Garen Olsteis folded his hands together slowly as he looked out the window in front of him. The morning light gleamed as dawn crossed the horizon, visible even behind thousands of obstructing buildings. The building Garen was in was a Tower, giving him a powerful vantage point.
Garen was a handsome man. He had a chiseled face and body, muscular and toned ...

The air around him shivered as he took a single step forward. The energy in his veins from his Earth Tier Ki Cultivation ran rampant, his power consolidating.

Abruptly, his blade struck forward at an incredibl...

Warmth, energy, strength, power, confidence, sadness, guilt, loneliness, a flurry of feelings and emotions soared through Micheal's soul as he opened up his eyes. Green energy flashed in the deepest part of his eyes, the glowing Earth Tier Ki flashing dimly.

The Heart Trial of a Ki Tier breakthrough was a rather mystical occurrence.
Ki was a powerful, natural energy that could be used freely as long as ones body and Soul could handle the strain. The energy was fluid, something that could be used for a multitude of purposes.
This energy, however, was intrinsically linked with the heart, mind, and Soul of the b...

This single man had caused Micheal a huge amount of concern.
In the Nightrunners, everyone, even up to Mr 1, was someone Micheal could handle. All of the Numbers members had extraordinary or unusual powers, many of them ones that were unnatural or absurd.
However, with the future knowledge he held and the experience he owned, Micheal was confident that his pla...

A few hours later…
“Okay! Sh-Shin, hold on! Don’t just go in!” Sophia’s voice was an odd mix between a yell and a hushed whisper, neither quiet nor too loud as she waved frantically at a distant figure.

Micheal yawned as he came to, stretching comfortably in bed. He blinked a few times, gradually sitting up. He cast his gaze around his bedroom.
The same sink, desk, doorstop holding up the door, everything around him was in its place.
He jumped up out of bed, humming to himself. He went over and brushed his teeth, getting ready for the day.

“The world is one, I am the world.” Micheal’s voice echoed softly as he sat in meditation, on a lone outcropping on the side of one of the towering skyscrapers.
