ranne but how
how am I here
I was just there with Jorge in the dark a moment ago completely powerless how could I be here now
could I be seeing the future or coming back in time but how
the system should have said something or at least given me access to it if I had gotten power
‘where is the system notification that follows using power’
but more importantly
I felt a shiver down my spine
‘NO, THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING NO NO NO NO’
ranne but how
how am I here
I was just there with Jorge in the dark a moment ago completely powerless how could I be here now
could I be seeing the future or coming back in time but how
the system should have said something or at least given me access to it if I had used powers
‘where is the system notification that follows using power’
but more importantly
I felt a shiver down my spine
‘NO, THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING NO NO NO NO’
I felt myself getting more anxious and my breathing getting heavier I was nearly breaking down my mind was on the brink if not for Curiosity desiring an answer to calm me down and, ranne trying to help start shaking me after
hesitating for a while she shakes me
giving me something else to think about which help unlike all the sounds of people around
I try to relax and stand up
I feel annoyed at the touch, but that still managed to calm me a bit
I look at her normally this time so that she will calm down
“frisk can you hear me normally now”
“yes ” I put processing everything on the side for now
but keep the note clear in my mind
‘I have to know for sure there must be no room for doubt and
there is an easy way to make sure too’
I think as I realize I have made a scene as dozens of people were looking at me with a worried expression and recording me, I grinned my teeth and for a split second I thought of something I probably shouldn’t
I look away from them.
‘This is going to take a while to explain to everyone that I am fine when they see the video ,but more importantly if I have power what am I going to tell them’
as I sat somewhat relaxed and talking normally and everything was fine I was preparing to leave
but ranne didn’t want me to leave and decided by herself that she had to be around me everywhere and that it was too dangerous for me to be alone, I had to wait a short while arguing with her about how I was fine and she shouldn’t call anyone she accepts not to call my parents, but called elice and lunna they gave no answer until she had to go with troubled expression due to not being able to be late she also did insist on me coming with her, but she eventually gave up
she looked really angry, but she finally left which meant I could finally check the place in my mind with no one following,
‘don’t feel guilty you needed an answer alone she will forget about it anyway, just visit her later’ note to myself
after tracing my footsteps back to that same place with terrible lighting
and looking at the place where it happened it was empty there was nothing to see there it was in a perfect state I sighed in relief
“I knew I was just imagining it nothing of this was real, I am not a wielder, she is alive nothing is wrong”
‘stop diluting yourself you are just too late ’
I ignore that thought
but small inking of doubt forced me to get closer, but thankfully their was still nothing
there, the place where the girl dyed it is the same
, as I keep moving not really focusing I slip on something and I find myself
hitting the floor
“what was that ”
I stand up holding my hand again distorted I hear the sound of a ball hitting the floor then I remember the ball the girl thrown
, but how didn’t I notice it
‘I look where I slipped only to find totally dark and extremely difficult to notice details special for such a small ball ’ I looked at the ball my eyes shook it the same ball from that fight
“Does this mean this all happened which means I have power, and that girl is dead she is really dead”
the two realizations hit me like a truck
I look at the ball with shocked eyes
I heard a familiar voice, but it seemed to be coming from the darkness around me
“did you know her, are you her friend or collaberater, then tell me where are those videos and who else is here with you” his voice was filled with contentment, but there was a hint of regret
“you shouldn’t have come here, special when your friend didn’t come back "
as the darkness surges around me and dark shackles appear around my limbs
pinning my knees to the ground and everything went dark
“stop why are you doing this and what are you even doing ”
I shout my breath becoming faster
And I feel my body getting colder
‘why did I come here again it was so stupid I should have known if it was real It could be really bad ’
“you messed with the wrong person, so answer me where is it,” he said as a black shadowy blade that was aimed at my forehead appeared from the darkness . I couldn’t see it, but felt its tip touching my head
my heart race as try to move my hand
‘clam down just try to explain everything ’
“Jorge what are you doing you yo…., I don’t who you are talking about okay you just came out ”
“then why did you recognise her stupid trick”
‘Just think of something’
I say shaking
“I was scared of dark okay I was scared, I knew it was stupid, but there was no one and then that slip and ball made me remember a horror movie okay, and what is all this about
are you out of your mind I knew you acted weird but using your power, on civilian in camps” I stuttered multiple times while saying it
‘I can’t think of anything, the situation, I just can’t ’
“do you know who I am, I own this place don’t lecture me ”
“and isn’t rich coming from you after trying blackmail, it was a stupid idea, your friend is dead because of that brilliance and so well you, after all, no trace can be left ”his voice was shaking in the last part
but I didn’t notice his threat was enough to scare me and for me to feel powerless
I was trying to activate my power
“Why am I in this stupid situation, and why am I so powerless, and why is this power so hard to control”
as the fear takes over my body I feel something breaking it was simeailer to last time I rewind time but this time it was way easier and less and I didn’t rewind
Stolen novel; please report.
and way less loud
and I feel something appear in my hand
“you are a wielder” he said with a worried voice seeming surprised and taken,
as I try to escape the shackles I look at my hand to find a weird sword shaped like the hand of a clock and I try to just to break the shackles, but other than bringing much need light and, making him wary and causing him to back off a bit and being worried
it didn’t do much
“is that what made you think you could threaten me”
“Why do think that’s all I could, so Let me repeat I came here by mistake and this all is a misunderstanding so let back off and no one gets hurt,” I say with a straight voice or as much as I can make it
he sighed looking “hahaha” “You caused me all that trouble and that was all you could do, no forget it, no one leaves until I get that video do you hear me”
he
takes his breath trying to calm down his emotions
he puts his hand down
“ stop acting stupid, you wanna leave fine just answer me, only then will I make an exception and pretend you weren’t here, okay ”
“you are insane bastard I did nothing, I don’t know what are you talking about for goodness stop making the assumption”
“so what if is an assumption, better safe than sorry don’t you think
and are you trying to convince me someone is stupid enough to threaten the son of the president alone without even being a wielder” he says
as the shadowy shackles start drawing me closer to the ground
I slowly feel myself sinking into the darkness below as if it were water
but just as feel myself nearly giving up
I act impulsively, and I struggle as much as I can, hoping that if he tries anything, I might at least slow him down, which is unlikely.
As I tried to move the hand that held the sword with all the might I had,
then a miracle happened the sword and a glow happened and an invisible dome appeared around me and everything seemed to have moved faster for as long as it lasted with was only for a couple of moments and as I looked at Jorge only his hand was inside the dome and then just as it disappears as quickly as it appears I hear Jorge scream in pain it causes him to recall and fall to his knees, I could feel his voice tearing his throat and as the nails in his other dug in first one drawing blood
as shadow disappear
he looked miserable with red eyes holding his hand
I stand on my shaking leg looking at him in shock
‘what happened why did this happen’
I looked at his hand only to notice nothing something was perfect there was nothing wrong other than it making weird movements, so why was he acting like his right hand was on fire
he kept wailing in pain
“what the fuck did you to my hand, answer me you stupid bitch answer” he barely manage to say those worlds
his eyes were wet, but he managed to stand up and look at me with bloodshot eyes
, but he was off balance, whatever this dome did to him, it was bad
he was a mess now with his domain hand not working right even if he didn’t look hurt on the outside, except for the nail marks on his right hand
he looks at me with some fear
at first, I was confused and afraid still, but he looked at me with so eyes, a hint of glee appeared on my face, but I kept it hidden
“Please let just end it just a misunderstanding,” I say feeling tired
‘I considered running, but the shadow manifestation retreated but didn’t desperate, so it would be risky’
seemed hesitant to consider running
“do really think that there is a way out After hurting me there will be consequences”
my family won’t let go of the issue for you ” he hesitated for a moment “or for me this has to end here ”
he looks at me with hateful eyes
“and for all the pain that nearly made me tear my hand know that while I have a way out you don’t so fight back or just make it easier because you are coming with me,”
‘he said brave words for someone who was struggling to say complete words from the pain’
‘that does please power i need to rewind why did it stop now lunna being was enough, but this hell isn’t’
as he pushes his hesitation aside, but
I am not sure, but for a second it was as if his eye scanned the area behind him
he tries to keep his distance snaps his finger and sinks to the ground and shadow consumes everything once more it is hard
try focusing on that
‘could things slow down why are things getting worse ’
as my sword glowed a second time a new dome appeared
, but I didn’t hear a scream this time, and glow made the area around me and indie become visible
as the shadows around moved like they were made of water countless spikes appeared at came at me at an extremely fast speed, but when they entered the dome they became extremely slow that I could easily avoid them
as I feel my sword getting weaker I try to hold on to it as much as I can it works
, but feel strained moreover for some reason I started needing to focus on the dome
or the spike would move at normal speed and move outside would become faster after
basically, it would affect me too
the strain was a lot all I could afford was clumsy dodge everything
……………………………..
Jorge pov
as lay in the dark realm seeing the real from behind a grey screen looking at the girl standing with a glowing sword surrounded by darkness
as I aimed the spike, but just as they entered the outer region of the bright area they became extremely slow moreover my aim was terrible because the pain in my hand was way better now, and remembered how bad. it sent chills down my spine
thankfully her power seemed to be inconsistent which helped do some cuts, but still not enough to knock her out
but
what is happening it all started when
I received a message from someone asking about the girl I was training with
asking where she was and she had been messing then when I said she sent soo stupid video and asked we meet
turns out it was her friend I barely it was not like they were from the people I hurt
My thoughts were cut by a headache and a new spike of pain in my hand
it broke my focus and I was forced out of my shadow to the real world as my focus broke the spike that I manifested halted I looked at her
‘is there time dilation then why is my hand hurt guess, why she is so hard to deal with she is barely able to use her power’
I stand feeling myself getting tired my vision this has to end now
‘no forget’
‘what matters is my mother must never hear of this everything must be buried here’
I didn’t think feeling anger rise once more I used all my power and didn’t care about what well happen.
…………
As I breathed in and out slowly from exhaustion my body was covered from the times I failed to keep the dome working in cuts and I was exhausted, but he seemed to be slowing down.
I think just as he appears in a terrible state, but far away so that dome reaching is impossible.
I need to do something.
‘I need to find a way to hit him one more time and run while hopefully this one completely breaks his concentration’
just i as felt desperate and he slowed the dome I was holding my sword desperately and a different one appeared instead of things moving slower they moved faster,but this time things on the outside were moving slower and I felt surprisingly free and not struggling with maintaining
I moved to the edge as fast as I could just as the darkness around him was moving rapidly I made a dome externally slowing the light to become smaller around I tried to keep it moving with it worked but it was hard and exhausting it felt like reading and someone shouting in your ear
whatever he was doing it felt like an Earthquake had hit the watery cliff of darkness surrounding me, Jorge his eyes were black as obsidian his breathing was heavy with blood coming from his nose
he snaps his perfect
it was too much to dodge without getting red of some of them they came rushing at me from all directions
a weird strain of thought enters m
remembering what I just had studied for the exam. I had a guess of what the dome
‘just hope I am right’
just as a massive spike came past I thought at interaction and the part that after the area I touched burst as it was vein
the bleed in his nose got worse
giving on a spike he gathers all spikes above me hoping to crush me like an ant
, but in doing he left himself completely open for something to shoot at him out of the way to doge I put the dome around the sword and threw at him, the lights around desperate leaving me vulnerable I hoped this worked, but I heard the sword hitting the floor
as I see darkness above coming as if the sky was failing with what light
“your aim was terrible, consider yourself lucky I don’t lose control of anger even, what a shame you wouldn’t have been a terrible wielder ”
“I hate I just realized I am wielder you deaf bastard,I never fought once in my life what do you expect ”
“don’t worry I won’t kill you”
‘please rewind, I really don’t wanna be part of any of this I just want to if the girl really died, or if I am wielder what did ’
I close my eyes feeling regret and fear just waiting for moment
I feel something touching my head as I hear the familiar breaking sound it was louder than any other time, but no pain this time
just as I open my eyes I feel a paralyzing exhaustion wash over me suddenly I feel like I am something between hungry and thirsty.
' is that what mana depletion feels like
just as open eyes
I found myself in the middle of the examination hall when something ran down my nose I hid the blood as fast as I could, and I took a tissue and wiped it
‘thankfully nothing happened this time ’ I say to myself
I looked at the exam and found that I already finished it and handed it in and gone outside
exam hall
I leave without much issue
as stand outside examination hall trying to think of what to
“I have power I actually have power,” I say as I bite my libs,
but more importantly “but more importantly where is the system why is it not telling me anything this shouldn’t be happening Awakening shouldn’t be that painful from what I heard ” I check my surrounding
“system window” I whisper to myself
nothing happened
“system statues ” I whisper to myself
still, nothing happened
“maybe no one will notice then, after all the scanner at the college did nothing”
“any if one of those ability scanners I will tell them I just never used so I never knew I had”
after power needs to be used for the system to do something”
need to stop thinking about
I look at the watch I nearly forget I have from all this I still have half an hour before the whole mess that happened at that place
I feel my legs growing weak and chill all over I
nearly died twice or was captured to hopefully prison or something
sigh
,but
‘it is dangerous, yes, but you can actually change someone’s life help them and save their life and it’s not like you well have to just warn and this way I would annoy that bastard ’
‘also she didn’t seem a person’
“fine I will warn her to put just that, but if I see a person I will leave as fast as I can”
“Now I hopefully have the time I need”
as I walk with my own legs to the cursed place I have grown to hate within my very core
“I really hate coming back here, don’t worry the plan should prevent me from being put in any danger”
I had an idea of leaving a small piece of paper with the word being cut from the revision book’
but just used my none domient hand and hoped for bad handwriting to cover it
I hesitant for a moment
‘someone is about to die just try to avoid being ina bad situation this time ’
I just finished the
(it)(is)(dangers)(here)
(Jorge) (well) (cause)(a)(problem)
(it)(might be)(your)(end)
I made sure it easy to notice
but sure it will not fly away
I hope this will work
‘I know it’s a pathetic attempt but it is best I can think of anything else I know there must be a better plan but I guess I am not smart or brave enough to find it’
I say to no one but myself.
as I move after a small amount of time I see something that should have happened appear before my eyes shocking me to my core a big red alarm appeared above the camps
it read “A new dungeon has appeared in the area please get ready to run or fight, please have a good time”
as that happens I feel dizziness and something is wrong as if something I shouldn’t be aware of changed direction and it’s hitting the breaks and trying to stop and I don’t why or how I am aware of it
“fine I will warn her to put just that, but if I see a person I will leave as fast as I can”
