《Devour》Chapter 17: Surprise
Advertisement
Staff members of Hell School clean up the mess while the remaining thirty-eight students in the arena didn't need to fight since the judges can evaluate the remaining students' rank. This decision put Dino to 1st, Aera to 2nd, Mickey to 3rd, Kiba to 6th, and Jio to 38th since he didn't do anything but stay with his group from start to finish.
Everyone exits the colosseum, and most people talk about the best fight they watched today. The story that people talk about the most is Aera's shooting star moment since it's beautiful, like a falling angel from heaven to punishes demons on this unforgiving world.
Dying is common in this world.
Jio's group starts walking outside the school when two hooded and masked men by the gate stop them while releasing a colossal pressure towards the group that puts them on high alert.
"Who are you two?" Dino asks the two while he covers the group just in case they attack them.
Knowing that the Blood Moon Cult was behind the auction incident, the group is prepared to fight, but when the two remove their hood and mask, Jio realizes that his parents come here to watch and visit him.
"Ma, pa! Didn't know you two are here!" Jio said in surprise while the rest bow with respect.
The pressure that the couple releases in front of them imprinted fear in their heart, and they did not know what or who they are dealing with.
"That was a great fight, everyone, and little buddy, your Pa is so proud of you where you did the best course of action," Mr. De Vil complements the group, especially Jio.
"You could have beat everyone, Peanut, but I told you not to get so much attention, so it's okay, I guess... 38th my ass! Anyways anyone hungry?" Mrs. De Vil asks while everyone nods.

They went to a fancy restaurant in the city. This building is usually booked and needs reservations one month in advance, but they are the only ones eating that surprise Aera.
"Peanut, why don't you introduce your friend to us?" Mrs. De Vil requests as she smiles
"My sworn brothers and sister?" asks Jio.
"Well, yes, silly, and thank you for supporting my Peanut also in the future. Hopefully, you guys answer his call," The group doesn't understand what Mrs. De Vil said, but they agree with her nonetheless.
"Well, the Blood Tribe is Dino Strong, Kiba Dragon son of Gil Dragon, Aera Midas, and Mickey Chenn," Jio introduces his sworn brothers and sister one by one.
"Kiba, can you say my regards to your father when your father visits you? Tell him greetings from the number one," Mr. De Vil let out, looking in Kiba's direction.
"Will do, Mr. de Vil," Kiba replies and tries to remember if his father mentioned the De Vil Family at least once in the past.
"Blood Tribe? Midas Family? The Dragon? and Chenn? Not bad, Peanut, you already find strong friends! I'm so proud of you," Mrs. De Vil happily said.
"Excuse me, Mrs. De Vil, do you know anyone in the Chenn family?" Mickey quickly asks after he heard his last name.
"Oh! Not me, but the four eyes do," Mrs. De Vil looks at her husband.
"Yes, you see, your great-great-grandfather is my lighting Master," Mr. De Vil said while five inches lighting golem starts to form on the floor that surprises the group since this type of control only belongs to a Lighting Magus.

The ranking system only tells how a magician can successfully control the magic around them.

Mr. De Vil continues, "It looks like your the successor of the Thunderbolt but be careful now, Mickey, since Zuor the Thunder God, a lighting Spirit is looking for that necklace."
Mickey didn't know about the Thunder God and looked at Mr. De Vil confused but believes since his great-great-grandfather mentions the name Zuor before he dies.
"The lighting thief... So it's true," Kiba said as he remembers his father told a story about Zuor and his lightning bolt.
"Mr. And Mrs. De Vil, how come you reserve the whole building, and how come I never heard your family name before?" Aera already tried to rent this particular restaurant once and failed.
"Well, that's because we're from the other continent, and the owner insists since we save his life before," Mr. De Vil answers truthfully.
"There are four continents in this world separated by water; two habitual lands and two arctic tundras were only the strong survive," Mrs. De Vil let out and continue, "The sea current and the seawater beasts destroy ship who tried to sail the two great waters. The reason only a few people know about this information."
As the night goes by, the owner insists they stay while offering the group one room for each person to rest and prepare everything, including the warm bath.
Alone with his parents, Jio tells about the Blood Moon Cult and the school's rampaging beast incident that surprise his parents. They already investigated the Blood Moon Cult a year ago and might be planning big, like the saying "The calm before the storm."

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

Hush | on hold
"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."

Find a way back home? Or stay and change the flow of time? A little note here; this story is a bit rushed. Considered that it is old and I have little time to revise the story whole. But unless you dont mind it and decided to just read it for the sakes out of it, then be my guest... Not in a offending way obviously.
