Hunters: The Prequel Fin
As Atlas spent his time in Nidavellir, seeking to impress his king, the war for Zandor raged on. It may have been peaceful inside the planet - for the enemies who had approached it had all been vanquished- but there were many other warriors who sought to gobble up Zandor for themselves, eagerly fighting outside. It was unfortunate however, that Zandor wasn't easy to breach; and a group of gods and goddesses were having to learn that the hard way."Is this the thirtieth time already?" a large man who easily towered over most others with a height beyond 2 meters, frowned. Next to him was another of a similar size, and this man too had a scowl on his face."Thirty first actually," a woman who was as slender as a bamboo shoot with a face as pale as a sheet of paper smiled blandly and offered a correction. Although she looked like a person who was deathly ill, her face was so beautiful that even the most skilled of artisans would be tripping over themselves to create a masterful attire for

The rogue god continued with his killing. He explored the entirety of the maze, killing those who were lost and those who weren't alike. He was merciless, but none could blame him for his ruthlessness.Outside the maze, a neatly dressed handsome middle-aged man was holding a small orb. This man wore the classical attire of any butler - a white shirt paired with a pair of black trousers, and a black vest. His eyes shone with a golden colour as he stared at the orb he held in his hand. His eyes were ancient and seemed to contain the mysteries of the world. With them, he could see anything; and he did see everything."To think I would meet him here as well," Butler Fin's brightly shinning eyes slowly dimmed and returned to normal. He slowly put the orb he held away, almost as if there was no need to look at what was happening in the maze he had created. And indeed, there wasn't; for the one who Butler Fin had seen through those eyes of his was bound to be the one to escape his maze this

"Now, there nothing left to do but wait for the next stage," Heavenly Demon Kim Min laughed as he watched the spectacle around him. Several dead bodies were strewn carelessly about, with the most recent victim lying breathlessly at the feet of the Heavenly Demon. Heavenly Demon didn't mind the stench of the bodies that were already rotting from the curses that filled his techniques. He sat down comfortably and gazed into the abyss he had created with a look of longing plastered on his face."I cannot wait to face you again old friend Heimdall" he smiled happily, before smacking his lips as though he suddenly recalled something."Ah no," Heavenly Demon Kim Min shook his head and added, "I guess you call yourself Fin now"**********"It has ended," Butler Fin lifted the orb and gazed into the white mist that could obscure the vision of every single god out there. Not even Odin - nor Mimir with all his wisdom - could peer into the secrets of this orb. It didn't matter however, for the o

In one of the many orbs that decided the fates of trapped gods, a middle aged man with a dignified air around him, slowly walked forward. He wore a traditional red robe with several engravings of an eastern dragon. His head was without a strand of hair, as though such a thing was a luxury that tainted the soul. He had nothing on his person but a staff and a set of bangles that decorated his wrists. He walked barefoot, but his feet were not stained by dust. This man was Master Subhuti."To think that Heimdall would prepare such a thing to receive me," Master Subhuti smiled faintly with his eyes slightly closed. He walked through the field of blood and gore without an ounce of discomfort. He didn't seem saddened by the countless lives that had been lost, neither was he worried about the many that would join the dead in drinking from Grandma Meng's Meng Po Soup on the Bridge of Forgetfulness. He had reached a state of absolute serenity; this wasn't enough to disturb his iron heart. Litt

The True Universe was a vast one with many unclaimed territories. However, most of the land in the True Universe had an owner. The Asgardians lorded over the 1st Heaven with a free heart while the Olympians wielded an iron fist over the 2nd Heaven which they had claimed as theirs. The 3rd Heaven was popular for belonging to the Egyptian Gods. That land was one that was filled with chaos and disorder even though it already had a ruler. This was mainly because the gods of Egypt didn’t like to interfere with the lands they governed. If the 3rd Heaven was a lawless place, then the 4th Heaven could be best described as a place of utmost submission. In the 4th Heaven, speaking against the gods or even breathing in their presence was a sign of sacrilege, and the ultimate punishment was death! The Hindu Gods who watched over that land were famous for their merciless way of ruling, and many young stars like Indra had left the 4th Heaven because they couldn’t stand the way of rule in that place

“So now it’s down to those two?” Butler Fin put away the many God Sealing Orbs, leaving only one in his hand. The other God Sealing Orbs had all grown dim, for they had been cleared. After three rounds of fighting between the winners of the other orbs, it had all come down to the last two; the finalists, if you will. “It seems I have made Master Subhuti an unlikely enemy,” Butler Fin sighed with a wry shake of his head. He had been one to never bet on a winner, but he was hoping to avoid Master Subhuti’s wrath. It wasn’t because he was afraid of him, but because he was ashamed.“I didn’t know that he came here with his descendant. Well, it seems even he had no knowledge about the boy’s presence here.”Butler Fin was Heimdal. Although that didn’t mean that he was stronger than Master Subhuti, it meant that he wasn’t weak enough to fear the Taoist Master. He may not be able to win, but he would definitely not die. He didn’t want to face Master Subhuti with the knowledge that it wa
Last Updated : 2023-01-16Hunters: The Prequel Master Subhuti vs Heavenly Demon Kim Min
*Boom*Heavenly Demon Kim Min deftly deflected the blow of the staff and redirected the powerful energy that Master Subhuti wielded to the side, levelling that part of the maze and exposing the wide expanse. His eyes remained on Master Subhuti as energy gathered within his hands. This energy was rapidly transferred to his blade, and the red aura that coated it grew thicker. With a powerful swing Master Subhuti was once again besieged by a sword light, and it was much more powerful than what Kim Min had used before.“Breath: Reinforced Normal Thrust of the Heavenly Demon”“I mustn’t take this head on,” Master Subhuti furrowed his brows and made a decision. He gently turned to the side and pushed himself away from the piercing sword aura that broke apart the winds and opened up new craters in the ground. “Did he really create all these techniques by himself?” Master Subhuti wondered. “If he did, then he is indeed a genius; even if he’s walking down the wrong path.”Heavenly Demo

“How long has it been since I was forced to shed blood?” Heavenly Demon Kim Min wondered as he sprang to his feet as quickly as he had fallen. Although he was hurt, his eyes were still brightly lit. He ignored the injuries that gnawed at his soul and cackled loudly.“You are quite spirited for someone whose lungs have ruptured,” Master Subhuti commented as he slowly made his way over to the Heavenly Demon. Indeed, that seemingly insignificant palm was actually a powerful technique called Shaking Heavens. It was a skill so strong that no weapon could handle it, so Master Subhuti usually delivered it with his own body. However, that also meant that he received a huge penalty for using it.“Is it true that you will be unable to gather your energy properly in the next twenty seconds?” Heavenly Demon Kim Min laughed as he asked.While many didn’t know about Master Subhuti, Heavenly Demon Kim Min wasn’t one of the many. Unlike his careless looking self, he was a very careful man. He knew

Hunters: The Prequel Arriving at Godking Academy
“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
Hunters: The Prequel Departure and Arrival
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
Hunters: The Prequel Dan's Rescue: II
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
Hunters: The Prequel Dan's Rescue: I
“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
