Creed was just a step away from exiting the cave until he was trifled with a familiar sound coming from his wrist.
~BEEP ~BEEP
The beeping sound of his watch gulped his focus. The instant he read the notification; his eyes stretched wide in perplexity.
"What the--" He blurted out involuntarily after reading the notification. "This...this has to be some kind of mistake!"
With his gut-churning milk and forehead drenched in purple sweat, Creed ran out of the cave in a frenzy. His leg muscles were filled with some kind of animalistic vigor. A web of confused neurons firing shots in his brain. He stormed through the entire forest as fast as his legs allowed him.
~Huff ~Huff
His face wa
"Hehehe! With this... I'm rich!"Creed was nowhere close to being rich, but the sudden influx of money made his heart inflate like a giant helium balloon. He exited from the main gate of the tavern with a lustful grin. From just a single hunt, he gained 2 times more than he had imagined. His bank was brimming with quids, and his heart was filled with unexplainable ecstasy.Now he understood why hunters resort to creating parties. He could almost visualize the huge hole in his wallet now being sewed with the sweet chimes of clanking virtual coins.However, not everything was settled yet. Just as he exited the tavern, he saw Agenor and Maira now coming towards him. They were definitely coming to talk about something, Creed just stayed at his spot with curiosity in his eyes.
Creed found himself walking alongside one of the senior party members in a familiar direction. To save some time, Agenor had already told them to reach the posh sector of public shelter until he sends the exact coordinates of the building where they were supposed to meet this big shot. This part of the public sector was reserved for people with gigantic wallets. He saw one of the buildings and recognized this place. Creed had been here before. This was the same place where Archie had created his residence. He smirked slightly when he realized that the huge hole that he had made in the building was now gone, and the guards outside the building had doubled in numbers. The public shelter was huge, it was hard to accept that even after walking for
Creed was about to say something, but a whimpering mechanical sound cut him off.~Beep ~BeepThe beeping jangle of the incoming ping made Creed turn his eyes at its origin. He took a peek at Colt's wrist and realized that Agenor had finally sent the location. Colt took a quick glance and said,"I think it's the building right around the next block!"Creed nodded and followed him meekly. They both soon reached a peculiar building that shocked both of them. Creed gulped a mouthful of saliva when he realized how huge this building was.The building was so huge; it crossed all of his expectations. Colt was also taken aback when he tried to peer into the edge of the humongous establishment. This wasn't just an ordinary build
Why was a guy like him getting out of his way to call him out like that? What was the purpose of this meeting? What did he do to grab this guy's attention?Questions with no reasonable answer cluttered his mind.While staggering through the huge corridor, they passed by several rooms. The noticeable fact about these enormous rooms was that none of them were enormous and had no doors to begin with.Moreover, each of them was decorated with chandeliers, wall paintings and luxurious carpets. The purpose of these vast rooms was unclear to him, but he could guess these rooms were some kind of gathering area for an enormous crowd.Ironically enough, with the sounds of their feet echoing through the premise, it wasn't a stretch to say that this pla
"Yes, father! There is no doubt about it…" She raised her finger toward him and said, "He is the one who took advantage of me!"".""..""..."Creed could see his worst nightmares turning into a reality. All of his effort to save this girl now has seemed to be a waste of time and energy.The gravity of the situation put a crack through his soul. Creed sweated profusely when he realized there wasn't much to be said now. His vision blacked out. He regretted his decision to save this ungrateful idiot and kissed his peaceful life goodbye."W—What!" Creed blurted out in agitation.Before he could say anything more, Colt tapped
Artemis took a brief pause this time. Her surreal eyes shook in their sockets and her thin throat dried up. She had her eyes facing the ground the entire time. She soon gulped hard before opening her mouth again. "Creed Gryffon, I think I have fallen for you. Would you please go out with me?" "Eh!!!" Creed's soul almost escaped out of his mouth the very second, he heard those unreal words. These words hit like a truck that almost knocked him out unconscious. The way she made such an embarrassing yet bold confession, his introverted core froze into a stone. 'Wait! Am I stupid? No way, she said that… This might be another prank. Or maybe there is some other way to interpret this! 'Go out with me' ...hmm… I guess she wants me to accompany her somewhere. Yes, of course!
Creed was walking on the streets of the posh area of public shelter with dreadful expression, he had been caught for murder.His right elbow rested over his left arm while he constantly bit the knucklebones of his right fist. Inside his mind, his peace and serenity were already destroyed by this current situation.He was not a complete introvert, but he loved his solitude more than anything. However, now a huge wrench was dangling over his head. While he could already feel his peaceful world crumbling into the dust, he also heard unrestrained laughter coming from the bearded douchebag walking beside him."Hahahaha!" Colt giggled beside him, "That was hilarious… What a show!"Creed didn't say a word, just kept walking with a sullen face. His heart screamed to land
However, the Glitches' influence finally rubbed off on the masses and the inequality created huge friction between the clans and the clanless, forcing the entire humanity to go through an era of revolution. Although Creed had seen none of that, his mother had told him about that time.Three-fourth of the entire human population revolted against these bureaucratic constructs and secrecy over combat techniques that were enforced by these clans. The amount of recurring bloodshed and losses they gained from the insurgence even forced some clans to cease their operations and disband.Ultimately, against the sheer number of clanless individuals, even the top clans were forced to withdraw their tyrannical control over most of their advanced combat techniques, skill, and even genome scripts.Soon, several techniques w
