creed opened his straining eyes pulsating with throbbing agony. As the vision grew slowly, he could see nothing past the blur of lights and shadows. He tried to move his limbs, but a sharp pain shot up his arm. He groaned in pain. All he had were the brief flashbacks of memories from the night before. The Formless beast, the Serpent Woman, and most importantly, Eos' daunting trickery.He tried to move, but he immediately felt restrained. His naked body was wet. His body was completely naked and afloat in a viscous fluid. His eyeballs jittered once he saw the silver edges of curved encasing. He was trapped in a box like a barbie doll.Panic flooded inside his mind when he realized he was inside a bionic pod. He knew what had happened to him? Creed immediately struggled against the restraints, but they held firm. Soon, he heard footsteps approaching, and a door swished open."Ah!! Mr. Gryffon, you're awake!!" A voice landed in his ear. It was a woman's voice, calm and professional. "Hm
Apaurushya - The Continuum 104: Uncanny Idiocy
The serpent woman's spine-curling screams pushed even the Formless beast to his limits, causing him to reconsider his position in the hierarchy of dominance, as they served as a warning and clear indication of the carnage she was capable of unleashing.She issued an open threat against the formless beast that he must not take another step forward. This situation was way beyond Creed's caliber. ~GRRRARGGGGGGHHHHSoon enough, the formless beast also roared on top of his lungs. His killing intent directed at the serpent woman forcefully standing between him and Creed. Both creatures relentlessly tried to force each into submission but were also greatly wary of each other's powers.Creed was encountering a clash between two superior predominant entities. The last thing Creed wanted to do was fuck around and find out. Right now, His atoms in his body were screaming at him to run away but his body was in dreary paralysis because of her presence. However, the next second, the snake woman
Apaurushya - The Continuum 103: Intrusion Of Numen
With a roar, the ferocious beast charged at Creed, its killing intent crystal clear. Creed's heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for impact. His sword sliced through the beast's flesh. But that was not good news, but quite the opposite. As Creed's sword locked inside the creature's body, the beast taunted him with a cruel grin. Creed's heart sank as he realized he had made a fatal mistake.The cunning bastard rendered his sword orbit completely useless with his flawless strategy by letting him dig his sword into his own non vital organs. Creed's hair stood straight behind his neck as he understood how intelligent this abnormality was."Fuck! Is this it?" ~huff ~huff ~huff "I guess… I bit more than i could chew— "Before Creed could finish his sentence, his breaths turned shallow. The beast viciously ripped his arm from his shoulder. The beast then slammed him to the ground with such force that Creed felt his bones shatter beneath him. ~arggghhhHe wheezed much oxygen
Apaurushya - The Continuum 102: Caliber Of Death Bringer
The next instant, Grisha's eyes were splashed with His blood, which finally forced her to return to reality. She was even more surprised by Creed's frantic scream."LIEUTENANT, SNAP OUT OF IT!! I CAN'T HOLD HIM FOR TOO LONG!!!""You change your mind??" Grisha yelled, "Now is not the time!! Just FUCKING DO SOMETHING!! Don't make me regret my decision!!"Grisha's eyes changed to the deepest shade of purple the following instant. Her eyes radiated an atmosphere that was more viscous than molasses. The earth beneath her feet darkened, appearing to be on fire.A rhythmic shockwave erupted and spewed noxious gas into the air. A razor-sharp crescent slice spread into the air, illuminating it with a neon brilliance. The sword stroke struck the beast in the chest, pushing him away from Creed.She appeared right next to Creed and pulled him up from the ground. "How long does your berserk skill last?" She asked, "5 more minutes! then i'll probably pass out!" Creed answers, "Yours?""6 minute
Apaurushya - The Continuum 101: The Only Escape
Grisha let out a bellow of frustration, "Shit! I have to go back! We need to help him!"Creed's mouth twisted into a sinister grin. "No! Wait!" he hissed. "This is our opportunity. Let's run, Lieutenant. We can't handle this anomaly. But now, while it's distracted, we might be able to slip away. It's our only chance.""You heartless bastard!" Grisha spat."What?" Creed jerked his head in surprise."You're going to leave him behind?""Why not?" Creed nodded immediately. "I did everything I could! But it didn't work out. What else can we do here but save ourselves?"Grisha clicked her tongue in vexation. "I'll never understand you. What if he has a family waiting for him?""Lieutenant, stop wasting time. That creature is no joke. If we stood a chance, I would have helped, but we don't. Besides, I don't even know the guy. Why should I risk my neck for him?""You're despicable. ASSHOLE!" Grisha jeered, "You know what? Just fuck off... I'll help him myself."Creed's eyebrows twitched viole
Apaurushya - The Continuum 100: Bringer Of Death
"For fuck's sake, Lieutenant!! It's my soul radix that's keeping him paralyzed! Happy now?" Creed replied in frenzy and ran like a lunatic, leaving them behind, "Trust me we are still within his reach. Stop with the questions and fucking run!!""Oh Crap!!" Grisha immediately understood why Creed was pressing them to run. "Should have told us earlier, you idiot!!"Grisha, realizing her stupidity, grabbed Eos by his arm and bolted forward once again. The ground caved inside with her feet from the impact. However, just after taking a couple steps she felt a claw sinking deep inside the armor's back plate reaching all the way to her spine.Blood gushed out like a fountain, as if a dam had burst within Grisha's body, staining the ground crimson and creating a pool of death beneath her. Eos was frozen in shock for a moment, but the sight of her bloodied back snapped him out of it. The beast was so close that its foul breath rubbed against his neck, draining the life out of veins. He wanted
