Along with the thunderous clap of thunder and a flash of lightning that struck the ground and lit up the slowly brightening sky, Mane appeared before the gates of the Citadel. His eyes were shut as though in contemplation, and the aura that surrounded him slowly faded away. The power of lightning that he had so carelessly unleashed upon his surroundings faded slowly, and the singing throes of thunder disappeared as well.

“To think we could travel in such a way,” Hildegarde watched her surroundings in surprise. Just a moment ago they were on the outskirts of Gowen City. However, in merely a few minutes, they had arrived at the Citadel.

“When you said it would only take a few minutes I was skeptical. I guess I ought to have more faith in you.” Hildegarde leapt off of Mane’s shoulder and flew next to him. Her eyes scanned the large castle gates before her eyes and she picked up the faint barrier that surrounded the walls of the Citadel.

“You should always have faith,” Mane finally sp

    “They seem upset,” Mane smiled as he spoke to Hildegarde discretely. “Of course they are upset,” Hildegarde rolled her eyes in exasperation. “You literally landed here without any prior notice within a bolt of lightning. Besides, look around you?” Hildegarde pointed at the giant crater that spanned several hundreds of meters. Mane stood at the center of this crater, with the damage being so expansive that the men who surrounded him had to hop down into the crater and run for a few hundred meters before getting to him. “Well I guess anyone would be upset if their home was wrecked – even if the part that was destroyed is just the outskirts,” Mane smiled bitterly and said. “However, is it wise to come out a barrier that can protect you from Ancients just to satisfy one’s curiosity or even worse, uphold one’s pride?” Mane asked Hildegarde. “Sigh,” Hildegarde rubbed her forehead helplessly. What Mane was subtly hinting at was that the Citadel had grown arrogant. As a city – no, a nation

    The heart of the captain went cold when he heard Caitlin’s words. He struggled to lift his head but his neck would not even make an attempt to fulfil its task. This alone paired with the monstrous pressure bearing upon his bulky physique was enough to convince him that Caitlin’s words were not mere drivel. Even without personal confirmation he was sure that the boy was really the God Slayer.“I should have checked the portrait that time,” the captain moaned ruefully. On the day that a meeting was held to discuss the God Slayer, all captains were invited to see the portrait of the God Slayer. He was out on a mission at the time and returned the day after. Upon his return, he was told to check the God Slayer’s portrait so that if he was ever to meet him outside, he would not offend him. However, he had dismissively said he wasn’t going to leave the Citadel anytime soon, and that he would come check it out when he was ready to leave. He sent Caitlin in his place and she came back making

    “What do you mean by ‘created him’?” Hildegarde asked, baffled by Mane’s choice of words. “Are you saying that he is an artificial creation?” Hildegarde asked, wondering if the Ancients had been able to reach such a high realm of technological advancement.“Not artificial per se. It is almost like they captured a human baby and loaded it with Ancient blood to force a mutation,” Mane scanned Razer thoroughly as he spoke. His words caused Razer’s expression to turn sour, and the slight tremble that was elicited due to Mane’s words was picked up by Mane’s strong senses.“I can’t imagine how many people that they killed to produce just one of you – but I cannot help but wonder if there is only one,” Mane’s eyes grew cold when he spoke the last words, his bright eyes boring into Razer’s soul.“How are you even related to such lunatics?” Hildegarde shivered as she thought of the countless infantile lives that must have been lost in the Ancient’s bid to create someone like Razer; and if M

  • Hunters: The Prequel   Hanuman

    Elder Hanuman sat alone in the great hall. His eyes were as white as snow with no pigment staining the clear pool that filled those sockets. His hair was whit and long, and so were his eyelashes. His beard covered half of his face, but it was well trimmed and didn’t give off an unsightly image. He wore a large cloak that covered much of his physique, making it impossible to tell if he was slender or muscular.“This is truly how one is meant to live,” Elder Hanuman smiled as he sipped the glass of wine in his hands with the elegance of one who was used to the many but restricted luxuries of life.Elder Hanuman rocked in his chair silently, calmly sipping his wine. Occasionally he sat up to refill his empty glass, but that was the only active movement he performed outside his wine drinking. His eyes were closed as enjoyed this moment. Suddenly his eyes snapped open as annoyance flashed past those pupil-less eyes. Soon, the object of his dissatisfaction became clear.“Elder,” a young man

    “Elder Hanuman,” the Dragon Lord’s voice seethed with the rage of a man whose commands had been disregarded repeatedly.“You shall refer to him by his title. His age isn’t yours to exploit.” The cold eyes of the Dragon Lord bore into Elder Hanuman, causing his expression to grow stern for a brief period; however, that was all it was. His smile soon returned to his face, and he replied calmly,“But of course. In our world, strength is much more important than age. After all, how could one forget that many of your extraordinary feats occurred in your youth.”The words of the elder caused the light in the Dragon Lord to glow even brighter as his mind discerned the hidden meaning behind the elder’s words. Although it sounded like Elder Hanuman was conceding a point to the Dragon Lord, any one with a foot in the world of politics could sniff out the threat in his words. Usually the Dragon Lord would brush over it and turn the other cheek; however, today was no ‘usual’ day and the one who r

    Under the weight of the Dragon King’s true aura, Elder Hanuman could not muster the strength necessary to even part his lips, much less strike his teeth with his tongue to generate a response. Although the man before him was asking a question, he was not giving him the right to answer!“I really have gone too far huh,” Elder Hanuman thought bitterly as he watched the Dragon Lord unsheathe his official blade. The Dragon Lord had already made his mind by now. He was going to punish the noble elder so that he would never forget the weight of his authority ever again; and he was going to do so with the blade that never saw blood. The ceremonial blade was a precious artefact made from a variety of precious materials and was seldom used in battle. The last time it had been wielded was when the Citadel was in crisis during the time of the True Dragon Lord and every King after him had been reluctant to use this famed sword for trivial matters. However, Elder Hanuman seemed to have removed the

    Mane stood within the centre of the city with his arms crossed. Like a straight pole embedded into the earth, he didn’t move nor did the furious storm stirred up by his power ruffle his clothes. “Are you not going a bit overboard?”Hildegarde asked as she flew around her Tested. Looking at the countless humans running for safety, she worried about the aggressiveness Mane was displaying and wondered if he was losing control again. However, when she stared into the eyes of the one called Mane Harbinger, her worries were put to rest. Within those beautiful blue orbs was a storm of fury waiting to explode; but that was all it was. It was a chained storm that hadn’t gained free reign. The bright eyes of the Supreme flickered with understanding and control. His emotions weren’t in control of his fiery self; he was. There was only one ruler here, and it was him! “I know what you are worried about; but I would advise you to throw away such worries,”Mane reassured Hildegarde that he was fine.

    History is written by the winner; losers have no right to tell their tale. However, even as a loser I will tell my story. I ought to, since I was the one who started this mess.Ever since I was a child, I had been raised with one belief: The Citadel is invincible. This belief has been my bread and butter - my daily bread - which I genuinely cherish. I muttered it each day I woke up and each time that I swung my sword against the Academy’s practice dummy I reminded myself that this was the truth. I grew strong, so much so much so that even those who wielded greater energy than me couldn’t dismiss me. Before long I was leading my own team under the banner of the elders of the Citadel.I have been sent on many missions. Many areas have required my power over the past few years and rarely have I let the city I was born in down. My mission success percentage has always been 100% and there is no team in the Citadel that can boast of such a record. If the elders needed something done with

    “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

  • 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

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.
