At the bottom of the mountain.

Over fifty Chosen Ones were gathered around a spacious place, with the forest around them and the stone stairway not far from them.

There was another path, the stone path leading straight to the harbor, where all the ships are docked.

Soon, a black-haired youth took the final step on the stairway and touched the soft ground with his shoes.

Ichiro looked around the place and saw some of the Chosen Ones have their own group of friends now, but he knew that every one of them would backstab their so-called friends for their own benefit.

His gaze went past everyone, and he finally noticed a few familiar faces.

Lord, Lone, and Ares sat on top of the tree trunk while hiding from the sun underneath another tree, which had bushy leaves that stopped the sun from reaching them.

Soon, Ichiro arrived there and sat down next to Lone.

''Yo.'' Lord waved his hand and raised his sunglasses slightly.

''Yo,'' Ichiro replied with another yawn.

When he turned his head towards the young man, he noticed something strange.

Lone and Ares were glaring in one direction.

''What are you two doing?'' He asked.

Lord chuckled and pointed in one direction, ''Look.''

Ichiro turned his head and widened his eyes in shock. He saw a masked man who was sitting alone.

''Avery…'' He was surprised because Avery wasn't chosen one!

''No idea how he is here…'' Lord said and also didn't care much about Avery's presence.

He is far past his prime after getting defeated by Ichiro.

Everyone was afraid of him because of his status as the Young Genius of the Moonstar Family, but that was in the past.

Now, he is nothing.

But, Lone and Ares still looked hatefully towards Avery.

After Avery was kicked out of Marq's Royal City, Ares became the person who could carry Moonstar Family to the seat of Emperor, but he never had any intention of doing so.

His father has always hated him because of his lack of interest.

His father had been begging and begging, but Ares didn't even bat an eye. He won't become Emperor and has zero intention of betraying Lord.

Ichiro turned his gaze away and noticed a strange sight.

A handsome black-haired youth was writing in a notebook but was giggling after every 5 seconds or so.

Every Chosen One kept their distance and didn't want to go near that creep.

Ichiro shook his head and didn't care much about him; instead focused on getting rid of his sleepiness.

It might be another long day ahead, and being sleepy would be very disadvantageous.

Darkel, who was chuckling and giggling, finished writing and felt his skin itching.

He slightly turned his gaze to the right and noticed Ichiro sitting with his eyes closed.

''Rgh…'' Darkel dropped his notebook and scratched his itchy skin.

After Ichiro's gray eyes looked at him, the itchy feeling reappeared.

''Those eyes… Disgusting…'' Darkel spat out angrily, but then, his concentration slipped away after a group of Chosen Ones appeared in front of him.

The Chosen One leading them had a sickening grin while standing on top of the dropped notebook.

''Don't step on it,'' Darkel said with slight anger in his tone, but the Chosen One started rubbing his shoe on it, dirtying the cover of the notebook with dirt.Want to see more chapters? Please visit panda-novel ,com

''What are you going to do about it, creep?'' He asked while four other Chosen Ones behind him chuckled.

'I will kill you and then use your intestines as a jump rope!' Darkel wanted to shout his thoughts aloud but dispelled those impulses.

Instead, Darkel smiled innocently and said, ''You are not very nice. Please give me the notebook back, and I will buy you a drink, how is that?''

The Chosen One scoffed and grabbed the notebook, ''You want this?''

Darkel nodded with an innocent smile.

''Go get it.'' The Chosen One threw the notebook inside the forest, and unluckily, it landed in a small puddle of water.

''Hah.'' He and his group of Chosen Ones left with laughter.

Darkel's innocent face crumbled, and his face became murderous, ''Kekeke…'' A creepy laughter left his mouth, which he couldn't contain.

''Jump rope… Jump rope… Jump rope…'' He stood up and started jumping towards the forest like he was using a jump rope.

Everyone who saw him grimaced in disgust and felt creeped out.

Lord, Lone, and Ares also saw the strange sight but didn't care much about it.

Darkel stopped in front of the puddle and grabbed the wet notebook, which had all the pages wet and destroyed.

''Kukukuku…'' He grabbed the notebook and tore it apart. Every piece of paper landed in the puddle and was soon destroyed.

''Intestines… Intestines…'' His dark eyes turned towards the group of Chosen Ones, who were laughing with each other.

His grin stretched from ear to ear.

''Hehehehe…''

Back in the spacious space.

The forest around them was silent, like death, but soon that silence was disturbed.

''RAWR!'' Lord, Lone, and Ares stood up in a hurry and looked towards the forest with serious looks.

Ichiro slowly opened his eyes and recognized the sound.

Normal wild beasts have different tones in their growls.

But Mutated Beast's growls have a tinge of killing intent.

'Mutated Beasts…' He slowly turned around, and in the forest's depths, he noticed pair of red eyes glaring straight at him.

'I see…' He slowly stood up and clenched his fists.

Darkel, who was alone in the forest, turned around, and only a meter away from him, a menacing-looking tiger was looking right at him!

A trail of saliva left its monstrous jaw.

Darkel didn't move, but then laughter escaped his mouth, ''Kukukuku…''

''Grrr…'' The tiger thought that the youth had made fun of him.

Darkel took a step back, but the tiger followed.

*Splat*

The tiger's paw was slammed into the puddle, and it kept going forwards, nearing Darkel with each passing second.

''Well… Big kitty…'' Darkel's chuckled with sweatdrops trailing down its forehead.

*Bam*

His back crashed on the tree, and his escape path was now completely blocked.

''Grr…'' The tiger went into a lower stance. Its tail kept moving behind its massive torso, and it waited for the best moment to attack, and soon, that moment arrived.

Darkel turned his head towards the Chosen Ones, but the tiger took that as a chance to finish him off!

But then, Darkel's head snapped back, and he was looking straight at the tiger's monstrous jaw.

A disgustingly large grin appeared on his face, ''Well… Someone is being naughty…''

*CRACK!*

*SPURT!*
