《Bastion Of Heroes》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Seth felt himself being forcefully dragged away from the arena. As he was still trying to recover from the sudden brightness, he was caught completely unaware. All he could do was grip the hand that held his shirt and try to free himself in midair. The hand that grabbed his shirt was covered in a leather glove and was not releasing him, no matter what he did.
Seth had even imbue chi into his punches. What had sent King Kong flying had no effect on his kidnapper. The person didn’t show any signs of being hit and just kept moving.
“Good try, but save your energy,” the culprit said over the whistling of the wind as he moved by jumping from one building to the next. After jumping pass several buildings, the tiger mask person threw Seth onto a empty roof.
Seth landed on his feet and took some distance from the tiger mask stranger. He crouched low, prepared for whatever the person responsible for their current location. Seth took in everything at once. They were quite a distance away from where the Rooftop Challenge took place, and their current roof was empty. This meant that there was no one he could ask for help.
Light from the moon illuminated the roof. While still dark, it was enough for Seth to follow the movements of his kidnapper.
“Don’t try escaping. You look like a smart boy, or at least that what it seems like from the way you fight. The only way you’re getting out of here is if I let you,” stated the Tiger masked stranger.
“Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” asked Seth.
“Who I am isn’t important, but I suppose if you must call me something, then Mr... White would do. Now for the second question. Why have I bought you here? Let just say that after observing your fight with King Kong, I am very interested in those techniques you employed and wish to personally experience them myself. Needless to say, your participation in this matter is mandatory. “

“Why didn’t you grab King Kong then? He’s the reigning champion? I’m a newcomer to the Rooftop Challenge, King Kong would have been the better choice if you wish to personally test skilled fighters? If you asked, I'm sure he wouldn’t turn you down.”
“I watched King Kong fight and I wasn’t impressed. His fights are... flashy, but I didn’t see anything impressive. He has a standard awakened strengthening ability and is quite good at using it. Otherwise, he would not have become champion, but that’s all. You on the other hand, fought him to a standstill with just skills alone. I don’t recognize that style of fighting and I have seen quite a bit. “
Seth deliberated his options. His first instinct was to run away, but as Mr. White had stated, retreating would be difficult. His instincts told him the man standing in front of him was strong, and the words he spoke were all the truth. If Seth tried to escape, Mr. White would come down on him, hard. HIs only option was to go along with the man’s word and hope that he would make it through the night.
As Seth observed Mr. White, he realized something was off. It was the mask Mr. White was wearing, or rather the one he wasn’t wearing.
“That’s not a mask, is it?” Seth asks for confirmation. “That’s your actual face, isn’t it? You’re a demi-human?”
Demi-humans were Awaken with animal features. They share the same characteristics of the animal they awaken to. Some people could transform into the animal themselves, while others could only partially transform. Mr. White was in a current state of partial transformation. What Seth thought had been a white tiger mask had been the actual face all along.
This only seem to make things worse. If Mr. White’s abilities were related to a tiger, then that would explain why Seth had such a hard time escaping his grip earlier. Tigers were one of the top animals of the food chain. They were deadly predators and powerful animals.

“Like I said, smart boy,” said Mr. White. “Sadly, there are no prizes for you here. Now do I need to force you to fight, or will you do that yourself? Or you can try to escape? We can play the game of cat and mouse, but you won’t get very far. Either way I'm curious on what you will do.”
As Seth was thinking about choices, he noticed a figure bounded their way. Compared to Mr. White, this person’s movement was slower and much more rough. Their arrival generated a large impact sound on landing with cracks appearing on the landing spot. The mysterious arrival was wearing a gorilla mask.
“I don’t know who the hell you think you are, but no one decks me and get away with it!” yelled King Kong and then moved on to punch Mr. White in the face.

"I'm Screwed" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story uses the system derived by Puddles4263 in Randidly Ghosthound. I've incorporates the Path's system into the leveling of this story. Some of the beginning paths will be similar or the same as I thought that the starting paths were very logical on how a system should start. The stories will be completely different as the characters and story arcs will be completely different. Again, thank you Puddles for allowing me to use your system, really appreciate it! I also wanted to thank ProFound Magician. Has a lot of insight into a story development and as his system is based on Ghosthound, I saw a some beginning stage skills that should be thought of in a character just starting out. If you haven't yet read Ghosthound or Genesis System you're in for a real treat when you do! Thank you both I hope my use is seen as an homage in the beginning. Hopefully my story can live up to the system.

Words I Left Unsaid
"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face."This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.Ranks -#3 in poem#3 in poembook#8 in poetry collection #7 in sadpoems#6 in poemcollection #7 in wisdom #15 in poetic
