Creed did not go inside the glitch for an entire week, more like he couldn't.  The day Hannah was discharged, Creed sneaked out to the Glitch the next morning because of the mentorship program. Just as expected, she was furious about it. This time, however, when she found out he was home, she did not let him go. Whether it was fake fever, help in homework, shopping for her imaginary friend Lily, or even death threats, she used every excuse in her arsenal to prevent him from leaving. Furthermore, she even forced him to cook every single meal for the entire week. Creed's cooking skills were pretty good, and now she could now eat homemade meals. She had no intention of letting him go this easy. In fact, Creed had to promise that he would stay for one entire week. H

Soon, he changed into some comfortable clothes. However, this time he saw his watch blinking deep blues. A sentence hovered above the watch that said : [Phoenix War Queen has sent you a message]His eyebrows immediately jumped at the sudden mechanical alert. Though he was a bit dizzy right now, the notification filled his stomach with a nest of butterflies.He immediately snapped his fingers to expand the text message. His eyes fidgeted in their sockets as he read her message.[Hello Mr. Damaged, Long time no see. Been so busy that I almost forgot about the remaining rounds. Let me know if you are available today. I might be able to sneak some time out of my schedule.]Creed read it and immediately cheered up. Although

"Check and mate!"Creed jumped up in the air to dodge at the last moment with his saber.A vindictive grin plastered on her face. Altogether, the strike changed direction and bolted straight at his gut. War Queen's heart fluttered into paradise as she could finally see the opening.The blade was just a couple of centimeters away. However, a faint voice bubbled up in her ears. His body was still in the air, but his calm and dull voice invaded her ears like a sharp shriek."Now I understand why your family calls it 'Hollow Strikes'...."The moment she heard his faint voice, the blood in her veins went cold. Her smile sewed shut as she tried to understand what he meant. The beads of sweat grew bigger on her forehead, as if she s

Bhu-lok public shelter; Inside a lavish restaurant sat a pale-skinned youth dressed in a formal suit, presentable enough.Although this was a restaurant, by the looks of people sitting, drinking, and chattering in clusters, it seemed more like a lavish tavern. Immaculate tableware, hygienic environment, utility bots serving the customers with their orders, It was far from the image of a traditional chaotic tavern.He noticed that, if not all, most of the customers inside were seniors and adults. Out of all the people present inside, he was the youngest. Although there was no written sign, this restaurant was a gathering place for adult hunters.This was again reaffirmed by the fact when the waiter, who came to ask for his order, lightly frowned at his choice of soft beverage and not the hard one.

Creed couldn't directly peek at her because she was standing behind him. All he could do was take a quick peek at her and pull his gaze away. His perception told him that even if she was not directly looking at him, he was still under her peripheral gaze.Creed immediately hypothesized a simulation where he made a sudden hostile move. He realized that he wouldn't survive even half of those hypothetical scenarios. 'She is good!' Even though she looked petite and thin, he could sense a coldness oozing out of her. For some reason, Creed felt a sense of threat bursting out of her rhythm.He also understood that, although it wasn't at his level, her perception was still decent enough. This fact confused him even
