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
