"What is this?" Lucy frowned when she saw five odd looking balls inside the box. She tried pinching the top part of the brown balls with a forefinger and delighted in its softness. I seemed to break if a heavier force would fall upon it. It was natural and unpleasing to the eyes but her curiosity got the best of her. Food was not meant to be looked at but eaten in full, she determined and prepared for the worst.
"OOHHHHH MYYYYY!" Lucy exclaimed after a ball levitated then dropped into her mouth.
"THIS IS...!!!" she thought while slowly discovering the effects of the seemingly ordinary spherical shaped food she was consuming.
"Soul Essence!" Lucy concluded as four balls followed their counterpart. Ho
"Hahh Hahhh Hahhhh..." the gasping of Tiny Slim was endless while trying to force air into his lungs. He was already face down on the ground after only five minutes of running."Run, Maru! Get away from here now! Go!" Tiny Slim convinced his friend to escape from this place. It was not a good place to be in. Their teacher allowed such discrimination and physical brawls as long as no one died in the skirmish. Their flawed reason was for a den of survivors and not a haven for peaceful learning.“HAHAHA! You can’t get away now, pig!” the group of boys caught up to them. They were almost a dozen of them now while a number of disciples stood outside the commotion and were content on watching the fun.
“Where is the Supreme Elder, Teacher?” Tiny Slim asked after he stood before his teacher. His head was bowed low but that did not stop his eyeballs from its continuous scan of the place. When his eyes connected to his new friend, he couldn’t help but smile in joy. It was nothing but good fortune for both of them that they hadn’t been beaten soft by those mischievous boys. At least, they were saved from punishment now. What Master Gregory would do to them after this, would be a totally different scene altogether.“FOOL!” the teacher roared once more and there was an intense impulse to smack this fat boy’s head but he kept his cool in the end. It was unbecoming of a man of his stature to do that, especially in front of this great character near him. Perhaps he could never even do that away from the knowin
“Why are you alone, Tiny Slim?” Maru asked after the two sat under a huge elm tree and did an instant picnic amidst the lovely garden around them. There was not a single ugly habitation within the sect. Everywhere showed the vitality of the heavens and the earth.“If only Uwyn could see this. HAHAHA! She might never want to leave.” Maru’s thoughts wandered back to his cherished sister.“I am not accepted much by the outer disciples, Maru. They bully me every day and it came to a point that I even want to kill myself to free from the misery that I repeatedly experienced. But when I remembered that I still haven’t seen my parents yet. I knew that I couldn’t die. Until then, I want to live!” Tiny Slim confessed to Maru an
In fact, Maru may indeed be one. Since he’d already tasted the delicious delicacies last night, he doubted that the food served for the outer disciples could compare to the sustenance he was used to already. He could have eaten with Tiny Slim here with the food suited for deities in the possession of Madame Ais but that would be an anticlimactic end for this day. But perhaps the fat boy would think otherwise if he knew of the chance he’d missed. Maru didn’t care.“I know a place, Maru. But that eatery is extremely expensive. Only the elders and the most influential people frequent that eatery.” Tiny Slim replied. He had only seen the place from the outside and has never even stepped a foot inside the establishment but judging from the characters that went in, it was a haven that catered only for the rich and mighty
“Really?! How is that possible, Madame Ais?” Maru’s young mind found it hard to comprehend such facts.“The probability of something possible to happen reaches 100% with enough data, Maru. In the end, nothing is impossible. Only the mind and its limited imagination restricts all life forms in these realms. For even a level 10 cultivator can be destroyed.” Madame Ais uncharacteristically imparted more wisdom than mere information.“…………….” Maru was speechless after that. He dwelled within his thoughts for his future and his family’s.“What’s wrong, Maru? You said you were hungry. Did I order too much?&rdquo
“Right this way, young masters!” The waitress was plainly effervescent and there was a bounce on her steps, seemingly showing her delight for the task that she’d accomplished. The two boys followed the waitress upstairs towards another floor that was very different from where they had eaten. It showed a more delicate touch and the smell of luxury was in the air. There were rooms that were fashioned to accommodate the more valued guests of the eatery in privacy and evident comfort. Of course, this floor would be a tad bit pricey than the one below it.“Wow! We should have eaten here instead, Maru!” Tiny Slim saw the seductive figures of women who were lined up for their guest’s beckon. Although everyone was still a mortal and hadn't cultivated to Essence Gathering Realm, the fact that all were beauties which a
Even beings like Chayene who was only a half-step away from reaching immortality was still chained by this decree as the iron grip of The Blind Goddess was ever tight and unflinching. The Lady would have no problem teaching her a lesson as a warning to those who may follow her transgressions in the future. And after all the pain and suffering ended, The Blind Goddess would then ask for the tortured undying faith as repayment. Chayene seethed inside with rage at their situation. She wanted to explode with her pent up frustrations but in the end, reigned her emotions in check. To do that was nothing short of madness. Chayene breathed in deep.“Thank you for the meal earlier, Supreme Elder Chayene. Since we have nothing more to discuss, we shall take our leave. Farewell.” Maru dist
“WOW! Is that your magical beast, Maru?” Tiny Slim was dumbfounded at what he saw. The draconic creature may not have been at the level of the structures in the vicinity but its diminutive size did not diminish its ferocity one bit. It would even appear that a wave of its sharp claws could destroy these daunted buildings to smithereens. Like a piece of paper in the embrace of flames.“It’s my pet. His name is Ash. This is my new friend Tiny Slim. Please take care of him, Ash.” Maru introduced the two.“SNORT!” Ash replied with distinct wheezes that seem to indicate its displeasure.“HAHAHA! You sure are a picky one, Ash! Don’t worry because when
