The silent space was filled with the ticking of the pointer as the wheel was finally coming to a stop.

The boy's heart was pounding so much that you would be able to hear it if it werent for the wheel and the pointer.

The boy hadnt checked any of the destinies on the wheel before spinning it but as the wheel was slowing down he could see the destinies written, albeit only a little but he could make out the meaning of the destinies.

On one of the destinies that he was able to see was written 'to be guillotined'. He started to have double thoughts on spinning the wheel but when he remembered he didnt have a choice he became a bit calm, with his thoughts being 'Whats the worse that could happen, I would die, thats it.'

He said those words in his mind to encourage himself and feel a bit better but the fear of death was still present in his heart.

The wheel was coming to a stop.

And it finally stopped.

The boy had his fingers crossed and was slowly opening his eyes as he couldnt hear the whirring of the wheel anymore, he was currently prepared for anything that could happen. Even if he was going to die, he would accept his destiny.

Upon opening his eyes he saw the destiny that the pointer had stopped on. There were only two words written and they were...

SPIN AGAIN

"Huh?" The boy exclaimed as he was really shocked. He didnt know that such an option even existed on the wheel and yet he got it.

He didnt know what to do, did he have to spin it again or what?

He looked at the man but the man didnt utter a single word so he shifted his gaze back to the wheel and stood there thinking until he was interrupted by the man's voice again "Come on, hurry up and spin the wheel again, I don't have time."

After hearing the man's voice he was suddenly shaken up, but he regained his composure and spinned the wheel again but this time he didnt spin it rather he controlled the wheel like it was a steer and lifted his hands off the wheel when he had kept the option he wanted in the direction of the pointer.

It would probably be called cheating but since the man only told to spin it, he didnt clarify it properly.

Since he turned the wheel, he technically had spinned the wheel.

'Its very idiotic and foolish but whats the worst that could happen, I will die and after checking all those destinies death is probably a better choice.' The boy thought in his mind

The destiny that the pointer landed on.... I mean the destiny in which the pointer was kept on had the words...

AS YOU WISH

This was the most perfect and the best option which was on the wheel other than the 'LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY' option, which he didn't like very much, since the man didnt specify to whom would the boy be losing his virginity to so it could even mean losing your virginity to a man and since how strange the man was, he didnt know what the man would do to him, so the boy didnt pick this option.

And also because his foster mother had just died and he didnt feel that it was appropriate.

The man didnt look back at the boy but he asked "What do you wish your destiny to be."

'Hmph, I outsmarted this sun of a...' the boy said in his mind. 'Anyway what should I choose my destiny to be, I thought he would tell me that its not allowed but to my surprise he actually allowed it.'

"I want to be reincarnated." the boy told after a few seconds of thinking

The man smiled when heard this. He thought the boy would ask to send him back home but instead he asked to be reincarnated.

'Hahaha, Its my first time seeing a kid like this in one of the larin world. I will just go along the kid's plan and see where he goe... wait no, if I go along his plans he will trust people too much. I will bend his plans.'

The man turned his face towards the boy and gave a devilish grin.

When the boy saw the grin his hairs stood, he knew something was about to happen and his suspicions were turned into reality when the man spoke"Only if you get out of here alive."

He disappeared with the dark smoke replacing his place, until a second later, even the smoke disappeared.

This surprised the boy, he didnt know what to do nor did he know what the man was going to do.

He was mindlessly looking around in the darkness in all directions, he was preparing for if the man appeared again and tried to kill him. But after a few minutes nothing happened until...

"Huh" he said as he thought something was strange. Well, everything was strange but he realised that something was missing and it didnt take him long before he found out what it was "The monitors and the chair, where did they go?"

The monitors were the only things that were visible yet he did not see them and the worst of all how was his vision unaffected even after they werent there anymore.

He walked past the wheel which was supposedly blocking his view of the monitors and stood at the place where they were previously placed before and searched around but he didnt find anything other than dust.

He turned back to look at where the wheel was previously present and what he saw was darkness.

Now all he could see was endless darkness. The wheel which had been somewhat radiating a bit of light was also out of sight.

'What in the hell is happening? First the man disappears then the monitors and now the wheel!' He cursed in his mind. 'Whats next, the floor....' He instantly went quiet after saying that as if he thought that it might really happen but it didnt.

'Whew, almost jinxed myself.' He said in his mind while wiping off the sweat on his forehead.

After a few minutes of trying to figure out what was going on, his head starting thinking seriously 'Its strange, the way the monitors disappeared without even letting me notice the change of luminosity in this place and also the wheel, it was as if it also radiated light. If I look at the floor now, its as if my vision covers a certain area despite the light.' He came to a conclusion while also looking at the floor to make sure his hypothesis was right.

'But my field of vision spans almost for like 10 metres so how wasnt I able to see the wheel and the monitors disappear.' his mind went into another spiral of thoughts and it wasnt long before he again came to a conclusion 'Wait! If either light or the darkness cant affect my certain field of vision then it is possible that the man teleported them when I wasnt looking and it is pretty believable since I actually didnt see them disappear.'

'But what will figuring out all these things help for me to get out of this place. It has been around ten minute but the man still hasnt shown himself after telling me "only if get out of here alive." How the hell am I supposed get out of here alive. He must be like some crazy wizard who likes to kill people mercilessly and abduct kids then starve them to their deaths in his lair. Even of I manage to get lucky and find a door then what possibility is there that he wont kill me.' He thought in his mind.

It was just what the man had wanted was happening, the boy was losing trust in people.

His thoughts wandered to the scene of his foster mother, making his mood sullen. He started to think of the memories he shared with her. Even if it was only for five years, those five years were his best.

He lay back on the floor and started to cry, with rivers flowing down his cheeks.

In the endless darkness, he sat on the ground crying.

He remembered that when they were fighting the sun was still rising and the sky was bluish black in colour but now the sun was setting, giving the sky a golden colour.He also noticed how far they were from the land because before, the lights of some buildings could be seen but now there was none. It didnt take him long to realise that there was literally no land, all he could see was water, endless water."Dont worry I telepprted us to an area where nobody can see what we are about to do, so dont worry of exposing yourself to the humans." Gainis said after looking at his confused expression.It had been 15 seconds since Ballard was punched in the chest which made it cave in and also receive internal damage.Those injuries had already started to heal. They were no where near to be called healed but the process had already begun. It would take around three to four

He said as he saw a boy with black hairs sitting on a ditch with his legs raised up which were providing support to his arms on which his head was resting while facing the ground.The boy raised his head when he heard the voice.When Gainis properly inspected the boy he was shocked "How long has it been!" He asked the boy."Six weeks." The boy replied with a lifeless voice."And you are still alive!" He was shocked for a an already skinny boy to survive a month and half without food or water.He was shocked because when he properly inspected the boy he could see the boy's bony arms and legs, 12 pairs of ribs and an almost non-existent abdomen.Gainis had seen people of this planet survive that long without food and water but all of them had a very well built body, which in the boy's case it was totally different.The boy was alre

    "Because I want you to be a threat to the higher ups. I am tired of being controlled by someone, so I want you to change the current way of the universe.""Elaborate please." The boy said in frustration as he wasnt clearly understanding what Gainis was saying."You see, I am considered as a grade 3 dark walker and being a grade 3 dark walker isnt good at all. Its only better than grade 1 and 2 dark walkers.The higher ups treat the dark walkers which are below the grade 4 mark like dogs, we dont get enough respect.And not only that, but also its that, we the dark walkers are forced to do this. We arent even doing it willingly." Gainis explained."Yeah I kind of get what you are talking about. But why me, can't you do that yourself. I can't even control Mana" He said innocently but something else was going on his head."Thats because dark walkers, light walkers and any other species that are aware of the knowledge of Mana and the energies are severely restricted by the descendants of t

    Clay was sitting in the carriage where the corpse lay on his foot. He had spent the last few minutes to calm himself down. His breathing had returned to normal and his face had turned cold. The previous shaking and shivering in his body had stopped completely. 'Lets see what is going on outside.' The last few minutes he spent on calming himself down, he had heard creaking and thudding noises coming from outside of his carriage. He hadn't looked out of the window. He came to a conclusion that the carriages were under attack. He hadn't gone or looked out because he wanted to be emotionally stable. Now that he was, he opened the door and came out. As soon as he came out he saw some guards were killed and some of them were not in their positions. The area they were currently at was a forest, there was a dense forest apart from the clean road made for the carriages and caravans. Clay silently made his way towards the forest

    It was midnight, Clay was asleep along with many other people except for the guards guarding the carriages. Clay and the butler were sleeping in the carriage. The eyes of the butler suddenly opened. Clay's hairs stood up when the eyes of the man opened but the man failed to notice the Goosebumps on the boy's body. The man stood up and made his way towards the boy. A dagger formed in his hand and raised it in the air. "Goodbye kid" he whispered as the hands which were holding the dagger flung in the direction of his chest. Swoosh The silent sound of an object flying through air could be heard which was then followed by the sound of flesh hitting flesh. Clay's eyes were opened along with both of his hands tightly holding onto his dear life. The dagger was just a few centimetres away from stabbing into his chest. The man got surprised when he saw the strength of the boy but composed himself. Clay's hands which were trying

    For the past 6 six months Clay trained like a maniac. He did training for both, the path of consciousness and the path of body. At first he was reluctant because he thought he was being too greedy and that it would probably bring harm to his body but when he remembered that Gaines didn’t tell anything about choosing multiple paths would harm him, so he ignored the warnings of not choosing both the paths and started his path of body training. Gainis hadn’t explained the path of body properly but Clay used his knowledge to understand what Gainis had probably missed out in the explanation. He made out the explanation to be that, you will have work your body to the max, you shouldn’t just be focused on muscle strength but also on the strength of your bones, skin, organs, immunity and whatever that is considered as a part of your body. He was currently strengthening only his muscles and immunity. He would train everyday for two hours to improve his muscle strength and as for his immun

But how stupid can you be to buy a slave that doesn't even have a core for 25 golds. Even slaves with core are cheaper than that." One of the person scolded the other person"Stop scolding me, I didn't know that slaves are that cheap." The other person repliedWhile those two were bickering, Clay had become fully conscious and was staring at the two people in front of him. One was a woman wearing the clothes of a maid and the other was a man wearing decent clothes but by their conversation it was clearly visible that the maid was superior than the maid, as she was the one complaining to the man.Both of them noticed Clay staring at them, so they stopped fighting "Kid what

    The message ended.... '*sigh*How much more did he forget to tell me. He didn't even explain about the sea of consciousness properly. Not only that but all the explanations that he gave me are so vague. He doesn't know to teach properly, I will just have to rely on my knowledge. Leaving that aside, I am feeling the same sensation that he described on how absorbing Mana would feel like.' he finally came to a realisation 'Wait, no way, am I already absorbing Mana. It all makes sense now, my heightened senses, warm soothing feeling. But he told me that I will be able to absorb Mana after two days of meditation. *Chuckles* Guess I am a prodigy. I should have already realised that, I am such an idiot.' he sighed at his own stupidity. After a while he stopped blaming himself for being so stupid and started reviewing the information Gaines gave him.

    He sat back on the ground and started reciting the mantra.He was able to do it without meditating, which made him a million times happy. He hated meditation and didn’t like to just sit in one place and do nothing.He was a very active child.'The weird sensation can be ignored so it's a pretty decent discovery for me. I can carry on with my daily life and still get insight on my consciousness.' he said in his mind happily.But the happiness was cut short when the cave started rumbling.The small stones inside the cave vibrated until the rumbling stopped after a few seconds.The first thing that came to Clay's mind was 'earthquake' but that was proven wrong since it was way too short for an earthquake and he had also heard a big thud before the cave had started to rumble.He stood back up and looked at the darkness in the cave from where he heard the big thud.He unconsciously gulped in fear, but after a few seconds the fear turned into curiosity. He wanted to what was happening, he w
