《Devour》(40) Chapter 8: No one
Advertisement
Alexander decides to get closer to Sierra and swear his loyalty after discovering her "Sleeping Beauty" situation. With the power he luckily acquired, he fears no one and starts training after sending his mother and sister somewhere far and safe.
Tortured by boredom and yearning for Sierra's company, Alexander closes his eyes and tries to picture her face and her gentle smile until he starts to smell her, wondering how it's even possible. As the smell grew stronger, he kept his eyes closed so it wouldn't go away; warm and soft hands covered his eyes from behind.
Alexander had never felt so happy in his life before.
"Guess who?" A soft female voice asks from behind.
"Sierra! Your back! It's like a year," Alexander let out.
"A year? You must have hit your head pretty hard, huh?" Sierra jokes as she checks Alexander's head.
"I'm doing better than my old self! That's thanks to you! I wish I could show you how grateful I am," Alexander sincerely said as he looked at Sierra's eyes.
"It's all good! Just promise me that you stay good," Sierra replies and continues, "You know, you give off the same aura of the person that makes me promise to stay good?"
"Really? Is he or she awesome?" Alexander asks.
"He's the BEST!" Sierra proudly announces and continues, "Do you want to start walking around the forest?"
"With you? Absolutely!" Alexander happily let out.
"That's good. As you can see, it's not just trees everywhere," Sierra said and led the way.
Present-day,
"Sun and Moon, wants to join the fun?" Jio asks the twins, smiling.
"I'm sorry," Sun sadly reply wishing they didn't use all their energy.
"We don't have the energy to fight right now... Looking at the human, Alan...? My brother and I will last around three to five minutes fighting," Moon sadly continues.

"I see," Jio let out and smiled, "You two hold your dagger together, and I'll show you two a trick."
The twins follow Jio's instructions, and they start to sense Eclipse's energy from him, making the twins question Jio's identity even more. With all the energy that Jio absorbed from the previous battle, the twins' body glows and merge into one.
"It works! Not bad," Jio cheerfully let out.
"Wait... You weren't sure about your action?" Eclipse angrily asks, pointing its sword at Jio's face.
"It's a yes, and no answer; a Gecko like yourself will survive if I mess up bad. You know, pointing your sword at me means nothing to me, right?" Jio jokingly answers as he stares at Eclipse.
Jio, the "Master Convincer" and the "Good liar."
"Why not join the fight? I'm sure that man wants someone strong such as you," Jio smiles and asks Eclipse.
"Why not join forces with me instead?" Eclipse suggests.
"I'll stay here and be the last boss per se," Jio answers but actually feels lazy at the moment.
"I'll stay here since Jio is enough for Alexander," Bm let out after Eclipse looked at her.
The greatsword has two sides, one sharp that it could easily cut almost everything and a blunt side that intend to break anything that the greatsword can't slice. Anyone who tries to stop and be on Alexander's way finds themselves unconscious on the ground and alive since he only used the blunt side of the greatsword.
Coming from all directions, Alexander manages to swing his greatsword and keeps his distance from all the monster kind. Whenever they manage to get a hold of his body, he releases an energy burst around his body to push away everyone, giving him space to swing his weapon once again. He thought everything was easy until he realized that the enemies he faced got stronger as he got closer to Sierra.

Watching Alexander's fighting style, Jio knows he can win easily but is curious how or where Alexander got his power.
"I wonder how did he get that power?" Jio let out thinking out loud.
"The greatsword in his possession was held by the hero named Jude, and the weapon absorbed a hundred years of pure energy from the forest," Ancient said as he looked at Jio and continued, "Ah, that power... I'm surprised he didn't unleash its true potential yet. I once fought Jude, but he got away and was severely wounded."
"Lucky little guy!" Jio let out.
"He's so lucky! He could have died if I didn't wander around that area where he was severely wounded," Sierra happily let out.
"He's lucky to meet you," The Ancient said as he pats Sierra's head.
Jio can't wait to fight Alexander after watching him easily split Eclipse into two, Sun and Moon. He's happy to know he doesn't have to hold anymore and wants to show everyone that they don't want to cross him in the future.
Jon morphs into a greatsword, and the remaining extends into wings to enter the battlefield with style.
"Show him who's boss! And why aren't you wearing any armor?" Bm demands and asks about his armor.
"Absolutely!" Jio let out and continued scratching his head, "I used all to my greatsword and wings. I would look cool when I descend! Would you tell me your name if I won, a.k.a 'Bm' a.k.a 'Miss Gecko' a.k.a 'Regular Gecko'?"
"I'll think about it," Bm smiles as Jio flies towards the arena with confidence.

Thirty-five years ago, the world ended. A small subsection of humanity was sent to a brand new world with a game-like system that 'ensured' our survival, and the rest simply disappeared. I fought my way to the upper echelon of levels, made and lost friends over the years, and it finally felt like humanity had carved itself a small foothold in this Godforsaken place. Until one final person died. Until the system reset, and took everything I'd worked so damn hard for with it. I found myself staring at a face I barely recognized as my own, and the Earth began to end once again. Updates every day Monday thru Friday.

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
