Shadow felt like she was living inside a dream.
Everything was sort of blurry and twisted and obscure, almost as if she was standing in the middle of the sea of people, watching things happen on the side road while caught up in an existential crisis of her own. Even the buzz around her seemed far away.
She couldn’t understand what she was doing. Whether ambling inside the mansion with a half-exposed body. Luckily, the people had gone long to the dreamland, leaving the guards alone guarding the mansion.
She couldn’t make out any questions. God knows what she said to any of her people before she disappeared inside the forest while they reluctantly let her go.
She barely noticed when she punched the password number of the goblin’s house and completely tune
The table went cold silent with Cole and Sabrina’s eyes were battling each other. Both pushed the responsibility to tell Shadow off on each other. Unaware that Shadow could literally hear everything inside her mind.The mind ability she possessed was indeed astonishing but their forgetful memory makes it more entertaining. So, while they were fighting each other with their eyes, Shadow enjoyed the cursing that they spat towards each other internally without them knowing it.The battle between them came to an end when Cole lowered his gaze with a farcical sigh.“Are you done yet?”“We.. we done- gasp.” Sabrina gasped as she turned her face to entertain Shadow. The memory came back to her like a replay button.
Elijah.The overlord’s close confidant, the one who managed to calm the furious lord and the person who was amazing enough to run the estate without the approval of the lord. That was because she was the living approval stamp that controlled all the state affairs on behalf of the lord.Conan.The overlord’s second-best confidant, the person who managed all the business, and the person who was amazing enough to play with the lord’s money without fear. He was the book smart butler who was in charge of managing the lord’s business on behalf of the lord.Samuel.The overlord’s servant. He was the one who started the mess and cleaned up all the mess as well. His work style was versatile. Currently, th
The late lunch was a solemn affair.Cole and Sabrina accommodated her thoughts to their best ability, despite their busy schedule.As the ruler of the forest, Cole was essential to maintain the hierarchy of the forest. Cole fought fair and square to claim this forest with others being such as dragons and griffins. Now, he was at the apex of the forest, defeating others. He was supposed to make a daily round across the massive forest.Sabrina was the angel. She used to be a human but now, had already ascended to the sacred being. Her main work was to maintain the peace order and pray for God. She also was tasked to give blessings to the believers. She should fly around, giving a blessing to those believers.Because of this reason, Shadow refused to impose on them lo
The Dragon Alley was the place where the warriors challenged the dragons. The place was similar to the survival of the fittest. The strong stepped on the weak, regardless of the race. Sometimes, it was the dragon's victory, but most of the time, humans had progressed to a certain degree.Dragon slayer.Dragon slayer wasn’t a normal human who relied on their brute strength or their intelligence. Their survival skills consist of killing and surviving. Different people had different priorities. Some teamed up with other humans while some bonded with the dragon.Dragon slayer got its name by slaughtering the dragon. Now, they call themselves a dragon tamer. Thanks to their ancestors, they had special blood that no normal people possessed. Their ancestors used to kill
The fight between the two dragons was halted as soon as the gold dragon came rushing towards them with its panic roar calling for enforcement.“Ring the alarm.”Both of the warriors snapped their necks at the chaos below them. Their ears picked the order by their chieftain who was in a hurry.“Chieftain!” Calling one of them, hoisting his dragon to change the course of the direction. “What’s happening?”The chieftain flew next to both of them while pointing at the small masked individual on the fencing of the VIP seat.“Lord Shadow!” The other warrior gasped in shock.“Fucking hell. What’s the occasion?” The m
“Who is your lord?” She smacked her head. Latte fell on the back of the dragon. “You should have chosen your opponent wisely. We are living in the era of strong steps on the weak.” She jumped off the chaotic dragon.As soon as the mind-link was cut off, the wise dragon started to go frantic. The bonded human was now at risk of dying by their own panic dragon.“Oh shit!” Macchiato dove in and tried to help Latte from being killed by her dragon without worrying about the lord.The lord hated to play cheaply. She preferred to attack head-on and treated all the casualties caused by her as her victory medal. That’s the drive behind his confidence while rescuing Latte.As Shadow heard their stupid blabbing inside her head, Shadow
Tok! Tok! Tok!Someone knocked on the door from outside of the room. It didn’t take a long time since the owner of the room gave their permission to enter.“Come in.”The door was opened cautiously from the outside as if they were afraid of the owner inside. Four people entered the room and bowed down as soon as they planted their feet inside.“Good evening, My Lord.”“Good evening.”“Evening, Lord.”“Hello, My Lord.”Those four people gave all different greetings to her.Shadow r
Amel, Naomi, Mina, Hashim, Samuel gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tighter. Their tattered clothes, sweaty foreheads, sandy bodies, and heavy breaths were the evidence of their hard labors.In the middle of the training arena away from the rest of the warriors, six bodies with different conditions face each other. It was more like one versus five.“Everyone, this is the most beautiful moment in life, I found it.” Samuel shut one of his eyes as the sweat trickled down from his forehead.“I believe in Lord Shadow supremacy, AWWOOOO~” Mina howled like a true wolf in her full werewolf form. Her tail wagged vigorously, expressing her feelings clearly.“Vaguely concerned about that statement, but okay.” Hashim the magician chuckl
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
