Played Twice By a Monkey
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It had been exactly two days since Mane and Lily agreed to stay for a while, and it was time for them to leave. In the Dark Valley, a place where the light of the sun never shone, the concept of time could be tricky and it was almost impossible to discern how many hours or days a person spent exploring it. But Mane and Lily embarked upon this journey, one fraught with mystery, with a pocket watch, so that wasn’t a problem. Mane and Lily had done as they had said and now that two days had passed, they couldn’t afford to waste any more time. They had to get the Revival Grass to Lam. But before that, there was a situation that needed diffusing.
“Why do you have to fight?” Lily had a worried expression on her face as she addressed Mane. Mane was right next to her, but his focus was on the blades he was retrieving from his backpack.
“Apparently I need to prove that I am strong enough to protect Silver in the outside world,” Mane smiled bi

Without waiting for the monkeys to make the first move, Mane seized the initiative. Feeling up the stones in his hands, he quickly counted them. They were four. A lucky coincidence or planned genius, it worked out just fine for Mane who quickly spread the stones and lodged a stone in between his knuckles. Then he flung all four at once, each to a different location.*Pew**Pew**Pew**Pew*The stones flew through the air like mini rockets, each coated with Mane’s superior and pure energy. Before the monkeys could react the stones had already reached their targets, and four of them were struck squarely on their heads.*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*Four Crystal Monkeys were sent crushing into the ground, all of them unconscious. Till the very last scene of their consciousness, they didn’t see what exactly it was that knocked them out.*Roar*It was at this point that Number 1 recovered his wi

*Bang* The first beast Mane crashed into was Number 1. The giant ape was almost as large as Silver, and he wasn’t about to be done in so easily. Mane’s fists only found Number 1’s arm guards. And though Mane’s fists were several times smaller than Number 1’s fingers, his punch was ferocious. Number 1 was sent skidding back several meters, and his arms shook violently due to the powerful after effects of Mane’s devastating strike. Number 3’s eyes flashed with an ominous light, and he struck at the currently defenseless Mane. His large fists that were greater than Mane’s torso approached the Supreme rapidly, and as his fist tore through the air the sound of small explosions could be heard. Streams of inner energy bound themselves to his large hand as it was sent smashing into Mane! Number 4 wasn’t idle either. When Number 3 moved, Number 4 also moved. He was a tad bit slower since he was a stage weaker than Number 3, but his reactions were precious. Unlike Numb

“Can you not be so smug about it?” Hildegarde smiled wryly and said. She had been on Mane’s shoulder the entire fight and hadn’t moved an inch away from her favorite spot. Not even when Absolute Darkness showed a different side of itself did she move. She was there the entire time.“Why should I not be?” Mane replied. Since he had been thrust into this situation by Silver’s mother, there was no way he wouldn’t taunt her about her first failure when it presented itself so grandly.“What if she gets mad?” Hildegarde asked.“She’s a 5th stage Heaven Realmer Hildegarde. I can still handle her. As long as she isn’t at the 8th stage it should be fine.” Mane waved Hildegarde’s worries away and said. He could handle a wielder of average battle talent at the 7th stage of the Heaven Realm at best. The Emerald Crystal Monkey was at the 5th S

Mane’s hair turned red, and so did his eyes. A pitch black aura engulfed him, but unlike before it didn’t carry the dread of darkness; it expressed a different kind of dread. It carried the dread of war and battle, and it smelt of unbridled power. As if that wasn’t enough, blue flames engulfed Mane’s entire body, intermingling with the black aura. The temperature of the flames was so high that the walls of the cave began to crack and burn!*Vroom*Mane’s aura climbed up steadily. His strength crept up the hill of power with indomitable will and desire, and as his aura grew stronger, the cave began to shake. When he told Hildegarde he could possibly fight against a 7th Stage Heaven Realmer, he had done so in consideration of all his skills. Without Takeover or True Flames, he was incapable of handling even 6th stage Heaven Wielders. With them, everything was very different.Silver’s mother furrowed her bro
Hunters: The Prequel Lightning Mane
Accompanying the roar of the Monkey Queen was a huge change in her aura. The intimidation her aura carried grew much greater, and the earth armor she wore became shinier. The cannons on her shoulder were engulfed by a golden yellow light, and when the light receded they had grown bigger and a tad longer.The earth drones also underwent a change. Two more wings grew on each drone, and they became at least three times faster than before. A golden light appeared in her palms, and a long beautiful golden rod was formed. The weapon looked dense and highly destructive. It had a different feel to it – the rod. It didn’t feel like something that had been fashioned right this minute, but a weapon that could be summoned at any time. After all, both Mane and the Monkey Queen had the same level of proficiency with earth, and Mane knew that to do something like this was highly improbable. To create a weapon that could give off such an aura comparable to a high grade weapon was

As if a trigger had been pulled or a wheel cap turned, countless light fragments flew to Mane and drowned his entire figure in light. Several small explosions rang out as Mane was baptized in the light of the tree that never went out. Along with his baptism came the dimming of the light in the cave as the Light Tree slowly gave up its essence, much to the alarm and dismay of the Emerald Crystal Monkey Queen.*Roar!*Unleashing a loud roar filled with fear and anxiety, she rushed towards Mane, the two drones that surrounded her moving even faster than she was. She disregarded her huge size and darted towards the Supreme, not worrying about the fact that her actions were causing the cave to become more unstable or that she was bumping into the ceiling so many times. Her goal was to get to the one who wanted to rob them off their means of growth.“Prideful Sword: Dance of the Half-Moon”A calm voice contrary to the anxious state of the Monkey Que
Hunters: The Prequel Return of the Death God
There were three people on their way out of Dark Valley. Of the three, only two rode mounts. The other followed on foot. Yet it effortlessly kept up with them. The three were a dashing teenage boy, a beautiful teenage girl, and a giant Crystal Monkey. In front of the group of three was a floating flower that lit up their way and gave them an idea of where to go.“We are almost out,” Mane exhaled a small breath of air as he spoke.“Yes,” Lily smiled gracefully and nodded her head.*Roar*Silver who was walking right behind them roared in excitement. He had been trying to leave Dark Valley for a very long time. However, he had no idea where the entrance of the valley was since he was born here. So he had never been able to leave. Now he could so it was natural that he was so excited.As they neared the entrance of the Dark Valley Mane was filled with a bit of relief – relief born from knowing that they had accomplished t

Camila struggled to shake her mind awake. She was a veteran warrior of the Barbarian race and a lover of battles. She had been through many difficult situations, and had come out of all of them a survivor. This situation was no different. Her experience proved a vital resource as she quickly made the wisest decision.“Attack now! Forget capturing him. Kill him!” Camila ordered, and the eyes of the Barbarians somehow became even redder. They were already harboring hatred for this human boy who had not only kept them waiting, but had indirectly caused the death of several members of their race. Twelve of them rushed towards Mane with a recklessness that was born from their pent up frustrations. All of a sudden the boy who had felled their colleague with nothing but a two word command was not so threatening. Mane looked expressionlessly at the group of barbarians jumping at him; all manner of weapons held in their hands. Of the 12, only two were Nightma

“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

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
