Horns of a dilemma
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I think I am close," Creed grumbled.
Raymond stayed silent, his mind was still filled with rampaging thoughts. He was not expecting things to turn this ugly. He knew that subject will face difficulty with the inflation, but none of his previous subjects were this crazy. None of them could go past 20 tries whereas Creed was still asking for more even after 87th continuous attempt.
"God! This kid is like a bull!"
"He should have fainted by now..."
"Is he not human or something?"
Creed's telling them that he was close lured Jessica into perplexity. She knew how difficult this step was, but she also knew if he stopped now, then there was almost no chance of him reaching the third stage today. His body would not recover from the recoil stress atleast, not for today.
"What should we do now?" Jessica turned at Raymond.
Raymond was silent the entire. Somewhere in his mind he was also aware that this might be it.

Apaurushya Crux of the Problem
Creed went back inside the tank, aware of the fact that the real struggle was about to begin. He faced some failures in Inflation, since he wasn't completely proficient with it. Though he didn't take too long, after 2-3 tries he started getting a hang of it.Even though Creed was faster and tenacious, he was still a human, prone to mistakes. Eventually, after a certain number of failures, he was crossing inflation easily in every single attempt. Creed also noticed that with every successful attempt in Inflation, the scenery was changing in front of his eyes.
Apaurushya The Lantern Of Fear
Creed was having a very difficult time with the third phase: Awareness. But now Atlas had chimed in to share some of his efforts, Creed was somewhat hopeful this time. With a companion, he started gaining his lost hope. He knew Atlas wasn't just an ordinary weapon, but very mysterious and knowledgeable. If it wasn't for his help inside the Abyss, Creed couldn't have climbed all the way up to the surface.Not much time had passed since the time he came back from the abyss. Atlas was not just a weapon, but a being with a rationale. Creed became self-conscious about using him while training, even though he wanted to. As a result, he was still oblivious to the actual extent of Atlas' abilities and intellect.It was impractical to even consider that they could be palsy-walsy with each other just from day one. The awkwardness between them was still deeply rooted within their bond.After getting a heads up from the Atlas, Creed began with the process without wasting mo
Apaurushya Cost of Human Ethics
"Raymond, look at this data!!" Jessica was gazing at the holograms in Raymond's office, "These readings make no sense. Does he not have a pain tolerance in his body? What kind of magic did he pull in there?""No! It's not like that. I checked his brain scans during the experiment. I am sure he can feel pain.""Then how did he pull it off?""I don't wanna be philosophical here, but I guess it's the rare case of what you call sheer willpower. Calculations and mathematics are just tools that throughout history have been challenged by humanity's willpower again and again. And when I said there are stray variables in the experiment, I meant things like this. This kid is very odd.""I see..." Jessica glanced at him again, "Well, since we have already accomplished some part of the experiment. Will you tell him now? Tell him...""..." Raymond said nothing, he tried, but word were reluctant to come out."You have to tell him, that using the ski
Apaurushya Pinch
Three months have already passed. Creed has become much more proficient with his new berserk skill: Catharsis. He has practiced Catharsis with all his might. After butting head with the skill for three months, Creed has understood the skill to a considerably deeper level.During these months Creed was both frustrated and happy.His frustration rooted out of the fact that his new skill was extremely difficult and complex. But his happiness rooted from finding something which can engage him to this degree. The challenges that Catharsis provided during his practice have taught him so many things about chakra he never knew before.During these three months, he has done nothing but practice the skill in Genome Library with Raymond and his team. This seclusion was necessary because learning the skill was impossible without the catalytic energy that V-53 provided. The reagent would act as a constant source of nutrition to his body, which would replenish his heavy
Apaurushya You can call me Phantom!
A mysterious armored-man had saved all of their lives. They had already realized that fighting the vast horde of beasts was not possible for them. Jayden and others were intelligent enough to that now the situation has slipped out of their control. If they needlessly try to act brave, they wouldn't survive.Looking at the situation, they also noticed that even though the armored man was alone, he didn't need their help in clearing out the beast. He was mercilessly burning and slashing the horde. Very soon, the armored man took aim and shot three more times. The blazing heat burned the beast blocking the path and created an opening big enough for them to escape.Jayden and the team gazed at the armored man sincerely. A hint of subtle gratit
Apaurushya Vance's Invitation
Vance had an intuition that if can stay in touch with the armored-man, he could be pretty useful in the future.Vance Sullivan was the son of a famous business tycoon, Bryon Sullivan. The Sullivan family was famous for being the one of the leading force in the metal producers and suppliers. Vance Sullivan was destined to be the owner of his father built Ironworks Company.This was the biggest reason Creed was hesitating to tell Vance his name. He was already aware of Vance's identity. Creed just wanted to be careful around him.Vance packed all the beast's bodies and tied them to his mount that was still standing outside of the cave's entrance. He soon left Creed
Apaurushya A Day With Hannah
This new information about an Alpha-Hybrid stunned Creed. A grin appeared on his face behind his helmet.Inside Glitch, majority of the beasts were categorized primarily into 4 major categories based on their incremental strength and intelligence. Primitive, Non Primitive, Alpha, and Archaic. Each one would be stronger and more threatening than the previous category.However, there was also a different type of beaststhat did not fit into any of these categories. The beasts of the above categories would ne
Apaurushya Aristocratic Status
"Sir, you can't any further!""What? Why?" Creed frowned."Sir, before you can go any further, you need to show us your household's aristocratic status.""What? My family's doesn't have that yet...""You can't go any further. Entry for individuals who are below Imperial Aristocracy are not allowed.""Listen... we just need to get this snack 'Royal Pheonix Cheese Waffles'. We don't have any other purpose for going to the upper floor. The receptionist didn't tell me anything about this.""That dish is exclusive to only with designated Aristocracy.""What are you serious? It's just a snack." Creed clenched his fist hard."Entry is prohibited, these are the orders from our manager himself. Please leave.""You guys are prohibiting me to get a snack because of my status... what kind of bullshit is that?" Creed shouted louder than necessary.Hearing the quarrel inside the shop, several other customers now also started pa

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
Apaurushya Rivalry
"Jake, wait! I'm coming with you!""Mira! You're here too…""Yeah! Just let me come with you… ""Nope! Just stay here, there is nothing much for you to do...I'm gonna get him cleaned, and drop him to his home!""Come on! Don't be like that…""No means no…" Jake shunned her down. "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!" Artemis interrupted, "Also, I could say the same to you! How is, you helping him out any different than me!""Alliance has eyes everywhere… I already got myself involved so
Apaurushya Harsh Reality
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,
Apaurushya Abandonement
"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.
Apaurushya Sucker Punch
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
Apaurushya Who Rips Who
'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
Apaurushya Girth of Blood
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. There was no corner on the stage that hadn't been
Apaurushya Change of perception
"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
Apaurushya Limitless Paranoia
"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
