Advertisement
We were met with the same groupies from the adventurer's guild. they were armed, armored, and full of confidence. there were about ten of them.
"Hey! you George! stay away from Catherine!" [Angry Adventurer]
"Yeah! you fat son of a b*tch!" [Angry Adventurer]
"Master, please let us take care of this." [Rigil]
"Go. but don't kill them." [Henry]
I will only show a little bit of mercy, and not kill them. Elgir and Rigil walked up infront of me.
"Move it you sh*t!" [Angry Adventurer]
"I cannot allow that." [Rigil]
"Then die!" [Angry Adventurer]
One of the groupies charged forward, while his blade in formation of a swing. he was somewhat skilled, since it was a heavy sword, and he swung it horizontally. Rigil jumped, while Elgir was showing of, and did the matrix thing. and Rigil, like on of those anime or manga, he hit the groupie in the neck, knocking him unconscious.
"You sh*t!" [Angry Adventurer]
Then all of them charged forward. racing against time, we had to end this battle quickly.
"Move aside." [Henry]
"Yes." [Rigil]

‘Skill acquired: [Knockout]’
‘[Knockout] has leveled up from LVL :1 to LVL :MAX’
I pointed my palm to the charging group, then i activate it.
Then all at once, they fell on the ground. this would look so cool right now if it weren't for my physique.
"Than was amazing master!" [Elgir]
"Amazing indeed." [Rigil]
"Yeah, yeah, let's go!" [Henry]
I really want to go to her house. i was never really invited to, i guess anything. it's kind of sad now. well the past is the past.
We stepped over the bodies, and went to the direction of Catherine's house, i saw her waving her hand to us, all happy and excited. but no one told me she was poor.

I mean she's really poor. like "house breaking down" poor. please let me help you Catherine. please, i don't want you to struggle.
"Here is my home." [Catherine]
"Can i please just say one thing?" [Henry]
"What is it?" [Catherine]
"Let me help you." [Henry]
"What?" [Catherine]
"Financially." [Henry]
"Oh! no. this isn't my house, the one next door is." [Catherine]
Next door was a very average house. the outside looks decent, it was normal.
"Oh! sorry." [Henry]
"Well, it is my fault for stopping here." [Catherine]
We entered the house, and it has decent furniture, cooking station, a stair case, and a living room, but all of it is medieval.
We sat down in the living room, and i struck up a conversation.
"Can i help you with your debt?" [Henry]
"Who told you that?" [Catherine]
"You're groupie kept saying it when you walked towards me. " [Henry]
"You don't need to." [Catherine]
"I want to." [Henry]
"I can pay it." [Catherine]
"It's a hundred gold coins, And the hardest S class mission reward is only 2 gold. how are you going to pay?" [Henry]
"One by one." [Catherine]
"Let me just help you." [Henry]
"..." [Catherine]
I grabbed my bag and inside was a something like a smaller bag. i then placed both my hands inside. and i used [Code].
giveHenryBlack 150 Gold Coins |
All the gold coins spawned inside the bag. i grabbed it and gave it to Catherine. oh, and 150 because of the interest. if their was no interest, she would be free of this debt by now.
"This is a big bag." [Catherine]
"How did you get this?" [Catherine]
"... Secret." [Henry]
"I guess i'll never know." [Catherine]
"Oh you will, but in time." [Henry]

"Thank you." [Catherine]
"You are most welcome." [Henry]
"Marry me." [Henry]
"No." [Catherine]
"F*ck." [Henry]
Damn it. i thought now i had a chance.
"So... where am i going to sleep?" [Henry]
"You are going to sleep upstairs, and the first door to your left." [Catherine]
"Where's your room?" [Henry]
"The other one." [Catherine]
"Okay." [Henry]
"Elgir, Rigil, you will sleep on the room here." [Catherine]
"Thank you for your kindness." [Elgir & Rigil]
"Oh yeah, who lives here aside from you?" [Henry]
"Why do you think that?" [Catherine]
"The house has a lot of rooms." [Henry]
"My father and mother, but they're both at Jilgo city, going to a meeting." [Catherine]
"I see." [Henry]
"Would you like me to teach you something?" [Henry]
"I don't really think i would need your training." [Catherine]
"Well, sparring with me will improve your endurance, agility, speed, reaction time, str-." [Henry]
"I get it! i get it! i get it!" [Catherine]
When i saw the backyard, it was full of training equipment. heavy objects, poles with rope, a balance beam, an open space for sparing, many tall poles, and a rack full of weapons.
"It seems you already have undergone training. but with whom?" [Henry]
"My father used to be an S Rank adventurer." [Catherine]
"I can see that." [Henry]
"Okay, let's go spar." [Henry]
"Sure." [Catherine]
I entered the area of sparing, and i felt the strikes, the blood, the sweat, of different people, and it's not just Catherine, sparing here.
"To see what is your extent of your abilities, i must first spar with you." [Henry]
"Then, let us begin." [Catherine]
I stood there, no pose, no weapon, just standing. Catherine was puzzled, but then she quickly ignored it.
She slowly approached me, inch by inch, and she was so close, that her sword can probably reach me. then she finally swings. i dodged that swing. then a pierce attack, i ducked. then she threw her sword up in the air. having human curiosity, my eyes followed the sword. it was then she tried to do a technique to me. but i stopped her by grabbing her arms, and stepping on her foot, while still following the sword.
She tried to escape, but my grip was too powerful. so i just let go. she was frustrated of this, and activated [Adrenaline]. She became faster, stronger, and more agile. she grabbed her sword, and swung the sword in many places. she was in front of me, now she's behind, then beside, then above. she's all over. but having the ∞ agility, i dodged them all. but she kept going,and going, and going. is she ever going to stop? i got worried for her, and i caught the sword. she was surprised, but as soon as she stopped, she fainted. why did you do this Catherine?
I picked her up and went back inside. i went upstairs, and went inside her bedroom. it was pink. even if this was the medieval ages, i never thought of seeing pink here. her bed was also pink. and her pillows. well she's a girl.
I placed her on the bed, and it seems that it was only the after effect of the adrenaline for so long. i left her there, and i went to my room. it was quite normal. i lied down on the bed, and just appreciated to finally sleep. and i just drifted away to dream land.

A Warrior's Love (BL)
"Your mind is dark, your eyes are dull, your life is bleaker than feces, and your heart is covered in ash." She removed one hand to keep her veils on her head as the topmost shawl slipped down her neck. She continued to speak, "Your blood is cold. If you remain this way, you will die before you can find your love." The Krasean lowered his veil, revealing his face to us. He tipped his head upward so I can see his honey coloured eyes that were duller than his peoples'. Black eyeliner outlined the rim of his eyes, drawing attention to his enchanting eyes. "Whoever your lover is, they are your other half. You will endure hardships and pain because of them. You will also make them feel the same." She looked conflicted like she did not know whether to tell me this was good or bad. "In their eyes, you are the evilest and the godliest. How contradicting this is!" "Did you slap me?" I held the helmet between the pit of my elbow and my waist. One hand slowly reached up to rub my numb cheek. It has been forever since someone last slapped me. Now, no one who knew my identity would dare to hit me directly. "The blood coursing through your veins, it's hot and dangerous. You cannot be tamed easily and this may be the cause of your downfall." A strange grimace graced her wrinkled face. I swear to the gods she is ageing each second! "I see your fall. Someone with too much power automatically becomes a threat. You're no longer seen as an ally, but a monster."

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
