An additional plot
Company. Family legacy. Ruin.All these words; were they not too big for that joy she attended to? The boy she brought back from the edges of death? It felt a little too much to consider that. The responsibility that groaned heavily on the back of the little boy.That was what he was to her. A boy who needed love and attention. Which unfortunately was not what he got.Dt Erebosa May sighed heavily. People who were starved from their family attention always tended to go into vices. They had an affinity with trouble. It was one of the problems of modern society. The modern society issue was that parents would get so guys. They would get so busy they did not keep checks and tabs on the lives of their kids. Then one day? The kids snap. And when they snap, the society has to bear the ruin for it. For the vices the kids have tk take upon would inevitably be visited upon the society. The society is suffering for the sins of some misguided parents.His parents just had to give him love, sh
“Hm” The soft wheezing of Frank matched the rhyme jor the car engine. They had been out all night. And finally, he could not be anymore grateful for the fact they were returning back home. It was such a long ride but he did not mind the distance it took. So far they’d get home. And then he’d settle for a hot bath.The chatter of his parents in the front seat did not bother him. He was far from home for him to notice. Their vehicle hummed along the path, the deserted road as they went home. Their speed trailed high enough such that if there was a traffic police on the road here, they’d pull them over.Still, all was well that went well. This was what he liked to think. Unfortunately, today was not one of those days.With soft breaths, his eyelids blinked, they threatened to shut out his vision. His subconscious fought hard against that. He had to stay awake. He loved to stay awake. Since he’d grown up, he had taken it upon himself to ensure that his parents were alright. It did not mat
“Ack!” Frank gasped as his eyes flipped open.He was back in the present. And about him, state of the art medical equipment continued to beep every now and then.He exhaled. His chest felt the painful wheeze, making him squeeze his face in a grimace. It was painful.But that did not bother him. What mattered was one question. Where was here?He closed his eyes now. The pain in his head spread out all over. Most likely a migraine. He knew better than to raise his head just like that. He felt an itch in his right arm but since he could not move, he ignored it. His lips twitched as they tried to mitigate his whimpering over the pains.He exhaled once more. He had a flashback to the first day he used his system.The first day he realized that he had been cursed. And that guess was it from heaven. He came down here with the hopes he would find a way to remove it. Unfortunately for him; Things did not go the way he hoped.Now, he has been dragged into a fight. Although he was mostly curiou
“Tch!” Frank sighed.Life was unfair to Frank. Just when he thought he had everything going for him, he had his first two subjects killed while he struggled with sleep in the back. While he woke to the aftermath. Perhaps, if the blood of his parents did not splatter to his face, he would have continued to sleep. Now, he was only trying to understand how tog place himself in this new world he found. And then life struck again. He lost his hand. Almost as if a bad luck streak was following him, so far.He shut his eyes, shut out the pain. He was numb to the tears that rolled down his face. He felt nothing. But his body still grieved. He felt the initial pinches of aches down his arm. Where his hand ought to be. But after that, it was no more.He felt nothing. Life was obviously not designed for people like him to enjoy. It was designed in the way that he would only get hurt no matter what he did.And even if he did not get hurt, he would end up getting others hurt. And to be honest, Fr
“And that, my friend, is how you do it!” A voice sounded just outside the door of the ward. It spoked the curiosity of Lekan as he heard it.His eyes widened in a flash, his instaibfts kicking out. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his skin as a sense of dread overlapped him.But before he could make a move…Light flashed. KA-BOOOOOOOOMMMM!The resulting force of the explosion rammed against him. It flung him for the bed wuth sudden mommegtim, slamming his mass against the IV stand and the wall. He gasped for breath, the bed alps dashing into the air.“Ah!” Lekan exhaled.His chest rose heavily as he gasped for breath. His eyes widening, Just ahead of him, smoke cleared. The shattered entrance to the ward door revealing some figures standing and staring at him. Each of them had a smile.And amongst the lot of them, only two of them appeared to be familiar.Was that the Whip?And that girl? The girl who kissed him the last time they saw each other. The last time they fought.the new f
The loud thumping in his ears told him he was ready. The sound of his heartbeat reboundeing against his rib cage accentuated that claim. His limbs shivered with ethereal might. His muscles condensed and expanded, taking in more of the demonic presence. It ate up the power that made him more than a threat for them on a one to one matchup.However when faced by all of them; That would not be the outcome. He knew it. He could not risk it. He hardly knew the limits of his system and already he would not take it far in this battle. Chip them off one by one. Prevent them from banding together. Though he greatly doubted their ability to band together. The harmony Leslie and that boy shared was missing amongst these ones. They were ragtag group of murderers. And he was their target. Still, he would not give them that benefit of doubt. His eyes quickly scanned the entire room. The first one in reach was none other than her.The girl who kissed him during the last encounter.Lekan snarled, hi
The wind filtered in behind him. The smell of burnt out matter rose steadily in the air. It reminded him of the state of things he was in. His ward had almost been obliterated to bits by the grenade launcher. And it was strange that nobody had come to the area yet. Maybe they had, but on the sight of these men, they chose to wait on the side of caution. Caution which he was barely hanging on to now. It was what kept him at bay. It constantly reminded him of how dangerous these guys were. He’d tried his best. But it wasn't enough. Still, there was nobody here but him. The only one to buy his salvation was him and nobody else. And today, he was not going to go down. Not by these men Not by the system Bureau. He’d run them down. Brutalize their whole existence for even bothering him. His eyes blazed with intense hatred as he watched them. There is the moment of respite they enjoyed now. And while they used it to strategize or understand him, he used it to catch his breath. And to we
Lekan grimaced, staggering backwards. He wanted more. He ached for more. His body roared in anger as the heat increased within his chest. He thundered with a threatening roar. His body exploded forward. The smile from the Returning Man told him that this was it. This was a defining moment. Their fists sailed towards one another. But Lekan was faster. With one tilt to the left side, his right arm smacked down on the offending hand. The yell of pain and surprise encouraged him. Blood red vision before him, he groaned, nothing would stop him. Vindication thundered within his heart. It propelled him forward, lifting his knee up into the air. And a second later, the kene angled forward, smashing right into the solar plexus of the Returning man. The Returning Man buckled under the pain. Never did he think that he would be outsmarted.The prided himself as being the one who had the system that did this to others. Not had this played out to him. To see the sudden up in the switch o
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
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. This
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
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
