Hunters: The Prequel Broken Shackles; Carelessly Careful Hunter
The seal had placed a ban on Mane’s use of Edict. That meant that his both his Glows and Breaths were inaccessible to him; all but one.BasileusThat power was an inheritance that Mane received as a scion of Weapon Masters. It was the Glow that his Granduncle came to be known by. It was the power that depended on Edict for activation and not Edict; and the young Supreme was eager to remind the Citadel men of who had locked them up in this barrier in the first place. This world didn’t have much Chaos and Mane could only use what he had saved up from before. But that was enough; that would do.“Glow: Basileus.”“What is that feeling?” Elder Hanuman suddenly stopped moving and stretched out his stop Dragon King Bast from making a move as well. His eyes narrowed into slits as he observed Mane keenly.“What are you doing?” Dragon King Bast asked. He frowned in annoyance at the fact that someone had stopped his fun. It didn’t matter that that someone was Elder Hanuman. All he knew was that

“It is strange,” Mane spoke to the two men as he slowly walked towards them.“Oh? What is?” Dragon King Bast asked as he too walked towards the young Supreme. His eyes flashed brightly as he prepared his power. Elder Hanuman was not eager to confront Mane; however, he couldn’t let Dragon King Bast go on his own. So he too followed after the Dragon Lord, being only a few steps behind him.“When I was ten, I challenged my friends to a battle without inner energy,” Mane started but was interrupted by Dragon King Bast.“And let me guess: you won?” he asked with a mocking smile on his face.“I did; but I did so against a group of vastly talented young heroes with brilliant bloodlines who could freely use Edict, unlike myself,” Mane smiled and said. His words surprised Dragon King Bast a bit but it wasn’t that shocking.“So where are these young talents you speak of? Why aren’t they standing next to you?” Dragon King Bast wondered. There were many who were deemed to have limitless talents b

*Crackle*The fire that burned away at several buildings suddenly came alive. As though they had gained sentience they rushed towards Mane and formed a massive vortex around the young Supreme. Soon the flames merged and burned, growing into a massive dragon that breathed and lived and ate and drank fire.“This power…I recognize it now!” Elder Hanuman was finally able to place it. He was finally able to remember what it was that had bugged him about this power.“This is the power of Basileus!” he screamed. “This boy is a descendant of Basileus!”Dragon King Bast frowned when he heard Elder Hanuman’s words. His expression was as sore as a jar of vinegar and the hand that held the Dragon Blade trembled ever so slightly.“I may kill him accidentally. Don’t stop me.” Dragon King Bast’s playful demeanor was gone. With a giant leap he rushed towards Mane.“I wasn’t planning to,” Elder Hanuman replied and went after him. He did not carry a weapon, but his aura was as threatening as Dragon Ki

“You are persistent,” Dragon King Bast stated with a smile. His powerful sword was blocked by the claws of the fire dragon, preventing it from travelling any further.“Persistence is a good trait,” Elder Hanuman whose phantom rod had been blocked on the other side by the other clawed limb of the dragon, nodded his head in appreciation. Their words and demeanor caused Mane to frown in annoyance.“So this is how it feels to be looked down on,” Mane mumbled, not liking the sickening feeling that was building up in the back of his throat. He started to understand a bit of what others felt whenever he ignored their struggle. However, Mane was different from those lads. Mane could actually do something about his.“Arma impia,” the young Supreme chanted, causing armored scales that carried the power of a Spirit King to grow all over the fiery dragon and make it more tangible. Dragon King Bast and Elder Hanuman furrowed their brows seeing the change; but before they could do anything else Man

“What is that?” the citizens of the Citadel who had been evacuated looked towards the strong light that was slowly approaching them with a strange expression on their faces. That light carried a strong power that caused them to feel fear, and looking at it alone stung their eyes. It was akin to staring at the sun.“That power…is that the true power of the Citadel?” Razer who was standing in a defensive line that had been formed right in front of the normal citizens along with other guards, asked with a ghastly expression on his face. The power of that sword was akin to that of a god! It was so strong that he doubted that any of the elders of the Ancient race could handle it. This was at the same level of power as the Ancient Monarch! “Someone…please save us…save us Dragon Lord,” a few citizens feel to the knees and prayed fervently. Only if they knew that the one they were praying to was the very one who had caused this in the first place, they would have lost all hope. As it stood

In the blink of an eye Monkey God Hanuman appeared before Mane. Before Mane could register what was going on those purple eyes suddenly looked distant and a searing pain assaulted his abdomen. He had been sent flying without being able to do a thing!*Boom*“Mane!” Hildegarde screamed in shock as tried flying over to her Tested. However before those tiny wings of hers could beat her towards Mane, a powerful oppressive force constrained her and made it impossible for her to move. She had been found out!So far only a few people in this world had been able to discover her. All these people were strange existences of mysterious ability and without a doubt, none of these people needed to do much to deal with Mane. For one as brute as Elder Hanuman to see her meant that not only were his eyes much more extraordinary than she thought, he was also much stronger than anything mane could ever handle!“Little fairy,” Monkey God Hanuman stood before her with a careless expression on his face.

Within one of the numerous lower worlds under the jurisdiction of Asgard; in a world of the 1st Heaven that was not experiencing the chaos of war. This world was called Pathaan; and it was a world that had not seen blood spilled in the last century. In this peaceful world were several countries that had learned to live at peace with each other. One of these many countries was Mohsin Country. Mohsin Country was one of the three large empires in this planet. It was famous for many things, but the one thing Mohsin Country was most famous for was its weather. It was called the Empire of the Sun; for in its long history, neither snow nor thunderstorm had ever wrecked the land. This didn’t mean that this land never experienced rain. If it didn’t, growing crops would have been impossible with normal methods. It did rain in Mohsin Country; but it only rained at night. Sun by day; rain by night. That was what made this country special. It was currently day time in Mohsin Country. Travelers we

Every world in the True Universe experienced the curse of the deathly rain. The men who came into contact with it all died, and so did the beasts. It didn’t matter what their level of wielding was; it didn’t matter what their status was. Every single person that endured the rain paid the price. Some gods and Ascenders had the right to resist the power of the rain. There was one group that benefited from the rain though: those who practised the dark arts and loved darkness benefited from the rain; but even they had to either have extremely powerful bloodlines or top class wielding manuals.It wasn’t only the mortals who noticed the change. Gods and demons alike regardless of what heaven they resided in, witnessed the might of the rain, although only a few were able to recognize its origin.Among the few were Mane’s parents. Ray frowned and stretched his hand out of his robes to come into contact with the rain. He frowned as the rain burned his aura shield and tried to get into his body

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
