2024-10-29 19:42:56"I know that you are not one to lie to me but I'm finding it hard to believe that what you're telling me is true" Orie said
"If a priest really died, I would've felt it and so would you and every other priest"
"It's the one thing we share"
"But that didn't happen, did it?"
"That's what I'm trying to tell you" Nega replied
"His death was confirmed yet I felt nothing"
"But that's not even the worst part" he said
"So what is the worst part?" Orie asked, then Nega stayed silent for a while before answering
"His entire province" he said
"Everywhere that received the blessing of his god is in great despair"
"There has been drought from the southern borders of Dahüd down to the coastal areas of the continent and it is getting worse by the day"
"It's quite normal" Orie replied
"The drought will only last until a new priest succeeds him and that only takes a few days" he said as he placed his hand on Nega's shoulder.
"Do you think I don't know that?" Nega replied as he pushed away Orie's hand in anger
"Matéo has been dead for more than a week and nothing has changed"
"Wait a sec" Orie said with surprise
"Do you mean Matéo Cortez?" He asked and Nega replied him "Yes"
"Oh no" he said as he fell to his knees
"This is bad"
" This is really bad"
Matéo was the priest of the god named Chaac, a god that had power over rain, storms, and agriculture. The death of Mateo meant that everything that the god Chaac had blessed the people with will be taken away until a new priest is chosen by the god. This normally takes less than four days and there isn't much damage done so if a new priest is yet to be chosen after more than a week, then something is wrong somewhere.
What made the situation much more severe was that Mateo had the largest province among the priests. His province covered more than five countries and that meat that at the moment, there were about five countries that were larger than Dahüd experiencing droughts and famines
Everyone that listened in on the conversation couldn't keep a straight face. It was hard to imagine being in such a bad condition.
"So what do we do now?" Orie asked
"I don't know" Nega answered
"That's why I called you"
"The other priests wouldn't answer no matter what message I sent"
"You are good at figuring things out so I called you"
"This is something we have to figure out before worse things start happening"
Orie stayed silent for a while with his eyes closed, deep in thought as he rubbed his beardless chin.
"Matéo was killed, right?" He asked as he raised his head up towards Nega and received a nod of affirmation.
"This is not something I'm completely sure about" he said
"But I think we should find his killer and see if we can figure out the circumstances surrounding his death"
"You don't need to come after me" a voice said from outside
"I'm the one doing the hunting"
They looked around but they saw no one, then Natsumi fell to the ground and they all noticed the clear mist that was rising in the room. Everyone held their breaths but it was already too late, they had already inhaled enough of the odorless gas to lose all their strength.
"Wait a minute" Shiro said to himself as he struggled to keep his feet on the ground.
"I know this voice" he thought as he fell to the ground alongside others.
"Genji"
"It's definitely Genji"

"Woe to those that make enemy of the priests of the mighty ones, for their fate is worse than death" "The damned shall mock them, and the hopeless shall look down on them with pity" "The sick will look healthy in comparison to them, and the shall look alive in their presence" "For they have made and enemy of the priest and in doing so, they have made an enemy of his god" These were the words spoken by Orie while he was held in chains in a small isolated room. There was barely enough light for someone to see around but there wasn't that much to see either. It was and quiet clean for a dark isolated room. There was no dirt, no bad odor, no rats. It was only him, some very strong chains and a guard who told him to shut up after he had just finished making a divine declaration. "One of the perks of being a priest..." Orie said as he stood up "...is that sometimes, we are required to make declarations before we take action" "This is so that whoever is making a m

"For a thousand years, I've waited" "For a thousand years, I've held on and anticipated" "For when this day shall come" "My plan is perfect" "There is no chance for failure" "On this day" "A Raiden shall fall" genji muttered as he looked down at Mia who was bound in chains before him. "You know I can hear everything you're saying, right?" Mia asked as she gave him a cold stare. There was nothing intimidating about his appearance, the sound of his voice was not one to strike fear in others. He looked like every other normal guy but his name was not one to be spoken in jest. 'Genji of the Order' was a name feared in the entire underground society. "Oh" Genji said in surprise "I thought you were still sleeping" he added "But it's not like you can do anything about it" "You're completely bound and weakened" "You can't oppose me in your current state" "How sure are you about that?" Mia asked "Very sur..." Before Genji could complet

Natsumi was kept in a much more spacious than the others. It appeared to be an emptied warehouse judging by how big it was. There were a lot of guards inside with her and they were all on high alert. Even though she was chained down, her power still had a little reach and any one that got close froze. "Do you know who she is?" One of the guards asked his colleague and the colleague answered "we are not paid to ask questions" his colleague replied "But you know..." The guard said "Considering her level of power she might be someone of high importance" "I'm just afraid that someone might come for her" "And that might be a bit of a problem" "You worry too much, soldier" his colleague replied "This job has been going smoothly and it will go smoothly" "She hasn't put up any form of resistance" "And I don't think anyone is coming for her" "This place is not easy to find" "And even if someone does find it, there's no way they can break through the

He was kept in a similar place to Natsumi; an abandoned warehouse with enough space and many guards. His original plan was to wait for whoever Masterminded his and teach him a lesson but after waiting for a long time

"This is commander Hughes of the Freeland special forces" the man on the helicopter said loudly through the megaphone "You are trespassing in a restricted area" he said "Peacefully surrender and follow us to our base for further questioning" "If you don't, your life ends here" "That's quite a generous offer" Orie replied at the top of his voice "But I will have to decline" he said "My anger has already been kindled towards you" "So at this moment" "I don't want peace" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is problem" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is conflict" "The only thing I want from you..." "...is blood" "So look here, commander Hugh or commander Jackman or whatever you call yourself" "Don't think you can get me just because you got the jump on Matéo" Meanwhile, the fight between Mia and Genji was still at it's beginning. Mia wasn't as fast as she used to be an her strikes carried less weight but sh
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The coward's blade
In a field covered in smoke, there was a weird kind of silence. It wasn't that sounds could not be heard but that they could be heard clearly. The most prominent of those sounds was the sound of the helicopters that hovered above the field. "H3, what's your status" Hughes spoke into his communication device "I see nothing sir" a voice replied from the other side "I have no eyes on the..." The voice said and suddenly stopped "H3" "H3" "H3, REPORT!!!" Hughes yelled into his device but there was no answer. Then he looked forward through the windshield of the cockpit and saw one of his helicopters turning to face him "Oh sh**" he said he jacked a parachute from the side and jumped out of the aircraft. "Summon the mage squad" he spoke into his device as he watched the helicopter he was on burst into flames. With a loud cry and all her might, Mia swung her sword at Genji with the intent of taking off his head but for some reason, her blade couldn't go thro
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Mind bender
"I want a sword that helps keep me alive" "A sword that once held will help me to survive" "A sword I can strike with that helps evade all strikes" "A sword for a coward to help me win all fights" Such were the words that went through Mia's head as she swallowed the glowing blue pill. As she vanished from Genji's line of sight, she reached out her hand for a sword. The moment she grabbed the sword that came to her, pictures of events she never experienced began flooding her mind, alongside the pictures came voices and an odd feeling of rage that she was sure wasn't hers. It didn't take long for her to understand that those were the memories within the sword but that wasn't the strangest part Despite the fact that there was rage within the sword and herself, Mia was sure that the the it was telling her to hang it on her waist and bring out something else. At first, she didn't listen and used the sword to attack Genji but when he covered himself in scales, Mia u

"Freeland has a law that states "superhuman abilities and magic of all forms are prohibited from being practiced. Any civilian caught using their powers in public will be charged with terrorism and arrested immediately" It is claimed by the government that this law was put in place to prevent the great Meta incident that occurred twenty-five years earlier but the law wasn't doing anything to help the underclassed citizens of the country. There were people, those that the protection of the government couldn't reach. Those who lived with constant fear in neighborhoods with the highest rates of crime. Those who had the power to fight back but were forbidden to do so by law. Soon, people grew tired. Those who were brave enough put on masks and took on nicknames in order to do what was right, they were called superheroes." Naomi narrated then took a huge slurp from her milkshake.

The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ

Silver blade
Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca

The doubt of many
There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena

Fight like me
You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al

The strong man
"Ellie Porter here" "Live from the inside of the stadium and best seat in the house" "The starting buzzer for the match has been sounded but neither of the contenders have moved from their starting positions" "Cal is taking his time to charge up his power but we have no idea why Orie hasn't moved yet" "I still stand on my support for him but he has done what the rest of the world consider to be the greatest mistake in the history of this tournament" Ellie was right. Everyone that won against Cal in the previous tournament was powerful but that wasn't the only reason they won; they were able to win because they stopped him from charging up properly. The last person that let him charge up fully got knocked out in one hit and that was the expectation most of the crowd had for Orie. Soon, Cal had finished charging up. One could tell by the steam-like aura that could be seen emanating from his body. He got ready to move as the cheering of the crowd got louder; he was con

Day one
Just in case you were wondering where the fight was happening, the SHIN SEKAI company built a large stadium in the middle of the island where all roads cross. It was not exactly a hard place to find; in fact it was the most findable place in all of the island. The city was crowded with people from all over the world who were there for many different reasons. With the exception of those that came to spectate the matches, the most common visitors to this event were scouts and reporters. The tournament may not do much for the teachers, but it had the power to determine the future of the students that participated. "Ellie Porter here, reporting live from stadium one" a woman spoke with a clear voice as she stood with a microphone in front of a camera man. "As you can see, people from all over the world have come to witness the first match of the new world tournament" "This tournament was first introduced thirteen years ago on the same year that the school was built"

The goal ahead
The new world tournament was one unique tournament. Despite the fact that it was held by a school and it's participants were staff and students, it still managed to draw worldwide attention. One contributing factor to this could be that the Shin-sekai academy was a prestigious school and was attended by the children of many of the world's elites but the major factor was that it proved to be more entertaining than many others in the world. The structure of the tournament was divided. The teachers' tournament took place first then the students' came after. After winners had been decided from both sides, the two winners would then have a face off. The winner of the previous teacher's tournament was Fuji Waramaki who had remained undefeated for five years. He also won all the face-offs with the student champions. The teachers tournament was full of old faces and the only two new faces in the tournament were Orie and Natsumi. Not many expected a different result from the teach

Gale to storm
"The breeze in the west shall become the storm in the east" "It shall become a powerful force in the north" "And a sight of awe in the south" "And when it returns to the west..." "It shall be unstoppable" "My dear boy, Andrew Clipper" "These are not mere words" "This is your story" On hearing this, Andrew opened his eyes. He was on his knees and Orie stood beside him, placing a hand on his head. The room was dark and was lit by seven candles, and there was no one else in the room with them. Though all the doors and windows in the room were closed an intense wind blew within it. Gradually, the wind got stronger and blew ferociously around the empty room. It was strange that the seven candles didn't go off. "You are a storm that will sweep through all" "A wind that can move lands" "A reckoning force of greatness" "An unbreakable wind" "That, is what you are" Shiro was waiting for them outside the room. Throughout his the time he was wa
