Chapter 10
Destiny and the destinationPart 1Reading the list I'm from of him didn't take that long, but understanding it was a different matter. It wasn't that it was a language that he couldn't understand; it was actually in clear, understandable English. Then what is the meaning behind it? That was what he couldn't understand at all, as stated from the beginning. Name Azmar, Age: 19, Race: Human, Rank: A Level: 5, Occupation: Vanguard, let's start with the name he knew was his real name; he was given that name since he was unable to remember his real name.That was the only thing he could understand, but the line showed Age 19. That is hard to believe, even though he doesn't remember his real age. There is no way that I will be that young; "I can feel it deep down that I am almost double that age, or at least close to it." That was what he thought. He did actually look young when he looked at himself in a mirror, the one that he was looking at didn't look familiar at all because he didn't have an image of how he looked before, so there was nothing to compare it to.Then came rank, level, occupation, and the list goes on. All those things he was sure he would come to understand with time, but the remarks near the end were the most interesting thing. Chosen one, Chosen for what? That's the most important piece of information he's gotten so far, and that will be the first step to understanding the reason behind their kidnapping."Again, what's with the survival thing with a time limit?" He said this internally while talking to himself. Before, he was totally in the dark about everything, but now that he has evidence that they are mentoring all his movements and controlling them behind the scenes, the only thing he can do at the moment is play the role of the geniepig that he is. And see how things could go from here. Onwards, unconsciously, he murmured, "At least now they started providing information and instructions." His voice was parley audible to anybody; it was probably lower than whispering. He noticed Amran looking at him with a questioning gaze, apparently, since she was beside him, she heard what he said.Before he could say or explain anything she said "Me too, I saw it and you're right this is the first step" Behind them Raco happened to hear only what Amran said, not understanding what they were talking about he asked her "What did you see?" At the same time both of the said at once "Nothing" looking back at him, once more their eyes met like they were communicating with their eyes, instantly Azmar looked back at where he was facing and Amran said talking to Raco who was surprised by the way they both answered "We sensed that the fight is going to end soon" Then turned back her head then before Raco who still didn't understand anything could open his mouth Azmar said "someone is coming towards us" addressing Ajbadan. Without turning back Ajbadan said, "I noticed, everyone stay where you are I will take care of this".As soon as he said that he stood up and sprinted a way within less than one second, he disappeared. I sensed the incoming person but I couldn't pinpoint his location, but apparently he could, which was the reason he went ahead to intercept him. I guessed that the distance was not more than fifty meters, but the forest was so dense that it could prevent any visual, and the location we were hiding was more similar to a jungle than a forest. From the beginning of my arrival here, I prepared myself to expect anything in this alien world, so I was not surprised by anything, although I couldn't help myself from wondering about this or that.Another metal clash reached my ears at the same time the previous clash resumed on the other site. Though this one didn't last more than a few more seconds, one thing wandered about: why so fast? Wasn't our objective to gather information and know what was going on around us? Wasn't it better to capture him and extract information? The reason I was wondering was that I felt only Ajbadan coming back by himself while I could sense the other individual on the ground motionless, so I presumed he finished him off. At that moment, I heard a sound in my head saying, Congratulations, you have gained perception skill level 1," and the same virtual screen appeared again in front of me with the same information.A new skill was gained.Perception: "You can perceive anything happening in a radio field of twenty square meters when you activate the skill. It can be leveled up by contusion using it; the radio field and visual clarity will increase with the level increase..................................Amran's point of viewI was monitoring the situation around her with interest, when she suddenly saw a virtual screen appeared in front of me, a familiar scene that I saw a lot of it while playing games in front of my brother's computer, the only difference was how much realistic it was, it was like it literally appeared in front of me was printed in the air. The situation we were in was not a normal one still one more surprising thing happened to me, and the information that appeared was like this.Name: AmranAge: 12Race: HumanRank: ALevel: 5Occupation: Strategist Status: healthySkills: six skills• Observe• Analyze• Insight • Invisibility• Agility• Rough Gifts: locked 1- TakterThe rest of the gifts are locked now.Intelligence: 200Strength: 10/100 Grade: 2Phase: 2Points: 05Inventory: Six ItemsInventory unlocked Remarks: Choose OneMission: Survive Duration: 24 hoursReward: Random Gift + SkillCongratulations, You have gained six skills.Congratulations, You have unlocked your inventory.You can keep your belongings and whatever you are carrying in your inventory space, you can store anything and take it out whenever you want.

The only difference was how realistic it was, it was like it literally appeared in front of me and was printed in the air. The situation we were in was not a normal one, but one more surprising thing happened to me. A virtual screen appeared out of nowhere in front of me with information supposedly prevailing about my status. This is a status screen, something I am well aware of in video games. The games that belonged to my brother that I used to play behind his back since, from my parents point of view, I was too young to play them, though I am not a child, I am 10 years old, huh? Wait, why does it say I am 12 here? Am I mistaken with my own age? I believe my 11th birthday is supposed to be five months later. I read it twice, th
Chapter 12Destiny and the destination Part 3Everyone was looking at me, wondering about the way I analyzed the situation. I couldn't really tell what was going through their minds; all I noticed was the way they were staring at me. The first one to react to what I said was Ajbadan, who broke the silence and said, "I actually agree with Amran's point of view, also, there is no guarantee what we will encounter if we go in any other direction." He paused at the point like he was contemplating something else, then he said, addressing me and Azmar, "You two stay behind us; we will protect you." Worries appeared on his face when he said that.Actually, we have weapons." I said that my assumption that Azmar has weapons was also based on what I saw on my status screen, I was sure of it; in fact, the only thing that I was not sure of was whether I was able to use the weapons that I have. On second thought, since it was a skill, it should be implanted in me so I know for a fact I will be abl
Chapter 13Destiny and the destination Part 4 Dead or alive, what's the meaning of this? She almost yelled that aloud, but fortunately she didn't. The instant she finished reading the few lines containing the mission information, her office door opened, and a young man came in to the office and stood behind the door that he closed when he entered the room and said, "Good afternoon, Agent Natasha. My name is Endra. I am here by the order of the general director to assist you with whatever you need to embark on your mission. I will also facilitate your means of travel, and I am waiting for your instructions and orders." For the first time in her life, Natasha was speechless, although nothing was showing in her expressions. Since she is a biological Android, her thinking process is 50 times higher than that of the most genius human, and she is much superior mentally and physically. Still, as a race, they are more rational and never act on emotions or in haste, so no wonder she was spe
Author' noteI apologize for the short chapter. I didn't forget my promises to write longer chapters. The thing is, I am stuck on the fight scenes. It's really more difficult than you think, since my aim to begin with is to present to you something different than the norm that we see in most novels. I don't want something exaggerated. At the same time, it has suited the situation that the obstacle I am facing at the moment is, since some of my readers have also requested that I add some fighting and actions to my story rather than just narration.So I am trying my best to satisfy all of you. The next chapter will be longer than normal, as will the last part of this chapter, so bear with me. Also, I am open to any of your suggestions, so please don't hesitate to write your comments. You may see your ideas implemented, and believe me, there is no bad idea ever.Your authorAbdirizack Sarman Chapter 14Destiny and the destination Part 5While I was reading the new input on the screen
Chapter 15Destiny and the destination Part 6 Now steady your weapon, aim at your target, and shoot. I told myself that and did it at the same time in front of me when the target of my shot was clearly visible, so before I took the shot, I thought of a way not to kill but to immobilize him, and I took the shot. I am not sure where I was aiming at, but all I saw was that my target instantly fell down. Then I aimed at the second one and took the second shot, and the same as before, he fell down also. I thought I was going to feel some type of hesitation, but fortunately, I felt nothing. Since I was sure that my shot didn't kill anyone, but at the same time it immobilized them at my tired target, I heard Amun saying "Six more enemies are approaching us from our west side, approximate arrival time is three minutes." After I pressed the trigger and shot the third one, meanwhile Luke was at his fifth shot. I guess since I didn't count, somehow I was able to figure out how many times he
Chapter 15The Request Part 1I didn't know how to measure the speed or strength that I wanted to use, but internally, I didn't intend to use much force. At the time my weapon connected with his, I didn't wait to see the results but instantly turned to the other one, who was lowering his hand to stab me with his weapon. Switching the gun to my other hand, I saw his head was in a good position for me to hit it, and I did exactly that. It didn't take me more than a split of a second to turn and hit the other one with the bottom of my gun at the same spot as the other one. While preparing to turn again and hit the first one once more, what I saw made me freeze on my spot. The first man I hit that I wanted to follow up with a second attack on was nowhere near his primary position; all I saw was the man laying on his back for more than twenty meters and not moving. When I turned to the other one, the same scene was the same; the only difference was that the man over there was face down o
Chapter 16The RequestPart 2I looked around me, looking for the biggest tree near me to hide behind its trunk, and as soon as I found a big, bulky tree, I hid behind its trunk. What I saw in front of me was definitely not what I was expecting. A group of people was approaching me. I counted them quickly, they were approximately 20 armed men moving cautiously in a team of four people; between each team there was a space of around five meters, in a straight line, like they were comping the whole area, it would take them less than a minute to reach where I fought their comrades, and for sure they will notice me sooner or later, unless I flee this place by using one of the skills and go back where I came from.If I go back, it's obvious that they will reach us within a few minutes. There is absolutely no guarantee of the safety of the children and their mother, so butting into the account, for their safety now, that is the only important thing. I believe they can take care of themselves
Chapter 17The RequestPart 2BAuthor's NoteMy dear readers, first of all, I would like to apologize for last week's chapter. As I previously mentioned, I write as I go, and there are not any pre written chapters that I can publish and upload. That is the only reason; still, I will do my best to even increase the number of chapters from one a week to a minimum of three per week, starting next month.With this chapter, I beg for your forgiveness and hope for your patience with me. I will be going through a long journey, so I will not be able to publish anymore chapters during the two weeks remaining from this month, but I will try my best to fulfill my promises starting next month.I really do appreciate your support, so please continue your support by adding my book to your library and voting and reviewing it.Your author Abdirizack.Sarman.........................................So it's possible, and I gained a new skill and a useful one at that: "Asult." As soon as I finished say
