Is this really a Game?!

"Ah, so in the end, this is it for me." The ogre slowly starts withering as his purple color fades away and leaves a now gray fur. Ranzur was no longer a big powerful ogre, his height now was some 2 meters and his gray body was skin and bones.

"Little one, compared to other Vajra's right now you are weak, but you have something they do not, and that is your mind." The old ogre knocks lightly on his head while smiling at Greenie who was gloomily looking down on him.

"Your way of thinking and belief differ greatly from theirs, that can be your biggest advantage, never forget that," Ranzur speaks with a voice filled with benevolence and care, it was hard to imagine that this was the enemy they fought just a while ago.

"Now do it young VAJRA!" Greenie flinches as the old ogre shouts while spreading his arms. He was struggling to do it, his brain was telling him that it was alright, the old ogre wants to die so he should fulfill his wish, but his heart, his heart didn't allow him to strike down an old defenseless man, even if that person is his enemy.


"Hesitating, don't disappoint me now BOY!" Ranzur speaks in a furious tone at Greenie. "You are an ogre, I would rather die from your strike than your friends there."

"Greenie." Reign comes to Greenie and puts his hand on his shoulder, with the other hand he brings his sword to Greenie's hand. "Take it, he deserves a clean and quick death."

Greenie accepts the sword and nods solemnly to Reign who smiles at him before looking down at the kneeling ogre. Their eyes intersect as the old ogres smiles at Reign who nods respectfully at him, the ogre's words have done more than enough to gain respect, not many would accept their death so gracefully as he and the old vampire had.

"Hahaha, you are an anomaly boy." Reign turns around as he hears the old ogres' words.

"Someone like you should not exist in such a place, no, none of you should exist on this planet, neither was I supposed to be here." The old ogre looks up at the lights as he speaks. "A storm is brewing boy, become strong before it swallows you and everything you care for."

Reign bows lightly to show his thanks before leaving. Ranzur smiles again before looking at Greenie for one final time.

"My time has passed a long time ago little one, do it." Greenie holds the sword with both of his hands before taking a deep breath. With a swift motion, he cuts off the old ogre's head before turning around and leaving. He was weirdly calm, killing the old ogre did nothing to him, even though he was struggling to do it before.

[Blessing from a tribe leader ]

Descriptions: Tribe leaders are aloof and powerful creatures in the ogre clan. Ranzur was an offspring of a Demon Ogre and a normal ogre, as such he was cast away from his tribe of demon ogres because of his lacking strength and embarrassing origin. Over the years he had become stronger and managed to become a tribe leader of a medium-sized ogre tribe. His strength was amongst the top of the tribe leaders and even the demon tribe had some respect for him. In his last moments, he had great hopes for a young Vajra ogre and left a blessing for him, the effects of the blessing are unknown right now but will certainly be helpful in the future.

Greenie looks at his hand that was glowing purple, on the back of it a small pattern was inscribed. The pattern resembled a small fist in movement, clad in purple flames. He quickly turns around and bows solemnly to the corpse of Ranzur before continuing towards Reign and the others who were waiting for him near the hole.

Ronny and the other two were there as well, the battle they had just witnessed showed them exactly how powerful Reign and the others were, the battles they previously had made them believe that was the extent of their abilities but they now knew how wrong that was. Looking at the group of five humans and an ogre who were talking casually they knew that the power they showed at this battle was still them holding back.

They all gulp after realizing that. One of them was enough to destroy all of them together with the people in the zones. After all fighting in the zones wasn't prohibited as they had no guards like the castle did.

"What do we do with her?" Shadow asks Reign as he points to the woman that was bound in his shadows.

"Let me try." Reign goes to the woman and squats down to look at her face to face.

"Human, I have to congratulate you, you are all stronger than I anticipated." The woman sneers at Reign before smiling.

"Leave this body and I promise I won't torture you to death." Reign coldly commands.

"Torture, ahahahaha, I cannot feel anything you fool, your threats are useless."

"I didn't mean to torture this body, I mean you, I will find out who you are and where you are, and when I find you, you will beg me to kill you." Reign's body buzzes with lighting around him as he angrily declares to the woman that was now looking seriously at him.

"Human, don't overestimate yourself."

"I'm not, but since it seems you will not comply." Reign doesn't even finish his sentence before he grabs the woman's head. There was a voice in his head, it was telling him to grab her, to destroy her soul that was residing inside the body as a parasite.

(A weakling)

(Destroy it, annihilate it.)

(Use your anger)

As Reign grabs the woman his eyes change, one of his eyes becomes pitch black while the other turns completely white. The woman sees that and tries to speak, only to find that to be impossible as her soul suddenly felt intense pain. She didn't know how but Reign was attacking it, he was destroying it.

"I guess this is only a part of your soul, no matter, I will find the other pieces, and then I will find you." Reign's voice echoes in her soul as she finally feels fear for the first time on this planet. Soul-based powers were very rare and she thought that nothing will be able to hurt her, yet it was only the beginning of the game and a part of her soul was to be extinguished.

Soon the soul disappears while the woman's body falls down. Looking down at her Reign looks over at Lea and tells her to stay here and look over the woman in case she wakes up.

Everyone stays silent at what Reign did, if their friend wants to tell them he will, nothing else mattered.

"So, we go down huh?" Tank looks down at the hole that seemed to be bottomless.

"I guess?" Shadow scratches his head in confusion as he looks around in hopes of finding some kind of a clue on how to proceed. Unfortunately even after all of them went through every nook and cranny of the area they found nothing, only shelves could be found in the area.

"Well I think it's quite clear, we need to jump, if we use our weapons I'm certain we can go down slowly." Reign gets down on one knew and stabs his sword in the walls of the hole to check if it is possible.

"Yup, we can definitely do that." Reign nods after finding that the soil that made the walls of the hole wasn't too soft or rough.

Wolf suddenly gets to the edge of the hole and throws down a rock.

"Huh, Wolf?" Reign looks over at him with a confused expression before coming to a realization.

"You think that-?" A splash of water could be heard coming from the hole. Reign was correct, Wolf threw the rock simply to check if there was water down the hole, if there was that meant that they would probably be safe after going down after all the dungeon wouldn't simply make them jump to their deaths.

"We're gonna get wet." Beast shakes his head after saying that. Being wet and having to fight was definitely not going to be a nice experience.

"Not for long." Wolf simply lights a fire on his hand while looking over at Beast who looks down in embarrassment, of course, they would dry off quickly with Wolf's flames, how could he forget about that?

"Alright guys, let's go for a swim or dive?" Reign puts his arms up in confusion as he jumps down the hole. The other simply look at each other before sighing and jumping down as well. Ronny and the two zone leaders were last. They looked at each other for a couple of seconds before Ronny and Cameron jumped down as well.

Even if there was danger down there they had to follow after them. The last thing they wanted to do was to make those guys angry. Lea stayed as Reign told her to.

Splash

Big splashes of water could be heard as everyone gets down. Tank and Greenie of course make the biggest splashes as they were physically larger than the others.

They were in a big pond that seemed to have naturally formed in the underground area of the warehouse. As they get out of the water they all go to Wolf who was using his flames to dry everyone. After a couple of minutes, everyone was nice and dry and they all continue forward.

Ding!
