THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) JOURNEY TWENTY-FOUR
```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
THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) JOURNEY TWENTY-FIVE
```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 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
THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) 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
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
THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) 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
THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION) 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
