The Person Behind The Bounty Part I
Last Updated:
2021-01-06 21:15:42“Shiva The Destroyer? Well, doesn’t he sound swell.” Indra ignored Mane’s mockery and went on to explain. “It is a moniker he earned after destroying many worlds. He cares about nothing and doesn’t work with logic. He is a dangerous entity. The current you is nothing but an ant before him. You will do well to remember to stay away from him.”
Mane furrowed his brows in worry. It wasn’t pleasant news that he was being targeted by a god, and a rogue god at that. There was no way he would want to cross paths with this mad entity. Someone who took pleasure in destroying planets wasn’t an enemy to make when you were only an earth realmer.
“But why does he want to kill me?” Mane wondered. If this god cared about nothing, then it should be safe to say that he wasn’t supposed to care about his status as a Supreme. So why was he being targeted?

Mane’s heart grew cold at Indra’s rebuke. The god wasn’t rebuking him per se, but Mane didn’t feel that way. Indeed, he wasn’t much different from the gods. He ignored others and had grown indifferent towards the life and death of the ‘common people’. Here he was, condemning the gods for their callous hearts when he was just as detached from his world as they were. Indra was right. To the people of this world, Hidden Cloak was a god. It was an organization that he had built. So technically, he was their god. Yet he had failed them, and he didn’t even realise that he had let them down.Over the years he had grown indifferent to the death of others. As long as they weren’t related to him in any way, he didn’t care whether they lived or they died. Even in the simulation chamber, he killed and took lives as frequently as leaves fell off a tree during the Fall. And this was done in the

“It’s like I am some sort of magnet for gods.” Mane remarked bitterly. He was a mere mortal, yet there were two gods interested in him. One of them wanted to use him as a strengthening elixir, and the other just wanted his life.“It is because of who you are, Hidden Cloak” Indra remarked. His words enlightened the Supreme. He finally understood why Seth was after him. Indra mentioned that this god wanted him dead because of the organization he represents. Mane knew the organization in question now that he had heard Indra’s subsequent words. His identity as Hidden Cloak was threatening to only those of the Dark Kingdom. This identity was useless anywhere else in the world.“I thought Dark Kingdom was a small organization. How is it that they have a god behind them?” Mane pondered aloud.“Not a god- gods” Indra dropped a bombshell on

“The Dark Sword has the power to corrode the mind of all it touches. It leaves an avatar in every world it has encroached upon. Over the years it has brainwashed many people. That was how it got most of the talented people in the universe to serves its wishes. But it hasn’t explicitly targeted the gods so they can do nothing about it.” All these years Mane had wondered how it was possible for the Dark Kingdom to brainwash all those they captured. Initially he speculated that it was a member of the Northern Empire’s royal family. But he threw that idea out of his mind after doing some investigations and finding out that every member of the royal family was accounted for. Besides, the Dark Kingdom had be

“You’re right” Indra assented. “I didn’t find these out” he continued. “She did” Indra stepped to the side.With his body out of the way, Mane was able to see the lithe figure that stood behind the strange god. It was a woman. She was dark in complexion and had long wavy hair that cascaded down her back like a beautiful waterfall and stopped slightly below her slim and slender waist. Her hair fell onto her buttocks, yet even these beautiful strands couldn’t conceal the glorious arc of her buttocks. Although she wore a long robe, it did little to conceal her wonderful shape, only serving to exaggerate how amazing her curves were. The bulge of her chest was evidence of how well-endowed she was. Her lips were red, a stark contrast to her dark skin yet it complimented them more. Her wicked curves aside, her face was a work of art itself. It was almost as if all the artisans of the world had

The condition was just a single one, yet it was difficult for many to have such intelligence. Only with such high intelligence would one be capable of becoming a scholar. This was because the wielding manual for scholars was highly complex and difficult to perceive. Even more exasperating was that the manuals were very arrogant, and wouldn’t open up to anyone whom they perceived as unworthy. These unworthy people were usually those with intelligence below the benchmark. And their path was a bit different.Energy wielders and body wielders had one goal- to become strong in the body. They just used different means to achieve their goal. Spiritualists also sought to become strong. But this strength was aimed at the mind. Spiritualist sought to strengthen their minds so they could do so much more. Scholars sought to train their senses. It sounded lame, but it wasn’t. With heightened senses, scholars were able to avoid dangerous plac

“Why are you giving this to me?” Mane was excited to hear her words. He became a wielder because he needed the strength to protect his family. But like every other being blessed with intelligence that was above average, Mane sought to study everything the world had to offer. From the very first day he had learned about scholars, Mane had set it as his goal to become one. Yet he didn’t have the material to embark upon this unique path. Now he did.“Don’t worry. I am not going to ask you to take me as your master. You can consider it a gift- a first meeting gift.” Ananse’s pleasant voice assured Mane that she didn’t want anything from him. She knew what the boy was weary of. He was smart- people didn’t give anything for free. He needed reassurance that she wouldn’t ask anything of him after giving him the manual.“Besides, if I hadn’t given it to

Mane would have been surprised to find out that she even knew about his masters. Although Mane had promised that he wouldn’t inform anyone about their meeting, his masters weren’t dumb. The storage orb would be kept in Mane’s mind scape- a realm they had established themselves in. Although most of the masters didn’t know about her, one of them did. He would be able to smell her aura from the orb. Although she could dull the senses of most, this master was in a mind scape. It was a domain outside her control and only under the authority of the owner- Mane. She couldn’t wipe her aura from the orb either, for doing so will tamper with it. So the only option was to let Mane absorb all the knowledge here. That way, he wouldn’t have to take the orb with him. After a minute, the struggling boy finally calmed down. The pain that held him prisoner was gone, and all the information had been transferred. He opened his eyes after a while.

There was no mirror in this strange space; everything was white and bright, with no other color sharing in their radiance. Mane didn’t have anything he could use to check his reflection. There was no way he’d be able to see what they saw. Besides, the changes in his eyes had disappeared; they were back to normal now.“Have you ever heard the myth of the True Eyes?” Ananse asked. After Mane’s eyes returned to their normal color, Indra was finally able to pull himself out of his dazed state. He stood on the side and allowed Ananse to have her chat with Mane.“No, I haven’t. Do you care to enlighten me” Mane politely requested. “Since I asked you about it, I would naturally be willing to tell you about it.” Ananse nodded. She waved her hand, a movement that led to the appearance of three spotlessly white chairs in the already plain space. It was an action that

“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
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

“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
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.
