“Those bastards are planning to corrupt innocent children, turn their back on their families, and bring chaos to the world,” Malikul added a few more.He stated further that T-Vir conquered The Unknown with maximum effort. Conspiring with other clans or tribes greatly benefits them. “Bull community, feather clan… I also can see a few deers in the colony.” Ya’acub mumbled.“What an unusual colony.” She mumbled under her breath. But then, Shadow’s brow arched at an impossible level, starting to feel weird. Her tongue inside the mouth moved awkwardly around, as she listened further without interfering until she was satisfied.Ya’acub brought out the captured pictures and tossed them to the table. “This is the evidence of my claim.”Shadow and Malikul craned their necks and picked them unhurriedly. Their eyes stared long enough at each other's photos.Suddenly, their minds started to think about other stuff. The advantage of working with Ya’acub was the ease of collecting a little more
Daud's contour became rigid as he stood in the same place as yesterday. It was late evening and he wasn’t alone.Due to special passes, the royal families gathered at the specific spot with wary eyes fixated on the Hyena brothers.“Damn you.” Daud rubbed his tired eyes. They were here not only because he was her brother, but also as the portal creator. The unplanned gathering with the royal family late in the evening put his mood off. He was already knee-deep in his work, and his sister threw him into a new responsibility yet again.“Why are you guys here?” He scratched his itchy head and failed to compute their sudden interest.“We want to meet her family members. Her siblings deserve our sincere welcome.” Shadow narrowed her eyes at Ibrahim.“It’s the truth!” Ibrahim said more harshly, trying to pin some unknown point.Both Daud and Shadow rolled their eyes.“They are here not for fun, daddy. It’s for their new mission.”That explained all the Hidden members who were standing arou
“That’s right. That’s who I am. Here are you faring under the new rule of the wise emperor?”The sudden interrogation met with only a wind sound. No one answered her playful question and plastered their gazes on the ground.“Hah!” Shadow scoffed in excitement. Her expression was so clear as she opened her arms. “You did it, brother!” She jumped into his arms.The ultimate submission. The 'never answering the rhetorical question.'“Yeah, I did,” Hisoka said gleefully.Later, Shadow stood right in front of them, delving his hands inside her pockets with Hisoka beside her, also pointedly ignoring the royal family.“Listen up. As you know, your arrival into this new territory is not for fun. Your existence is to fulfill my wish, and quench my thirst, and mine alone.”She stopped momentarily and stared at each one of them. Hyena was also already in the group, kneeling amongst them with their heads bent down.“Before that… sister.” Hisoka dropped the formality and said in a whisper-like voi
The dragon kingdom was based on the edge of the Philippine island – deep in an untouchable forest that was off-chart. The island was covered with nothing boulders all around – for some reason – the flames engulfed on top of the boulders systematically, licking a few lines of stones around as smock thick enough to choke on filled the air.The moment she touched down the area, the alarm was constantly beeping out loud and a few sounds of the dragon roar warned her to forward.Ignoring the apparent warning, Shadow kicked the ground and traipsed at the entrance with two lions and two wolves behind her. The monkey and the falcons were long gone – following Mandrill Monkey as what she wanted.In front of her, the massive gates – 10 meters big – were tightly closed. She looked up and estimated her strength before a few small dragons poured out from the sky and aimed their arrows at Shadow. Their actions didn’t go unnoticed or even brought pleasure to Shadow.Under the mask, Shadow clenched
The news of her appearance spread far deep into the kingdom. Royal knights created a single path as the citizens lingered along the passage with hearty eyes. Wearing a mask, and covering up with work attire, only her yellow eyes were visible for them to see. “Huwwwaaaa~” A loud exclamation vibrated in the air.Shadow was mounting King, Double was striding side by side with King and the two wolves guarded her back. Their eyes ran from Shadow to her animals. Apart from Shadow, her closest animals were also a hot topic in The Unknown. The lions symbolized their relation with the lion tribe and the wolves symbolized her relation with the wolf tribe. She felt and heard the cheer along the passage with her head hanging higher. Angelo walked beside her, introducing the place to her ear, pointing his finger at everything around them. The passage ended right in front of the palace’s gate. The cheers were still vibrating the air and the hail song was still echoed through the wind. Shadow
Once she entered the room yet again – which was 15 minutes later – the room had been tidied up and the broken things had been magically fixed. Angelo showed her to the center of the room where the set of couches rounded the coffee table with Nathan handsomely sitting on a two-seat couch.“Please find your seat.” Nathan smiled at her and subtly gestured his eyes at the empty one-seat couch next to him.“Huh~” Shadow felt a sudden headache. “Is it okay for me to abuse my power? You’re the ruler of this kingdom. I’m merely an uninvited guest. So why the fuck do I need to sit on that uncomfortable seat?” Shadow pointed out the bizarre situation she was in.A smile on his face wiped out as soon as she humbled herself in front of him and his subjects. “Before you are my guest, My Lord, you’re the mediator recognized by The Unknown. Second of all, you are my master and I’m your servant.”The last word made the workers and Angelo snap their heads at both of them. It was basically a confirmati
And Shadow kept her word.“I did get better.” He said in a fascinated voice. “She fixed my sorry body and stitched my broken core until it was good as new.” Nathan shook his head and clasped his mouth in shock. “No, I don’t do her justice. My core is way better than before.”“Was she the reason you became remarkably strong after you returned?”Nathan still watched Shadow in his meaningful gaze.It was because what Shadow did couldn’t be easily repaid with simple gestures and empty words alone.She had fixed his body and corrected his core. Additionally, she also trained him to strengthen his core and create a regime that was suitable for his recovery. Shadow was there in every step he took.She protected him in his vulnerable moment and made him stronger by wanting nothing in return.People always said, with great help, came with great favor. So, he prepared himself for any hell that might come his way. He was ready to follow all her ridiculous and outrageous demands.He was hella pre
The meeting between her and Nathan went smoothly. They concluded the meeting with massive success. The dragon race would join in the fun. A selected talented few were selected after strict consideration and their status was compiled for Shadow’s eyes.“Look. This is one of my best warriors to exist.” At one point, Nathan had let out his black long tail and wagged aggressively. The thin folder was pushing toward Shadow as his proud gaze lingered on her.Promptly, Shadow took the folder and flipped through the page in a few seconds. The fast-reading ability was already known to Nathan, there was no point to act as if she hadn’t had the power.She placed the folder back on the table.“I will choose number 12, 23, 50…” she continued to choose 20 candidates that she deemed worthy as Nathan flipped through the pages and marked each page for reference.Then, he looked up and realized something. “What about number 2, My Lord?” The second page was Angelo. Nathan was on the first page. It was
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
