A hoarse groan escaped from Kaijuka as he regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, causing a wave of pain to pulsate through his temples. He emitting another groan before pushing past the pain and pulling himself into a sitting position. He grabbed hold of his throbbing head before looking around the room. He was surprised to see it in such a mess. The floor was destroyed, walls cracked and having junks falling from it, torches lay on the floor, smothered out. What happened while he was out? He suddenly remembered about the red-skinned woman. Fear overtook him and he jumped to his feet, looking around for her, but she was nowhere to b

Several breaks had to be taken in order to make the journey to the top. It would be impossible to climb the hundreds of stone stairs without taking a break. The tower itself was as high as the Eiffel Tower, with possibly twice as many stairs. But once the top was reached, it was all worth the struggle. In the case of our heroes, it was only half of the battle. They head reached the top, their legs just hanging on and out of breath. Frost was suffering by far the worse. Considering the weight of his new armor and his growing age, it was rather surprising that he hadn't collapsed and passed out at this point. “Took you long enough.”

People lounged in the streets, while others watched from the doorways of their deteriorating homes. The streets themselves were dark and full of garbage, the mood very solemn. A town that had once held a marvellous market and the kindest of people was now reduced to abandoned businesses and beggars, who scrounged around in order to survive, eating rats and anything else they can get their hands on. Many of them had scars or recent wounds, showing the violence that had ensued in an attempt to live another day. As the heroes walked through the dirty town, men and women, even children, reached their hands to the heroes and begged for food or mo

Loud pants and hard footsteps could be heard in the silent, spiralling staircase of the Champion Tower. Kaijuka, the channel's hero, was quickly climbing the stairs in order to reach the top floor of the tower, where a villain by the name of Zanryuu hides. Somehow he had managed to defeat the champion of the tower, then when he gained the title, he corrupted the system from the inside out, including the one that overlooks the city. All money made was immediately given to him along with the majority of the food supply. People in the city would beg for food or money to whoever came by, even resorting to violence in order to survive. Kaijuka was

“You must be joking,” Lucien hissed, looking over the files of his recently announced “partners”. “Why would I be joking?” The energy known as Meulei responded, sounding confused by the question. Lucien emitted an irritated sigh, closing the folders and handing them back to the creature. The jaw ended tail of his clicked its teeth in irritation, reflecting on Lucien's emotions. He had a tolerance to other demon species, due to living in the underworld and having to serve much of them with his services. But when it came to humans, his patience was thin. He began up the staircase to the gate hall, thinking ov
