“I’m such a coward…” He jumped out of the bed, feeling as fatigued as before he had fallen asleep. Darius decided to shower. Returning, he found a black uniform and boots waiting along with a letter instructing him to put them on and eat while waiting for further instructions. He did so and waited until about eleven AM when Darius …

Darius buried his face in his hands, a feeling of impending doom creeping up on him. “Look, Darius. Think of what you’ll get if you win. You’ll be able to do whatever you want. Trust me, if anything, this whole arrangement helps you more than it helps me. Drink?” Darius stared at Lionel in disbelief. “No, I don’t want a …

Lionel let out a hearty laugh that resonated throughout the restaurant. Darius didn’t respond, simply wearing the same grim expression he had maintained throughout their entire conversation. “Well, I’ve been waiting to hear you say that all day.” The Prince chuckled. Darius, however, wasn’t in the mood to talk. The only thing left in his mind was to get all …

Darius set the metal cylinders back on the desk. He had lost, and he knew it. Even though there was little more to be said, the eldest clerk scoffed, “To think that the likes of you swarm these halls like vermin each year. Disgraceful! We won’t tolerate your filth anymore!

Lionel could tell that Darius still didn’t believe him, so he reached into one of his pockets and took out his phone. Raising it up to Darius’s eyes, he tapped the screen. A light on the phone immediately flashed green, and Lionel smirked as he showed the screen to Darius. “There’s your proof,” he announced as he handed Darius the …

Darius grinned, letting free all his troubles, but his glee was short-lived as his awe transformed into pure terror upon seeing another sphere hurtling towards them. Darius felt he had already cheated death three times that day, and he wasn’t sure whether he could accomplish this feat a fourth time. As the two spheres sped towards each other, neither one …

Actually, Will didn’t want one of Darius’ arms. He wanted Darius dead. They shoved him around, punching and kicking the living daylights out of him. Will had hoped to goad Darius into doing something stupid like fighting back, so his swift death would appear justified, but Darius did what he always did: he covered his head with his hands and …

Unfortunately, Darius had no place to stay and no money either, so his first priority currently was to find a nice, secluded place where no one would bother him, and he could finish his daily ten thousand hammer strikes.
