In one of the rooms of the Orange Mansion (as it was now being called since the Orange Team had won the Grand Tourney and achieved permanent mansion status), a pale faced Lam was lying on a bed, unconscious but alive. His entire frame was covered with a large blanket, and from time to time his brows furrowed like he was in pain.
Next to him was a weary looking Lily. Her beautiful face was stained with tears, and her eyes were heavy with exhaustion. There were dark circles hugging her eyes and her haggard looking hair suggested that she hadn’t taken a shower for some time. Yet none of this bothered her. Her green eyes were fully placed on the figure lying on the bed. For right now, it was only her brother’s health that concerned her. She was so focused on her brother that she didn’t even notice the door open. Neither did she see the one who had just come in. Maybe it was because she was too tired to really sense anything. Or it could even be that she wasn&rsq
This world was without a name to most, but that was only to most. Since humans were the most plentiful species on the surface of this planet, they were the ‘most’ here. But to those who didn’t occupy the entire land yet had greater talent and skill, this world was the World of the Three Races. It had been named so several millennia ago, before other races were born. Before the humans came to occupy most of this world it was known by that name. And if the Three Races didn’t wish for the humans to occupy this world the humans would have never gained a foothold. These Three Races were also known as the Three Great Races, and they were the Barbarians, Elementals and Ancients.Even now, with the power the Three Races commanded, every human was in great trouble. Even Lions, Eagles and Snakes didn’t control their own destiny. To the Three Great Races, Predators were nothing but mid-tier warriors. They were nowhere near the cream of the crop. After Preda
“Search for its tracks,” the Barbarian Lord ordered, and both men took different sides. One took the path to the Lord’s left, whereas the other opted to search the path to the Lord’s right.“Here Lord,” the one on the right exclaimed. “It passed here,” he continued and pointed at a large paw print that was almost as large as he was! The print was so deep that it was impossible to miss, for it had almost carved out a ditch on the snowy ground!“Let’s go,” the Barbarian Lord nodded his head when he saw the print. His eyes flashed in anticipation and battle lust, but he hid them quickly and followed the large prints, with his subordinates always within a meter of him. As they moved, they came across more prints, each one deeper than the last one. They were getting closer.“We are here,” the Barbarian Lord stated with a bit of excitement seeing their prey. Several dozens of feet away from
“Look,” one of the Barbarians stated, his finger pointing at Magma. “They are about to get serious,” he added. The other nodded his head in agreement. Magma had returned his axe to his dominant right hand, and his aura was steadily climbing up again. The Ice Bear had extended its formerly retracted claws as well. Each claw was as long as Magma and was extremely sharp. Its aura climbed up steadily as well as both – man and bear – prepared to clash once more. *Roar*“Roar”Both roared like beasts unhinged. Like animals unbound after decades in captivity they allowed their bloodlust to take over, and they crashed into each other for the second time already.Magma started to spin when he was only within a few meters of the Ice Bear. As he span the snow and ice around him were forcefully removed and gathered around the Barbarian Lord. His turbulent aura was like glue, keeping the snow and ice in a constant whirlwind round him. The Ice Bear was like a merciless brute. Eac
“It should be over by now” two Barbarian men stood at the foot of Ice Frost Mountain with three large tigers. Their half-naked bodies were entirely covered in snow, just like the tigers next to them. These men were the Barbarian warriors who had accompanied their Lord on his journey. Due to their superior physical abilities they were able to escape Ice Frost Mountain before the avalanche that had been caused by their Lord and the Ice Bear got to them. And they retreated with the Golden Eyed Tigers while they were at it. After all, although Golden Eyed Tigers were Fire Elemental Magical Beasts, they wouldn’t be able to survive a snow avalanche. It was a disaster that even warriors at their level feared, much less Legendary Class Magical Beasts like Golden Eyed Tigers.“It should,” the other Barbarian nodded his head in response to his friend’s earlier words. His name was Rasa, and he was a Pseudo Phenom just like Magma. His friend was Waska an
Intersection was a beautiful city, and unlike many other cities in the world it didn’t have the problem of overcrowding. There weren’t that many slums, and the people were well taken care of. Intersection’s walls were tall and fortified with barriers that hid it from the outside world. So even if one was able to go past the three Great Mountains, they wouldn’t be able to get into Intersection without permission.At the centre of this grand city was a large palace. The palace was built with red stones similar in structure to White Stones. They were strong and tougher than White Stones, and could only be breached by Nightmare Level Powerhouses! This palace was the home of the Barbarian Lord and his family. And it was this very same palace that housed the Barbarian Ancestors whenever they were present in Intersection.Currently the most important men and women of the Barbarian Race were gathered in this mansion. They were all gathered within a larg
Dark Valley: a land that flowed with blood and reeked of death. It was located in the furthest part of the wilderness and was said to be a place protected by the gods. There were many legends about the place, but perhaps the most famous of them all was the Legend of the Fruit of Immortality. It was believed that Dark Valley was a land that grew the mythical fruits called Fruits of Immortality. It was believed that when this world was created, an Immortal Tree was born with it. And this tree bore Immortal Fruits every 200 years. It was also believed that anyone who ate of these fruits would live forever. It was said that the reason why Dark Valley was so dangerous was because there were powerful beasts christened by the Creator of this world to guard the tree. Apparently these powerful beasts were the ones that dealt with every person who entered Dark Valley.As for how such a legend came about, it was likely because of the fact that even from far away, people could see a towe
“That’s the last one,” Mane stated as he tossed a humanoid creature onto the ground. This creature was shaped like a human. It had arms and legs and even a face. However its arms were longer than the average human’s, and its fingers held sharp and pointy claws. The ugly beast was stockier than an average human but shorter. The creature was green with very thick skin, and had pointy ears. Its eyes were the same color as its skin, green, and its teeth that were exposed from its open mouth were sharp and pointy. This creature was called a Green Goblin.Once the dead goblin fell onto the ground its body was engulfed in crimson flames that swallowed it whole. The flames lit up the dark environment, and several other burnt up corpses could be seen littered all around the place. The corpse of the beast was quite tough, for it took more than three seconds for it to burn up completely. And this was a magnificent feat considering that Mane’s flames couldn&
Mane and Lily rode their Red Maned Horses side by side. Naturally because of Mane’s ability to sense everything around him once they were within 500 meters, he was able to engage in casual conversation with Lily without worrying too much about being caught unaware by a sneaky beast. The light from their second Light Grass illuminated their surroundings and allowed them to see what was ahead of them and around them. They came across a lot of goblins, and so far they had been able to handle them fairly easily. Mane mostly burned the goblins they came across with his father’s technique, Fire Phoenix Flames. He was basically using them to train his fire proficiency. Of all his elements, Earth was the one with which he had the highest understanding, and although the elements weren’t skills, one’s level of elemental mastery was measured like one measured skills: Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Mastery Level and Full Mastery Level. Earth and Water were the only
“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
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
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
