That went dark, fast!
“Yikes!” Dayo muttered, scratching the back of his head as he leaned back. “That went dark, pretty fast.” He laughed shortly.“What? I thought you wanted to hear it?” Frank asked him. Then they shared a laugh. A short one albeit. Frank sighed at this. Maybe he was not that bad, this man who was with him. It occurred to him then that he did not even know his name. The name of the one man who put him down was not known to him. At least, for the feat he pulled out that day in stopping him, he had to know who he was.Though he had to admit, his face was very unfamiliar to him. Not like he knew a lot of people. Something about him just scream he was not from around here. And to that, he was very curious. He cleared his throat and then clasped his hands, wiping off the smug look from his face.“Are you from around here? I don’t think I know your name, sir.” He said.“Why does that matter?” Dayo laughed at him. Then he straightened up, after seeing the dead serious look on the face of Fr
It took a lot of convincing to get her to agree with him. It got to the time when he was so sure he’d leave without her. That is, he would have to leave her in the house. It just hit him wrongly to have her remain in the house while he was out there. And for that reason, Lekan kept on insisting. Finally, the reluctance of Favor wore out as he shut the door behind them. She had a blue short on, tight to her body and a white spaghetti top on. Then she wore a balck jacket on her body to cover the rest of her. Alongside with a black sun shades was a bit too much in his own opinion. But he would not judge her. After all, it took a lot to get her out in the first place. Why then would he ruin it to tell her that her fashion sense was a bit too much in this case? He just wanted to be out there. To get something, anything that would trigger his visions. That was the reason for steering her out on his own path. On her own path, she was stepping out to catch some fresh air and get
“Look, let me get something straight about this.” Favor clapped her hands as she exhaled now. “You say you want to get there and then we get your phone and we move, right?” “Yes, test it.” Lekan affirmed her words. “You know that is a terrible idea, you know, right?” “No, I said that we just met my phone and then we pop out of there. Your mum won't even know that we left the house, remember? That's the plan here.” Lekan said, pulling her into him. She was confused. Worried. She was scared of what would occur if her mom got her at the hospital. That much was clear from all the fighting she put up now. There was no time on his part. No time for him to continue with this conversion. For the most part,he did not know how to engage her in such a way. He just wanted her to agree with him but there was nothing he could do in this case. Without his phone he had no means of getting money It was not like he could just go to the company and ask them to give him some money or whatnot
Lekan harrumphed as he got out of the car. Once he was outside, the person of Favor moved to the driver and paid for their cab fare. He stood, sighing deeply as he pondered over what he had just seen. Was he now turning insane? It Was hard to say. One thing he did know was that he was sure that he saw the blonde behind them. If the blondie was out at the same time when he decided to come to the hospital, what did that say for him? He sighed again, for teh umpteeenth time. His mind decided against going into the hospital. It no longer looked feasible for him. At least, until he could find a way around this. He looked at Favor who in turn returned the look at him. There was a question in her eyes. There was always a question in the eyes of Favor. Only that this time, she was silent about it. And he was grateful for that act. There was so much he did not understand. The best she could do about that, was not to bombard him with queries. Not that it would matter once they g
“Well…” Lekan sucked air through his teeth as his muscles tensed up now. He was getting sick and tired of this constant battering of words and queries from Favor already. If he did not act like that before, he was sure showing it all out now. It was very annoying to him. Knowing fully well that he already suggested an alternative for her. They could go home. She did not have to be here but she did not take it. Yet, she was whining at him. Which direction was thispontless battery of words and questions going to head towards now? Whatever it was that it was headed to, he was not liking it. “What do you want me to say?” He barked at her, throwing his hands in the air. She leaned back in shock. For a split moment, it felt as if she was going to cry. But she adjusted herself, tensing up as well. She bit her lower lip out as she glared at him now, transforming the sadness that squeezed her face into a glare that threatened to devour him on spot. However,he was not moved by
THOOOM! “Ugh!” Lekan buckled over immediately as the air was sucked right out of his belly. He bent over, intestines threatening to pop out. Instinctively, his hand went to his throat, stopping the flow of whatever was going to rush out.He heaved bitterly, taking some seconds to get himself. Then he lifted his body up, his eyes widened as shock registered over his face. He was no more at the hospital. He was in the more familiar place that came with the system.“Host should decline from giving the blood demon blood baths.” The system lady came into focus now.Lekan frowned at her. He was in his soul space but he did not know how he got here. This was another thing he was yet to figure out in his journey to understand the system. Once he did that, he’d know how to come into the System Sub Space and ask his queries that troubled his heart. However, just as he was about to speak, he saw the visage of the blood demon behind the system lady. He rose, sinisterly, a large unsettling smile
Void scowled, stomping his feet on the ground now with a frustrated groan.“No, really. Fuck this story!” Lekan was beyond words as he stared at Void. The way he bellowed out his rage set him thinking: What if this blondie went crazy on him? He was worried. So far, since they had met up, things never went the way of diplomacy. And considering that there was. A girl waiting for him to return this time, he was concerned. What if the battle went the way that he neither expected it and in the end, he put her in danger’s path?His heart missed a beat as he considered the possibility of this. But that was not the only thought that flushed through his mind at this time. He pondered over the reaction of the Void. About how he was acting this way and charging up like this.What story was he talking about?He frowned. He just wanted to break free from his hand. He just wanted to just break free from here.He sighed now. “What has that to do with me?” Lekan frowned at him. Void wasnt holdi
The sounds of body falling to hits rapped through the air. The entire atmosphere is cloudy, dust here and there while there are sounds of rapid movement at intervals. In the center of it is the person of Doctor Dembe. A younger version of him without all of the body fat. He had a snarl on his face, his two hands to the sides of him. Whilst all around him are the bodies of fallen System Hosts. And System Guards with their complete tactical gears for battle. It signified the state of how things had degenerated so badly within the System Bureau. So much that they would have to resolve their disagreement with battling it out. There are pillars all about. Pillars that once held up the decking of what would be a storeyed building. Unfortunately, aftermath of the disagreement between the System Hosts led to most of them being broken and dashed to bits. Only a very few still stood up. And even those that stood, neither of them had the decking which they once supported existing again. The
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
