102,103,104,105,106… 235,236,237,238… 300,301,302.
‘302 scars counted on both my arms together, tomorrow I should count my legs wonder if they have more?’, Thought the young man.
Satisfied with a sheepish grin the young man sat back in the chair after counting his scars that his parents had given each and every day to him until it had stopped a year ago.
‘I wonder how they are doing?’, The young man always wishing in the back of his head that they were dead,his hate festering within him in this small white cage.
He remembered how he and his little sister were separated from their crazy parents by child services when he had just turned 15 years old.
At the time all the major news networks talked about it like wild fire at the time.
How could they possibly do that to their child? What sick people, Poor child, I doubt he’ll live a good life.
Hearing this from adults made him sickened down to his core by their talk, not because he hated his parents no, no he hated them with all his being.
But because they treated him like he was mentally insane, they thought he could not understand them, he hated this more then his parents.
The press never learned of this not even the police that in fact, has IQ was astounding score of 187!
These scars are from him getting problems wrong with the tests his parents gave him every day.
Doctors thought he had a major post psychotic behavior so they decided to put him in this insane asylum, throwing a problem away from the light.
So they didn't have to look at his eyes cold cunning eyes, whenever they tried to talk to him they only saw his overabundance of darkness in his icy cold golden brown eyes and made them avoided his gaze.
The youth turned his head to the bared glass window and spotted an unknown meteor streaking across the sky.
Meteor Horizon-H1 was racing across the sky.
‘If I remember right the nurses were talking about it being a once and a life time see. They were talking about that meteor possibly granting a single wish.’, Thought the boy sitting upright.
‘Of course I know wishes are just wishes that never amount to nothing, but what the hell do I have to lose? Thinking about it what should I wish for? The death of my parents? Nah I can do that myself. The world to be destroyed? I still gotta travel around the world when I get a chance. Freedom? In two years I should be able to get out of here after I pass a psychiatric evaluation by law. Power? Yes, that would be nice the power to live the way I want, with no chains to hold me down.’, Grinned the boy.
After making up his mind the boy whispered in an icy voice, “I Saren Wild wish for power to live my life how I want.”
At the moment Saren made his wish the meteor broke apart into millions of silver streaks of light, like mini shooting stars across the sky absolutely breathtakingly beautiful .
What’s happening? Saren watched as the streaks of light landed all around him in shining white flashes.
One of the lights instantly pierced straight into his chest he had no time to dodge!
Saren was blown back out of his chair onto the floor. With a hint of fear Saren felt the impact with his hand.
‘No Pain? Their should be a gaping hole in my chest?’, Saren even though on the outside was calm as a pond of water.
Inside he was still in a state of shock from the meteor fragment that should have killed him!
‘Weird I’m sure I saw it enter my...’ As if getting hit by a fist full of coins, images started filling his head, mind splitting with an overloading mass of images flooding through it.
‘What is this? Blueprints? Commands? Combat? Designs?’, Painfully these words passed in a extremely fast pace firing off like a Gatling gun.
His brain went into overdrive a million miles in a second, with his nose bleeding in a slow but constant pace, and puking until there was nothing in his stomach left to give.
Grinding his teeth, all over his body veins bulging could clearly be seen.
Saren was on the verge of passing out, about to lose his consciousness the process slowed down, after a minute more the two words, ‘Download complete’ sounded though his head like cool water pouring over head.
Getting off his knees he slowly made his way to the sink drinking some water, head still felt dizzy.
Heading back to bed, making sure to sidestep his lost dinner.
With a thunk he hit the bed cold sweat persperating all around his body.
He hoped laying down for a bit his headache would soon be gone and nose would stop bleeding.
A bit of time passed returning his breathing to normal, his mind had cleared, and his nose stopped bleeding.
Yet one thing remained the unknown information was definitely still there if he touched it mentally with a thought.
Massive folders holding countless blueprints filled his vision.
‘What is this? What was that?’, thought Saren as pondered over what just happened.
“Hello master~ ~ ~”, A weird girl appeared inside his head next to the folders.
Saren noticed the girls features; long dark blue glowing hair, yellow stars scattered in her light blue eyes, and a mix of white, light blue, and blue colors for her techno style clothing.
Gasping Searn was surprised by this development, “Hello? What are you? Who are you?”
A thought struck him when he said those words aloud, ‘I wonder if I’m really crazy a part of a meteor landing inside me? Blueprints of weird designs? A girl inside my head? Whats going on?’
The girl looked shocked and glancing in the direction of the door, “Master it’ll be wise for you to leave right now introductions can be on hold till then.”
Glancing at the door the Seran heard the small sounds of screams and fortunately the sounds were growing further and further.
Thinking inside my head, ‘What is that?’
The girl relays me some information, “Here it’s best to show you then explain. I’m going to pull the live feed from the cameras.”
A screen materializes inside Serans head, what astounds him is what he’s watching a crazily grinning boy known as Jag whose burning guards, doctors, and nurses with just a touch, the camera cuts off after Jag melts a guards head with his hand.
He’s a true psycho holding my breath.
Wait that direction, he’s heading to the girls cells, Hanna is in there I can’t let him go, but how do hell do I get out of my cell?
The girls voice echos in my head, “Touch the door your power is more than knowledge,”
What the hell might as well try.
I place my hand on the door and over one hundred options appeared from one of the massive folders.
I ask the the girl in my head, “Are these the options I can make right now?”
The girl nods.
“Do you know what's the best weapon to fight against Jag for me to use?”
The options narrow down to nine.
Option 1# Common Steel short sword, 2# Makeshift steel tower shield, 3# Common steel knifes, 4# Long steel knife, 5# Long steel club, 6# Common tacks, and 7# steel wire, 8# Common Steel Spear 9# medium shield.
The girl says, “Master you can transmute this material since it’s common steel without tools to work with it. Though they will be crude, they will work for now. When you have finished making up your mind say transmute and the metal will take shape to what you desire.”
Thinking about how to fight Jag, his power is to shoot fire with his long range abilities which in the video takes time to charge.
While his short range if not activated takes a split second to turn on.
Which means I have a chance to end it fast long range if not close range is my last resort.
I noticed as well he won’t get burned by his flames. What would be best is small knifes good to throw at him, tacks to mess with his footing, and a Long steel Knife to finish him off should I have no choice.
To counter his fire I should get the fire resisted blankets along the way.
Can I make armor out of it? “Can you tell me your name I don’t want to call you girl all the time.”
The girl grins a bit, “You finally ask master my name is Trix-micro Mark-1X.”
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
That name is too long, “I’ll just call you Trix is that alright?”
Trix smiles, “That name is too kind for me master. You could use it as armor but you'll need to build the proper station for it ja~.”
I head through complex with the help of Trix to pass through the panic personal, sometimes a fight is unavoidable meaning I had to disable some people.
Trix didn't stop me which I was surprised she just guided me.
Signs of Jag though the hall was apparent everywhere burnt corpses, and it’s smell of death lingered in the air heavily, fire spread across the walls and floor.
We don’t have much time before this place burns down.
I run using Trix as my eyes she tells me we’re almost to where Hanna’s cell is unfortunately Jag is almost their.
Good thing I prepared to fight him on the way with those nasty weapons I made if things get hairy.
Jag is just outside Hanna’s door I knew he’d be heading here.
The only reason instead of getting out of here and that would be to kill my sister.
Guess he’s still tormented by my sisters words, what were they? Ah yes, ‘Spoiled trash that thinks he’s God.’
There is only one course of action, kill him there is no middle ground I remember that he can’t be reasoned with.
Quickly making my way to finish him off I throw five steel knifes wrapped in anti heat-blankets tied to them by fusing steel line through them at him to see if they can get though his fire aura.
Surprisingly they stab him,but I missed his vitals damit, screaming in pain Before turning around he spotted me, he grabs the knifes and I see the flames quickly melt the steel to liquid puddles.
Jags eyes turn red, filled with rage and blood lust, “Saren, your dead fucker and so is your little sister when I’m finished with you!!”
Falling back to Plan B I dash down the hallway, luckily my attack stuck deep into his legs slowing down Jag making me much faster than him.
I moved quickly to the next ambush, while running I broke the lights to make him lose his vision the smoke blocked a good part of vision as well. I hid in one of the open cells waiting for my chance.
Jag grins in front of who he thinks is me sitting on the chair its a dead body who I switched clothes with a before.
It’s one of the dead patients I don’t know how he died, but I use him in my trap since he’s dead I doubt he’ll mind, “There you are fucker time to die, I’m going to rape your sister when I’m done with you. Accept your death haha-ha-HAHAHA-HAHAHAHA!”
Jag grabs the corpse’s head and is confused when he hears no screaming while he’s melting the body, as soon as he had motion to grab the body I’m already moving.
I have no hesitation to kill this is my only chance now or never.
Taking my knife that I have covered with the anti-heat blanket and stabbed him straight into his neck.
He reaches out to try to burn me, but I use my makeshift shield covered in anti-heat blanket to block his hand.
I twist the blade before letting go backing out his range to make sure he dies.
Jag’s last words while coughing mouthfuls of blood holding his squirting neck , “You.. fu...cker I’ll… ki..ll y…”
The light fades from his eyes and his lifeless body falls to the ground unmoving blood starts to pool around starting from his neck.
I did it.
My first kill.
Trix buzzes inside my head with a worrying voice asking me,“Master you ok? It must be hard to kill your own kind.”
It’s strange I should feel something for killing him, but I don’t.
He is a human being who should have never existed. Scum of the world.
Shaking my head I respond, “He was a lost cause for humanity it’s better for me to kill him now before he ruins more lives, before it’s too late I should get my sister out of here.”
“Wait.”, Trix voice stops me from moving.
Angrily I growl at her, “Why? I will not mourn for him, his body will burn with the rest of this hellhole.”
Trix doesn't care about my anger and points highlighting an object in my vision, “Look at his chest its a orb of his power take it, you will be in need of it since there will be many more battles to come.”
I take a glance at him.
Shes right there really is an orb, it’s translucent filled with a strange orange flame flickering inside.
Without hesitation Saren grabs the orb off Jad’s corpse .
‘So to the victors go the spoils.’, I smiled thinking back to Nash.
The orb enters my body instantly as I grab it, and a sense of immense heat enters my body in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Doubling-over, my vision goes hazy, heat trying to consume my body no my whole being, and my mind beginning to burn to a crisp.
Trix’s voice sounded so far away, “Master you need to control the flames.”
How? I’m dying inside out from the flames bursting inside.
“Damnit!”, Screaming aloud there's no time to figure all of this out.
Obey my command shitty flames for my anger burns stronger than you!
Little by little the flames dim within me till only a small ember I could feel inside the center of my chest.
“As expected of my master. In such a small time to quell his anger.”
I stand up and head straight to my sisters room there is no more time to screw around.
This place is full of fire and smoke consuming everything.
I’d say we only got a few more minutes before we run out of oxygen.
Sprinting full force I run with all my might finally reaching my sister’s room.
I transmute the door to open. When I enter the room it’s ice cold what is this?
Hanna in her bed is clutching her knees, “Hanna you ok!?”
Staring at me with her gray blind eyes with a small smile, “Brother is that you?”
“Yes sister we’re getting out of here.”
She reaches her arms outstretched, I touch them they’re freezing I might die if I hold onto her to long.
“Sister can you control your power it’s going to freeze me. Try to imagine reseeding your power into a small ice center inside your chest.”
“I’ll try brother.”
After a bit the room temperature turns into a blazing inferno of heat.
Her face shows fear, “It’s hot brother I’m scared.”
I grab her small hands and put her on my back, “Don’t worry sis I’ll get us out of this jam.”
Glancing at the door the flames are a torrent too strong to go though we’ll get burned alive if we try.
Now what was that saying again?
Ah yes If there is no way out make one.
I touch the wall facing from the door and transmute it into a open hole.
Luckily the fire is only just starting to burn this place, the exits blocked, but that shouldn't be a problem we can get out.
My sis pulls on my hair, “Brother what about the people trapped inside their cells?”
I knew she would stress over not saving them so I had Trix open the locks after fighting Jag letting them have the chance to escape, “ Don’t worry I’ve taken care of the locks they have to find their own way out though.”
I transmute more holes until we finally exit the building.
Cold air hits us with a gentle breeze.
For a moment I take in the freedom it’s been so long, the full moon shining high in the sky with no Iron bars to block my view, surrounded by bright stars with no clouds in sight.
As the meteorite fragments falling throughout the sky like fallen greed for the people who inherit them, the chosen, for this new chaotic world.
Hannah pulls my cheek, “You ok brother?”
I muster my voice to sound confident, “Yes sis I’m ok, we’re going to head to my old friends house you remember him right?
Turning my head to Hannah she says in a cheerful voice, “Nash right? Eheheh it’s been a while since we’ve had his food.”
Grinning I let out a small laugh, “Haha hold on sis we’re heading straight there.”
For the rest of the night the orbs fall down to earth.
