The Rise Of A Porter Chapter 62

"YOU BAST*RD! YOU BETRAYED ME!" Noah bellowed and pointed his fingers at Jake. "The guild as well as the organisation spent an enormous amount of money and resources on you and raised you to be a strong warrior, and yet you BETRAYED US!"
'What's up with this loyalty complex? I guess he really has some psychological issues.' Arnold thought, 'These idiots keep stabbing each other in the back and yet they expect others to be loyal? Feels like we're doing a favor to the world by getting rid of them and their guild.'
At this moment a man standing behind the President walked in front if them. He had a wide face, a small nose, and puffy lips. His hazel eyes were almond-shaped and had thick eyebrows. His curly, dark brown hair was neatly tied in a bun. He had broad shoulders, long arms, a slender torso with well defined muscles, wide hips, and short legs, he kind of looked like a dwarf on steroids.
He was Cole, and had known Jake from his first day in the guild as he was a reserve member of the A team, meaning he was at rank B. His loyalty to the guild and Jake was absolute as he had made it up to the guild because of Jake. He knew it was impossible that Jake would ever betray the guild or the President.
"I'm sure captain wouldn't do that!" Started to speak, "His loyalty to the guilt is absolute! Captain please-"
Bang!
A bloody hole appeared on the man's forehead his eyes were opened wide in hatred for fraction of a second, then they turned lifeless as he collapsed on the floor.
"You guys are really dense aren't you?" Arnold sighed, white smoke came out of his gun, "Well, since you're gonna die either way, should I tell you why Jake is on our side? Nah, you should die in suspense."

"Don't get cocky YOU BRAT! We aren't going down so easily!" Noah roared as a blinding red light suddenly appeared behind him and flowed into his body. The next moment, Noah was completely surrounded by violent bolts of lightning. "If nothing else I'm taking you DOWN WITH ME."
Noah knew there was no escape for them anymore, it was either kill or be killed, thus he decided to at least take down the person who was responsible for blunder, along with him, and charged at Arnold, ignoring everyone else present in the room. The red electrical force flowed into his arms, he was a moment away from slamming down Arnold when Johnny appeared between them and stopped Noah's attack with a punch if his own.
"Why don't you fight me instead?" Johnny smiled as he let go of Noah's arm and the fight between the brawlers began. Thunderous fists were flying left and right, Noah was desperately trying his best to match-up to Johnny's agility but it was clear that Johnny was out of Noah's league, after all Johnny was a SS ranked warrior while Noah was a S+ ranked warrior. They were moving and attacking each other at such a high speed that their afterimage started to form and follow them. Arnold was barely able to see what was happening in front is his eyes.
John tried to jump over them and aid Noah in his fight with Johnny, but Kolt intervened and stopped him from doing so. Soon they were engaged in combat as well.
An all out fight broke out between the two parties. Aydan didn't need to hold back his ear piercing voice as members of the Black Family were equipped with special noise cancellation ear buds. So he shrieked loudly but it looked like the enemies were prepared for his attack as only 5-6 people were affected by his attack.

There were only 20 or so enemies inside the room, while there were five of them along with 24 or so Arnold's summons, but the room was already crowded and Arnold couldn't call out anymore of his summons. Since the space inside the room was limited, Arnold decided to use his domain again.

'Tsk, sometimes you're really a pain in the-'
"What are you spacing out for? We're not here to some get together. Just hurry up and do something!" Azyriah shouted as she used her abilities to attack couple of A team members. "Weren't you the one who wanted to kill them, in the first place? What did you said?... oh yes, 'I'm gonna kill everyone in the room!' If so then why are you just standing there for?"
"You talk too much, you know that right?" Arnold said in annoyed tone. He prepared to attack the enemies in front of him, but someone attacked him before he could do that.
With two heavy blows, Arnold was sent flying. His legs hit the ground with a loud thud, and the metal flooring was actually dented by him.

As the message flashed in front of Arnold's eyes, he angrily looked at the one who attacked him.
"What kind of monstrosity is this thing?" Arnold mumbled when he saw the half human half beast that was standing in front of him.
The 'man-beast' had legs of a cheetah-like beast, his arms were like that of a minotaur, he had a tail of a reptilian monster while his face human face was filled with scars and burn marks. Even though the man had changed so much, Arnold could never forget the aura which was oozing out of the man-beast.
"It's you, isn't it?" Arnold asked as he got up in his feet.
"Oh so you remember me after all. I thought I'll have to reintroduce myself." The man-beast smiled.
"Of course, how can i forget your bad breath. Gosh, it even got worse with time." Arnold exaggerated and covered his nose, "What the hell happened to you, I never thought your breath could get any worse. Do me a favor and don't talk while we fight okay, Mr bad breath Bob?"
"Y...You F*CKING BAST*RD." Bob roared and charged at Arnold.

Cosmic Plague
In this world, everyone is cursed with a single fate: Become the most powerful. But those who do become powerful, they hate it. Power is misery and death is the solace. လလလ Nazar, a weapon of mass destruction created by the ancient God of Destruction revolted against his creator a long time ago. While he did defeat his creator, the power he was given is still within him. He is cursed with infinite power, standing at the top of the celestial hierarchy. He has more power and wealth than he needs. But even then, he craves one thing; death. He wants to die. Power is misery and death is the solace, but he cannot achieve his only goal. He cannot die. Perhaps that will change when one day, an ancient cosmic Goddess rises from her grave? Perhaps she will finally kill him? Or will she fall short before his awesome yet terrible power? Only time will tell. This is a high cosmic story about the hypocritical life of the protagonist and how it affects everyone (and everything) around him. Naturally, it features very overpowered characters with a lot of high stakes battles roaming across the cosmos. Warning: Swearing, some suggestive sexual gestures/words, gore. Feedback is highly welcomed. (The story was originally named, God's Return, but I wanted to change it.)

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
