Myer stopped the group’s forward movement and knelt by the first corpse. His pale skeletal-like hand lightly touched the pooled blood, realizing it was still warm, which signified the men hadn’t been dead for long. Then, standing up and narrowing his eyes, he surveyed his surroundings. In the surrounding cells, aside from the most immediate cells, where every child was unconscious, the children all went silent as his gaze fell on them. They knew who the man was; he was practically the grim reaper. Myer…

Back in the City of Lawton, Cinyah and Rikard were nervously pacing around their living room, surrounded by Local Law enforcement officials. Every person in the room had a solemn look as they watched the two nervous parents pacing back and forth; it had to be known that neither Rikard nor Cinyah was to be considered a no-name Citizen. Aside from the fact, they were both C Rank Reavers, Rikard came from a strong background. The Jetlensr bloodline was considered one of the top upper-class families. In…

Brance stayed silent as he stood back up and held up a small brass ring. Looking curiously at the ring in his bother’s hand, the synapses in Cynrik’s brain began to link up at lightspeed. Recognizing what the ring was, Cynrik instantly got up and started moving from corpse to corpse collecting similar rings. Of course, they weren’t all the same color as the one Brance had, but each one had the same function. He had overlooked a simple fact and was mentally beating himself up for it each time he…

Giving the command, the brothers emerged from their positions and fell upon the targets nearest to them with a burst of speed. Even though several dozens of feet had opened up between them and their targets, Cynrik and Brance’s AGI stats propelled them quickly to their destination. Hidden by his ShadowVeil, Cynrik slammed down his arms, extending both hidden blades simultaneously, and kicked off the ground taking to the air a couple of meters behind his opponents. Hurtling through the air silently, his…

Grinning ear to ear, Cynrik drew both blades simultaneously with one fluid motion. SunFlare glided across his body in a smooth arc while ISS slid smoothly out of its sheath and pointed up into the air before slashing down. At the same time, Cynrik cut through the air with his left hand, flipping the blade palm down before making his wrists meet at the same point in an X. The fancy sword draw took less than a second to complete and even though Brance had seen these motions countless times in his past life,…

Brance was silent for a moment as he used Inspect on the two gem-like Mana Codexes in Cynrik’s palm. – Tier 0 Mana Codex – Psychic Affinity. – – Tier 0 Mana Codex – Earth Affinity. – Cynrik broke Brance’s focus by asking about how to use the two Mana Codexes. – Acquired Mana Codexes have two primary uses – – First, they can be absorbed to add Proficiency to the Host’s existing Mana Codex; the amount gained will be determined by the Tier of the external Codex and the Tier of…

Standing in place obediently, outside of the van, and waiting for their kidnapper’s instructions, Cynrik and Brance caught the faint sounds of crying drifting in the air. He had already spotted a group of over a dozen children roughly the same age as himself not far from them. Still, he chose to overlook it entirely as he couldn’t be bothered by their existence and only saw them as a hindrance for his XP farming. Brance, on the other hand, was struck by sudden rage as his eyes finally acclimated to…

While Cynrik and Brance were trying to figure out how far away they had gone, the kidnappers finally spoke up. “Gal, we’re almost there. Wake the kids up and put the hoods on them.” A second voice spoke up a few seconds later, “The hell? I canceled my Psyonic Nightmare; they should have woken up instantly.” “AYE, WHAT THE HELL, GAL, YOU DIDN’T KILL THEM, DID YOU!” The first kidnapper screamed angrily at the man ironically nicknamed Gal. Hearing the two of them start panicking. Cynrik…

“I won’t ask what’s going on, only how much you have on you, kid,” Saylin caught on to the fact that the customer was in some situation and needed equipment for some desperate reason. Even though he was known as a shrewd businessman, this young man had netted him a lot of money off their last transaction, but this alone wouldn’t have spurred him to help out the person standing in front of him. But, just like the last time they met, Saylin had an inexplainable feeling that he MUST help out this…

After the disappearance of Benny and Gabby Sanford, the news media exploded once again; their disappearances weren’t the only ones in the city, as another six children also were abducted the same day, confirming the initial speculations that Cynrik had made. If he were to follow the Modus Operandi that this group of kidnappers had followed up until now, then in 6 weeks, the bodies of Benny and Gabby would appear in a public location, severely malnourished and mutilated. Back on Earth, Cynrik was…
