CHAPTER SEVEN"Bran Davis has been brought to the hospital after he accidentally fell from the rooftop of his house. It was said that he is drunk and depressed after knowing that his name was involved in the latest murder in the City.""Bran Davis has sustained a grave injury after he fell from the rooftop of his house, the reasons are yet to be investigated.""Top personality of Randolf Nuñez murder case has been brought to the hospital after falling from the rooftop of his house.""Iba talaga kapag mayaman, nahulog ka lang sa rooftop ng bahay mo dahil sa kalasingan, headlines kana ng ilang news media outlets." Patawang sabi ni James sabay lapag ng kanyang cellphone sa study table ng room namin.Mahilig kasing manood ng balita kanyang Cellphone yan, kaya everytime na gigising yan ang page agad ng mga news media outlets ang iba-browse niya sa kanyang Cellphone."Baka kinarma lang yang Bran na yan. Halata namang sya talaga ang nagpapatay dun kay Nuñez, eh." Sabi naman ni Melchor na kak
CHAPTER EIGHTThe Class A assassin, huh. So may mga class pala ang mga ito. Is this their rank or what?Anyways, I don't care.Hmm let's see nalang kung ano ang ability ng assassin na ito, yun kung mahahanap nga nila ako.But infairness to the Dark Web, magaling silang mag investigate. Nalaman agad nilang mula sa Lexington Academy ang Phantom Hero. Well, nagmula rin kasi sa Lexington's Platform ang top trending video na nag-expose sa mga Davis. Yun siguro yung basis nila."Guys! It's confirmed. The Phantom Hero is responsible for everything. He entered the Carmen Subdivision minutes before before Bran fell from his rooftop. He was even spotted in one of Bran's residence' CCTV camera."Maya-maya'y may narinig akong boses na puno ng excitement. Nang tingnan ko ito nakita ko ang tatlong estudyante na naka upo sa isa sa mga bench na narito sa student's park. Halatang galing din sa pagjo-jog ang mga ito dahil sa suot nila."What?! How did you found out?" Tanong nung isa sa tatlong naroon.
CHAPTER NINEJudging by their looks, these two are not here for a good reason.And I just heard that the guy who looks like a ninja is a Class A Assassin, thus, I could assume that they're from a certain organization operating in the dark web."We're coming HERO." Sabi nung mukhang ninja sabay dahan-dahang lumapit sa kinaroroonan ko. He emphasized the word 'hero' in a rediculing tone.He's taking me as a joke, huh.Lumingon ako sa paligid. Walang tao. Guess I've made a considerable distance from the crowd, that's why these two casually showed up.So it's safe to fight with all my strength here. Anyways, these two right here already knew my identity. How did they do that isn't an issue right now. Maybe I can ask them later."Phantom Knives!" Sigaw nung assassin sabay bato ng dalawang kutsilyong hawak nya sa akin.I don't know how he did it, pero lumipad nang straight na parang mga arrows ang dalawang kutsilyo patungo sa akin. He's style in throwing those knives are different from the c
CHAPTER TENIt was already two days mula nung mahuli ng mga pulis ang isa sa mga most wanted killers na si Henry Damper at ang Branch leader ng isang well known mafia na Golden Circle.I thought na useless yung taong yun, but it turns out na malaking figure din pala sa underground society.Heath warned me to lie low dahil alam nyang isang hidden organization ang Golden Circle na nag-o-operate in the Dark Web. I didn't know where did he got those information, but he's resourceful and well connected, kaya sinunod ko yung advice nya.He even made an arrangement na mailipat agad sa maximum security prison ang dalawang nahuli ko at sinigurado nyang walang makakapag-usap dito from outside.As for my issue with Sunny which made quite a commotion in the Academy, hanggang ngayon pinag-uusapan parin ng karamihan. Some students shared their respective theories about me hiding my real strength to keep a low profile. Some even linked me to the Phantom Hero. At dito ako kinabahan, dahil may iilang
CHAPTER ELEVENNagulat ang lahat dahil sa ginawa ni Jude Jones, ang kilala at kinatatakutang Gangster Boss ng Santa Mesa."Boss what are you doing?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Jiggy nang makita ang ginawa ng Boss."You piece of shit! Do you want me to suffer the same fate with the Lopezes?! Now, quit complaining and kneel beside me!" Matigas sabi nito kay Jiggy. Lahat ng mga tauhan ni Jude Jones ay lumuhod din sa aking harapan. Lahat nanginginig at pinagpapawisan, lalong lalo na si Jiggy."What are you all doing? Kneeling in front of a trash? Are you really Jude Jones the notorious Gangster Boss?" Parang natatawang sabi ni Sherly nang makita ang ginawa nina Jude Jones at ng kanyang tauhan sa harapan ko. Hindi pa kasi natakpan ng tape ang bibig nito."Boss Jude, you misunderstood his identity. He's not a bigshot. He's just a poor student in Lexington Academy. Everyone knew him as a loser and consider him a country bumpkin." Suporta naman ni Gin sa sinabi ni Sherly."You.." Nagtatagis ang
CHAPTER TWELVEPagkatapos kong iwan si Sherly sa hotel room ay bumalik agad ako sa bar. Kaya pagdating ko, tuloy-tuloy ang party namin hanggang sa nalasing na ang lahat. Pagpatak ng alas dos ng madaling araw, nakapag desisyon na kaming magsiuwian na. May iilan na kasing natutulog na sa table at may umiiyak na at nag-confess ng kani-kanilang feeling. Sa madaling salita lasing na lasing na talaga ang lahat, maliban lamang sa akin. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit hindi ako nalasing gayong madami naman sana yung nainom ko. Tipsy naman ako ng kaunti, pero hindi pa ako lasing.Dahil naisip ko na baka wala nang masakyang taxi ang mga kasama ko, kinapalan ko ang aking mukha at pumunta ako sa opisina ni Jude at nakiusap na ihatid ang aking mga kaklase at roommates na lasing na lasing na. Feel ko papayag yun kasi para yung alipin kanina sa harapan ko, eh.As expected, pumayag agad si Jude at inutusan ang kanyang mga tauhan na ihatid kaming lahat sa aming Dormitories. A
CHAPTER THIRTEEN"Lightning Rod!" Sabay-sabay na sigaw ng lahat at ibinato nila sa akin ang hawat na electric batons.With a swift move, tumalon ako patungo sa ibabaw ng pader kung saan ako nakatayo kanina. Tapos ay mabilis akong tumakbo palayo upang matakasan sila.Mabilis naman nila akong sinundan mula sa baba."First Elite! I saw a girl in one of the windows of the Dormitory and she saw us. What should we do?" Sabi ng isa sa mga lalaking sumunod sa akin."Leave her to the snipers! Let's chase the target!" Tugon naman nung isang lalaki na tinawag ng kasama nya na First Elite, parang sya yata ang leader nila."Snipers! Your target is at three o'clock!" Sabi pa ng first elite habang nakahawak sa may tainga nito sabay kumpas sa isang direksyon.Nang sundan ko ito nang tingin ay nakita ko ang gulat na gulat na mukha ni Kelly. Maybe gulat na gulat sya dahil nakikita nya ang ginagawa ko at ng mga lalaking humahabol sa akin.
CHAPTER FOURTEENNapahugot ako ng malalim na hininga. Black Knights from the Order of the Dark Circle? Bakit ang weird ng mga taong kumakalaban sa akin lately? Una Elites of Golden Circle, ngayon ito na naman. What's wrong with these circles? Ibig bang sabihin nito kapag natatalo ko itong Black Knights, may darating o maghahanap na naman sa akin na Brown Circle? Green Circle, etc?Maybe the Smiths is right. I shouldn't have crossed the lines drawn by these weird group from the dark web. Pero kung hindi ko naman ginagawa yun, patuloy namang maghahasik ng lagim si Bran Davis sa buong lungsod ng Santa Mesa.Ahh. I should deal with these Circles for now. Nandito na sila, eh.I still don't know how they found out that I am the Phantom Hero, it's still a mystery to me until now. Maybe they have eyes and ears around, and with that fact alone, it showed that they are really powerful. Thus, they should be taken seriously dahil parang seryoso rin silang patumbahin ako."Be prepared Phantom Hero
Hello My dear readers! I am writing this announcement part to inform you all that I will be making a major edit on the story line and plot of this story. I know that you have all read this far and had spend time and effort in doing so, so I want to apologize for what I would do. The reason why I am doing this edit has something to do with its face pace that I haven't focused on some important events that would make it more interesting. There were plotholes that I struggled to repair which explains the very long hiatus of this work. Rest assured that after this edit, there will be a daily update. What's in the New "Supreme Nature" Story? 1. The Mystery of what is the Supreme Nature Still Remains. 2. The Character's names, identities and skills still remained the same, but I will be adding some back stories for you to understand them. 3. It is still a cultivation themed story, but I made the MC, Gale, a little different. Yes, he can still cultivate his powers but in some ot
*CHAPTER FORTY FOUR*"Very well, I will tell everything I know about Grant." The Master said as his gaze shifted to a distant memory, his voice filled with a hint of nostalgia as he delved into the untold story of Grant Rushton, his long-lost companion. Seated upon his majestic throne, he seemed to transcend the present, lost in the depths of his recollections."Grant, my dear friend, hailed from distant lands unknown to us. Yet, even in our closest bond, he revealed little about his origins, shrouding himself in mystery," the Master began, his words weaving a tale of intrigue and wonder.As he continued, his eyes fixed upon the grand ceiling of the hall, as if transported to another realm, the Master's voice resonated with the weight of his memories."Curiosity was Grant's defining trait. It was evident that his previous surroundings lacked the wonders and marvels he encountered here, or perhaps he was forbidden from venturing beyond his confines. The truth eluded us all.""It was on
*CHAPTER FORTY THREE*In the far reaches of Santa Mesa City, nestled in the North, a colossal mountain stood tall and proud, casting an imposing shadow over the land. Much like the legendary Mount Serat and the Bronze Mountain Range in the east, this majestic peak boasted rugged summits that seemed to yearn for the heavens. Adorned in a vibrant tapestry of lush greens and earthy browns, it demanded the attention and reverence of all who beheld its awe-inspiring splendor.As the sun reached its zenith, its scorching rays bathed the mountain's craggy facade, illuminating every intricate detail etched into its weathered slopes. The dance of light and shadow across the rocky terrain created a captivating spectacle of contrasting hues, captivating the eyes of any beholder.At the mountain's base, a sprawling forest thrived, its emerald canopy serving as a sanctuary for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Nestled within this verdant embrace, was a small village lay hidden from prying eyes,
*CHAPTER FORTY TWO*"SO WHAT'S THE water armor?" Tanong ni Gale sa lalaking nakaupo parin sa lupa na kaharap nya.Matapos nakompirma na nagsasabi ito ng totoo ay hindi nya na pinakita rito ang kanyang killing intent. Kaya naman nakahinga na ito ng maluwang ngayon, subalit nandun parin sa mga mata nito ang takot."It's the instinctive manifestation of the Cultivator's Defensive Elemental powers when they are in danger. For us, it's called fire armor, earth armor for the cultivators from the Earth Faction and so on." Tugon naman ng lalaki. "But this ability will only activate when the cultivator is in a state where they can't do anything about the dangers coming into them. Just like what happened to you earlier. You were too pre-occupied that you have no enough time to dodge my attack. Thankfully your water armor activated in time." Dagdag pa nito."So it's the last defense of our body?" Tanong nya naman dito."Something like that." Tugon naman nito sabay tango."Anyways, are you workin
CHAPTER FORTY ONEBANG!BANG!BANG!Umalingawngaw sa buong Red Wood Forest ang sunod-sunod na mga putok ng baril. Habang si Gale naman ay kasing bilis ng Isang kidlat na tumakbo at humanap ng matataguan.Nang makapag-cover na sya sa isang malaking puno, agad nyang sinilip ang pinanggalingan ng mga putok ng baril. At napakunot ang kanyang noo nang makita at makilala ang dalawang lalaking nakasuot ng itim ang nakatayo sa maliit na daan palabas ng kakahuyan.Hindi sya makapaniwalang si Bran Davis at si Gin Lopez ang mga ito, inakala nyang isa ito sa mga taong galing sa Golden o Dark Circles na dati pang naghahanap sa kanya.May hawak na baril si Bran at nakatutok yun sa lugar kung saan sya nakatayo kanina. Bakit gusto syang patayin nito? Napatingin naman siya sa tuktok ng bulubundukin kung saan naka-pwesto ang dalawang lalaki kanina ay bumaril sa kanya. Naisip nyang baka mga kasama 'yon ni Bran.Kaya labis ang kanyang pagtataka kung bakit gusto sya nitong patayin? Alam na kaya nito na s
CHAPTER FORTYHindi alam ni Gale kung ano ang gagawin nang naramdaman niyang gumapang na sa buong katawan niya ang lamig na nagmula sa kanyang t'yan. Dali-dali syang nagbihis baka sakaling uminit pa ang kanyang katawan, ngunit walang silbi iyon dahil nararamdaman nya parin ang lamig.Nang lumamig na ang buo nyang katawan, naramdaman nya na ang unti-unting pagbaba ng temperatura sa paligid. Dahil sa lamig na iyon pakiramdam nya ay nasa loob sya ng isang freezer. Nagsimula syang kabahan nang maramdamang tumitigas na ang ilang parte ng kayang katawan at mas lumakas pa ang kabog ng kanyang dibdib nang maramdaman na parang nagye-yelo na ang kanyang tyan dahil sa lamig.Kahit naninigas na ang kanyang mga kamay ay pinilit nya itong iginalaw upang damhin ang kanyang t'yan, at halos mawalan na sya nang malay dahil sa takot nang maikompermang nagye-yelo na nga ito. Ang yelo na iyon ay dahan-dahang gumapang sa kanyang buong katawan. Sinubukan nya itong basagin n
CHAPTER THIRTY NINEKinaumagahan, alas nwebe na nang magising sina Gale at Kelly. Late narin kasi silang nakatulog kagabi, dahil dito, dali-daling bumangon si Kelly upang maligo dahil may exam sila sa araw na ito at ayaw nyang ma-late. Dahil 10AM ang kanilang schedule, binilisan nya ang pagpi-prepare dahil kakain pa sila mamaya. Sumabay nalang din si Gale sa kanya sa pagligo. At dahil nagmamadali si Kelly, wala na muna silang ibang ginawa sa shower kundi ang maligo. Pagkatapos nito ay mabilis din silang nagbihis at umalis ng Dormitory upang kumain sa labas.Si Gale narin ang nagbayad ng kanilang kinain dahil dala-dala nya naman palagi ang Black Card. Pagkatapos nito ay ihinatid na niya si Kelly sa building kung saan naroon ang kanilang Classroom.Dahil wala na syang ibang gagawin, naisipan niyang pumunta sa Redwood Forest. Gusto nyang alamin kung ang Red Wood Lake na tinutukoy ng mahiwagang aklat ay ang mini-lake na nasa gitna ng Redwood Forest. Kaya mabil
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTPumasok ang taxi na sinakyan ni Gale sa Campus ng Lexington Academy, hinarang sila ng mga security guard sa Main Gate ngunit pinapasok din naman agad sila nang iniwan ng Taxi Driver ang kanyang ID. Hindi kasi nadala ni Gale yung school ID nya kasi biglaan yung pag-alis nya noon.Pagkapasok nila sa Campus ay pina-diretso nya na sa Men's Dormitory ang taxi, at maya-maya lang ay huminto na sila sa Ordinary Men's Dormitory.Kinabahan pa si Gale nung siningil na sya ng Taxi Driver ng pamasahe nya kasi wala syang dalang pera. Buti nalang at medyo advance narin ang payment system ng mga taxi dahil pwede nang magbayad sa pamamagitan ng Card. Matapos ang successful payment ay bumaba na si Gale dala ang isang malaking Paper bag kung saan naroon ang limang boxes ng mga sapatos na binili nya.Unlike the other Dormitories, walang guard dito sa Ordinary Men's Dormitory, kaya nakapasok dito si Gale kahit na parang hindi na sya estudyante ng Academy.Pagpasok nya ay sa kanilang r
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN"Hello, Dad?! C-can you lend me a fifteen Million? May bibilhin sana ako. Don't worry, Dad. I'll pay it back as soon as possible." Sabi ni Steven sa kanyang ama sa kabilang linya nang sagutin nito ang tawag niya."What?!" Gulat na gulat namang tugon nito nang marinig ang sinabi nya. "Where would I get that kind of money?! At anong bibilhin mo nyan?" Mataas ang boses na tanong."It's a.. It's complicated, Dad. Can you please do it now, Dad? I'll just explain it to you later." Nauutal na tugon niya matapos marinig na galit ang kanyang ama."Did you messed up again? Saan mo gagamitin yang fifteen Million? You can't just ask me for a money and say that you'll explain later. It's a fucking fifteen Million, Steven! I don't even have that amount in my bank account now!" Galit na galit na sabi nito sa kabilang linya.Dahil sa narinig, mas lalong pinagpapawisan si Steven at tuluyan nang nanginginig ang kanyang mga kamay at tuhod. Siguro kung walang mga tao sa paligid kanin
