Kalen woke up feeling refreshed. He dreamt of food that would make any person mouth drool. He felt like an emperor watching this most stunning woman served him variety of food and drinks.He woke up and was disappointed not see himself inside of a luxurious palace and no beautiful woman, but the tent they put up with his friend.“That sucks! Why does life hate me so much? I just want something amazing,” he thought in resignation.“One day I will become something like an emperor and have the most beautiful woman that the world has ever seen.” He could not remember most of his dreams, but for some reason he remembers this one and the one he had on the first day of advanced training.Since he was small boy, he always had dreams that were unique. It is said that people dream is meaningful, as they sort out personal conflicts and emotional struggles that they experience within their daily lives. It is backed by science. Kalen always wonder what his dreams are about or come it something dif
They journeyed for hours within the mountainous region.They tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible, as they can’t account for all the dangers within the region. They didn’t want to encounter any beasts that were not exobeasts, as the exobeasts were their focus.They would rest throughout the hike and eat the meat they packed away in their bags to regain their energy.“Damn, man I didn’t think this rocky territory was so huge. We left the forest ages ago. It is almost evening and we have yet to find another terrain to hunt in.,” Aledos grumbled in frustration.Kalen laughed at the way his friend was acting, but knew he felt helpless in helping his friend. “I do hope we can find another terrain to hunt in soon,” Kalen muttered.They camped under the stars and would continue to their hike in the morning. They continued their hike, when Aledos suddenly bumped into his friend on the shoulders excitedly. Kalen almost fell to the ground from the force.Kalen was about to comp
Was it too late? Maybe it was. Aledos thought as he saw the exobeast charged towards him, displaying its enhanced speed. Aledos felt flashbacks emerged into head, as he recalled information about the rage awakening.Information is power, if you can get information about your opponent, that means you are halfway to defeating your opponent.The rage awakening is the state an exobeast can enter if it gets agitated and angered to a point of no return. Once this transformation happens, the exobeast will receive a special surge of adrenaline. This adrenaline would increase the exobeast strength, lethality, aggression, speed and other attributes.This awakening allows the exobeast to possess a special strength, in form of pressure. The area that surrounds the exobeast would produce a great pressure. This would affect the enemies psychologically, making them lose their abilities to fight. This awakening is something hard to achieve as it requires several conditions to be met before it is awak
Kalen and Aledos both suppressed the exobeast, but the gorilla was built like a tank. The injuries on it accumulated slowly as the battle waged on.The fight turned into a battle of endurance, to see who would fall first the exobeast or them. They killed all its subordinates, but the silverback continues to fight so aggressively. The silverback would do unexpected maneuvers on them, but they would pushed through. They became adapt to the silverback moves due to the increased battle experience they are gathering.Kalen never knew fighting was this exciting. He continued to exchange many blows with the exobeast, feeling like this is what he was meant to do. It felt strange, but he knew it was his calling.“I was born to fight, to dominate, and bring glory to my country,” he muttered in excitement as his inner battle spirit unleashed.His mood was like someone that would do something they were passionate about. The adrenaline in his body was overflowing with energy throughout his blood.
Kalen woke up early the next day feeling refreshed and energized, the only inconvenience he noticed was the heavy smell of blood.He wasn’t irritated about it, as it was part of their training. There was a period of training that they had to get close and sleep within the vicinity that was covered in blood. So, they could get used to the smell of it.This would allow them to adapt to the situation that proved dangerous, tedious, and intolerable to normal people. This allowed them to encounter a situation where they would see themselves in a bloody battle, then their training would kick in. Kalen coped very well, and he didn’t puke from the smell or sight. He knew that in the future he would see more blood in battles.Even though he woke up energized, he was still resentful as he preferred the dwellings in his dream than where he was at, under a smelly huge tree.“Man, life is not fair to me. I just go from the limo to the gutter,” he grumbled.As he curses his situation, he started to
Rustle!! Rustle!! The leaves swayed to the rhythm of the night as the wind blew silently in the night.As the leaves swayed, a pair of yellow eyes watched from the darkness as the moonlight reflected glow of its eyes. The owner of these eyes silently moves towards the two squires sleeping peacefully.Kalen and Aledos was fasted asleep as they were exhausted from facing the black crocodile, unaware of the danger that is sneaking close to them.The creature got close to the new tyrants of the jungle; a cold glint flashed past they eye of the black creature as its muscles contracted to prepare for a ruthless strike.It was an Amarok Night Wolf. A pure black creature that mystical creature that was brought back. The legends say that it evolved from the union of a black panther and black wolf.The Amarok Wolf is an exobeast that augmented for stealth and speed. They can fight on their four limbs like a normal animal, as well as fighting on their two hind legs like humans.This exobeast wil
The sun slowly rose from the east, as the two squires stayed alert with bloodshot eyes. They carefully watched their surrounding for any threat.After the sun fully rose, they finally could relax their tense nerves a little as they knew that the Amarok Night Wolves were nocturnal animals, The fatigue from the fight and staying up all night caught up on them, making them both fall asleep.****************Aledos woke up around the afternoon. He sighed as he saw his friend’s injured and bloody face. He reached over to wake up his friend, as he knew that staying in this forest any further was dangerous. They would need to continue out of this forest as soon as possible.It was not a pleasant experience, but Kalen still forced himself to wake up.“Aledos, you are already awake?” He asked, as he forcibly cleared his sleepy head.“Yeah bro. Let’s wash up and let’s leave this forest for good,” Aledos answered. Kalen agreed without a word of objection, as the battle still gave him goosebumps.
Swoosh!! The Amarok Night Wolf moved with its incredible speed, as it suddenly closed in rapidly.Not even thinking, Aledos quickly turned around while swiftly unsheathing his sword, as he unleashed a tyrannical backward slash with the maximum speed he could muster.The exobeast’s confident movements faltered a bit, as it certainly was caught unprepared. It widened its only uninjured eye in shock. It didn’t know that these weak humans, still have some endurance to be so alert and fight back.Despite being in shocked it still reflexively retreated, but it was little too late. The sword still connected cutting a bloody wound across its chest. Before it could recover itself, the exobeast suddenly hissed loudly again in pain as it received another blow to its belly.The exobeast had its belly exposed, as it preferred to fight while standing upright like a human. It saw that the new blow was not from Aledos, but it was Kalen. Kalen knew that his friend was not as fast as he was.Kalen saw
After a week of waiting, the award-giving day finally arrived. It was a Monday, and the whole gladiator district was riled up for this day. The spectators could finally see their best gladiators get their awards in the arena. Today, the Neo-Rome team members were going to get the award for their labor of 3 years. After years of only wearing armor and light clothing as gladiators, they were finally going to dress corporately again. Kalen froze in place with a smile on his face, as he stared at his fresh look while dressed in a suit. After so long he finally cut his beard yesterday. It felt funny to him; he already entered the vicious men’s circle of cutting your beard to avoid it looking wild. He was not even sure if Nami would recognize him again if she saw him with a beard. Despite already cutting the beards, the slight sings to indicate that he was a man with beards were still left there. He carefully admired his electric blue suit, as his smile slowly morphed into a grin. Pair
As usual, medical practitioners on white quickly rushed into the arena with a floating stretcher. They brought cleaning bots with them this time, as the blood and gore were quickly sucked and cleaned throughout the arena. Kalen’s unconscious body was carefully placed on the stretcher, as it directly floated back to the medical bay. As the medical practitioners worked, the commentator finally started his ending speech with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Sea Angels, we now finally have a winner for this gladiator tournament. After these countless difficulties, we finally arrived at our destination.” “The winner of the gladiator tournament this time is the Lone Dragon, he proved his strength today in this arena.” “I won’t waste your time much, I just want to inform you that according to the organizers; if everything goes according to plan, the award-giving ceremony will be held within the week.” “Let’s all come back for this final event, to establish our winner’s status
As the atmosphere grew tenser, gulps left throats unconsciously, and speculations rose higher, the gladiators finally moved. Kalen moved first. As soon as he gathered some strength, he used his spear as a support to lift himself off his opponent’s sword. Spurt!! He closed his eyes while gritting his teeth in pain. More blood flowed out of him, as the sword was roughly yanked out of him. His opponent also flinched in pain, as the spear stirred in his abdomen. Thud!! He dropped down to the ground, as he quickly summoned more strength to roll further away from his opponent. He already grew accustomed to pain after so many years of being a knight. He could not directly say that he liked pain, but at least he could bear a lot of pain. Despite this being the case, the pain that he was currently feeling drove deeper into his inner self. He felt like his body was no longer his own, he felt like his body was just a cage where he was receiving torture. He could not help it, as tears flow
The huge energy that was covering the arena slowly opened, as the 2 strongest gladiators entered without hesitation. World Destroyer slowly took off his helmet, as he faced his opponent with a curious smile on his face. Unlike his opponent’s solemn expression, his was complete opposite, he had a calm look on his face. “Magician, you surprised me yet again. I didn’t think you would have the guts to fight me again. Last time we fought, you did put up with great fight, but you know I am going to kill you. I promise you will regret your decision of walking into this arena.” He slowly said with a smile. Kalen didn’t reply, as his blood was already feeling hot for this fight. He had no time nor luxury to reply to foolish questions. He didn’t come here to discuss, at least he didn’t have that luxury like his opponent. He had an uphill and almost impossible target to overcome, he was ready to put his all. “Enough bullshit! You will know soon enough which one of us is the best. Now, let’s
Today was the day, that will determine who the strongest gladiator from this tournament. Today was the day that justify all the bloodshed and deaths throughout the past year, in the gladiator arena. Kalen entered the gladiator armory in a solemn mood, as he went forward to where the weapons were kept. On seeing the empty, grey-colored cold chamber, he could not help but feel a sense of emptiness. For weeks now, he had been training to get the required level to win this fight. He did not know why he was anticipating it, but he felt that he would benefit a lot if he emerged as the winner of this fight. Though his thoughts were numerous, they quickly cleared up as he advanced to the spear section of the armory. He stood before the large row of spears, before falling into a daze. Spears spread for as far as his eyes could see. From short spears to long spears, to broad, to thin spears, every type of spear was available. His hands extended forward, as he firmly grabbed the long spea
The days moved forward just like chess pieces that were being randomly shifted by a chess player. After months of preparations fights, the date for the individual tournament finals has been finally scheduled. After the end of the team tournament, the gladiators on the teams who won were already eligible to take their awards. Despite this, they don’t get them immediately, as the Sea Angels Alliance extended the award ceremony to the week after the end of the individual fight fights. ********************************************************** Bam!! Kalen’s spear stabbed forward in quick succession, as his opponent hastily raised his spear to parry the strike. His hand blurred, as the stab was quickly converted into a sideways slash. Kane narrowly blocked the strike again, but the force exerted by his vice-captain still pushed him back. As Kalen rushed forward to finish him off, Kane’s teammates finally recovered as he quickly slashed his sword forward in retaliation. Whoosh!! Dere

The large fleet of vehicles slowly coming into the compound surprised the now freed gladiators, but they suppressed their curiosity and went forward to meet the General. “Good evening, General.” They all greeted respectfully. “Haha, that’s my soldiers.” The General responded with a loud laugh that was unusual for someone of his status, as he went forward to pat them on the shoulders. “Congrats, y’all didn’t disappoint my expectations. Though it is shame we couldn’t get the 1st place position but taking the 3rd place position is already commendable. “My Captain already told you, sometimes ago that we would not shy in terms of rewards if you won the tournament of you ranks, we intend to keep our word.” “Now, taking 3rd place can be seen as you winning to us, so today, I’ll present the awards that we prepared for everyone.” The Neo-Rome Captain finally came forward and placed an exotic metal box before his General. He opened the box quick
Nami dd not have much to arrange, she just came back to get some of the essential things that she could not leave behind. As she arranged, her mind could not help but drift again to a frail-looking imagination of her mom. At this age where medical technology already advanced so enormously, her being called for indicated how serious her mom’s situation was. There was no way it was a normal illness, which only made her more anxious. “What is so serious that I had to be called for?” She questioned herself again doubtfully. It didn’t take too long before she was finally ready, as she turned around to go. She changed from her old suit into a new suit that she got recently, to present herself in a fresh outlook. Not long after, she finally arrived back at the parade grounds. She was not surprised to still see the summoned horde of knights all standing at their positions in attention. There was no way these guys would leave their positions until orde
