"Ahhh? Ok?" Ian was baffled. He had never faced a situation like this in the literal sense. 

Even in his previous world, nothing this extreme ever happened which might be due to a situation like this never happening.

He did take gun lessons but never actually used them against a human being. He did use them when hunting, and some strange situations did occur, but this...

However, like ever...

"Why don't you just tell me your plan? I will feel more confident that way." Selina softly said to Ian through the phone.

"Just be patient, you have nothing to lose either way. When I send you a message, do what you do best."

Ian responded with a simple answer before hanging up. He then continued to make his way to the meeting, he had black gloves on and even plastic ones beneath them.

He had a blac...

"Well... Hmm, a sadist or a masochist? Or is your work being a dominatrix or something?"

"What????"

"Oh? You're not? Well, never mind then." Ian just shrugged his shoulders.

Selina let out a sigh and continued walking towards him, then started circling around him.

Ian remained as defenseless as usual, even as she softly hugged him from behind and whispered in his ears, "I'm not, but I ...

That's the last thing Barney remembered before blacking out again, "I didn't tell the cat much, did I?"

Here he was inside a strange place, a nostalgic place. Well, actually not at all, they have the place. With him was Mike and their savior Ralf.

Directly after robbing the bank and stashing everything, Ralf made his way towards the museum to pick up the two. He did indeed do that, their pa...

"Ladies and gentleman. I introduce you to the jewel of the world, the beauty of nature, the Russifer Diamond."

"Holy Christ, it looks... beautiful." Barney couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes were shining transfixed by the gorgeous things before him. Never before had he thought of ever lying his eyes upon such a thing.

The diamond was placed within what looks like a glass container ...

It was an ordinary day in Gotham. The bright sun shone upon its alleyway. However, there seemed to be a shadow that blocks a significant part of that light from reaching the skin of the living.

It was the shadow of corruption, fear, and uncontrollable desires. It's also the curse of depravity, sins, and immorality.

Yet even under such dire circumstances, there were plenty of people walking thr...

The trio remained relatively calm with only a few of their face muscles twitching, his absurdity is incomprehensible. However, it all worked out fine so far, so surely he must know what he's doing... Right?

"This marks the end of the petty thieves... We can't clean the entire place anymore." Ian  stated while eyeing the hesitating Barney, "Go on, speak your mind."

"C-can we no...

His people indeed joined him in the laugh and only stopped when he stopped. He only stopped because he noticed Ian also joining them in the laugh, he was truly getting baffled by now.

"We'll pull out for a while. You can do whatever you want in the meantime. We'll surely come back but not anytime soon. Understand?" Mike said to another middle-aged man standing before him.

Despite trying to hide, the man was extremely excited. He was the third beggar to join the petty thieves, and he made his way up the ranks.

It did occur to him sometimes to try taking over the gr...

Ian on the other hand covered himself with a dirty brown coat after spraying a bit of dark chocolate on his face and dirtying his hair a bit. He then slept next to the old man, "Well, good night old Ralf."

Ian didn't really think about his plans much. He's the adventurous type, the one who turns off his brain most of the time to make things more exciting. 

His gift allowed ...

Are you willing to stay like this forever just waiting for opportunities to get to you? Let's create them ourselves."

The three were a bit stunned by his words for a bit though Ralf, the experienced old man got his wits back together, "That... is actually very convincing, but..."

The other two were also hesitating, so Ian gave them one last push, "It's okay, take your time. Just...

"Well, I guess thank you for having me, and I'm Ian, just Ian."

Ralf took a bite from the apple in his hand before lifting it and saying, "Want a bite?"

"Nah, I'm not hungry, not yet at least."

"Well, this is your first lesson, be an opportunist. Take every opportunity before you no matter how small. That bite of apple could save your day someday.

"Phew, quite cold outside... Perfect for the next adventure." A young dark-haired man stated. He was rubbing his itching eyes, seemingly just woken up.

He had only a grey bathrobe on. A large part of his chest was apparent, and he didn't care. He appeared to be quite leisurely, lazy, and simply living the life.

He also appeared to be healthy with a well-defined and maintained body, and his...

The seasons passed in the blink of an eye, welcoming the arrival of a new year and more years.

And so, twenty years have passed, and those years were special as they introduced the coming of a new era.

They welcomed an era where humans flourished and took back what was once th...

Yasuo slowly lifted his hand as a test tube appeared in it with a purple liquid within that soon disappeared... Yes, he found another part of Epithymías but this one seems special.

It looks more like a thin tree trunk with several thin branches on its top. It's however not a tree, It's part of Epithymías.

The fact it's transparent with some kind of jelly-like substance flowing slowly inside of it is ...

Yasuo didn't stop once he reached it or paid much attention to it, instead, he continued to fly higher and higher, seeking to reach the top.

He noticed numerous skeletons scattered all around the bast of the world tree, seemingly sucked dry.

There was an obvious sense of death surrounding the area, warning any new preys from coming close, lest they become victim to the all-devouring tree. 2021-08-16 16:36:01 +0000 UTC View Post

"Just as I thought," Remarked Yasuo while hovering in the darkness of the night and looking down on a normal-looking forest beneath him.

The grass was overshadowed by the numerous massive trees all around. They also hid numerous wild life forms all over the forest, some are massive, thus quite apparent from the sky.

Colossal creatures seem to be quite abundant in this part of the dark continent, life forms si...

Yasuo can however notice something the father doesn't seem to notice. He can see hints of relief within the child's vague and dark face... At least his father won't hit his mother anymore.

Yasuo's face was unusually calm watching the scene, but even someone like him was slightly affected seeing it for the first time.

He couldn't help but frown, knowing exactly what the father's actions had done. What th...

The peculiar thing about this is the fact that they're all empty and what the people in the room doing is simply looking in front of them.

This is a ritual Yasuo is used to by this point because he has gone through it many times... They are eating dinner.

Of course, there is no food within the underground town, thus no dinner to have which only makes it even more peculiar.

Only a second passed before they seem to realize what just happened, what they just did as one of them walked to the front with a hint of apology on his face in contrast to the weird look they all had before.

"I'm sorry for our strange welcome, we're just not used to having guests around here. So our caution should be understandable right?"

'Well, this is strange, too strange. What's with thei...

There was something then there was nothing. That's the perfect description of what took place.

There was a magnificent cavern. It was painted in numerous brilliant colors. Then the cave was no more.

The scarlet sphere painted with dark lines was the cause of such a thing. 

The moment it made contact with the stone bowl, the latter instinctively tried to devour it, and it responded bac...

In the grotto however, it could be said that there is too much of it, most humans would feel suffocated even standing within it, unable to breathe, and death will come soon after.

The sheer pressure of all of that accumulation of Nen can bring anyone to their knees, unable to stand up.

However, Yasuo stood strong, unfazed. Then he started walking towards the stone bowl, dis...

It wasn't long before he reached his destination, a massive forest encompassing the horizon itself, spreading as far as the eye can see... Strangely peaceful.

Before anyone even enters the forest, they would notice something unusual, there is very little activity within the forest and its surroundings.

That's not to say there is no life within it because Yasuo is able to detect an abundan...

"Hah..... Hahaha hahaha..." The sound of laughter echoed throughout the inky night sky.

The sound's source seems hidden within the darkness of the night, barely visible.

The sound echoed continuously in several locations nearly at the same time, but no matter how much one looked for the source of the sound, they will never be able to find it.

Time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. 

Reality is just a complex network of events onto which we project sequences of past, present, and future. 

However, time is still a concept we humans defined and know off. That was all that's needed for the people with power to make use of it.

The concept of Nen which ...

He gently lifted his hand as a small strand of Nen left it, but never left his control, and under that control, that energy shaped itself in the shape of a cylinder as a few more words left his mouth, "I just need time... Time to mimic it."

He closed his eyes for a second before letting out a breath of fresh air. Then he remarked as he stood on the brink of setting foot in the crimson land. 2021-07-26 09:54:53 +0000 UTC View Post

However, what that sacred radiance caused is nothing if not pure darkness.

"Yeah, no matter how much I see such similar scenes, you never make much sense... Unless a variable exists."

His vision ability is too convenient, and it allowed him to see similar scenes to the spectacle before him many times before.

The scene of reality getting distorted under the sphere's ominous light. I...

That near-instantaneous transfer of information and reaction proved to be utterly useless against the cylinder because... because it surpassed the speed of light by far.

So many questions and doubts spurted in Yasuo's mind as time started rewinding itself back until he appeared floating in the middle of the air.

The scene changed with the vision construct still floating above him before those...

Yasuo then closed his eyes, seemingly ignoring the colossal punches heading his away, and gently uttered a few words.

A devouring jungle from the left. 

Darkness from the right. 

Ominous light of misfortune at the front.

Fire of hell behind.

His words resembled some kind of incantation because after his every word, reality becomes twisted as they come true. 2021-07-23 09:26:54 +0000 UTC View Post

"Crack!!! Crackkk!!!" The things that led Yasuo to know that the land is of Don Freecss' creation finally started moving, as the deafening sound of their movement reverberated through the expanse and created massive sonic bombs by their sheer scale and movement speed.

What lied before his eyes are what appear to be three great exquisite statues.

The statues were so colossal. They could be see...
