"I was sent by no one!" He firmly replied. He had every justification to mix anger in his tone as he was wrongly accused.Fred looked away from him, his eyes resting upon the crying figure of his daughter. It had been three months since he last saw this girl, and he could see that many things changed about her. The eyeglasses were gone, even though she has his shape and color of the eyes, her looks now greatly resembled her mother, especially with her complexion being so fair. With good quality clothes on her back, her whole body was giving off a noble aura far from the ordinariness that it used to emit to everyone.His daughter had grown into a big beauty within three months, but this beautiful girl was currently begging the medical staff that rushed over from an ambulance that had just arrived. With tears rolling down her pale and almost bloodless cheeks, she grabbed the arm of the first medical personnel she caught sight of and repeatedly shouted to save the
"Lad, are you really a non-host?"Fred's gaze went back to him, Paul stayed quiet and listened."Normal Level 9s won't be able to hurt you. All we can do is trap you in this kind of realm. If we don't, you'll probably then be able to practically walk away with anything in the real world. With all these capabilities, aren't you the best assassin to kill immoral hosts? Who made you? No, you have real records since birth. No clone has a real-life account, I'm referring to people's histories that existed and could be dug by the system.... So I'm thinking you could only be someone under another high-level host like me. So who is it again?""Didn't I already tell you that I'm not a spy sent by anybody?""So if you are from the past or the future, who, then, is the stupid Level 10 fool who used one of his hard-earned wishes to send a mere non-host back in time?"Paul wanted to tell the name so he could shut the man up, but something co
Every life has equivalent karma.So it just makes sense that every death has too.In fact, sometimes, the latter was in a sense, worse than the former, as it never fails to repay all debts and keeps no calendar when claiming its dues. 'You reap what you sow.' There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.Agatha was not and would never be included in the list of exceptions.'I was not even properly warned... No, I don't even want to imagine this possibility... Why? Why can't it just lash back directly at me?'Agatha had long known that she would receive retribution soon for taking so many lives these past two months. Christine's father, those prisoners, the city mayor, Maurice's mafia men... It seemed their souls were already haunting her down so fiercely that their accumulated resentment had reached the point of claiming the lives of her
A glittering pair of eyes swept around the place, alertly watching out for any signs of irregularity. Though unfortunately, it seemed the heavens were not on her side today as she had yet to catch sight of any of that.'Damn! Is the person here?' The one who spoke this irately in her head was hiding behind the low front porch walls of the cafe near the footbridge. Her location was well-concealed, and within the most appropriate distance to observe
Long ago, about... okay, not really long ago, but just within the century... Some intelligent normal people believing in either Astrology or the Supernaturals made a claim that the world was composed of many layers. They said that the Earth was filled with more wondrous places than those in the acclaimed ever-changing list of The World's Seven Wonders.Some of the most notable was, the city of Atlantis so advanced and modern than all of the places in the world of its most splendorous time combined, thought to have sunk deep into the ocean together with its high-specie inhabitants.Ophir, the land of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks mentioned as the wealthiest city of old in the core texts of the biggest and most widespread religion in the world.The phantom Aurora Islands said to be where mermaids were last sighted a couple of centuries ago.Sodom and Gomorrah, the two widely known cities of the ancient times said to be purged t
There was no bloody confrontation that ensued. The face-off within the unstable and static world made by the clone was so simple that it was not even qualified to be described as dramatic. The reason for it was simple. No matter how vile and immoral the father was, a soft spot was still left for his daughter so he, and his clone, didn't make her situation more complicated than intended. Anyways, like what he said to himself a while ago, the favor was already fulfilled.Whatever would be, would be.'A trigger was just all they needed. And I'm sure the night wouldn't pass without it being uttered.''What a boring mission after years of hibernation.'Before the separate dimension which resembled the inside of a perfectly captured photo collapsed, 'Fred' looked up to the luminous skies and then let out a sigh tinged with mild irritation.Not long after, he could no longer feel the connection to that place. It seemed it had already vanished, and every i
"Finally."A smile finally appeared on the older man's face, watching curiously as the boy took out a high-level barrier that could block a full-blown attack from a Level 8 host."I'm surprised you could already afford something as pricey as that. It's worth at least a million points, right? Wow, taking bombing as immoral route sure is very lucrative. It sure gives points more than fifty percent of the missions that should be available on your level."Sandro snubbed the man's praises, focusing more on his voice and reconfirming his suspicions. The reason he recognized the other as a secondary host was that the first person who contacted him had a slightly different voice than this one. They were wearing the same coat, had the same body built, the first one was masked but if the same mask was used to cover this secondary host's face, he would still look alike with the Original.'Just a secondary host, a thing trying hard to appeal useful to his creator.'
Time flew fast.Not a few people did not notice that it was already close to 9 pm. By this time, the grey flock of clouds were already gone, revealing the dark blue sky seemingly decorated with glittering dots. Despite it being moonless, the scenery above was still very breathtaking and beautiful due to the countless stars twinkling mischievously up there.Eithan was looking up to this beautiful sight from the open window next to his bed. Alright, the glass window was not really opened, only the curtains supposed to cover it had been drawn to the side by Irene per his request. The slightly prideful girl relented and did it personally due to him saying he would point out, this time for real, what she could improve to her so beloved artsy skill. This happened a few minutes ago when he woke up from his six-hour long sleep.Irene was still accompanying him, her female bodyguard whom she introduced as Aura was nearby, standing behind where her boss was sitting.
