Earthen Gemini was a desolate, uninhabitable planet. It looked like a red ball covered in fumes, with pillars of smoke occasionally escaping into space. Its atmosphere was low in oxygen and rich in heavy metals, which the nearby sun heated to unhealthy degrees.
Due to these reasons, this planet was unfit for life. Simul...

The Trampling Ram waited in position between the stars. Thanks to its specially designed glass walls, it did not reflect the starlight, lending itself perfectly for an ambush.
Jack stood on the bridge, arms crossed. His chest was bare, while a gray cloak fluttered behind his back. He seemed like a warlord. Next to him, ...

“BIG BRO!” a brorilla shouted, shooting into space.
“Brock!” Jack exclaimed. Part of his suppressed feelings erupted. Warmth appeared in his heart. With his brother by his side, the world was not as dark anymore.
The two men met in the vacuum and hugged tightly. Jack could feel Brock’s disbelief, his sho...

“What do you mean it’s gone?”
“That it’s gone! The Animal Abyss is gone!”
“It’s a black hole, you idiot. It cannot just disappear.”
“Well, it did!”
The Animal Kingdom was shocked. When they sent one of the Ancestors to guard the Abyss, it was so he could keep intruders away, preve...

Mure flew into a rage. How could this happen!? How could someone of such low level match him?
Yet, he was in battle. This was no time to think.
Mure had acted hastily before, but this time he listened to his instinct and went completely all-out. Lightning erupted from inside his body—crimson sparks covered him, ...

The strongest Ancestor of the Animal Kingdom was Mure Emberheart—a middle B-Grade leonine. This millennium was his shift of watching over the Animal Abyss.
Generally speaking, such a shift was a highly boring duty. He couldn’t leave without reason, so all he did every day was cultivate in isolation. Every hundred ye...

“What about the Gods?” Jack asked, looking at the other side.
“There were twelve of them, as you already know,” Pasan explained. “By the time we hid in here, the Crusade was almost over. None of them had died, so it’s likely they’re all still alive.”
“I know a few things about them,” Jack said....

The repairing was complete. Jack’s Dao Tree was whole again. With just a few days of rest, it would recover from exhaustion and return to its former glory. As for Jack himself, he was completely and utterly spent. His mind was in tatters, and his soul was worn out. He was mentally exhausted.
However, the hardest part ...

Jack sank into his soul world, completely isolating the outside world. Even if someone attacked him, he wouldn’t know. He needed absolute focus.
Starry light welcomed him from all directions. Purple stars twinkled. In the void, a lone tree stood there, rooted into a floating, multi-colored fist.
This fist was la...

The area near the Vortex was forbidden to the Black Hole People. They were too weak to stay here for extended periods of time. As a result, it had grown deserted.
In Jack’s eyes, however, it was a great cultivation spot. It could even be called perfect. An artificial black hole hovered right in front of him, letting h...

The phantom of a large leonine laughing before red skies. Dark rain and booming thunder. Blinding flashes of lightning. Jack running at full speed yet remaining in the same place, forced to watch as a young boy was shred to pieces by the razor-sharp falling rain.

Jack awoke groggily. His entire body was in pain. He could not move his limbs, nor could he sense them—as if the only thing awake about him was his brain.
A young woman emerged in the mist of his vision. She seemed human—pale skin, blond hair, blue eyes, soft hands tending to his wounds. She was beautiful, too. As s...

Jack and Eric hadn’t seen each other in five years. In Jack’s memory, Eric was just a little boy with whom he’d toured the world and built a little treehouse in the forest. Besides a few vacation weeks, he’d only been present for the first six months after his children were born; he watched them grow, watched them dev...

The Animal Abyss—the periphery of this black hole—was a mysterious place where even B-Grades regularly perished. One’s perception was useless, while spacetime was so chaotically warped that finding one’s way through here was basically impossible. Even the Animal Kingdom, with its million years of history, had not mana...

Jack did not pause. He shot forward, but it did little to inhibit his latest pursuer. The void shimmered behind him; it parted, revealing a white-haired, young-looking woman.

Jack sat cross-legged in his room. Simple walls surrounded him, fitted with a wide window which overlooked the vastness of space. Endless stars twinkled. They gathered in rivers, stamping their presence into the cosmos as the arms of Jack’s home galaxy—the Milky Way.

The universe remained dark. Endless stars glittered in all directions.
