Her bright face had several traces of dirt, and her pupils were still rattling behind the closed eyelids. She had messed up hair and dirt on her face, but her lips were surprisingly clean with a pick shade. Jia Ning looked extremely innocent while sleeping.

While others were focused on making breakfast, Jia was still snoozing under a tent. Her facial expression kept changing as if she was having a nightmare. Though facial muscles relaxed gradually and a lingering scent of warm food jolted an awareness inside her. Soon enough, she woke up sniffing a sweet aroma.

"What—" Jia opened her eyes quickly and jerked her head to turn around. "Where am I?"

She quickly walked out of the tent and noticed some familiar faces around her. All of them were having breakfast near a burning bonfire in broad daylight, on top of which a poorly constructed earthen pot was bubbling and simmering with an appetizing aroma.

"Good morning, Miss Jia," Frankie greeted her as soo

    "What kind of godly precision is that?" Varun was a little surprised after seeing his brother blown away. "And when did she put the bombs inside her mouth? Or did she--""She had it inside her mouth the whole time!" Grisha smiled while looking toward the arena. "A sneaky trick and an impressive execution!"

    Inside a dark passage, Jia and Creed were walking with dimly lit glow sticks. They didn't know if they were walking on the right path or not. The path was extremely quiet, they could hear only their steps in the swamp. Desolate darkness and the awful smell of rotten carcasses filled the passage.The events under the lost tomb in the 'Cursed-valley' again didn't come out in Jia's favor. She and Creed were with the group but now they got separated from the entire group. Earlier when she was exploring the tomb with the entire group and they all had reached a very peculiar room in the tomb.Everything was fine, they were hunting some easy beasts until a giant spider attacked them out of nowhere. Even with his giant frame, the spider wasn't that much of a danger to the group. But the situation turned grim suddenly when it pushed Jia inside a large dark hole in the ground. The spider attacked her she lost her balance and fell inside.After Jia fell inside

    "Wow!! this Mayhem Saber looks very cool." Creed mumbled as he peeked inside his mind palace. "I wonder how powerful this is..."He had killed the Mayhem-Sealcroc and was quite happy with his gains. Jia was still on his back, sleeping, while he was dragging himself in the shallow waters of the tunnel. Her face had a dark complexion hinting her tiredness. The encounter with Sealcroc had made her loose her entire strength.Creed was frustrated too because they have been walking non-stop in the abyss for around 20 hours now. There was no end to this place. He felt as if they stuck in the dark passage for a very long time. His legs were also reaching their limits.For everyone, Chakra was limited and its activation was just a quick power-up. Chakra activation was not an acceptable solution for situations like this. After opening his root Chakra, his body was much stronger than the average human, this was his only advantage that he had. Still, his mind was reac

    Creed was diving deeper towards the submerged city, as quietly as possible. 10 mins had already passed, and though he was allowed to engage in battle now, he still didn't believe he could away by agitating the beasts. These beasts were too strong for him.He tied a firm knot inside his mind to not come under their radars. He felt lucky since all those in his sight looked deformed and lesser intelligent beasts. He was sure he could sneak past them. Jia was sleeping comfortably at his back like a baby. He had to forcefully cripple both of their presences as thin as possible.Though Creed was not the best in his saturation ability, these kinds of covertness-based skills were always at the back of his hand. At the heart of his innate-strengths lived fearful anxiety born from his most humiliating weaknesses. After realizing his disabilities in the glitch, he had no choice but to forcefully and zealously develop his talents towards hiding, escaping, and running in times of c

    "What the hell?" Creed gulped a mouth full of saliva."How am I supposed to react to all this? Who is this person?""Okay!!" Creed took a deep breath."I have to Calm down! Let's recollect things again... She said something about some kind of 'Collapse' and 'God of the End' and she also warned about some kind of curse!!""Now the real question is, what did she do to activate the curse? And when she said Gods, is she talking about the deities? Or some other beings of the universe? And where did this Neptune person came from?""And most importantly, who the hell is this 'Paurush' fellow? I feel like I've heard his name before!"Creed's pupils shrank as if he remembered something. "Shit!!! isn't this the same guy Lady Luna was asked me about? Something is definitely going on."After the recording ended, Creed noticed a blinking arrow appeared on the glass ball. Creed remembered that she said something about wanting to give away her weapo

    When Creed touched his left ear, he felt a painful sting. His hand was dyed red from his own blood. Creed finally understood why Neptune left the scissors locked inside. It was not just a simple weapon, but it was a sentient weapon.The temperature dropped certain degrees inside the room, Creed's felt as if his every move was being watched. Creed's breathing became congested. The dense aura the blade was released was not something ordinary.Creed asked, "Who are... No! What are you?""Why should I answer you?" An intimidating voice countered his question."Anyway, you have no qualification to ask me that! ""Why did you attack me out of the blue?" Creed's eyes turned ominous.For a second Creed felt like a cornered cat. He intuitively knew that situation was not in his favor. If Creed hadn't dodged the attack miraculously, he wouldn't have survived."Why are you asking me that question? You were the one who called me a 'useless weapon'

    "Are you guys being lazy or something?" Creed scratched his head in confusion. "Why is that beast still alive?""Dude, at least give us some time," Samuel retaliated at Creed's comment. "We will kill it in 5 more minutes.""But you had three... " Creed was about to say something, but he halted and asked. "Wait! What did you say just now?""Didn't you hear me?" Samuel spoke bitterly."I said we need 5 more minutes to kill it.""How long have you been fighting it?" Creed asked suspiciously.Samuel looked at him with a frown and spoke. "Why? I don't know, maybe around half an hour. We’ve been fighting it non-stop since you both fell inside…"Bonnie was also troubled by Creed's question. "What happened to you? You don’t look so good… are you okay?"Creed did not look at them. His mind was in absolute disarray. He never imagined that the place he accidentally fell into would be so remarkable. Neither did he didn't

  • Apaurushya   Who is the new guy?

    After completing his exploration with Jia, Frankie, and others, Creed took his leave and came back to the public shelter. He put the 'Soul Crystal' he got from killing the 'Mayhem Sealcroc' inside his room along with the ring. Overnight he got a new living egg. Obviously, he had no plans of stopping his beast synthesis process. His innate saturation was still low, and this was the only way for him to gain saturation points quickly.Creed came back to his home planet 'Zerg'. He was free now until the next month, so he decided to spend some time honing his skills inside the virtual space. He remembered that Golden Butterfly had promised to tell him about some hidden aspects regarding Odin-Space. He again logged inside the Virtual Console. Though after checking for 'Golden Butterfly', he was disappointed since he didn't see the green dot beside her name.Still, Creed decided to challenge some random opponents. He again went with the masked settings, which he liked very mu

  • Apaurushya   Disclaimer

    Hello Readers, Thanks for staying with me for this long. I know this is sudden but making you all dangle for a petty frequency of uploads is just too cruel. That's why I have decided to mark this as a conclusive checkpoint i.e. mark this book as completed. Been a wonderful journey so far. Every comment I have seen or read (good or bad) has brought a froth of emotions that drove me to write my heart out. In my eyes, as a story, Apaurushya has proven itself as a story with a potential of unimaginable horizon. Every character has surprised me by their actions. Each of them have a life. Almost as if I don't need to write them; they can write themselves. Nevertheless, this isn't the end. We haven't even scratched the surface of what really lies there beyond the ungodly boundaries of these Akashik space anomalies. If you wanna connect, bug me or l

"both of you just stay put…it's better that way. He messed with the alliance, so it's best you keep your distance for now.""Don't worry about me!"

    Creed felt a numbing headache from all the lights that ravaged his vision. One of his knees immediately gave up and kneeled on the ground. Fortunately, Jake grabbed him by his shoulders before he could fall down."Argh… come on… Stand straight you idiot…""Fuck you! I'm trying, asshole… give me a break!""Serves you right, fucker… " Jake replied with a grunt, "Nobody asked you to throw your sword at her when you're bleeding from your ass! Fucking show off…""Show off, that's what you think?… I was trying to kill her!""Kill her! Seriously, dude, what's gotten into you?" Jake frowned as he dragged him forward. "Better, keep your anger in check. If it wasn't for Miss Luna and me,

    "Just do what I say…" Luna's domineering voice broke from the sheer rage, "Or I will cut that bird and shove its head inside your ass."Creed's hair on the neck stood up, and he gulped a mouthful. He immediately turned around and limped back towards the cage in haste.As he saw the Little gobbler almost passed out from exhaustion, a sense of urgency rose. He arched his back to an extreme and swung his right arm.At the last moment, his mayhem saber appeared inside his hand. The saber hit the cage and a loud mechanical screech boomed in the hall.~CLANKUnfortunately, Despite Creed using so much force, the cage did not break. The horrifying sound of metal made Little Gobbler tremble inside.

    With his unrestrained perception, his eyesight has been giving him trouble with the information overload. Because of this, his brain has temporarily blurred his vision this entire time. He couldn't see the people who interpreted the battle, only the dark shadows that were too close to him. Creed has been fighting while completely dependent on his other senses. However, just from the brief exchange, he subconsciously understood that this wasn't enough against the one who stood in front. The sheer rage has pushed him beyond the edge. Creed's vision was so dark and dingy that he couldn't even see his face in such a close combat. His brain was a complete mess and volatile perception had put him in an aggressive state, almost like a machine programmed to annihilate whatever comes in front. All Creed could see wa

    'So she has ascended too…' Akash murmured to himself, 'bad! This couldn't get worse... Gryffon… What are you going to do now? You better run this time...' The pressure that burst out was something Akash and Kiara were already familiar with, because the intensity was the same as his own rhythm. This kind of pressure could only come from a person who has ascended from the boundaries of bhu-lok. Kiara and others were also freaking out right now. Artemis and the four siblings' faces have turned pale already. They all understood that this just might be the end of this entire thing. There was no way Creed could stand up to her. His level of power was far too low compared to hers. Even with his berserk skill, catching up to an ascended individual is just not possible for a mere elite, no matter how strong. The best cour

    A lustful blush appeared on Grisha's cheeks and a huge smile appeared on her rosy lips. Her chest tightened with the shock waves that appeared. She rubbed both of her palms and blew into it."So this is what she gave birth to… the blood doesn't lie… I just never noticed… A fire that burned him into something else… he isn't just a chakra freak anymore… he never was… He is what he's always been…""The son of Queen..."The entire went numb when they bathed under the demonic intent oozing out of the blade. The dazzling sparks that burst from the clashes burned into the eyes of the observers.Not just Creed's blade, but his entire body shined with glimmering scarlet.

    "I ask you again!" Creed shot a glare, "Which one of you touched my bird?"The man coughed the ground with his bloody organs. The stage boiled under the tension undefined in all senses. Yet, Dollar Twenty and the other five stood unfazed by the turn of tables.However, amidst the chaos, the audience's guts flipped upside down. Both McConnell and Jiang siblings felt their lifespan shortening.Artemis' eyes turned teary. Her ears burned red when she saw gallons of blood gushing down from Creed's head, dripping all the way to his chin.Kiara, Akasha and Grisha looked at the scene with tightened chests. A razor-sharp sensation crawled inside their blood vessels. Not just them, but several hunters from the crowd now had their undivided focus on the unbridled escal

    "Little… Gobbler…" Every hair on Creed's skin stood up straight. His very soul almost rejected his body, and images around him dulled to a standstill. He could hear his heart thumping inside his eardrums. A chronic corruption leaked into his eyes when he heard Dollar Twenty start the bidding. "The bidding for the High-Tier Inca Aves starts with $300 Thousands!" "$350 thousands!" "$400 thousands!" "$450 thousands!" "$500 thousands!" The sound of chatters began to fade out. Creed vision blacked out and a high-pitched siren hijacked his eardrums. His pulse spiked up to a gh
