Zandor, the land that had once been the inheritance of the old gods who guarded it. A land that had once been called the land of promise. A land that so many Moses’s had failed to enter, not to talk of exploring. This once fabled land that had been the dream of many gods was merely a shadow of its past self. The powerful gods who once guarded this land were all gone. The few that remained weren’t fully awakened, and those who had awakened weren’t sure of what they were now. Ultimately, Zandor had been conquered. Besieged by the forces that craved for the heritages left behind by the ancient gods and sought after by those that sought the vestiges of the glorious past, Zandor – the unprotected promised land – was easily stripped away from the mortals. Many gods had intruded this land, and many more fought for it. How had this happened. Even if its guardians were gone, the 5th guardian – the one whose hammer could forge the heavens – had awakened. He was strong enough to deter dozens of
In the Forest of Gloom, within the cottage where Frederick had been reacquainted with Zandor, the World Will of this world, and where Selina had received her healing, a man as beautiful as the stars in the sky sat next to a small bed. The cottage was modest at best, and there was no fanciful decoration befitting of one with a status as high as Zandor’s; but it was his home. The forces of nature were strong in this place, and everything that sought refuge here experienced a great boon. It didn’t matter that the Forest of Gloom formed its surroundings; this place was full of the blessings of nature.On the small bed was a young boy of about 12 or 13. This boy looked slightly emancipated, almost as though he hadn’t eaten for months, but his good looks still remained. If anything, his baby fat had been forced to leave sooner than they should have, and his face had been chiselled out so brilliantly that one could bet that a rock could have been cut by those jawlines. The young boy’s hair w
“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
