As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the partly devastated area where the left was a giant gully and the right was a lush forest with strange black-colored trees, Dante stood at the center calmly, ready to embark on his first practice of the Advanced Knight Realm chapter of the Primal Ape Technique. This particular realm focused on harnessing and extending one's life essence outside the body more adeptly, using it for offense, defense, and support. It was a realm of…-

It glanced at Dante and felt that he was more… vivid. It was as if it had been looking at a very realistic painting of him and was now watching a video of him; he was much more 'high resolution.' It also felt like Dante was more… vulnerable. It was like if it killed him before, it would only be like taking out a mirage, but if it attacked and won now, it would actually take out this fellow for good. However, despite this, the Golden Ape trembled even more. It was simply unable to even fathom the…

"Don't worry, I have a very simple task for you. Eat this fruit and let's see what happens," Dante prompted the Golden Ape as he took out the Thunderstorm fruit, a merger of wind and lightning. The Golden Ape was stunned and looked between Dante and the lightning fruit repeatedly, as if making sure it wasn't mistaking the situation. Wasn't this one of the fruits that it was fighting for just now? It had already reconciled with the idea that it wouldn't get any fruits this session after Dante came and…

The first one was a fruit that resembled a miniature sun, radiating intense heat and light. Its skin was a fiery red-orange, and tiny flames danced across its surface. It was likely that anyone who consumed this fruit gained the power to create and control fire in bursts, erupting with flames in a spectacular display of pyrotechnics. The second one was a fruit that was like a swirling vortex frozen in time. Its exterior was a deep shade of indigo, and a perpetual miniature storm with miniature bolts of…

He glanced at the monsters he had just mauled, all of them adorned with a golden color somewhere on their bodies. He then glanced at the golden tree that sparkled with a strange color, and he reached out to grab the fruit on it. To Dante's surprise, the fruit actually avoided his grasp! It wasn't that it got up and moved, but it seemed that the wind had shifted it slightly, and made it quickly leave his reach. This made him raise an eyebrow as he analyzed the tree once more and had a guess in his…

And he easily got it. There were no hidden surprises nor sudden plot twists, he just plucked the fruit from the tree, and nothing seemed to change about the fruit or the tree. This made him sigh with relief and remember that Xue Bing had told him that students could bring the fruit out and hand it to their factions. If the fruit deteriorated rapidly, then how could students take it out after 30 days and then hand it to their factions, who were now going to fight internally and deliberate as to who was…

In the heart of Seattle, in a cozy apartment overlooking the bustling city streets, there lived a man named Dante. He was a kind and gentle soul who had always found solace in the companionship of animals. Among the many pets he had cared for over the years, there was one who held a special place in his heart, a little cat named Whiskers. From the moment Dante brought Whiskers home, a tiny ball of fur barely old enough to open her eyes, a profound connection was forged between them. Whiskers…

You see, this was obvious enough to most people, but it was a fact that beasts thought differently from humans. There were elements of treachery and deception in them, yes, but that was a trait limited by species. All species were influenced by their instincts first of all, whether they thought so or not. Even humans were often influenced by instincts but draped fancy words and philosophies over it in order to seem enlightened. It was the same for beasts. Unless they were like hyenas or foxes who…

Superpowers. They were the thing that formed the subtle driving force of the Eternal universe, and in some ways, even the home universe. People of both universes sought them and craved them, though less than a zillionth of a decimal point percentage of both universes could have them. In a wide universe with numbers so large that even a powerful AI forced to do a census would break down, the number of superpowered users might not be more than 20,000. Of that small number, many would never cross the…

At his current speed, Dante had already crossed more than 300,000 kilometers while running for just about 4 hours. Yet, despite this, he did not see an end to the forest he was in, nor did he reach the end of the world. This confused Dante as he stopped, his body smoking and releasing waves of heat that caused distortions in the air. This had nothing to do with his hellfire but from the heat he had built up traveling at such speeds with no real barrier around him except his skin. He panted slightly,…
