Yes, it was a normal day for them, especially to the this guy at the coffee shop who starts his day laying the tables and chair, wiping them clean, preparing the other table covers and flowery vases to the center of the table, as his coworkers are starting to proceed inside the shop and prepare for the another day of serving customers with their fine and scrumptious delicacies, aromatic tea and coffee, and the elegant and professional servicing to the visitors.
After that, he takes a break in the noontime, taking few strolls around the town with his usual attire, he surveying his grounds, collecting various information, meeting new folks as he ventures the beauty of this simplistic yet colorful town, he also visits the slums and discover the same as hell life of people here, this sightings remind him of his life in the past back then, striving to survive and earn his reputation and support and carried other’s arm to achieve a better life
As he walks to the crowded and narrow alleys, he can see the frail faces of people who live there miserably and he can feel the atmosphere of helplessness there, it maybe dark for these kind of living but hope will serve as their light in the darkness.
Without anymore interruption, he start to leap from walls to walls of the high rise building and jump to the rooftops, in there he saw the blue and clear skies, the whole view of the town as his cold blue eyes gazes to the wide array of different size and forms of the building align, as the wind blows through him, he just sigh as he remember the days he strive for justice and hope.
From the bottom point of the building he stands now, he saw a commotion below, to be exact a hostage taking, without any further ado he jump from the highest point of roof top down without consider for his safe fall, as the deep pressuring winds start to hurl to him as his coat start to flutter due to intense breeze, from the point of view below, a man a sharp and deadly blade takes a hostage as he keep forcing the enforcers to move back and other people who might stop him at bay.
“Stay away from me or this f**king noble dies, death to those horrible sharks of this god damn society!” He furiously roars as he tighten his left arm gripping to the hostage in order not to escape easily from his gripping.
For the other enforcers who are finding their way how to subdue the scum without the noble woman being hurt, suddenly a figure falls from above and land successfully near to the two, before the brute can look to the new figure, his knife that being holding with his bare and strong right handd were already gone in an instant.
“I know how much you bare,,, the sufferings of being a poor commoner birth,,, my dear friend but it’s still wrong” a slow voice yet somewhat intimidating.

Before his eyes meet the face of the figure, the figure vanished, he frowns and suddenly he felt his arm gripping suddenly empty and light, and when he look again to his hostage, it’s already gone, so fast and he didn’t notice it at all, he was stunned and shock, as he look to the crowd, seeing the hostage standing behind the guards.
“You should focus on way to improve your life,,, and live contentedly,,, but you choose the rouge way” the voice spokes again and now it’s coming from the young man with a black coat, after that word he vanished into the crowd suddenly.
As the young lad in black coat leaves the area with ease, two female figures is tailing him, he already notice their presence and still continue to walk to staircase and look to the tall houses, when he reach the highest point of the steep floor, he then stop and take a deep breath and release it.
“No need to hide,,, don’t be afraid,,, I’ll take you with a talk” He spoke as he look back and saw two drop dead beauties with an astounding fancy dress standing and facing him eyes to eyes.
The first one was pretty young lady with a light blue hair, golden gullible eyes, little nice lips and pointy nose, she may have a small body but her supple and round chest is protruding and tempting to see, covered by her black dress with numerous silver linings and stitches, she have a pair of stockings with also silver linings, a half arm length black gloves with a decorated brace, her obsidian crystal shoes.

“I am Red Dragon, I see that you are blessed with a very strange power, quiet curios to ask, who are you?” The red buxom lady speak with interrogating notion as she crossed her arms and let her big twin perks rest on it.
“I am me,,, a young man that is lost,,, in the world he never once belong,,, finding his way to survive” He replied with a sad tone as he lowered his head.
“Foreigner?” The midget cut in, as she look to the totally depress young man in black coat.
“Exactly,,, young missy” he said with a lone smile.
“What do you want to play stranger? I’m not here to stand just to hear a sickening words and answers coming from you, answer me! Who are you?” Red Dragon spoke with persistent yet furious tone.
“My name is not important,,, because I’ve live nameless” He answered with a low tone as he walk to the side of the pavement and then look back to the two.
“Then can I address you as sir Blac?” the midget speak again.

“Worry not about me,,, worry about the innocent people,,, they need your help and guide”
The voice resonated to their minds and they felt a sudden chill to their spines as the cold sweat formed into their heads, as the cold wind blows to them all of the sudden, they here suddenly froze for a moment before they gain their composure after so much shocking and surprising felt they have at this moment, where is he? How did he do that? Why we can’t track him? Why?
“Winter Heart of The North, did you heard it?” Red Dragon asks his midget companion.
“Without a doubt yes, I’ve heard it, loud and clear in my mind” Winter Heart of The North replied with deep trance in her mind, it was truly unbelievable, just who is he?
“We must report this Sir Blac, he is more something that meets the eye!” Red Dragon said as she wiped her cold sweat in her forehead.
“Indeed, we must move with haste” Winter Heart of The North answered with furrowed brows as she then still looking at the direction which “Sir Blac” previous standing point before he disappears without a trace.
The two move swiftly and disappears, and from the shadows of the side building, a figure suddenly appears, it was the young lad who labeled by the midget as “Sir Blac”, he just remain in poker face expression and then jump from another roof to venture the whole place, this world is truly strange yet bizarre, there is something more to discover about this unknown dimension he currently venturing.
Earlier, he use blinking steps and perception block to avoid the two and their tracking of him, using psychronic waves to spoke with them to their heads, in order to give them a little fear treat, he make an hororrific aura dissonance to reach their standing point location, making a little swirl of temperature drop and immediate wind breeze.
As the time he return to his way back home, he decided to take a few strolls in the food stands nearby, as he bought one from the food stalls, he saw another group of five outstanding women who have the same aura as the early ones he met, as he walk to the side, these women discussing in particular about the certain events which their group is involve with.
The first one has a fair and nice face, paired of orange lively keen eyes, chestnut brown braided long hair, she’s wearing a white tops with belts covered by a brown trench coat with pockets, a mini white skirt, a brown fur boots, seemingly she is just staring at her open book holding in her right hand, the second one is a majestic lady with crystal blue ponytail, on the top of her head is a decorated blue sailor cap, she is wearing a white tops that covering her twin perks while being overlapped with her blue zippered vest with various gold trimmings, with a blue tight short skirt with gold stitching, white linen stockings and blue glass star light shoes.

He just passed at their side and go to his destined store to buy some few foods for snacks, not giving a second glance, just minding his own business, he then proceed out of the food stalls and mixed along the crowd as he went through them to get home already, but the brown trench coat and belted girl notice him as she closed the book and stop.
“Something wrong Grand Striker?” The Fiery lady notices her friend’s sudden stop and her gaze at their back.
“That guy, the man in black leather coat, Phoenix Goddess, suspicious and foreign” Grand Striker replied as her brows furrowed and her eyes keener as ever.
“I guess so, there are many foreigns coming to every kingdom and land, that’s normal my dear” Phoenix Goddess speak as she patted her friends shoulder.
The two look once again to the back and then proceed to tail their three friends moving forward ahead of them, Grand Striker still suspicious to the young man, as if her body and mind reacts to him, whatever he is, she need to find out about him, as for Phoenix Goddess, she seems notice Grand Striker reactions too, but there are more important things to do than this situation, they leave the food stall areas and disappear to the crowd.

8 148Grin the Cheat
There was a time when heroes roamed between the Four Great Cities. They fought for kingdoms and princesses and they lived and died by their valour. Or so the stories say. The way the minstrels sing it, everyone had a swashbuckling good time. Nowadays, buckles are rarely swashed. All the great beasts have been slain, all the great treasures unearthed. Princesses are few and far between — the ones worth fighting over, anyway — and the kingdoms have been divvied up between the sons of sons of sons of the heroes of old. No valour required. Frankly, the hero business is in a sorry state. Luckily for Grin the Cheat, thieving and murder are thriving as usual. If you have a moment, please vote for this story at Top Web Fiction.

8 172A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
