New Skills“What about the remaining three things?” Eli asked.“Second agenda on the list is obviously for you guys to gather as many resources as possible. Focus on the things that won't be available anymore once the apocalypse begins. We can take care of the rest later.”“Noted. I'll prepare the list as soon as possible.” Eli said, his eyes filled with determination. I smiled, I like how he was taking all of this seriously, he'll need at least that much to be able to seat on the council.“For the next two agendas, we need to locate two people, they are both very crucial to this operation. The first on the list is Hana Goradit, she is a scientist at Celestial enterprise. Belamir, you think you can get her info?”“Yes, I should.”“There's also Nikita.”“Nikita? The illusive and eccentric blacksmith?” Belamir asked.“Yes, you know her?”“She's very popular on the dark web, she's wanted by lots of organizations. It's said that her craftsmanship is out of the world, dude, I don't think I
New Member:“Johanne, that was dangerous, what happened!” I chuckled as Eli bandaged my arms, the burn damages were much. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the apocalypse had already happened because of the presence of healers but now, I couldn't even go to the hospital.Moreover these burn marks were not child's play, I just hope that whatever mutated radiation was in that pit wouldn't be as deadly now that we are away from it.“It was a close call, the radiation was really something else, but there's no need to worry, your big bro is awesome.” I gently touched Eli's head, I could tell he was really worried. It was already shocking that he wasn't too bothered by the end of the world, probably due to my presence.“Even still,... it hurts seeing you like this. The apocalypse hasn't even started yet and you aren't as strong as you used to be, I can't even imagine what might happen when the apocalypse is finally here.”“Hey,” I raised Eli's head to look at me, “I will always come back
FIERY PIT “Apocalypse? What do you mean?” Belamir questioned but I wasn't in the mood to reply to him. I glanced at Eli,“I'll be right back, keep him in check.” I took a step into the kaleidoscope and began filtering through the dimensions in search of the coordinates Jason had given.This was one of the disadvantages of this ability, when it came to places I had no impression of or have never been to, it became quite hard to locate them just by using dimensions. If only I could remodel the ability. I thought I would have enough time to make all of my initial plans and have extra to train before the apocalypse but with how fast it's approaching,....I couldn't even imagine how much slower the process would have been if I didn't have Eli taking inventory and most of the planning.It took quite a while, although there was no sense of time, or rather, the sense of time in the kaleidoscope was distorted, that didn't mean the same was true for the real world. It took almost a minute bef
CALL FOR HELP I appeared in a dark alley, looked around and adjusted my clothes. I walked out of the alley, my vox —the two way radio, Eli thought it was too stressful to call it a two way radio so we decided to use vox. I don't know what's wrong with good ol' walkie talkie— was strapped to my waist and my phone was in my pocket.I walked out of the alley and joined the crowd on the pavement. As I walked, I couldn't help but think of the fact that I'm two weeks time, probably even sooner than that, eighty percent of those in this street will be dead. Yet no one knew.I wouldn't mind telling them, but humans are complicated beings. Some won't believe me, some would see this as an outlet for chaos and others will see it as a chance to manipulate people.I've seen firsthand how greedy humans are, I'm one of the greedier ones after all. Which is why as I walked through the crowd, I tuned them all out, knowing that some of them would probably kill me for something as small as a bottle of
LIFE IN AN APOCALYPSE Laramie was more than a strategist, she was a fighter and I mean that literally. If this was an ancient time, she would be a commander, and to make it even better, Laramie awakened a relatively powerful special ability as a special anomaly; aura manipulation.Aura manipulation enabled Laramie to manipulate her aura, infusing emotions into it to affect her surroundings. It might sound pretty weak but know that killing intent isn't real, it's just a feeling. Now imagine if it was real, if it materialized into the real world and you could feel one's intent to kill touching your skin? Now imagine if one could infuse an army with that same intense intent to kill, making them all hate you and much as you hate them. Laramie was one of a kind.And the reason this was all possible, the reason why she awakened was because of the trauma her father's death caused her.I didn't immediately notice, and if not for how sad she was and me piecing in the fact that time seemed to
STRATEGIST I appeared at an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere with Eli beside me. This time, although his face was pale, he wasn't throwing up.Eli looked around, “this is where the daughter of the governor stays?” He asked with a smirk,“Of course not. This is an abandoned warehouse. I never thought I would get the coordinates right.”“What are we doing here?” Eli asked as we both walked forward. I pushed the door open and revealed the inside of the warehouse. It could only be described as vast. It was very large.“This,...this is where you are going to work for the next twenty four hours. It will be pretty hectic.”“What is it I'm supposed to do? The place is empty.”I reached out and shapes began to take form. In the blink of an eye, everything that was in my dimensional storage appears in the warehouse. I've only managed to fill up less than one tenth of it hence the warehouse could contain it all.“Woah!” Eli exclaimed. He looked impressed. “I thought you were exagger
HASTE This! This can't be possible! What's wrong? Is the timeline speeding up? Because of me and my actions? I thought that was just some sci-fi nonsense.Eli looked at me, I could tell from his gaze that he had guessed the same thing. I sighed and looked at Jason, my gaze as serious as possible.“What's going on? Who are you and how do you know the world is about to end?” Jason asked. I could tell from his voice that there was a seed of belief within him which was a good sign.“I can't tell you how I know, you'll just have to take my word for it.” I began. I stood up and began to walk around, arranging my thoughts.“It was supposed to begin a month from now, exactly thirty days. The humidity of earth will suddenly increase, the temperature skyrocketing. The space research centers confirmed that the ozone layer had mutated, filtering in UV rays that have evolved and causing serious damage to earth. This was the first sign.”“But we found the changes first!” Jason said absentmindedly.
PRELUDE “Take this,” I reach into my dimensional storage and brought out a wrapped burger, handing it to Eli. We were in the lift of the company. We obviously didn't enter through the front door, I directly transported Eli and I into the lift.I would have directly traveled to his office but I had to be careful, a lot of things could go wrong. And also, Eli advised against it, like he knew that was exactly what I was going to do.Eli looked at me with amazement as he collected the burger and I couldn't help but blush. I missed the look of adoration.“This is really cool! How did you do it?” He asked, already unwrapping the burger to take a bite.“I am a special space anomaly. I had many talents but I'm currently down to only two; dimensional traveling and dimensional storage.”“I see. So you can travel through dimensions and store things in your own space? That's awesome! Can I see?” Eli asked. He made sure to chew before talking.“Unfortunately, only non living things can go in ther
“Why are you doing this?” Maria asked, tears streaming down her face. Every single ounce of confidence and her silly sense of superiority were all gone, all that was left was a deep seated fear that made body tremble.I like it, because now, I was sure she was scared of me. But I also hated it, because it angered me to know that she could have this kind of expression and feel this kind of fear after she unhesitatingly threw my brother into the hands of shamblers.“Tell me what happened to my parents.” I asked again on a cold tone.“Johanne, what's wrong?” Eli asked and I looked at him. I was a bit surprised that he wasn't more scared, or at least even if he was, he was doing a good job hiding it. “Is it true? Did you really do to the future? How did you vanish from behind me?”“Eli, I'll explain everything later, but before then, I want you to bear with me and see this through, because soon, you'll be seeing more things like this.”“Torture and blood?” Eli asked,“No, a lot worse.”“T
