"Good morning," Cecilia said while giving Aji a warm smile. 

Aji turned to look at Cecilia with a straight look. Whether it was a dream or something beyond reason that Aji had difficulty understanding, it was still clearly remembered in Aji's mind. About Scotd's order to kill Cecilia. So when he saw Cecilia, Aji immediately felt tense.

"How did you sleep? Is it good enough?" asked Cecilia because Aji was just silent and still looking at her without blinking. 

Aji woke up from the reverie. 

"Yes. I slept pretty well," Aji replied.

Cecilia smiled. 

Shortly afterwards a doctor and a nurse came. They were about to check Cecilia's condition. 

"Who is he, Miss Cecilia? Why is he in your room?" asked the doctor with a look of astonishment. 

Actually, there is no problem if there is a family visiting or waiting for patients overnight. However, because he saw Aji's appearance that was still shabby. Makes doctors and nurses feel astonished.

"He's Aji. He's my best friend," Cecilia replied without forgetting her smile. 

The doctor and nurse looked at Aji once again. They are still equally surprised by Aji's existence. Because as far as they know, it is impossible for Cecilia to associate with the poor. Because Cecilia herself came from a family of officials. Whose property is willing to buy 5 large hospitals. 

"I see? Sorry, we saw it for the first time, Miss," the doctor said politely. 

Seeing how the doctor and nurse spoke and behaved in front of Cecilia, made Aji both amazed and horrified. It was only the first time to see anyone respected to such an extent.

"It's okay. You guys want to check me out today, right? Hurry up and do it, because I want to rest again quickly," said Cecilia. 

The doctor and nurse immediately checked Cecilia's condition. And it only took 2 minutes, their inspection was over. 

"Miss's condition has improved a bit. Hopefully this will continue until Miss can be declared recovered," said the doctor and left. Before leaving the room even left, the doctor and nurse greeted Aji. 

Aji, who had never received such treatment, was happy and confused. So Aji was only able to be stunned when the doctor and nurse threw greetings at him. 

"You are, really a great person," Aji said hesitantly. 

Cecilia smiled at Aji's attitude that returned to formality.

"Just talk casually. We are equal. After all, the great one is not me. But father, he is an official in this area. So it's natural that they come to respect like that, "explained Cecilia. 

"County official?" Aji was quite surprised to hear that. 

"Yes. He governs the districts in this city," Cecilia said. 

Aji's gaze came down. Inexplicably, after knowing that, his heart felt tight and painful. He lived in this city for 15 years. And in those 15 years, nothing made him feel safe and happy. Every day, only torture and beatings were received. There's nothing else but that. 

"If I may know, as a county official. What policy did your father put in place?" asked Aji as he tried to hide his anger. 

"Nothing," Cecilia replied curtly.

Deg! Aji's anger dam seemed to be about to break and was ready to spill all his anger. However, Cecilia's next answer made Aji speechless. 

"He, doesn't care about what happens in this city. So there are not many things he does. Once he does something, it is also for his personal benefit. He enriches himself. Seeing the little people is like seeing cockroaches in a dirty sewer. He, really amazing. Unbelievably cruel. And because of that, I want to change this world. We must win this Ragnarok. Then after that, we will remodel this world again with you who will be the king. Just like before, just like when we changed this world long ago."

"This world will be irreversible. This world, has come to an end. There is no more humanity here. The social sense is dead. Saving this world, will only make the rich and powerful people there happy. Because their time to enjoy their treasures is getting longer," Aji replied.

"You are wrong. By winning this Ragnarok, lives can be changed. Don't you know?"

"Know what?" asked Aji.

"The reward of winning this Ragnarok. The planet that occupies the top position, will get 1 request. And 1 request must have been granted," Cecilia replied. 

Aji laughed after hearing Cecilia's answer. 

"Is this a magic lamp fairy tale that can grant anything? Don't be kidding. That kind of thing doesn't exist in this world."

"There really isn't. On this planet, it exists. And it just became a fairy tale. But such a miracle, is elsewhere. If only all your memories had returned, of course you would know that what I said is not nonsense. In this vast universe, there are still many things we don't know. And it's still a mystery," Cecilia said with a serious face.

Aji looked at Cecilia's face. He felt that Cecilia was not lying to him. However, Aji's common sense still doubted that. He still couldn't believe it. 

"If that's the case, that kind of crazy thing can happen. I will ask that all mankind be annihilated." said Aji.

Cecilia was actually a little surprised by what Aji said. However, he just kept silent and let Aji say at will. Because Cecilia knows, Aji's mental state is currently weak. And only filled with emotions and resentment due to the actions of those around him.

"You can ask whatever you want, if we do get that victory." 

Cecilia's answer made Aji's heart feel dissatisfied. Like something is missing. It's like something is not reached. 

"Do you really agree with my decision to exterminate humans even though I managed to win this Ragnarok?" asked Aji, hoping Cecilia would give another answer. 

"The Shadow Clan is destined to become the true King of this planet. Of course, with you, who are the successors of the clan, entitled to that fate. So whatever your will and decision as King, I will accept wholeheartedly," said Cecilia. 

Aji clenched his fists. He was not happy with that fate. Meanwhile, his life has been filled with misery. 

"The king will not be born among the poor. Don't try to persuade me. I will still annihilate the people living on this earth. Including me," Aji said then got out of the room and jumped away through the kalpataru tree. 

After Aji left, Cecilia sighed. 

"Why hasn't his memory come back yet. It should be, after I awakened, all his memories and all his strength had returned. Is there something wrong?" thought Cecilia thoughtfully.

    Aji walked quietly in the middle of the city carrying a bag containing hundreds of millions of money. His gaze was blank. He didn't know where he was going. There was nothing Aji could think of. He just stepped without direction and purpose. "This is grudge. The favor is only at the beginning. After that, the mind and heart become empty." A voice suddenly sounded. Aji stopped his footsteps on the spot. "Who is it?" asked Aji while looking for the origin of the sound. "Calm down. It's me, Skotd. I'm talking through the space of the Boundary." "Boundary Space?" Aji felt confused. But he realized that Skotd's voice seemed to come from his head. 'Is this real?' asked Aji to his heart."Of course it's real. You think, you're a kid who likes to play with imaginary friends?" replied Skotd who knew Aji's heart. Aji felt annoyed when his mind was read. "What do you want?" asked Aji in an annoyed voice."Why do you have to talk like that? You can speak using your inner voice. If you sp

    It's been 5 days since Ragnarok's announcement was announced. Some countries, especially Europe, are trying to create combat technology for the preparation of Ragnarok. Countries in the Asian region, meanwhile, are trying other ways. Some hold fighting competitions to find strong people. In exchange for a prize as the winner. But there are also those who are looking for people with supernatural powers. In order to win easily when participating in Ragnarok later. All struggled. All are trying. "Come on! Come on! Run even faster! Are you a human or a snail?" Skotd shouted loudly at Aji's head. Makes Aji depressed and has a headache. Aji continued to run while climbing a mountain that was almost 2000 meters above sea level. Not only running, he also carries a heavy burden on his back. "Did the generation of the shadow clan before myself, also do this kind of strenuous exercise?" asked Aji with a hunting breath. "No. Only the first generation alone. Later generations inherited the abi

    Being patient, is the most difficult thing to do. And that's really what Aji feels every second of it. His heart often wavered and wanted to come out of hiding to look for animals directly. Because his stomach is really hungry. However, repeatedly Aji was able to endure the impatience. He even propped up his empty stomach, with leaves. "Someone is coming," Skotd voiced. Aji immediately prepared. And in less than 2 minutes, an antelope cub approached the trap while eating the grass around the trap. "Be careful. Your opponent is pretty tough," Skotd said quietly. Aji smiled confidently while staring at the antelope boy. "Just a small antelope. There is nothing to worry about." Skotd smiled meaningfully after hearing Aji's answer. "It's up to you. But remember, don't get hurt. If not, then our history is over– ah no. Not us. I mean, it's your history that is coming to an end." "What are you talking about? Do you underestimate me for slaughtering a gang of thugs? Don't undere

You're this–""Good fight, I'm going to sleep," Skotd said. Aji panicked even more. He tried to call Skotd, but Skotd did not answer his call."Seriously?" Aji's breath spurred. Just looking at the eyes of the mother antelope, made Aji frightened. "I did want to die. But, not under these circumstances! Since birth I have had a miserable life. I don't want to even die when I die in a miserable state." "Damn!!" Aji shouted."I'm sorry! But I won't return your child! Just take it if you can!" shouted Aji who immediately ran as hard as he could.The mother deer then chased Aji. The running speed of the antelope mother, of course, is many times faster than that of Aji. So in a short time, the mother antelope was already behind Aji."Damn.... You are agile too, it turns out!"

If you don't say enough, just say it," said the woman."No-no, I'll pay for it," Aji said.But the man who gave Aji Bakpao, held him back."Hey, don't refuse her kindness. After all, this is not the first time Mother Susi has done that. In the past, when I was a tramp like you, I was also helped by her. So just accept it and eat contentedly. When you succeed, you can repay the kindness," said the man."Santos! Who told you to tell me that. Go home quickly, your son must have been waiting for you for dinner," Susi said.The man, called Santos, immediately obeyed Susi's words. Aji heard the conversation between the two full of astonishment. "Don't think about the words just now. You just eat. If your hands are dirty, there is a place to wash your hands," Susi said."Okay, Mom. Thank you very much," said Aji who went straight to the sink to wash his hands. "Hey, there are so many flowers here. Your heart is very happy, huh?" asked Skotd. Aji did

    4 Days passed. Aji's health has fully recovered. The same goes for Aira. She has recovered. However, both of her hands have not been able to function again. Of course, Aira's hands were not damaged or injured. Both hands can be said to be healthy. However, her hands have no shadow. That's why Aira's hands didn't work. And because of this, the medical staff who treated Aira, came to Aji two days earlier. They wanted Aji to restore Aira's hands to function again.But when the medics asked Aji, Skotd was weak and could not be questioned. Because only Skotd knew the technique. And most likely, only Skotd can help. So right when Aji was fully recovered, she immediately went to where Aira was."Skotd, please restore both of Aira's hands. She can't compete if both hands aren't working," Aji pleaded through the Boundary room."I just woke up and you're asking for something impossible. Have you lost your mind?" Skotd replied lazily. Hearing that, Aji was a little surprised. But he still thoug

    A Tantalizing Offer

    Venus stood in front of Aji's recovery room. She wanted to go in but she was hesitant. For some reason she felt that her intention would disturb Aji. "Will it be another time? He and I aren't that close anyway. Why would I visit him?" Venus muttered.With that in mind, Venus was about to leave. But she had not gone far. The door to the recovery room opened. Suddenly Venus turned her head in that direction. She thought it was the doctor on duty. So she wanted to ask the doctor to find out Aji's condition. But Venus was quite surprised because it was not a doctor she found. Instead, it was a woman with a beautiful and gentle face. "Who is she?" muttered Venus.The woman, who was Cecilia, looked at Venus as well. She recognized Venus quite well. Because she had seen Venus in battle several times. "Do you have anything to do with Aji?" asked Cecilia. She became so defensive when she saw Venus. Because Venus would be Aji's opponent in the final round. "Not really. I actually want to vi

    Aji opened her eyes. Her breathing felt heavy. So was her body. He could not move his body at all. Even moving his fingers was difficult. "Where is this? Why do I feel so weak?" complained Aji. "You're being treated," replied someone whose voice he recognized.Aji looked to his left. And he saw Cecilia sitting there alone."Ceci-stop your trickery! I can no longer lie to you!" Aji snapped at Cecilia. He suspected that Cecilia's figure was Queen Nebula who was changing her form to look like Cecilia. So that she can deceive and do inappropriate things.Cecilia put on a confused face. She did not understand why Aji suddenly snapped at her."What's wrong with you?" asked Cecilia with a confused look on her face. "No need to pretend! I'll say it again! I won't be fooled a second time! My feelings! My love! Only for Cecilia! You can't force me to love you! Your love is just a fake anyway! You just want to make me your puppet!" Aji grumbled again.Cecilia was stunned to hear it all. Her f

    Aira was quite panicked. But she quickly calmed herself down so she wouldn't get carried away. Because if that happened, she would be easier to defeat. Aira tried to move her left hand. But her left hand was completely immobilized. "What did he just do?" Aira kept her guard up. She didn't want to miss again. "From above!" Skotd's voice rang out again.Aira looked up. She actually saw Skotd plunge from above. But strangely, the gamma rays she emitted could not capture Skotd's movements. It wasn't until Skotd made a sound that Aira knew Skotd's position. In slow motion. Aira felt that Skotd was trying to play a trick on her. "He really underestimated me! I'll make him disappointed!" Aira determined.Within reach, the two clashed swords. With her great strength, Aira swung her sword hard. "Die!" cried Aira.But when the two swords met, they didn't hit each other. Skotd's sword pierced through Aira's sword instead. With her eyes, Aira could see how Skotd's sword penetrated hers. An

    Aji was breathing heavily. The only ability she could rely on was her shadow shield. However, even though he had used one of his defense techniques. Still, Aira could still attack. Because the impact of Aira's attack was much greater than before. Even Aji still had to dodge to reduce the direct impact of Aira's attack."She's really perfect. She has incredible strength and speed. Moreover, she has very troublesome eyes. No matter what she shoots, if those eyes are active it's impossible to miss," Aji thought. "You're right. And with this ability, she excels in one-on-one combat," said Skotd. "Do you have any other ideas?" Aji asked. Skotd frowned. "Why do you always ask me for ideas? Look, my contribution is already huge. You've consumed at least 3 percent of my power. Use that brain of yours to think," Skotd said. "I still can't read. How can I read a situation like this? Besides, you have more experience than me. So help me!" Aji exclaimed.Skotd chuckled in annoyance."You are

    Aira continued to shoot at Aji relentlessly. It was as if the bullets Aira fired were endless. Aji, who was struggling, could only hold on and make sure his body wasn't pushed further back. "It's not funny if I lose because of an attack like this!" Aji thought.Aji immediately looked for a way out. He didn't want to be Aira's bullshit. But after Aji thought for a while he couldn't find a way out. Many of the shadow techniques he mastered were ineffective against Aira. "The only way to beat her is with speed. You need to be one level ahead of Aira's bullet speed," Skotd said. "Well, that's easy enough to say but impossible to do! There's no way I can increase my speed in such a short time, right?" retorted Aji."That's true. But there is a way," said Skotd. Aji furrowed her brow. She wondered how to increase her speed in a short period of time."How?""Swapping body parts," Skotd replied. Aji was increasingly unable to understand Skotd's too-brief explanation."Tell me clearly.

    The second battle was about to begin. Aji and Aira faced each other in the Arena. Aira's face was serious from the moment she stepped onto the arena stage. And the aura she exuded was gripping. It was as if the aura showed how serious Aira was about toppling Aji. "Don't you want to wear head protection first? I'm worried my bullets might kill you," Aira said. "Take it easy. My head is hard enough," Aji replied.Aira smiled at Aji's answer. She felt challenged enough to silence his words. "The second battle of the quarterfinals will begin! Fighters! Get ready!" said Ai.Instantly Aji and Aira both put up a ready position. Both of them realized when Ai gave permission to start the fight. So at that moment the battle of life and death began."FIGHT!!!" In less than half a second after the signal was called. Aji immediately made a circle of shadows. At the same time, Aira fired a single bullet at Aji's head. Aira's shot was fast and precise. Aji realized that Aira immediately attacke

    Hard choice! Between Love and Friends!

    Seeing the queen of Nebula who still hadn't come out of the recovery room occupied by Venus. Aji decided to visit Rozch. Although he and Rozch have never talked to each other because both of them are quiet and passive. But as fellow warriors trying to protect their respective planets. Aji felt an obligation to visit Rozch. "I'll see Rozch first," Aji said to Aira.Aira, who was standing while leaning lazily on a support pole, straightened up. "I'm coming," Aira said. Aji was a little surprised. He did not know why Aira was so different from usual. Even though Aira's figure that Aji knew, had the same character as Rozch or herself. A quiet figure and always wants to move alone. But seeing Aira's attitude now, made Aji suspicious. Aji suspected Aira would do something. So Aji deliberately installed the Circle of Shadows to protect herself if Aira suddenly attacked. And what Aji did, Aira realized. So Aira spoke up about what Aji was doing."I'm not the type of person who likes to ch

    After the Battle of Venus and Rozch

    The battle between Rozch and Venus was a big hit. Many people were talking about the great battle. Even all the planets in the third star's orbit were talking about the fierce battle. And on earth, the atmosphere was so tense when the battle between Venus and Rozch began. Most of them became scared as soon as they saw the strength of Rozch and Venus. Although in the previous rounds there had been several tense battles. But the battle between Rozch and Venus was a new experience. Seeing that battle made them feel the war that happened 50 years ago. "If one of those creatures attacks Earth, are we ready to fight it?" said Antonio. He really didn't expect Venus' power to be so terrifying. Even when he saw the explosion at the end of Venus and Rozch's fight, Antonio was so scared that he couldn't breathe. He admitted that he still felt the fear of the nuclear war 50 years ago. Although he himself did not experience the war firsthand. But just by looking at the video evidence. Antonio ca
