Apaurushya - The Continuum 9: Negotiation
"I've never seen something like this before... "Rolin pupils dilated as he stared at the digital chart hovering over his head, "Are you really sure that this arrow has only been used 8 or 9 times…""Yes..""What about your bow? Is that broken too?""No.. my bow is fine!""Unbelievable.." Rolin murmured in bewilderment, " I am seriously at a loss of words!""Why is that so hard to believe?" Creed questioned,"Because that is not how a bow and arrow works! You see… the amount of tension these arrows have gone through is no less than insane. Technically, this is what you call strain beyond a sustainable threshold. But I wonder why your bowstring is not breaking even with such intense pressure?""My bowstring?""Yeah! I mean… from all the information I have so far. I can surely tell you that raw strength is not the real culprit here because if it was the case, your bow must also be broken."He continued, "Hence, It's not just your raw strength that shreds your arrow… There is also some kin
Apaurushya - The Continuum 10: Obsession
Two days after Creed's return, Inside an archery facility on planet Zerg, a girl in her early 20s was standing outside the closed door. She kept glaring at the board with a huge sign that said 'torrent gauge chamber' in bold letters. A lightweight metallic bow was hanging on her shoulder while she held a bag filled with god knows how many arrows.She was standing at the gate of the Torrent Gauge Chamber, waiting for the door to open. A timer kept ticking next to the door. However, her eyes were focussed on the second's hand of an analog watch-face of her quantum watch. With each successive tick, she got hasty. "57… 56 … 55… 54… " she kept counting while gazing at the digital clock.Several thoughts were racing through her mind. 'Why is the door closed?''Shit! If it wasn't for that beast horde, I wouldn't have been stuck in the glitch for three days… 'and why is this place empty all of a sudden?''Did something happen when I was out? … Guess I'm really lucky today…"With every tick o

"Hello! My name is Creed Gryffon. Good to see you again!""Again? Do you remember me by any chance?" Britney asked,"Yes, of course! It was only four months ago… I asked for your bow for a baseline reference, which made you suspect that I was some bow sniffing pervert, if my memory serves right.""Oh yeah!" Britney remembered the entire scenario, "..that happened… sorry bout that!""No worries, it's not like I'm not grilling you or anything… but yeah! I do remember you!""Cool! So what are you doing here? Are you joining as a new member? Yes! You should definitely join! You know I've been trying so hard to beat master Hugh's record, but you beat me to it first, so i should give you a compliment at least…coz you know because I'm not a sore loser."She continued with sparkles inside her pupils, "But dude… that shot you made was freaking fire …how the hell did you do that? Is there some special technique coz if it is, then I'm definitely interested in exchanging some pointers with you. We
Apaurushya - The Continuum 12: Mental Bond
Creed had returned from planet Varaum-91C only two days ago. Yet, instead of taking a break, he decided to visit the archery training facility - Target 101. Four months ago, he had made a deal with master Hugh that if he could provide any lead in solving his excessive strain problem, then Creed would have to join his facility as an instructor. He was forced into this deal and wasn't quite thrilled by it, but he had to agree to the condition because Master Hugh was the one who recommended him to meet Rolin. Creed never knew how Master Hugh happened to know Rolin, but he knew they had been doing business with each other ever since the time Master Hugh started his Training facility on Zerg.In fact, Rolin was the one who came up with the idea of the Torrent Gauge Chamber. He even sent him the blueprints and architectural design patterns at a marginal cost. Not only that, every bow and arrow that Master Hugh has in his facility was designed or at least modified by the Darthar brothers.Th
Apaurushya - The Continuum 13: Scars
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but… I missed this rabbit hole!" He smirked as he walked out of the teleportation base.Without wasting a single beat, Creed rushed towards his rented room in the public shelter and put on his hunting kevlar. The grim smell of lingering blood and leather ruffled several memories of panic, hysteria, and adventure. Although it only lasted four months, it felt like forever.Creed put on the kevlar and left the flat. His fingertips danced over his watch, pulling out directions to a specific location. He looked at the time and rushed.He pulled up his cloth mask and jogged the entire way until he reached a standalone building away from the prime area. At the edge of the public shelter's inner boundary, desolate from buildings and liveliness.A familiar lavish tavern finally panned out in his vision. This was the same tavern where he met all the 'Rha' members for the first time. He was heading toward the restaurant with a rational mind. It was about time he
Apaurushya - The Continuum 14: Farewell
Creed could feel the cold gazes on him while he was sitting on one corner of the table. He had already greeted them with a warm smile, yet surprisingly, none of them had yet said a word. They all just kept staring at him as if they wanted to murder him right this second."Come on, guys! That's enough…" Colt was the first one to break the awkward glaring contest, "Stop with those annoyed looks… that's no way to act on a reunion!""Four months of forced inactivity… " Falco hissed as he took a sip, "and nobody has yet told me why we had to bodyguard that god forsaken killing machine… I fucking hate this.""Falco… we have been through this already " Nakiya sighed, "You know those were master's orders… why are you so pissed all of a sudden?""Yeah.. yeah… master's orders! My ears will fall off if you say that one more time." Falco jeered, "The reason I am pissed is because master is just being tyrannical."He continued, "Besides, If something bad happened and she wanted to put a choker on
Apaurushya - The Continuum 15: Wreak Havoc for all i care
"Now for the most important part. We will soon be having a hierarchical restructuring in the party. Agenor is about to ascend to the next glitch very soon. He is leaving the team and the next mission will be his last mission. He's been in the team for as long as I can remember and has done a magnificent job all this time. Sadly, it's about time we say our goodbyes.""...""Oh! Man… this really sucks!""… Agenor is..leaving! Crap…I'm not ready for this!""Fuck me!""I fucking hate this…"They all turned towards him as if struggling to process this depressing information. Unfortunately, Agenor had a consoling smile on his face, hinting that Luna was speaking the truth.Although, this shouldn't have come as a surprise because everyone's time inside the glitch was finite. However, the points in his heart chakra were 95, only 5 points away from becoming a full fledged heart chakra seeker.Sadly, Glitch inherently rejects the individuals who come close to opening the heart chakra. Breathing
Apaurushya - The Continuum 16: Some Freak
Now that the next hunt location was disclosed by Luna, Creed felt his mind being swamped by the weight of all the preparation he needed to do before the collaboration hunt began. Despite all the adrenaline inducing pep talk, it was obvious that Luna has involuntarily set the bar too high. Creed knew it wasn't as easy as it sounds. In order to occupy the majority of the total gains, they would need some kind of over the top strategies. In fact, this goal was close to impossible. There will be at least 6-8 teams that will participate, bringing the total body count over 100. Besides, this wasn't the type of situation where he could just kill-steal everything and run away.At every step of the hunt, he and others will have to hog most of the kills, making it seem like everything was a coincidence when it was pre-planned. Creed's head began to hurt like crazy, he had no idea how he could ever make this happen. Most of his weapons have been lying dormant in his room in the public shelter
