《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
Unaware of what was happening behind, Rean's group arrived at the Azure Hyenas Territory. Of course, since they entered the inner region, they began to find Stage Two Demon Beasts. There was even one that forced Rean and Roan to flee. It was a Demon Dark Eagle, a Stage Two that had the power of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The twins covered the back while Diakar and Opril ran ahead while carrying Malaka. With the twins' teamwork, they were able to hold back until the Eagle finally gave up. Sometime later, they met again with the others and continued their journey.
However, once they entered the Azure Hyenas Territory, they stopped seeing any other Demon Beast. It was evident that the other demon beasts didn't want to get close to this place.
"Now then, where will we find that Spiritual Azure Flower?"
Roan pondered a bit before saying.
"Since Sister Orb gave this mission that can increase the authority level, it shouldn't be simple. It is most likely located in a place where those Hyenas would be watching all the time."
Rean agreed with Roan. The twins then looked at Diakar and Opril before telling their plan.
"Alright. As you can see, no other demon beasts are coming close to these Hyenas territory. In that case, you three should stay hidden here. Roan and I are going ahead to try to get the Azure Spiritual Flower."
Diakar wanted to say something, but Roan stopped him.
"Be it you, Opril, or Malaka, you will only get in our way. It will be easier to hide if it is only the two of us. Not to mention that if we are discovered, it will be much easier to flee if we don't need to worry about you three. Don't forget, Rean and I came here to train ourselves, so we have to do it alone."

Although it was hard to accept it, Diakar and Opril knew that they were speaking the truth. Considering the level of danger in this place, there isn't much the two of them could do.
Malaka wanted to follow them too, but Dikar held her back. In the end, she could only give up.
After finding a place to hide, Rean and Roan left the group behind and ventured deeper inside the Azure Hyenas Territory.
It didn't take long to find a few groups of them. The twins quickly hid and looked as they passed. They paid particular attention to a larger group that had a much bigger Hyena walking in the front. It was obviously much stronger than the ones following it.
"It seems like that the Azure Hyena leader isn't the only Stage Two demon beast here. The one walking in the front is most likely a Stage Two as well. It's just that it should not be a peak Stage Two. How should we deal with it?"
Rean then suggested.
"We first have to find the Azure Flower. Only then can we think about a plan. Anyway, the best one would still be to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so we might try it after ascertaining the situation."
Roan agreed with him, and they continued to sneak into the Hyenas territory.
Finally, they got close to a big lake in the center. Several Hyenas could be seen on the other side. But not only that, Rean and Roan could also see several blue-colored flowers by the lakeshore. Surprisingly, they could feel the presence of Water Element being drawn into them.
"I see, these Hyenas are using those flowers to gather Water Element into their bodies. No wonder they are all living beside them. However, our 'lure the tiger out of the mountain' plan won't work like this. There are at least fifty Azure Hyenas there. Even if one of us gets their attention, there is no way all of them will follow."

Rean pondered a bit and then got an idea.
"What about approaching through the lake? We would appear right beside the flowers. Also, it doesn't look like those Hyenas are a type of aquatic Demon Beast. We could jump straight into the lake once more after we grab at least one flower."
Suddenly, the water beside the flowers started to move. From inside, an Azure Hyena began to walk out with some fish on its mouth. It didn't look like the water on its body bothered it at all.
Roan looked at Rean after that.
"You were saying?"
"Cough, cough. I didn't say anything. I was just thinking out loud."
"Anyway. Entering the water will be certain death. We need to approach through the ground."
The twins looked at each other and sighed.
"It seems like we can only do that."
"Indeed."
"Let's wait for night time to come, it will be easier for us to move like that. Quite a few of them will be sleeping as well."
"Yes. But we can't forget our smell. Let's move to the borders of their territory and kill one of the Hyenas' groups. The outside groups don't have Stage Two between them, so it shouldn't be hard to do so. We can wear their skins to disguise our own smell after that."
They quickly agreed on a plan and put it to practice. Once Rean and Roan were far enough from the center, they looked for a group of those Hyenas. It didn't take long to find one, though. This group also didn't have any Stage Two in the middle and only had five members.
The twins didn't waste time and appeared right in front of them while raising their swords. As soon as the Hyenas saw the two kids, they immediately attacked too. This is their territory, and any demon beast that entered would be dealt with straight away.
Unfortunately, it was Rena and Roan that they were against. Without a single Stage Two in their ranks, they were doomed to fail.
'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'
That was a wide range attack that Roan developed. With the two of them attacking together and their Spiritual Swords, the Hyena's group was immediately cleaved in half! The difference in combat power was just too high.

That’s not where our story takes place though, instead we look to space, where humans have taken up residence among the stars. Living in huge industrial space stations, life is a bore. Dull daily routines are broken only by extravagant fashion, music, and other means of self expression. Also, of course, the lifeblood of the stations- games. Four months ago, humanity was contacted by the first ever known alien life forms. These aliens, calling themselves the Erta offered their designs and schematics for their True Virtual Reality (TVR) console, as well as access to their game in exchange for peace.

Now, after scientists have finally confirmed the console to be safe for humans, the game is to finally be released to the public. This comes to the joy of most of the population, but a small portion of them can't help but be upset. As thousands of the researchers meant to be developing virtual reality, are fired overnight. Meet Brian Reed, one of these newly unemployed workers. Now, join Brian as he explores the very game that was the death of his job. And watch as he learns that the game is not quite what it seems.

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.
