Malikul threw the book on the table, gritting his teeth in anger. His veiny hands brushed his hair to the back, eyes pierced through all his subordinates. The atmosphere inside the small room was tense. Four other people that were inside quickly looked away, afraid their mere gaze would get on his nerves. They wanted to prevent such.“Psst, Wan.” A buff male with average size leaned toward some other male.“What?” Wan turned his head and leaned in.“What is wrong with him?” That raspy voice inquired.“Shadow.”One word is all it takes to make them understand.Everyone was clear on why Malikul was moody.“But why?” The only girl in the room crouched down near Wan, leaning her head on the table.“I don’t know myself.”“He has been reading the book quite diligently. Don’t tell me…” The third male, one with curly hair pointed his chin at the book on the table.Wan nodded and affirmed it. “She is inside the book.”The raspy man gagged, unintentionally loud, and almost made Malikul turn hi
BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord! My Lord!”“Open the door, My Lord!”“Please!”“We have urgent news.”“Not urgent, it was urgent news!!!”“Please, we have more news!”BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!!!”Both Amino and Ryuzaki stared at the locked door with mystified expressions on their faces.BANG! BANG! BANG!“MY LORD!!! WE NEED TO CONSULT OUR NEXT MOVE!”“LORD AMINO! OUR FORTE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!”“LORD RYUZAKI! WE NEED YOU TO MOVE OUR SOLDIERS TO THE FRONTLINE!!!”BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!“Huh~” Both of them blew a tired blow while leaning their back on their respective chairs.BANG! BANG! BANG!“My Lord!!!” All the vassals slammed their fists against the door or knocked mercilessly with their desperate voices calling them out. Yet, both Ryuzaki and Amino collectively ignored their desperate call.“What should we do, Lord Amino?”Amino just placed his elbows on his working table with a blank expression.Ryuzaki sat on the settee, leaning his back and propped his elbow on the edge of the hea
Alberu Spearman.He was the backstabber of Country C. The elf and his entire bloodline used to serve the leader of the Burning Town, when greediness took over him, he wiped out the informant so that no one knew where he was hiding.Even so, he was still living a good life solely because those leaders couldn’t easily leave the territory as they had to maintain the sacred fire that surrounded the town. The fire acted as the protector and only recognized the people that were recognized by the owner.Not many could enter, and even few could escape.Not until the ruling of the latest lord - Lord Shadow.She was by any means far too dangerous and different from the rest. She was different. For her, the selection to the throne was totally noteworthy. She was appointed by an oracle who was also the highest authority one could get.And usually, the lord from the oracle was so much different and beyond vicious. By looking alone, she was indeed the lord of the oracle.Decisive, menacing, wild, a
TAP!A half-naked body, wearing only pants and messy hair appeared in the middle of the nothingness. The black wings coated with red-ish color were fluttered a few times in confusion.His barn red eyes shifted around as his body spun around as well.“Where the hell am I?” He muttered, flapping the dirty air around to make his eyes clear.But then, he remembered the first few pages of the book. Shadow’s reaction was so hilarious. She was so angry and cursed him and Wan out.What in front of him was nothing but a wasteland. And if he wasn’t mistaken, he knew this land too well. According to the description in the book, this place used to be a grave.“Country D.”There’s nothing within his vicinity. His eyes couldn’t pick a single decent form to make him understand everything or anything, in that matter.No humans.No living things.It was just a wasteland all around.“This is getting comical.” He brushed his hand against his hair while the other hand rubbed on his bare skin. “What the!
“Hah~!”“Hah~!”“No… more…”“Hah~ help…”Some were rolling on the dirt with their labored breathing. Body drenched with sweat, the sights were hazy, the heads felt like it could split into two and the over sensitiveness made them suffer most of the time.“More! More~ MORE!!!” The roar of the lord echoed in the training ground.All the fallen soldiers were trembling like weak leaves. Their bodies reacted when the shout resonated within them. Trying their very best, they rose from the ground, one eye was shut while the other was half-opened with quivered orbs. “Don’t be so weak-minded!” Shadow stomped the floor.Zruuu~RUMBLE!!!The ground cracked and violently shook.The poor soldiers that had definite stamina were now stumbled on the floor with their chests huffed heavily up and down.Amel, Conan, Samuel, Hashim, Mina, Naomi, and Sabrina who were in the same training ground and experienced the same training regimen weren't quite as tired as the others. Even if they did, their pride w
“Who are you…” Yet, Sabrina stuck with one question.The greatest. No one could do what she did. No one else but her. “She is THE Lord of this world.” Sabrina plopped on the ground with so much elegance as her eyes were full of admiration.Shadow didn’t look in her direction but it was okay.“Sabrina! The archangel is greeting THE lord of this world, Your Majesty Shadow.” She kneeled on one knee and stomped her knuckle on the ground with the other arm resting on her knee. Mina and Naomi gasped for the second time.“Right now, I am renewing my pledging to you, My Lord. I am, the servant of the god will pledge her loyalty to the O Greatest Her Majesty Shadow. My life is yours and your command is my soul.”“Oh… are you sincere, my lovely dearest archangel? Are you speaking the truth to me? Are sure about your decision… my lovely Sabrina.”“I am certain of my decision… my lord.”“Oh…” Shadow looked amused, her lips curved up although she didn’t necessarily look at Sabrina. “You pique
Amino brushed his fingers through his hair, feeling over the edge. His vein popped out at the side of his head and around his neck.“What is this?”“We have just heard the news.” Ryuzaki placed his elbows behind his back, striding along the busy shore.Currently, Amino and Ryuzaki’s people are lodging the boxes inside a few hundred ships. Ammos, destructive weapons, bombs, and many more were lodging inside the ships which later would glide across the sea toward the neighbor country; Country C.He had his own reason why he painstakingly traveled across the sea, passing Country B just to be inside Country C. It was impractical but Shadow’s target was them, not the country itself. So, his country was unlikely to be invaded by her.Country A, Country B, Country C, and Country D.Two of the four countries had no leaders. Now, the borders of one of the countries were closed from the inside, preventing others from entering or escaping.It was none other than Country D.Amino wrinkled the re
Three days later, a couple of tired bodies fell on the ground with shaking and convulsing bodies breathing heavily.Except for Shadow, no one could even stand straight or look straight into her eyes. Sadistically, Shadow curved a satisfied smile wider than she had ever done and emitted such a cold pheromone.Sabrina was already standing and trembling. Her face was covered with blood, her eyes flickered at Shadow warily.“Have fun yet, my beloved sister-in-law?” Shadow delved her hands inside her pockets.“I am. How about you, sister-in-law?” A good-natured Sabrina is gone. “... your body…”She didn’t have to look at her own body to know what Sabrina was talking about. Her body was covered with newfound scars created by Sabrina. Thankfully, it didn’t pierce any vital organs or it would be a hassle to recover.“I love those scars.” “Hah!” Shadow smacked her forehead while the other hand curled inside her pocket. “You are as shrewd as ever, Aisyah.”“You're as artful as ever- ugh, siste
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
