"Where is everyone?"

Mane's brows were furrowed in confusion as he walked through the village. He had arrived only a few minutes ago to discover that there was nothing to see. When he was a few kilometres away from the place, he sensed that there was no life there. He decided to discredit his superior senses and come here himself, only to realise that he wasn't wrong. There was indeed no one here. Not even a single soul was present.

"Young Master, should I check the vicinity?" Tucker was only a few steps behind Mane. He was draped in an all black robe with a slender sword strapped to his waist.

The man had no idea that Mane could feel everything around him down to the minutest detail. While wielders had a certain grasp over their surroundings, allowing them to feel the auras around them to a certain degree, Scholars were a different breed. A Scholar King could feel life of even the leaves that withered upon the ground. He could sense the burning of every grain of sand and the life of

    Tucker took several deep breaths to stabilise his messy breathing. His inner energy was in great disarray, and his strength was fading. His eyes were fixed upon the woman who stood before him, although he tried his best not to stare directly into her eyes.The woman in question had a deeply bewitching appearance. Her eyes were as red as crimson, yet they carried a great allure that Tucker didn't understand. Although Tucker was a man, he was not lustful neither was he poor at controlling himself. Yet before this woman he couldn't muster the courage to attack.The first thing he had done when he saw these strangers within the deserted village was to stroke, assuming that they were the cause of the mystery surrounding theissing villagers. He asked them to follow him to see his Lord, so that they Mane could question them personally. They insisted that they too had only arrived and didn't know what was going on. Obviously Tucker didn't believe them, and had stated that he would bring them

    Tucker's gaze turned frosty when he heard Dracula's proposition. He felt insulted. And he felt that his master was also being insulted. How could they say there was one more worthy for him to follow. His power was given by his master. To abandon the God Killer now will be a great display of ingratitude."You insult my Lord," Tucker stated plainly, making his stance known. His voice was cold and frosty. His intentions were clear. No one is more worthy than my master!"I see," Dracula smiled. He didn't seem to care much about Tucker's refusal. Alucard looked just as nonplussed as his father. But Lilith wasn't so pleased about the human's refusal. She kissed her teeth and stated with much scorn,"What can your master possibly give you that ours cannot.?""What can my master give me?" Tucker frowned as his energy began to rise. He took steady steps towards Lilith, looking into her eyes for the first time since their confrontation earlier. This time he was able to tolerate her charm, and he

    After the powerful clash, there was silence for a brief period until a raucous laughter shook the ears of Lilith and her master Lord Dracula. They recognised the owner of the voice instantly. And immediately, both of them had sore expressions on their faces.“Hahaha!”Alucard shot out of the dust cloud that had formed from his clash with Tucker. His expression was full and his cheeks ruddy. His pale skin finally had some blood beneath it. His lips were stained red with his own blood, and his arm lay limply at his side. It was twisted to a weird angle, yet crazed look was still in his eyes. It almost seemed like he felt no pain. And from the way he was acting it was indeed that way“Splendid! You truly are a worthy adversary!” Alucard chortled.With a violent twist Alucard pulled his arm back into place and wiped the blood off his lips. The sound of bones creaking were heard as Alucard displayed his insane healing abilities, reconnecting his bones and healing his internal injuries

    Mane's eyes twinkled when he heard Dracula's question. His vigilance towards the people before him reduced involuntarily; for the young Supreme senses that the vampires looked at him with much warmer gazes when they asked of his origins. And Mane knew that at the very least they weren't foes."I am indeed him," Mane nodded his head.Immediately Mane spoke Dracula, Alucard and Lilith fell to their knees with their heads bowed as their voices thundered into the atmosphere above, "We pay our respects to the Supreme!" Tucker had a blank expression on his face upon witnessing this. He had no idea what a Supreme was, but once he heard the title by which his Lord was addressed, he sensed a great majesty that wasn't present before. Suddenly Mane's frame seemed to grow larger before Tucker's eyes, and his master's countenance grew much nobler. Whatever that title meant, Tucker didn't know. But what he knew was that it was no regular title."How do you know who I am?" Mane asked with a cold e

    "Why did Odin send you here?" Mane asked at they walked. The young Supreme was gently rubbing Roxanne's wings with Hildegarde sprawled carelessly on his head. Odin was not one to do something for no reason. Although his soul imprint had been triggered to protect Mane in the young Supreme's fight against the Origin King, that wasn't enough for Odin to send help over. After all, people like the Origin King weren't abundant in this world. That left amane wondering what was going on. While Odin explained the circumstances of the Vampires in his scroll, he didn't say anything about his thought process in sending the vampires over."The Universe is in turmoil. The 1st Heaven is embroiled in war, and the 2nd is not different. Zeus is missing, Odin is 'missing' and chaos fills the void they have left behind."Alucard was the one who answers the young Supreme's question. Although he spoke plainly, Mane felt a great chill consume his heart. How could two Universes be at war?Mane wasn't the onl

    What is power? And is it craved for so desperately by most? Power is the right to keep what is yours as yours and take what you want from others. Power allows a man to lord over other men and a woman to stand above everyone else. That was power. In a world like the Three Great Races, if one doesn’t have power, life would be a mediocre one at best. And that was why everyone sought to be a fighter. Everyone wanted to have some level of power to guarantee that they and their loved ones remained in control of their fate. Such was the truth of the matter. Such was the truth of life. Even the strong dared not slumber; for they knew how it was that they had grown strong and were aware of what would happen to them if they were to lose that strength.It was pitch dark. The sun had long disappeared from the skies, and all that remained were the clouds. This night was a lonely one. For the stars, which usually accompanied the dark skies had turned their backs on their compatriots this time, and

    Just as Dracula said, Mane was attempting to break into the second stage of the Nobility Realm. The young Supreme had been patient, building up his energy and saving it for this moment. To make sure that there was a completely zero chance of him failing, Mane had gathered up his energy to the absolute limit. There had been several chances for Mane to break into the second stage of the Nobility Realm, but Mane had abstained. No matter how great the temptation was, the young Supreme held back.When he woke up, he realized to his amazement that the Supreme Technique was still greedily absorbing Edict from the atmosphere. And like a synergist, Devour made sure that the energy absorbed was as pure as it could be. So when Mane woke up, he realized that he could breakthrough if he wanted. But the young Supreme was unsatisfied. Although the energy devoured was great and of high purity, it wasn’t enough. If Mane had chosen to break through at that moment, he felt that his foundation wouldn’t b

    Several thousands of kilometres away, a man and a woman were walking slowly across a flatland. The weather in these lands was inconsistent yet consistent. In the day it was as warm as a lava bed; but at night it was as cold as the frozen lakes of the winter. Yet neither the man nor the woman seemed perturbed by this. They wore very loose clothes, not bothering to add any extra laters of clothing, yet they didn't seem affected by the chilly winds. These two were related to the Supreme. They were Komfo Anokye and Keira. The two walked in silence for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly both lifted up their heads in surprise and turned to look at the East. The darkness of the night was fading, yet none of them assumed that the sun was rising again. Surely it did rise from the East for neither of them could feel the natural energy of the sun. Rather that energy signature belonged to one of their own. And they recognised it instantly. Under their astonished gazes several en

    “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

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.
