《Tamer of Cosmic Beasts 》Chapter 108: Next Day
Advertisement
The day passed quickly into the next one. Akash was in front of the TV, watching the anchor speak on the news.
"Breaking News! The mayor of Rosehill City was found dead at his rented room in Slave City. He had gone with two young talents to participate in the 3rd tier tournament but lost. Maybe he committed suicide after seeing such a one-sided loss? Additionally, we've also been informed that all the male administrators and workers in a Rosehill City orphanage were killed seemingly out of nowhere.. Are these deaths only a coincident or is there something more to it? To discuss it, I have invited Rosehill City's mayor's son. So what exactly happe..."
~PIIZZYYU~
Akash turned off the television, he was wearing expensive and well-made clothes.
"Thank you, Mr. Akash."
A faint and pleasant voice came from his side. Akash pivoted his face and saw that Mehak was standing at the door.
"Hmm, for what?"
Akash acted none the wiser.
"Nothing…"
Mehak didn't press further instead she smiled with watery eyes and went back into her room. In turn, Akash was still there amazed.
"This woman, why can't I guess her answers?"
"Wait."
Akash said to her. By that time, she was already in her room, so she popped her head back out and asked.
"Do you need something?"
"No, go and see your sister."
Akash said without looking at her. Mehak gasped, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. She asked again to confirm.
"Did you say my sister is here?"
"Yes, she is in that room."
Akash said and signaled her towards a specific room as Mehak gradually went towards it. She touched the slightly open door and moved it further, wherein she saw a young girl sleeping peacefully. She had a dark skin tone and beautiful short brown hair.

Mehak immediately covered her face with both her hands, the dam of her eyes broke and brought forth a surge of tears.
In a moment, she turned back to thank Akash again, but the handsome hunk was no longer there. He had already gone out and noticed his 5 lords waiting for him. He looked at Riassuba and nodded in approval before the latter bowed in response.
Akash had ordered Riassuba to take care of the orphanage. After the God Assassin searched and couldn't find anything special that needed his personal involvement, he instructed his subordinates to do the work instead, remaining at his king's side. Led by Neon Riassuba and Shehneel Shodo, Death Gate fulfilled Akash's orders.
Together, all of them went to the stadium and waited for the fight to start. While there, a youth caught Akash's attention as he stared at him, and that person stared back. It seemed as if that youth was keeping an eye on him after to the events in the first day of the tournament. That person made a death sign while looking at Akash, the king squinted his eyes and muttered
"Measly fool."
That young man understood what he said through reading his lips and replied similarly.
"We will see."
Akash opened his profile.
[Name: Miono Randi
Realm: 3rd Moon, 5th Star
Aptitude: Upper-High Grade
Learnt Laws: Martial Law, Wind Law
Inborn Laws: Fire Law (Awakened) ]
Akash was impressed by his aptitude but was displeased with his attitude. A little ways away from Miono stood a man that exuded intelligence and poise. He had a katana around his waist as his face portrayed a clam demeanor. However, it didn't feel just like any calm, but rather one before a terrifying storm was unleashed.
He looked at his fellow tamer Miono with a side-eye and instructed him.

"Stop it."
"Haha, come on, Olaf. Let me tease this guy that's been called the dark horse before he's even proven himself."
Miono insisted.
The calm guy looked at Akash and as the king felt his gaze, he looked back at him. Their eyes met and there was no sign of disrespect, Akash also understood that Olaf was no ordinary tamer. As for Olaf, he was quite shocked. He felt strangely intimidated by Akash Tagar as feelings of death and terror rose up in him. Yet, Olaf's impressively controlled his expression, not allowing anyone to witness his inner turmoil. As such, he only revealed his admiration as he had grasped that Akash deserved the title of the dark horse before touching his sword.
"Don't be mistaken, Miono. This man only made this tournament more interesting, we will show him our powers."
Akash sensed an evil aura from that sword and opened the profile of this youth.
[ Name: Olaf Adcon
Realm: 3rd Moon, 5th Star
Aptitude: Medium-Legendary Grade
Learnt Laws: Martial Law, Wind Law, Blood Law
Inborn Laws: Divine Law (Awakened), Evil Law (Awakened) ]
Akash was shocked as he stared at the man with widened eyes.
"That's a talent that only comes along once in a million years in the whole cosmos. He doesn't look old as well. I would've never thought there would be humans of such caliber."
At that very moment, Akash decided to recruit him into Ancestor Law Enforcement at any cost. After which, he asked Haji Tea.
"Which team is that?"
Haji looked and replied.
"My Liege, that is one of the cities with a high chance of winning. They are called by the name of Ancholi City and they are our neighbours."
"Neighbours?"
Akash asked to confirm again.
"Yes, My Liege. They are from our district, but were disqualified in the semi-finals from the last tournament."
Haji Tea replied before Akash pointed at the youth in their team and asked.
"Who is that guy with the sword?"
Haji squinted his eyes and replied after a while.
"I believe that's Olaf."
Akash looked at him with an annoyed face and spoke.
"Will you honour me with the details, Lord Haji?"
"Oh, haha, I'm sorry, My Liege. He is the adopted son of the mayor, a genius from a young age. He and his sword were the cause behind Ancholi City's spot in the semi-finals, but the mayor forfeited. He didn't want him to face those true monsters there. But it has been three years already since then. The current Olaf is many times stronger than he was before."

8 206WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...
8 78Persona Non Grata
After the events of Dr. Jose Rizal's second novel "El Filibusterismo", the story follows the tale of the former students Basilio and Isagani in the aftermath of the failed assassination plot against the most powerful governing political figures in the Delos Santos residence. Now a licensed doctor and a tenured businessman, Basilio and Isagani returns to the Philippines after their 10-year venture in Spain and in the United States to spearhead a large-scale project for the Spanish crown. For the first time in the history of the country, the Spanish government has allowed Indios to pioneer major public works, and the Filipinos, seeing this as major milestone of their race, welcomed it cheering and with open arms. It was also during that same year when the new Captain-General was appointed to the Philippines following the scandal involving the outgoing Captain-General, who sent an entire battalion of Indio conscripts to be deliberately slaughtered by a gang of tulisanes led by a man going by the name 'Matanglawin' (Falcon-eye). Leonardo Montes, the incoming Captain-General, was both feared and loved by his subjects. A close friend of the king and reputed for upholding honor, discipline and goodwill among his subjects, he won the confidence of the Cortes and of the Filipino people when political unrest arose during the tenure of his predecessor when he represented the Philippines in the high courts and won the case. However, Montes, now at the early days of his tenure, is faced with a huge and pressing problem: the widespread opium trade in the Philippines. Chinese immigration to the Philippines has increased at an exponential rate since his predecessor came to power and so is the circulation of the substance within the country. And to make matters worse, strange cases of killings and abductions began to terrorize the country, with the motives of the culprit unknown...
