Emika was pondering her thoughts when she noticed that the cup in her hand had turned cold. With a sigh, she set the cup down and turned to face the direction; there was a shadow in the same spot where the young man had stood in her dream; she closed her eyes, waited a few seconds, and then opened them again, hoping that what she saw was just her imagination.
This distance between where she is sitting and the location of what appears to be a young man walking straight to the west gate is almost 3 kilometers, which was allowing her to see practically perfectly clearly everything except the features of his face that he is a young man wearing a strange clothes.Is it a coincidence that he appears in the same spot as she did in her dream last night, or is he there and this is a premonition? That was the first thought that came to her mind.She returned her gaze to the young man, this time rising from her seat and pokinga small object on the table, torching the center of the object without taking her gaze away from him, and saying there isa stranger approaching the west gate, apprehend him, bring him to the tower, and confine him, and notify the council to assemble.Around the same time, three men and a woman sat at a circular table in a different hidden chamber in the same tower with no windows or even a door, all wearing white ropes with hoods concealing their faces, each about 2 meters apart.Each of them was looking in screen in front of him watching a different scene, except for the woman who was holding a little divorce in her hand projecting a scene that is not visible to the others only she could see, with anticipation and a faint smile she whispered to her self, It just started.When I got closer to the wall, I observed a massive black gate in the middle of the wall that was as tall as a 12-story buildings finally, I'm going to see people, I thought.Next thing I realized when I got closer to the front of the gate without saying a single word six unformed men approaching me each of them holding a bizarre weapon looking like a rifle but was as long as the spears.They begin to encircle me speaking inUn familiar language, from their gesturei deducted that they want me to go with them and rise my hands up and follow them and I did.Beside the entrance of the closed gate there was a small building appearing to be the guards house, they escorted me there when they discovered that I am not resisting them and was following.They led me to a room where two guards stood on opposite side in front of a large door, the one who seemed to be the superior said something to the guard on the right side and the guard nodded without saying anything he touched a specific location on the door and a small screen appeared, typed something on the screen that looked like a pass code an opening appeared in the middle of the door.When I tried to look around the room see what was inside I couldn't see anything at all it was completely dark place one of the men escorting me who was standing behind me pushed me ahead to enter, without any other choice I entered the dark room.With the first step inside I felt a chill run down my spine with a strange sensation all over my body and gravity pulling me forward, I tried to resist it but failed, that didn't take more than few seconds before I found my self appearing in another room surprised with by the ubrupt change of the scene, I began looking around the room which had a bed in corner, small table in the other corner and in the middle q closet about one meter square.When I turned to face my back I discvered the I was in jail cell, confirmiung that and removing any doubt the iron pars that I am facing now.Having no idea and un able to understand why I have been thrown in a jail without doing any thing despite the fact i couldn't comprehend the language my captors ware speaking but no one even tried to converse with me or asked me any questions.I figured that at least I am going to sleep in a bed tonight instead of the open field that I have been walking on all day long, as soon as I sat down on the bed I felt every thing around me began to shake the first thing that came to mind was this is an earthquake, the shaking started to intensified and I instinctively went straight under the table.She is still a child. I am curious as to why they brought her here and her brother, he may appear to be tough, he is still a young boy. What do you think? asked one of the white roped men who were starting in line in a row, the one next to him in a very low voice, like a whisper. Without looking at him, he answered the question with a question. What do you think? And I kept looking at the young boy and girl who are unconscious in a tube surrounded by other men who look like them, in what seems to be a laboratory with a lot of different machines.There are more than 20 men wearing the same long white rope gear ware in the room some of them working in some type of machine and some are observing without doing any thing. Again he asked despite the fact that he hadnot received an answer to his initial question, is it really necessary to suppurate them? This time irritated by his colleagues questions he looked at at him and said that is the whole point of what we are doing or did you
Raco was on the ground and sprinting towards the couple in the blink of an eye. It took him less than thirty seconds to reach them. During that time, the personal computer chip in his helmet automatically provided him with all the information he needed and presented it to him without asking and displayed it on a transparent screen in front of him, only visible to him. with recommendations also. Following those recommendations, he moved left to face the Fangag on that side since it was closest to the couple than the one behind them. Taking out a small object like a flashlight from a bag dangling from his side, he pressed a button on the end and a sword made of Lazer appeared and materialized in front of him. While running carrying the little girl, he noticed something or someone running towards him at a speed no human can match, and in the blink of an eye, turned and disappeared to his right side. At that time, he lost his momentum and his speed slowed. A few seconds later, While h
Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw in front of him. "Bring them in," was the command he received, and he gestured to them with a sign from his hand indicating to follow him. Still with a blank expression on his face, the man looked at the young girl. "He wants us to follow him, I guess," he replied, nodding. that moment, a sign to stop and a shush came from the boy who was looking around. Suddenly, from nowhere, three men appeared from three different directions, each one of them holding a weapon in their hands that looked like a short spear and wearing a black overall uniform. The one closest to the boy spoke with him and said something, and the boy pointed at them. Then he gave the other two who came with him some orders, and each one of them moved to a different direction than the other one and moved in haste. The man came straight to them, with Raco following behind him and stopping in front of them. The man looked back at Raco and asked him "how many languages did
In a dark alley in the capital city of Angadiya, which is called "Andoradiya," she woke up Nana with the same severe pain all over her body and an unbearable headache. It was hard to even open her eyes. She tried her best not to scream loudly from the pain she was feeling, holding her head with both her hands; she was capable of doing that and moaning, laying down on the hard surface of the alley floor. Finally, after almost 30 seconds, which seemed like eternity to her, the pain subsided and finally she was able to sit up and look around her. After almost a few more minutes, she stood and went to the lights that were coming from a nearby opening in front of her. With a few balanced steps, she moved slowly forward, falling sideways like a drunk person. There was nothing in her mind, her brain was totally black. As soon as the light hit her eyes, she started feeling the same severe headache aging, so she immediately closed her eyes and held her hand again. This time, fortunately, it
Nema froze in her place, holding her hands high up, complying with orders she received, and was taken to a room for interrogation without a word. The officer threw her in it and locked the room behind her. She sat in the room for almost an hour when finally the door was opened and two men and a woman came in. The men each had a weapon in their hands and the woman was holding a small device in her hand. As soon as she sat in front of her, she put the device on the table and started staring at her without asking anything.Nema didn't give any push, as she was scared on top of the confusion she was in. The silence continued for almost a minute, which seemed longer than hours to Nema and increased the tension she had felt from the beginning. Feeling awkward from the woman's stare and trying to break the silence, she asked, "Can you please tell me what is going on, and why am I being arrested?" "Didn't you suppose to help me?". The surprise was evident on the woman's face when Nema sp
In an underground bunker, on a large rectangle table, six people were seated opposite each other, with between each one a space enough for two chairs. In front of each is a large transparent screen. Whatever is showing on it is only visible to the person in front of it. To anyone seeing it, for the it will look very strange. Looking at those six people dressed in a peculiar way, with hoods covering their heads and masks over their faces, looking at a screen in front of them and typing something on an empty space in front of them, no one is talking, and the most strange thing is that they have been that way for six days now. None of them moved a single inch, not even for a minute from their position. The reason for that is really simple: because there are no doors or windows, no entrance or exit, any normal human will wonder how they got in to begin with. Suddenly someone appeared from nowhere, for the first time, the six people's attention was diverted from the screens to the man
Unknown to Aden, there were two separate parties having a meeting about him. The first was Emika and the council members discussing the information she provided them about the newcomer young man, who was so unbelievably strange that it may have seemed like he was an alien and they couldn’t figure out where or why he came here. Emika hesitated a little bit about informing them about her nightmares, which she came to believe after seeing the young man that they were not just nightmares but probably visions. If she tells them, regardless of what they may think of her afterwards, will they believe her? That was the issue, and what was occupying her thoughts while they were arguing among themselves. Knocking her fingers on the table to grab their attention, she said, "There's another thing you should know about." She paused for a few seconds and then continued, "For the past week, I have been having what I thought were just nightmares in my dreams, but now I am convinced that it was a vi
Calm down, calm down. I repeated that to myself a few times, doing my best to calm myself, but waaaaaaw that is really awesome. Yes, that was the only thing that came to my mind, and I almost said it aloud, but luckily I didn't. Although it was apparent on my face, I came back to reality and out of my fascination when I heard Emika ask me, "Are you alright?" "I can understand you. How is that possible? ", surprised that within a few minutes I was able to overcome the biggest obstacle I was facing. Instead of getting an answer from Emika, the AI in my head answered, "I have transferred Angariya's common language to your memory. That is why you can understand it. I transferred it to Broca's area, so you can speak it also. The next thing I heard was coming from Emika, saying, "Great, the chip we implemented was responsible for that. Being able to communicate was the reason we did it, and it can do many more. I believe it's already talking to you, and it can answer any questions you may
Chapter 39Beginning of the Invasion Part 2B Rohonda appeared to be listening to a report from some type of recorded device when the countdown started; although her attention was directed to what she was listening to, she didn’t miss the quietness of the place with hundreds of people being silent at once. 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. With a sigh, she rested her back on the chair she was sitting in and said, “I wonder if this was all a perdition or planned, I don’t know what they are thinking, fighting an alien invasion with abducted aliens.” a
Chapter 38Beginning of the Invasion Part 2A"Captain Birman, I would like to mobilize the National Guard to help with the city security if you don't mind." "And Ayuma, Please call the head of the council, Mr. Enigma, and tell him to meet me here as soon as possible." At that time she heard a sound similar to thunder, or maybe it was thunder, but usably the lightning and thunder come for the sky with a storm or rain but not in a confide or an open space near the ground; the circle was actually above the ground and was almost two and a half meters above ground. 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 movement of the muddy cloud inside the circle was so ominous that everyone who was still standing there felt the chill in their bones, and whoever di
Chapter 37Beginning of the Invasion Part 1BEmika’s point of viewThis was the worst nightmare I have been seeing, and I really wished it was just a nightmare, but it was not; it was a reality, a fact in front of my eyes. 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. But anything is better than being taken by surprise

Chapter 36Beginning of the Invasion Part 1AThe girls had a large tent and they were struggling with it, Since Ajbadan said he will help them, he decided to go to the boy Still, he was wondering why didn’t dismantle his tent? Or at least why? if he is not doing anything, why did he help the girls? Aren’t they his companions? 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
Chapter 35The First EncounterPart 6BGoosebumps ran down his spine when he saw what he saw when he used the skill. 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
Chapter 34The First EncounterPart 6A“If you don’t believe me, use your Predict skill, and you will see it.” That was it. I had to let him go and step back a couple steps. He knows two of my skills not just one but two. That is ridiculous. I have been shocked. 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. During this time, I came to the realization that someone else must have informed him about my skills. Therefore, I felt compelled to find out who that person was. At that moment, the only
Chapter 33The First EncounterPart 5B“We need to move from here; the monsters are coming; he is coming, he is coming; and we are all going to be dead." That was the only word that came out of his mouth, and then all he did was stare at the man standing beside him, although his body was shaking, like somebody who is scared or feeling cold, but his eyes were totally blank, like a blind guy who is just looking but not seeing anything. 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. While Juian was talking to the emperor, the skill foresight was activated, and he was not actually looking at or talking to the emperor,
Chapter 32Intermission Jack’s side story Part 1Anther's note:This is Jack’s story recap as I told it in the first volume, but I will now add the missing parts that were not known to anyone in the first volume or the second volume until now, or what was his connection to the storey line? 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.
