Shadow was eyeing them full of love. Their eagerness reflected the innocence in their eyes. The Hyenas were prepared to enter the space that was created by Orange.Orange’s power was extremely unique. Storytelling, and art manipulation. There were only three people that inherited this power. Each represents the three worlds. Someone named Fariz, who by chance, was Teal’s boyfriend. He was from the Upperworld. The second person was Orange Bunny, representing the Underworld. Last but not least, Wan, from the wingman's clan, was from The Unknown.Different places carried different strengths, however. Fariz was far weaker than Orange but stronger by the average of the Upperworld. Orange Bunny was also strong but Wan was the strongest.It was all because of the mana stones that were stored everywhere in The Unknown. The strength of each person was defined by the accessibility of the mana stones or the mana air in general.The Upperworld had the least mana, while the Underworld lived close
“What– what do you want from me?” His body was trembling, filled with unexplainable fear.If she was from a lion tribe, he knew who she was. The lion tribe was massive by nature. Their height easily exceeded 1.8 meters and above. However, there’s one person who received the blessing from The Unknown and became one of the adopted children of the royal family. She was also extremely small for the lion tribe. That’s probably the main reason why they pampered her so much. And as far as he knew, the girl was extremely young yet talented enough to sweep the storm in The Unknown. Also, used to be the ruler of the Underworld.Shadow was deeply impressed with this guard’s knowledge. It also meant that they had dug a background check on her. She felt unpleasant for unknown reasons even though it was a necessary step to understand the enemy's move.Suddenly, this person wasn’t interesting enough to be played with. “I’m done with you.”Snap!The guard fell unconscious as the rest and Shadow en
Tap!“Hey!” Shadow nodded at Orange who was already nearly done with the last touch-up. “Are you done?” She asked.“Almost.”A distinctive scream was located in the inner garden just on the other side where they were. Finn’s room was just next to the inner garden. It is called the Rose Garden where countless colors of roses were planted everywhere. Ironically, the roses had already been completely annihilated by the monkeys.Countless spells were cast to kill the monkeys. Normally, the monkeys were not able to dodge any attack cast by them. Unfortunately for them, all of them were professional animal soldiers that were trained personally by Shadow. All of them were good at fighting, but mostly, they were so great at dodging and running away.So, after achieving their objective, the monkeys instantly ran away to their designated place. But, they would not stay in one place fearing that the enemy could smell them, instead, after gathering at one place, the monkeys would travel to th
Shadow was beyond speechless. Her eyes fluttered at Orange, silently asking for clarification because she was well-versed in the game.Vicious cycle.The game was also invented by her. It was a famous game that made people go beyond their capabilities. The goal of the game was suicide. It was a befitting punishment to all the sinners that refused to repent and repaid every misdeed they committed. Specifically toward humans or in other words, their victims. The game was simple but the nature of the game was extremely unfriendly and deathly.“The game…” Her lips moved with no sound, was utterly confused.“Yeah. It’s your game but I simplify it.”“With?”“There will be no passport nor healing potion.”“Ha. ha. Ha.” She laughed soullessly. “There are a total of five lives. Each death will be felt in the body regardless of the process. For example, if they died by plunging the knife into the heart, a similar pain will be transmitted into the body. And, they will have to wait for the nex
Shadow sat with Orange while waiting and the more I looked at them, the more she learned not to provoke him for no reason. Orange’s power was extremely unique and the more she made him talk, the more it became clearer. Orange was insanely strong and well-versed in his power. Wan fell short by a small margin because he wasn’t as creative as Orange. The sudden praise wasn’t because he was Shadow’s brother alas she was biased – well, a small part of it – but she was truly amazed. Orange created the game-like setting and helped both the ‘lab rats’ and the executors to have a clear ending. He monitored the game closely and judged it according to his standard. And if by any chance Orange decided to put her inside the book he created, she also didn’t know what to predict. In Wan’s book, he failed to control Shadow because he didn't have this tenacity. She was confident that she couldn’t fool Orange. The man constantly improved his game setting to reach the result he desired. In a way, it
“Muahahaha.” “I feel alive.” “One simply cannot underestimate revenge through a dream. I feel so alive.” “I am loving this.” “My body is still energetic and my mental state is satisfied. What is this even?” “I love blood, so much.” Crazy, Sleepy, Smiley, Smart, Orange, and Mad spoke in that sequence. No secrecy was required when they had already escaped into the Woodland Forest. Shadow soaked in it. She was at the back, enjoying every bit of the conversation among her brothers. Orange was quite in an awkward position as he wasn’t in the same animal category. But, he blended in quite well. “Orange!” Crazy slung his arm on Orange’s shoulder. “Buddy, I really love your attribute.” “You mean… one of my attributes?” He said cheekily. “Holy moly!” Crazy reacted crazily and lived up to his name. “How many attributes do you have, really?” Smart took the liberty to ask the sensitive question. “Well, if you don’t mind stating it. I understand that our attributes are a sensitive to
“Welcome back.” Albert greeted them with a happy smile on his face.The newlyweds greeted them as if they were anxiously waiting for their arrival forever. Including the royal parents. Ibrahim and Aulia were literally waving hands at them and hugging them as if they were missing a war veteran's children that went to war for more than a decade. “We have safely returned, royal father, royal mother.”Including the Hyenas, Orange, and Shadow, they greeted the parents with the correct term for once. “Oh my…” Aulia sniffed happily. “My children had returned after creating chaos for the whole night.” All of them laughed sourly at the backhanded comment. Their mother loved to guilt-trip them while laughing elegantly to camouflage her thoughts. And, by miracle, Smiley had inherited that power. They didn’t know how but he did. Probably because Aulia used to accompany them during their jail time. It was actual jail time. The story was worth another time. Shadow’s attention shifted to Lily a
“Will everything be alright?” Aulia trailed behind her with concerned energy circling them.“... who are we talking to?” She made a sharp turn, at the very first corner she found.“Your brothers.” Aulia clasped her hands together, her eyebrows knitted together, forming a worry wrinkle. “... err which one?” Shadow had a lot of brothers and sisters. She failed to point out which one her mother referred to. Aulia became restless when her daughter had no emotion over this dreadful situation.“Your Underworld’s brothers… and sisters.” Ibrahim helped his wife and belatedly realized that Shadow also had sisters in the Underworld.Shadow snorted and waved her hand playfully. “They will be okay. Just trust them.” She looked away and took another turn.Ibrahim was conscious of where the topic direction was. She walked up to her personal office which was at a different building, located behind the palace. It was the office that he took upon himself to build because he wanted to be closer to
