After the party, Jake dropped him back to planet Zerg. Creed was still dressed up in a suit and he wanted so change to his normal clothes. He went back home and tiptoed quietly around the house to avoid waking his mom as it was already early morning, then he changed back to his casual clothes.
Creed realized that things like parties are not really his style. Entire-time during the party, he felt self-conscious around so many people. He looked at the clock, both the needles pointed near 6, it was already morning. He wanted to get some sleep since he was still a little shaky after traveling through hyper gates for the very first time back and forth.
He went back to his room and took a 2-hour nap. It was already past 8 am; he made breakfast for his mom. Another fact that Creed was an excellent cook; he learned to cook in school as a hobby and found he had a knack for it, so today he planned to surprise his mom by making her breakfast.
"I really love it when you coo
Inside an enormous villa, just below a massive chandelier, a gracious dining table was glimmering. Baskets were full of exquisite and rare fruits. Dishes, glasses, and plates arranged in such a gracious arrangement even the symmetry itself would blush. A person in a black blazer was standing beside the table. He appeared like a designated conductor of an orchestra, except he wasn't one. He kept looking at his watch until it vibrated.The next moment a bald man with a distinguishable gray beard and blue track-suit, who appeared to be in his 50s, came towards the dining table. The butler came close to the main-chair and graciously pulled it backward for this man."Good Morning Master Collins.""Morning! where is Jake?" He sat and tucked a napkin in his collar. "Call him.""Master Jake is still in his room, sir," The Butler informed his employer. "He and others will be here for breakfast soon."The bald person was no other but Jake's grandfather, Auth
A petite girl with a face as delicate as cotton and mesmerizing bangs came out from the teleportation gate in a gorgeous pantsuit. Her looks were enough to get the undivided attention of many young ones nearby. This girl appeared to just 16 or 17 years old. A man approached her and shook hands with her."Hello, Miss Jia!" Bernard greeted her as she came out from the teleportation gate."I have already made the arrangements, please follow me!""Listen, Bernard ... I am not coming with you, just give me a map or something!" Jia had curiousness written all over her face. She kept gazing at nearby buildings. "I've already convinced my dad to cancel every arrangement regarding the bodyguards! I am going to explore this place alone now...""Hmm... Mister Liang never informed me anything about this!" Bernard looked at her with a smile. He wasn't that easy to fool. "Sorry Miss Jia, but we need to abide by the rules your father has set.""Tch, pest!" She clicked he
"Miss Jia, we have a problem!" Bonnie woke her up. "We need to go right now!""What? What happened?" Jia's facial expression turned grim. "Did some beast attacked?""We have no time to explain," Bonnie interjected and suggested to not waste any time. "Pack your bags, we need to leave this place..."Jia couldn't back her curiosity and bolted out of the tent and saw a strange scene, a pair of hideous legs that were pinned in the ground. They weren't dead and kept moving, twitching and convulsing violently. The hideous nature of the beast churned their stomach upside down.She almost puked after seeing the shape and appearance of the pair of legs, they were the very definition of gross. Though they looked like human legs, the green and red puss flowing out of stabbed feet told her it wasn't."WHAT THE HELL?" Jia turned at them. "What is all this?""Why haven't you packed yet, Miss Jia!" Frankie shouted and hinted to her not to waste time. "Just
Creed didn't stop, he kept climbing branch by branch. "I have to hold back, it's not dad! pull yourself together, man."~MY BOY, LOOK AT ME~"twinkle, twinkle little star... how I wonder what u are..." Creed kept mumbling while ignoring the tempting voice behind his back. He didn't stop once as if wanted to muffle the voice coming from his back. "12 sevens are 84, 12 eights are 96, 12 nines are 108, 12 tens are—"~MY BOY, I REALLY MISS YOU~"Fuck!! I swear to god..." Creed bit his own lips to keep himself conscious. "I will burn down this forest one day if you don't stop that shit..."Creed was struggling for some unknown reason. He wanted to look back, but he knew he must never do that. Creed had already read about the Necrosis Forest in Glitch Forum, so he knew what was going on with him. Necrosis Forest was one of the most notorious places in the Glitch. The atmosphere inside the Forest was very creepy.Hallucinations, visions, and
Her bright face had several traces of dirt, and her pupils were still rattling behind the closed eyelids. She had messed up hair and dirt on her face, but her lips were surprisingly clean with a pick shade. Jia Ning looked extremely innocent while sleeping.While others were focused on making breakfast, Jia was still snoozing under a tent. Her facial expression kept changing as if she was having a nightmare. Though facial muscles relaxed gradually and a lingering scent of warm food jolted an awareness inside her. Soon enough, she woke up sniffing a sweet aroma."What—" Jia opened her eyes quickly and jerked her head to turn around. "Where am I?"She quickly walked out of the tent and noticed some familiar faces around her. All of them were having breakfast near a burning bonfire in broad daylight, on top of which a poorly constructed earthen pot was bubbling and simmering with an appetizing aroma."Good morning, Miss Jia," Frankie greeted her as soo
"What kind of godly precision is that?" Varun was a little surprised after seeing his brother blown away. "And when did she put the bombs inside her mouth? Or did she--""She had it inside her mouth the whole time!" Grisha smiled while looking toward the arena. "A sneaky trick and an impressive execution!"
Inside a dark passage, Jia and Creed were walking with dimly lit glow sticks. They didn't know if they were walking on the right path or not. The path was extremely quiet, they could hear only their steps in the swamp. Desolate darkness and the awful smell of rotten carcasses filled the passage.The events under the lost tomb in the 'Cursed-valley' again didn't come out in Jia's favor. She and Creed were with the group but now they got separated from the entire group. Earlier when she was exploring the tomb with the entire group and they all had reached a very peculiar room in the tomb.Everything was fine, they were hunting some easy beasts until a giant spider attacked them out of nowhere. Even with his giant frame, the spider wasn't that much of a danger to the group. But the situation turned grim suddenly when it pushed Jia inside a large dark hole in the ground. The spider attacked her she lost her balance and fell inside.After Jia fell inside
"Wow!! this Mayhem Saber looks very cool." Creed mumbled as he peeked inside his mind palace. "I wonder how powerful this is..."He had killed the Mayhem-Sealcroc and was quite happy with his gains. Jia was still on his back, sleeping, while he was dragging himself in the shallow waters of the tunnel. Her face had a dark complexion hinting her tiredness. The encounter with Sealcroc had made her loose her entire strength.Creed was frustrated too because they have been walking non-stop in the abyss for around 20 hours now. There was no end to this place. He felt as if they stuck in the dark passage for a very long time. His legs were also reaching their limits.For everyone, Chakra was limited and its activation was just a quick power-up. Chakra activation was not an acceptable solution for situations like this. After opening his root Chakra, his body was much stronger than the average human, this was his only advantage that he had. Still, his mind was reac
