Creed's expression turned ambiguous when he saw the receptionist getting up from her seat. Though she tried to stay calm, she could not fool him.
"Is there a problem, ma'am?" Creed asked,
"No, no! Nothing like that Mr. Gryffon!" She smiled and got up from her seat and proceeded towards the office behind her, "Just give me a few seconds and I will get back to you!"
"Alright!" Creed nodded,
Not just Creed, even the people who were standing behind him turned skeptical. They did not know what happened, yet Creed could already hear them murmuring and ranting. The line was already too large, but now a delay too, ranting was expected.
Creed gazed at the other receptionist beside her. Though she continued to do her job of
Since Creed did not belong to aristocracy, he had no choice but to start from bottom. If he had already been an aristocratic member, then with his Solar Plexus Chakra they would have assigned him the Imperial Aristocratic status. Sadly, that was not the case.Though the aristocracy might seem easy, it was much elaborate than Creed ever imagined. The head of the family defines the status of the family and cannot be changed in the future until he is alive. Other members of the family will get their status based on Creed status until they attain their own.If a family head is an imperial aristocrat, then other members of the family will also attain the same status or lower by default.Creed has stepped on the very first step of the ladder. Though there was a massive downfall. His aristocratic st
"Can you wake him up?" Matthew spoke concrete,[Affirmative][I have uploaded the files... the sedatives have been scaled down… the subject will wake up in any minute now!]Matthew and Kabir nodded at each other. In just a few moments, Just as she said, Yaksha's eyelids gained momentum. His gums opened in frenzy as if he was trying to suck air within his mouth. His breathing turned rapid, veins popped out from several parts of his body including chest, biceps, and forehead."Is he having a nightmare?" Kabir asked as he looked at his elevated breathing, "What's with the struggle?"[Due to the sudden scaling of sedatives, the subject's body is now in strain. The effects will wear off soon.]
Creed squinted. He saw a man running at full speed. His expressions were that of desperation. Surprisingly, Creed knew this man. He was Fang Jin, the same guy who he met during the Alumni Meet.He recognised Fang Jin not by his face but by his dark shiny damascus blade with contrasting blue swirly patterns, hanging proudly at his torso. The blade's beauty had impressed Creed very much the last time.He smiled as he recollected his thoughts. That smile soon turned upside down when he tried to understand the reason behind his desperation.Apparently a huge horde of Toxic Lynx was chasing him in their eyes. All them kept hurling acid on him. His face was on the verge of tearing up. In fact, he was crying as he ran with tail between his legs. What's even more unrealistic was that he ran while holding a huge
Creed and Fang both decided to camp. Looking for an exit in the night was not appropriate inside the glitch. To stay where they were was more logical than running around in circles with several beasts lurking in the shadows.Since they were two guys, the idea to camp made sense. They can rest and guard in shifts. They both were tired after running so much and Fang agreed too.Creed was not that exhausted, thanks to his regenerative factor. However, he was starving like beast. He opened his bag and gulped 12 apples one after the other.Fang saw this with jaws wide open, "Wow! That's quite an appetite brother,""You've got a problem?""No, no, brother! Go ahead… In fact, you can have mine if you want!"
"Don't agitate her, Just stay where you are!" Creed loosened up, "I know what this is!"He had heard about this before. He didn't want to believe it, but they both have encountered a phenomenon only a few people get the chance to see in their entire lifetime. The sheer volume of bustling rhythm was already the proof. Something they all aim for, something they all had to go through.Creed glanced at her figure and uttered, "It's a beast Ascension!""Ascension!" Fang hesitantly asked, "Holy Crap! I've never seen one before,""It has to be that, or how else would you explain this senselessness and dominant aura?""But… Even if she is ready to Ascend, why is she not attacking?"
The Soleil Voyage!" Creed couldn't help but utter as he looked at the dense exuberance coming out of the fracture.While Creed's eyes were stuck on the sky, Fang's were stuck on the snake woman herself. His pupils dilated while his palms turned wet now. He raised his elbow and poked Creed."Brother Creed!" Fang gulped a mouthful of saliva, "Wh… Who is she calling? You or me?"Creed's focus eventually shifted to the snake woman, crudely gesturing him to come closer.His heart sank deep as he cursed his own damned luck. She was definitely calling him."Fuck!"Most importantly, every beast in the vicinity had their eyes stuck on him now, as If they were warning him
A week had already passed after the snake woman's Ascension, yet the entire scene kept replaying inside Creed's mind over and over. The situation was very weird to him. This was the first time Creed observed such intelligent behavior from a beast. Not to mention, she even figured out a way to communicate with him.He did not dare to tell Fang anything about his communication with Snake Woman. The guy already had his head bloated with so much weird stuff in one day. The last thing Creed wanted to do was add more burden to his pea-sized brain. For some weird reason, Fang had offered him the stolen egg as a gift for helping him all the way to the end. Creed did not understand why he did that after going through so much trouble. In fact, Creed was ready to share the benefits, but in the end, Fang gave him the entire egg.
An uproar was to be expected. Not to mention, Kiara's name was famous in every nook and cranny of both virtual and real world. They all chatted about it for several minutes.Just when things were about to calm down, another announcement rang in the main hall.##[Congratulations!! Miss. Alia Barnes of Phoenix Gods for reaching level 7 of the Nocturnal Tower challenge. You have successfully broken the highest record made by contender Mr. Varun Bakshi of Phoenix Gods.]##The entire main hall went silent. All of them had a dumb look on their faces with their mouths shut. The second announcement swept the rugs from under their feet. They kept looking at each other in the hopes of someone else putting the situation into words.When they all stared at the leaderboard again, the
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
