Logan's POV
"Hey, mister. Are you okay?" I heard a faint voice call and someone shaking my body.
I fought to open my eyes and when I did the bright sunlight made me shut them back quickly.
I winced as a killer headache made itself visible.
"Mister, are you okay?" The voice called again.
I opened my eyes, now semi adjusted to the light and saw what appeared to be a man in his forties hovering over me.
Memories of what happened came back to me and in an instant, I was up.
"Eva!" I called in fear. I looked around to find myself lying on the roadside.
I found some people crouched on the ground around something and I heard them call for a 'miss'.
I quickly ran to them and saw that they were gathered around an unconscious Eva.
"Eva!" I called again as I pushed my way through to her.
I held her in my arms and removed the hair that was sticking to her face away.
"Eva, baby please answer me," I begged but there was no response. Her body felt so cold making me fear the worst.
"Eva." I tried again but this time softer as I buried my face in the crook of her neck.
I heard the people murmur from around me but they soon left.
I picked up Eva's body and carried her as I started making my way back home.
All the way I thanked God over and over that even though she's weak and dying, she was still with me and not with the bastard.
I've noticed that we were thrown on the highway which was far away from any woods so I couldn't shift. It took us a very long until I was able to see some green. 
The way through the woods didn't take long however and soon, I was able to see the pack borders.
I started hearing faint growls and other noises like there was some fight and when I reached the pack borders, it all came clear to me.
The pack was under attack.
I quickly turned on my heels and ran the other way. I ran to the waterfall that was only a couple of feet away from the pack.
Gently, I laid Eva inside the cave that was hidden behind the rushing water.
"I'll be back soon," I whispered as I kissed her forehead softly then sprinted back to the pack grounds.
I shifted into my black wolf as soon as I crossed the borders and lunged at the first rogue wolf I saw.
I but into his shoulder, drawing blood before throwing him at a tree.
He recovered fast and growled as he lunged at me. I dodged his attack but he was able to bite my hind leg then throw me across the clearing.
The growled. He wasn't an alpha and his wolf was way smaller than mine, yet I was still not able to kill him. He was still on his feet.
This reminded me of how weak I am. I howled in anger and lunged at him and in an instant, his throat was ripped out.
I turned to another rogue who was fighting with one of my warriors and it didn't take me time to kill him.
I then moved to another and another. My anger was sending me on a killing spree.
I was weak and pathetic. I wasn't able to protect Eva and she ended up losing her pearl because of my weakness. I was able to do nothing and now, she's dying, all because of me.
I was killing mercilessly and soon my anger turned to fear. Yes, fear. Fear of losing Eva. I've been searching for her for so long and I'm not ready to lose her. We didn't even spend a full two months together.
I felt someone bump into me from the side, making me fall to the ground.
I quickly got up and growled at the wolf pushed me.
"Logan calm down." Jake's voice echoed in my head.
His voice got me back to my senses.
"It's over Logan. You killed them all." He stated.
I looked around and saw nothing but dead bodies lying all around with blood pooling around them like a lake.
"What happened to you Logan? You were going to kill one of your pack members." I heard my father say in my head.
I looked at him in confusion than at the man lying on the ground.
I was shocked to see that it was indeed Henry, one if my pack warriors. His eyes were screaming with fear and there was a huge gash on his leg.
I shifted back into my human form and looked at him apologetically.
"I'm sorry," I said before turning on my heel and running towards the waterfall, ignoring the calls from my father and Jake.
I slipped on a pair of basketball shorts that were hidden in one of the trees as I sprinted back to Eva. 
Thankfully, she was still where I left her.
I gently lifted her and started making my way back to the packhouse.
"What happened Logan?" My father demanded as soon as I entered the pack house's threshold.
"Not now, father. I need the pack doctor and Alexis right now." I said as I sat on the couch in the living room with Eva still in my arms.
"We're here," Alexis said. She gasped as soon as she saw Eva.
"What happened to her?" She asked and attempted to touch her but my growl made her withdraw her hand back.
"I'll just check up on her." She stated then once again reached to touch her. This time, however, I let her.
Alexis touched Eva's forehead then gasped loudly.
"She....she lost her pearl?" Alexis asked in surprise.
A series of gasps erupted in the room and I heard my mother whimper.
I didn't answer though. I didn't want to believe it.
"W-what happened?" Chloe asked with glazed-over eyes.
"I happened!" I yelled, angry at myself. "I wasn't able to protect her." I continued with a lower tone, almost over a whisper by a notch.
"Is it with Maxwell?" King Luther asked as he crouched down to Eva's level.
I nodded my head.
"And what are you going to do about it?" He asked with a suggestive look.
"I'll find him and kill him," I replied.
"We're coming too." The twins said in unison. I could sense the anger in their voices.
"We only have a month Logan," Alexis stated and I nodded.
"Why isn't she waking up?" My mother asked.
"She's probably weak," I replied, my voice cracking in pain as I looked down at her. I gently ran my hand over her hair.
"No. I don't think that's why." Alexis said and shook her head.
I looked up at her in confusion.
"Dr. Mitchelle, can you please take a sample of Eva's blood?" Alexis asked.
Dr. Mitchelle looked at me for permission and I nodded.
He took out a syringe from his bag and then held Eva's arm out.
He wiped the inside of her elbow with an alcohol pad before inserting the needle and drawing some of her out.
"I'll go run some tests." He stated as he collected his stuff and went.
I looked back down at Eva then leaned into peck her lips. They were cold and chapped, making my heartbreak even more.
"I promise you, Eva, I'll find Maxwell and bring you your pearl back. I won't let you die, Eva, never." I promised as I continued running my hand overhead repeatedly.

The Rose Mercenary Squad members had already hidden themselves in the forest. The enormous trees and dense forestry created the ideal cover for them as they awaited the perfect moment to strike.
The first one to spring into action was Dennis. His massive figure emerged from behind a tree, and his huge mace whistled through the air, barely missing the Purple Golden Mink before it slammed into a tree.
The massive tree was felled amid a resounding boom, drawing a cry of shock and panic from the Purple Golden Mink as it reflexively sprang away from Dennis.
However, right at that moment, a green figure emerged from behind a tree in that direction, bringing a massive black shield down toward the Purple Golden Mink viciously.
An extremely humanized expression of shock and horror appeared on the mink's face. However, as a 2nd-tier magic beast whose forte lay in speed and agility, it wouldn't be caught so easily. It spread open its four limbs as if it were opening up a paragliding suit, and faint golden light shimmered from its limbs, allowing it to forcibly change its direction in mid-air and glide past the shield. It then sprang up forcefully from a tree, leaving deep indentations in the tree trunk with its powerful limbs before leaping toward another tree at an even faster speed.
"You're not getting away!"
Scott emerged from behind a tree, standing right in its path. He gripped his longsword tightly in his hands before bringing it down with devastating power.
The Purple Golden Mink was unable to evade, and could only extend its claws, which were enshrouded in golden light, to meet the longsword.
"Ding!"
A crisp ringing sound erupted. The longsword struck the claws, and sparks flew through the air. The Purple Golden Mink tumbled to the ground, and quickly began to flee once again. It was trying to avoid escaping through the passageway between the two hills as it could sense a dangerous aura situated in that direction.
Right at that moment, a black boomerang hurtled forth from behind it, evading all of the trees as if it had a mind of its own before flying directly toward the mink.
The Purple Golden Mink wanted to go left, but it could only forcibly change directions again, weaving through the trees to run toward the passageway between the two hills while avoiding the boomerang.
As soon as it reached the end of that passageway, the forest would become even denser on the other side, thereby allowing it to easily slip away.
On a large tree beside the passageway, Sam was holding a green vine while staring with rapt attention at the oncoming Purple Golden Mink.
In another direction, Evan sat on a tree branch with a relaxed expression. His legs were folded in a rather awkward way as he pointed his white wand toward the Purple Golden Mink. 
To think that a group of 3rd-tier mercenaries could cooperate so effectively; this mercenary squad is quite a proficient one, Mag praised internally. With the past experience of Mag Alex guiding him, he was able to easily gauge everyone's power levels during those brief exchanges. The Rose Mercenary Squad members were predominantly at the 3rd-tier in power, with Sivir and Dennis close to the 4th-tier. Skol and Scott were both at the 3rd-tier, while Sydney and Sam were most likely 2nd-tier beings.
With sufficient chemistry, the power a group was capable of unleashing would be far greater than the sum of its individual members. This notion was being exemplified by the Rose Mercenary Squad.
In this dense forest, they were able to force the Purple Golden Mink toward the ideal direction through their seamless teamwork. It appeared that they had the mink in the bag.
"Meow!" Ugly Duckling sat up excitedly and extended its little paws, revealing the sharp claws within.
The Purple Golden Mink was in a complete panic and rushed blindly into the traps set up by Sam. During this brief period of time, Sam had already set up three traps, all of which targeted agile prey like the Purple Golden Mink. As long as it entered the designated area, he was confident in his ability to capture the mink.
Eva also rose to her feet and looked on with a nervous expression.
The boomerang carved a beautiful trajectory through the air before returning to Sivir's hand. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the Purple Golden Mink charging toward the traps. However, she still headed in that direction with her hand resting on her boomerang, ready to hurl it again at any moment.
Monkey was also pursuing the Purple Golden Mink. Before the prey had actually been captured, complacency was absolutely taboo.
However, right as the Purple Golden Mink was about to rush into the traps, an intelligent light flashed through its eyes as it spread open its limbs again, allowing it to change directions in mid-air.
A wooden cage fell from the sky, but landed about half a meter away from it. Two rows of arrows also crisscrossed through the air, but were successfully evaded. As for the final trap, Sam hadn't even activated it yet.
"Stop right there, filthy beast!" Evan had thought that the hunt was over, so his expression changed slightly upon seeing that. However, he still reacted very quickly as he waved his wand toward the Purple Golden Mink, abruptly conjuring up four walls of ice that confined the mink within.
"Master Evan is so impressive!" Eva was squealing like a mindless fangirl.
"Crack."
The Purple Golden Mink swept its claws through the air. Three streaks of purple and golden light flashed, destroying the wall of ice directly in front of it.
"H-how could this be?" Eva looked on in disbelief.
"Die, bastard! Consecutive ice spears!" Evan's also raised an eyebrow upon seeing that. He was quite embarrassed by the fact that he couldn't even trap a Purple Golden Mink. He chanted a spell and waved his wand, upon which five ice spears about a meter in length hurtled through the air toward the Purple Golden Mink at an extremely fast speed.
"Howl!"
Having just crushed the all of ice, the Purple Golden Mink let loose a sharp cry, and its half-a-meter-long body instantly doubled in size. The purple fur that was only found on its head also extended all the way to its tail. Purple golden light created a powerful barrier around itself and it rose up on its hind legs, swatting its forepaws through the air. A series of cracks erupted as the five ice spears were reduced to shattered ice shards.
"This is a mutant Purple Golden Mink with 3rd-tier caliber power! Moreover, it possesses strong offensive power!" Sivir was shocked to see this.
After easily swatting aside the five ice spears, Purple Golden Mink looked up at Evan with a mocking expression before springing toward the nearby carriage, leaving a deep indentation on the tree trunk with its paws. Following its transformation, its speed more than doubled, thereby allowing it to instantly shake off Monkey and Sivir.
"Crap, it's heading for the carriage! Stop it!" Sivir hurled her boomerang through the air as a panicked expression appeared on her face.
The other mercenaries also rushed toward the carriage with grim looks on their faces. Mag, Amy, and Eva were the only people on the carriage. Eva was a healer, Mag was a chef, and Amy was a child. In the face of a berserking Purple Golden Mink, they were most likely in a lot of trouble.
"In this case, you should all just go die." Contrary to what everyone else was doing, Evan withdrew his wand upon seeing that, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"No!" Eva looked at the oncoming Purple Golden Mink, and her expression changed drastically as she stumbled back.
"Go, Ugly Duckling!"
Amy stood up and joyfully released Ugly Duckling toward the oncoming Purple Golden Mink.


In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

The ark's gears hummed as strong mechanical arms pushed the 10,000-year-old ancient metal plates to both sides. The city within the ark, located close to the hull, slowly emerged into the outside world while the magnificent transformation continued to unfold. As the ship's hull gradually split into a dozen curved plates and slid off to the sides, the ancient city within began to reassemble as well. Artificial gravity kept things in place as the city's angle and altitude were adjusted to land horizontally on the ocean's surface. The two ends of the ark had already come into contact with seawater by now. There were now two opposite ends of the city, consisting of two massive islands that were connected to the city itself. One of these islands housed the Furnace of the Ancestors— the fusion reactor. Meanwhile, the other island had a series of giant metal towers—also collectively known as the Giant's Nose. This was the city's atmosphere control center.
Everyone watched the ark's transformation anxiously. All the large-scale mechanical motions required a great deal of power, and the people on the ark had to be kept safe through thousands of safety features. If anything were to go wrong, countless lives would be put in danger. Hao Ren could now make out the people moving about in the city. Having been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years, these people were not equipped to fully grasp the changing world around them. Even with Lorenz's guidance and the presence of the goddesses of fire and ice, they could not possibly calmly accept that the ground was splitting beneath their feet, that their world was turning upside down, and that the universe as they knew it was being altered completely. As the shocking environmental changes occured, the people panicked. Some knelt in prayer; some hid inside their homes, trembling, waiting for the end; some closed their eyes like they were welcoming Judgment Day. Through the chaos, Hao Ren noticed that there were dark clouds above and frequent bolts of lightning.
He took a moment to realize that the clouds and lightning were all Vivian's design—she was probably using these "miracles" to distract the people. As long as they gave the impression that the gods were initiating the transformation, the people on the ark would feel safer. For a seasoned vampire who had experienced the Mythological Era, Vivian knew how their minds worked.
Eva "watched" the events in quiet shock. Hao Ren did not know how her senses worked, but he could tell that she was observing the transformation of the ark in a conventional sense at least. When the giant metal egg slowly opened up into a city, Eva felt troubled. However, once Hao Ren explained the situation of the ark people, she began to think about it.
Despite her fragmented memories, Eva still remembered concepts like "spaceships" and "arks". She also knew what it was like for a civilization to meet their end. When she saw the ancient and heavily weathered city emerging from the metal egg, she began to understand what Hao Ren was saying. Nonetheless, she made no comments and simply disappeared in a splash of seawater.
Katreina was surprised to see Eva go missing. "How is she?"
Hao Ren could not understand as well. "I don't know… I told her that the people on the ark lack basic necessities and asked her to consider accepting them."
Katreina immediately looked worried. "Did she get angry?"
Eva, the spirit of all sirens, held a very special and important place in the queen's heart. The latter took to heart everything that concerned Eva.
"I don't think so… She doesn't seem like the petty type." Hao Ren could not figure out Eva's reaction, but he believed that Eva would not have been so upset because of these alien newcomers. "She's very far away now. I can't sense her from here."
"Perhaps it's just for the meantime. She'll probably be back very soon," Nangong Wuyue offered. However, as Eva was the Spirit of the Ocean, no one could control her movements and predict her thoughts. It was impossible for them to find her. Just as Nangong Wuyue finished, a long, sharp hum came from the arks.
The spaceships had already transformed into something completely different. After the ship's hull opened up, the city within became a rectangular floating island on the sea. There were major structural changes to the city as well. The ground was reassembled with connecting bridges and metal boards, which were previously hidden underneath. They emerged from between the cracks to become a part of the city. The transformation helped strengthen the structure of the "island". Hao Ren looked from afar, noting the chaos in the city. There were some fire and smoke rising from certain areas. In the thousands of years that had passed, the ark people had done some modifications to the ship's structure. While most of the new structures were built on top of existing ones, there were also entire new buildings in some places. If these buildings were located where reassembly was necessary, their destruction was to be expected.
Moreover, there were newly added circuitry, pipings, and mechanical facilities that were damaged by the transformation.
Nevertheless, Lorenz expected all of this—he had even arranged for the people to avoid places where reassembly would happen. The city within the ark was designed with the transformation process in mind. All the major roads and city components were positioned strategically. Even after thousands of years, it was still possible to make out where the boundaries of these transformation parts were. Lorenz used a very long time to spread the information of the boundaries to the people. Before the transformation began, he had also asked Vivian to use "divine intervention" to remove people who were unwilling to move away from the boundaries (most of these people were nomads living in the outskirts). Hence, while there were extensive damages on the buildings, casualties were reduced to a minimum.
As expected, Lorenz pinged Hao Ren a few moments later. "The ark's transformation is complete. Thank you for your help."
"How's the situation in the city?" Hao Ren set aside the issue concerning Eva and focused on Lorenz's status.
"All according to plan." Lorenz nodded. From the comm device, he seemed to be near the Furnace of the Ancestors. "All the buildings at the transformation boundaries were destroyed, but they are mostly simple tents or houses. Some machines fell into the gaps between the moving parts but we have 200 years to clean that up. The biggest problem is the castle in the Kingdom of Highspire. Some parts of the castle were located right at the edge of a transformation part. There were some major structural collapses, but we managed to disperse the people and avoid casualties."
The old man smiled all of a sudden. "At least, we know what the next step is—fixing the buildings."
Hao Ren smiled as well, but then he turned serious. "What about the confusion among the people?"
"It's as expected." Lorenz shook his head. "No one's crying about the end of the world. The nobles and soldiers did not disappoint this time. They are trying to calm the people down at the moment. The goddesses of fire and ice are a very important part in the rebuilding process. I hope to start a new religion that's beyond the Four Kingdoms, a community of worshippers for the goddesses. It will replace the current jumble of religions and spiritual organizations."
"Sounds good." Hao Ren found it interesting. "I can't speak for Vivian, but Lily will definitely be the first to agree. She just can't wait to be part of the action—"
Before Hao Ren could finish, the sound of a gigantic wave from afar cut him off!
It sounded like rolling thunder, or like an approaching tsunami. Hao Ren turned back to look and saw something shocking in the horizon—a wave as big as a mountain range was heading his way. It started out as a silver lining, but quickly reached close enough to fill his vision. It was like a huge wall that reached from the sky to the sea, and it was heading towards the fleet of arks with no signs of stopping!
Lorenz saw the wave from a vantage point on the ark. He gasped in surprise. "What is that?! Is it a natural phenomenon of this planet?!"
Having lived on the ark for his entire life, he did not know what it was.
"It's a wave… but it doesn't look natural!" Hao Ren quickly estimated from the speed of the wave that it would cause a problem for the arks. Another thought came to him—could this be Eva's doing?
The sudden appearance of the massive wave took everyone by surprise. Hao Ren realized that this could be Eva throwing a tantrum. He immediately jumped into the sea to reestablish a connection with her, but Eva's mental focus was not with him. He tried to no avail, and in those few baffling seconds, the wave had already reached the edge of the fleet!
However, it quickly shrank in size, becoming so small so quickly that it seemed to have suddenly become a surge of harmless waves. Behind them were things that were carried together with the waves. The people on the ark stared at them and exchanged looks of bewilderment.
It was a wide spread of green seaweed, intermingled with all kinds of weird marine plants. They were all tangled with each other in a mess and brought to the Royal Throne courtesy of the waves.
The small waves around the seaweed converged rapidly into the shape of a woman. The figure grew and grew until it reached a few hundred meters tall in an effort to speak to the city's people. Eva pushed the seaweed mix towards the city and spoke through clear, loud splashes of water. *Splash, splash.*
Hao Ren could finally hear Eva talking. She was repeating something in excitement, "Food, food, food!"


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

As he kept a version of himself back at the Custos Rosea, it didn't take long for Medusa to inform Vahn of what had transpired. At the same time, back at the banquet that had been prepared to entertain them, his genial smiled turned into a disappointed frown as he shook his head and said, "It seems the public order in Zephyria is even worse than expected..."
Though there were a number of other people present, the Admiral, Katarina, was the first to react to Vahn's words. Her expression instantly became more fierce as she passed her gaze around the room before asking, "Did the Sage Dragon Emperor notice something amiss? We will send someone to address the matter promptly."
Shaking his head a second time, Vahn explained, "A group of seventeen people managed to approach our vessel and board it without any port officials interceding. Is the security of the Association so lax that they are incapable of noticing nearly twenty approaching the craft of foreign dignitary within their own private docks?"
Hearing Vahn's words, Katarina's expression turned progressively dour. Then, following the explanation, she looked towards an exceptionally tall man with a unique handlebar mustache that flowed into his sideburns, saying, "Beckham, see that Her Highness' craft is well guarded for the remainder of her stay. Have someone investigate the on-duty officials to find out which of the mangy curs allowed something like this to happen. If they are unwilling to talk, have the coin melted down and swallowed by the bastards."
Despite the ruthlessness of the command, the man named Beckham didn't seem particularly concerned by his Admiral's order. Instead, his expression turned solemn and determined as he said, "Aye. I'll see to it. If I can't get to tha bottom of this, I'll put myself forward to be drawn an' quartered."
Without delaying further, the man named Beckham briefly gazed toward the two people who had accompanied him to the banquet. Then, together, they quickly alighted from the room as Katarina turned to the rest of the assembly and said, "If it turns out any of you were involved in this, I'll personally see to it that your properties burn. That'll be a mercy compared to what the Sage Dragon Emperor would do to you. Now, get out of here. The ale and wine have bittered from this news."


Though several people looked like they had something to say, Katarina hadn't been elevated to the position of Admiral by virtue of her birth. She had worked her way up through the ranks by completing countless difficult quests and earning the respect of Brave Enlil himself. Prior to her appointment, she had also made a name for herself by ruthlessly crushing the top five Sky Pirate crews over the course of a single year. Her reputation had been forged from hard effort and bloody conquest, so, rather than doubt her words, most competed to be the first to alight from the room...
Of the original twenty-six guests, only four chose to dawdle after the Admiral's warning. These were some of the most affluent people in all of Zephyria, and, though they were well-aware of the promise contained within the Admiral's words, they were undaunted. After all, despite the status she held, it wasn't as if Katarina was the 'ruler' of Zephyria. Her position might be one of the highest in the entire country, but, unless she had the support of the Council of Seven, her authority was limited to the Skyfarers Association.
Seeing the four choose to 'ignore' her words, Katarina's expression became especially vicious as she asked, "Have you forgotten where you are right now? There is a fine line between pride and arrogance...need I show you where it lies?"
Of the four who chose to remain, the first to speak was a man with a broad chest and arms as thicker than most people's thighs crossed his arms as he said, "It is you who forgets yourself, Admiral. We represent a majority in the Council of Seven. Are you trying to force us away so that you might pander to a foreign power in secrecy?"
Hearing the man's words, Katarina's expression became venomous but it was Arika who said, "You should leave. Ostia has no interest in establishing trade relations with Zephyria so your worries are unfounded. The only thing you accomplish by behaving in this manner is earning my disapproval. I have no interest in your pursuit of profiteering."
Not expecting Arika to speak out, the burly man was slightly taken aback by her words. The same could be said for his other companions, the only exception being the woman among the group. She had a rather lascivious look, and, due to her unique choice of garb, she had the appearance of a 'very' successful gypsy woman.
Breaking the tense silence with her sonorous laughter, the woman passed her gaze over Arika as if she was appraising a rare treasure before saying, "It be seeming to me dat de Ostians be knowin' better den to cultivate their flowers without thorns. I'd rather be avoidin' a prick so let me be away. Only fools be makin' a fuss in de presence of a dragon."
With her words finished, the gypsy-like woman passed her appraising gaze over Fenrir before briefly lingering on Vahn. Then, without another word, she alighted from the room, her waist snaking in a hypnotic pattern that drew the eyes of her three companions until she ultimately departed.
After having fallen silent for several seconds due to the woman's departure, the atmosphere in the room had become slightly awkward. Even the burly man from before seemed to have lost his momentum, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked around the room before settling on the Admiral and saying, "This matter involves the entire Council. If it is discovered that you are prioritizing your benefits over Zephyria, I will be the first to censure you. Don't be playing games, Katarina."
Hearing the man's words, it was Katarina's turn to cross her arms, her expression cold enough to chill ice as she said, "Piss off, Kurtis. The next time you pull something like this, don't blame me for putting you in your place. You must've had a bit too much to drink if you think you can get away with insultin' me on my own turf. Were it not for the presence of the Princess and the Sage Dragon Emperor, you'd be lucky to avoid spendin' the next three weeks in a wheelchair. Now, get the fuck out of my home."
With an incensed expression on his face, Kurtis glared back at Katarina, but, before he could say anything, Vahn chimed in, his casual smile fading as he said, "Leave. Now."
The moment Vahn spoke, an oppressive aura descended upon the room in an instant. This left the trio without words, and, after looking directly at Vahn's glowing golden eyes, any bravado they had been able to muster rapidly evaporated like a tidal pool on a hot day. They were well aware of his reputation, so, after an oppressive silence, even Kurtis, the wealthiest Merchant in all of Zephyria, decided to retreat without another word...
---
Having finished their meal, Vahn, accompanied by Eva and Asuna, had been leisurely making their way back to the Skyfarers Association. The city seemed to become more alive as the sun went down, but, unlike when Asuna had been wandering around previously, none tried to bar their passage. Though some bolder individuals tried to call out to Eva, it only took an icy cold glare to immediately deter them. As for the women eyeing up Vahn, the presence of Eva and Asuna was more than enough to prevent them from approaching. It was almost impossible to compare themselves to Eva's beauty, and, though she wouldn't hesitate to correct them, the vast majority of people assumed Asuna was the child of the inordinately attractive duo...
Seeing Eva cause a trio of drunkards to fall onto their butts with a single glance, Vahn couldn't help but issue a light chuckle. This earned him a not-so-gentle elbow from Eva, who, after the first few dozen people called out to her, quickly grew tired of it.
Since Eva had infused Ki into her blow, Vahn's laughter was cut off by the air being forced out of his lungs. A sharp pain radiated from his ribs, and, though it healed almost instantly, it was always a little surprising to experience the potency of Eva's attacks. His durability was a match for magically reinforced metals, but, due to the nature of Ki, Eva managed to fracture four of his ribs with relative ease.
Rather than make a big deal out of it, Vahn just smiled wryly before wrapping his hand around Eva's waist and pulling her a little closer to him. He hadn't missed the guilt that briefly flashed across her eyes after she elbowed him, so, before she could fall into a dour mood, he took the initiative to hold her closer. She wasn't fond of public displays of affection, so, by drawing her closer to him, Vahn was freeing her from the obligation of having to apologize.
Understanding Vahn's intentions, the tips of Eva's ears became red. The confidence she had been showing moments prior quickly faded away, but, in spite of this, fewer people dared to call out to her. Instead, a considerable number of people began collapsing on the spot, their consciousness robbed by the convergence of Vahn's aura. This caused quite a scene, but, as it had 'nothing' to do with them, Vahn continued to lead Eva and Asuna unobstructed...
---
Resisting the urge to pass out, a man with pale-green, almost white, hair leaned against a wall for support. His expression showed a mixture of disbelief and terror as he used his right hand to try and stymy the flow of blood from his nose. Around him, a number of other individuals had already collapsed, many bleeding from their seven orifices due to the wave of pressure that had spontaneously descended upon them.
Using what remained of his willpower, the man pulled out a handful of pills before voraciously shoving them down his mouth. Anyone aware of the true nature of the pills would have been mortified to see such a scene, as, despite their exterior structure, each contained an artificial, intermediate-level, Spirit. They were traditionally single-use items that could be used to save a person's life in a dangerous situation, but, as if he was a monster given human flesh, the man unhesitantly devoured the contained, horrified, spirits.
Feeling power surge through his body, a greenish-blue aura surrounded the man's body as the sound of crackling lightning surged through the room. His uncharacteristically spiky hair became even more prominent, and, after a few seconds had passed, lightning began to coil across his body. Immediately thereafter, his figure vanished from view, followed by the sound of a tumultuous thunderclap. The temperature within the room increased to several thousand degrees in an instant, but, without caring about the pawns he had left behind, the man hastily alighted from Zephyria at the speed of lightning...
After covering thousands of kilometers in an instant, the man crashed into the ground with meteoric force. When he emerged from the long trench his crash had formed, his body was in an even more ragged state than before, the lower half of his face and much of his upper body covered in blood. Despite this, he refused to fall, his expression vicious and unrelenting as he pulled out a magical flare and muttered, "That monster can't be allowed to wander freely. All of our efforts will be for naught if we continue ignoring him..."
With a fiery determination welling inside his heart, the man aimed the flare towards the sky, a fierce glimmer in his eyes as he used the last vestiges of his strength to pull the cord. Almost immediately thereafter, a pale-green orb of light ascended into the sky, but, unlike a normal flare, it didn't explode or linger at its apex. Instead, it vanished into the void, and, if not for the trail that was left behind, all signs of its existence would have faded away shortly thereafter.
Having successfully set off the flare, the man allowed his tired body to lay against the side of the crater. Darkness began to encroach on the edges of his vision as the cautionary words of his Master played through his mind. She had warned him against approaching within fifteen kilometers of their target, but, unwilling to cower in fear, he unhesitantly entered within the danger zone. He was confident that he would be able to evade Vahn's detection, and, when the latter showed even a moment of complacency, he intended to recover the Key of Twilight and receive his Master's praise...
Though he wasn't sure what had caused Vahn to suddenly 'attack' them, the man was certain their intentions hadn't been seen through. Instead, it seemed like an indiscriminate attack that targetted anyone with malicious intent within a certain radius. The most terrifying thing about this ability, other than the fact it happened 'instantly', was that it seemed to completely ignore all magical barriers and protective charms...
Moments before his consciousness faded into darkness, the man noticed the length of his shadow extend before condensing into an inky black substance. From within, a figure with dark skin, darker hair, and glimmering golden eyes appeared. His body was attired in flowing robes that seemed to be formed from the shadows themselves, the hem orbiting his figure as if he was the eye of a storm.
Staring down at the man with pale-green hair, a contemptuous look flashed across the dark-skinned man's face, his voice deep and resonating as he said, "Secundum...I always knew it would be your hubris that led to your end..."
Though the light had already faded from his eyes, the man named Secundum had yet to lose consciousness. His loyalty and sense of purpose were the strongest amongst his brothers and sisters, so, until he had passed on his message, he would not allow himself to rest.
Forcing back his hatred and resentment, Secundum grit his teeth hard enough to draw blood before stating, "Listen closely...you defective piece of trash...we cannot allow that monster to hold onto the Key of Twilight...everything we're working toward...will be undone...if we don't do anything..."
With the same contemptuous expression on his face, the dark-skinned man, Dynamis, just shook his head before saying, "Master told you to stay away and observe. I will report your failure alongside your final words..."
Hearing the man's words, Secundum's expression turned even more vicious, a small amount of light returning to his eyes. Before he could say or do anything, however, a sickening feeling spread through his body. He could feel the life draining away from him as a series of shadowy spikes penetrated his body and began to coil around him. Then, as if the ground had become quicksand, he began to sink into his own shadow, an almost inaudible, "Dynamis..." escaping his lips before he was completely subsumed.

Vahn was an atypical youth. Due to a rare mutation, his blood had the potential to target and attack ailments within the human body. Touted as a universal cure, people had elevated his status above the norm and given him the classification "Panacea". In the media, he was hailed as a great hero who would usher in a new era or human wellness. However, behind the scenes things weren't so bright. Being a unique individual, Vahn spent his entire youth locked up in a lab with various scientists and research teams using his body and blood to perform endless amounts of experiments. The only solace in his suffering was the various anime and manga made available to him between experiments. He often imagined himself as the protagonist in a world of his own, finally in control of his own destiny. For years he nurtured this desire, until at the age of 14 he died when an organization had tried to kidnap him from the lab...

"Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore..."

This was Vahn's last thought as he faded into the endless black abyss...

"You poor soul."

"You do know nothing."

~Third Person's Point of View~

Fifteen years ago, there were three childhood friends playing near at the fountain plaza. The two little boys were teasing the youngest girl by attacking her with their toy guns which filled of water.

"Not fair!" the little girl with two pigtails whined, attacking them as well, side to side, while avoiding their water shots. 

"Sorry Eva, I'll take revenge for you." the second boy that had a neatly cut on his blonde hair said. He felt sorry but at the same time he couldn't let the first boy wins.

"Well, they say, you should take on the weakest first. And now... Take that!" the first boy with black hair commented as he blasted the final shot on her shirt.

"Ahahaha! One down! Prepare yourself, Shin!" 

The little girl lost as her lavender dress turned into dark violet. She pouted as she walked out and sat down on the only one bench near at the fountain. She watched the two brothers fighting each other. At one glance, the black headed boy might win the game as he was the fastest and playful one. While the blonde one who seemed to be timid and weak but he could easily fights back by using strategies. She smiled watching these two. They were just playing but they took it seriously as they gave their hardest to win, even so, the smile on their faces never faded.

At last, the game ended. The little girl went near at them as they fell down and were laying on the floor exhausted. She giggled looking at them. 

"Looks like this time is a tie again." she said. They just gave her a smile as they were both breathing heavily. The girl laid down with them.

"Um Eva, if Mr. Gins saw you laying here, he'll put us in the jail."

"Why not! That will be so much fun!"

The girl just giggled by what the two said. But just like what the blonde boy worried, her father came to pick her up and saw them laying on the floor.

"What on earth are you two doing on my baby girl?! Get up!"

They got up immediately as soon as they heard his groggy and grim voice. 

"We're very sorry, Mr. Gins." the blonde boy apologized as he bowed in series.

While the other one formed a 'V' finger sign in front of Mr. Gins's face. "Don't be so green-minded, old man so... Peace!"

He couldn't really stand this boy and about to give him a punch as he formed its hand to fist, but his daughter stopped him. "Now, now, dad. Let's go home, mom might give you a black eye if we'll be late."

"Shin! Dave!"

They all stopped and turned around when the father of the two boys came. Suddenly, the girl hid herself on her dad. She seemed scared towards the man. The two boys saw that so, they started to walk towards their father. 

"Let's play next time, Eva." the black headed boy said as he waved at them, while the blonde boy bowed to them.

Eva watched them going to their father, and as soon as they reached at his side, she noticed that Dave became cold. It was like, black fogs surrounded him which blocked the brightness side of him. She could tell already that he didn't like their father.

"Dad, will they be OK?" she asked, and her dad, Mr. Gins, just smiled at her. 

"Of course, my princess, even an ex-con like him can change for their children."

***

"Hey! Wake up there, bitch!" 

Shouted by one of the girls wearing revealing dresses with furry coat on their shoulders, then she poured a bucket of water on Eva. She was sitting on the floor while her hands were tied up together, same goes to her legs. They had been torturing her by abuse words, punches and kicks, slaps, and soaked her in water, but she didn't get affected by those as she was just silent. Like a beautiful doll who is emotionless and shut. And it seemed like they were the ones who was getting frustrated.

"I think, we should show her more."

"Oh yeah? Then, what about ruining its face hmm?" 

"Love it~" 

They both laughed devilishly as they took out their little knives. But then, as the door opened she heard two strikes of gunshots. 

*Bang! Bang!*

The two women who tortured her fell down on the floor. Seeing the holes on their head didn't even make her flinch. She had to make a plan wisely on how to deal with the man who just headshot the girls, Circus.

"You really know how to hide your expressions. Still showing a blank face as always, Eva." he said while leaning against the door and playing with his revolver. But Eva didn't utter any words. He came closer to her and squatted to level her face, then he looked at her straight to the eyes. "You have mouth right? So, why not open it once in a while." he glared sarcastically. 

Still she was keeping herself silent, and glared him back. Circus tried to read her thoughts through her eyes but failed. She's the only one he can't tell what she's up to, when he is known for being good at knowing what others thinking by their expressions. That's his specialty, but Eva is exception to him. He can't read her at all. And she's aware of that.

Circus stood up and walked around. "I was shocked when at first got to know that you're one of them. They just gave me a lot of pain in the ass. First, intrusion. Second, ruining my business. Third, annoying by fault. And lastly, one of them is a nuisance."

He stopped and looked at her, "So, here you are representing as my bait."

Eva let out a deep breath after hearing all his blubbering. She knew well who he was talking about and it was not about her or the kids helped her in ruining the transaction. She knew that it was a different people he was cussing to. Then, she smirked at him that made him stun on its feet.

"You still sounded like a kid, Shin. Try to intimidate me again once you read my mind, OK." she mocked.

At first, he got shocked by what she said but then he started giggling that led to laughing when he couldn't control of it to let out. And it annoyed Eva.

"Oh sorry, did I annoy you?"

She glared at him, "You've changed."

As she said that Circus became cold. He looked back at her, and he could tell the anger in her eyes. She was telling him that he is not the same Shin anymore, and that the Shin she knew is already dead.

She have known him since they were kids, along with his elder brother, Dave.

They first met at the fountain in the center of plaza. Eva was so clumsy and weak that the other kids always bullied her, even though they knew that both of her parents were police officers. One day, the brothers were walking and caught the kids bullying Eva. They attacked them and sided her, but in the end, all three of them got beaten up instead. The kids left them laying on the floor exhaustedly weak. But for some reason, they started giggling till they laughed out loud together. That's how they became friends. Since then, they had been playing together. They taught each other how to defend themselves. Day by day, they became free from bullying. But then, a horrible incident happened to the brothers that made Eva gets scared towards their father. 

It happened at the same place.

Dave and Shin were going home when they heard noises from their house. It was like there was a fight going on, but they knew already that it was caused by their father. He was a criminal that just got home from jail after five years of imprisonment. And as soon as they entered the house, they saw their drunk old man being wild. Breaking appliances, throwing plates and glasses, and tearing up all the clothes. While there was a thin woman sitting at the corner, she was neither worried nor scared. There was not even a trace of tears on her face. A soulless woman. 

The wild man stopped as he realized that there was nothing to break, then he came towards his wife. He lifted her up by her collar with only one hand and punched its stomach really hard, then he dropped her. She fell down and started coughing with blood nonstop, but the expressionless face was still there. The woman didn't even care at all. And as their father didn't get satisfied he started beaten up its wife nonstop. 

The two kids were trembling in fear. They wanted to stop him and save their mother but their bodies were not listening to them. Dave held Shin's hand as he noticed that their mother was finally free from hell. The man stopped. He tried to wake up his wife by slapping its unrecognizable face, but then gave up after countless of slaps. 

Shin got shocked as he didn't expect that their father looked at the entrance door where they were standing. But Dave already knew because he caught his father glancing on them couple of times while beating up his wife. He tightly held his brother's hand as he pulled him and ran as soon as their father stood up. 

That was the beginning of the nightmare of Eva. 

Eva was upset that time because her parents were arguing as she came home, but she didn't go straight inside house and ran away instead. She couldn't take to hear them fights. That's why, she went to the plaza and stayed there sitting at the rail of the fountain.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Gins settled down when they realized that Eva hadn't come home yet. They both sighed and hugged each other indicating of forgiveness. Then, they both dashed off and immediately looked for their only daughter. And there's only one place they knew that she might be.

But to their surprise, they saw Eva was not alone. The two kids that are her only friends were also at that place and unconscious on the floor, while there was a man standing in front of her. Mr. Gins immediately ran then jumped in front of his daughter when he saw a dangerous man brandished a knife. 

The wife grabbed her daughter away from them, and went closer to the boys to protect them as well. While Mr. Gins fought the dangerous man. At that night the old man of the two boys once again imprisoned for murdering his own wife and attempting child abuse. 

But that was just the beginning of her nightmare. She didn't know that at a young age she would lost two important persons of her life. 

"People changed, Eva. And you've changed too. You're not that clumsy and scared-cat girl anymore." Cirsus said. He became unreadable. 

"While you become heartless and murderer... Like your excon father." Eva sarcastically said that made Circus furious. He rushed to her and grabbed her by her shirt. 

"Don't test me. I can kill you right now."

She could clearly see the madness on his eyes. She smirked as he was the one who got triggered. 

"Then, kill me already. Kill me like what your excon father did to Dave and to my mother!!" she couldn't hold her anger and bursted out as pushed him away. 

"I really wonder how did you escape. Why only you was saved and he didn't kill you... When you rushed at home that night, I thought something bad happened but you said it wasn't that big of a deal, and you just went because you needed mom's help... But then what? What we found out when we went at your house? Mom already got killed by your father! Not only that, he even raped her like an animal!! While you? You were just crying over the dead body of Dave. But I knew he tried to save mom..." 

She bit her lips when she remembered the tragedy. 

"Dad really did a mistake. He shouldn't help your father not to be sentenced! Your father should just stay and die.!"

Circus released her. 

"Are you done? Am I the one who killed your mother so, why are you spitting on me? You should blame the dead body and thank me instead for the torture I did to that excon old man you're talking about."

After hearing what he said, Eva became more angry. 

"You think I didn't know?! It is you who got my mom killed! That monster told you to do that, and you followed it instead of escaping or telling us the truth! Just why on earth did you do that huh, Shin!? Aren't you smart? So, why did you let him do want he wanted! I'm angry at you because after that incident and all, you became like this just like your dad!"

She would forgive his mistakes if only he didn't become a cruel man like what he is right now. 

"You went gone after what happened and didn't show up, then I got to know you're that infamous Circus. You are not Shin anymore! You're just like your fathe----"

*Pak!*

"You do know nothing. Every bad incident has its own reason as to why it have to be happened in cruelty." he said after he slapped Eva to make her mouth shut. He turned back at her and went to the door but while walking he said something to her.

"Give peace to your past or it might spoil your present. If you want, I can kill you right now..."

He stopped walking at the front door and held the doorknob, then he glanced at her.

"...just say so, my ex-childhood friend."

To be continued...

She, who has demon inside of her mind that caused deaths to those people whom she had considered as her family. She fell in love, not only once but twice, and they only ended up dead in front of her eyes. All the people that got closed to her, they just didn't last long. 

He, who can see dark creatures of a person that a normal can't. The first and only one who can see her dark form. But he seeks for revenge and in his hand, he'll make sure to put an end to the humans with devils. 

And these two will meet...

Together, they'll face the sour truths behind the incomplete puzzle that awaits ahead of them.

As Kiba emerged out of the dust and smoke, the guards unconsciously stepped back. 
"Where are Agatha and my daughter?" Kiba asked. 
The guards glanced at their captain as if passing all responsibility to him. The captain cursed his luck before replying, "Chairman Hank said you would learn at the right time! For now, you have to leave and wait, unless you wish to face grave consequences!"
The captain spoke with more bravery than he felt.
"Is that so?" Kiba icily asked. 
The captain's eyes expanded as the moment Kiba's words entered his ears, the air in front of him exploded. It happened far too quickly, and even before the thought of dodging could run through his brain, the impact shattered through his defense and blasted him back.
The other guards were dazed and disoriented as the captain smashed on the wall. They were observing everything too carefully but still couldn't pinpoint how exactly the air exploded.
"I know the captain said Kiba was ridiculously strong, but this is too much!" One of the guards said. "How are we supposed to face attacks we couldn't see or feel?!"
"You are right! Not to mention, we aren't paid enough to face a monster like him!" Another guard added as he ran towards the destroyed entrance. "The elite unit can come here if they want to stop him! I'm leaving!"
The remaining guards: "..." 
Many of them cursed him for being a coward while few secretly agreeing he was smart. Still, they had a duty to perform and lacked the luxury of running away. 
Without wasting any time, they launched multiple attacks. Some fired multiple shots with laser and plasma guns while the rest lashed out with their offensive abilities.
RUMBLE~!
The combined might made the air fluctuate with bright, multiple attacks. The ground floor shook while the enhanced metallic tiles cracked. 
In the face of such attacks, Kiba remained nonchalant. He eyed the attacks and the attackers, making their spines crawl with chilling sensation.
SCREECH~!
An ear-piercing sound erupted as the laser and plasma beams froze in mid-air. The mutants attacking with offensive abilities similarly froze in mid-attack, their bodies completely immobilized.
"Get lost."
Two words entered their minds just as a devastating force hit them on their chest. Everything then became a series of blurs as laser and plasma beams along with the guards rapidly swept back.
One moment they were near Kiba and the next, they crashed on the walls.
"Telkineticics?!" 
The "coward" guard wondered as he arrived at the destroyed entrance and glanced back in time to see his companions defeated.
He didn't wonder for long and moved forward to leave, but then trembled as he found himself immobilized. 
"I... I don't know anything!" The guard shouted with all his strength. "Not even the captain knows!"
Perhaps his response, no matter how unsatisfying, was true as he was able to move again. He used the best of this opportunity to rush out.
Kiba ignored the knocked out guards and closed his eyes. His extrasensory perception erupted to scan the skyscraper. There were many enhanced electronic gadgets to block scanning but his senses swiftly covered one floor after another, observing everything in detail: people, traps, missile rockets, guards, etc.
"Hmm?"
He found the floors after the fiftieth floor completely cut-off from his perception; as if they were in some inaccessible space.
"Hank must have prepared a lot."
Kiba enveloped himself with rays of golden light and shot up, smashing through the ceiling and directly arriving on the first floor. 
RUMBLE~!
Even as the people on the first floor started reacting at the rumbling sounds, Kiba has already broken through its ceiling and arrived on the second floor.
Round holes emerged on one floor after another, in rapid succession, and all people see was a golden comet dashing upwards.
"What was that?!" 
The people wondered as they looked up through the successive holes...
***
The moment Kiba passed the sixteenth-floor, multiple artillery locked on him. The ceiling above opened up to reveal multiple weapons that fired a sea of ammunition at him; making the floor filled with multiple bright lights, like firecrackers.
"I know the corporation sells weapons, but this is too much."
Kiba said as along with bullets, mini-rockets shot at him, backed by destructive power. He already knew they contained not only traditional gunpowder and high explosive type materials, but also special chemicals lethal to mutants. 
Kiba spread his arms, and through his palms, energy ripples flashed out. 
The ripples swept through the bullets and rockets, and a buzzing sound crackled through the air. The propelling power of the bullets and rockets died, and they collapsed on the floor.
BOOOM
The instant they touched the floor, they exploded into a blazing storm that quickly spread through the floor. 
On the floors below, the sound of the explosion echoed through the holes.
The people near the holes looked up to satisfy their curiosity. Sadly, this was the same moment when the blazing storm passed through the successive holes like a pillar descending. The fluctuations turned them into a pile of ash. 
The others nearby jumped back in horror while secretly thanking their lucky stars for not gazing through the holes.
Today, they learned the meaning of "curiosity killed the cat."
....
Kiba shot through another floor when the explosives locked on him lost their propelling power. The floors were enhanced with sensors and durable metals to survive against any attack, including explosive powers, and while he could easily break through them, the blazing storm wasn't so lucky.
 
He arrived on the twenty-fifth floor when the elite unit attacked him.
The mutant named Xil opened his mouth and released a green, foggy acidic breath. While the mutant named Wlo transformed his arms into mechanical blasters to smash Kiba away.
"Chairman Hank wants you to leave!" Xil said as the acidic breath enveloped Kiba. "And wait for his orders!"
"If not, you can forget about your loved ones!" Wlo threatened with a grin. "And blame yourself for the rest of your life!"
Kiba landed on the floor, enveloped by the acidic breath. 
"You think I'm some idiot you could fool?"
Kiba asked as a destructive power surged out of his body.
"The very fact that Hank didn't stop me on the ground floor itself, by using a video of Agatha and Hope, pretty much tells me your little scheme hasn't worked as you planned! Plus, using guards and weapons to threaten me confirms I'm right!"
Kiba wouldn't be Kiba if he didn't noticed small details. He didn't know what didn't work in Hank's favors, but he knew, his guess was right!
Even if he was served with doctored videos of Agatha and Hope, it wouldn't work as he would have demanded a live conference on the spot. That would also ruin the possibility of using shapeshifters!
The expressions of Xil and Wlo changed, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Wasn't it said that in emotional and distress situations, people lose their ability to think rationally and act logically?! So how the hell could this guy still think properly and see through the flaws!?
BANG
The destructive power radiating out of Kiba smashed through the fogy, acidic breath and ripped it apart. 
Xil's eyes constricted as at the same instant, Kiba appeared in front of him. 
So fast!
Xil thought just as Kiba grabbed his neck. 
"Your breath smells like a dead rat," Kiba said as he snapped Xil's neck.
"!" Wlo was dumbstruck with terror.
This wasn't how things were supposed to happen! At least, Xil wasn't to die in seconds, without getting a chance to resist!
Kiba turned towards Wlo and the latter flinched. Just as he thought he was next, a feminine presence appeared at the end of the floor. 
"Carole," Kiba called out without turning back.
"Kiba," Carole greeted him back with a soft sigh.
"Do you want to die as well?"
"..."
***
On the eighty-third floor.
Agatha and Eva looked on as Hank walked out of the elevator and stepped towards the force field barrier.
"I have to admit, you have got guts to kidnap Kiba's daughter," Agatha said with ridicule. "But do you think he is someone you can control?"
Hank ignored the ridicule and scorn in her voice. He knew she was right about Kiba.
Kiba was unpredictable and wild.
Still, without losing his cool, Hank replied, "Neither you nor your daughter is kidnapped. Remember you were having a lunch with your parents? We just changed the location and nothing else."
"Yeah, right," Agatha scoffed. 
"Trust me, I had no intention of making you feel kidnapped or confined," Hank said before bringing his eyes on Eva. "But my bitch daughter ruined that and brought us to this uncomfortable scenario."
"Well, father, I'm very sorry about that!" Eva said with a sincere expression. "Let me out and I will make everything right! Promise!"
Hank ignored her.
He hasn't acted on his daughter before because he wanted to know her modes of spying in the corporation. And when he realized she has learned his plan and wanted to interfere, he moved to stop her, but she surprised him with her trump cards.
"Agatha, cooperate with us," Hank started again. "What I planned would benefit us all, including Kiba."
Agatha snorted in disdain before turning towards Eva. 
"I have an idea, and that requires both of us to act as one, but I'm not sure if we will succeed," Agatha said. 
"Well, seeing that we are out of options, let's try whatever you have in mind," Eva replied with a grin. "But let me warn you, I'm not in women so your idea of us acting as one better be different than what you are implying."
Agatha: "........"
I didn't imply anything!


In the age of mutants and technology, everyone is after power and eternal life, but Kiba lives for his dreams of lust and vanity.

A man on a mission to live the life to the fullest. 

The tale of the legendary Wife Hunter whose very name terrifies husbands around the globe.

"Tang Yue, Mr. Cat, look… the sun has risen." Mai Dong had the bulky EVA suit pulled up halfway when she looked up. Golden rays of sunlight poured in through the module's windows, landing on the girl's pale cheeks.
From Mai Dong's angle, the sunlight drew out a dark, humongous arc—the ends of Mars. The pitch-black shadow had hints of red as its thin atmosphere emitted a white luster. The sun's diamond ring effect disappeared rapidly before its rays shone onto the solar panels that were in the shadows.
The United Space Station's large array of solar panels were slowly spinning like a series of sharp blades that sliced the sunlight into particles.
Mai Dong squinted her eyes as the light and shadows brushed past her face, outlining her tiny, mellow nose.
"To us, the sun has been above us all this time," Tang Yue said.
"I envy you guys." Mai Dong put on her helmet, fastened the buckles, and said, "Be it on Earth or on Mars, the world revolves around the sun. It's the center of the world and filled with brightness… But on the space station, you can see that… the Universe is too black and too deep. Even with the sun being a light-emitting star, it is unable to illuminate the Universe.
"At times, I believe that humans might not be prepared for long-distance travel." Mai Dong checked the communications system as numbers reflected on her visor. "Humans often try to find something to rely on. In the past, it's home, Earth, the sun. But once you enter deep space, humans become wanderers without any support spiritually. I believe in the years to come if humans begin interstellar travel, those souls that vanish in the Universe be able to find their way home."
"That's why there's Gagarin, Armstrong, Old Wang, Thomp, and us," Tang Yue said. "Lu Xun once said, 'For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.'"
"Besides, there won't be years to come," Tomcat interrupted. "There won't be people taking the roads you pave."
Mai Dong passed through the passage and left the Crystal module, entering the Hub APAS module. Previously, the exit nearest to the arm had been the Dawn module, but it was completely damaged. Mai Dong could just use the Hope experiment module which had an airlock to enable the extravehicular activities of an astronaut.
"The EVA system is normal. The EVA suit is okay. All sections on the space station are normal." Tomcat controlled everything as all the computer screens in front of it lit up.
Tang Yue quickly read the draft in his hand as he looked at the time. He needed to ensure that nothing went wrong during the mission.
"MSSRMS system connected. Canadarm70 robotic arm is on standby," Tomcat said, as it entered the control interface of the arm. Controlling the arm in the space station was different from doing it from Kunlun Station. The space station allowed an analog control by using a control stick to control its actions, but Kunlun Station only allowed keyboard and mouse input. Using a mouse to control a robotic arm with twelve degrees of freedom was something no one could do except Tomcat.
The folded arm slowly extended. This complicated and expensive arm was one of the most intricate tools on the space station. It had once saved Mai Dong's life.
"Mai Dong, do an equipment check. Have you brought everything?" Tang Yue reminded.
"Yes."
Mai Dong was inside the airlock awaiting the depressurization.
With a beep, the indicator light changed from red to green as Mai Dong took a deep breath. She opened the airlock hatch that led outside.
At the instant she exited, she felt a little dizzy. This wasn't the first time Mai Dong had headed out, but every time she left the space station, it felt as if she was stepping into the abyss.
"The time is now fifteen minutes past nine in the morning. Five minutes after we started the mission," Tang Yue stood by the side as he communicated with Mai Dong through the earpiece as he stared at the time."Mai Dong, are you okay?"
"Rest easy." The girl's voice was very staid.
"I'm sending Miss Mai Dong over," Tomcat said with a deep voice. The live video from the camera was projected onto the screen as Tomcat specially used a screen to monitor the arm's operational conditions.
The main camera was installed above Mai Dong's head, allowing Tomcat to see whatever Mai Dong could see.
The airlock was about thirty meters away from the S1 solar panels. The arm moved at a speed of half a meter per second, but in Mai Dong's eyes, the gigantic solar panels were slowly approaching her.
Mai Dong pulled down her light-filtering visor as the sunlight was a little blinding.
"Another five meters… Three meters… One meter, OK! Secured!"
"Mai Dong?"
"OK! I can see the sensor already…" Mai Dong raised her hand to push up the light-filtering visor midway. She hid in the shadows of the solar panels to prevent the sunlight from directly hitting her.
The S1 battery bank had a total of two solar panels. They were installed on a revolving mechanism, making it one of the main sources of power for the United Space Station. A solar panel's length reached forty meters and its main body was made out of monocrystalline silicon. The surface was layered with a protective film, making the blue solar panels look dark brown.
The battery bank's actuator was installed on the frame which was a huge and very complicated mechanical structure. As for the light sensor, it was an inconspicuous trivial piece of equipment. It was a protruded hemisphere which was only a protective layer of plastic. Embedded inside was a chip that sat flush with the space station. It was the sensor's main body.
It looked like a surveillance camera, except the light sensor's mission wasn't to take images but to determine the direction of the sunlight.
A battery bank had two sensors that backed each other up. If one was damaged, there was another, but this time, the damage was on the overall control circuit, which was why there was a need for manual repairs. 
"Locate the spot!" Tang Yue indicated. "Do you still remember the steps? Locate the spot, then open the outer shell. Once done, this extravehicular mission will be a success!"
"Locate the spot… locate the spot…" Mai Dong nodded as she exhaled, forming a vapor that condensed on the visor.
The outer shell of the actuator was covered with a few layers of a firm polymer film. They were for heat insulation, so to remove the outer shell, Mai Dong needed to first cut open this material.
Mai Dong took out a tiny electric dremel from her tool bag.
Tang Yue and Tomcat remained in Kunlun Station as the arm's four cameras turned towards Mai Dong. The man and cat looked at the white swollen figure clumsily working from different angles. Mai Dong only had her legs secured to the arm while her body was slowly moving around in zero gravity. The tools had slipped away from her hands several times.
"Calm down, calm down… Mai Dong." Tang Yue held his hand onto the desk as he pressed onto Tomcat's shoulder. "There's still plenty of time."
"There's a total of four layers to the outer cloth," Mai Dong replied. "I've cut through the first layer, creating an opening that's forty centimeters wide. Next, I'll prepare to cut open the second layer." 
"Do you need to take a break?"
"No." Mai Dong exhaled. "I'm not tired yet."
"Don't force it," Tomcat said. "Miss Mai Dong, fatigue will reduce your efficiency."
"I feel like a doctor, operating on a giant." Mai Dong turned her head to look at the massive space station behind her. "When I was young, I had thought of being a doctor… If I had become a doctor, I probably wouldn't be here."
Removing the second heat insulation material took about ten minutes, and she met with a little trouble cutting through the third layer. A metal wire had hindered her progress which was a little unexpected. No one knew that such a wire would appear. Tomcat had suggested that she return to the space station to switch tools to snap it off.
When half of the allocated mission time was up, Mai Dong had finally cut through all the plastic membrane.
"I see the outer shell!"
"Do you see the maintenance lid?" Tang Yue asked. "The four Penta screws?"
"Yes… That's right." Mai Dong looked up and smiled at the camera. "You are right."
"Next step, remove the screws and dismantle the outer shell! You have fifty minutes."


Payload specialist, Tang Yue, who is a mechanical and electrical engineer by training, is left stranded on Mars when he receives news from his AI robot assistant, Tomcat, that Earth has exploded. He believes himself to be the last human in the Universe.
Turns out, he is only the last man in the Universe. Botanist, Mai Dong, had been left on the United Space Station (USS) orbiting Mars, to await Tang Yue's ascent to the USS before they make their journey back to Earth. But now, it's impossible.
Join the trio's quest for survival as they attempt to unravel the mystery of Earth's disappearance.

"You want me to come with you to your sister's bachelorette party?" Hazel asked doubtfully. 
Eva's sister was getting married on Saturday. The bachelorette party was tonight, the rehearsal was tomorrow, and the wedding was the day after. If she didn't want to be stuck alone in Eva's apartment all weekend, she would have to go but she didn't even know these people. 
Inviting herself seemed rude even though Eva promised it would be okay. 
"You can be my plus one! I do have one on my invitation. My sister probably hoped I would manage to find myself a date but oh well. A friend works just as well."
Her gaze grew pleading. "Please? My hometown is a few hours from here by car so I can't drive back and forth for all of the festivities. Your airport situation will probably be resolved by Monday and I want to keep spending time with you."
Hazel sighed. She had never been to a wedding before if you didn't count her own. And she didn't, because that had involved a drive through. Normal weddings were nothing like that. 
She supposed she could consider it an interesting social experiment. Seeing how normal people lived. But all of the love in the air would probably make her miss Will even more fiercely than she already did. 
They had been texting and calling every day they were apart but it wasn't the same. She wanted to see his face, feel his arms around her, and soak up the special brand of affection she only got from him. 
"Alright, I'll go. But I'll need to buy a dress first. I didn't bring anything wedding appropriate with me," Hazel said. 
Eva perked up instantly. "Oh, I know the perfect boutique to go to! They're great at custom sizing things. I got my bridesmaid dress fixed up there. You should be able to find something that fits you just fine. Let's go!"
Since she only worked 30 hours per week at the call center instead of the standard 40 (she had cut back once her novels became contracted so she would have more time to work on them), she had plenty of time to take Hazel on a Thursday afternoon. Her shift was from 8 AM to 2 PM Monday-Friday. 
She confided that she was one of the lucky ones. A lot of people who worked in call centers had horrible hours like in the middle of the night or at the crack of dawn. But the place her company did customer service for was only open during normal business hours. 
"I'm surprised they approved additional time off right after you got back from a trip," Hazel said as they drove over to the boutique. 
Eva laughed. "Oh, they didn't. I'm going to use one of my sick days and pretend I'm losing my voice so I can't come in and answer calls. Believe it or not, I'm an excellent actress."
For some reason that wasn't at all surprising. Nobody had more spunk or personality than this odd woman who had taken Hazel under her wing. She was good at a lot of different things, picking and choosing from all sorts of hobbies and interests. 
Over the past few days Hazel had learned that Eva had won a local cooking competition in her hometown when she was younger, knew how to quilt, could do all of her own car repairs, and preferred making her own caramels over buying store bought ones. 
She couldn't even imagine having that many different hobbies. She supposed the only other things she did often enough to count other than art were reading and hiking. And the latter hadn't started until she moved to the mountains. 
Eva had made some caramels for the two of them to share and Hazel couldn't deny that they were far superior to any she had eaten before. But she didn't have the patience to do that sort of thing herself even if she did have the recipe. 
Her friend offered to send her home with a homemade quilt too, completely out of the blue after Hazel admired the one on her bed. Apparently she had an entire closet full of them from when she went through a quilting phase and there were far too many for a single person to use. 
The one she offered was truly beautiful. The base was white but there were zigzagging patterns with different pieces of fabric in shades of blue, teal, and purple. 
Hazel was a bit choked up as she accepted it. Homemade items were something she thought she would never have again. Her mom used to sew her little dresses when she was very young for special occasions. 
"Should we get you a dress to match your hair?" Eva wondered aloud, snapping her out of her thoughts. 
It would be terribly eye-catching. The last time she wore a solid-colored dress the same shade as her hair was when it was bright red and people had looked at her like she was a strange human tomato. 
She tended to avoid wearing the current color of her hair unless there was enough other things going on in the outfit that it wasn't too overwhelming. But a plain mint green dress with mint green hair would make her look like those anime pixies she had seen at the convention. 
"I would rather not," Hazel said. 
"Aww, come on! It would be fun. You would look like a fairy."
That was exactly why she didn't want to do it. She already looked like a child because of her height and tiny build. This would make her look even more waifish than she already did. 
Eva kept pushing for it because it was one of her sister's wedding colors. They were mint green, navy blue, and gold. The bridesmaids were all wearing navy dresses so she thought it would be a good idea to match the theme as her plus one. 
Hazel couldn't win. That was how she ended up buying a mint green knee-length chiffon dress with a pleated neckline. At least it would be a cute thing to wear once her hair was a different color later on.

“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...
