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
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
Spatial Lock:Knock knockI got up from my plank position all sweaty and smelly as I stared at Eli who entered the room. I created a small room for myself in the storage building where I can work out. In my past life, I was really powerful but I wasn't at my full potential. Of course I didn't know this back then, I only realized it now.One of the things that held me back was my skills. I was a good fighter and a very experienced anomaly, but my skills weren't refined. My spatial abilities were extremely powerful and brute force dealt with almost every problem.But these past days, I've realized that if I was able to fine tune my abilities even more, I might become so much more powerful than before and maybe then, I'll be able to defeat this apocalypse before it got too bad.Another thing that affected me was my physique, I was so busy fighting and struggling for food, I had no time to train my body and it affected me most times in battle. If not for how powerful spatial abilities wer
Test Subject:“I think it suits you perfectly sir.” The old steward spoke in a flattering tone. I stared at the mirror, a smile on my face. I was wearing a black three piece suit, perfectly fitted. A pair of Oxford shoes and an expensive watch to match the look.I was like the CEO of one large organization, which wasn't too far fetched seeing as I was on my way there. Now that I will be visiting more people as the leader and representative of my organization, I thought I needed to dress the part.In my previous life, I always envied the leaders of sanctuaries. The way their coats flapped in the wind, the way they carried themselves, everything about them was amazing. And now I got to be like them, no, I got to be better, because unlike them, I was young and good looking.I walked out of the room, past the old steward and towards a mannequin I saw earlier when I walked in, it was a female mannequin dressed in a suit, for some reason, I couldn't help but picture Laramie in it.I reache
Mastermind:I remained silent for a while, a lot of thoughts running through my head. I thought of just destroying the place and saving Hana but that was impossible, for now. I also thought of telling them I had abilities and asking to meet with the mastermind behind all this, that way I could request to see the facility where the experiments were taking place and rescue Hana but I also decided against it.I wanted to save Hana, but my hands were currently tied. Moreover, for some reason I was getting this feeling that there would be more than one awakened anomaly in that facility and if that was the case, I might not be able to save them all.Most of the people I knew were those that became famous or those that I worked with. This didn't mean that they were the only powerful ones, it just meant they were the ones that could survive long enough.Which was why I was curious about those that might have been captured with Hana, they might be very useful to my cause. And if they weren't,
The Sanctuary: “How many of you are here?” I asked,“What do you mean?” The lady said, trying to act ignorant. I looked around at the remaining strangers who remained quiet, there were seven of them in total, there were two females and four males; one bulky, one fatty, one nerdy and one skinny.I glanced at Belamir and gave him a look, what's with the distinct traits? He shrugged and I raised a brow, I was surprised he understood.“There's five of them,” I glanced at Eli, “I saw them having a meeting. Jacob and JoJo are the only stand-alones.”“The nerd and the other girl?” I asked as I glanced at the girl in question, she was also a young adult, like the nerd, and pretty too. I should have guessed as much, ladies that like to be in charge, especially ones like this one tend to dislike pretty younger girls.“What should I address you as?” I asked the lady but she remained silent. She seemed to be sizing me up, it seemed funny. She wasn't even the smallest but qualified.“She’s Smith
Spatial Node.“The Sanctuary?” I asked Eli. Everyone had dispersed by now, we all had work to do so it wouldn't be wise to keep wasting time doing nothing. We can rest once the apocalypse begins, well maybe not.Eli and I were in my small space, I wanted to meditate on how to apply the kaleidoscope to my abilities, the way I saw it, the kaleidoscope was my own personal space.“What? You don't like it?” Eli asked.“After the apocalypse began, people called the places that became strongholds for humanity sanctuaries. For one of them to be bold enough to claim to be ‘The Sanctuary’, it will make people blow their fuse when they find out.”“I should change it.”“Nah, I love it.” I ruffled Eli's head. “We'll be staying in the low when the apocalypse begins, away from prying eyes, at least until we have enough anomalies in case anyone wants to wage war, or until I unlock enough of my abilities.”Eli nodded his head.“I'm going into meditation, I'll be back soon but you won't be able to conta
Nikita “Who are you?” The feminine voice filtered into my ears. My eyes widened, not out of fear, although I was a little scared but if worse came to worse, I could just warp away, although I might collapse due to the strain, it was better than dying.No, the reason why my eyes widened was due to two reasons, the first was because of the voice itself, it was soft and cold, almost ethereal, like snow itself, but it was also young. I never met Nikita in my past life, I only heard about her which was why I assumed she must at least be well along her years.I knew that she was skilled and only a young person could handle being a blacksmith but that was when looking at things logically, in a world with anomalies and Shamblers, logic was just another joke of the universe. But now that I'm hearing her voice, I could see why she was so well known for being stubborn, after all, elderly ladies tend to avoid troubles.The second reason was how calm she was. A normal person wouldn't even come ne
