The Request

Part 2B

Author's Note

My 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.

So it's possible, and I gained a new skill and a useful one at that: "Asult." As soon as I finished saying the last letter of the word, I felt something surging through my body, like I had been filled in all of my body with a mysterious energy, and I looked at men who were apparently waiting for an

order. I looked at them all, and I decided who would be my first target.

The obvious option to be my target was the leader, or at least the one I think was the one, since he was giving out orders, and the second reason was that he was the closest one to me, although there was not much distance between them since the formation they took enables anyone of them to reach the next member within a couple of seconds. The question I asked myself was, with the use of these skills I have, it was easy for me to deal with six men within a few seconds, but will I be able to deal with these many? Here are twenty provisional men armed to their teeth, as the saying goes.

The issue was not whether I was confident in myself or not; the previous fight was my first ever, and logic dictates that one against twenty is not a fair fight by any means. Not to forget my lack of experience, and to be honest, I contributed my first success to mare luck, so will the luck continue to be with me? That was another question. The other thing is that this new skill doesn't have a skill duration or cool-down, so does that mean I can use it indefinitely? Since the other five skills each have a duration and a cool-down period, I can just assume that and start fighting. It's just a gamble, and I don't have much time, so I need to reach a decision right now.

I just felt a chill run through my body, and then I noticed the man I was about to target staring at my location. I was sure that I was not visible, because without even thinking or noticing, I was actually lying down on the ground in the middle of a thick bush covered by the huge trunk of the tree, so there was no way in my little knowledge that he could notice me or see me since I didn't move a single muscle of my whole body from the time I hid behind the three.

I consecrated myself to him, monitoring to see what would be his next action. As soon as his eyes blinked and he turned his eyes, I said "Asult," activating the new skill while standing up and running towards the man. Before he did or said anything at all, within less than a blink of an eye, I found myself in front of him. It looked like I had been teleported instantly to his location, and suddenly I appeared in front of him out of nowhere, but the reality was much different since what I did was, when I took my first step, the second step rook directly to where he was kneeling.

I didn't have any instructions on how to switch the weapons; I knew that I could store and take them out at any minute, and the gun I had was not suitable in this situation unless I was going to kill, and that was not my intention at all, so on my way to him, I thought of the way only the word switch appeared in front of me, then I switched the gun to a sword, thinking, "So even they are monitoring my thoughts and can hear it," thinking that I used the flat side of the sword and hit the surprised man on the head.

.......................

Ozak's points of view

The fight between the captain and the old man ended as quickly as it started. During the last few seconds of the fight, I felt someone behind me. Since I didn't want to miss anything, I glanced at my back and saw an unarmed young boy. With that glance, which didn't even take a split second, I realized that he was not a threat, so I continued watching the fight, still paying some of my attention to the boy, although he didn't move from his location. My senses were divided between what was happening in front of me and behind me at the same time.

I was wishing to be able to hear what was going on and, at the same time, to know why this young boy walked alone to this place, but I was mostly anxious about what was going to happen to my guard. As the sword was pointing at his throat only a few inches away from piercing his skin, the middle-aged man put down his and looked at my guard and asked him, What is a distinguished warrior like you doing here?" Hearing that and the screen appearing in front of me coincided at the same time, showing me this time more details.

    Chapter 18The Request Part 3AI guess my wish came true this time because one of the new skills that I had been given or gifted was what I was in need of and was looking for at the moment since my desire was to listen and understand what they were talking about. Although the distance was not that far, they were talking in such a low voice that I couldn't hear them unless I was standing beside them, and I was not, but the only thing was how to activate the skill. Without thinking or knowing if it was within the description of the skills or not, because I didn't want to go once more and read the whole thing one more time, afraid that I may miss all the conversation between the two men, more than what I already missed, I just said the skill name, "Hayber Hearing "Then instantly, I shifted my gaze and attention to them.The conversation was going on. I couldn't tell what they said to each other before, but I was hearing everything clearly, like I was standing next to them. My guard was

If you listened carefully, you could hear their breathing rhythm, even their heartbeat. The one who was sitting on the largest seat at the table while he was in the same situation as the rest of them. He couldn’t bear the silence any more, asking the person sitting on the opposite seat of him with a harsh tone and saying, “You said you could handle it, and it will not take time; why didn’t you get any reports until now?" The man was apparently shaking with fear and stress, thinking to himself that he may have bitten more than he could chew. "It's too early to tell; we have to wait.

Ajbadan said that and started to move: "Raco, keep the rearguard for now, and remember, our first priority is to protect our guests, we will not attack unless we are attacked first. Is that clear?" It was the same formation that we have been doing so far, and nothing changed. Heading towards danger to collect information was the best option we had at the time, although whether it was wrong or correct, I didn’t object to it and didn’t see a reason to. Maybe for a second, I thought to ask Ajbadan to go and check by himself since we don't know the level of danger we may face. Still, I didn’t worry much or feel any fear or something like that at that time, believing that with this strange system, I would be able to handle most of what we may encounter.The distance was not that far to reach wherever we were going to maybe a few more minutes and we will be there, and I will be able to see my first fight in this world.

    The First EncounterPart 1AI had been hearing gunshots for a while now, but finally I was facing one pointed towards me, not me in particular but in my direction. That made us hesitate and stop all of us, except the emporer, who, on the contrary, increased his speed towards them. The rest of us, we stood in our place and didn’t move. The boy with the rifle was looking at us, still pointing the gun at us.Although he saw the old man, I mean the emporer, coming towards them, his expression softened a little bit, but still he was pointing the rifle towards us like he was waiting for a signal to start shooting at us. The distance between us was about a hundred meters give or take, and he reached them within a few seconds, then immediately bent down and stared, hugging the two kids and the woman who was holding them while the other three women gave them a space by moving back while standing each in a side, like they were keeping some type of formation.After less than a minute, the empore

    The First EncounterPart 1B"I have a request for all of you. I need you to assist me to keep my family safe until I get a way to take back my county." That was the emporer request. Looking around me, I was thinking, What was the reason behind asking a group of odd people gathered in a forest, among them women and children? Also, those people were totally strangers, so was it normal in this world to ask favors from strangers? I don't know why that didn't make any sense to me. At the same time, I was looking around and checking the faces of the people around me and their reactions. The faces of the ladies I was with were without any expressions, except for the surprise of the identity of the man who was talking, and the new group was strangely standing apart, which made me come to the conclusion that they are not together or else they would have stood together.The same thing I was doing, the emperor was doing it also, looking at the faces of the people around him. Although nobody reac

Still, I intended to tell the emperor the truth when the time was right. I don’t know if he would be able to help me with my situation or not, but all I can do is try, since all I can do at the moment is to go forward. There are no set goals a head of me that I am aspiring to or want to fulfill at the moment. Except that thing deep in my hearth looking for some one or something that I don't know who or what it is, at that one of the ladies started talking and introducing herself; the one with two swords started speaking and said, “Your Highness, my name is Amun; I was in a city called Andoradiya when I left an office building. I found myself in this forest suddenly, although that was not the most strange thing that happened to me but definitely the strangest.”. I thought to myself apparently that what she said was true, for som

The next thing I heard was the man in a uniform saying, “The question is, where in this forest can be considered safe?” Although I have no idea what dangerous animals or beasts are roaming around this forest, or any other beings I am not aware of, regardless of the armed men that we have been fighting for a while now, the real question is: where in this forest can it be safe for us to rest and plan for our next step? Personally, I don’t have any answer for that, and I don’t think anyone has the answer to that. At that time, the Statues Panel interface appeared in front of me, like it was giving me the answer that I was looking for, but the full menu appeared this time, so I had to figure out what was new this time by myself: Name: Aden Age: 16 Race: Human Rank: A (Officer) Level: 6 Status: healthy Skills: five skills gained 1- Skill Name: Flash Skil

She put the device that she was listening to and collected another one from her desk drawer and started recording a message: “This recording is from Section One; the time is 17.00 hours, and today is the first day that officially Project Zero One started finally. I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer.

From this distance, nobody was able to guess the size of it, but since it was almost three kilometers outside of the city and was visible that much from that distance, it was obvious that it was huge; everyone was able to see it was palpitating like a heart from that distance.

The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take.

At least they have been together more the rest of them, Regardless of their meeting in the forest, as they said, Murad shook his head like he was dropping the questions that filled it and went to the boy. Aden stood up when he saw Murad approaching him and smiled while saying, “It’s embarrassing to say that, seeing you came to help me, but I am actually leaving the tent here that way I didn’t dismantle it.” Murad was not expecting to hear that at all While the surprise was showing on his face, he asked, “Can I ask you why?” Aden didn’t expect to be asked that question either, so he hesitated for a second and said while scratching his head with a small laugh, ”ha

He was staring at a black portal that was enormous, over four meters tall and ten meters wide, with a black square shape instead of the typical gateway portals seen on this planet. It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body. This is what the young man was talking about. He told himself, "So it's all true then," confirming the first thing the boys had mentioned. "The time was the next thing he confirmed, and it was true too." He had the chance to glance at the clock now that it was getting to be the time of sunset, but he didn't think of it. He fe

In a manner I never had before, if it were anybody else in front of me telling me that, the first reaction that would accrue to me would have been to cut his head immediately, without even getting the opportunity to get questioned about where he got the information. But fortunately or unfortunately, the one who said that was a child, although the expression on my face changed and my hand was on the gun and the sword in my waist, a complete involuntary reaction from my side.It took me nearly a minute to gather myself and regain my composure.

From the blank way he was looking at him, the emperor noticed that the boy was looking at something else, and most probably he also got, “The lost art.” As one of the few humans on this planet who has knowledge of “the lost art” and has learned a few of its skills, he can tell that this boy has it. This is his first encounter with not one but two unexpected individuals in an expected situation with unexpected knowledge.

So far, all we knew in the first volume was that he was looking for his wife, and that was all he was looking for. Where was he imprisoned? What for? There were a lot of questions that no one asked and nobody answered, and no one will unless someone dares ask the correct question.Also, I edited the previous chapter, its not just a copy of the same chapter of the first volume to go along with the current retelling of the story without changing much from the original story as a recap because of the importance of the story line. I remember one reader asking me if I was just filling in the characters for the sake of my book, and he was specifically talking about Jack :) I hope now he got the answer.
