Artemis took a brief pause this time. Her surreal eyes shook in their sockets and her thin throat dried up. She had her eyes facing the ground the entire time. She soon gulped hard before opening her mouth again.
"Creed Gryffon, I think I have fallen for you. Would you please go out with me?"
"Eh!!!"
Creed's soul almost escaped out of his mouth the very second, he heard those unreal words. These words hit like a truck that almost knocked him out unconscious. The way she made such an embarrassing yet bold confession, his introverted core froze into a stone.
'Wait! Am I stupid? No way, she said that… This might be another prank. Or maybe there is some other way to interpret this! 'Go out with me' ...hmm… I guess she wants me to accompany her somewhere. Yes, of course!
Hey lovely readers. I'm trying to put a little cheesy (yet hopefully non-cringy) touch on the story. This could go downhill because I have no experience writing things like this I would love to know what you think of Artemis as a character.
Creed was walking on the streets of the posh area of public shelter with dreadful expression, he had been caught for murder.His right elbow rested over his left arm while he constantly bit the knucklebones of his right fist. Inside his mind, his peace and serenity were already destroyed by this current situation.He was not a complete introvert, but he loved his solitude more than anything. However, now a huge wrench was dangling over his head. While he could already feel his peaceful world crumbling into the dust, he also heard unrestrained laughter coming from the bearded douchebag walking beside him."Hahahaha!" Colt giggled beside him, "That was hilarious… What a show!"Creed didn't say a word, just kept walking with a sullen face. His heart screamed to land
However, the Glitches' influence finally rubbed off on the masses and the inequality created huge friction between the clans and the clanless, forcing the entire humanity to go through an era of revolution. Although Creed had seen none of that, his mother had told him about that time.Three-fourth of the entire human population revolted against these bureaucratic constructs and secrecy over combat techniques that were enforced by these clans. The amount of recurring bloodshed and losses they gained from the insurgence even forced some clans to cease their operations and disband.Ultimately, against the sheer number of clanless individuals, even the top clans were forced to withdraw their tyrannical control over most of their advanced combat techniques, skill, and even genome scripts.Soon, several techniques w
Creed finally teleported back to Zerg. His mind was drenched in one of the most migraine-inducing dilemmas. Out of every bizarre thing, he never expected that a girl 5 years older would latch on to him like this.If his mother gets to know about this, she would definitely not take this in a good way. He knew that his mother had several steadfast ideologies that would disapprove of a relationship that was not mutual from both sides.In fact, if she even sensed that some random girl had forced her son to be in a relationship with her, she would definitely bulldoze her way to her enormous mansion and beat the hell out of her as well as himself. Creed was totally aware that a casual relationship is one of those taboo words that can put her on edge.This was reaffirmed by a memory of the past where she
"Yes, finally!! It should be this one!"Creed found the website he was looking for. Before coming back from the glitch, he had contacted his JET squad leader, Lin Fang. After the mentorship program, he exchanged contacts with him as a friendly gesture.In fact, Creed has already contacted him before in hopes of getting a few tips while he was secretly learning archery in the camp. However, the reason he contacted him this time was that there was an enormous problem that was eating Creed from the inside out.The problem was not with his skill, this time it was related to his equipment. The arrows he used in the Malaka hunt didn't meet their standards.Moreover, he was smack-dab in the middle of the Malaka crisis when he realized this abhorrent fact and was the very
Just as he pressed the submit button on the website, his dark pupils reflected an image of a radiant white check flickering over a circular, green background. He received a success pop-up on his screen and a notification on his private mail as well.The content of the mail contained the information about the venue of the business firm where he could meet the consultant. Apart from that, the mail also had a virtual meeting link.This link was for the people who can't get out of their houses due to some medical problem or any other issue. They could just connect with the consultant in the virtual grid with the meeting link.Creed, however, wasn't a fan of the virtual meet. He was desperate and anxious because he hadn't been able to find any solution to this problem. Hence, he felt that if wanted to get a proper
"It is not a problem, this is how it is… Silk Fiber is a fine alloy, but just because it retains its shape and strength doesn't mean you can just keep using it forever. You have already used these arrows over 90 times, so I guess their worth is resolved now." Creed jerked his head backward and squinted at the man. A concerning frown appeared on his face. He didn't know how this man got that idea, but he uttered immediately, "But I have used each of these arrows only eight times!" In a fraction of a second, the man's eyes widened. His throat strained, and shivering chills passed through his warm blood. "W… what did you just say?" Master Hugh's pitch turned shrilly. His voice began to break. "Yes! Both these arrows h
"You can say this is the most enticing spot of this training center. All the students that come here really like this setup." "Yeah! I can see that already." Creed asked impatiently, "Mind telling me what is inside the room?" A grin appeared on his wrinkly face, as he sneered, "You'll see it soon!" Master Hugh smirked and inched towards the room's entrance, by cutting off the queue. When others saw him approaching, they all made a way for him without a single word. Creed took advantage and followed his footsteps silently. They both entered the room. Creed saw a large room with several scanners on the wall. However, the most eye-catching aspect of this room was the red-colored target embedded on the white wall on the opposite side of the room.
"I see… no worries! I'm fine with one shot, but do you mind if I have a quick chat with Miss Britney over there... It won't take more than a minute!""I don't understand what you want from her, but sure, go ahead!"Creed immediately rushed toward Britney. She was about to leave her spot, but Creed called her out."Uhm... Miss Britney…""What do you want?""First, I know you are not happy with the result, but that shot was very pleasing. I believe that you have put significant time into mastering it. I also want to compliment your shooting posture because I can still say that a lot of effort has been put in.""You think so?"
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
"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
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. There was no corner on the stage that hadn't been
"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
