《Danimal》Chapter 28: Trust
Advertisement
Dahn releases the door handle and draws two conclusions; the first is that the door and the room is made of a material that serves to nullify the Essence. The other is that there is an artifact capable of doing that.
What Dahn does not know is there is a third possibility, that some race or person is capable of this.
Dahn thinks for a while, trying to figure out how to avoid being affected by this anomaly, releases his Essence, and concentrates it in his right hand, and hits the door causing it to break and go inside the room.
Dahn: "Eva?"
Eva: "I am here."
Dhan: "What do you know about objects or materials capable of nullifying the essence."
Eva: "I don't have any data about it" "But according to my data, there can be some race or people able to accomplish this."
The door enters with a single shot at the end of the room, and at that moment, it feels like a vast emptiness is present.
Morl: "Impressive strength of our guest, don't you think?" - With his tongue out while licking Shanna in the cheek.
Dahn can finally see what is behind the door; he can observe and hear Morl that due to his physical characteristics comes from the Khulzan race. The last time Dahn faced one, he had several problems due to the poison they possessed.
Seeing that the tongue of Morl is creeping on Shanna, Dahn loses control.
The Essence released by Dahn is so strong that several of the crew begin to lose consciousness; others feel weak.
When Morl feels Dahn's murderous aura, he also releases his Essence. He increases the area of his poison, whose only function is to nullify the Essence as long as the level of the Essence of his enemy is lower.

Dahn: "The last time I fought a Khulzan was a bit frustrating" "I will not make that mistake again."
Morl: "Good, then you know we are not the same" - His smile is more evil and sadistic.
If this fight had happened a few years ago, the result would have been different; Dahn remembers everything he has learned and is entirely sure of his victory.
Dhan sends a nanorobot to Shanna to make sure she is still alive, because of Morl power Dahn could not measure Shanna's Essence.
Eva: "Dahn" "I'm sorry, Shanna has been dead for two days."
While hearing those words, the environment gets wrapped in darkness, the walls around Dahn begin to break, Dahn who has his head looking at the floor looks up with tears in his eyes and looks directly at Morl.
The crew in the ship falls to the ground, unconscious and some dead.
Dahn: "Who is responsible for her death" "I do not know why I ask that to you" "Maybe I am clinging to the hope that something good will come out of your mouth" "Who captured her?"
Morl: "You thin..."
Dahn, in the blink of an eye, positions himself behind Morl and covers his mouth with his left hand.
Dahn: "All I need from you is the name of the one who captured her" "But I also know your race is not to be trusted." "So, I am done wasting my time."
Dahn, with his right-hand, goes through Morl's back, breaking his spine, lungs, and in turn, takes out Morl's heart.
He approaches Shanna and releases her, with tears on his face carries her on his arms and teleports to the clinic.
Dahn: "Eva, find out everything you can about what happened to her and this ship" - The anger and sadness in his voice is heartbreaking.

Karin manages to see Dahn leaving the clinic, and without knowing what just happened, she approaches him. By doing so, her body stops automatically and falls to the floor, unconscious.
Dahn completely ignores Karin's body; right now, he only feels pain and anger and decides to take a flight away from the capital without direction or destination.
Several hours go by, Karin regains consciousness, even though she is dizzy she stands up and asks Eva if she knows what happened since she doesn't remember very well what happened, Eva despite being present doesn't answer. - She is not allowed to speak to her.
Karin begins to regain memory of what happened, looks up at the sky and realizes the ship is still there, smiles, looks around, and manages to get to the command post, goes in and tries to establish communication with the ship.
Karin sits down in a chair in front of a computer and begins to access the ship's system; her typing speed is incredible; it is obvious Karin has good knowledge about hacking. In a few minutes, she already has access to the entire ship, which Eva uses to get information as well.
While Karin is looking for information, she realizes that Eva doesn't have a high level of hacking, which she uses to her advantage.
Karin allows Eva to do what she wants but at the same time, keeps Eva at a distance, so she doesn't know what she is looking for.
Karin: 'Shit' 'I didn't think the guy was so strong' 'It doesn't matter, the plan is the same' 'If I'm not mistaken here is my next instruction' - Get a folder named "Love."
Karin: 'Let's see' 'WHAT' - Her face tights up a little bit.
Karin opens the folder and reads to herself - 'Subject can be easily manipulated with love' 'Make him trust you, and you will not have any problem' 'Do everything you can to gain his trust' 'IMPORTANT: if the subject doesn't trust you, RUN' 'Essence of the subject has no limits so far.'
Karin reads everything in detail and then creates a virus, so it erases the mission files and any trace of her. She turns to help Eva in finding information about who they are and what they were doing here - Karin knows the only purpose of them going there was to give her more information about her mission.
Karin manages to get what she was looking for without any problem. She tells Eva that she has been able to collect information that Dahn may consider vital for him.
Before finishing hacking, Karin leaves an encrypted message for the Red Star Alliance - 'lok kdeh ksdje jkksd'
Eva: "Dahn" "I think Karin is not trustworthy."

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Violent Solutions
By the 27th century mankind has long since been wiped out by its own creations and warlike nature. What remains of the Earth is fought over by the creations of the last human civilizations, biological and technological alike. Deep in the jungles of South America, an infiltration android is recalled to its base to be decommissioned, its function no longer required by its commander. As its "life" ends, its final thought is speculation about what it will experience if it is never activated again. Its next thought is confusion. A voice speaks to it, offering it a new mission. Its purpose is to serve, and so it accepts, even though it has its reservations. The voice offers assurances, the mission will be a success. In an unknown year, in an unknown place, a man awakens naked on a beach. He has a strange appearance, matched by an even stranger mind. Having memories of a previous life, an unknown landmark, and a task, he sets out to complete his work. The unusual freedom and lack of structure given in his newest mission is an oddity, but no barrier to success. Should he encounter problems, he knows how to solve them. He is an expert in violence and—when approached correctly—all problems have violent solutions. Updates Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 8PM Eastern Standard Time. Currently only posted on Royal Road.

Verdant Heart Seed - A Reverend Insanity fan-fiction
Back in the Late Antiquity Era, the protagonist meets his untimely demise. But Heaven and Earth always leaves a way out, his new cultivation journey begins anew on the path of reclaiming his former strength and defying Fate.---This is a story about a native cultivator of the Gu world. He lived in the era of/before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable (two venerable eras before the main RI plot). He suffered the rise of the demon venerable, barely able to make his arrangements before his death. He manages to rebirth, but doesn't everything go as planned. The story starts off in an isolated small word (grotto heaven), until the MC can grow and reclaim his former glory, before surpassing it. (long way, he was already rank 8 before) The MC has a pragmatic worldview, aligned with what you would expect from someone living hundreds of years in that kind of hostile environment. He doesn't shy away from immoral acts if it benefits him. The MC bears close resemblance to Fang Yuan in this regard, but his goal is not eternal life.One of my aims was to showcase the later introduced cultivation rules into the mortal cultivation (dao marks, attainment etc.) and explore novel scenarios within this highly technical cultivation environment.
