'Alive' ? I asked, stunned by the words of white. 'please help me white' , i pleaded, 'i can help you', he assured, but it is very risky, i dont care white, just help me please. Okay, if you insist then touch me son. 'but you are like a spirit', i asked confused, just do it son, he replied and immediately i tried to touch him, i appeared in front of my mother, she doesn't seem to be aware of my presence until i called her name, she immediately answered and didn't act confused, mum, 'do you recognize me'? I asked, no, I don't know you, she replied. I was starting to get confused myself but I immediately understood it's a realm glitch. Ok then, 'follow me will you' ?, i asked and immediately, we met ourselves in the second realm. I never thought it would work but it did. Almost immediately, all my mom's regret and unaccomplished mission began to surface. I turned my back and made sure my regrets didn't mix with hers. It's better if she doesn't find out who i am. About some moments later, white appeared, 'it has started' he said quite calmly, 'what happened white'? I asked enthusiastically, since you broke the sacred rules of the realms, your body and soul have started to lose connection and your body's heart beat is slowing down. i think you should visit your dad right now, i will help your mum decide the rest, trust me you are going to have her alive. Suddenly, I started to run into a plethora of worlds and realms. In some, I got smaller and in some I got bigger. Some stretched me like a noodle, and some i crumpled up until i finally landed in a very quiet and serene environment. Then i saw a strange figure a couple of metres away from where i landed, it was a rough trip through those realms, wasn't it? Immediately i heard those words, i quickly noticed that it was my father. The comforting tone definitely belongs to him. Immediately, i tried to speak but i couldn't, 'don't push it Dave', he said, you are just here as a clone white is trying his best to keep your body and soul together, and thankfully your mum is back alive. "Dave, the reason why you are here is because i want to give you some certain instructions so that you wouldn't fail like i did", there is an impending doom waiting to unleash on your world this would make you go on a journey beyond your wildest imagination. i could have stopped it a long time ago, but i didn't realize i had to leave my birth country first but now that i gave birth to you in a different country, you seem to have completed the first stage, take every man's word seriously especially the elders and never forget your creator, and please fill the gap i left for your mum, i will certainly come back to meet you but only once. I have crossed the bridge of life and death, so i have limited time before my soul lays to rest in this wonderfully quiet realm, the mystery behind the great white light is the creator, and he has brought many helpers along your way, seen and unseen, animate and Inanimate . Never neglect anyone's advice or attention boy, so long son, your time is almost up white is on his way here, next time you meet, you should tell him he does a good job being in charge of the limbo. Almost immediately, white spawned at my back and said an unusual phrase "luyah chosen one" and i faded off the realm like a shovel of dust!
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★The light penetrated into my iris, and the ciliary muscles were busy trying to adjust, this caused a blur and i tried to sit but i was too weak, my eyes steadily became clearer and i found out that different people dressed in white were lined in front of me with their mouth hung open, i tried to speak but it turned out my mouth had been caged, 'ohh.. it's an oxygen mask' i thought for a moment, i couldn't decipher where i was, i looked around and finally found out that i was in a hospital, different patients were lying on the bed and they were being attended to. Suddenly, i felt a sharp pain in my head and it forced out a yelp, i eidetically remembered everything that happen to the point where i slip and hit my head, the doctors and nurses were scared to move closer to me and i didn't even know why, i doesn't matter to me either way, i just wanted to know where my dad was, reminiscing everything that happened made me snap, i yanked off the oxygen mask and shouted on top of my voice 'where is my dad' a doctor moved closer to me trembling, 'your dad is fine' he said trying to calm me down, i felt a sting and my eyes began to dim until shadow enveloped my completely.★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★I woke up to the annoying sound of a constant beep, i sat on the bed and looked around and and everywhere looked tranquil, then it dawned on me that i just glanced at a familiar face, i quickly redirect my gaze and found a glad man seated right beside me, 'Mr lance' you are here i said delightfully, he smiled at me and said 'your health is getting better' he assured smiling, but sir where is my dad and mom? i asked, hoping to get a positive answer, i will surely tell you but not now, okay? 'So calm down and rest, the doctors are still scared of you' he said looking at the life support machine beside me, is there anything i should know about me? I asked enthusiastically, you know boy, 'three days ago', don't mind my accent he added, your heartbeat dropped to about ten beat per minute and the doctors taught they were going to lose you, until you sprang and acted all energetic so they had to put you back to sleep with a dose of their sleep injection thing, 'ohh that explains my dream', i said trying to recall every part of it, 'what dream is that' he asked, it's just a crazy dream i had, i will tell you about it when i am discharged from this prison, i murmured struggling to free myself from the intertwined wire connections all around me, a quick memory of school flashed my brain and i sighed, what's it Dave? He asked, So i explained to him everything that happens to me at high school and also that i am scared to go back because of the whole incident, then he smiled, and told me “well you don't need to worry about these anymore because you will be traveling with me to defense headquarters.TBC.It's been a few weeks since i have left the hospital and my mum's situation is scary, she reportedly has a skull fracture which will take quite some time to heal, 'it's a miracle she's alive' the doctor has said, so now I will have to follow Mr. Lance to the defense headquarters pending the time my mom heals. Tomorrow we'll set out for the HQ, and nights like this since the past few weeks I have been sitting outside this hotel, gazing at the starry night, reminiscing every part of my strange dream. Mr. Lance had once told me to hold on to every part of the experience that it's more of a revelation than a dream, and i totally agree with him. 'It's late son', you should come inside. Mr Lance voice pierced my thoughts so I jerked up and got ready to move inside, we barely took few steps when some guys came out from the shadows right beside us and pointed a gun at Mr. Lance's head then three more guys come out from the other end of the street with more weapons, 'hey put down all your va
Immediately he commanded, one of the armored guys whipped out some kind of colorful handcuff from his suit and put them on one of my hands, i wanted to protest but I suddenly felt a calm sensation like i was being hypnotized, so i followed him willfully, it was like i was controlled. After walking a few, we got to a shining portal, the armored guy entered and i inadvertently followed. I suddenly met myself in a transparent white tube, and each tube seems to be arranged in a pattern. I tried to move my legs but they were stuck, within a blink, I was moving through the vacuum tube, then suddenly, I paused and a door suddenly opened. I walked into the room and looked back, but the guy behind me was gone I was starting to get scared until a robotic voice echoed across the room “welcome to your room, I am vMax a help bot, here if you need me” the room went all silent again and I moved around, 'how has it come to this' I looked around and the room is the most beautiful place I have ever set
He had a cold and emotionless stare, I felt like he would devour me. He is just about the same age or few years older than me. I quickly looked away but I noticed that his head was back on his laps. I spotted uncle Lance in a distance and I approached him. When I finally met him he asked if I had eaten and I just realized that I haven't taken anything in hours, I was so tensed that I didn't even feel hungry at all. 'Seems you made a new friend', uncle Lance said with a faint smile. I shrugged and followed uncle Lance back to one of the hall doors, I think you should go back to your room and find something to eat, just ask vMax and everything will be ready in seconds. Once back at my room, I ordered for a cheese cake and apple juice, but I still couldn't get my mind off the guy in black. He looks really strange and he has an intimidating aura. After consuming the whole meal, I dropped the debris down the garbage chute and rested in the chamber. I had really hated school but now I ac
~UNCLE LANCE'S POV~I couldn't believe the zyganach could have done that, being the zyganach does not mean you can make decisions without consulting the emperors and the sages, I walked down the dignitary terrain as I thought of the rash decision made my the zyganach. I just left the starry meeting and the meeting ended in a mess. I called on the transtubes through the help of vMax, as I was about to head to the training ground when ice sage came and reported a constantly reoccurring incident to me again, the 'harvester of lives' is trying to get through the power valley again but this time, when we caught him, he smirked. Icesage said, feeling a little bit worried. Masked within his feeling of worry, fear was implanted, it was like I could see through his mind. How could such a calm man have a lot of complex feelings, 'Just let him go' I said, and icesage went with a more puzzled look on his face, but he wasn't too surprised, I always freed the guy whenever he was caught like this.
~Dave~Seems the self proclaimed "harvester Of lives" finally got himself into a fight, I thought, as he maneuvered his palm past a sage's and hit one of his students on his shoulder, the force made him stagger and fall on his butt. The sage threw him a deadly glance and their eyes locked on. Uncle lance smiled and muttered faintly saying "The ocean and the iceberg" then he approached them. We were quite far from where they were so it took a while before uncle lance walked up to them. The guy that fell down was already on his feet and he looked sullen, he seems to be playing victim when he was the one that asked for trouble anyway. Harvester Of lives was already moving towards me as he walked past Uncle lance casually, he just bowed and continued walking towards me. ~Ice sage ~Damn!! I can't believe I couldn't hinder that guy's palm, well I saved knife edge's life anyway, if that palm had not been deflected by my hand, he would be under surgery right now. Despite his palm being def
~HOL~I brought out a paper and scribbled some stuff across the paper, it was the first skill of the first part of the deified Ultra Combat Arts. I skipped the preparatory parts that activates the deity's potion since it's going to be a waste of time. He hasn't taken the potion and I don't have any. Even if I do, I won't even waste it on a rascal like him. I wrote the precautions and sketched the standing training positions, it doesn't even look too complete but he wouldn't find out anyway. After picking the heads and the tails and joining them in an understandable way, I tossed them to him and told him to learn it as fast as possible then he whipped out the translated text and give it to me. A sinister smile etched across my face as he walked off, he translated the text too well and I can now learn the real second part without any setback. Also, I gave him a vague and pointless exercise to keep him off me for now, it seems to be a very good bargain after all. ~Dave~"Deified Arms" I
~Hol~"The sky, the earth, the arm, all together to harm" those were the words that came to my mind when buggy guy threw his arms at me, It looked like the only thing I could see was him arm. The sky and the land joined the arm as it came towards me, it looked like it had been destined by the deity himself that the hand would hit me but I have seen a lot of punches and this is not something that would threaten me the least. I quickly raised my hand to stop his, I locked on it to avoid a sonic boom. Vibration coursed through my body as I absorbed the shock to prevent noise, but to my surprise, the Shockwave generated by it still had an effect radius of about 50 meters. I shuddered backward and almost coughed up blood. I have absorbed most of the power and the shockwave is still this powerful? , I was gobsmacked by the spectacle. I wanted him to try it again but I shelved the idea to avoid suspicion. "I can't help you" I said, why? He asked, almost immediately. I can't help you If you do
~Dave~ I felt like a should smack one of them to found out if it would actually work but I didn't want to cause a ruckus so I just planned on testing it on Hol instead. As I walked, i saw the people train in synergy, it felt awesome to see so many people train so energetically. After walking a few kilometers, I finally got to where Hol was sitting. I immediately noticed that he was brimming with unusual power that seems to be greater than others, after several observations, I finally deduced that it was his energy core. I walked up to him and observed his paralyzing points, I sprinted froward and tried to smack a point, he didn't even look up as he was just reading the translated text I gave him, he seems to be obsessed with the thing. He evaded the strike and returned it, it was so fast, my eyes couldn't track it. I wanted to speed off with dragon feet but the speed of the strike was so much that I would still be hit if I ran. So, I swung my legs and the strike hit my feet. That was
I started to get apprehensive. "Is this really Dave or an impostor?" I thought. I found an excuse to leave, so I went to a quiet place and brought out my research journal. I wanted to check if there was anything related to his communicator. Aha! I shouted within as I spotted the device. It was a new high-tech variant to Zephyr whisperer, and it's very inconspicuous. I only noticed it because I paid rapt attention to his ear. Since the device is from the CS, that means the person using it is also a CS member. I thought about it for a moment and connected some figurative dots. "There is a high chance that Dave from now is just a clone," I thought. The clone was probably a variant from the root module called the egg, the fluid mechanism that could change to any device once the code is input; it was the CS's latest tech.I snapped out of my daze and decided to find out if Dave was truly impersonated by a robot. I thought of a plan, so I put a call through to Joe. "Hello Joe, can you help
"Took you long enough," the skill is "TIME ECHO," HOL said as he lunged towards me. Fighting HOL had always been my greatest headache; he was too nimble and insidious. He was always a troublesome fellow to deal with.Boom!! I took the hit with my dragon legs. I went hurling backwards and almost hit my head before I regained balance. But HOL was fine, standing stalwart like a stallion. "Damn this stupid skill," I cursed silently, but not due to anger. It was because my fighting spirit had peaked. My eyes went burning with zeal; I could already feel my deified aura, and I was very sure that it was within my grasp. I exploded in HOL's direction without even waiting for the last encounter to cool down. HOL also didn't give me a moment of reprieve as he moved at a speed of about 2500 m/s. I marveled at his speed because my puny speed of about 300m/s paled in comparison to his. Due to the cave being so small, HOL reached where I was in a fraction of a second. Too fast!! I barely took two st
"So what's its real name?" EDEN, HOL replied. "So where is this Eden located?" I asked with piqued curiosity."No one knows," HOL explained. "Some say it's underground, while some say it's in another world entirely."I nodded as I tried to comprehend what he just said, but I ended up with more questions than answers."I think we have to find a place to camp for now so we can set out tomorrow.""There is no day and night cycle here," HOL replied. "If we walk farther, we are going to see a lighted area. There are several routes that we can pass to avoid dark areas. Also, we warriors have a nice grasp of time, so there are no qualms with the system here."I was still quite confused, though, but I was too lazy to ask questions because I would only end up with more questions. But there was a question burning in my heart that I couldn't help but ask: "So how do the plants here photosynthesis?"HOL turned to me and replied, "I know you can feel the energy radiating here. As we warriors feed
"Wait, now?" I said, clearly confused."Yes, the place only opens at night," HOL said.I quickly took permission from him so I could inform my mum. While HOL packed some of the things we needed, I ran to my mum's room and knocked on the door."You can come in," my mum said.I opened the door and met her meditating on an invisible platform she made from energy. It seemed like she was afloat, tapping energy from her energy dispenser. She was clearly healing herself."Mum, I will have to be on my way right now. I want to accompany HOL to a place that apparently only opens at night.""Hmm!" My mum heaved a sigh and said, "That means you are going to the 'expanse of warriors.' Please be careful. Make sure you don't die."I was suddenly taken aback, because whenever my mum said "don't die" that meant she noticed that danger was coming. I nodded in reply and bid her goodbye.I walked up to HOL as he was packing his stuff. I looked into his eyes and said, "Hey, you didn't tell me where we are
A figure came dashing out of the shadows with an astonishing speed of over 2000m/s. Like a passing light, he ran towards Jade's uncle, picked him up by the neck, and slammed him into a nearby tree. The tree shuddered vigorously.I quickly activated Body and increased my visual range to make out the figure of the expert that came dashing in. "What!!" I exclaimed with my mouth wide open. It turned out it was HOL!!"What is he even doing here?" I thought as I examined him again to be sure it was really him. I wasn't wrong, though, but there was something different about him. I ran up to them and came just in time to see HOL showing his "KING OF COMBAT ARTS" identification card.Jade's uncle became gobsmacked as he suddenly started to kowtow several times a second. He seemed not to care about the faintly blue blood dripping out of his nose from the earlier encounter. It was a really weird sight to behold: one was a matured man in his thirties with kids, while the other was a guy in his ea
The three burly men were heavily smoking. When they saw us, they started moving towards us. The look of worry in Jade's eyes betrayed her thoughts. She knew them and was scared of them.It seemed those guys were bullying the old people in the neighborhood, turning it into a shadow of its former self. Many people were leaving or even refusing to come out. And if there was anything I hated to the bone, it was bullies!Suddenly, one of them, who seemed to be the one leading, spoke. "Hey, pretty girl, where's the money we asked for? Five grands, no less," he said, stretching his hands with a dirty smirk on his face. Then he looked at me and said, "Or do you want pretty boy to pay for you?"I sized them up. There was no energy pulsating from them, neither was there any strength in their cores of energy to speak of. If there was anything I learned from emotion, it was that the right choice of words deals the greatest damage.So I quickly retaliated. "Just because you came here with your leg
He started coming towards me, but I didn't behave like I saw him. I scanned through him and noticed that he didn't harbor any ill intent. He got right before me and Jade and stretched forth his hands for a handshake. At this point, everyone around had left what they were doing to check out what would happen next. I put my hands in my pocket and rejected him outright. Everyone around was shocked, including Jade. He retrieved his hand carefully and threw me a harmless smile, which I replicated with my characteristic smirk. I held Jade's hand and left immediately. "Hey, even if you are going to compete with him later, you shouldn't breed animosity towards him from the get-go," Jade said, uncertainty visible on her face. "You can't understand," I replied as I quickly found a place with less people and sat her down on a rock there. "Please, I need your help. Which faction is he from?" I asked, impatiently waiting for an answer. Jade pondered for a while and finally answered, "I think he
IP basically looked like an inconspicuous bracelet that is fastened to my right arm. It has always been there, even when I take my bath. I once asked IP if it could retract from my arm, but it said it wasn't capable of such functions. But the bracelet my mom is holding right now is more flashy, and she calls it the energy dispenser. She handed it over and said it could hold at least 8 PEPS of energy. She also warned that I should not store different kinds of energy in one device.I thought about it for a few seconds and figured out what she was talking about. She had explained the types of power before then, and naturally it would require different types of energy to power them. I took the bracelet and immediately poured out the restless energy inside me into the energy dispenser. It read 0.5 PEP. It was supposed to be a full PEP, but half of it was used to restore the energy lost by my body. I thanked my mom and immediately ran to that energy chair, drained it dry and transferred all
```I looked at my mum in a new light. I never knew she was capable of such a feat. I put all my excitement aside and asked IP to show what the energy deliverer would do to help cultivate "Absorb".She took a quick glance and she nodded, seemingly impressed. Then she sat back on her invisi-chair.I took my stance as directed by the book. Then a tiny stream of energy swam out of my mum's finger. It wiggled like a snake as it approached me. I thrust my palm out in a bid to absorb it, but when it made contact with my arm, I jolted backwards because it shocked me to my core!! . I held in the pain, having cultivated my emotions. I then acted like nothing happened.This went on for a while until I started to feel resistant to the pain. Now the pain wasn't coming from contact with the energy; it was coming from storing the energy in my body. If any absorbed energy lasted more than a second, I would feel that jolting pain rocking around the bones of my body. It was excruciatingly painful. Eve
