Clive dreams
——————
I woke up. I find myself in a weird place. This is my bed in my parents's house.
Weird! I should be in my house. Anyway, rather than moping on it, I get up. I look at the clock.
6 in the morning. I have to report to the mine at 7:30. I have time.
I go downstairs. No one is up yet.
My parents work till late at night. So they get up late.
I wash my face and get ready to jog.
I jog everyday for about an hour.
I cover most of the city. So I think I run more than 10 kilometers.
I have continued this schedule since middle school.
So even in high school, I do this.
Today is Saturday. School is closed. So I can go to work.
After the jog, I get back home. I take a shower and prepare my breakfast.
My parents are still sleeping. I have thought about it. Maybe it's about time I get my own apartment.
It's uncomfortable being with my parents. Also, the work is going well.
I can pay for my necessities with my own money.
Let's talk about it later.
I go to the mines.
It really is close from my parents's place.
I report to them and get in my gears.
A heavy lead jacket and radiation proof suit.
The mine I work in deals with radioactive metals.
So I have to wear those. Because of the radiation, most workers quit.
So only a few regulars are working with me which led to the increase in pay.
Pay is decent, work is physically challenging but I enjoy it.
In this day and age, it should be done by robots. But due to the radiation, robots don't function well.
A few accidents have occurred and after that, they stopped using robots.
The working hour is 6 hours. I will he free before 2.
What will I do today? Let's house hunt.
I need to look for a decent house.
I look for a house. I walk around the town and look.
But no one is willing to let me rent it.
I am infamous. Because of that one incident.
I feel like I went overboard that time but I am not guilty.
Still, fear is something that holds you hostage.
You cannot break free.
So their fear is justified. I haven't given up hope yet. I will find my home.
And after searching for a long time, I found it.
My dream home. It's a newly built apartment building.
Searching for tenants. I contact the owner and he said ok.
That easily. Apparently a construction company has opened this. So they don't care about the tenants.
The rent is reasonable and place is nice.
A little far from the mines but I don't mind.
I completed the paperwork for the room.
I get back home. During dinner I ask my parents.
"I will move out. I have found a room. So be my guarantor." I ask them.
"Moving huh? Well no problems here." My dad tried to sound indifferent but I know.
I imagined him making the guts pose in his mind.
He signed papers and with that I am good to go.
I move out the next day.
My first step towards freedom. I was free from the beginning but somehow I felt restricted.
With this, I won't have to face my parents. I can work and pay for myself.
I can cook for myself. My grades are average and my reputation is bad.
But living like this for the past seven years, I got used to it.
The kids in my class still give me dubious looks.
But no one messes with me. Was that thing really this terrible?
I just keep mining while thinking all this stuff.
When I stopped to look at my clock, it was already late. My shift has ended more than an hour ago.
I put down my pickaxe and leave the mine.
But what was there was something I had not expected.
A burning land. Destruction everywhere. That shook me a bit. But I was surprisingly calm.
So calm that a part of me even said,
'Are you even human?'
I could hear that in my mind. So I laughed.
And with this the dream ended.
I woke up. That was a dream? It felt vivid and really real.
I could see Hazel beside me, sleeping. It's morning. Light is entering the room through the curtains.
I haven't seen a dream for all this time.
But being here is probably the reason why I saw one.
I get up and look at the clock.
It's 6 in the morning. I take a look at my phone.
It is connected to the main data center and sends me information.
I see that one satellite is picking up a signal.
Something is approaching this planet.
So I guess, the invaders are finally coming back.
Now the real fun begins. But I have to be careful.
I don't know if they know about me. What'll they do is another matter I need to be careful of.
But I won't die. I want to see them first and if possible, go to their home or planet or whatever.
Call me a madman or freak, I am doing this. So let's get ready to welcome the guests.

Entering the ship I thought that science fiction had come true.But I can't find anything science related.I mean, where is the bridge? And also, it looks like it's made from steel but it feels different.I search the ship. And after a while, I thought of giving up.I mean, I can't find anything. It doesn't look like it has a power source. Then, how the hell did this thing fly?Something like an engine or a reactor should be here.But no matter where I searched, I couldn't find it.Maybe it's hidden.I am dejected. I look at Hazel."Can you find something?" I ask her.She sniffed around a bit and started running.I follow her. And two minutes later, I am in front of a door.This door looks a little different.A little taller than me. Come to think of it, I have searched all of this ship.But, from the outside, it looked pretty small.I believe I have walked over a kilometer just searching this ship once.I ask Hazel,"Do you feel anything?"She nodded and wagged her tail.Maybe she w

I am spying on the aliens. I have also stolen a few of their stuff.So it turns out that I can understand them if I wear the amulet.I am hiding behind a tree. Hazel is with me.It is quite an amateurish move but based on their behavior, I don't think they will notice.I hear their conversation."It didn't go as we planned.""Yes. We killed them as planned but we didn't get that.""But it's too quick to give up.""Right. Let's right a report and leave this wretched place.""Yes. Nothing but death lingers. It's too eerie.""Yes. Let's go inside."They went inside of the ship.I am stuck. They came here for a reason but it wasn't here.I am very interested in them. But I have found some interesting stuff.That gun and staff is still with me.I should test them out. But not now.I should probably wait. Let's stalk them.I look at the ship.It doesn't look like it's going to fly away. So I head back to my place.It's already night after all. But how did this much time pass?I didn't even

I currently have the gun that I stole with me.It is still weird. A lot like a space gun but nothing that could be said as ammunition is there.I look closely. It is carved with intricate artwork.Is this a ritual or something or maybe the general model? I can see a trigger.I hold the gun and pull the trigger.To my surprise nothing happened. I wasn't even expecting it so no surprise there.I pulled it again but still no answer.Hazel is looking at me and I thought, 'why not?'I point the gun at Hazel and pull the trigger.This time, I can see light gathering at the muzzle.Arehh? Isn't something happening? But before I kne

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.

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 have lied about my amnesia and being stranded on this planet. Let's just hope she isn't too good at deducting.Hearing this Fay made a really dumb face. Like she completely believes me. She is giving me a pitiful smile."Don't worry. Everything will be just fine." (Fay)She says and embraces me. She is rubbing my head and trying to show me some pity.Is she just dumb or is she like me? I can't get a read on her. But now that she has embraced me, I feel something hitting me.Two mounds are pushing against me. I totally feel them.She is petite. So I thought she would be flat. But she has nice curves. Still, she is short.About 150 centimetres. And her expressions are like a doll. Calculated till the very end.Well, that's my first impression of her. But first impressions aren't everything. She might show something weird or something deadly."Mmm...ummmm....can you….let me...go now?" I ask her. Her twin mounds hitting me is nice and all but it might lead to trouble if it went on for

I am here at the field again. Why are they landing here of all places? And near this city?It is a question I would like to ask. I am back in the position again. Behind the same tree, I am eavesdropping on them.But the numbers have increased. There are 5 of them. Judging from their looks, one of them is a female. At least I think.I have left Hazel and Eden back at home. Bringing them to a potential battle zone would be careless.I have the amulet with me. So I can hear them talk.I can see them talking. And now that I look carefully, they are....handsome.They look really handsome. And that supposed female is also beautiful. What is with this?If they were from this planet, they would be super models. Anyway, they are flashy in terms of appearance.With weird hair color and styles.They have red, green, blue, purple and blonde hair respectively.The supposed female has blonde hair and her attire is different from the men.The air she has around her has a regal feel. Like she is a no

I have already taken the gun. It turned out to be a . I have taken the staff as well.But what can the staff do is still unknown. I am in that open field. Testing out my new weapons. Mastering the weapons would give me a better shot at beating them up.My plan is simple. When the next ship comes, I will attack them. I mean, I will ambush them. Being ambushed is something everyone hates, right?And I will restrain them or more like kill them. It is often said that never spare your enemy because they will come back and get their revenge.I am not doing this for revenge. I am just doing this to survive. I don't think they would spare me if they found out about me.So before I fall into their clutches, I will do something by myself. Maybe go to their planet and hide. From what I saw, they look like normal humans. It would be easy if I can just blend in with them. And with this my future planning is done.Now I focus on my staff and equip it. I just have to wish for it to be

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 gl
