Ch 6 - Still Stuck In The Darkness

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Back at the place where the boy was stuck in the darkness.

'Its been like... like... I even lost the track of time. Where is that asshole!!!' He cursed inside his mind.

It has been around four hours since the man had gone and left the boy in this vast and endless darkness.

The whole time he had wandered aimlessly around the darkness and the only thing he could find different was that the floor's colour would be a bit faded, for every 30 feet he traveled further.

Two hours later....

'I swear I feel like I am going to go insane if he doesnt come back.' The boy said as he really was on the verge of insanity.

After taking out his anger, he calmed down and started thinking again on how to get out of the place but none of his ideas work.

One day later.....

'I dont know how long it has been but I am feeling really, really thirsty and hungry too.' he said exhaustedly

One more day later.....

'I have sat here and thought about ways to get out of this place for hours now. But why isnt anything working, and also where is he.' the boy thought in melancholy

Three days later.....

The boy was lying on the floor with his arms and legs curled up like a baby. His face had no expression and his lips looked very dry.

It had been around five days since he last ate or drank. From the past five days he was in solitude, without anyone to talk to or to do anything he was slowly going crazy.

Sometimes he would be angry, sometimes he would be crying, sometimes he would be laying there with lifeless eyes, sometimes he was laughing. It was evident that anybody would go crazy in this situation.

He thought he was going to die of hunger while being stuck in this darkness so he had stopped thinking of ways to escape, instead he thought of his life, both sad and happy moments.

His thoughts drifted to the scene that had indirectly bought him to this situation. The scene of his foster mother, Esther.

Tears started to flow from his eyes and down to his cheekd as he was thinking.

'I have been through so much fucking trauma and when I thought it had finally stopped, it didnt. I am not asking for an extraordinary life with thrill or to be in a family of millionaires, I am just asking for a normal and simple life with a simple middle class family?' He thought while cursing his destiny.

When he was a kid his parents used to abuse him endlessly. Sometimes it got so serious that he would be bedridden for days.

His mom was a struggling actor who became a drug addict and his dad was a hitman who killed people for a living.

His mom would buy drugs by selling various things in his house which were very necessary for living. She would tell her son to steal money from others for her, which he at first denied to do but after she broke one of his arms by slamming a door on it, he agreed.

That wasnt the only abuse he got from his mom. She used ues a hot fork to press it on the young boy's skin, which till now he has those scars on his back and she also used to slam a chair on his young body.

His dad was no different, an alcoholic. He would beat his son on a daily basis, after he loses a gamble or a bet or if he is having a bad day. There were various reasons for why he would beat his son up, those were only some of them.

He also made his son do some dirty works, like he taught his son to be bait for him to kill his targets perfectly and swiftly without evidences because who would think a kid is involved a murder.

These were just some of the tortures that his parents would give him.

He was bullied at school too which further added to his trauma.

Now he had truly fallen off the cliff of sanity....

But suddenly a memory started to replay in his brain.

His mom died and his father was caught by the police. Then he was sent to a rehabilitation camp where he stayed for two years and then he went to a foster home and ended up being fostered by Esther. His life became normal for a few years.

All this time during his childhood trauma, despite being only a kid he handled all that and got back up on his feet like it never happened.

The memory was showered by many more memories having the same picture, of him getting up no matter what happens.

A series of emotions, rage, love, courage, hate started flowing into him along with a rush of adrenaline.

He used those emotions and adrenaline to fuel him up with energy and stamina.

He got up from the ground with new and inpenatrable vigour to get out of this place.

He started punching the ground, the only thing that he could touch.

A few days ago he had thought of the idea of continuously punching the ground until he dug a hole and got out. But he removed that idea after punching the floor for only a few times, because It was extremely painful and the floor seemed to have been made of a very hard and tough material, so he gave up.

But now it was a different person, someone who would never give up even if it means that he starving, bleeding, hurting himself, he would do anything until he reached that goal.

He started punching the floor with a great amount of force, atleast with how much energy he had left with him.

One hour later, and he was still rearing to go.

Two hours later, and he was still on it.

Five hours later, he seemed very tired but still kept on going.

Two days later, blood was dripping from his knuckles who had been punching the ground non-stop.

Two weeks later, a boy who looked really malnourished could be seen punching a blood stained pit.

He hadnt eaten or drunk anything for around a month and also while he was punching the ground non-stop for three weeks along with blood loss, it was a miracle he still hadnt passed out.

His punches had become really weak and almost insignificant.

The hole he was trying to dig was only three inches deep and five inches wide.

He had made progress but it wouldnt be enough for him to get out.

One week later,

Thud

He finally fell on the ground after one month of stubbornness. It was a miracle he was still alive at this point.

But it was going to change as the adrenaline that was in his body for the past month had completely faded away.

He lay on the floor which was dyed red with his blood and smiled as he thought 'I atleast didnt go without a fight.' and his eyes shut.

He lay motionless on the ground ah his heart rate started declining second by second as his still thumping heart and heaving chest came to an end.

He died.

He was roaming around the city to find if anymore residual energy had escaped his senses.It didnt even take him a second and he was already there, at the sight where fire was raging and people were trying their best to stop it. The building had collapsed ten minutes after the explosion and there was fire everywhere. The buildings around the hospital were also affected.And amongst all that Ballard saw only person, the person looked like a black dot.The person was none another than the man who abducted the kid.

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

    The place, the darkness in which the boy was previously stuck.A black smoke was seen in mid air and Gainis formed out of it."Hm, I see you are still sane." 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

    'Bruh, am I invisible or something because they definitely havent seen me.' He said before sighing.The boy who was bleeding started to walk away from the crowd so that he wouldnt accidentally be trampled by them.He came across a pond and washed his wounds off of their blood. The wounds on the back of his head had stopped bleeding but the wound in his gut was still bleeding a bit.He had a shallow 2 inch horizontal cut on his stomach.The pond he had found was partially covered by 6 metre long trees, so the people couldn't see the half naked kid.He rested there for around 10 minutes, then he started to walk in on the roads which were packed with people.While he was walking, most of the people ignored him but some gave concerned gazes when they saw dry blood on his leather top but none confronted him.....He had been walking around aimlessly for a while now.'Should I ask someone for where this place is.... no that would be too suspicious and what will I be able to do even if get t

    When he reached nearer to the entrance, he started to see an increase in the density of the crowd and apart from that, the thing that caught his attention the most were the walls.He was able to see huge walls which just kept on extending endlessly.Other people didn't pay much attention to it as if they saw it everyday, but to the boy it was like he was seeing a wonder of the world.He was in aw but kept on going in the direction of the increasing crowd.The further he went inside, the higher the height of the walls seemed to get.And finally he arrived at the entrance gate.He was able to see several carriages lined up in front of the gate.The gate was atleast 30 feet tall and 10 feet wide and it was made with stone, the same material which the walls were made of. It had some geometrical designs.Past the gate, one of the carriages seemed to be standing out more than the others. The carriage was made with some white material and it was decorated with golden floral designs which we

    It had been around around half an hour since this day's event had ended. Most of the people were still here and they didnt show any signs of leaving any soon.Because of this the boy wanted to leave because he had got enough knowledge of the world and was also getting bored. He still had much more to know about the world but he got the basics, like in this continent there are seven kingdoms.The kingdom he was in is called the Hail kingdom. The kingdom has a lot of hail storms so thats how the name was given. He also got to know more about the academies which were in the continent.His main plan of action is to learn about the control and manipulation of Mana. But right now he had to find out who he was. He couldnt always just call him by his old world's name. He had a new name, a new family, new friends all he had to do was to find out.He started walking towards the entrance gate to leave.Just as he neared to the gate the guards saw the boy and snorted while one of them said "The e

    'The first thing I will teach you is how to absorb Mana.' Clayford found and sat on a small boulder which was almost flat while listening to the voice in his head. 'In the world where I sent you, there is only one way or path of absorbing and storing Mana. But in actuality there are three paths. The way which your world uses is called the core path. In this path, first you will have to form a Mana core, which in your world is considered impossible as they think that Mana cores are with us from birth, but we have enough knowledge to know that that’s not the case. After you have formed a core, your core will absorb and store Mana. The more the core absorbs Mana, the bigger the core will become and purer will be your Mana. With each advancement your core and Mana will become a different colour. The second path is related to your soul or scientifically, your consciousness.' Clayford coughed when he heard the word science in his explanation of Mana. 'The Mana will be absorbed by your c

    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

Don’t worry even if it heals it won’t get the body back, the consciousness is too weak in front of me.° ‘Well, what will happen if it gets the control over the bod

    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 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.
