Palo smoked a pipe of cigar as he looked at Eduardo putting a camp fire inside the forest.

"Eduardo, Do you wanna hear a story?"

"Yes, did the campfire set your mood right or something?"

"No, it's just that both of us can't sleep at night and my mind starts to think straight in the night"

"Haha, so what is this about?", Eduardo inquired.

"You asked me, why would I ever want a favour from someone like them who is completely unrelated to me didn't you?"

"Yeah, it is strange of you to have accepted the request from the matrix."

"You know this world, it's unfair for us there are few really powerful people that contain some stuff that is not humanly possible", Palo added.

(Palo was referring to the fragment users who had superhuman powers that ruled the battlefield back then)

Palo looked up at the night sky and continued to narrate his story.

"It was a really long time ago when I was still a young man in his 20s"

"Back then, Amidst the constant crimes that took place in the blac

    Aren laid down on the ground while she fell asleep because of how tiring the day was. I brushed the leaves off that fell on her hair as she laid on the grass. "Aren, get up you can sleep at your home. The mosquitoes will suck the life out of us if we stay in this forest" I held her up as she was still feeling drowsy while we rode back on my bike to our building. The nights were the same in Korea, but for some reason her presence made it a memory for me. She held me tightly as she fell asleep on my shoulders. I drove gently to not wake her up due to the roaring engine. It felt as if the world was going slower in an attempt to make our voyage a tiny bit longer than it was. The smell of her hair conditioner leaked into my nose as I could only wonder why I started salivating all of a sudden. Sigh* She was in a deep sleep as I had no choice but to carry her on my back. "You are quite heavy for your height, Aren" "Back when we were young, you used to brag about how you were stronge

    Sept 22 2001 It was the season of autumn. The scenery was covered by clear blue skies while the verdant mountains and expansive city parks were blanketed with vibrant golden and red autumnal leaves. Natsuki approached me as he looked at my shabby attire and sulked. "Don't you think that your dress is way out of fashion?" "I like simplicity, Mr. Natsuki" Sigh*Mr. Mikoyama fastened his tie as he brushed the wrinkles off his elegant suit and looked tidy unlike his usual self where he never combs his hair and has a messy appearance.I really am surprised how such a weird man ended up catching the finest and most elegant woman I have known in my life in his net."The young generation is so unbelievable these days, I sincerely pity your generation" "Thanks for the concern", Zene replied. "We are going to the prime minister's house today, at least try to look good today Zene" "I am simply your bodyguard, you chose to look at me like your family but that doesn't change my position i

    Aren looked annoyed today for some reason, I slurped the large can of coce while watching the movie. "Why did we come to watch a movie along with these guys anyway?!", she said after looking at the two girls eating Sung Hyun as if he was a hotdog. "Forget them, just look at the movie" "I don't get it, why are there so many misunderstandings in this film?" "Well that's what a slice of life movie means, stretching out a small event and making it dramatic" "I am surprised people even get to enjoy this kind of stuff" "Well even a slice of life can be a masterpiece as long as it is made well" "Hmm, sounds like you have the right stuff to watch in your gallery", Aren mocked. "Are you bored because of the film?" "Yeah" "Let's go then", Zene said as he stretched his arm out to Aren. "Where are you guys going?", Sunghyun said as he shoved the two girls aside. "Just going out to get some fresh air", Zene replied. "Ok, watch your steps while you leave the theatre" Vroom* The nois

    Rumble* The weather had turned to worse as there was no sign of the rain stopping anytime soon. Palo and Eduardo looked out of their old school sedan while three bulky men had to squeeze themselves to sit in the back seats. "Is this the building where the council members affiliated with Triad lives?", Palo inquired. "Yeah, he is quite a difficult man to convince though", Eduardo replied. "Really? Go and convince him by yourself then", Palo added. "What? By myself?" "Yeah, See the three men behind are nodding their heads in agreement too", Palo chuckled as he pointed at the building and unlocked the doors. Sigh* "You guys are making do the annoying part huh", Eduardo walked in to the reception as he inquired to have an appointment with the council member. Ting* 15th Floor* Ting* "Council member Lee BaekHyun, que nombre tan raro para tener (what a weird name to have)" "Hi, I am Eduardo and you are Lee BaekHyun" Eduardo came inside the room all dressed up in a blue suit wi

    "Father! What do you think you are doing?!" Sang Cheol banged the doors open as he entered the massive hallway where all the executive members of the triad were present. "Be quite Sang Cheol, I don't have time for your nagging" "I told you that she was clean and yet you sent your men after her, don't you think you went a little overboard tonight" "The three men I sent have gone missing and the girl you mentioned has somehow managed to do that" "Father! She has nothing to do with this! It is for both our and her sake, do not go beyond what you have already done" "Sang Cheol, love is a poison to a man it is addictive, you seek it as if it's your only purpose but once you cut it off you realise that you are much better without it" "Don't objectify humans dad" "I have reached this position by being myself, what have you done? All you did was come here to the place I built and lecture me about how to run the business" "..." Sang Cheol rushed out of the hallway furiously as he ban

  • His Metamorphosis   A distant world

    Rumble* It was a place that was distant from Korea, It was a planet in a distant universe. A planet similar to our Earth, but a place governed by different rules. In a distant continent surrounded by water existed species with long ears. A term we humans give to them are Elves. A place blessed by mana or in English terms we call it magical energy. This was a land where people who resided had magical powers. Narrator's point of view: Natsuki mentioned a land we now call as India, where do you think India was 55 million years ago? There is a theory about the beginning of this universe. We call it the Big Bang theory. If, the universe is created by a massive explosion then it means that the center of mass of the universe remains at the site of explosion. The mass present on the right half will be similar to the mass present on the left half. That means the planet on one side of the universe will be similar to the planet on the other side. There is another rule to this univer

    Ring* Ring* "Hello" Aren stared at the phone in silence. "Hello, Yi So Yeon?" She couldn't mutter a single word as she looked at the phone. "Yeon- ah did you miss me?", he said. "Grandpa~" A single subtle yet gentle voice seeped through the silent room. Her sadness rejuvenated with her voice as her grandfather realised her emotions. "Yeon-ah, is there something you want?" "No, I just wanted to hear your voice today" Aren looked at the photo frame that was hanging on the wall while she teared up. "How is Grandma?" "She is doing fine, going around doing shopping and yelling at the workers" "Seems like she is doing well huh" Aren's eyes expressed her sorrow for anyone who would look at her in the eye would have resonated with her feelings. "Grandpa, I love you" "I know Yeon-ah, do you need some money for taking your friends out?" "No, I don't need any. I have a friend of mine, he is a really kind guy" "A guy? Do you like him?" "He is decent but a very strange person t

    "Captain, the storm is worsening and we have no choice but to shift our direction towards South Korea" Ting* Ting* Ting* Ting*"Fine, notify the sea patrol" "Wait!", said the advisor. "What is it?" "Captain, we might be better off if we notified them after we reach the South Korean borders because we don't know which direction the storm might shift towards and it would be a bad idea to head right into the eye of the storm" "..." Rumble*A lightning struck on the ocean all of a sudden indicating them of an approaching storm.The captain thought for a while as he checked the meters present inside the ship, this made the advisor unusually nervous as if he was having an ulterior motive. "I shall notify the Korean sea patrol then", said the advisor as he moved out of the cabin. "Wait! Let's observe for now if it is inevitable for us to stop near Korea then we shall inform them", said the captain who fell for the reverse psychology of the advisor. "Yes Captain!" The advisor rushed

    "I created you, Zene", Trotsky replied. "You and Aliyonah both were my creations that I brought up in a lab" "While I never gave her any memories after her creation but the same I couldn't have possibly applied on you" "I needed you to have those memories, I needed you to be ready when the time came" "I threw the both of you in that military camp, because it was what I was supposed to do" Zene looked at him while his eyes narrowed down. "Those memories of yours, all of them were a lie" "A fabricated story" Zene fell on the cold snow, his body started trembling while he couldn't reason with the storm of emotions that ran inside of him. He cuddled himself while tears ran down from his eyes. Zene felt like a failure, he lost the one thing that reminded him that he was not just a weapon but once may have been a human as well. {Zene it is better to die as a human than as a weapon, don't you think} Natsuki's words did no better, his mind was not reasoning. {Zene, wh

    A fatal lie

    Huff Puff Agent opened his eyes only for him to look at a surreal landscape. Volcanoes erupted from the ground, craters that spanned kilometers wide. Oceans that soared hundred feet high and the world that we once knew was in a state of apocalypse. Creatures that defied science, the world turned closer to fantasy than reality. His skin started sweating while the heat suffocated him. He looked around to find a giant monster stand in front of him, a being with one eye, it's span crossing hundred meters wide and standing as tall as an empire state building. He looked at the monster as it now faced him. With a single breath of that monster his body dissipated to thin dust. Huff Puff Agent woke up as he layed on the snow. He looked around as his hazy vision turned clear. There he was Vladamir Trotsky standing in front of him while Lisa herself was knocked unconscious. Agent layed on the ground with no strength left in his body to get up. "What was that thing tha

    The cold winds brushed past their faces with the freezing cold that turned their lips numb. While their muscles ached on top of the lack of air made it difficult to carry forward with the luggage strapped behind their backs. "Zene did you bring the oxygen cylinders?", Lisa inquired. Zene stopped and dropped the heavy bag on the ground. "Take it, We need to move quickly before the sun sets", Zene stated while he looked at the peak that was hundreds of meters ahead of them. Huff Puff "I feel light in the head as well", Agent replied. "We need to move quickly to find some shelter before the cold gets the best out of us", he added. "Zene, you were the one that carried all the load" "How are you still standing still?", Agent inquired. "I keep my body under equilibrium while I maintain control on my fragment" "I see", Agent looked ahead of them. "Are you done, Lisa?", Agent asked out loud. "Yeah, let's go", she puffed one last time before she retracted the oxygen cy

    Our Reunion

    Cling Clang A guard approached the solitary cell and opened the heavy metal door open. The place was drak with no lighting on the inside, there he was the man in question groaning at the flash of bright light onto his sunken eyes. "Dimitri Popov, I have some questions for you", Zene stated with a smile on his face. Screech* Zene closed the metal door and placed a lamp for lighting the room. "Never saw a guard like you, must be a new one", Dimitri murmured. "It wouldn't be a stretch if I told you that I came all this way for you", Zene replied. "I am but a lifer that has been serving in this prison for fifty years, what use would I be to a young handsome man such as you, sir." With wrinkles all over his face and the sunken eyes alongside his tired expressions spoke more words than any stories told by the inmates in the lunch hours. "What brought an old man such as you down into these dark rooms?", Zene inquired. "You refuse to work for the warden and he throws you

    "What do you mean by that?", Aren inquired while she sat on the table. Sigh* "I will not answer any questions related to you, do you understand that?", Trotsky grumbled. "When you told my father to find his path, his purpose did you mean something?" "Your father, he wished to find the reason behind his existence and that's when he came up with an idea" "Natsuki! We did it, We discovered a new element!!!", Mokshith yelled out loud out of joy. "Guys, Guys I have something to tell", Natsuki calmed the boys down. "Now that we have finished our last project, I think I want to move on to the next phase of my life" "Where are you headed to, Natsuki?", Trotsky inquired. "I have decided to go on a journey around the world to find my purpose" "You want us to come along?", Mokshith inquired. "He meant to go alone on this journey, Mokshith", Trotsky replied. "Ah, that sucks" "We have finished all the projects that we dreamed of building, didn't we?", Natsuki stated. "..

    "You should get some sleep, Mokshith", Trotsky suggested while he wiped his face dry. "I can stay up a bit longer", he replied while looking at the ward inside which natsuki was bedridden. "I hope he wakes up soon", Mokshith stated. "He will anytime now", Trotsky murmured quietly. Huff Puff Natsuki woke up from that everlasting nightmare only for him to look at the attire of his inside the hospital. His face was covered in bandages, his entire body was covered in cloth to heal his burn wounds. Natsuki gasped for air as he looked around to find a nurse stare at him with popped out eyes. "Doctor!", the nurse screamed out loud. Huff Puff Natsuki looked around as his hazy vision started to clear up. There they were men that he once knew stood in front of him with worried eyes. "Are you okay?" "Natsuki can you hear me?", Mokshith yelled out loud. Their voices were muffled and his ears were constantly ringing. He looked at the white room with bright lights fl

    Glug Glug A young child was caged within a glass container, the boy couldn't open his eyes nor could he move his body. Zene gasped as he woke up from the same nightmare. "So you finally woke up, huh", Lisa stared at Zene who was gasping to get some fresh air. "What time is it?", Zene groaned. "It's 11 am and Agent drove us near to the prison while you slept all night", Lisa replied. "Where is he?", Zene inquired. "He should come back any moment now" "Guys get out of the car", Agent pulled out a suitcase that cared their essentials. "Where are you going?", Zene asked. "We will be staying inside the hotel for a day or two", Agent replied. Sigh* Lisa fell on the soft bed and began stretching her body for some comfort. Moan* "Stop making weird sounds", Zene grumbled. "Does it excite you, my boy?", Lisa chuckled. "Piss off" "Zene, shall we take a look at the jail?", Agent inquired while he brought out a file related to the target. "Right let's get it over

    An everlasting dream

    As soon as we arrived at the church we saw a couple kissing each other. And that's when I first saw Natsuki cry. "That's Clara", he murmured. "Who, I can't see any girl nearby", Mokshith squinted for better view. "Is she the one that kissed that guy" "Yeah", Natsuki looked gloomy while tears trickled down from his eyes. "I did everything I could man" Natsuki glared at the couple unaware of his presence. "And some random guy comes in and takes her away with little to no effort" His veins popped as he glared at them with his teeth gritting against one another. "It's unfair" "Natsuki, Listen man you need to chill out", Mokshith tried to calm him down. Natsuki went through hell day after day and not once did his fragment respond. But today, his fragment took over him. [Fragment of Origin] His body was covered in weird tattoo marks with flesh burning from within him. "Natsuki, is that you?", Clara inquired as she got a little closer for a better view from th

    "How will I produce such energy, Vladamir?", Natsuki asked out of confusion. "So, first up we have to start things back from square one" "You need to remove all the knowledge that you had behind, do you understand?", Trotsky added. "Yeah explain it to us", Mokshith replied. "So, do you know what fragments both of you possess, gentlemen?" "I possess the fragment of light, am I correct?", Mokshith replied. "That is correct" "And you Natsuki" "Me?" "I don't think I ever felt this thing that you call fragments" Sigh* "That's really weird, all of your kind should be able to sense it, do you feel anything weird inside your body?" Natsuki paused momentarily as he tried to sense something within him. His concentration was all diverted towards his torso in an attempt to sense this feeling or presence of the fragments. As he explored through the darkness, Natsuki witnessed two flame orbs revolving around one another. "Do you see it, Natsuki?" "I can see flames and that's about i
