The humans appeared to have some questions, but as I had told them earlier… there was no need to speak to me. “Now then, since I have explained the rules of this game to you, I will now be releasing you. Run as fast as you can.” As soon as I said this, the tensed face of the humans loosened considerably and they found out their bodies now moved properly. For a few moments, they stood there—dazed. However… “57 seconds left. 56 seconds left. 55 seconds left…” My lips began to curl…-

“You don’t mean us, right? Since we’re spectators. Then…” Lara sharply paused mid-sentence and her eyes bulged. That told me she already figured it out. That’s right… those who would be playing with the human scum I collected were another type of filth. With my voice ringing at the exact moment as Lara, we both gave the same answer. “Demons!” Yes, I planned on making a game similar to the impromptu one back at the Hobgoblin territory. Back then, I released the Gifteds who abandoned…

The way the woman gazed longingly at the ceiling, most likely seeing as the drops of water fell, how she stuck out her tongue out in anticipation of the flow… they were too much for me to resist! ‘I’m not better than this! Not in the slightest!’ My mind rang. There was a risk I could get caught, but was there anything worse than that? Even if it was shameless of me, I was certain Lara would understand! She was a psychiatrist, after all. ‘Beating one’s meat’ was a healthy venture according…

I decided to summon a curtain and used it to make an ultra-thin barrier between Lara and myself. It extended to both sides of the wall, and the linen was thick enough to barely register as transparent. I was safe! Throughout my mental ordeal, Lara was silent. I was certain she was laughing internally at my very innocent nature. It was probably no big deal to someone like her! Pushing those thoughts away from my head, I decided to focus more on why we were in the toilet, to begin with. No more…

The woman gave me a disbelieving gasp and shook her head in disagreement. Her expression told me she would rather die than spend another minute here. The moment I gave her a serious look in an attempt to ask if she truly meant it, her expression dissolved instantly. Well, I could tell she was still very uncomfortable about the whole thing—frankly speaking, I was too. But… “I suppose we could use a makeover.” It was at times like this, not just in combat, that I loved my Gift’s abilities the…

“I know what you’re thinking, Lara. But, do not worry. There is a time for everything…” Just because I left the Camp members to clean up Kevin Smith’s mess didn’t mean they were off the hook forever. Besides, they had lost so much. It was only fair to give them some time to grieve and pull themselves together. “We have other businesses to attend to, you know? The scavengers are a group of collectors with ‘Evil’ Alignments. It’s only fair that they have some supplies and weapons…

In a flash, I was done! None of the people within the Camp noticed my presence, allies and enemies alike. Using my stealth skills in combination with my intense speed, I was practically a ghost that zoomed past the massive structure and got away with tapping every single member of the enemy faction. They got caught in my Gift, vanishing in what would appear to be an instant for normal people. “Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!” The voices of the Camp members echoed in fright The sight of about a dozen enemies…

“… You’re a bit interesting…” I smiled, raiding my head a little to see the terribly massive man. Despite the difference in our height, with me on the receiving end, the effects of my dominance did not change. The giant cowered in fear before me, taking a few steps away from me in response to taking on his attack. Unfortunately for him, his hand had been caught by me, lodged deeply in my right grip… and I had no intention of letting it go! “You’re Kevin, right? The one they call a…

Right there and then, an unbelievable sight unfolded. Even Kevin, with his hand stuck and wrapped in the supposed target’s grip, could understand what he was in for. “So this is the big bad, uh…?” The voice was deep, smooth, and downright intimidating! It belonged to none other than the one who had just arrived. While the ebony-skinned man had to lower his gaze as a result of the individual’s height, it didn’t change the fact that he was completely horrifying. After all, this newcomer had…

Now thinking of the young boy, though, Charles hadn’t seen any signs of him. Curiosity and anticipation coursed through his body as he awaited the glorious entry of the one they owed everything to. It would seem that in his desperation, Charles had forgotten about the death of Ana, and how he would explain her demise to Jeremy. Searching through the group for signs of the boy of interest, the Camp leader was met with surprise, though. ‘He’s… not here…?!’ He counted the number of Gifteds who…
