Chapter 12: Girl In Black Alley
I stepped out of the Sinister Alley just a few feet away from the Shumei Shopping District. As I walk the path towards the seeping sunlight, there is a binging silence in the area.
I was about to remove my Devourer's Mask when I felt something unusual.
The place was too silent despite the rumbling on the chewy layer of maltene beneath the heavily scorched pavement and the rattling of the cans and bottles scattered on the floor.
It is as if the sound waves are purposely omitted.
Even the sound of my own footsteps is so quiet that it was tantalizing. I heightened my perception, and successfully traced a faint amount of scalding flesh, which smel

Conscious Conscience Chapter 13: Black And White
Liliana has been constantly following me since earlier. Is she really serious about helping me complete that quest, I hardly even know any information about it? I mean she's an NPC right shouldn't she give me at least some hints, although she seems to be unbounded by any role. Judging from her clothes, a monochromatic black Mesh Cut-out Top, partnered with black Cycling Shorts underneath a short Draped Skirt, Chunky Boots, and distinct Gothic Lace Choker, she seems to be a free-spirited rich lady. I don't see any significance about her role in this apocalyptic society, should I ask her about it? But if I did, she might think I'm entertaining her request to accompany me. "Ah, it doesn't matter anyway," I said and decided to remain walkin
Conscious Conscience Chapter 14: Thrift Spender
I stood up from the bed and looked at the clock, "That was a nice nap…" I said to myself and did my daily stretching routine. I sweated a good amount and went straight to the bath. Ivana and Liliana have already returned to their usual outfit. The white shirt was elegantly folded on the dining table while the black shirt was trashed on the sofa like some kind of unused rug. "Tsh!" I tittered, as I think how oppositely different the two of them are. I tried not to mind it, and just entered the bath like usual. The warm shower is best after a morning workout.
Conscious Conscience Chapter 15: Distress Call
"Hmm… Mr. Dante!" I said and felt delighted to see him. "I heard the news that you were able to survive a quest that was ranked S-tier, I still can’t believe it, although you've changed a lot that I almost didn't recognize you. I was kinda embarrassed at his statement since Mr. Dante was the vice-commander of Deathly Hallows, a famous group composed mostly of A-tier challengers. He tried to recruit me once as a runner during their raid, only that the commander opposed it so it didn't actually happen. I also wanted to refuse that time since I'm afraid that I might die in an A-tier quest. Although I was quite happy since he was one of the first people who didn't judge my abilities just because of my tier-g
Conscious Conscience Chapter 16: Let's All Play
When can you say that a game can no longer be played? When you finally defeated the boss? Perhaps when an unfixable bug suddenly crashed the game? Or is it when you already lost interest in it? Whatever the reason, whenever I played a game I was always serious. * * * It was during that day when I could finally go back to school after recovering from a car accident when I subsequently saved a cat. Of course, Mom was overjoyed to see me getting discharged a week after the incident. Right now, seeing myself in my uniform seems odd, just a week ago I was a helpless kid with long hair wearing a vandalized arm cast. "Azr
Conscious Conscience Chapter 17: The Birth Of Challengers Association
For a week, the world government verified that Challengers that played Evangelion are the only ones who could kill the monsters, although the reason behind it was unknown. Suddenly a month after the first rupture, training schools had been built to train challengers, aged 5 to 18 to teach them combat and survival skills, as well as to familiarize them with the system. The use of glasses was also replaced by contact lenses to help in mobility, since there are reports that Challengers with outdated glasses break during intense fights, causing a lot of quest accidents. At first the old version of the "Iris Lens" system only allowed a few features, so many tech companies are focusing on developing a more advanced second version. I recently found out that they will be using holographic and spatial dimension technology research by studying the rupture. &n
Conscious Conscience Chapter 18: I Survived
"Azriel, someone came to visit!" 'I don't want to go' That was what came to my mind as I heard the words of the NPC monitoring me. After all, I caused a huge commotion during the first Promotional Exam when I was able to outsmart the testing area after using the crystallized essence of holy energy gathered in an A-tier quest to be ranked A-tier in holy power, with the money I got I was able to buy it in an localized auction. Of course I was properly re-evaluated and came to realize I was an F-tier, lower than the lowest expected tier-grade which was E-tier. In comparison, F-tier is no different than a normal human, while E-tier is within human peak level. I covered myself with a blanket as a w
Conscious Conscience Chapter 19: When It Became Flesh
Monsters of different forms exited the crack in space, luckily for now the smaller, and weaker monsters were the only ones who escaped. Of course, we would find it rather scary to face a bigger monster all of a sudden, although we were already screwed since that only means that far stronger monsters are waiting for us on the other side. "Uhm, excuse me, Mr. Iliac…." The Association NPC called my attention, "Are you sure, it was ok not to wear any protective equipment!?" "…." I purposely paused, and studied the mood for a bit before returning my gaze back at her, "I'm going to be fine since I'm the strongest F-tier in the world," I meant
Conscious Conscience Chapter 20: Spirits
The day is about to end and the NPC's are wrapping up the situation, as announcements are now being broadcast in the area that the rupture has been managed. "Oh, look at the time… well as much as we wanted to chat, we have a lot of things going on since we are busy subjugating a quest, but thankfully we met here," Vanessa said. "You see, we've been planning to give this to Big Bro as thanks for all your guidance back in training school and at the guild," Latina said and gave me a green mint colored ring. "That is a Qilin Artifact, it might not be much but we thought you would like it's skill <AirWalk> and <Guardianship>," Janella continued. "The <AirWalk> sk
