2024-10-29 19:42:56The backyard of the orphanage building was filled with boys who were enjoying playing soccer while laughing. They all seem to be enjoying the game. As if they were very far from the cruelty of the world. As if the color of their eyes was not a sign of danger at all.
Theo watched silently behind the window of his room. His gaze glanced far out there while his mind was out of place. His little fingers trembled as he watched how the soccer ball was being kicked around by the kids out there. It was like a whip that reminded him of the dark memories of when he was still in his old orphanage. A place he initially thought of as home but found to be nothing more than a hell full of torment.
When his body becomes the target of a kick by a soccer ball. Until he almost died because his neck was injured.
Theo spontaneously stroked a very noticeable scar on the surface of his neck. It's been a while. The wound has also dried up. But, Theo still clearly remembers the pain he felt. Also how the bodies of his friends lay helplessly on the ground inundated with blood. Then Theo shakes his head quickly to get rid of the nightmare that always haunts him all the time. The laughter of the children out there again teased Theo’s attention. Make him linger standing while holding on to the window sills.
Then unexpectedly, Jared who was her new friend, waved to him. Jared smiled broadly to the point of showing all his teeth. His cheerful face reflected a confidence that Theo had never seen. It's just that Theo is still a bit hesitant after agreeing to the golden yellow-eyed boy's offer yesterday. He wasn't sure if he could trust the boy. Will Jared be able to understand him?
“Do you like to play ball?”
Theo quickly took a standstill when a voice interrupted suddenly from behind him. In the doorway, stood a middle-aged woman while carrying a tray of food. Her smile was so warm that Theo involuntarily relaxed his guard.
“May I come in?”
Theo just nodded without uttering a word. His Odd eye watched Madam Liz’s every move. That was the name of the woman who saved him. An orphanage owner where children with eyes like Theo’s live.
Madam Liz placed a tray of food on the nightstand and sat himself on the edge of the bed. "Eat before you play with them," said Madam Liz.
Theo still flinched.
“They are your new friends, are waiting for you until you are completely ready Theo.”
“I have to go,” Theo replied coldly.
Madam Liz furrowed her brows. “Didn't you promise Jared that you would stay here?”
“I never said I would stay here.”
“But you've made friends.”
“That doesn't mean I'm going to stay here.”
Madam Liz sighed. Theo was already prepared for the attack that Madam Liz might make on him. All grown-ups hate kids who fight them, don't they? But a surprising thing happened. Madam Liz instead smiled and patted the spot beside her.
“Come and sit here.”
Theo didn't move an inch from his place. He wondered what kind of things might happen to him. What kind of punishment will Madam Liz give? But deep down, Theo felt incredible comfort from the look in Madam’s eyes. As if she could be the home Theo always dreamed of.
He slowly began to step his feet towards Martion and then sat down next to her.
“I have something to tell you," said Madam Liz. “Do you realize that most of the children in this place are as unique as you?”
“Their eyes?" Theodore replied in a half-whisper.
“Right. They have yellow eyes that are different from humans in general. In ancient times when the first disaster struck this country, most of humanity died because they could not survive. While others who are stronger turn into super-powered creatures.”
Madam Liz turned to Theo who seemed interested in her story. She continued.
“They are referred as Tyr Gods effect to their incredible strength. However, they are not normal and are feared by others because of their strength. Therefore, in the present day, people who have the Odd Eye become the main target of torture of people.” Madam LIz gave me a sympathetic look. “Isn't that also the case with you, Theo?" she asked, pointing to the scar on Theo’s neck.
Immediately Theo reflexively retreated and covered his neck with his hands. His Odd Eye glowed brightly when he was alert.
Instead of being frightened, Martin smiled warmly before taking something out of his pocket. A red chocker necklace.
"You can use this alone to cover your wounds," said Madam Liz. “I know that you hate the wound as much as you hate the color of your eyes. But remember, everything you hate is still a part of you. So from now on try to make peace with all that.”
Theo received the choker necklace and looked at it carefully. Madam’s words made him feel warm in his chest.
“Whoa, nice necklace dude!" Jared said just as he saw Theo coming out of the door.
Meanwhile, Theo was still hesitant to give a response and just lowered his head. He still didn't know how real they all were. Even though Madam Liz had said that all the boys in the orphanage had the same fate, Theo still didn't want to hope too much. He is very afraid of being hated.
“Hey, can you play ball?” Jared suddenly grabbed Theo. Made him flinch in surprise.
“I... I don't know how to..." Theo replied softly.
Jared looked at him for a while causing an awkward feeling from Theo. Then Jared ruffled Theo’s hair. “Don't feel so inferior, let me teach you how!”
"You should not believe Jared!” chirps one of the boys.
“Right, he can't even take the ball from the opponent!” The other boy agreed.
“You're going to be just as bad as him!”
“Hey! You're all so outrageous!” Jared snorted bitterly. “That's all I did to keep up with you! If I'm serious about playing, you're no match for me!”

The statement from Jared received ridicule from the boys in the middle of the field. It practically provokes Jared’s emotions and eventually makes him chase one by one of his friends.Theo watched from the side-lines. Although it seemed to make fun of them, but he felt that the boys had no evil intentions at all. They're just really playing with each other. And, it was a rare sight Theo had ever seen in his entire life.“Excuse me...”One word from Theo instantly got the attention of the rest of the boys there. They simultaneously turned to Theo without daring to interrupt until Theo continued his speech.Theo stared at one by one of them and gulped his saliva roughly. “Can I play with you guys?”Quiet for a moment. Theo was worried. Then another surprise attacked him.“Oh my gosh... You don't have to ask permission to play with us!” One of the boys grabbed Theo’s shoulder tightly and was followed by the others.“That's right! Play with us!”Theo felt incredible happiness for the firs

The first class hour is underway. Before that, Theo Awards an affectionate punch to Jared for deceiving him that they were late when they weren't. Jared just laughed afterward.There were fifteen students in the class including Theo and Jared. They sat individually and since Theodore was a new student, he was placed in the last seat. Coincidentally in front of him was Jared's seat. Theo could take revenge if he wanted to but he enjoyed today's lesson so much. Today's class is about how to control the power of thought."Know that the human mind is very complex,” says the teacher – Prof. Abraham. He was an African–American man with half-bald hair and all of his hair almost gray. He was wise enough to teach. “The human brain is composed of many nerves with diverse patterns. Like a giant, scaled-down maze. To enter the human mind is to enter the labyrinth. Even the owner of the body is often lost in their minds. And how can we control someone's mind if we find it so difficult to understan

Jared goes into Theo's room after knocking him first. Jared no longer wears a uniform but a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a number 07 on his back. He held a thick book in his hand.“Why haven't you changed your clothes?" Jared asked seeing Theo still in uniform this morning. “Change into the clothes in that closet.”Somewhat dazed, Theo opens the closet and finds some new clothes hanging there. His face glowed cheerfully. Then he chooses an outfit that catches his eye. A jacket with the image of an owl."Well, now we will talk about the rules in this school as well as in this dormitory.”There are many written rules, and Jared explains them carefully.06.0 – 07.30 Wake up and run the field for over an hour.07.45-08.30 bath and breakfast.08.45: following the lesson.12.00: lunch.12.30: following the second lesson.17.00: finish the lesson and students are free to do personal activities.19.00: dinner.21.00: bedtime.- All students are required to follow the stated schedule.

"As a child, I accidentally fell and scratched the fence,” Theo replied, touching the wound on his neck.Jared grimaced. “That must so hurt.”“I don't remember because I fainted immediately.”“You're tough boys! You must be the Chosen One!”"Stop calling me the Chosen One.”They spent dinner chatting occasionally. Theo remembers that they should not bring this food into the room, so he increases the portion of food and finishes it quickly before dinner time runs out.When he arrived at the room, Theo was very bored because he was not sleepy yet, and he was not allowed to meet anyone. A dormitory supervisor was walking down the Hall, checking on anyone who dared to go out at the Forbidden time. Theo didn't want to get punished when he was very new here. And he still didn't have a book to read while he waited for sleepiness to come. Theo opened the bedroom window. The permanent windows that cannot be opened do not even have a balcony. But it was enough for him to see the scenery outside

After the end of classes, Theodore again secretly brought a book about dreams. He went into the bathroom so that no one else could see him. Even Theo didn’t tell Jared this. He opened the first sheet.When the universe was first created, they were nothing but formed from tiny particles called atoms. The particles are so small that the ordinary eye cannot see them. But they are there. Those little things will never die from the beginning of created life until the apocalypse. It also affects humans. Atomic particles form man from the outer shell to the innermost nuclei of the brain. Each atom has a solid attachment to each other. The atoms in the innermost core of the head often help humans solve problems. Something called Instinct. The atoms that live in our heads are amplified by the energy emanating from meteors that fell thousands of years ago. Atoms often try to help us solve problems that we are unaware of. It can be through a dream or an event called Deja Vu.“Does this make sens

“Hi,” said the man. “I didn’t mean to interrupt, but is there a problem?”“Master Lazarus!” Jared immediately kissed the hand of the man – Lazarus. Theodore followed him.“Is there something disturbing your mind?” Lazarus looked worried at Jared.“Nothing at all, Sir.”“I don’t think so.”Lazarus put his hand on Jared’s head. His face was as cold as Jared’s. Theodore watched in silence, and then suddenly, Jared’s eyes twisted until only the white part was visible. Theodore was about to interrupt. He thought Lazarus was hurting Jared. But suddenly, Jared looks better. Jared looked in all directions, his gaze full of questions.“Are you all right, Jared?” Theodore lunged at Jared with a worried question.“What happened?”“You ask? Don’t you remember what happened?”Jared shook his head. Theodore is increasingly worried about Jared’s attitude. After Jared’s strange behaviour of trying to push him away, he feels like he just lost his memory. All this happened after Lazarus came. Theodore

“Jared, since when Have you been here?”“I don’t remember, but I think from birth.”“Has this place been around that long?”“Yup.”Theodore was envious of where he had been because he did not know this place. A place where the odd eye can live equally. No fights, no bullying, just living in peace. How beautiful. Theo looked around. The boys of different ages enjoyed their meals while occasionally chatting. There is no pretentious brat who interferes with other boys. They’re like family here. There was only laughter instead of screams. The professors were in their places to eat. They act like parents in this group. They do not distinguish students from one another. They even punished Jared, an intelligent student, for making a mistake. It’s just that Theo didn’t find a daughter as far as he could see. All students are men.“Jared, does this place only accept boys?”“Why do you ask?”“There are no girls here.”Jared looked around. “You’re right,” he said. “After you told me, I realized

“YOUR TURN LITTLE BUDDY!”A man in uniform pushes Theodore before he realizes it. Theodore fell to the ground. The dust covered him, and his skin was scratched by sharp pebbles. He then stood up and started running into the training arena.The trainers are not part of the professors who teach them in the classroom. They may be part of the military or an unofficial part. This explains how strict they were in training the disciples. In addition, they are not at all soft. The coaches did not hesitate to hit anyone who dared to fight or anyone weak. Theodore immediately crawled under the entwined chains. It passes through a steep path filled with sharp pebbles. He grimaced in pain when wire or gravel scratched his skin several times. The wire above was only ten inches from his back, making it difficult for him to move without getting hurt. Theo only occasionally looks ahead because it makes it difficult for him to move. He often looked down even though his face was rubbing the ground. Tha

“Hey, it’s okay..” Unsuur berusaha menenangkan pembangun. Sekalipun perasaan getir menggaung dalam hatinya. Respon pembangun menjelaskan bahwa dia telah melupakan segala hal yang terjadi semalam setelah muntah. Begitu juga dengan ciuman singkat mereka.‘Memang apa yang aku harapkan? Dia hanya mabuk bukannya menanggapi dengan serius.’“Unsuur.”“Yeah...”Pembangun menunduk. Meski begitu, Unsuur dapat menemukan semburat rona yang menjalar dari wajah hingga telinga pembangun. Dia tengah bersemu. Tetapi keheningan ini membuat Unsuur merasa gelisah. Kalau-kalau pembangun malah mengingat hal yang tak mengenakan. Seperti...“Semalam, entah kenapa aku merasakan sesuatu yang lembut menempel di bibirku.”BADUM!“Kau yakin?”Pembangun mengedikkan bahu. “Entahlah... tak begitu yakin.”“Jika merasa tak enak, lebih baik lupakan saja.”“Tapi –”“Makanlah bubur itu, setelah itu akan ku antar kau pulang.”Dan Unsuur keluar dari kamar, meninggalkan pembangun di dalam kamarnya.‘Semestaku terhisap luban

Kini pembangun berwajah masam, kecewa atas sikap Unsuur yang menolak ajakannya. Tetapi alih-alih merasa ketakutan, Unsuur justru mengulum senyum. ‘Dia sangat menggemaskan~’ Unsuur membatin.“Ayo lah... biarkan aku mengajarimu caranya menari~”“Tapi –”Sebelum Unsuur menolak, pembangun sudah menarik tangannya.
