《Emperor's Journey》14.Escape I
Advertisement
The four mercenaries who had been trapped in the strange world, managed to adapt themselves in this new foreign world which were full of dangers and mysteries waiting to be uncovered.
These hired military personals were best friends later became sworn sisters. Women had always been considered a weak species from other perspective.
Moreover, what hurt their pride the most was that the statement came from their gender counterpart. Thus, these sisters sort out to change this perspective of the people.
These quartette managed to complete dozens of missions given by their employer and managed to rise in rank faster than their peers. Their rank which was initially took about 3 years to reached their current rank which was S rank.
The SIL had a ranking system starting from F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and X rank. F is consider a trainee while X represent the peak of the paranormal. So far none of the paranormal had ever achieved X rank while only trio figures held the SSS throne.
A-rank and below is the lower part of the ranking system. They only walk on the path of the mundane. Some of them did not care about power or influence.
There are two types of path for the paranormals, the "normal" path or the Imperial path. The normal path is for those who are within the standard rank and they have little to zero influence in the league.
The Imperial path is a cruel journey which involve deception and even murdering. The imperial group will fight for dominance whether it be a threat from either the outer space or Earth herself.
S-rank paranormal is the rank of a hero with countless merits. This is the starting point of the Imperial path. The holder will either have to establish their own faction or join the existing one for the beginning of the journey.

SS-rank is the throne for the kings of the paranormal. They are the leader of the countries in the continent. A few dozens of kings had established their foundation in either of the three main continent of the world.
SSS-rank is a place for the strongest of humanity in defending against the threat. They held majority of the authority of SIL. There were three known existence which had attained the rank of Emperor as many people claimed the rank was for the emperors of the Mankind.
X-rank is nickname as the "impossible" for the god-like existence which signifying the person has break the mortal shackle and achieve the impossible. The SIL had announced that only the Legendary Zero is worthy of the title even though he is no longer with them.
Even the most arrogant within the rank of Emperor would not dare to self proclaim himself as it considered a blasphemy by fellow paranormals whether it be hero or villian.
90% within the paranormal community would never dared to taint the Great Tomb of Zero whether it would be literally or the opposite.

Thor nearly collapsed when a burning crimson hand grabbed his arm, preventing the former from falling into the ground.
"Look at you."
"Pathetic as always, Thor."
Thor lifted his head as his sight was getting a better look at the person who held him. The burning armor which flame was flaring from his back and on the back of the helmet which they resembled a pair of wings on each place.
"A…Ag…ni."
"Yo! I see you had been busy."
"…How?"
"Let's just say, it's a long story."
"Look at you. A mess. Anyway, we're out of here first."
*BOOM*
Before they could escapes, the black serpents went into an aggressive state as they charged at them, damaging further the space itself.

Luckily, the rescuer, Agni rolled to the side along with the fallen Thor.
"Hoho. Looks like our friend is getting anxious."
*ROAR*
"Time to escape. Caduceus!"
Without wasting any time, Agni grabbed his staff and hit it onto the ground using the base of the pole as a powerful shockwave discharged from it. The force unleashed from the shockwave knocked away everything with the exception of the duo.
However, something unexpected happened which blew Julies' mind. The teleportation was supposed to work yet something hindered its process causing it to be nullified.
"Interesting indeed."
"As expected from someone who is the Emperor's favourite."
"He even made a seal in this boy's spirit realm."
"Impressive. No wonder why no one is able to kill him yet."
Moreover, how could the berserker let its enemies get away when he was so close on defeating them. Anticipating this, Agni grabbed took some blood from the wounded Thor and some from himself before mixing them together.
He chanted some spell in a form of a tongue twisting language which Thor did not even understand a single word that Agni recited. Agni was drawing a circle using their blood mixture.
A bright circle emerged below them as soon as the pyromancer finished the recitation. Sensing that his enemies were escaping again. The remaining serpent like tentacles charged trying to prevent the duo from escaping.
Fortunately, the two managed to escape before the shadow nearly harmed them. The burst of light took them out from the spirit realm and threw them somewhere within the world of Asura itself.
*SIGH*
Both of them let out a breath of relieve as they barely escape the nightmare. They knew that something sinister was ongoing.
"Safe. Safe. Safe."
"So tell me, Thor. How the heck did that thing even emerge?"
Thor was mumbling because the previous incident would not happened if he did not pressure the poor child.
"I…I-"
"You let it out didn't you?"
"Huh?"
"Don't 'huh' me."
"So, tell me. How did the seal broke in the first place?"
It took a few moments before Thor opened his mouth trying to answer the question.
"I don't know."
"What? You're telling that you did not even know how the hell did that thing even escaped?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

Super Sekken (An Action Shonen Story)
This is the author’s first story ever written. It may not be great, but do check it out, and I hope you enjoy! I’m currently working on its sequel. Hope. Courage. Self-value. Friends. These all were traits that former junior high soccer champion and first year Miyuki Sekken had none of until she first walked into the doors of her local High School. Despite being a sports athlete phenomenon in her school district, Miyuki dreaded its attention, and even quit her career in pursuit of living a simplistic daily routine. This daily routine would be inevitably interrupted when she chooses to 'branch out' by talking to people. Whether it be a chance of bad luck, fate, or karma, Sekken ends up speaking to someone who was unknowingly suffering from a curse: a curse that causes anyone who tries to get close to them to disappear. Miyuki Sekken would be the next victim, finding herself face-to-face against a once-thought mythical mafia. This gang is not just any gang either, but one who is run solely by the school students of Maguro High, who hold secrets to powers unheard of by the world. How will this first year survive? Will she conquer her anxiety and thwart the gang's vicious rule? Or will she end up losing more than she could have imagined? P.S. I am not a good drawer, so I use Picrews and photo editors to get the general idea for my characters' designs. Rights to the Picrews used go to their respective authors.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
