"Why noww?, why now?" for some reason, Tanaka's car seemed to be facing some major technical difficulties. She had turned the key multiple times but the engine wouldn't even cough.
"Why aren't you using a Shin Sekai brand?" Yamato asked out of curiosity. Tanaka's restaurant was quite successful and it didn't didn't seem like she was financially lacking. Also, Shin Sekai products were very affordable and much more efficient than others. The reason she chose to distance herself from them was not something one could easily guess.
"It's a long story" she answered as she opened the bonnet and started looking for what was wrong with the car.
It didn't take long before Tanaka started panicking.
"Oh no no no no no no"
"what's it?" Yamato asked
"It's fried" she answered
"what's fried?" Yamato asked
"everything....everything's fried" she replied in panic
it didn't take Yamato long to guess that the cause of the breakdown wasn't just due to poor quality "this was a sabotage." he said. His guess was that it was done by the hunters that attacked the restaurant. Considering the fact that their car wasn't the only one that broke down he deduced that they did it in order to hinder escape and then he laughed at their confidence.
Just as they were about to give up, a voice came from beside them saying "you seem to be in a pinch."
They turned to see Victor inside a much more cooler ride than theirs. "Hop in" he said, and they did. Tanaka dove into the front seat while Yamato calmly sat himself at the back, thinking "how did he get here?. I'm pretty sure he wasn't here the whole time." He didn't hear sound of any engine and he didn't hear any brakes. "no car is that silent." he thought "so how?" he pondered. the only person that could answer that question was Victor but Yamato felt like he would find out sooner or later so he didn't ask.
"Next stop....Shin" Victor said as he started the car and drove off. It was not a long drive. It didn't take up to three minutes to arrive at Shin's location. All that was left was to talk to him.
The aura that Shin emitted was very imposing, the mere sight of him was enough to bring anyone to their knees. There was no change in visual appearance, he still looked like Dave but anyone that saw him could recognize the difference. When Tanaka witnessed this sight, all she could do was Marvel at it. Even though Shin was doing a good job suppressing his energy, the little that escaped was enough to make anyone take a different route in order to avoid trouble. Finding him was easy but getting to talk to him was something different entirely, at least that was what Tanaka thought.
Victor wasn't going to waste his time marveling at power When his best friend's life was in danger. With great hesitation and a much more greater determination, he walked up to Shin and said "I'm taking you to him now"
For a moment there was silence but it was broken when Shin replied with "What took you so long? I've been waiting"
At that point, the situation became a lot more clearer to Victor. Shin wasn't walking towards Shiro. It was just coincidence that he was walking down the path that led to Shiro. the truth was that he didn't even know where to go. He knew through Dave that he knew that if he contacted Victor, he could have found out where to go but his energy was so excess that every device he touched exploded. Even with the slightest swift movement his energy leaked and caused damage around him so he had to walk slowly and get used to his new body while waiting for Victor to find him.
"I'm almost used to it now though" Shin said, as he moved around a little.
"Is Dave still in there?" Victor asked with in troubled tone
"of course!!" Shin replied with a smile
"I'm just borrowing his body for a while"
With a sigh of relief, Victor held Shin's hand and said "let's go" but he was told to wait.
"there's someone I need to find first" Shin said
"aren't you worried about Shiro?" Victor replied but he was shocked by what Shin said next.
"I'm much more worried about the man that attacked him"
"and why would you be worried about that man?" Victor asked, and was replied with
"that man incurred the wrath of the gods. Even the effects of the postponement will have a hard time keeping him alive, so stop with the worries and help me find a woman named Tanaka Silva"
"What exactly do you need me for?" Tanaka asked as she stepped forward with her hand raised.
"I'm pretty sure know why." Shin replied
"your boss needs you"
As soon as She heard those words, her eyes widened and tears fell down her cheeks. with a smile, she asked "when will he return?" and Shin replied "soon" he said "not too long from now"
Neither Victor nor Yamato understood what those two were talking about but they were in too much of a hurry to even ask.
"Let's go" Victor said as he tapped Yamato's shoulder.
With full eagerness Yamato turned and said "Okay" as he walked towards the car "let's get into the....". Before he could complete his sentence the car was no longer in front of him. He looked beside him and saw Shiro sitting with Mia. Tanaka was there too but he didn't see Victor and Shin until he looked further into the distance.
Victor was shocked see how correct Shin was. Shiro was okay even though he was quite beat up but what surprised him the most was how quickly the battle escalated. It was already at the point where Shin had to stop Orie from killing Endo. He thought he knew everything Orie was capable of, but what he saw made him rethink everything he knew about Orie. "there should be a limit to how much power the gods can grant their priests but there doesn't seem to be any with this man. It's a good thing he can't use it freely. If he could, he would be unstoppable."
Still holding on to Orie's hand, Shin smiled and said to him "let me handle it from here" and proceeded to pull Endo out of the pit.
As Orie watched Shin, he heard the voices of the gods saying "Time up. It's his turn now." and the markings on body faded away. Then he snapped his fingers and was immediately dressed like his normal self with the overcoat and scarf and backed away. Shin grabbed Endo and jumped out of the pit then put him in a sitting position and said to him "I need you to listen to me" The rage inside Endo was too much. there was no way he was going to comply with the man that massacred his entire kingdom but that wasn't the only reason. Everyone; including Shin found it strange that throughout the entire ordeal, he didn't utter any word. If anyone was as enraged as Endo was he would have at least let out some the rage verbally and even if his mind was in disarray, a thousand years alone was quite enough to come up with a meticulous plan to exact his revenge. But for some reason every decision Endo made so far was crude as if he didn't even care about revenge. It was as if his objective was to
"magic, supernatural abilities, superpowers, talents, quirks... we call it many things depending on where we come from, what we learned and how it rolls off the tongue. Those who have it cultivate it and integrate into their daily lives, those who don't have it sometimes study it, but the question that is asked on both sides is the question of its origin. hardly anyone in the world knows the origin of this thing we call 'magic' people have studied and searched but to no avail. there is no culture on earth that has any records of its origin. this was baffling to the archeologists, something that was so significant had no story that spoke of its origin. Human beings have searched without rest for an answer that I have. all they have to do is ask any priest but they don't want 'superstitious' answers. what they do not understand is that those 'superstitious' answers are true facts so they wallow in their answerless search." "I KNOW THE ORIGIN, I KNOW THE ROOT." My visions tell m
01011000, 10000101, 01-01-1000, 1000-01-01. The one thing all these numbers have in common is the memory that they trigger (and also the fact that they're binary but that's not the issue). once someone comes in contact with any of them, they are immediately reminded of the beginning of recorded history. one day the entire world gained what was perceived as free will. they never felt chained or forced against their will before then but after that day, they felt like they were finally able to do what they truly wanted. This led to a whole year's worth of chaos and was the first ever recorded event in history. events before that time could not be recorded because there was hardly anyone with memories of them and no one knew why(generally speaking). It was also a wonder why there were no records of the past before then but there was no record to depend on to tell why there was no record. In the end the chaotic year was dubbed the year of oblivion and everyone one went on with
Uzo's most memorable moment took place in his childhood when his power first manifested. there was a time of the year when all the children in the village were brought before the prophets and asked various questions mostly their names and if they had any special ability. he remembered when his turn came to answer those questions. "what is your name?" the prophet asked calmly "Uzo'ndu" he replied. as soon as he uttered his own name, everything stopped for a moment and within that moment he saw multiple instances of his death within the next few days, all of which he could not understand and somehow knew how knew what to do to prevent it. The first step was to lie when he was asked the next question. "Do you have any special abilities?" "No" "Do you feel energy flowing through you?" "What's energy?" "Do you feel tingly in any part of your body?" "Yes, in my stomach, when I get hungry" "Don't joke with me kid" "You seem to be the one joking with me" And th
"come to think of it, I don't know how my village came to be" "and now it's been destroyed and wiped out of history...." "wait....." "what is history?" these thoughts ran through Uzo's mind as he evaded the fleet's lasers and headed back towards the ruined village. he was glad when he saw the entire fleet follow him back and he was assured of his family's safety. as soon as he reached the outskirts of the village, he immediately sunk his arm into the ground and turned it as if he had held on to something. then suddenly two cannons rose up from the ground and began firing at the fleet. "my power amazes me sometimes" Uzo said as he sat back and watched the beautiful display of fireworks. The show was fun and all but it had to come to an end at some point, and that point wasn't when neither side could no longer fire anything at each other. the fleet was the first to run out and they received a lot of damage until Uzo's cannons ran out. but the show was far from over an
as we have come this far with the story, there is something that I have felt the need to do. you surely have noticed that some of the words I use are not common or do not exist in the English dictionary. well that's because they're not English (obviously). one could check on G****e or use any other translation software but you might be led astray. not because the translation is wrong (it is sometimes) but because one word could mean different things and most translations don't take metaphor into account. what I'll be doing isn't translations. but rather, I'll be trying to let you see the meaning of those words from my own perspective. I won't be explaining much unless I feel it's necessary. so without further ado, let's get into it. FUBUKI: this this is Japanese word for snowstorm. in this story it is used as Natsumi's surname and it is also the name of the island most of the story's events take place. OTUMOPKOR: the 'O's are supposed to have dots underneath them but I
For days, the lightning walked past countless villages, scaled many mountains and crossed hundreds of rivers. he didn't know why he saved Uzo's life, he didn't know why he left the forest, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't even know who he was. all he knew was that he was going in the direction of where he should be. hunger and thirst could not stop him, neither could the dangers that lurked in the dark. there was nothing on his mind other than the direction he needed to go. this continued until he arrived at beach and couldn't go further. he was sure that he wasn't in the place he was meant to be but he could no longer tell which direction to go. as he contemplated his next decision, he laid on the sand and fell into a deep slumber. he slept for hours until he was finally woken up by the waves that crashed into him and after that a great amount of pain came upon his stomach. he soon noticed that it was hunger but he had nothing to eat so he had to bear it. n
Mina's agony was apparent. the tears that fell down her cheeks were filled with great sadness. on the other hand, Yen was sure that he had arrived in his destination, the problem was to do when he got there. he was aware of Mina's pain but he didn't know what to do about it, and before he could do anything he was distracted by a loud voice that said "we have you surrounded. come out with your hands in the air" on hearing the voice, Mina's sadness immediately switched to anger. "I want those bastards dead" she said as she reached for her crossbow and got ready for battle. then she looked outside and saw the great number that she was up against. it was like a welcoming party of death. each one of them looked dangerous and hard to deal with and Mina immediately realized how irrational her decision was and crawled to the part of the deck that couldn't be seen from outside. "don't listen to them" she said, looking at Yen "It doesn't matter what we do, they're still going to ki
