Ryuzaki wanted to nod his head, he wanted to agree. He couldn’t. Amino was laughing and it wasn't a kind of proud smile. It was a self-loathing smile that Ryuzaki was aware of.
He raised his hand to stop Amino from dumping more pieces of information too suddenly. His heart wasn’t ready at all. He needed a full backstory to understand.
“Can you start from the start?” Ryuzaki had to ask him. “Please, I don’t even know you have a brother. So please, from the start.”
Amino chuckled and stroked his clean chin. Ryuzaki's face was so lost. His eyes were faltering and didn't know what to do with the sudden information.
“Alright, I’ll slow down.” Amino gave a curt nod.
Ryuzaki took a deep breath, holding it for a moment, be
This man is delusional. I can't.
“I don’t know man.” Ryuzaki scratched his itchy head.“I can convince her. I can change her.”Ryuzaki scoffed at how ridiculous it sounded. “Relax, Bob the builder. We still have Malikul to focus on. As far as I know, that man is a controlling freak.”“I can easily…” He didn’t dare to finish his sentence. He, himself, knew who he was dealing with.The Unknown members were arguably stronger than Upperworld and Underworld combined. Their strength was massive by default. Shadow, the leader of the Underworld, was still questionable when dealing with them.Now, not only Amino made an enemy, but he also dared to desire Shadow who was the lover of that The Unkn
“I have heard the news regarding Lord Busaba.” One of the warriors nudged his friend.“Is that the reason she deploys us to the rural area?” The other asked.“I’m not so sure, myself.” Another friend answered.Cawk! Cawk! Cawk!The sound of ravens echoed throughout the rural area. The villages had been emptied two weeks prior, now it became their hiding spot.According to Amel, a sudden movement from the leader of Country D was moving hastily. They marched toward Country B and made an urgent stop at Country C in a hurry. They seemed belated to know about the downfall of Country C.“What are you doing here?” A
“Okay, Folks, let’s play some nice games.” Shadow tapped her fingers on the glass table, smiling beautifully to her head butler.Conan nodded his head, cracking his fingers, and swallowed hard.Elijah, Amel, Hashim, Naomi, and Mina surrounded them after losing the game with Shadow. Shadow was a genius in anything related to strategy and she also had a buff called mind-reading. All and all, it was an unfair mind game in a fair game.Shadow started with white pawn moved to E4 and black pawn moved to E5.“It’s a good start…” Elijah wasn’t sure herself.“I don’t know. If it’s our lord, it’s hardly a
Locking his gaze on Shadow, he nodded his head. “O- okay.” He answered slow.He didn’t know why he agreed but it’s just right. He was like someone who was bewitched by the most beautiful witch in the whole continent. Her gaze was so alluring and enticing.Conan wanted to continue to look at it.Again and again.Obsessing over it.It’s pretty, despite how dangerous it was. Unknowingly, his hand had traced along Shadow’s eyelids.“Okay.” He said again, swallowing.“Good.” Shadow moved away and patted his head. She gazed up. “Seems like my beloved Ki
Falcon looked at Alberu and shook her head. “Gosh, unbelievable.” Falcon exaggerated her shock.“Do I need to know about this man?” Alberu narrowed his eyes, frowned on his chin.Falcon shook her head in disbelief. “Not only are you living in the jungle, but you are also cut off from reality. How sad can you be?” She clicked her tongue a few times.That handsome elf was looking at Falcon as if she was talking about something crazy. His eyes were full of madness, lips twisted.“He is the previous owner of Burning Town.”“Ah, Abraham’s missing son.” It clicked to Alberu’s head. “I remembered.”&ldquo
“Gasp!” He choked his own saliva.Alberu swallowed hard. This lord… this lord… she knew about the underworld transaction? If so, she must have had her reason to recall Joseph. Joseph was the first person Alberu tricked and he still lived lavishly. His fortune was still going steady until the new lord came into the equation and messed up everything.“Think wisely, Albe. Don’t make me wait for too long.” She pulled the door. “I am not patient.”The bright light entered her house, and the curious eyes blinked at him. However, it didn't last long. Their eyes planted on Falcon with a relieved smile.“Thank God. Thank you for not killing him-”
Truth to her words, Shadow was soaking into the warm bath every evening for two days straight. She would stay idle inside the bathtub just to feel the water while Elijah was helping her in every shape or form that she could find.And due to a small mission, Conan had given to Alberu, the man who was supposed to meet her yesterday evening was delayed into today.“Is the temperature to your liking, My Lord?” Elijah put a warm towel on her eyes.“Yeah,” Shadow said incoherently, slurring half sleepy.Elijah, who was cleaning up the bathroom tool that was a mere centimeters away, readily rushed towards Shadow with worries marred on her complexion.“My Lord… are you sleepy?” Her del
Conan felt unsettled. The sudden brought up regarding the underworld was a thorn to his side. He couldn’t completely annihilate but it was also the dark spot of his clean Country C. his heart hammered loudly and the sweat formed on his forehead. Fisting his knuckles, he plucked his courage to open his mouth.“Do you wish to make a transaction with the underworld?” The question that lingered inside his head was thrown half-prepared.Shadow scoffed as if it was ridiculous. Her hand waved tiredly. “The opposite.”“Oh, you mean you want to oversee their business transaction.” His expression brightened up.“Yeah.”
Black and Teal landed at the training ground where Shadow was. Their clean attire fluttered around, eyes focused on Shadoe who was harassing her sparring partners which consisted of Albert, Firash, Aidan, Dhia, and also Musa. Watching those people's haggard faces and tattered clothes, Teal covered her mouth as a nostalgic feeling crept under her skin. It was not a great experience. Although, it increased her prowess, power, ability to wield her GIFT, and strength. Still, it wasn’t a pleasant experience knowing how brutal Shadow could be. “I think we need to rescue them.” “Should we?”Black mumbled while stroking her chin while Teal shivered at the thought alone. Then, both of them wavered their hands as those people took notice of them and pleaded with their eyes.“Should we?”“... we should, should we?”Black asked cunningly and Teal sighed in resignation. If they don't save them, they might hit their limit soon. In normal circumstances, it would be ideal, however, not right now.
“Hmmm… are those the ships that we need to destroy?” “Apparently so, Blue.”“Seriously?”“Yup, yup.”“... that thing is gigantic. What the…” “Fu fu fu. Believe me, I thought so too, Blue.”Blue and Pink were standing right in front of the naval ship. Blue was standing on top of the ice he created while Pink was flying, fluttering her flower’s wings behind her back.They were in the middle of the sea with nothing in it. They were sure that the mermen would be ambushing. They expected it to a certain extent, however… what they didn’t expect was the oblivious approach.The naval ships filled with countless beastmen, no. hundreds of confused beastmen. Both Pink and Blue didn’t smell particularly strong.Blue seemed delighted but Pink was quite vexed. “Did we get the weakest link?” She flipped open her paper fan and fanned it harder.“I don’t know. Feels like I am in heaven.”Pink gnashed her teeth and glared at her partner.“What?” Blue acted innocent.“You and your stupid attitude.” S
“Look. there’s an ass picture of the supposed dragon lord.” Green mumbled next to White.“I can see that, Green.” White tried to control her lips from vomiting.“Just alerting you.”“Thank you.”Green and White were disguising themselves as a wizard and a witch. Wands at each hand.“Young man,” a soft touch was placed on Green.Green reflexly turned his head at the old lady next to him. His green eyes dilated a mere second before a sweet smile emerged. “Yes, beautiful lady?” “Ho ho ho,” the old lady that looked not more than 70 years old radiantly chuckled. “How sweet you are.” White looked away, acting like Green and she wasn’t related. The old lady might appear 70, but she knew better, that the old lady was centuries old.“Do you know what is the meaning behind this painting?”Green stroked his chin, pondering at the ass painting – again, the supposed dragon lord. He wasn’t sure what to say. It was literally the buttcrack of Ferdinand. How’d he know? The description was literall
Bzzzzzzt~The sharp sound of electricity traveled across the metal factory.Unlike Grey and Brown, their destination was a metal factory. Thanks to kind-hearted Grey, they changed their destination. It was the closest and it was on the ground.Everyone knew Orange didn’t do well underground due to old trauma. Hence why Grey decided to give in. As always. Also, they all knew that Orange was Grey’s favorite. Of course, Grey denied the claim and the issue died there. As usual.They strolled inside as if they were visiting the factory, not invading. Meanwhile, the enemies were panicking.“Abad’s been hit. There’s someone out here–” The voice that was shouting through the radio before cutting out. Huh? The fuck? Abad’s hurt?“Captain Ayham, the left side is clear,” Barqi said right after that. “We’re moving, heading to the main pathway.” Ayham gritted his teeth.He was in the controller room. CCTV captured the activities inside the factory. However, the place where the enemies were situ
Tap! Both of them landed right in the middle of the nothingness. It was barren. Sand, rock, and cactus. That’s all.It was a freaking desert.“This is the right place.” Brown adjusted his mask.Grey raised his arm into the air and pulled out his middle finger and felt the air.“Why must that one?” Brown was tired of his antics.“As long as I can do my work,” retorted Grey nonchalantly. “What about your situation?” Slightly turned his head at Brown.“I have a clear vision.” Brown closed his eyes, feeling the movement underneath. “How many?” He tilted his head. Something was wrong. The weather felt wrong for some reason. The density of air was different than usual.“Approximately 50 beastmen on each floor. I could be wrong.”“And how many floors do they have?” He opened his eyes and stared at the sky.“Approximately… three.” Grey counted the clouds in the air. “Three? Are you sure?” Brown tilted his head and set his jaw, feeling the vibration even the smallest one. “Wait a minute!
“Wild Bunny, gather!” Black clapped her hands, calling the rest of the restless members.“What are we? Fucking school kids?” Orange murmured silently, his steps still trudging toward Black.“Shut your stinky mouth.” Brown clicked his tongue.“What a fool.” White shook her head.“You’re the last thing I want to hear.” Teal groaned.“We ain’t fighting.” Pink pushed both their heads at once while walking past them.The rest of them were laughing inwardly.Once they gathered, Black placed a transparent bowl with numerous folded papers in it. Her black eyes latched on each one of them, wriggled her brows petulantly.“As usual, we’ll choose our area the Old Way.”“Ugh! I hate it.” Blue murmured amongst them. The voice filled with annoyance.“We must use this method to ensure fairness, Blue Bunny.” Blue rolled his eyes shut and slumped his head on Pink’s shoulder.“I’ll pick the paper for us.” Pink raised her hand.“Me… will do.” White raised her hand as well.Gold nodded at Black.“Alright
Flashback! “Hey! Do you want to hear a secret?” Shadow asked right after her wedding took place.All the Underworld family gathered around. A secret? Just you, and the rest of us? Ehe., hehehe. Oops. sorry that had to come out. Go on.” Brown and Orange clasped their hands in full happiness.“What is it?” Black swallowed hard. “Don’t tell me…”“Something is wrong.” Captain from Mandrill Monkey arched his brow in anticipation.“I also can feel it in my dick.” Daddy from Mandrill Monkey stroked his chin.“God damn it, Daddy.” “I am only telling the truth. My dick can feel it.” He had no remorse, no shame.“Please don’t talk about that in the open, I guess?”“About what? Dick? Why? Because we have ladies here?”“Yes, and it is inappropriate.”“Why? They can talk about their vajayjay if they want to.”“Damn it, Daddy! Stop it!” Captain clasped his mouth and dragged him away.The rest of the Mandrill Monkeys were cackling as if there was no tomorrow. “After analyzing the movement of the
“Sniff… really?” Phantom rubbed his nose against Shadow’s neck.“Yes. I can’t live without you. I swear.” She tried to appear convincing.“But will you die?” He was adamant about Shadow’s life.Why wouldn’t he? He was there when Shadow was at the bottom. He was there when she was suffering. He was there when she died hundreds of times. He could do nothing but watch her from afar. He had no physical body nor the capability to protect her. He was a mere artificial intelligence living in the system. “Phantom… I will cease to exist following the promise of the previous lord. Abah. I can’t die before that. My body has been programmed to do so.”It was her sad life. Cease to exist. She would never experience death like others. She would cease to exist when the time was calling. Her death would be a mysterious death. A sudden death. Abah had promised her up to 1000 years old. She knew her body couldn’t hold that long. According to her calculation, she had 800 years more to go. Plus and min
“Have you improvised their ID card or something?”Shadow turned her head at her desk. Phantom was seen sitting on top of his folders, crossed legs, and caned his chin with his hand. He was grinning wide.“You’re here?” Shadow rested her head on the visitor chair in front of her desk.Phantom’s foot was wagging back and forth, right in front of Shadow. Yet, the girl said nothing to reprimand him. She was just extremely.Phantom waved his hand, some sort of greeting or whatever.“No, the upgraded version. As soon as the card seeped into him, his whole existence was inside the system.” She answered.“When did you develop the new version?” It piqued Phantom’s interest.Shadow merely scoffed and shut her eyes. “Mind checking how well the information settles in?” She meant all the information regarding Amari’s body.It felt like time stopped momentarily. Phantom lost his smile. The usual playful vibe was killed. Phantom killed it. Anger gradually flamed inside his eyes.“Whatever you mean
