A full day had passed since the fight between the two ancient beasts, and out of that battle, Daniel had understood one thing. He needed to increase his individual power. During the past few years he had challenged, taunted, threatened and fought people with a stronger power than his, but that had to stop. The more his group grew, the more people started to depend on his person to survive, the more he needed to become as strong of a pillar as he could. That was why, he needed to cultivate.…-

The moment the surface level of the lake stopped rising, Daniel found himself at double of the depth he was previously in. He was about to swim back to the surface, when a sudden motion of the water forcibly dragged him left and right. Unfortunately, his view was now completely obscured, as light could not reach the lakebed anymore. He quickly swam upwards, and the closer he got to the surface, the more he could feel the motion of the waters, and the clear signs of it being controlled by a living being.…

Daniel stood in the middle of the platform in complete silence. Around him, his companions were standing as well, while floating on the surface of the dark body of water, was the ancient red carp which had just spectated to Daniel’s method of producing this so called ’antidote’. Floating all around the platform, were exactly thirty-six pills of the size of a nail. Their color was dull and they appeared extremely unimpressive to most, but not to Daniel. He knew what effect these pills could bring…

"Let’s go." Said Jerigh in a low voice, before walking towards the entrance of the mess hall. When looking at Jerigh’s back, which quietly got further and further away with time, Cynna felt some form of unwillingness build up in her mind. She was a prodigious warrior, and she couldn’t stand the idea of losing to someone whom she couldn’t even put a name on. "You are just going to leave without even telling me who you are? Nor give me the chance to look for you, and pay you back for this…

"Do you have any idea of who we are? Your company is doomed." Said one of the enraged platinum-badged students. His eyes were opened wide in shock, as he looked at the various gold-badged students crawling on the ground, crying over their broken limbs, or covering the injured parts with their hands. Despite not being a chatty person, Jerigh was not stupid by any means. He was fully aware that each of these student’s companies were more powerful than Daniel’s, so, he had never planned to go all out…

"What do you say? Do we have a deal?" Asked Daniel with a calm and casual tone. He was looking at the red carp as if it didn’t matter if it accepted the deal or not, and in fact, it didn’t. Daniel wouldn’t want to kill the carp even if he could, as the red carp was a good-willed being. Therefore, if he couldn’t obtain what he needed through trade, he would try his luck elsewhere. "Very well." Responded the red carp before starting to vibrate in place, and forcing three red scales to detach…

The red carp answered to Heimart’s words with silence, which after no more than two minutes, was interrupted by the its deep and pleasant voice, which simply said "I refuse." Such response did not come to the group’s surprise, after all, they had come to visit a very old and powerful beast with whom they had had no previous contact, to propose an exchange for a part of the beast’s very own body. In their opinion, it would have been crazy if the red carp would have accepted, but despite the…

"If you want to survive, crawl into the water.." Said the red carp with his usual pleasantly deep voice. Heimart and Roley looked at each other with worry and uncertainty, while Jerigh slowly grabbed the hilts of his swords in preparation for a fight. Der, which was the most powerful amongst them, was the first one to to notice what was approaching them at a mind boggling speed. What he saw, was a large bird-like beast. Without thinking twice about it, Der grabbed Heimart and Roley by their…

"A purple puffer fish.. I have heard that they taste great." said Daniel to a smiling Alana. That was the first time that Daniel had met Alana, and yet, he had already understood what type of person she was. If not for the big red number that floated above her head, just for the reaction that Serf had showed when Alana had moved her hand towards his. Daniel was not aware of what Serf’s family knew or what they suspected. So, he decided to avoid telling the full truth. For all he knew, there might…

Night town, two thousand kilometers from the capital. Built at the feet of a mountain, and around the territory of a solitary family, Night town was placed at the crossing point between four of the most important cities within the region. It housed thousands of people, and despite the lack of walls and governmental authority, it was one of the safest places in the entire planet. Untouched by bandits, and beast tribes ever since it had been founded. This relatively small town was mostly filled with…
