THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) JOURNEY EIGHTEEN
"You are going back to you mum" uncle Lance said with a faint smile across his face, i was so happy that I almost jumped up, despite cultivating my will after many months, i couldn't hold in my excitement, I had missed my mom so much and also Trevor. Speaking of Trevor, I contacted him a long time ago, and his device was gone without any traces, vMax tried everything possible and the only thing it could find was a distress signal from the last call the phone made. So I wanted to go and find Trevor to make sure that he was alright. Uncle Lance told me to follow him to the combat hall and so I followed him. We alighted the transtubes and I was feeling a little bit dizzy so I rubbed my eyes with my palm, looks like the effect of what icesage did to me is still messing with my system. I opened my eyes slowly and through my smudged vision I could make out the shape of countless individuals in uniform, I snapped out of my unconsciousness and I realized that each and every warrior

~Emperor sage~"Its been few months since Dave's mum recovered" I thought as I pondered on how to make their lives the best it has ever been, the alliance restricted me from communicating with Dave's dad but I still did it stealthily but now that he is gone, sad fully, I can now show them that money is just a string of numbers, I will make sure Alicia and her son has the best of everything, I promised myself as I planned how to go about it.

I also created a VIP account in the world bank and deposited it with billions of dollars, such accounts can never be hacked or frozen by anyone.

The soothing wave of polluted air hit my nostrils as I commanded the Ai on the copter to open up the window and let the soothing air waltz in. I rested on the soft and fluffy couch and grabbed a popcorn as I got ready to watch a movie. The copter is quite bigger than other copters and it's a very palatable place to live in, like a flying mini home. "We are now entering stealth mode" the Ai echoed and uncle lance walked in, don't use any device for now it wont work, uncle lance said as he sat beside me, it was obvious that he was talking about IP but according to the signal I was getting from IP it was working fine and it was busy calculating the amount of life mix I had absorbed. Are u going to watch a movie? Uncle Lance asked, "movie?, I said laughing hysterically as I switched on the surveillance camera on the copter." It's been a while since I have been on the surface though, this is worth the show", i said, as the sound of munching popcorn accompanied my voice. Uncle Lance smiled

I rubbed my eyes as the blurry pictures all around gradually formed their respective shapes and images. I woke up and stood up from the bed, I casted body and bent to scratch my itchy back. I tapped on the bed gently and it was soft all over but when i slept on it, it felt like wood, ' looks like i have been spoilt by the CS facilities', i thought, i tried taking my shower and i felt clumsy trying to figure out how to bath alone. This is the point when I miss vMax, I thought. I walked out of the house and got ready for school. I already asked IP about the school and it is actually not as bad as I thought, it is actually an undercover school for extraordinaries or relatives of extraordinaries. It was created by a man who wanted peace between all extraordinaries in the world, and the name of the school is "infinite horizon high". I dressed up and walked downstairs while listening to IP explaining how I had finish absorbing all the life mix overnight, I just ignored him and payed attenti

I saw something that caught my attention, i squinted to confirm my doubt and it turned out i was right, there was a guy with a tattoo "sky warrior" on his arm and it looked like he was deliberately flaunting it, he was about thirteen years or so. I didn't know if it was my alias or there or there was another skywarrior who was prabably a movie star or something so I walked up to him to ask. Hello, bro I like your tattoo, ohh! thanks, he replied, I got it from the popular "Jace the tattoo artist" he added feeling proud of his tattoo and bringing it close to my face. Alrighty, I said then I put my hands on the boys shoulder and said, so who's this sky warrior?, i had read his emotions so i knew he was planning to lie so I asked in a low and demanding voice while bringing out some cash and flaunting it right before his face because I knew humans too well, they wouldnt give out any info unless they wanted something in return and age was not a factor in that matter. I knew deep in his mind

The girl was panting heavily, from the look of things, she was given a crazy chase by those guys and she has been caught up with, backed up In a corner, with her chest heaving. Unbeknownst to those guys, who were busy laughing, she wasn't all that tired and after closer inspection, I noticed that the color of her eyes was changing continuously, she was trying to hold in an explosive power. I looked around and noticed that everyone one was busy doing their stuff, no one was paying attention to what was going on, it seemed bullying was a very common occurrence in the school and the head of the bullying gang looks like he wields some kind of power, I checked his core of energy and i vindicated my point. Well, it was a warrior school anyway, and according to the rules I checked the other time, anyone is allowed to spar with anyone as long as no fatal injuries are involved. I sat down with my legs crossed, as I threw the remnants of my snacks into a far away waste bin with pinpoint accurac

```TRAINING TIME, COSMIC STEWARDS HQ~Emperor Sage~"Now's the time to strike, or is it?" I sat thinking about the situation that led to my friend's death. "Eternal Strength" that was his steward name; if he hadn't been banished, he would have been eons above me in terms of power. I buried my head between my palms in anguish; he had always been a good friend and a very solid shoulder to lean on. I couldn't just get his memory off my mind.I retreated from my thoughts when vMax alerted me that someone was currently at my door. When I saw his pic, I realized that it was Mark, my personal assistant. Although he doesn't really look fit, he is very efficient and, most importantly, he is tight-lipped. I permitted him in and was greeted with his usual plump and funny-looking figure."Any news?" I asked with expectancy."Yes, boss," Mark replied as he got ready to explain. "After acquiring the burnt-down house from the government two years ago, we have been scouring the whole place every day

```A glowing orb sat where Jade used to sit. Turns out she left an energy note. It was the most primitive type; any warrior with decent cultivation would be able to shatter it with a swift of his arm.I crushed the orb, and a set of words came out: "I know you are someone of high status in the CS, which explains why you have this Apex assault vehicle. Who really are you?"I smirked and ordered the car to drive.Actually, she was wrong. CS cars are always divided into two categories: the assault and defense categories. Both categories have the destruction series, which is the lowest class, the mega series, which is better, and then the apex series, which Jade mistook my car for, but my car was actually the "new generation Apex warhead"!! It is capable of various modes of transportation while having the combat capabilities of both the assault and the defense alike. Only that floating cloud of destruction, "the Hegemon," is above it in combat prowess. It was given to the top-notch offici

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
JOURNEY THIRTY-ONE
"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
JOURNEY THIRTY (FIRST JOURNEY - EDEN)
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
JOURNEY TWENTY-NINE
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
JOURNEY TWENTY-EIGHT
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
JOURNEY TWENTY-SEVEN
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
JOURNEY TWENTY-SIX
```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
