There was no suspense, Lane was eaten alive, half cooked by the flames from the hyenas.Wilson took another hit to he chest. The gorilla stepped forward and a raised a mighty foot. Its intentions were obvious. He was going to stomp Wilson's upper body to a mushy mess. Wilson willed the pain and exhaustion away and forcefully opened his eyes. This was not the time to feel sleepy. This is probably that little thing's doing.He opened his eyes and instantly noticed the skies above him was covered. 'What is that? A foot? Oh no!'Wilson rolled out of the way as quickly as he could.*Boom*The ground seemingly exploded when the gorilla's foot made contact with it. Water splashed on Wilson just as he was standing up. And then he froze. Unable to move. He saw the gorilla's huge palms coming for him from opposite directions.Is this the end? No. Why? Because the palms suddenly paused. They paused so abruptly, Wilson felt like time had stopped. Wait, did time really stop?The wolf leader leape
Jim, the old man and his family finally stopped running. They were panting and were too exhausted to go on. The old man wheezed and gasped as he fell face first on the snow with his butt slightly raised. He looked like he was a mouse that was being sent to the knackers. Jim stifled his urge to laugh and instead looked away."You know, you should not have abandoned your friend, right?" The middle aged man asked as he sat on the cold, hard snow. He, like the rest of his family was wasted both physically and mentally."Who? Wilson? Nah, he is not my friend." Jim was quick to deny it. He continued."He is an...um... acquaintance. An acquaintance born out of convenience and necessity. That's all.""Really? You guys seemed close. Like long time friends kind of close, you know." The little girl said."No, we are not. I already told you guys how we met, didn't I?" Jim said."Oh yeah, yeah, you did." The little girl's elder brother, Matt, was the one to answer. He paused, then continued; "You
"He said that, there were over twenty one-eyed beasts, among which he could sense the residual aura of strength-related ones, fire and acid. He said there might be speed related ones as well from certain signs in the distance. Of course, there were no actual visible prints so, I'm guessing what he saw has something to do with his ability.Anyway, back to what he said. He said that there was also certain signs of mental waves or something like that. I don't remember his exact words. But he also said something else...." She paused for effect."Come on, don't keep us in suspense." Bar pleaded."There was a travelling bag and that he could sense very strong residual ice ability aura from it. He said the beast was most likely already dead and because someone was stingy or careless enough to store it in a travelling bag, that must be why the aura leaked and invited the one-eyed beasts to the large group of travellers." The lady mercenary said and everyone sighed and shook their heads."So,
The soldier and Wilson entered the tent and walked directly into a small City. There were people around, food stalls, public toilets, entertainment houses and adminstrative offices, all tagged accordingly for easy identification."This is Tent City 201. If you want to know more, join the military. Follow closely." The solder said and entered a small building that was the only one without a tag, save for a warning that says 'Keep out!' Apparently, the person was too busy to make a more explanatory warning and so just pasted a generic keep out sign on the door.The door sign said 'keep out!' but the soldier entered and left the door open for Wilson, who entered without much thought.The place seemed desolate and as they walked further inside, their footsteps echoed as they stepped on the concrete floor.Later, after making several turns and entering through a couple doors, they finally arrived before a door that looked very different from all the other wood colored doo
When Wilson woke up the next day, it was,precisely speaking, not even the next day. He had slept for two straight days and when he finally woke up, he felt refreshed. His body felt somewhat new. It was lighter than he remembered, his sense of sight and hearing was more sensitive and his mind was clear.He tried to figure out why and came to the conclusion that the reason was because he has been on edge for quite some time and it had been so long since he could relax completely.He remained in bed and thought about his adventure of the past couple weeks or months, rather. Maybe even he should be thinking in terms of years. At this point, he could not even be sure anymore.He looked around at the room's interior. The room was coloured in a blend of white and red. A lamp rested on a desk by his side, an an extension of the bed itself. There was a small wardrobe at the other corner of the room and a bathroom door only a few steps away by its side. The lighting was soft and gentle to the e
Wilson arrived outside the restaurant and entered to find Old Rogers. Old Rogers found him first."Hey, little Wilson. Over here!" He called and waved from behind a transparent lace curtain that separated the kitchen from the area where customers sat and ate.Wilson rushed to meet him."Come with me!" Old Rogers said and walked further into the kitchen till he reached a cupboard. He yelled some gibberish at the cupboard and it opened up to show a hidden passageway. He walked in and a shocked Wilson, who based on instincts, did not think Old Rogers had any evil plans for him, rushed after him."Do you have any questions? I know you do. Ask away!" Old Rogers said."My friend said that Tiger City is a city of dog eat dog city. But the General said I must not commit any crimes..." Wilson did not even get to finish his question when Old Rogers cuts in with a lengthy explanation."Oh, that. Hehe, that is a common question among newbies. You see, one can get away with many things that are tag
When Wilson and Lieutenant Ayo finally arrived at the same office hidden a maze of numerous corridors and doors, Wilson noticed that there was not just the captain from previously, but also sat behind the desk was a muscular middle-aged man in similar military uniform and an above average looking woman in a three piece suit."Sirs. Lieutenant Ayo reporting for duty, sirs." Lieutenant Ayo saluted, his voice booming.'Sirs? Is he ignoring the woman?' Wilson asked in his mind but what ce out of his mouth was; "Morning, sirs!""At ease, Lieutenant!" Said the muscular middle-aged man. He had a balding head with little gray hair amidst the black. His haircut, like every other soldier he had met, was a crew cut.'That must be the standard hairstyle that Jim talked about.' Wilson thought, once again, feeling grateful to Jim for the important lessons he gave. Without those lessons, he would have been excessively clueless.'Wait a minute!' He suddenly thought. 'Does that m
"You are not dead?" Jim was the caller."You just arrived?" Wilson responded with a question."How come you are not dead?" Jim asked another question. Wilson ignored the question and put out his own:"How come you are just reaching the city?""It's a long story." Jim responded and Wilson totally agreed with that particular answer."Mine too.""Let's talk later, yeah?""No problem. Where are you going?""To meet my friend...""That one you spoke about, that resides in Tiger City?" Wilson cut in with a question."Precisely." Jim answered. "Now, if I'm not reading this map wrong, Vox should be somewhere within the next two to three kilometers." He murmured to himself."Can I come?" Wilson asked."You have nowhere to go? You just arrived?" Jim asked."Yes!""Okay. Stay close." Jim told Wilson and began to move forward. Before he could take his fifth step, a man of average height and looks coupled with a mohawk approached Jim and stood in front of him, blocking his and Wilson's path. He wa
