2024-10-29 19:42:56For a moment or two, the room was silent.
The only persistent sounds being Lekan's slow breathing and the confused panicked breaths for Blessing. It continued for s long as long as could be and if what happened had not happened, it would have been the most magical.
However, a strange occurrence had happened, none of them could therefore sense the magic in the air It was alien to them, their minds pounding with all sorts of fear and thoughts.
Lekan could just barely stabilize himself now. What he had seen, he could make no sense out of it. What was it? It was startling or maybe it was because of the fact that he had been mourning his parents. Perhaps, that had to be it for he could not understand what that visage was.
Blessing would never slap him so then why was that?
He did not want to think that there was really anything that was beyond the physical in the room. He did not even want to think that way because he was not sure.
But still, he could not just override the thought that he had felt the solidity of that visage. It felt so eerie and chilly. And the fear he had felt, he swallowed dryly, the memory haunting him. And to make matters worse, the ghost, it spoke to him. It freaking spoke to him.
His heart pounded continuously, hammering violently against his rib cage. His lungs exerted themselves trying to keep with his rampaging heart. Succeeding in amping his breathing quickly in passing seconds. His mouth hung open now, to keep up with the increasing demand for the oxygen by his lungs as his face began to pale up once again.
Just then, two gentle taps reached his face alongside with a gentle shake of his face. And that did it. The fear build up inside of him broke up immediately. Blessing's face was relieving. It made him forget his worries in a heart beat.
"Stop it. You're scaring me, Lekan!" Blessing said to him.
Lekan blinked his eyes as he looked at her now. He closed his lips and then hugged her tight. As he did that, Blessing's eyes widened now. She gasped but did not attempt to pull out of the hug he held her in.
In her mind, she was ecstatic.
Still, she could not help but wonder what was going on with Lekan. The way he acted previously had spooked her up to the max. She could not help but feel a tinge of fear that he was losing his mind. If that happened, would that mean that she would miss her only dearest friend to the pangs of insanity?
And then again, if that did come true and after a medical examination, Lekan was then admitted to a hospital. In reality, she knew she would not have access to seeing him then. Her family were not rich, rich enough to place them on an equal footing with Lekan family and by the reason of Lekan's status quo, only the best hospital would be procured for him.
The best hospital would mean that an ordinary person like her would not have access to such a place. If she could not get to see him then, knowing how he was, then …
No, no no… She would not get to see him and this was the first time she was getting to see him. Which was even because of the fact that his boarding school had closed for the term, unlike hers.
No, she could not think like that. Why was she imagining that her Lekan was missing a nut and a bolt. Even if he was, then she should never think like that of him.
No, she chided herself mentally, she could not think that way. She had to be positive. This was her friend and even though things may have been tough for him, it did not give her the right to panic and think things like this.
Her Lekan would definitively be alright and there was no other way about it. But then, his Uncle when she saw him had told her that Lekan had been shutting himself up for a while now. that not mean that he was nearing his limits? And now, he was staring deep into space and reaching for her, while his eyes were not really there.
It was scary, she had to admit. It was all so scary and she wished she could help to make things lighter for him. Or perhaps, if she could offer to get him out of this place, maybe for a while, then things may just return to normal for Lekan.
"Please… Lekan… Be fine!" She cried now, hugging him tight even as her jaw dug into the right hand shoulder of Lekan.
"I am sorry, bles. I don't know what happened. But I think… I think I saw an image…. Something scary like…" Lekan tried to speak about what he had seen but then he could not find the words to state exactly what had happened.
"The image of your parents incident, right? I know…" Blessing said, hugging him tighter now. "I know it must be hard for you. I really do know and I am sorry you had to witness all of that." She said.
Lekan grimaced now. The bear hug that Blessing was giving him was beginning to get really uncomfortable. "Easy, princess…"
He muttered, shaking his head. Now that he tried to tell her about what had happened, she just assumed he was having flashbacks. Perhaps, it was not really up to him to do that now. Perhaps, it was just for his own sight alone and his own thoughts alone. He did not have to tell her what he had seen. If there was anything about that, he knew he had to try his best to find out what it was all about.
He did not believe in coincidences, after all.
"You know, what, slow down on the hug!" Lekan said and then began to push out against Blessing.
She did not want that however, and tried to push back against her. But just as she began to resist, Lekan began to tickle her with both hands.
She giggled and then voluntarily left him, scrambling away from his touch. He did not let her just go lie that. With a smile, he scrambled after her, crawling as he laughed.
"Hehehe… Stop, stop…" Blessing resisted, kicking him away with her legs. As she did that, the hem of her skirt began to shift upwards but it was no matter to them. The two of them were really close friends.
"What….. You think you can just come and hug me to death…" Lekan winked… "Hell, no, I will tickle you to the beyond. Muhhahahahah!"
Blessing laughed and then pushed and kicked. Lekan followed, using his hands to wedge off her legs as he tried to gain in on her. The issues of the time before totally forgotten. At least, for the now.
Sir_ImpeccableHer skirt??? Wahhhhh??? Lekan is having a hella of a show here. And hes not even paying for it. Lol.

"What….. You think you can just come and hug me to death…" Lekan winked. "Hell, no, I will tickle you to the beyond. Muhhahahahah!" Blessing laughed. A cheery one. Then pushed and kicked. Lekan followed, using his hands to wedge off her legs in an attempt to gain on her. A wild smile on his face as he worked with his hands. The issues of the time before totally forgotten. At least, for now. "Okay, okay... stop, stoppppp..." Blessing laughed, shaking her arms and her legs in a fit of laughter. Lekan did ease up now as he saw how she vibrated. He leaned backwards and she jerked then, shaking her head as she kept on laughing. "No... no... hahahah... " Blessing laughed. "Stoppppp." "I didn't do anything now, did I?" Lekan replied with an ear to ear grin on his face. "I was only leaving you alone." He laughed at her. "who knew you're such a scaredy cat?" "Heheh... it's not that!" Blessing disagreed. She hugged her legs with a coy smile on her face. "Its just... I don't trust you,
Blood Domination System 11. A flirty Guardian
The gate to house opened just then as a man wearing ashgray trousers, black sneakers and a white vest stepped in. The gate was black and towering, having a fence topped by electric wiring with a notification that read 'stay away; high voltage' His hair was short, black in color and seemed to be a bit dishevelled at the moment. Opening the pedestrian door a bit longer now, a lady wearing some skimpy gown of yellow stepped in, wearing an amused smile on her face. She had cornrows on her head, the color being black and yellow. She had her complexion to be tanned and a mole just below her left eye. The gown which she had on was spaghetti in style, two crossing strands of material which looped at back of her neck and then a set of those material threads looping at the back two. The length of the gown was just by her hips side and on her feet, she had high robed gladiator sandals of brown color, holding a purse of yellow close to her body with the left hand. She put a hand forward, that
Blood Domination System 12. A Discourse with Guardian
"what's happening?" Dorothy said, looking back at him. "I'm coming... Just need to check on something " He said and then raced his way forward to where the sounds of sobbing were coming from. First things first, Desmond sighed to himself, he had to make sure that everything was alright. He was been worried about the one who he had to take into guidance now. While it was understandable that the boy had lost his parents and thus would be have fits such as this, he was really worried that he may have let that get to the person who had come in to visit. When he was leaving the house, earlier, he had been frustrated. It was not too long since he had to leave his own house and his own life to come here, in the status of a guardian to the son of his late brother. It was not long enough and so, it was normal that people would be watching him. After all, he had been the brother who had not been seen around the family since the time that his brother had decided to cut ties with him. Based o
Blood Domination System 13. A dirty Undertaking
Lekan whistled as he moved from the ironing table to the wardrobe now. It was just some hours since Blessing had left. Actually, it was another another day, although with the difference of not more than 12 hours in between. Compared to other times, his mood was improved now. He moved to the wardrobe and whistled, putting a finger to his lips as he paused, trying to remember what he had wanted to get in the first place. Shirtless with only a pair of trousers, black on his lower half, Lekan nodded his head harmoniously to the rhythm of the music booming out from the mini music player speaker which was on the table. As if lit by inspiration, he opened the two doors of the wardrobe and then pulled out a shirt from the one with the hanger compartment. He held the shirt and then looked at the vintage styled design of it for a few moments. And after he was done with the observation, his head still nodding to the boom of music, he tossed it to the Queen Sized bed which was behind him. After
Blood Domination System 14. The Girl Named Leslie
“Ha!” The girl in the black jumpsuit roared as her feet bounced off the ground. Landing a few steps to the right, she smiled, her white skin reflecting the light and warmth. It revealed the radiance in the heart of this young girl. She held her two hands in front of her. Her blonde hair wafting softly from side to side even as the wind teased it. Her feet were placed, the right in front while the left was placed behind it. Just a little bit. “How long do you think you can really hold out against me? I am the Queen of the Combat Facility.” She smirked. The person whom she was speaking to frowned, his bushy eyebrows knitting closely at his forehead. He breathed hard, fisting his hands as he stared daggers at her, unmoving while his eyes loooked left and right. The place where the two combatants stood was one of a kind. It was a circular platform which had just three pillars at adjacent ends. The ground was lined with circular carvings. And right at the center of it was the insig
Blood Domination System 15. The Most Feared Word
The taxi screeched to a halt in front of the campus of the school and Lekan heaved. It was a relief that he could actually get fresh air to breathe, fresh air which was not the same air that his Uncle Desmond would be breathing. He felt a strange rush of emotions well up in his body just then, as the Uber driver looked back to him and then informed him about their ride destination being reached. For a moment or two, he did not answer, neither did he move. He just stared up ahead, looking at the Uber driver who wore a blue baseball cap, white vest and black jeans. There was an aroma of scented mints in the car and the air conditioning was doing a good job in delivering the extra chill in the air to it/. Lekan took in an inhalation of air, allowing the mint scented air to settle against his lungs. It was refreshing in a way, he wanted to stay but then again, he could not stay. He had come down here because he had something which he wanted to do. And also because of the fact that being
Blood Domination System 16. Leslie's Assignment
Too much of everything is bad! Even attention. As Leslie jumped down from the fighting ring, her expression squeezed up immediately. She did not like the face of Professor BumJu, nor did anyone like the fact that he was around. He had the taste of bad moods and bad everything else. And she was naturally good. Too good he did not seem to leave her alone. Shaking her head, showing her face, she looked up to the giant features of Prof Bumju. Just like her, he was a full white man, his curly brown hair pressed down on his head as he pocketed. “You know, you don't have to give me that hated look.” He scoffed, looking to the ground. “Of course. If only everyone liked you, then I would do that.” Leslie smiled at him, only to turn to the other side with a frown. “Hm!’ Prof BumJu stopped now. He looked at her, letting a small smile break through his face. “I like you. You are feisty.” “And I don't like it. Why can't you just leave me alone?” She said to him, pouting at his face.
Blood Domination System 17. The Thief's Punishment
Seeing this, the man did not waste time now. He simply huffed and then brought his foot down on the head of Lekan, smashing his jaw into the hard concrete ground. Blood splattered about just then as teeth from the inner dentition rolled out to the ground. Lekan saw stars. Or the equivalent of them. With shut eyes, light twinkling against the blank that pulled up in his mind's eye. The pain rammed against his body, setting him ablaze with several emotions running rampant. His life flashed before his eyes now. Gritting, the pain mercilessly tore through his body like a beast on a prowl. His life flashed before his eyes in the fleeting moment, the fear of death stinging viciously in his mind. Lekan pondered on just how it was going to play out. Like it was general knowledge, those who got to be labeled as thieves did not often get to live for long. At least, not when the mob was allowed to do what they wanted to do. The rare cases where the mob did not get the upper hand was whe

His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink. In this time, he saw himself on the ground and a council which held over his head. They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand

Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he

268. Reunion and the New Threat II
Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor

She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would

Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face.

His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir

The moment he got to know about the invasion of demons in this place; the first thing he did was to find a way to reach Leslie. He pretty much was trying to find his way about things in this place. And the only one who had shown the willingness to show his way around was none other than Leslie. Frank heaved as he held his right arm. It has healed over the time since the last time he had to get physical with anybody. And thankfully, there had been no cause for him to get involved with any fight. That is, he assumed Lee Min must have learnt his humility and then stayed to himself afterwards. He smiled to himself over this thought now. In the time past, he never did see himself as someone who would have to avenge anybody but now, it was becoming sort of his motto. Not like he was complaining about it. After all, the responsibilities of a King were numerous. And he had to exact them with the proper justice that was needed for each situation he found himself in. “What do we do?” HE

263. The Three Demon Titans
Power in the hands of chaotic beings is just a lower sample of hell. The demons surged about, numerous in their numbers as they screeched and roared. The unlucky humans who got up in their paths were gobbled up, eaten and then regurgitated as pieces of bones and blood. Fear gripped the ranks of the Bureau. In all their times of weidling systems, they never did expect to run into something like this. It has always been about fighting humans. Humans who would go against the way of things of the Bureau. Those who would flaunt the order of things. Those who would would want to thwart the general agenda of the Bureau. Never about things of this proportion. Never about misshapen beings that looked like a hybrid of several creatures. Black with wings, baleful eyes of red with poor patchwork of muscles over long bones for the ones who walked. Those ones measured several meters high, even as much as 8ft tall. The ones who flew were the smaller ones. Having the likelihood to apes, flying

Helen sighed, patting the black crop top she had on. The action brought focus to her belly button,the size of a water drop, externally. . It was slightly larger than normal. A phenomenon which was referred to as ‘dodo’ by his country's people. Oftentimes it was used as a term for light hearted mockery. But sighting it on her, the confidence at which she exuded even with it being exposed, it triggered him sexually. He loved her personality. The way she carried herself even though she knew she was not the best. But still had some air of confidence, as well as a bit of empathy. The fact that instead of leaving outrightly with him, she stayed behind to let him clear his head was lovable. Unlike someone who knew. The person of Lady Beatrice. She cared very less whether you’re anted to be teleported or not. As long as she had you in mind to transport, that was what she carried out. Consent or not. “You.” A raspy voice sounded now. It had a tone that spoke of humor and at the same time m
