"James?" they hit the door.
I turned into bed ignoring the call.
"James Brixt!" they hit harder.
"What happened, Mom?" I'm still sleepy, let me sleep a little more—place the pillow in my ears.
"Get up or you'll be late for college," he retired.
I opened my eyes completely, I stretched my body a little. Immediately I got the memories of what I had experienced last night. Maybe in the end it was a bad nightmare.
I decided to go down for breakfast. My sisters were ready to go to their high school.
"What a face you have, James, it looks like you've seen a dead man." Katrina poured milk into her cereal.
"Yes, how funny, I'm sure my face is like this just seeing you very early in the morning," I took the plate to serve myself.
"At least take a bath before going to college, lest a girl is frightened by your bad smell," Katrana laught.
"We'll see what they say with your smell of milk," I deliberately poured a little into their backpack.
"Mom!" James, he's bothering us," he complained.
"Keep bothering a couple of delicate ones," I mocked making faces.
James. We are Leave your sisters alone—mother scolded me from her kitchen.
"They are the culprits, they start and then they can't stand it," I broke my plate to go and bathe.

I arrived at the boring University of London, the students walked the corridors, they were full. Suddenly I collided with a girl who crossed me.
"I'm very sorry," I tried to pick up the books he was carrying.
"Hey, you're an asshole, don't you see where you're walking?" her cranky friend yelled at me.
"Enough, don't treat it that way, it was just an accident," he picked up his books.
It was Astrid Colleman, the most beautiful girl in college and I had hit her as a fool.
"Excuse me, I really didn't want to do it," it seemed stupid.
"Already... they are things that happen," he smiled, that smile that would never be erased from my mind.
"Goodbye, please take care of yourself," she said goodbye, yet Astrid was always educated.
I came to my classroom and saw that my classmates were in a circle.
"What's going on?" I joined the group.
"Today we have a math exam," said one.
"What?" I hadn't even studied anything." The good thing is that Harry always studies, doesn't he?" I rubbed his shoulders.
"Do you want me to help you?" His voice was very low.
"Of course I did," I put my lips on a single line, squeezing his shoulder.
The teacher arrived, delivered the exams and sat at his desk. Apparently he really liked to see us worried about his exams so that he smiled again and again accommodating those huge horrible glasses.
The good thing is that I had Harry behind me.
"Harry, Harry!" I called him silently the moment the teacher neglected himself, "pass the answers on a piece of paper," I extended my hand backwards.
Perfect, now I couldn't make fun of this stupid four eyes.
"Young man, James, what do you have in your hand?" the professor said, approaching.
"What do you mean?" I picked up my calculator. "if this is, I'm just calculating the answers."
"Open your hand," he came even closer.
Someone coughed, which distracted him in fractions of a second. I took the opportunity to put the paper in my mouth.
"I told him to open his hand," he said.
"See?" I don't have anything—I opened my hand. Everyone started laughing.
"What do you laugh at?" Keep it up and I will postpone them all—he returned to his desk.
The doorbell rang, it was a change of classes, I went to the bathroom, the door was locked and the subject of last night appeared out of nowhere.
"What are you doing here?" I took a few steps back.
"I told you that I would always be close to you, I can't afford to leave you alone for a moment, maybe some demon could take advantage of the opportunity and steal your soul." Besides, you don't even know how to defend yourself.
"I could hit you right now if I wanted to," I took my hands, he was positioning myself to fight with him.
"Please don't tell me that with that pose you plan to fight me." We're leaving—he used a kind of super power to open the door.
•
"Hey, where are we going?" we were walking outside the university.
"You'll realize it soon, just follow me," he was in front of me.
"First of all, what's your name?" he stopped in his tracks, seeing me again.
"Katsuro, my name is Katsuro," he followed in his path.
"What a strange name do you have, didn't your parents love you or what?" I joked.
"It means victorious son, that's how I honor my name." Ready, let's go.
There was a large forest, in it there was a large chest, there was also a smaller chest.
"Do you see that big chest that is there?" he said, "in it, it contains a spirit of the lowest level of the underworld." Go and open it," he ordered.
"Are you crazy?" How do you think I'll open that thing? - I flatly refused by crossing my arms.
"Well, if you don't do it, I will," he went to the chest, opened it and immediately came out a spirit in the form of a Lion.
This one was three-headed, they caught fire, a lot of drool came out of their jaws, they had giant fangs, on their legs they had a kind of chain.
"It's time to try something, James," Katsuro took the huge beast from the chains. "I want you to be ready for when he releases it."
The beast rushed on me, I ran as much as I could, but it was impossible to hide. He tried to take me with one of his jaws by completely destroying a tree.
"Damn, it will kill me!" I surrounded myself on a hill downhill hitting myself with everything that was going through me. I managed to fall into a vacant property, coming face to face with the animal, as he advanced I went back until my back touched a tree, it was the limit.
"Didn't you defend yourself?" Katsuro was standing near me. Ten—he threw the smallest chest at me—come on, open it.
I debated whether to open it or not, I didn't want to increase my bad luck any more.
"What is this?" I wanted to know.
"It's a sword, it's your salvation." You take it or you die—he raised his hands as a symbol of peace.
I couldn't wait any longer, I opened the chest. From it came a flash so bright that it illuminated the whole forest. It was a golden sword, it resembled gold, on the other hand a black suit adhered to my body from my feet to my neck. Giving me a samurai look.
The beast jumped and all its heads pointed towards me, but in seconds I positioned myself to draw my sword, the fears were gone. We crossed in the air, when we came to touch the mainland at one end I was with my sword full of blood and the body of the beast had fallen from the other end, but without its three heads.
"Bravo, bravo!" he applauded again and again. "Apparently I wasn't wrong.
"What do you mean?" I watched him with my cold look. "Immediately my transformation disappeared.
"I'm referring to what just happened." You have defeated that spirit, you did it very well, the legend was fulfilled, you are undoubtedly the chosen one. Let me explain: the chest I threw at you was the sacred sword, no one can open it except the chosen one, did you notice that your body changed drastically and your emotions? That is due to the power of the sword, when you opened the chest, you also merged with it. Now they are only one. It's awesome!
"I don't know what happened, but do you know what?" I'm leaving here. I retired.
•
The night became darker, apparently more spirits crossed the barrier of the living, the souls of the innocent were even more in danger.
•
"Hello, Astrid," I said hello and this time I didn't want to do any stupidity.
"Hello, James," she stopped at a taxi.
"Where are you going so in a hurry?" Katsuro looked at me.
"I have swimming class and I'm a little late," he felt his trouble.
"Do you like that girl?" Kuatsuro pointed to her.
"See you, James, have a nice day," he said goodbye and got into the taxi.
"No!" I don't like it and it lets me ask certain things in my life—I felt it with my eyes.
"Whatever, see you soon," he retired.
"Where are you going?" I wanted to know.
"I'll tell you just as you just said to me: stop asking certain things in my life," he said goodbye with his hand and vanished.
•
"Mom?" I've already come—I opened the door.
"James, it's good that you've arrived, will you eat?" She placed the dishes on the table.
"More later." I'll go to my room—I went up the stairs.
"James, you who understand this matter more." Could you help me with this task? - Katrina came with a notebook.
"Katrina, I don't want to do anything today, did you understand that?" Nothing!" I took her by the arm and closed the door.
"What a genius you carry, one day you will need my help," my door broke.
"That's right, James, what a genius you're carrying," Katsuro appeared.
"Now you show up, I thought I wouldn't see you again," I went to bed.
"I was tracking the area and found that more spirits have been crossing, I don't know where so many come from, but what I do know is that we have to leave."
"Again?" I just came to bed for a while and you want to take me. - I crossed my arms.
"I told you that we are leaving," he used another technique that made us fade by appearing in an abandoned city.
"What are we doing here?" I wanted to know how to inspect the place.
"I need you to master the transformation technique with the sword." First of all, you must focus your energy on your limbs, close your eyes and when you feel that energy just explodes. Come on, try it now.
I started doing everything Katsuro had told me, but I hadn't achieved anything yet.
"I think we will need a little inspiration," he made a spirit appear in front of me, then he made my two sisters appear. It looked so real.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I kept seeing it. "Willn't you use my sisters or will you?" My fury was beginning to grow.
"Well, you will have to save them or that spirit will gradually devour the souls of your sisters."
They cried non-stop, that spirit was putting his hand into his chest by extracting part of his soul.
"James, please don't let him hurt us," they said in unison with tears in their eyes.
I felt so much anger through my body, that all I wanted was to kill that damned man. Immediately my body began to flash and there it was again. The transformation I had undergone before, but this time it was different, my movements were faster than before, I drew my sword in seconds to end the spirit that attacked my sisters, so fast it was all that Katsuro himself had an impressed face.
"You do improve in a short time," everything vanished. "This was just an illusion, but I see that in dangerous situations it is where you react best." He throned his fingers and we returned to my room. "Now he does rest, James," he vanished once again.
"James, I want to tell you something," Katsuro was sitting on the floor. "A few moments ago I have been feeling activity from the underworld around here, the spirits are coming more and more and not only that, I feel that behind them there is a spirit manipulating them, this must be even stronger than their subjects. In addition, that girl you like, Astrid, when we saw her I felt something different about her that I didn't pay attention to her, but for some reason I think she is in danger as well."What are you saying?" I got out of bed quickly."That's right, the spirits have not only come for your soul, I think they are thirsty for other souls and inside them I think there is that of that girl.""Let's get out of here immediately!" I took my shirt and left my room.While we ran at high speed in search of Astrid, I just thought nothing had happened to him, I didn't want to be late.There was a room, apparently it was like meditation, in it was Ast
Things continued to happen in the underworld, the shadows advanced more and more consuming all the light of hope, the spirits went even further through the barrier of the living. Stalking all the souls on earth."We have to continue with our plan, now that boy appeared we have a greater reason to travel to that dimension, we cannot fail our master, the one who wants to raise his hand against him, will die." We will devour your soul completely until we leave a trace, I promise you that our lord will reward us for that—Unknown.•The next day I woke up, it was time to go to university, after all I also had to take care of my daily life. It wasn't the big thing we said, they were always repetitive things, but that was my life."But what are you doing sitting there watching me?" Katsuro watched me sitting in front of me. "Did you know it feels a little strange to wake up and the first thing I see is you?" You look like one of those perverted guys.<
Loki cast a spell at Mike, a rag doll came out of his backpack. Mike's body was inserted into the doll in an incredible way."What have you done with him?" I tried to attack him with a lot of anger."I told you that this would be my business," he intervened, he threw fire back in his face, but apparently it was in vain. I hadn't even scratched him."You are a weak vigilante, your spell doesn't work," Loki suffocated Katsuro by putting him against the wall. "If you're really a vigilante, why don't you really fight and stop playing?" I thought you were of a higher rank, but I was wrong. "I kept tightening his neck even harder so that Katsuro gasped." Anyway, you will die, whatever you do in the end you will die like a leech.I jumped towards Loki, placing my fist on her face, shuddered her letting Katsuro go."Wow, until you have finally shut up, damn miserable, you had me fed up with so many stupidities that you were talking about." I will kill you
The dark and cold night had been planted in the city with a dense fog that almost completely covered the buildings, something malevolent was camouflaged in it, because on that day something out of the ordinary would happen, something that even James himself would take by surprise.•The next day in the morning I woke up very early, according to Mom the day before she had said that it would be my turn to make breakfast, which I hated since I was bad with those things and that if I didn't, my sisters would inform her if I disobeyed. In the fridge there were eggs, milk and a box full of flour."Perfect, this will be enough for me to make pancakes," I took a glass pot placing the ingredients and started beating them. I instantly turned on the TV and started singing. It all started well.•"Having, wake up sleepers," I knocked on the door of my sisters' room. "I have brought them a breakfast that they could never eat in their lives." Come on,
The battle was getting very difficult, this guy's speed was impressive, but I had to react or else he would kill me. It was too early for that."Try this, you son of a bitch!" A fist engulfed in fire approached, I immediately dodged it. -What did you think? What couldn't be at your pace? You're wrong if you thought that, that's why I'm the chosen one—my power increased much more every second that passed. His kicks were very good, but I could see his movements with great pressure, I took his leg throwing him very long, but the guy took a turn slowing down the speed falling into a good posture. "I don't know how you'll be dodging my attacks, but I don't think you can be at my level for a long time... no!" He complained of the pain, "please don't!" He clutched his head desperately. Leave me alone, damn you!"What is that?" I pointed to the body of the spirit, what I was witnessing was a bit macabre."I don't know, it seems he is struggling with something internal that is tormenting hi
Among the mountains of the most remote of the underworld new spirits appeared preparing for an attack, a leader was thirsty for revenge. "We have to go ." Unknown. The next day the little birds sang happily near the window waking me up. -It's really hot! Although we are in the winter season, this heat is not normal, I will end up roasted.— I took off my shirt. Today I would have to go to the supermarket with my sisters and that was annoying, they always bothered me, besides they never obeyed.— I rolled my eyes."Katrina, Katrana !" It's time to wake up—I took a glass of water, went into her room and began to wet them. "What do you think you're doing, James?" They shook the water from their faces. "Mom! James is wetting us. —they whimpered—get the hell out of here. "Stop whining and hurry up, we're leaving ." He shook their bodies from side to side."So already?" Katrina stirred on the bed very lazily. -Yeah I know. I don't want to be back late.” I left the room, slamming the do
—I was looking for you, my chosen one, but I can't find you alone, these other vermin will also die.— the malevolent spirit had arrived. —But how scary you are—I looked at him from head to toe, he was a monster with two heads, one was bigger than the other, he had a human body, his feet were similar to the claws of a falcon and his arms were covered with hair like the fur of a wolf. "It's the spirit of fraud," Katsuro pointed out , "he remains invisible and disguises himself in the shadows, he transforms his body into that of a child , making himself look vulnerable, just at that moment he waits for someone to fall for his dirty tricks and then devours his soul. He is one of the most disgusting spirits in the underworld, just seeing him makes me nauseous. —Impressive—he mocked—I didn't know he had such fame in the underworld, but your friend is right, I love devouring the souls of the unprotected, especially children, it's so sweet and so easy to convince. —You're a cursed— Katsur
The first day was the most boring of all, starting another week of classes was terribly stressful, it was the day and I had never adapted to this routine. Actually , I did it for my future, but since I was little I was not a lover of everything related to studies."Hello, Astrid," I smiled when I saw her, she was with her friend Mell in the hallway, this girl always stayed with her, she seemed like her escort or something. "Hello, James," he greeted with his smile that hypnotized me, "you have a face like you don't want to take classes ." Mell analyzed me from head to toe, it was uncomfortable the way she acted every time I approached them, you could tell she didn't like me. She hated that, she was different from Astrid, I don't know why Astrid, being different, had a friend like her? I should give him a little advice, but better not. I wouldn't want to get in trouble. Mell —my coldness was noticeable. I hope you have noticed. "Hello," he didn't even meet my eyes, "can we go, Ast
