After eating the fruit, Charlie sat down before the broken tree to digest its energy.Blue lightning coursed through his veins, rendering his whole body numb in the process.While focusing on digesting the energy, Charlie entered a deep state of enlightenment as he witnessed the lightning coursed through his body.Few minutes later, he found himself on a vast grassland, standing atop a lone mountain in the area. He saw every part the grassland in a bird's eye view.A crystal clear river covered in blue lightning could be seen 100meters west, below the mountain.Suddenly, the river flashed with lightning, and a young boy made entirely of lightning walked out of the river.The boy looked up at him and smiled, sending shivers down Charlie's spine. The boy looked exactly like him, with face, height, and even smile, except that he's made entirely of lightning.Charlie rubbed his face, to be sure if what he was seeing is the real deal. but immediately after doing that, the lightning Charlie
“My name is Charlie Kaptur and I belong to the flame totem tribe! If you’re not happy with my answer, go f@#& yourself!” Charlie cursed. This time, it was as if the lightning Charlie had emotions. It raised its hand and a lightning mountain jutted out from beneath Charlie’s feet. Standing atop the lightning mountain, Charlie’s whole body was numb from the lightning energy that was penetrating his body through the soles of his feet. “Who are you?” Charlie’s eyes were wide open at the sound of this familiar voice. “I don’t know, do your worst” Charlie shrugged his shoulder, then silently closed his eyes, bracing himself for what was to come. “Argh!!!!” Charlie’s eyes jutted open almost instantly. The mountain beneath him melted at a frightening speed and had turned into a pool of lightning. Submerged in this lightning pool was Charlie, who was now trying his best to endure the pain. A few seconds later, the lightning pool dried up, and transformed into the shape of the lightn
Garga town is one of the most lively parts of the country. Dark clouds covered the night sky of this lively town and the wind was howling as if it would uproot the whole earth with its inhabitants. Small Droplets of water were being dispersed by the wind, it was as if the heavens were spitting in contempt at the mortal men.The merchants trading at the roadsides were running Helter skelter while packing their goods into their various shops, stores, or stalls. People were running for cover as the power of the raging wind grows stronger.Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sky and the heavens finally unleashed their fury. The rain was hitting the ground and roofing of houses and shops… with great force that it canceled out all other sounds.A lone man was seen walking down the nowempty road. After the long Israelite walk, Charlie got home after 40 minutes, to meet his paternal uncle, uncle Ben waiting at his doorstep.“ Charlie!! “ It was the shout from uncle Ben that woke him up from h
Gosh! Life is hardImmediately, Charles opened his eyes. He felt extreme pain all over his body. It was as if his cheeks, back, and stomach were being pounded by a pestle. Before he could process what was happening, the feeling of being pounded returned, but this time, something was resting on his head. Charlie held the thing that was pressed on his face and shoved it aside. It was a leg! What the… how can a little kid’s leg be this strong?He stood up with great difficulty and looked around the place, to know where he was and why he was being punched and kicked around by a little kid.A group of kids were standing in twos and threes were standing at a safe distance, watching unconcernedly, like a group of spectators at a stadium. Most of the kids were wearing ragged clothes, others used large leaves sewn together to cover the most private parts of their bodies.A young boy wearing a tattered cloth was cursing wildly as he punched him a few more times. The little feather on the littl
Chapter 2: Gosh! Am I dying so soon?A 10-year-old kid was sitting on a flat, slightly elevated Rock while looking at a broken bowl beside him with contempt, his hand moved a few times but he couldn’t find the courage to dip it into the bowl.Growl!!His stomach rumbled for the tenth time, then… he starts to eat as if the content inside the bowl will grow wings and run away if he was a second late. He finished the food within a minute even though he was fighting the urge to throw up on the spot.Who else could it be if not Charlie?I must look for a good restaurant to enjoy better food once I get my first pay. Charlie swore inwardly.Soon enough, the moon appears in the sky and Charlie was dumbfounded by the sight of the super big moon that lingered in the sky. His mouth was wide enough to contain a big egg as he observed the moon through the cave hole. Before he blink a second time, a much smaller red moon appeared on the horizon. Unlike the super big moon that looked much like the n
Beneath the two glowing moons in the sky, two figures were seen running in this dangerous forest. The one in front is a little boy who should not be older than ten years old, while the one chasing him is a shadowy being whose physical features were covered in a thick layer of smoke. Except for its dark green eyes, and its bared fangs, other parts of its body were encased in the smoke. Despite the shouts and screams from the little boy being chased by the humanoid shadow, no help came his way and the shadowy beast didn’t stop chasing after him.“Help! Help!!”Charlie was running frantically as he shouted for help, maybe the totem warriors in front could hear him and come to his aid. Not long after, he began to lose his stamina as the mark on the red moon increased. Knowing that he’ll soon be devoid of any strength, he took a sharp turn to the right and continued down the path. He did this a few more times but he couldn’t shake the beast off his back.About ten minutes after the cat a
Chapter 5: AwakeningCharlie was now rolling on the ground due to the unbearable pain he was suffering. Who told him to swallow the monster's core?The monster core was too expensive to be left to the gluttonous golden tree to consume when he could sell it to totem warriors for a sky-high price.He still wants to eat at an expensive restaurant for crying out loud!!While he was rolling about on the ground, strange energy was released into his body. It was as if he was bathed in cold water after boiling for a week, all of his tensed nerves and exhausted muscles were relieved as the strange energy passed through his vein to reach every part of his body.Not long after, the strange energy met its nemesis. It was a phantom of the white ape that just died. The phantom roared to the sky and intercepted the flow of the strange energy.The chaotic energy in Charlie’s body, having nothing to hold it back again continued to cause havoc. The ape phantom used this opportunity to invade Charlie’s
AwakenedOn this day, Charlie’s horizon has been broadened once again. Different kinds of beasts came out from all parts of the forest; it was like an annual general meeting for all forest animals. A three-headed snake was in attendance, a flaming lion was present, and a black-striped tiger wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.About ten strong animals, went near the carcasses while the others were waiting at a far distance, with their tails between their legs, hoping to eat some leftovers.The ten beasts glared at each other for like two minutes before the flaming lion went near the carcass of the big ape. It touched it with its paw and the white ape caught fire immediately.Charlie assumed that the beasts were the big ape's comrades and they were only here to send him off as the other beasts didn’t attack the flaming lion for setting fire to their food.A few seconds later, a finely roasted ape was resting before them. All the long fur on the ape's body was long gone, remaining the
