Village Head Samoa was narrating the incidents of the past to the three Thrashers under his command. Of course he didn’t know anything about Dan’s secret or the Ancients, but he told them what he knew of the battle all those years ago and what had happened.
“So we would have been nothing impressive in those days,” Scarred Boar sighed after Village Head Samoa was done with his narration. Hearing that the village had over twenty Predators, of which 15 were Tigers was truly eye opening. In times were there were as many as 75 Thrashers, they who were also Thrashers wouldn’t have been anything much in such a line up.
“It’s unbelievable really. If it came from anyone else, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Hidden Boar shook his head with a bitter smile. He was a proud warrior, and hadn’t seen the village as something worthy of his services. After all, he only chose to become part of the vi

“What was that?” Mane’s muscles tightened in cautiousness when he felt the house tremble. But before he could rise to investigate and understand what exactly was going on, a supple figure fell within his arms.“Sorry!” Lily quickly apologized as she tried to push herself away from Mane’s strong arms. “It was because of the earthquake! I…I…I lost my balance and fell. Sorry!” Her face was dyed red as she fumbled for words whilst trying to explain how she lost her balance. Because they were seated on the same chair and very close to each other, it was understandable how she ended up in his arms. After all, unlike Mane who had immediately held himself steady when he felt the earth beneath his feet tremble, Lily had no such ability. As an average person, she didn’t have the control and precision required to keep her body unmoved even under a vigorous shaking like this one.“It’s no problem,&rdqu

*Crack*“And that’s the last one,” Mane stated nonchalantly as he tossed the large beast he was holding onto the ground. The large corpse joined a plethora of corpses similar to it in physique with the ground littered with them. The beast was reddish black in color with the physique of a bull. But it had far longer and stronger horns. This beast wasn’t a Magical Beast but had a physique comparable to a Low Class Magical Beast, only slightly weaker.“This can’t be what you had in mind. They are so much weaker than I thought” Mane looked dissatisfied as he grumbled.“Easy steps kid,” Dan’s figure flashed as he disappeared from his former position and reappeared right next to Mane. He ruffled Mane’s golden hair with a small grin on his face as Mane tried to get the man off him. Mane was tall, but Dan had the physique of a hulk. So Mane still looked like a kid before the giant man. After several dozen

Feeling the killing intent radiating out of Mane, Dan was slightly taken aback. As someone who had killed his fair share of people and had sent off many into the underworld prematurely, he was very sensitive to killing intent. The density of blood that whirled around Mane’s figure as he spoke of killing people was almost as much as, if not more than his! He felt like he could hear the voices of those who had fallen victim to Mane’s sword screaming for justice, and the strength of their voices shook his soul. So much so that he was sure that each of these victims were strong enough to hold their own in this world. He couldn’t help but wonder what exactly Mane’s life was before he met him.“Wait,” Dan felt a strange energy that shook him out of his thoughts. They had just found the exit of the forest and were about leaving, but he could feel a few strange presences outside the forest. They were lying in wait.“Someone’s wai

For the past month Mane had been meditating every afternoon, trying to sense the power of Edict which he had been so familiar with ever since he started wielding. And for an entire month, he had failed. At first he thought that was because this planet was devoid of the unique energy, but then his thoughts changed as he started to look at things from a different perspective: What if there was Edict on this planet but he just couldn’t feel it?As he started thinking along these lines, he felt that it was increasingly possible that this was the truth. Finally he came to the conclusion that it really wasn’t that this planet was lacking in Edict, but the bodies of the inhabitants of this planet that was the actual problem. These bodies were almost like defective products compared to Mane’s actual body in the real universe, and Mane reckoned that the reason he couldn’t feel edict was because he was in one of these bodies. Just a day before he had been wonder

“To think I would meet him in this place,” Mane thought bitterly as the last pangs of fire were absorbed into his body. He gazed around him and was amazed by what he saw. With his True Eyes still opened, he saw things very differently from what normally met the eye. He could see everything on a deeper level. He looked at Dan and was surprised by what he saw. He saw through his guardian’s clothes, past the toned abs and masterfully sculpted physique, and into his internal system. He saw 14 stars in Dan’s body; some of which were lit up, and some of which were dim. Mane noticed that although the stars weren’t the same size, they each had their uniqueness.“There are two kinds: The red stars and the white stars; although it seems that the red stars are more robust and stronger than the white stars. There are seven of each type, but with varying sizes. Dan has only lighted the white stars; the red ones, not so much. Each lit star contains some

“What happened back there? How were you able to connect to Edict?” Hildegarde who was seated atop Mane’s shoulder asked the young man who was gazing at his reflection in a bowl of water. After Mane killed the banshees, he and Dan returned to the village. Of course Dan questioned him about the bizarre sight that was Mane being burnt alive but not burning at all. Mane responded that he didn’t have a clue about what happened. He told Dan that just when he had made up his mind to escape the fireball, he had a strange feeling in his heart that there was no need to. He explained that he felt that the fire was beneficial for him, and not detrimental. But he didn’t know why he had that feeling or how he was able to withstand the flames and had even grown stronger instead. And to this Dan joked that Mane may be the son of a Phoenix and could be strengthened with flames, and that if he had known this when he met Mane he would have just set him on fire to treat his wounds instead.

“Now I can scrutinize myself freely” Mane remarked as he stood within the walls of the relatively large bathroom. There was a bucket of water right next to him, and a large rectangular crystal called a Reflection Crystal bound to the wall that served a similar function to a mirror. Although the image that appeared in the crystal wasn’t as clear as a mirror image, it was pretty good and would serve the purpose for which Mane wanted it to.Since Mane couldn’t share the secret of the True Eyes with Hildegarde, he couldn’t use it liberally around her. Sure it was true that whenever he called upon the ancient eyes that belonged to the Origin King of Old time ceased to exist, but it was very draining to depend on the eyes in that manner. But Mane didn’t need long to analyse what he wanted to analyse. He just needed to be alone.Mane took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He tried willing the True Eyes to appear, but without the Time Stop

“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
Hunters: The Prequel What Was Gained
“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
Hunters: The Prequel The Woman and the Cat
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
