[Savage Land, Antarctica]
"Where the hell is it?" a man screamed completely enraged while looking at his underlings. Looking at their superior's enraged expression, all of them cowered in fear and took a step back.
"Don't be so barbaric with your men... After all, it isn't their fault that the metal is gone..." an older looking man scoffed from the side. The man looked like a noble and while the whole drama was going on he was simply sipping tea with a peaceful look on his face... like everything was fine.
The whole group might look like humans but they weren't humans. Their blue skin along with white markings on their bodies were the biggest clues. When the first man heard the older man's words he growled out loud in anger.
"It is me who will have to answer to his majesty!!" the first man said while gritting his teeth. The old man snorted with disdain and took a sip from his cup.
"Hah... As if a half-breed bastard would ever be our King" the old man snorted in disdain. Such words would have already earned him a death sentence but most soldiers stood exactly where they were and some even nodded their heads in agreement.
"You know, I should be executing you right now for such words" the first man said in a neutral tone. All of his anger was completely gone now...
"But you wouldn't... After all, you also loathe that half-breed bastard" the old man nodded with a smile on his face. The first didn't refute and simply stared towards the horizon.
"And that is why I don't want to disappoint that filth... I would be belittled in front of that filthy mongrel!! Sometimes... I wonder if it would have been better to kill that filth and go to prison as a traitor..." the first man said with a saddened look on his face.
"If you are to succeed then you would be treated as a Hero... Not a traitor. After all, he is the King only because he is the only one who can wield the Trident" the old man said and continued sipping his tea. The first man's face soured when he heard that.
"He had sullied our King's Trident with his dirty blood... Sometimes I wonder if Neptune is punishing us for some sin or not..." the first man said while looking at his soldiers. All of his soldiers nodded their heads in complete agreement.
"Sometimes I also wonder the same thing, my friend..." the old man said and threw away his tea in anger.
"But it can't be denied that we needed Vibranium B so that we can fight against those filthy surface dwellers... If this continues then our home would be soon filled with their trash" the old man said in a cold tone.
"...If we use the sensors then we would be able to get an approximate location... Though I find it really hard to believe that someone was able to take every ounce of that metal with them... I really can't imagine that a filthy surface dweller was responsible for this..." the first man said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"But none of us have taken the metal, so it must have been those savages" the old man said coldly while nodding his head.
"Let's go back... We can't do anything from here since the metal is already gone... Let's hope that the sensor is able to find the metal..." the first man said and ordered his men to gather everything since they didn't have anything more to do here... The old man simply sat down and poured himself another cup of tea...
[Midland Circle Financial, New York]
"So, Bakuto how did the mission go?" Murakami asked with a sneer on his face. He was annoyed once again because he had to be here for the meeting.
"The assassination attempt was a success but I still haven't received the confirmation" Bakuto said with a smile on his face. The rest of the members inside the room frowned after they heard Bakuto's statement.
"How do you know that the assassination attempt was successful but you don't know if she had died or not?" Murakami asked with a frown on his face.
"That's because I paid someone to plant a bomb in her car... I received the report that the bomb went off in the morning but everything has been silent since then..." Bakuto said and smiled proudly. He was pretty sure that he succeeded.
"Bakuto, there is no way that our organization is going to be connected to this incident, right?" Reid asked neutrally.
"We won't be having a problem with that... After all, Nemuri Kayama herself made our job easier with zero surveillance in her private parking lot..." Bakuto said and Reid nodded her head in understanding. Even though she looked worried, in truth she wasn't even worried because if something happened then she would happily throw Bakuto under the bus.
"If that's all, then I will be on my way. A new group of prostitutes is coming tonight..." Murakami said with an evil grin on his face and got up from his seat, once again disregarding Alexandra Reid's authority. But before he could even take a step... The room's door exploded throwing everyone towards the other side of the table.
"Honey~, I think that you used too much power" a man's voice was heard from the other side of the door.
"Ah... Yes. I was kind of excited you know" a woman said and giggled. A couple finally entered the room and looked around. The man waved his hand and conjured a marble slab where the door has been.
The people who were inside the room finally pulled themselves up from the floor and saw the newcomers. All of their faces paled and their bodies became weak when their eyes landed on the man. There was no one on the planet who didn't know who this man was...
"Leviathan..." Reid stuttered out in complete fear.
"Ah... So, you know me... I am really flattered but you see I am not the one you should be worried about right now... After all, it wasn't my car you blew up" the man they recognized as Leviathan or Itsuki Reo said with a sweet smile on his face.

When Reo's words finally registered inside their mind, their eyes landed on the woman who came along with Reo. "Kayama!!" Bakuto yelled in anger but Sowande grabbed him before he could act because Sowande knew they shouldn't fool around in front of someone like Leviathan.
After all, killing all four of them would be a child's play for Leviathan... Reid cursed her luck. She cursed her own stupidity... She should have seen it sooner... But Nemuri Kayama had never shown any sign that she was involved with someone like Leviathan.
Murakami simply wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it. He might be a thrill-seeker but he wasn't a death-seeker. He cursed his luck as soon as Leviathan appeared, there was very little chance that he would be able to leave this place alive but he would still try.
"How are you alive?" Bakuto asked coolly but he was still glaring daggers at Nemuri who was still grinning.
"Heh... Like something like a pesky bomb could kill me... but the same can't be said about your students though... Slaughtering them made me feel really good..." Nemuri purred and after hearing Nemuri's words, Bakuto wasn't able to hold back and lunged at Nemuri after freeing himself from Sowande's grip.
For Bakuto his students were the most precious thing to him and when Nemuri confessed about killing them, his mind was immediately filled with rage. "Crucio" Nemuri said in a bored tone while pointing her finger towards Bakuto. Bakuto dropped to the floor and started to scream out his lungs while he was thrashing around in pain.
The remaining three members of the Hand looked at Bakuto with horrified looks etched on their faces. One word... Nemuri Kayama needed one word to make a person like Bakuto scream like that... What kind of Power was this?? A part of their minds wanted them to find out about it but all of them knew that the situation wasn't favorable for them... They didn't even know if they would be able to get out with their lives or not.
Nemuri finally stopped the spell and Bakuto's screams stopped. He started to roll on the floor because of the residual pain. Nemuri calmly leaned beside Bakuto. "You see, you might have failed to kill me with the bomb... But you have hurt me with that more than you think... You blew up my car and ruined my tuxedo, both are crimes which are punishable by death..." Nemuri said sweetly and once again Crucioed Bakuto.
The other three didn't know what to say after they heard Nemuri's words. She was doing this because he blew up her car and destroyed her clothes?? Murakami finally decided to make his move.
"I was wondering if we could strike a deal..." Murakami started to say but before he could finish, Nemuri uttered the same words and he also dropped to the ground screaming out his lungs. Murakami was feeling unimaginable pain coursing through his body... he felt his whole body was on fire while getting torn to pieces at the same time...
When Nemuri Crucioed Murakami, Bakuto finally got some time to take a breather but he was still in too much pain to do anything. "There will be no deal and no escape... After all, I am just starting" Nemuri said with a vicious grin on her face and a butcher knife of ice formed in her hand.
[POV Reo]
Five hours have passed since Nemuri started to torture them. I simply stood beside where the door was and watched the whole scene from the corner of my eyes. After Nemuri stopped Crucioing Murakami, she bound all of them magically and hung them up upside down.
With a wave of her hand, all of them were now only in their underwear. I had to remind Nemuri to get their memories... So, Nemuri used Legilimency on Alexandra Reid... when Nemuri was finally done with her, Reid's brain was dripping on the floor from her ears. I asked Nemuri if I should turn back time and bring her back but she denied saying that she still had three more pigs to skin.
So Alexandra Reid got off easily. After that, Nemuri plucked out their eyes and started to skin them by order. She started with Sowande... This time she was very careful not wanting to kill any one of them by accident. Unfortunately, Sowande died after an hour due to blood loss.
Then Nemuri started to skin Murakami... this time Nemuri's technique was much more refined and she succeeded in skinning him completely while he was still alive but he also died after a minute.
After that, she finally arrived in front of Bakuto. She wanted to refine her technique before she started with Bakuto. Even though all of them made the decision of killing her together, she was enraged with Bakuto the most because he blew up her car and burned her tuxedo.
When Nemuri was finally done with Bakuto he was still alive but he was completely broken now... He was alive until Nemuri started removing organs from his body. "Satisfied now??" I asked Nemuri while I pulled her into my arms. She nodded her head meekly and cuddled in my arms.
"Yeah... That felt really nice..." Nemuri purred and snaked her arms around my neck.
"I would give her 6 out of 10... She was good but she could improve a lot more..." an unknown feminine voice rang throughout the room and I found myself along with Nemuri in an unknown place...

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
