2024-10-29 19:42:56The Norse Gods told of a story; a story of the end of times. They told of a time when their lineage will end; their blood dispersed to the furthest ends of the Universe – the Ragnarok. For millennia they had been trapped under its curse, fated to die by the hands of beings of destruction and be reborn only moments after. It was because of this dastardly curse that they who had been born long before the times of the Origin Divine Artefacts hadn’t mastered the power to go against them. For their constant birth and rebirth left them weak and unimpressive. Yet that curse had been broken by the one called Odin, granting him the title of Allfather. They grew stronger and finally had the power worthy of beings who had been born in the early years of the formative Universe.
Ragnarok was known only to the Norse. The other Pantheons had their own trials, and they called them by other names. But they had not faced their trials yet, and they did mock the Asgardians for their faRelated chapters
Hunters: The Prequel Universe Destroyer
Eternals loved to hide. They were like moles that hid in the soil below. And it was difficult to find them without help from one of their own. Eternals had many Legends, yet only a few remained now. One of these few was the one known as the Cold Emperor; the Eternal called Winks. Winks was a man who had lived many years. He had seen several eras come and go, and he had served under many Supremes. Over the many years he had remained alive, watching his friends and family die and his life gradually lose its meaning, he had changed in a lot of ways. He had grown from a playful child, to an optimistic teen and then to an adult who had experienced the harsh realities of the world and had grown disenchanted with it. Yet there was one thing that had never changed. There was one thing that remained the same no matter what happened to Winks.His loyaltyHe may be the reigning Emperor of the Eternals, but he hadn’t forgotten his vow to the Supremes. No matter what he became, h
Hunters: The Prequel Fire Eternal
The first face that Morgana saw was James’s. His eyes were full of worry and his countenance grim. In his hands was a blood soaked towel and on the bed next to him was a small bowl of hot water which was now reddened with the blood from the towel. Next to James was Grandpa Winks. The Cold Emperor’s eyes were grim as he beheld the broken state of his granddaughter–in–law. His helpless expression quickly brightened up when he saw Morgana’s eyes flutter open.“Are you okay?” James asked hastily once he noticed that Morgana was finally awake. It took a while for Morgana’s senses to return to her, and once it did she understood where exactly the blood was coming from. For her nose and ears were bleeding profusely, as though they had been pierced through by many small needles. And James had made it his sacred duty to keep cleaning her up.Slowly the memories of what she had seen came rushing back to her, and tears fell fr
Hunters: The Prequel Dimensional Key
The Cold Emperor left the others behind and walked into the light. Surrounded by runic images and the smell of Edict, he could see and sense an awful lot. Before him the ethereal image of a man with two ravens on his shoulders took shape. The man had only one exposed eye, for the other was covered by a golden eyepatch. Yet that one eye seemed to contain the wonders of the world and its secrets. He may have seen this man only a few times in his life, but Grandpa Winks knew exactly who he was. He was the famous vagabond God King. He was the one they called Allfather.“God King Odin, we meet again,” the Cold Emperor was servant to no one, only the Supreme. Although he did display his respect to the god before him by slightly bowing his head, that was all he did. He wasn’t going to bow in subservience for Odin wasn’t his Allfather. This level of respect was all Odin was going to get, not like the God King of Asgard was complaining.“Cold Emper
Hunters: The Prequel Seeking
A man in white robe slowly moved through the misty atmosphere that covered the entirety of the place known as The Deep to Zandorians. In his hand was a spear that shook with the power of lightning, and his robe was lined with several golden writings that formed a protective barrier around him. His green eyes flashed brightly as they tore through the illusions that stood in his way. He was fully alert, for the one he sought was dangerous and crafty. And it was because he was on the alert that he felt the presence of another.“Who is it?” Indra asked with furrowed brows. The aura that approached wasn’t that of darkness, and it wasn’t hidden either. It was intentionally revealed, and that was why Indra felt that this person was no enemy. If not, he would have attacked immediately he felt the aura of this person and would have worried about the consequences of his decisions later.“It is I,” a man wearing a very clean suit appeared befor
Hunters: The Prequel Planet Celestial Opens Its Borders
Every Higher World had one great similarity. It wasn’t in the kind of goods they exported, or the fact that they all had powerful warriors. After all, every world had goods that fetched them a great sum because these goods were found nowhere else. And though it seemed improbable because of the vast number of worlds there were, each world had its own signature export. For some, their exports were even human resources – strong warriors hardened by war. As for having powerful warriors, it wasn’t a distinct feature since to become a Higher Planet, that planet had to have a trove of powerful men and women. What really made Higher Worlds similar was their connection to God Academies.Each Higher World was a place of longing for those of the Lower Realms, for it was only by getting to a Higher World that a man or woman will be in touching distance of the elite, God Academies. The stronger the Higher World was, the greater the number of connections it had to God Aca
Hunters: The Prequel How To Get What You Want 101
“Excuse me Sirs and Madams,” Maia, the one known as the Eternal Monarch by her people who had no idea that such a title originally belonged to another, approached the table of the men and women whom she was secretly listening to. The nature of the bar, with all its noisiness and chaos made it so that its disoriented and boisterous clients didn’t notice Maia’s actions. And even if they had, it was highly unlikely that they would have paid any attention to her. “Oh, young lad. How can we help you?” one of the women liked Maia’s polite attitude and offered herself to be of any assistance. Although they couldn’t see Maia’s face, they could tell from the tone of her voice that she was very young. Besides, her aura was largely youthful.The others had faces reddened from booze and wine. Yet even they liked the stranger’s politeness. This was the difference between Greater and Lesser Celestials. Greater Celest
Hunters: The Prequel God Trials
“Each academy is conducting a different series of trials. And each has a different number of spots to offer.” Nola kept on explaining the details of the trials. She was very well informed, and as she spoke Maia realised that she had indeed come to the right place. After all, she doubted that many knew what Nola knew. And her expression – genuine or otherwise – suggested that she was curious of Nola’s identity. Granted she was a Lesser Celestial, but she must be pretty influential to know so much about the trials.So basically, Maia understood a few rudimentary things from Nola’s explanation. The first had to do with the number of entries. There were two ways to get into a God Academy. One was by a recommendation from a well-known godly figure. This was less common because very few were able to get the attention of a god. The other was by passing the trials.If one wanted to be tried, they had to register at the academy. Each academy
Hunters: The Prequel Stealing From An Outer City Ruler: Part I
“Where did she go?” the Lesser Celestial who had been tracking Maia frowned in confusion and came out into the open. For a few minutes he had followed her without any major issues. However, the girl had suddenly disappeared.“Dammit!” the man screamed uncouthly as his search yielded no fruit. He tracked back to where he came from, and even went as far as investigating the alleys in the area, yet he came up short in both departments. The girl had suddenly disappeared.“Nola is going to have my head,” the Lesser Celestial shivered in fear before sighing and giving up. It was better to face the music now than to wait for Nola to catch up and play an entire album for him. He gave the place another cursory glance, looking intently into the alley that Maia had disappeared into, before finally deciding on leaving.“She is good,” he acknowledged before his figure flashed a few times and he left. By now he had realised that

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
