Hunters: The Prequel Show Them: II
“What…is…she?” Maia wondered, her entire body soaked in sweat. Beside her, Frost and Bel were collapsed on the floor, breathless and just as sweaty. Kahn had one knee on the ground, but he didn’t not fall. He was just as exhausted as the others. One could tell that unlike Mane’s party, they had struggled just to stay conscious.“She is the Chaos Witch. I remember her. She was one of the three greatest Eternals. There was the Cold Emperor, your grandfather; the Fire Eternal, a woman whose flames could even threaten Sutur; and the Chaos Witch, an Eternal whose control over Chaos was second only to the Chaos Beasts themselves. They gave her the monicker ‘witch’ because she handled Chaos like no other. I didn’t think that she was still alive.”Reiki’s reply caused Maia to swallow saliva nervously. To think that the first Eternal she would meet after so long was one who was considered a legend; what a

“You must prove to us, your qualifications,” one of the three God King Academy professors finally spoke after a long silence.“Professor Stern, you cannot make that decision on your own. You need the Headteacher’s approval.” One of the other professors from God King Academy, Dean Desmond, the head of the Energy Building Unit, swiftly opposed his colleague’s decision.“I agree with Dean Desmond. We cannot simply break the tradition that has been set in place since the inception of the academy. The rules state that only the headteacher can pick a professor for the academy, and he must do so after consulting with the Stakes. It isn’t a decision that can be made by professors like us.”The other professor, Professor Stanley, also opposed Professor Stern’s decision. The traditions of God King were not to be easily disturbed or trampled upon. Even though he wanted the Supreme on their side, he didn’t want to have to break their traditions for him.“I understand what you are all saying, but

The days went by swiftly. Soon, they turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Before anyone knew it, it was time for the God Trials. Planet Celestial had been waiting for this moment for the longest time. Many had come from far and wide. Sure, the God Trials were a great buzz, and though many weren’t qualified to participate due to its stringent entry criteria, many loved to watch the scions of strong and noble clans duke it out in a competition that assessed wit and strength alike; however, this competition was different.This was the second time that the Go Trials were being hosted on Planet Celestial, and this year marked the second year since the God Academies had broken their several millennia long tradition of hosting personalized tests for candidates approved by Tokens of Authority. The first God Trials had been the biggest thing to ever happen to Planet Celestial since the great war that saw the Celestials claim this planet as their own. For all the great talents of Pl

“Hmm. To think he was brave enough to show his face. Fascinating what ignorance can do to you.”In the hidden slums of Planet Celestial, the very god whom the Jade Emperor was talking about, was keeping a low profile.By buying out a cheap motel in a region that was not frequently visited – even by rats – Ares was able to evade the searching eyes of Planet Celestial’s tough surveillance. As for how he had gotten into the planet in the first place with all the security that had been put in place for the trials, no one knew. Just like Mane had the power of Heimdall’s ring, allowing him to traverse the realms his eyes had seen, it was very likely that Ares, who had usurped the throne of Asgard, had his own tricks.“I think eh believes that he is safe here, Lord Ares. After all, the Celestial Emperor is a foe that even Olympus has to be wary of. Your father was not only fond of the emperor, but he also acknowledged his strength and referred to him as a worthy rival. It is natural that the

Mane’s POV Finally, it was the day of the trials. I had been waiting for weeks for it to happen. My impatience had finally paid off. Finally, it was time to reveal myself to the world. Not as a child of Zandor or Asgard or Olympus. I know I was advised to keep myself hidden until the time was right; but how can one tell when the time is right? Is there really such a thing in the first place? Uncle Jake leaving was not planned – at least I, Mane Harbinger, had not made any such plans at the time – but it had been the right thing to do; for I gained independence and a mind that could survive on its own from his absence. Going to the Dreamscape was unexpected, but that was the right time to experience what I experienced. Being betrayed by Sunflower was not expected, but it had been the right time for that given that that had been the only way to complete my mission and return to Zandor. Any later and my friends could have been in big trouble. While many things had happened just as I in

“Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for is finally here. We have heard rumours. The stars have shifted into alignment and the voices of Chaos and Edict have never been clearer. Seers have spoken in confirmation and some commonfolk have gazed upon his visage; but has that ever been enough?”“We have waited and waited because we want to see for ourselves! We want to gaze upon his image with our eyes and experience his strength with our flesh as witness! He who has been proclaimed king of this world has returned! He is here, ladies and gentlemen! The one whose name was announced for all to hear; the one who was graced by the melodious voice of the Universe Will all those years ago.”“Harbinger of Chaos!”“Universe Traveler!”“True Universe’s Ruler!”“Welcome him!”“Mane Harbinger!”The announcer’s voice was loud and powerful. The energy of an Ascender permeated the stadium, and so did his excitement. The hearts of the audience beat as one, their emotions becoming

“I would like to tell you what an honour it is to fight you,” Professor Jackson chuckled mildly.“The honour is mine instead, professor. I hope that one day I can stand as your equal.” Mane smiled behind his mask.He knew that Professor Jackson was strong, but right now, standing before him, he could tell that he had underestimated the power of the teacher. Professor Jackson held no weapon neither had he mustered up his aura. He looked like a man on a leisurely stroll. Even then, Mane could not find any openings to attack. Every single option that would have usually been available to him was not.“Use True Eyes,” 1st instructed.“I cannot. It will reveal too much” Mane shook his head.While True Eyes was capable of seeing the things that were not, it wasn’t a power he wanted to display here. The Elder Gods were here, and Mane wanted to keep the fact that he had stolen the abilities of the Origin King away from them. Letting the world know that he had the eyes that could peer beyond ti

If there was ever a time to be amazed by a person’s skill and grit, it was now.“Incredible”The eyes of the commentator watched the scene of Mane’s flickering form with surprise and fascination, with the young Supreme proving to the world that he was indeed a child of prophecy. Mane was slower than Professor Jackson. There was no denying that; however, his reaction time was faster than the professor’s! By accurately judging where the professor’s attacks would come from and overcoming the massive suppression from the professor’s aura, he was able to avoid each blow by a hair’s breadth. His judgement was impressive as well. For Mane was mostly on the defensive and struck only when it seemed to be the most opportune time to. In fact, his patience and keen observation had paid off a few times, for the young Supreme had been able to accurately land a few attacks within the past five minutes. In fact, if the young Supreme had attacked five times, four of them had drawn blood! It was incred

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

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
