The after-wedding ended successfully. The guests were sent to their respective chambers with a massive longue. Multiple bedrooms and a common room. Nathan wiped his tears off, reluctant to walk away from Shadow. His eyes were fixated on Shadow from the start until the end.However, Shadow literally saw he eyed the hyena’s queen, Liliana. A few questions filled her brain with no answer. Deciding to ignore the questions for today, she placed a happy facade on her face.Her facade fell off only when she saw Hyenas.“Brother…” She shuffled with her wedding dress but with a pouty face and hunched shoulder. She threw the flowers that she unconsciously clenched on the ground, whining out loud. Showing her baby sister's side for the audience to see.“Umpa!” Sleepy coddled her by hugging a bridal style and nuzzled their noses together.“Brother…”Her whining was so deafening. Thankfully, the guests were already returned to their designated chambers, guided by their trusted servants.“Sleepy…
“Can we postpone?” It was an excuse that she had never heard before. It also sounded weird when it came from her.She was hella nervous. Nothing could top this. She wasn’t nervous when she had to conduct interrogation while Dionysus fucked his target. She wasn’t even batting an eye when she tortured someone. To her, it was natural to do all that just to get the legit piece of information.Malikul snorted as if she was singing an alluring song with her siren voice. His eyes were warm yet savage, digging into her eyes, devouring them still.He kneeled on the bed, the bed dug deeper and bounced her closer to him. Malikul grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer and pushed her to the bed with him hovering above her, trapping her to all sides.“Now, you can’t escape.” He growled into her ears, clearly seeing that she was seeking a chance to escape.And Shadow couldn’t talk anymore. The guy who was staring at her with a look that seemed like he would swallow her suddenly got closer and star
It was a good morning like any other day. In a good mood, Wan, Akmal, Anis, Qila, and Apiq came to work. They greeted each other respectfully. Soon, their smiles disappeared, except for Akmal.“What is he doing here?” Wan halted at the entrance of the office. His boss was lounging in the common room in plain sight, screaming ‘I’m here, It is in your best interest to take notice of me’ air around.“... thought he was on the way to their honeymoon.” Anis swallowed her saliva, visibly nervous for no reason.“I have anonymously dropped a few beautiful sites for them to make love,” Qila said in between her gritted teeth.Everyone groaned.“Don’t say it like that.”“We need not know about our head’s sex life.”“What is wrong with you?”Apiq, Wan, and Anis spoke in that order.“My worry is valid. Our boss has stalked his wife for as long as he has lived. Don’t you expect him to not let her go for a couple of days… or weeks in that matter.”“Gosh!” “Qila!”“I don’t want to hear that.”Agai
“Lord Holiness.” Akmal raised his hand.“Yes?”“That thing…” He pointed at his uncle. “Why is he here?” Shadow didn’t have to turn her head to understand what he was talking about.“That man is working for me.” She said, deafening.Her voice was low, but it was the loudest yet. Their bodies stirred with panic.Alas, the deafening silence once again attacked them. The workers that already filled the office toured the other entrance just to avoid the area. The crown prince and the holiness were talking with the executive. She brought her trusted person and a bizarre creature while cornering the executives.Whatever it was, it wouldn’t be pretty if they were to get involved.“Why the man is working with you when he should be withering in the dungeon or torture room?” Akmal bravely narrowed his eyes at Shadow.Malikul saw the disrespect, yet said nothing. Shadow knew how to handle this kind of person. Furthermore, his wife was far from a damsel in distress. If anything, she was the king
“It’s not a misunderstanding.” Shadow grasped the situation rather quickly. “The one who is guilty is you. You! You try to paint your uncle as a bad guy to satisfy your own greed. Fucker!” Shadow plunged on the seat once.“My love…”Shadow stopped him by raising her hand right in front of his face.“This fucker knew. He fucking knew. He readily destroyed his uncle just because his fragile ego couldn’t take the hit.”Wince.It was so painful, Akmal had to wince. Shadow spoke nothing but the truth.For Shadow, now she understood why these people were exceptionally quiet when Jamal’s issue was brought to light. It was because they knew the truth. They willingly feign ignorance. Shadow leaned forward, her upper body and knees bent as she propped her hands on the table.“My love,” Malikul tried to grab Shadow’s wrist.Shadow had shown her intimidating aura. Her eyes caught Akmal particularly. “You… wake up.” Her voice was low, akin to a whisper.However, it was so loud inside all of them.
Malikul growled. He had zero fear even though facing the calamity himself. Even he was Ferdinand, the rumored ambitious dragon lord.Malikul squeezed harder, nails threatening to break the skin.Ferdinand sneered, “it would be so easy just to kill me,” he said, making no attempt to defend himself.Shadow snorted, her yellow pupils studied Ferdinand with wonder. Wait a minute… Shadow realized something. The opportunity she was waiting for was here, in front of him, dangling his butt like a fucking masochist.“Go ahead. I know you don’t care about that old fucker. What is he to you, the genius Malikul Afdal, the crown prince?”Shadow focused and shifted her attention fully to him.Akmal made an animated sound at the door.Malikul had no choice but to let him go, feeling his rage yield to his concern. “Whatever you’ve done with my wife’s subordinate, I’ll return to you ten times worse.”Ferdinand slumped on the ground, back slid against the wall. He rubbed his throat and smirked. “How ni
“What is going on? I am a bit confused here.” Ali whispered next to Malikul.Ibrahim listened tentatively silently. He was inclined to believe his daughter had a reason to get so mad. Whatever she said would be presumingly correct and he had nothing to against it. To him, Shadow was never wrong and if she was ever wrong, she was actually right. Whatever it was.Juviana, Miley, Julian, David, and Nathan watched Shadow quietly, controlling their breath, and chased her not far behind, putting a distance. For them, their mental safety was of utmost importance. Her rumors weren’t an exaggeration, if anything, people downplayed them a lot.She wasn’t a sadistic freak, but a silent storm that potentially killed them if they weren’t careful enough.They took off to a foreign kingdom as soon as they were summoned. Best believe they heard no explanation of some sort but her strained voice of her was enough to keep them on their toes.“Is she always… like this?” David gossiped next to his count.
“Where are we going?” Ali tried his luck once again after he was met with cricket.Again, Ibrahim leaned in, attentively listening to any answer.Malikul was unusually quiet down with hunched shoulders. His eyes filled with complicated thoughts though he wasn’t as moody as yesterday. Ali took it as a win. Usually, it would take Malikul more than three days to calm down and converse as usual.“Daddy, uncle,” Shadow replied to them, however.Her voice didn’t indicate anything. The covered face also gave nothing to them.“Familiar with this altitude?”They didn’t have to look around to see what the altitude was. They instinctively knew where the altitude was taking them. In fact, the people behind them also knew. Because this latitude brought them exactly to where they wanted to go. “I don’t really know where we are but I’m familiar with the latitude,” Ibrahim said thoughtfully.“We are at the highest ground, crossing the continent. It is not a western continent.”Nathan who just staye
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
