Mane sat cross-legged in his room, his eyes closed and his breathing rhythmic. The ever-chatting masters were silent, giving him some much-needed space. Within Mane’s inner world, a space separate from his soulscape and mindscape, a small token of authority was floating silently. The token was without a true form, for it was a ring at certain times, and at others, it was a bracelet. It adopted the form of a necklace at one point, and at another an earring. It had no definite form, and it had no definite shape. This item was something called a Token of Authority.The Token of Authority was something that every Noble possessed. Once a Noble earned his title and became a Noble, the Token of Authority was formed in their inner world. This inner world was an amalgamation of all their techniques and power, and its purpose was to be fed to the Token of Authority. Years ago – or merely two years ago actually – Ananse had taught Mane about the Token of Authority and the role it played in ascen

“A year of monsters huh. Only the idiots from God King would have the audacity to spit out such words.” A mocking voice from the next table butted in, causing Kahn and his colleagues’ expressions to grow sore.Those words brought the attention of the entire bar unto the four who had been previously hidden, undoing their plan of a stealthy time of relaxation.“Are those really students from God King Academy?”“How can that be? Don’t God Academies strictly regulate the ins and outs of their students?”“Well, I did hear that a number of students from the God Academies were visiting the planet for the trials. So, it may actually be true.”“It really is them! Look! The one on the left looks familiar. His horns are like ours, and he bears a striking resemblance to Kahn!”“You are right! It is indeed Kahn!”“Kahn the Great is back!”Many of the drinkers here had attended the last trials and had been privileged to see Kahn in action. So those who had never seen the Greater Celestial before –

“I apologise for our rude actions. I will notify my family immediately. They will reimburse you for the cost of your bar and compensate you for the trouble we have caused you.” Kahn swiftly stepped out to settle the matter.Much like when he had met Mane for the first time, his Glow was warning him severely to not antagonize this man! Clearly, this man was way above their reach!“If it isn’t Kahn the Great. I have heard much about you. Since you have personally stepped out, then I would have to let today’s matter slide.” The barkeep smiled warmly and said.“This is why I have always told you to reign it in. Now that nice kid has to pay for the damages you caused.” Reiki did not miss this chance to berate Maia. His words caused the Eternal shame, and she lowered her head while mouthing a ‘sorry’ to Kahn. The latter merely shook his head to gesture that it was okay, before offering this thanks to the bark

“What language is that?” Frost asked, his face twisted into a frown.“I don’t know,” Kahn shook his head immediately. “Bel, do you know it?” the Greater Celestial asked, for Bel was famous for her knowledge on ancient Sanskrit and her vast intelligence.“I don’t know it,” Bel replied, her cheeks covered in a red tinge.“Oh my God. You are already crushing on him,” Frost snorted. His eyes were coated in slight displeasure at the sight of Maia kneeling.“What? Of course not! He is only a child!” Bel swiftly denied her brother’s allegations.While she looked sweet and innocent, Bel was already an adult, for she was three years older than Kahn. As for Frost, he was just two years older than his sister.“Yes. A child born to the Absolute Queen, a woman you look up to blindly,” Frost frowned and said.The Absolute Queen’s time in God King was documented as one of the greatest times of God King Academy. For a school that was initially on the decline, Thrud’s attendance returned God King’s pr

Darkness is a concept we are all familiar with. There was a time of day where the sun gave way and allowed the moon to claim some of its glory away. In that time, the shadows felt at home and dominated the earth, and light became a craved afterthought for those who had enjoyed its pleasured embrace earlier in the day. Darkness was natural, and wherever there was light, there would always be darkness. Such was the natural order of the day. Such was the way the good Lord had intended it when he set the heavens apart from the earth. However, where there was a natural order of things, there was also an unnatural order of things. Mane had spent his entire life on Zandor, but the planet that was once the home of the gods was commonplace in every way. It possessed night and day much like ever other functional planet of the universe. What Mane was looking at however, was not natural in the slightest.A great darkness covered the earth. This darkness was so great that even with True Eyes, the
