Hunters: The Prequel I Have Returned: II
“Who is that?” the commander of the Dark Kingdom’s pursuit squad wondered as he gazed upon the figure of the scrawny little boy who had charged into the midst of his men. The newcomer looked as fragile as a helpless child, and his energy was nothing impressive. He was as weak as any non-wielding mortal, and the leader of the pursuit team could not help but wonder why he had barged in here so gallantly. The only thing noteworthy about the boy was his looks. His long blond hair cascaded down his shoulders and onto his back like a golden stream, and his blue eyes were reminiscent of the beauty of the deep blue sea. Take those away, and he was just a mortal. The leader wasn’t the only one to express his confusion. The other Ascenders felt the same way. “Do not lose your guard. He is unordinary.” One of the Ascenders frowned and said. His eyes flashed brightly as he assessed Mane, seemingly seeing what the others couldn’t. “See where he jumped from; yet he has no injuries, nor does he pos

Mane Harbinger, Supreme of the True Universe, Killer of the god of Destruction Shiva, and Envoy of the Reaper. The first was his name, and those were his titles. He was young, but he had achieved a number of feats that had placed him on the radar of the Allverse. In comparison to his father, Reus – the Brute King – Mane was having a more eventful childhood. Well, things had become even more turbulent. One could add Slaughterer of the Dark Kingdom to his accolades. For the young Supreme had absolutely decimated the force that had been sent after Hidden Cloak.Scattered around Mane were the bodies of several assassins of the Dark Kingdom. If there was a similarity between the bodies, it would be that all of them died from a single slash! Each one of the corpses had been decapitated, and the plain looks on the faces of most of them suggested that they hadn’t been capable of putting up a valid resistance before they were killed! It was likely that none of them had seen their death coming!

“Master, welcome back,” Aegeus bowed humbly, his knees touching the ground and his head kissing the earth.Mane watched him silently. Aegeus had grown massively. Now a 7th rank Noble, Aegeus was capable of dealing with every average Noble, regardless of their rank. His power was great enough to allow him to face Ascenders and win! Only High-Level Ascenders would be able to take him on now. Without using his spiritual energy, Mane was able to sense this because he was a Scholar.“It’s no wonder he became the spiritual leader of the team even though I put Abe in charge before I left,” Mane thought silently.Aegeus was not a member of Hidden Cloak. Mane had never extended an invitation to him, and he definitely didn’t remember doing so before he left. So, he was certainly surprised when he woke up and was told that Aegeus was leading the team. His confusion had been cleared by what he had seen though. That brief moment in which he had watched his disciple easily deal with Heaven Realmers

“Hahaha! Oh my God! You? You fell in love?! That’s hilarious! Hahaha!” Abe held his tummy and rolled around on the floor hysterically. Although there was still a storm happening right around them and they were surrounded by the corpses of their enemies, Abe was unrestricted in his actions.“What’s ridiculous about that?” Mane’s brows twitched in annoyance as he watched Abe roll willingly in the mud. While the latter could easily coat himself with his energy to keep his clothes clean, Abe had chosen not to.“You? Mane Harbinger?! Dude, when you broke through the entire universe heard your name. You are basically a celebrity now. Yet you still got your heart broken? You? Also, you have no emotions and you have never looked at any woman twice. Do you even know what you are to do in a relationship? You are a child for crying out loud! Hahaha!”“To think that there is one that an speak to the Supreme this way and not be punished in any way for it,” Hildegarde mumbled in awe while watching

“Loki, the one who births the beasts of Chaos that destroy the world. What is one like you doing here?” A beautiful woman with chocolate complexion and eyes that could easily cajole the heart of any man – conservative or liberal – gazed curiously at the man in front of her. For before her was a god whose mischief was known to all the realms. It was this very god who had thrust Asgard into war with the giants once again, and it was he who had pushed Ares to the throne of Olympus!“Do not give me that gaze of naivety or try to deceive me with those pure eyes. We both know you are far too clever to think that would work on me.” Loki, the one who birthed the world serpent and was fated to raise the world destroying wolf, chuckled and spoke. His voice was melodious and soothing, and one would have thought that he was a singer because of how deceptively charming his voice was.“You are right. There is no need to pretend with you.” The woman smiled and said. Her innocent appearance disappear

“What you are asking of me would destroy every bit of reputation that I have built. You are asking for me to smear my reputation for your sake.” Ananse had a huge frown on her face while looking into Loki’s eyes. Even this displeased expression was full of allure, and were this to be any other man, Ananse would have succeeded in beguiling him. Unfortunately, Loki was no ordinary man. Even the charm that worked against gods was useless when placed before him. Casting his eyes away effortlessly and surveying the dangerously sleeping golems that were all around him, Loki nodded his head and said,“I know what I am asking of you is not easy. I understand what it is that I am requesting of you, and it is for that reason that I have prepared a price that I have judged to be equivalent to your sacrifice. The reputation you have built, the good you have done and the relationships you have fortified over millennia; all these you did just for one thing and one thing alone.”“To rack up enough

“What? Did you think your secret was yours alone to hold?” Ananse taunted Loki.“How?”Loki, the man Mane had referred to as Uncle Jake for a large portion of his life, did not deny his identity any longer. He was speaking to one of the most intelligent people in the universe. Ananse had no reason to lie to him, meaning that it was most likely the truth that she had attained her present success by discovering the real meaning behind the prophecies. The Allverse was the only sentience in the myriad of universes that knew everything. At the same time, it knew nothing. It was a contradiction of self that not even Odin could come close to understanding. What they did know however, was that it was the Allverse that rewarded Scholars for their findings. Once truth was given, the Allverse rewarded.“I am not called the Goddess of Wisdom for nothing, Loki.” Ananse shook her head and said.Loki frowned upon hearing her words, but he didn’t push. Just like he had chosen to keep his secrets to h
Last Updated : 2024-01-09Hunters: The Prequel The Reaper And The Golden Sky
“You helped the Supreme escape,” the Golden Sky, the very man who had usurped Zica’s authority and now played king in the Dreamscape Universe, accused.He was in a space that was best described virtual, for it was in a realm between realms. It was similar to where Mane had met Ananse. The Golden Sky, the one called the Usurper, was standing before a throne that was higher than any other. He who was seen as the sky was now before the true sky.“First and foremost, I did not such thing. It was you who did that. By allowing the one he loved to kill him, you helped him accomplish his mission. Secondly, what is wrong with that,” the shrouded figure on the throne asked.Seated on the throne was an entity that was greater than any other in the Allverse. It was he who had confined the Watchers, beings of great power, to a liberal prison. It was he who had interfered in Mane’s test and spoken to the Supreme before he left. It was he who had offered the position of Envoy to the young Supreme of

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
