"Misty, are you here? Let me borrow your plier!""..."He seemed to be hearing that irritating word, 'plier', again for today. And the voice was different from his savior's.When the man saw a head popping into the place, he immediately cursed out, annoyed that he didn't have a hypnosis skill which could easily dictate people to believe even the funniest jokes ever invented, nor enough time to set up a tricky illusion within the room.Lamenting that all his most recently gained points were spent on recovering his health and healing a few injuries, he could only resort to using whatever was left in his inventory.Yet he found out that a face-changer was the only thing he could use at the moment... if he didn't want to kill this bothersome female guest.......'Damn! Now I'm feeling the bad thing about being in an all-girls dorm!'When the woman, who he just recently knew was called Misty, returned, Ver just couldn't help grimacing badly due to the unnatural smile her delicate, cherry p
It was around 10 pm in the evening.Misty crossed her arms underneath her ample but not really gifted bossom. In front of her, two other girls were trying to lead a bunch of scaredy cats into an abandoned building. All of them were living in the same dorm, just from different rooms. One of them was that girl who told her about that Pretty Boy Ver.Due to the very spine chilling atmosphere enveloping the area, everyone else apart from Misty was hugging each other's arms or themselves.The girl whose hair was in a wavy ponytail shook her head while confidently walking after her two friends Yuki and Anda."Girls, better not separate. Even though it's not exactly midnight or witching hours, it is still quite scary and spooky. Ghosts might show up out of a sudden to surprise us. Who knows when one of us will just suddenly be possessed!"To her friend Anda's words and the exaggerated reactions of the four others, the sister of a police officer shook her head again in helplessness. Her eyes
A figure blended seamlessly with the darkness. The place was actually nearby where a group of students was trying to test their tolerance to fear. Yet that little group was not aware that danger greater than a ghost or any dubious being from urban legends was just lurking around the corner.'On the left...'A pair of mesmerizing eyes flashed with mockery and mirth as he looked at the direction told to him by the system. He quickened his steps and turn to that direction.When he caught sight of the target, his blood began to boil. At the end of that alley, a masked man's silhouette could be seen. Who else could it be but one of his former allies who were now taking him for a traitor?Ver did his best to arrive by that person's side as fast as he could, the baseball bat he stole from a gangster wannabe he met along the way here rose high up then swung down with force greater than any normal human could take."Ackkkk!" The man only managed to let out a sharp groan for a second before col
Seven minutes later...Misty's hope shattered when continuous sounds of gunshots suddenly tore through the silence of the place."Damn! Run!" She loudly shouted to the others who subconsciously began to scream and crouch down with their hands covering their ears.It would have been such a bad move to run and expose one's self in this kind of situation, but Misty could hear that the sounds came from deep inside the dormitory. It only meant one thing - they must get away fast from that place to not get caught up in the ongoing crossfire!"Quick!" The girl pulled up the nearest one to her and led everyone else to run outside the fence.Another gunshot reverberated. Shocked, the shortest girl of the group, who probably had trouble running as speedily as the others due to her short legs, stumbled and fell face-first on the ground. Misty didn't have the heart to leave her hence she ran back and helped the other girl up."Hic!"That short girl gasped when she raised her head sideways only to
East coast of Edogawa Prefecture.A woman dressed in a black negligee paused what she was saying on the phone, shifting her gaze to the northwest."101. Is that the same host from a few days ago? In a fight again?"Since she was the only one in the elaborately designed suite and the call had been put on hold, she dared to speak loudly to the system inhabiting her brain.It answered,The woman let out a few chuckles then resumed the conversation. Her eyes lit up after the person reporting to her from the other side spoke up and said, "Milady, it seems regular thawing machine have an effect with the iceberg. It's quite negligible but our experts clearly noticed the decrease in the volume of ice."The woman remembered the mysterious blue iceberg her men recovered from the coast nearby. It drifted to her resort's territory as if a work of fate. For a reason she badly wanted to uncover, a human being was inside it, half-naked and seemingly asleep. When she asked her system to get the man o
Misty didn't know what happened after. She just learned that Ver Drilon, the annoying Pretty Boy returned. And he somehow became her neighbor, saying he still had a conscience and knowing that his savior was now in the hunted list of that mysterious organization he was opposing, he decided to guard her, free of charge, until the threats to her life were eliminated.When she first heard of the explanation he said, Misty only took a few seconds to get the real situation."You fell for me?""What?!"The suspicious trespasser who also even got himself potato chips as he watched the TV news coughed out what he had just put inside his mouth. He stared blankly at Misty after. "Did you hit your head or something?"But the girl didn't reply as she was busy dialing the police.Ver watched her with extreme boredom. A host with full points like him wouldn't fear getting reported anywhere."Stop that, Miss. There is no way you'll get through them."Misty gritted her teeth when minuted passed yet t
It was the beginning of the wee hours in the morning.While the people of the lab scrambled to their feet to inform their lady boss about the awakening of the formerly frozen specimen, Paul propped his upper body up with his two hands from the metal bed and took long and deep breaths of air.His eyeballs then moved all over the place, scanning its interior and the people. Shortly, a very grim expression appeared on his face, he looked as though as he was barely restraining himself from doing again something he hated before as an educated person - swearing.'... A lab... I frickin' ended up inside a laboratory?'Unlike most people who found themselves in a similar situation before but just somewhere different, he didn't stupidly ask from anybody nearby where he was. His eyes were fully functional. And his years with the military trained him to never forget to study the situation and place first before doing anything, even speaking.It was simply a lab. And it seemed like the people wit
'... He must be aware of many more things about the system than I expected.' She ordered the system to lock down every exit in the place and 'it' smoothly executed it. The other people who saw the empty elevator suddenly going up became dumbfounded. Those rushing to stop the man in a loose white gown halted their steps and stared blankly at that same sight. But the lady didn't pay them any attention since even if something happened, it would be as easy as pie to erase everyone's memories or control them to shut their mouths up. Paul watched the scene with a blackening expression. A few seconds later, he turned to the woman and started taking huge strides towards her with steps as heavy as an elephant's. Craziness showed in his pale face. The woman who initially didn't raise her guards up felt a bit of dread tingling her senses. She initially thought that no matter how dangerous Paul McArthney as a non-host, there should be no way he could bring real threat to a host like her, that t
When the troops of the God’s Domain stepped onto the Imperial Capital’s soil, the common folks on both sides of the road sprinkled fragrant petals from within their hands. As for the guardsmen that were standing above the city walls, they set off festive fireworks, and the melodious sound of a trombone resonated throughout the entire horizon.The sky was ravaged with fireworks as they blossomed above in broad daylight. Even if it was still daytime, after undergoing the modification of magicians, the fireworks still blossomed with radiance that was dazzling to the eye.The monarch of the Long Xuan Empire personally brought a troop to welcome the sage, and when everyone prostrated down in worship, the monarch welcomed the sage into the Imperial Palace.The liveliness that was accompanied by the clamor was
When Taka made her move on the Suzaku Clan, due to the theory that ‘one shouldn’t do anything to harm one’s neighbors’, she had only had a little test of her skill and had not been too heartless by exploiting them too much. As for the other three big clans, however, it was an entirely different story. She saw no reason for reservation so she basically went full force on themThe reason for her doing what she’d done was to truly seize an opportunity that had presented itself! Her ferocity had exponentially increased until it was capable of making one’s hair stand up in anger.For example, on a certain young master’s bedside that was from the Azure Dragon Clan, where the 7-star sword was hung, the lavish scabbard of the sword had been entirely cleaned of its dazzling precious stones and its gilded golden ornaments was not
Ryu, on the other hand, figured that he would not be able to afford to have another mishap inside his own household, especially not before they were able to secure the invitation of the sage. Thus, he immediately sent his most trustred people to have the Snow Spiritual Fox delivered to the God’s Domain. Not long afterward, he then received information that the other party had arrived from the God’s Domain.In ten days, the sage of the God’s Domain would personally proceed towards the Long Xuan Empire, to the Suzaku Clan, in order to rouse the Phoenix. This one piece of information had everyone from the Suzaku Clan crying tears of joy. Their hundred years of misery would finally be seen through to an end.Within the next ten days, everyone put out an extreme amount of effort, and it was a rarely seen sight where the elders and the youngst
On the flip side, Taka stood at the entrance of the Qilin Auction House. Upon seeing the rear view of the attendant leaving, Taka’s hand subconsciously reached out to touch that little face of hers that had changed beyond recognition.The result of the low-level face-altering potion was pretty good. Although the effectiveness was shortened by that bit for that given period of time, it was just enough to conform to her requirement for the three hours were enough for her to have those goods delegated. If there was even more effectiveness for a given period of time, she truly would not know how she would carry that kind of face back to the Suzaku clan.The present Taka’s facial appearance was slightly better when compared to her original and she figured it was due to a huge difference in skin care regime. Not only was her skin right now was slightly fa
Since she had already set the Qilin Auction House as the target, Taka then couldn’t help but make the next step of planning. Although there were very less people who had seen the shame of the Suzaku clan, it was hard to say that she would not be recognized by the people of the Qilin clan at other locations sometime later. Therefore, Taka had decided on the spot to go to another auction house in advance and used the money that she had and bought a few bottles of face altering potion.The face-altering potion was a rather common kind of medicine and it can be divided into three grades which were the ‘low’, ‘middle’ and ‘high’. Different subdivisions of the face altering potion, of course, would all have a varying duration depending on its grade. Likewise, the duration of its ability to hold a disguise as well their price would have even more disparity. On that night,
As of now, Taka’s main problem was precisely money!The only sole thing that made Taka rejoice was that she had picked a proper ‘occupation’ for herself at that time, the godly thief, don’t you think so?! With regards to her, this kind of thing called money was like a rock on the floor, that could be seen just about everywhere. If she had not widened her horizons at that time by being a hitman, a spy and so on, it would have been very likely that she could only silently stay at that dim corner and constantly dawdle about there!“Isn’t it just 30000 pieces! You can be at ease for by the means of this young master’s skill, I will definitely make you eat till you feel like throwing up!”With regards to her workmanship, Taka was quite confident in herself. What was more wa
‘Didn’t I say that it would have inhibitions on your strength. Undoing the first layer of seal is only but the beginning. If you want to become stronger, then you have to continue to undo the later seals. In this way, not only you can continue advancing but also, those strength that was previously inhibited would subsequently gush out.’ Linux’s voice was still the same as before where it was tranquil without any ripple and a hint of chilliness was carried together.“Then, what is needed to undo the second layer of seal?” Taka asked.Linux went silent for a moment and then only said one statement, ‘Demonic Beast’Demonic beasts were vicious organisms that were scattered everywhere across the Radiance Continent and resided
“Taka. You have fairly done well!”Agnar distressingly looked at the daughter of his which was still at the bosom. If it was not for the fact that Ryu was here at this moment, it was very likely that he would have already long ago pounced Taka and ripped her apart into fragments.As Abiri had Taka protected behind his back, he looked at Agnar and said,“Second uncle, why do say such a thing? Just what had this matter got to do with Taka?”“How could it be that she is unrelated to this matter? Jesse was injured in her room and it is very clear that it is this vile spawn that has harbour this evil intention wanting to injure Jesse!”No matter how Ryu was to think about it, Agnar had always fr
Just at that moment when Taka was inwardly wiping away her tears, in a rage, Jesse, who had been ignored by Abiri had killed her way into the room.The moment when she entered into the room, she immediately saw that pile of presents on top of the table and that pair of eyes of hers which filled with anger had momentarily became red in jealousy.“You, idiot, on what basis had you made Brother Abiri treat you that well! You are simply just a trash! Idiot! Even the most inferior servant within the mansion is one hundred times stronger than you! You simply do not deserve to have Brother Abiri’s items!”Gripping her fist tightly, Jesse tenaciously glared at Taka who was sitting on top of the bed where within the eyes of hers was the unwillingness that had practically burnt away all of her rational
