Atlas: Part I
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The palace of the Celestial Emperor was like a shrine. And every shrine had strict laws governing it. Such laws made it almost impossible for those who didn’t fit within the confines of these laws to get into the shrines. Just like shrines were limited to priests and devout worshippers, the Celestial Palace was limited to only a select few – the aides and trusted confidants of the Celestial Emperor. Not even the concubines and children of the Celestial Emperor were allowed into the palace. That was how restricted the place was. However, there were exceptions to every restricted space. And that exception was the absolute ruler of this planet and its strongest denizen – the Celestial Emperor. There were times the Emperor of the Celestials summoned some into the palace. However, he rarely summoned his own children unless it was to declare something of supreme importance. Yet he had now.
Of the Emperor’s bloodline, there were several talents. However, the

Atlas, the most feared and respected man in the entire planet was all smiles as his daughter run into his arms to embrace him. His eyes were narrowed into slits of joy as he held on to the tender girl he had held as a baby only about two decades ago. Oh how she had grown.“Haha. If anyone sees you now Father, they would be calling you Canyon’s Mouth, not Sharon,” of the three children, Shanxi was the last to reach the emperor’s side. He laughed heartily when he saw how far his father’s smile stretched. It was fascinating that the man many disregarded when it came to the parenting department, was this loved by his children. And they acted so freely around him that it was so impressive that the Emperor’s lies had stood all these years. For the rumors remained the same.“Indeed. Haha.” Atlas laughed joyfully as he held his daughter. He was always excited to see his children because he didn’t get to see them that often.

“Indeed. Mistress Yue Lao isn’t one to be taken lightly,” Celestial Emperor Atlas nodded his head in agreement. Not only did he know the legends surrounding Yue Lao, he was of such a high status that he could verify their authenticity. And they were all true. There was no falsehood in those legends.“She will help you channel the kindness in your heart into Edict,” Atlas smiled and rubbed Sharon’s head lovingly. Yue Lao wasn’t a mere Ascender. She was a goddess! A goddess who embodied love and peace. Yet if provoked, she was able to transfer the positive feelings in her heart into actual energy – energy which she used to combat any forces that stood against her.And that was why Sharon had been chosen to study under Yue Lao. When the goddess met Sharon, she was drawn by the girl’s innocent and childish demeanor. Whereas others like Atlas saw an overgrown child, Yue Lao saw someone who could carry her mantle –

“There are at least several hundreds of them in the bag!” Sharon’s eyes lit up like bright stars within the vast cosmos as she screened the contents of the bag. The bag was a large one, and the energy crystals were tiny existences. Just a handful of crystals amounted to about 15 or so in total. Which meant that there were at least a thousand Energy Crystals in the bag!“Indeed. There are actually 2500 crystals in total within that bag.” Shanxi pointed at the large bag and gave a more accurate estimate of the bag’s contents. Sharon’s mouth opened wide in an exaggerated manner as the crystals she held in her hands slipped onto the ground.Sarong’s body flashed like a dark comet as he disappeared from his initial position and reappeared right next to Sharon. His arms moved like the dark hands of fate as they grabbed the energy crystals Sharon had so carelessly let go of before they could hit the ground.“Good ca

“How was it? Seeing your siblings again after all this while?” Alas asked Shanxi. Both Sarong and Sharon were nowhere to be found. All that remained were the traces of their battle against their brother Shanxi. For the formerly orderly hall was now disorderly.The thick special walls that couldn’t be dented even by the hand of an Earth Realmer now sported several sabre scars that were half a finger deep. On the ground of the specially made floor were axe marks as well. The entire room was filled with the results of a ‘friendly’ duel. And the furniture that adorned the place were now destroyed, completely turned to dust. And since there was no furniture to sit on, both Atlas and Shanxi were seated on the ground. Yet even such positions didn’t diminish the elegance or charm that they carried.“You know I love seeing them. It was great as always.” Shanxi had a leisurely smile on his face as he spoke of his siblings. His skin

“He did. And I understood the death he spoke of. He struck me and I died. But I was reborn in the body of another. As for the rest of the story, you know it.”Shanxi nodded his head in reply. That was because he truly did know the rest of the story. “So that’s how you got Perpetual Rebirth,” Shanxi sighed in exhaustion. He had learned a lot in the space of a few breaths.He knew, just like Anna and Peter that their father had a unique skill. This was the skill called Perpetual Rebirth. This skill allowed the user to be reborn in the body of another, no matter how madly mutilated they were before they died. The downside was that you couldn’t personally select what body you would inherit. So you could end up as an old man, or as a newborn. It was even possible to find yourself back in the womb! Luckily it was quite picky too. Perpetual rebirth only picked targets with great strength and impressive talent. So even if you ended up in the
Hunters: The Prequel A Self-Imposed Seal
The True Universe was one huge place. Although it was populated by many, there were still places left unexplored. 7 Heavens and countless galaxies meant that the True Universe was much grander than any other. And this also meant that it was impossible to learn everything about it. Even if the Dark Realm was excluded, there were several other realms that remained unexplored. And each day an eager spirit full of life and exuberance set out on a quest to discover the unknown. At times the quests were completely voluntary, with the explorers fully keen of finding out the unknown. There were also those who embarked on such quests through no fault of theirs. If they had their way, they wouldn’t want to leave their places of comfort. But one couldn’t always have their way now, could they?There were many races that populated the Universe. And each race was unique in its own way. Even for races that shared very similar looks and characteristics, they had their own differe

“Dracula pays his respect to the Allfather, Odin – King of Asgard,” Dracula bowed slightly in relief when he confirmed the one inside the light pillar was indeed Odin. The man was wearing a long, black robe that concealed everything – from his golden armor to his brilliant yellow hair – but his golden eye and the ravens upon his shoulders. The staff within Odin’s hand contained so much power that Dracula shook from being in such close proximity with it, an action that didn’t go unnoticed by the Allfather.“You are extraordinary indeed. To be able to smell Gungnir’s might even when its power is hidden is an extraordinary feat.” Odin praised, his voice more soothing than it was commanding.“You flatter me beyond my abilities, O Wise One,” Dracula maintained his humble stance, whilst using the opportunity to redirect Odin’s praise back to him.“I know what I speak. I sense great pow
Hunters: The Prequel Mane and Sunflower
In the True Universe, many rallied behind their new King. Many picked up their arms, ready to stand behind the one whose destiny had been written in the stars long before his birth. Some had already passed through the dimensional gate. Yet the Dreamscape’s weird time laws meant that they may not necessarily arrive at the time they were supposed to. They may arrive several years into the future, a few minutes into the present, or even in the past. Yet that mattered little to the person in question – Mane – for right now he had his hands full.Mane was stooped over his study table, overlooking the designs he received just a day ago. He was clad in nothing but a pair of sleeping shorts, leaving his trunks and legs bare. In his hand was a large towel, and his hair was wet, indicating that he had just come out of the shower. Though his hair wasn’t completely dry, and though it fell carelessly upon his forehead and covered up his eyes, the water of his hair

“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
Hunters: The Prequel Brothers Reunited
“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
Hunters: The Prequel Way Forward
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
Hunters: The Prequel Breakout!
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
