The gun and staff suddenly glowing and my weird dream might be connected. So I should check this out.

Cautious people would say to be careful. But I believe that I have to explore every possible event.

This event is quite exciting. A stolen alien gun and staff which is too draining and doesn't use any ammunition suddenly glowing is weird in its own right. But I got a weird dream.

And judging by the timing I would say this is that common trope.

When the protagonist levels up he gets new powers and abilities which often manifests itself through his dream.

I get up and walk to the glowing gun. It is glowing but faintly and it's blinking.

The lights is glowing like an S.O.S signal. Is this weapon actually alive? I haven't tested it yet after my training but I should have leveled up.

If my guess is correct then it uses spiritual energy as a power source. So I did both physical and mental training in which I tempered my body and soul.

Let's see the results. I touch the gun and it stopped glowing.

Arehhh. Did it break? Or was it malfunctioning?

I was looking at the gun and examining it when I heard a voice.

(You have been chosen as the owner of <Spirit Gun>)

This gave me a jump. I just heard a voice. An inorganic voice. Like a A.I. generated voice.

Then I look at the gun and this gun changing. The hollow area where the trigger was is gone. The barrel is changing its shape to fit my hand. Moreover, it has totally attached itself to my arm.

I stop. Panicking won't help. So I take a deep breath and wait.

The gun which I was holding is now attached to my arm. Not just attached, it's practically a part of me now.

I try to pull it out but it won't budge. And the trigger is gone. It's now like a gauntlet with a barrel.

Like one of those shorthands with an extended barrel. This is cool. So science fiction like or something else.

Moreover it said that I am its owner. It chose me. That means, it probably was a type of weapon which chooses its own wielder.

I was pretty sidetracked because of this sense of accomplishment. So I kinda forgot about the staff.

"Ohhh…" I even said that when I looked beside the gun.

The staff is still glowing. I should touch it as well.

"Anything goes at this point." I say and take the staff.

(You have been chosen as the owner of the <Aegis Staff>)

Again that inorganic voice resounded. Maybe it's speaking directly in my mind.

The staff started becoming smaller. And it became small enough to be called a pendant. It even has a string attached. So maybe it is supposed to be worn as a locket.

I put in on. But how will I use it? Always having a gun attached to my hand is tiresome. And the staff became too small.

But then I felt something odd. I know how to use the gun and the staff. Like I always knew.

But these aren't mine. And I certainly didn't get the user manual. So how the hell did I know?

Did I get the knowledge when I was chosen? I am the owner so I should know the most.

Judging from my memories, I do know how to use them.

But I haven't practiced yet. I need to get the feel. Or else I won't be able to use them when the time comes.

I look at Hazel. She is sleeping with the cub.

Now that I think about it, I haven't thought of a name for the cub.

It's kinda irritating to call it the cub. I need to think of a name.

A gender neutral name or should I check first?

I was thinking when Hazel woke up.

She is staring at me. No not me but my hand.

Ahh. She probably noticed the gun around my arm. Right!! I was thinking of a way to get rid of that.

How do I access it again? I focus on the gun and order it to vanish.

And then I notice that the gun disappeared. I call it and it appeared.

So it depends on my will, huh. It's nice. I have a weapon at my beck and call.

Feels nice but I still have to practice. I ask Hazel to watch over the house. I don't want to take her with me.

When Hazel is with me, I cannot do anything crazy. So I need some privacy.

And the naming comes then. I will check the gender but if my dream was true or something like that, it should be a female.

I don't know if those were my repressed feelings or just random dream but I would like it to be a female.

But I think because of those thoughts, I had a dream like that.

I arrive at that empty field again. A proper training ground. I call out my gun.

It came. No delay at that. I should check other things out.

I focus on my gun. I can see the number of shots I can fire.

It's only ten. I should try shooting first. But how do I shoot?

I close my eyes and focus. And after opening my eye, I know.

I just have to point at the target and just shoot it. Literally, just think of shooting a bullet.

Just like before, I shot a tree. And the tree vanished. What is left is a crater. Just like before, but I don't feel exhausted this time.

So the training really paid off. I am happy. With this, I have multiple chances.

And I shoot another round. After 6 shots, I am feeling lightheaded.

So, my current limit would be ten shots as said. But if I play it correctly, I would be able to do some damage.

After all, the firepower is comparable to a hand grenade.

Next would be the staff. How will it turn out? I am hyped but if it's disappointing then I would be heartbroken.

The city I knew was nowhere to be seen. Neither the people.I stood alone. On that pile of rubbles, I stood still, laughing.Many would say that I am abnormal. Abnormal would be kind of them. Freak, psycho, weird, inhuman, monster; I have been called all of this in just my 17 years of life.And look, everyone who called me those, died.I alone am alive.

    As I walk through the destroyed city, I reminisce.The good old days. Just kidding. Life has never been kind to me. Saying that would probably get me kicked right in the face.But it is the truth. I was born in a normal household. With normal parents and a normal life.The only abnormal one was probably me. It happened when I was in grade school.One day, a molester broke in. And he literally broke in.He took our class hostage and everyone was scared. The molester was trying to scare us and was probably aiming for the girls in my class.They were too scared to move. And almost all the boys were tied up. And then he came to me.He was not too tall or big. He was small if I compare him with my father.When he crouched down to tie me up, I stabbed him in his eyes.I had a compass from my geometry box in my pocket.And I stabbed him with that. He screamed. His screaming was so loud that I even felt annoyed at him. So I took the compass and stabbed it in his crotch.He was in pain. No, he

    After camping outside for a night the next morning felt a little too refreshing.Officially a day has passed since that happened. But I feel more alive than ever.Every single day, I used to wake up, depressed and unsure of the future.I was so paranoid that I even locked my door from the inside.Because, my trust in my parents was gone. I never trusted them as they tried to poison me before. So I got myself a job in the mines.The pay was decent but was a little challenging. But then, it gave me an excuse.I used to work overtime to earn a little extra. Then, I would go and eat outside. Most of the times, I would eat outside.Even my parents were delighted to hear that. I gave up convincing them because they were plain terrified of me.Then I got the idea of moving out. Finding a new home and living alone. But fate was not too kind to me.I needed a guarantor. If I asked, my father would have become one, probably.But the problem was that no one would let me rent their place. Because

    The dog and I are currently on our way to the capital.I say that but we are walking leisurely. The dog is trotting.The day is fine. Roads are empty. No sound of vehicles but just birds chirping and flying freely. No airplanes or flying machines in the sky. It became really quiet but gave an inexplicable sense of relief.The mechanic sounds are gone. Only natural sounds are present. But my inner monologues are becoming more prevalent.I guess this is called loneliness. I am not lonely in the truest sense.But as the only human left, I seek other humans.But the way they attacked us it is impossible for any humans to be alive.I look at the dog beside me. It has brown fur and a pretty common dog like look.Just like those common house dogs the Americans play with.But it is very intelligent. It understands my speech and does everything I tell it to.Calling the dog it is very inefficient. So I stop and take a look at the dog.It also stopped and looked at me. Its eyes saying 'Do you

    Spending a night in that town was good. I was able to restock. Why the past tense?Because I have already arrived at the capital. The time skip is staple for a story. So I thought I would omit the rest of my journey.Not like anything special happened in between anyway. I just found a few dead bodies and buried. Like usual. The capital is totally a mess. Most humans lived here. So the damage is mostly visible. But fortunately, one place was unscathed.The city center. Though it's the capital, calling it the capital center was weird. So they named it city center.It was the administrative building that oversaw the capital and its inhabitants.But it was mostly automated. A highly computational A.I. program was created so that it would be automated.And not that many humans worked here. So the building is still standing.But the thing I am after is underground.The data center which stores the worlds knowledge is here.But this stuff is classified. You would ask then how do I know that

    I know this a bit weird but I am doing it backwards. Hello, this the author. I decided I should do a special chapter for passing 1k views. This is an introduction chapter but there are only 2 characters. So I will add a special POV too. ————————————————Clive Belmont: The MC. He is a apathetic boy of 17. Taller than average with a height of 181.5 centimeters. And a weight of 69 kilograms.His personality is a bit twisted. Unpredictable. In a word that's it. Too disconnected from reality. Brash and does not understand feelings of others. Also a little too level headed. One might think, he is not human. Totally unfazed by irregular things and quite accepting.Wants a peaceful life and is dependent on the flow. He does not make a decision and let nature run its course.Hazel: His partner. A brown dog. Gender female. Met Clive after a day of the annihilation. A really clever dog. Always understands what Clive says and gives him advice. Whenever they come across a dead body, she always b

    I defeated the bear. It was a good fight. But I have to practice more. There wasn't any problem with my physical abilities.I have exceeded the human limitations. Though plenty humans could lift up to 1 ton.But they were all buff and round. I have gained that strength without changing my size.I am still the same. Now for the body, I should bury it. I get back home and take shovel.I see that Hazel is still upset. "Hey, wanna come with me this time?"I ask her. And she just got up and stood beside me.I take it that you want to. So I take her and the bike and leave.When I reach the site, I see something unusual.There was someone near the dead bear. I stop at that. I observe it. That is a small bear.The size could be called a baby bear. A cub.Was the bear I killed its mother?I never wanted to kill the bear. But I had to. And I have orphaned its cub.This is heavy. I go to the cub with Hazel following me.It's trying to wake its mother. I confirmed it before. The bear I fought wa

    It has been another month. I feel like time is kinda passing too fast. But hey, I am training.So it kinda helps that time is passing by so fast. I have tempered my body and soul.My body can withstand harsh temperatures and I probably won't die even after being hit by a car.My mind is sharper than before. I can think faster than before. My reaction speed has increased a lot as well.My training has paid off. I totally went for a shaolin style training where those baldies did some weird training.To be honest I wasn't too sure but now I see.Results speak louder than words. I haven't touched that staff or the gun in this time.But, I think I can shoot at least twice without passing out. Hazel has been with me for all this time.She was following me everywhere. She even sat under the waterfall with me.It felt like she was training too. Many people are saying that I am an idiot.I'd like to digress. It's true that my formal education stopped after that incident.But that doesn't mean

    I wake up. I am still at the field. But it's evening.The sun is setting and the moon could be seen. I see Hazel sitting beside me."Thank you for keeping watch. I think I can walk now." I thank her and pat her head.My energy is back. But it's not like my physical energy was gone. So what kind of energy does it use?And the firepower was incredible. If I shot a human with that, not even a bone would survive.I take the gun and head back. I should think about it.I should first read the book and research. First, know your enemy. Better than themselves.Because the enemy has let their guard down. And they would be back in a while.So I need to get ready so I can leave this planet.I wanted to discover new places on this planet. But I think, I should greet them first.I get back at home and I start reading the book.I won't describe the whole book but here's the summary:This world has many planets. On some, there is life. On some, there is only death. We have thrived on a blue planet.
