Mane didn’t see the dagger, so he didn’t pay it any heed. He concentrated all his efforts on the head he was holding.
“Status,” he softly mumbled and proceeded to look at the physical attributes of the deceased lady.
Name: Unknown
Age: 33
Physical Attributes – Strength: 2.7
Agility: 3.8
Stamina: 3.2
Path: Agility Oriented New Type
“Just as I thought,” Mane glossed through her information quickly. He opened the window large enough so that Hildegarde could also see what was on it. Mane’s guess about her agility being her strongest attribute was spot on. However, her strength was several times lower than her stamina or agility. It seemed that she only focused on training what she was good at. That was the right call. Unfortunately for her, she met someone whose agility was higher tha
“It’s too quiet,” a man who was hidden amongst the shrubbery just a few metres away from Dan’s home observed. He was covered entirely in black, and there was a mask concealing his facial features and revealing only his eyes. His eyes were sharp and oppressive, and his body reeked of death. There was a large sword strapped to his back, and a small dagger sheathed at his waist. He was watching the door a few metres away with utmost concentration. This man was the last member of the assassin trio sent to deal with Mane. Just as Hildegarde assumed, he was the strongest of the three and the one leading this mission. And it wasn’t just a slight difference in strength. The two assassins that were inside had their fortes. The female assassin was agility oriented whilst the male assassin was strength oriented. This was because of their specialties as New Types. But their leader was different. He was also a New Type, but he was a much rarer kind. He was a Stamina
“Status”Name: UnknownAge: 44Physical Attributes – Strength: 4.3Agility: 3.9Stamina: 4.9Superior Attribute – Endurance: 4.99Path: Endurance Oriented New Type“Interesting” Mane smiled as he run towards the last assassin left. He found the man’s status interesting not because he was stronger or faster than the other two. He found the man’s status interesting because of the bit about a Superior Attribute. He knew little about New Types. Although the books Dan gave him spoke of them, it mainly had to do with general information. But nothing about Superior Attributes had been stated. Unlike Mystic Path Warriors, New Types didn’t awaken any strange abilities that let them fly or summon fire. What New Types experienced was an increase in the
“That was awesome,” Hildegarde exclaimed with a red face! Now that everything was over, she could appreciate the skill and talent required to best the three assailants.“You think,” Mane replied with a questioning look? “I was a bit disappointed to be honest,” Mane remarked casually as he bent down to appraise the heavy sword on the ground.“Why? You got what you wanted, didn’t you?” Hildegarde didn’t understand why Mane said he was unimpressed. He said he wanted to fight, and he got that. So why was he unsatisfied.“This man outclassed me in every attribute except agility. But I was still able to control the tempo of the battle pretty easily. Why was that?” Mane appreciated the blade of the heavy weapon as he spoke.“Because you are a good thinker,” Hildegarde guessed.“True. I have a good brain” Mane boasted. “But it didn’t factor into this
“Mane! Are you okay? We heard some noise outside so we came out to check”“Oh great” Mane smiled wryly when he saw the figures of Lam and Lily approaching him. Lam was in his sleeping clothes and Lily was wearing a flimsy see-through nightgown.“And I thought I could do things quietly” Mane mumbled as he lamented his bad luck. He hid the rag he was planning to use to clean up the blood and faced the twins. But his actions didn’t change anything. There was a dead body right behind him, and anyone with eyes could see it.“Is that,” Lam was the first of the two to notice that something was wrong? As expected of the smart boy, he immediately realized that Mane was trying to hide something from them.“As I thought. Nothing gets past you huh.” Mane laughed dryly and took a step to the left. The assassin he was trying hard to hide from the twins’ view was displayed before them.&ldquo
“How are you so good at this,” Mane had a positively stunned expression as he watched Lily expertly clean his wounds with a bottle of alcohol. The alcohol was actually a bottle of alcohol rich wine that Old Fan had at home.“This isn’t the first time I’ve had to dress up someone’s wounds,” Lily blushed slightly as she stated. She had a kind smile on her face as she obediently attended to Mane.“I can’t believe she used it,”” Old Fan had tears in his eyes are he watched the bottle of wine that was right next to Lily. The formerly full bottle was now almost empty. Lily had almost emptied the bottle of its entire contents when she was disinfecting Mane’s wounds. She poured the wine on Mane’s hand without holding back, much to the pain of Old Fan.“I was saving that bottle for a special occasion,” Old Fan sniffed sadly.There was one mystery surrounding Old Fan: how did
“How so, Grandfather,” Lam asked?“You want to become a Village Head, don’t you? Although the position is yours by birthright, you aren’t a New Type, and are weak. There would most likely be opposition to your ascension to the seat of Village Head. And this would most likely be led by the current Village Head – Samoa”“But with someone as strong as Mane on your side, that wouldn’t matter. Dan cannot interfere in the affairs of the village due to a promise he made to an old friend many years ago. Or else he would have killed Samoa a long time ago”Lam gulped when his Grandfather mentioned killing Village Head Samoa like it was nothing. But since it was Dan he was talking about, Lam knew it was true. That usually smiling man was vastly stronger than anyone in the village and could kill anyone he wished to kill.“But Mane isn’t bound by any such restrictions and is very young. He may bec
“It’s been an hour. Why haven’t they returned?” Within the house at the centre of the village, an important personage was currently panicking. Village Head Samoa pranced about his hall, his movements similar to a person who was on fire. He seemed very uncomfortable, and he didn’t feel safe in this place he called home.“Master, could they have encountered Sir Dan?”Village Head Samoa wasn’t the only one in this room. There were three other figures with him as well. These three people – who were Village Head Samoa’s personal guards and referred to as the Hands of Samoa – were all dressed in leather armor. Since this village was small and unimpressive, it was very difficult to procure a set of armor, even common leather ones. But the armor the men in this room were wearing weren’t made from common leather. These kind of leather armors were knit with the skins of very tough Magical Beasts. It took ver
20 Years Ago“Samoa, did you see those prints,” within the Enchanted Forest, a handsome young man was hiding within some bushes with his friend. He looked anxious and weary, just like anyone who entered the Enchanted Forest and saw what they had. The man’s name was Joe.“I did Joe. A creature of such power is terrifying.” Right beside the handsome young man was another good looking youngster. This young man looked very similar to Village Head Samoa, only several years younger. This was because this was indeed Village Head Samoa. At least, this was him when he was younger and still inexperienced.“We must get back to the village and let them know what we have found out. The number of creatures has grown by large amount. And added to that terrifying creature…” Joe wiped the sweat off his forehead and spoke anxiously.An Overflow. That was the greatest fear of all who lived close to an Enchanted Fores
“This…is amazing,” Mane’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.The young Supreme was seated on Roxanne. The beautiful dark horse had been granted the power of flight by Crystal who had no trouble casting a flight Lease on the lovely beast. While this was not a permanent condition, it would last hours, and that was thanks to Crystal’s expert command over Chaos. Any other person would have been able to cast this Lease for just under a few minutes. Mane was no exception to this. Even if his power was not sealed, he would not be able to use this Lease to liberally. If this Lease was that practical, it would have been popularized.Next to him, Professors Stern and Stanley, and Dean Desmond had smile plastered on their faces as they watched the Supreme’s gobsmacked reaction to the impressive sight before him. Behind the professors were the students, both old and new. While the older students, Kahn, Frost, Bel, and Maia were floating on their own, the new students had to be envel
“What a brilliant welcome,” Poseidon slowly moved towards the teenage looking Zeus and Atlas with a broad smile on his face.The god of the waves floated elegantly upon a bident, his eyes briefly scanning Atlas before finding his brother’s immature figure.“You have grown weak, brother,” Poseidon chuckled as he slowly flew towards his brother.Atlas, who had been on guard since Poseidon’s appearance, frowned upon seeing the god of the waves getting closer to a much weaker Zeus. His figure flashed as he appeared before Zeus, shielding him from the gaze of his own blood brother. “You have fallen low brother. Now, you require the protection of a titan? Hilarious.” Poseidon mocked as he locked eyes with the delicate looking Atlas. “Of course I have fallen. Not only was I betrayed by my own son, but I also almost died. What did you expect will happen when one who is considered as part of the big three of Olympus approaches a fallen god?” Zeus did not mind his brother’s comments.Instead
Days passed and soon it was time for Mane to leave the planet of the Celestial Emperor. Well, he wasn’t the only one leaving. It was time for the professors to return to their academies with their students – both old and new. In front of the portal that could transport them back to their academies, Mane stood with his friends as they bid each other goodbye. Well, something close to that at least. To give them some privacy, the other professors had gone on ahead with the students, standing a few tens of meters away from the Silver Wolves.“Our great Supreme, our captain and leader, the Unbended is finally leaving us. Whatever are we to do?” Abe waved his hands theatrically as he feigned sadness and pain.His words caused Selina and the twins to snicker. Only Aegeus snorted before shooting Abe a deathly stare. As for Mane, he could only smile wryly at Abe’s comments. He didn’t know when it had started since he had been away for so long in the Dreamscape, but Abe had become more easy goi
It took a week for Godking to complete its assignment and soon, Mane was back on Planet Celestial. Walking through the streets of the capital, he noticed that he was receiving a lot of stares. While it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him given his appearance and his ethereal aura, that was only on Zandor. One could argue that it was because he didn’t look like a Celestial, but that was not accurate either. Since Celestials opened their homes to others who craved entry into the God Academies, they had welcomed several different species into their home world. Mane wasn’t not out of place in this new era, meaning there were definitely staring for another reason.“You have become very popular, young Supreme,” Professor Stern who was walking next to Mane chuckled and said.“Hahaha! The recordings that were taken of you should have spread everywhere by now. Even those who were unable to attend the event know who you are!” Professor Stanley laughed heartily while striking the young Sup
“You are still eating, even after all that happened?” Hildegarde frowned and said.She was looking at the boy who had forcefully taken her with him when he was returning to his realm with a disapproving gaze. They had escaped that world that had been prepared as his burial place. As though it had never happened, they had returned to the exact spot he had been teleported from – the kitchen. Hildegarde was confused about his current reaction.Seeing him biting onto his tuna sandwich caused her eyebrows to lift in frustration. It was the very same meal that Mane had made and had barely taken a bite of when he was transported to another world. And yes, that was not a dream; it had really happened. She couldn’t understand how the Supreme could be so calm after coming out of a life-or-death situation.“What would you have me do then? Toss it into the trashcan? That would be a waste of food.” Mane answered nonchalantly as he wiped some fish from his cheek.“That…” Hildegarde searched for wor
There were many things that could not be understood in this world, regardless of the amount of logic that one’s mind could process at any given moment, there were things that befuddled even the most brilliant minds. One of such brilliant minds – no, two of these – was staring into the sky full of stars with a torn expression on his face. This man – nay, this god – was the trickster and master shapeshifter, Loki. But he wasn’t alone.“What are you thinking about?”“Many things.”“The great Loki has more than one troubling issue? This is interesting. Odin would have laughed at the absurdity of such a statement; but looking at your expression, it seems to be true.”“It is arrogance to assume that one can solve all one’s problems with one’s mind alone. Why do you think I sought you?”“Isn’t it greater arrogance to presume that two would be enough?”“But its not just two is it? One is the mind of Odin and the other is the mind that Odin sought.”“You say you aren’t arrogant, but you do not
He moved quickly, his feet gliding across the floor soundlessly as he reached the Earth Realmer’s unguarded back. He opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, sending it flying towards the neck of his enemy. Before he was spotted by one of the Profound Realmers, his dagger had already pierced the Earth Realmer’s neck, and the latter was grasping at his neck furiously, almost like he could seal the hole and return his blood to his body by doing so.“Intru-“*Puchi*Dan swiftly waved his hands, changing the direction of his dagger and sending it flying into the neck of the Profound Realmer who had tried to sell him out. As he did so he was already sweeping his foot towards the abdomen of another enemy.*Boom*The stunned guard was sent flying into the wall and coughing up blood before he could fully understand what was going on. By this time, the last guard had finally caught up. He dashed towards Dan quickly, drawing his sword in the process. Without any hesitation he swung his blade at
“There really is no one impressive here,” Dragon King Bast stated as his sword sliced through a Noble as easily as cutting through tofu.“I knew he said he will make sure this place is left almost unguarded, but this is incredible,” Captain Hafiz muttered as he watched the disciplined legion of warriors beelining into their path.While he spoke calmly, his rioting aura and the violence being radiated in his eyes showed his eagerness for war. He was not the only one expressing such deathly intent. Every member of the Sun Squad was ready to go wild, their eyes gleaming just as dangerously as their captain.“Why are you people talking so much. Let’s fight!” Monkey King Hanuman roared out and jumped towards the approaching legion.While the others were a bit taken aback that there were none of the Skies here to face them, Monkey King Hanuman didn’t care about that. Last he remembered, several of the Skies had died on his planet, leaving only the strongest behind. Since Loki said he would
Back in the Dreamscape Universe, there was a war raging. While it wasn’t overt, citizens in every world could feel that the drums of war had been brought out. They had not been embroiled in chaos yet, but they knew that soon the drum beaters will strike down, announcing the start of another war, and this world would fall into disorder again.The one who stood at the centre of this war were preparing in their own right. Within the camp of ‘good’, Loki, Ananse, and Zica, gathered allies. So far they had attracted the likes of the Barbarian Primogenitor, Red Rose, and some of the Barbarian Ancestors. Destiny and Pathfinder were here along with a few other unknown ancestors. As if that wasn’t enough, the Barbarian Lord, Magma, and his Flames, had also escaped the confines of their home to join this war. They weren’t the only ones that had stepped up though. The Elementals had not hesitated to send their best as well. Ancestor Spector had arrived with a few other ancestors from Amalgamatio
