2024-10-29 19:42:56Creed's eyeball frantically shook in the sockets when he saw an old man blocking their paths. The glistening black tux worn by this old man and his gray beard couldn't be more dandy.
He had black hair but his temples seemed to have lost the natural pigmentation, giving the signs of old age catching up to him. A vitalizing elegance dripped from every pore of his skin.
However, Creed's attention was light years away from his outer appearance. The only thought that came to his mind right now was 'Death''.
Surprisingly, even though this old man didn't have jaw-dropping chakra control, Creed could overhear the alarms of uncertainty and potential hazard constantly blaring inside his mind.
In fact, this old man was so strong Creed didn't even bother to gau

Apaurushya Subjective Morality
Olivia couldn't stop herself from grinning when she saw Artemis putting her own foot on the axe. Jina who stood beside also shot an enigmatic smirk on the twisted outcome. Although, none of them have ever seen Master Bakshi smile before, but today an palpable annoyance was tearing off his face. Most of the people present in the group were already aware of the fact that Master Bakshi is far from some happy-go-lucky kind of person. He was known to have a strict and short-tempered personality. He never discriminated when It came to delivering the punishment whether it's an adult or a kid. Not even his own grandchildren could escape from that fate if they tried to get on his nerves. However, this time Artemis' groundless persistence stacked over her rudeness has truly made him mad.
Apaurushya Dollar Twenty of the Alliance
Creed arm trembled in sheer fury. His breath dampanend. The bullshit excuse that Alia gave made his chest gut wrenching abhor. He could already feel the trace of subjective morality being imposed right in front of his eyes. Moreover, what surprised him the most was that despite belonging to a wealthy family, Artemis was also being treated unjustly because she didn't belong to a clan. 'Does being in a clan justifies it all? Argh… I swear to god… I'm gonna lose it!' However, when he saw the old man standing in front, he had no choice but to gulp his anger. He knew that even if he told the old man the truth, that wouldn't help the situation because the words of clanless don't weigh much. Since Grisha and Akash didn't say anything, convincing the old man all by himself s
Apaurushya Lucky Strike
Creed's mind was drowning in disgust and fury. From a contemptuous dispute, to the act of falsehood, then to the subject of public entertainment, Artemis was knee deep into the trouble. However, a sharp sound of a buzzer brought him back to reality. His eye landed on the huge holographic screen that appeared above the stage. The screen was displaying the ring up close. However what really grabbed his attention was a sentence that flashed in bold letters saying, "ALL BETS HAVE BEEN PLACED!" He turned his neck back to stage. Since he already had the front row seats, looking at the screen was unnecessary. Despite everything, Creed's ears had turned bright red from the amount of rage he was holding in. Everything that has happened so far was already unbearable but now a goddamn screen to broadcast this si
Apaurushya Wail of the Mockingbird
While others discussed the current turn of events. Master Bakshi and the group were silently watching the battle. None of them uttered a word but all of their eyes were glued toward the ring.Kiara and Mira also had their eyes on the battle. In fact, the best way to put it would be that Kiara's eyes were glued to the battle but Mira couldn't stop gazing at her elder sister.For some reason, Mira had a tint of confusion, discomfort and nervousness in her eyes. Her palms were jittery and Her mind was wrapped with several thoughts.This whole situation has escalated to the point where she was physically uncomfortable. It seemed as if she didn't like this either, and wanted to tell master Bakshi the whole thing from the start but her frightened nerves didn't let her.
Apaurushya Emergency Support
Olivia's fiendish blade reached Artemis in a split second. However, a dark murky shadow flew towards her like a shade of a vengeful grim-reaper. The glint of accursed killing intent thrust at her own chest made her most abominable nightmare come true in a split second. ~CLANK She saw her plan failing when her blade crashed into a hard surface. Her hand couldn't move forward as if it had hit some kind of boulder. The goosebumps under Olivia's spine blared an insinuating urge to yield her soul in front of this ghost-like apration. As her vision settled, the outline of a figure gradually darkened in her sight. A set of gleaming pupils stark yellow stared back at her as if they were peeking inside her soul. Instead of two, now there were three people inside the ring. How
Apaurushya Indistinct Mumbling
"My name is Creed Gryffon. Batch-43 cadet, Interplanetary Glitch armed services. I'm 17 years old, licenced glitch hunter with a year and a half of hunting experience inside bhu lok. I would like to switch places with Artemis and take over the battle on her behalf." The moment he said, All of the eyes towards the ring widened. A ghastly shock appeared on their faces. Especially the ones from the clan Phoenix God's. Kiara and others also hand their eyebrows from being startled. Contrarily, Olivia's group was more scornful than shocked. Dollar Twenty's eyes shined for a split second before turning back to normal. Although it happened for a split second, this was the first time Creed noticed any abrupt change in her expressions. "I see…" She replied, "Are you sure
Apaurushya The Colourless Serenity
While the Ivan was dealing with confusion and creepiness that came with Creed's demented and nutty behaviour, A few people from the crowd seemed to have lost their mental composure, witnessing the battle so far.They could see and even feel the spiked intensity of the battle from the loud burst of metal clanks that came from the barrage of strikes. However, it was almost impossible to figure out which was stronger, whether Creed's persistent blocks or Ivan's blood curling strikes.Nonetheless, there were three people who were the most shocked among the entire group. Their faces were filled with unexplained confusion and dense perplexity. There was definitely something going one, that was bugging the three of them. Grisha, Kiara and Akash had faces as if someone has pulled a rug under their feet.Kiara gulped.
Apaurushya Blood
Creed walked away from the ring and appeared in front of Artemis immediately. "There must be an infirmary somewhere nearby, right?" He asked with a haste, Creed was about to grab her shoulder. However, instead of an assertive reply. Artemis took a step back in panic and unease. "W… What on earth are you?" Her hand trembled in panic, and she pointed at him. "What was that last strike?" "This isn't the time for this discussion!" Creed sighed. "Let's go treat your wounds, first!" "First, tell me, what happened up there? That's exactly the same as my attack… a perfect copy, but 10 times better and refined. Why didn't you tell me you practice Mockingbird as well?" "No

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

"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
