8 Fort Master, Nyna.
6:55 AM.
"Big sister Shizu is back!"
"Big brother Pil too!"
As soon as Shen, Pil, and Shizu arrive at the entrance of the Fort, welcoming voices sounded.
Shen looks around and felt shocked.
"Suprised? Hoping that it will all be adults?" Pil spoke as he pats Shen's shoulders.
Shizu smiles at him too; "Our Fort Master is a really caring one, children and elderly are treated equally together with us adults here."
Hearing their words, Shen is grasping little by little of what the Fort Master's personality, but he himself prefers to see these personalities rather than believing the words of mouth.
The three of them continues to walk forward while Pil and Shizu are both talking to the people they pass by.
Shen is looking at their fort but he only kept seeing normal citizens, his curiosity got the best of him as he asks: "Uh, where are the other warriors of this fort? I can only see normal survivors."
Shizu looked at Pil, seemingly hinting him on something, but Pil just shook his head and spoke: "Including the both of us and the fort master, there are only less than 50 evolvers, all of us are tasked to do scouting while gathering meat, while the normal citizens are here planting and taking care of the vegetations."
Shen nods his head repeatedly: "Thanks, big bro."
Pil smiled as he nodded and continued their walk.
Shen kept seeing a bunch of people of people and instinctively kept using appraisal, which intern became the reason why he knew all of the people they saw were normal people.

Shen saw this and felt a little shock but manages to not make any sudden moves to prevent any suspicions acting up from both Pil and Shizu.
"Ummm, can I ask... if I can know who's the strongest people inside this fort?" Shen asks subconsciously.
As a player from any games with a ranking system, who wouldn't want to be ranked at the top? And who wouldn't check the rankings? Each player would've at least checked it once or twice a day, especially if it's always displayed on the front page of the forums.
Pil chuckles as he looks at Shizu and spoke: "The fort master is ranked first while this girl beside you is ranked 2nd, well, you can make it out that I`m in the farthest of the top 10 but well, that's our rankings based on our training."
Shizu didn't say anything as this piece of information had already been widespread throughout the area, even with their enemies.
Shen nods his head and remained silent afterward.
15 minutes later.
"We're here," Pil spoke as he pats Shen's shoulder and walks back.
Shen looks at Pil in a bewildering but decides not to talk since Shizu is still together with him. Throughout their way, their way here, Shen was only speculating why their stats have never actually improved much even though they had leveled up so much, instead, their attacks were boosted to a tremendous level. But since they already arrived at their destination, Shen moves these thoughts away.
Shen then moves his attention towards the house in front of them. Shen is quite positive that this is one of the types of houses from a hundred years ago; "The fort master is a history fanatic?"
The house in front of them looks like that of a Japanese mansion from the 1800 period made with bamboo, there are even two ponds just inside the entrance surrounded with vegetations.
Shizu nods her head and spoke: "Yes, now go on, I`ll stay here."
"Eh?" Shen felt shocked, but since their Fort Master is actually the strongest, even if a normal human being like him is to actually have any ill intention towards their Fort Master, it will be futile, and if Shen can actually kill their Fort Master, then how can they even fight.
Well, this is what Shen's current thought process is like, hence, he proceeded immediately and opens the door.
"Hmm? A guest?"
As soon as Shen enters the room, he heard a girl's voice, but that's not everything. The moment his foot enters the house, not even stepping on the floor, he felt a huge pressure locking down on him, it's like, the atmosphere became extremely hellish.
Instinctively, Shen stops from entering and pulled out his foot back outside the house.
Seeing this, Shizu claps her hands: "Woah, you're a warrior, huh, you can be trained."
"So, it's Shizu that brought you here, with that, I`ll not kill you." The voice spoke again and continuous; "Shizu, I already told you to stop doing that."
"Hehe, I will be going then, Fort Master." Shizu bows as she also departs.
Hearing their conversation, Shen made a discovery; 'The Fort Master is a woman?'
But before he could think some more, a voice follows.
"You may come in now, but please remove your shoes."
Shen couldn't think anymore as he removes his shoes and replies: "Yes."
As soon as Shen enters the house, he felt this eerie vibe going on as the pressure kept increasing by the second he goes in, but since he has permission from the owner of the house, he's somewhat relaxed.
But as soon as Shen is in front of another door, the pressure dwindles to nothing and the voice sounds again.
"You may come in."
"Yes." Shen responded as he opens the door slowly, but with every centimeter opening, Shen felt a powerful surge of energy brushing past on top of his skin.
As Shen fully opens the door, he finds himself bewildered, shocked, astounded, paralyzed, and mesmerized.
In front of Shen is a beautiful girl looking at him with eyes changing from a human's and a cat's pupil at will. Her long glistening purple hair, eyes as sad as the dusking sun sky, and skin as white as snow.
But what Shen felt more shocked about is her stats.
"Hello, I`m the Fort Master of this place, Sumiren Nyna, they also call me the shadowless onslaught." Nyna smiled beautifully but the fear in Shen's eyes and the blush on his cheeks are not fading away.
