Turning around from his table to behold Rafael who was still deep asleep on the sofa he provided for him, made him wish he could get into his dream, and pull him out of his chains.He pulled out his phone and again busied himself by watching a video which served as a source of motivation while trying to find a solution to Rafael's problems."Yeah boy ride on you are amazing!" The video played him screaming and galloping excitedly. This was the time Rafael came to seek his guidance. He explained to him to the best of his knowledge how to gather and absorb soul energy and above his expectations he easily gathered more than he had ever seen anyone gather.As shown by his phone, instead of a light whispering sound a rumbling sound similar to that of a thunder but much more prolonged and quiet sounds was heard. This made him scream ecstatically.Now open your pores and choke your soul with it."Rafael closed his eyes and tried to direct the energy towards his chest but instead of experienc
Not wanting to waste any time, immediately Rafael's consciousness awoke in his chained body, he began to pull himself with all his might off from the wall. At first he thought it was fun as he enjoyed how his muscles bulged to the pressure but as time began to pass he began to feel pains on his wrist making him to focus more on pulling himself off than the admiration of himself."What will you do if you successfully get out?" He clearly heard a chilled voice ask him as though the one who spoke it was soliloquizing in his sleep.After scanning through the room without spotting the one who spoke he assumed he was hearing what really did not exist but it made him hesitate a bit.Since he now understood that there was a world beyond the dungeon this question made him stop for a while and think. He knew Gregor thought that on freeing himself from the chain, he would begin to feel a soul but he now had reasons which made him believe that there was more to it than just freeing himself. He th
His heart skipped a beat when he raised his pained face and saw a pair of eyes staring pitifully at him.It was the first person who had ever visited him, the beauty who he did not remember to ask of her name. In her robe she looked no less than a princess, because of this Rafael was tempted to ask if she was one of his sisters He tried his best to speak but instead of an explanation or question, he ejected several incoherent words."Did father come here to announce your execution to you?" She queried.To this question, he couldn't still bring an answer. This time he was puzzled. "Do you mean that scary looking man is your father?" He thought with mixed feelings he was happy that she was not his sister and uncertain what her next set of words would be "Your mother must be an angel." He thought"Since he has broken his own part of keeping his mouth shut on the issue I will not regret doing what my heart longs for." She said to her self."Don't punish yourself so much I will break you
Rafael gasped for air in shock immediately he awoke on opening his eyes he thought he was wrapped up by snakes but in realization his heart beat began to drop back to normal. Looking around made him understand that the snakes were wires if the brain monitor and also explained to him why he felt as though he were monitored.On his desk the tired Gregor was fast asleep and unaware that he had woken up. He disconnected the system from his body and sat up on relief. "You did it, right." A sleepy voice inquired."Nope." Was Rafael's simple reply. This made the sleepy Gregor to wake up at once."Then what made you so happy all of a sudden?" He asked with a voice which showed both elation and surprise."Why did you monitor me?" He inquired with a slightly embarrassed face and trying to show displeasure."I am sorry now tell me what happened." He asked trying to fill up his curious heart."Someone has agreed to help me." He replied."Who,why do you trust this person?" "Because it seems like
While few students paid attention in what they were being taught by their homeroom teacher, others spent their time chatting with their seat mates and friends but this neither bothered the teacher nor the interested students.Among the students who seemed to be interested in the teacher's seemingly unending lectures sat Rafael but in truth, his gaze was what was on the teacher; his mind was occupied by something else. He was only jerked back to reality when he noticed that the teacher was speaking directly to him."Um?" He asked with a widened eyes."What do you think is the reason why you can't gather soul energy for someone else."Because you gathered it I guess." Raf replied without giving the question any thought. The thoughtless answer from him got his teacher dumbfounded for a while."Did his reply make sense even to him? I never knew him as someone so dull if this is how he has become then I think he is now a total jerk.""How can you make such a rude comment about him? I still
Though Rafael was regarded amongst the few serious students, he had another reason for wanting to research on the topic asides the fact that it was an assignment by their homeroom teacher. At least for that moment, he knew that nourishing his soul was impossible but it was possible to help his buddies grow and then grow by their influence.Even though his food and other benefits might remain the same, no one would object if they decide to take him out of his ugly room with leaking roofs or even give him a portion of their meal in appreciation. The thought of this almost made him drool over the little but well decorated book before him. Many books in the library were written by the celestials and their direct students even before the invasion and their scope circled around soul nourishment as a weapon for self improvement and human freedom. Looking around the library and noting the countless books authored by celestials and their direct students one would think that they were countle
"So will you pay up now?" Bonny's assistant questioned him again.I-I h-have nothing on me now asides my daily allowance." Rafael stammered cowardly."Then I will take it from your bones." He threatened walking closer to him steadily."P-Please I beg of you." Rafael said panting in fear and walking back altogether but his pleas fell on the bully's deaf ears as he was already set to devour the boy who could no longer inch backwards as his back was already placed against the wall.With one hand he raised him off the ground and another he got ready to administer punches but before his moving hand could connect to the former's fearful, face it was stopped by an intruder.He left the lifted mass and it dropped to the floor and continued sobbing then he turned to know who had stopped. On turning around his gaze met that of an innocent looking young lady."Why did you stop my fun?" He queried."Because you lack a good memory she retorted boldly. He racked his head trying to figure out the
"I'm off." Jerry anounced and stood up.""Where are you going to?" Levi inquire half heartedly as he was busy with his laptop and other self invented tools. "To pay Rafael's dues at Team Fifty's Tent." He replied.Team fifty's tent was the name Bonny have to his room as it was the meeting place for his gang whose members ranked from forty-seven to fifty-one. "I don't think there's need for that anymore." Rafael informed him."Why?" he inquired."It's best if we leave the details out for now I can always tell you later but now we have to discuss." Rafael explained and turned to look as Levi."Levi." Rafael yelled out loud in order to draw his attention the issue."You can speak while my ears listen." He said still not paying attention to the issue."That won't work." Rafael informed him as he got up and walked towards him. "Spare us some of your time tonight. He told him and closed his laptop."Okay." Replied Levi while biting his lips in frustration. "But you must be brief and not
