THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) 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
THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) 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

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

"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

"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

"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

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

I woke up to the annoying sound of the alarm clock, i fumbled as i tried to switch it off, so i stood up reluctantly to switch off the "noise machine" as I always loved to call it. I smiled releasing the day it was, the day i finally get hospitalized, it's the day of 'death battle', the crazy fight between i and the school's biggest bully, Jake. I used to be a nerdy teen until i heard that my dad has one of the crazy international defense master as his close friend, i did a long term video lesson with him and he gave me crazy tips, so i immediately knew who would suffer the consequences of my new learned tactics. I challenged the crazy bully few days ago and he scheduled today for the fight. I walked to the mirror and looked at my face confidently, saying to myself; 'you are the best dude, you can do this, today is the day you finally …. …. .. i heard a knock on the door and paused, i ran to the door to check who it was .'Hey Dave' Trevor greeted with a glittering smile, why are you h

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

```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
