Chapter 9
A Sexy Beast in Magic World
I found myself in a white room, one I saw many times in movies. The room was nearly empty, with four white walls connected with a thin green line on each corner. A rectangular white object that looked like some kind of a wardrobe extended out from one of the walls, but I didn’t see any drawers or cabinets on it.
“This one welcomes you to Vault 3012, Lord Primus”
“Thank you, Guardian. Tell me, why is this place so empty?” I tried to act like I was really that lord it spoke about, trying hard not to get caught as an imposter, but I forgot the fact that I know nothing about this place or the guardian.
“This one does not understand your implication my Lord”
“Err... I mean… aaa. W-What can I find here?” I instantly tried to correct myself. I didn’t want to get caught, being the Oscar winner that I am right now.
“Anything that you have personally stored, Lord Primus” Replied the Guardian, opening Sesame’s doors for my greed.
“I need an antidote for the V0x2 poison, D0 variation” I spat out the technical name of the poison after a few seconds of trying to remember its name.
A rectangular space instantly opened in the middle of the wardrobe with a clicking sound that echoed across the room. A glass vial with a milky liquid swirling inside of it floated out and landed in my hands.
“This one states that this item is “The Remedium”, a counter to almost every known poison in the universe. Alas, this one detects no poison in the Lord’s vessel”
“It’s not for me Guardian, I have a Laireen friend in need of it, the poison already spread far into her body” I carelessly clarified to the Guardian, examining the strange swirling liquid in the vial.
“Lord Primus, this one sadly states that “The Remedium” only works on primus, it was made for your personal use only”
“WHAT! I can’t use it on anybody else?”
“This one afraid so, my Lord”
I scratched my bald head profusely, trying to find a solution to this dilemma, and it seems that the scratching worked. Taking off the lid, I immediately poured all the contents of the antidote in my mouth, allowing it to enter my system with a loud gulp.
I really hope this works, otherwise, I’ll have to travel to this cube for the ingredients, and there is no time for that now. Also, damn! Have these people actually made an all in one antidote? Looks like they’re a super advanced race or something.
“Guardian, is there a chance that you have a couple of Grokati arms?”
“This one afraid not, my Lord” the Guardian replied, with a faint hint of sadness in his monotonic tone, or it was probably my imagination.
“Okay then, I didn’t expect you to have any in the first place. Now, do you have some kind of keys to a spaceship parked somewhere? I don’t want to use public transportation if I have to get out of the planet” I hopefully asked, there were a lot of people after my head, and public transportation was dangerous, even if I had to go in disguise under a fake identity, it still possessed a degree of danger.
To my joy, the hole in the wardrobe opened yet again, a black shiny cylindrical object with encapsulated tips floated out of the hole in the wardrobe and landed in my hands. It was almost thirty centimeters long and five centimeters wide.
“Guardian, I requested for something I could use for a spacecraft, not my ass. What the hell should I do with this overgrown dildo” I spoke out with little frustration, he clearly didn’t understand the request?
Damn! Did it had to be black too?
“This one clarifies that the object in Primus' hands is not a sexual pleasure object and apologizes for any inconvenience. This one states that the object is Primus’s personal warcarrier, the “Star Sentinel”, a true marvel of techno-organic engineering. It was researched and built by the brightest Numen minds and was dubbed “The Terror of the Skies” by enemies of the Numen. It is still in its hatchling form, so, This one urges you to treat it well like you always did, Lord Primus”
“You mean this dild- ... thing is a ship? Doesn’t look like a spaceship to me. And what do you mean I take care of it, like … feed it?”
Feeling movement coming from the black object in my hand, I looked down to see it wiggling like a snake. I nearly dropped it, but it started coiling around my wrist like a bracelet.
I started shaking my arm in a hysterical manner while using my other hand to take it off, but the thing didn’t budge, latching on like it was part of my body.
“This one answers. The Star Sentinel feeds on cosmic energy and grows rapidly over time without any intervention. Also, it changes its shape and utilities based on your own personal needs, Lord Primus”
I didn’t know how to react to what the Guardian told me about the now-still object around my wrist. I couldn’t take it off and I didn’t exactly understand what it just meant by feeding on cosmic energy.
I let the subject go for now and started thinking about what should I ask for next, but I didn’t have time for that, I had a dying Laireen back in the hotel to save. So, I decided to come back later and browse everything thoroughly.
“Thank you, Guardian, that would be all for now. Please get me out of here”
“Yes, my Lord”
----------------------------------------
In a certain space, full of nothing but an endless void, a single green dot of light appeared.
<” This one AV-3012”>
<” Lord Primus treads the universe again”>
Another bright yellow dot appeared beside the green one, followed by another, and another.
Thousands, millions, billions, trillions, a nearly unlimited number of colored dots of different sizes appeared rapidly in the void one after another, illuminating the endless darkness, giving it the look of a beautiful starry sky.
Streaks of light started drawing lines connecting the dots, linking them together like a gigantic net . In the center of the net was a dot far larger than any other, but it was not as bright, it dimly pulsed in faint light every few seconds, like a heart without blood.
----------------------------------------
After a small flash of light, I was back in the gray-walled outer room.
“Cordi? You won’t believe what I found while you were gone” I excitedly addressed The AI as soon as I felt her presence back, indicated by the meters, bars, and maps in my vision.
“Is that so, what di-”
“C-Cordi, I-I don’t feel well” I held my hand over my mouth and clutched my stomach with the other, holding the intense feeling of throwing up. Intense pain soared through my abdomen and back, indicating that I’m about to throw up while having a severe case of explosive diarrhea.
“Adam, what exactly did you take inside, I’m purging an unknown substance I detected in your system”
“NO, DON’T! Cordi, this is an antidote for Ryola, do not let me shit it out, please!” I urged the AI, explaining to her that the liquid she’s purging is precious and not something that is considered harmful.
“We can’t be sure Adam, your safety comes fir-”
“CORDI! DO NOT LET A SINGLE FUCKING DROP OF IT OUT OF ME!” I roared in anger while kneeling on the ground, holding my stomach in agony.
“Yes… My Lord” This time I heard her well, she said, “My Lord” like the other AI.
You too Cordi? What the fuck is going on here?
“C-Cordi, why did you call me that?” I asked her directly, panting from the pain that is fading away by the second, looks like she really did stop the purge.
“Call you what, Adam?” She replied nonchalantly.
“You just said “Yes, my Lord” a moment ago, just like you did back at the colosseum”
“I said no such thing Adam” she replied back, refusing to acknowledge her own words.
Did the other AI infect her with some virus? No matter, we’ll see about that later.
“Cordi, let's go, we’re late” I instructed her while shouting to the Guardian to let me out, and after few minutes I was swimming back with all my energy, saying a temporary goodbye to Hamburg and praying that Ryola is still among the living.
Thankfully, the sun was still bright in the sky when I arrived at one of the beaches of Kaiserstein, there was like two hundred people swimming, playing and walking around the beach, people I wanted to avoid and directly head back to the hotel.
I retracted most of my fins and swam slowly underwater to avoid detection, but people were everywhere around, not allowing me to get past them to the main roads.
I was also butt naked which I didn't really mind anymore, but my figure stood out too much even compared the aliens around the beach. Also, a lot of people knew me from the events at the colosseum.
What the hell should I do now? Ooh! What is that over there?
----------------------------------------
*** Random Beachgoer POV ***
“N-No s-sir, I didn’t see h-him,” I said to the tall scary looking Noran in robes before me, trying my best to prevent my knees from pumping into each other.
“Are you sure?” asked the Noran slowly with a voice that nearly made me faint, while pointing with his blue eyes at the spinning hologram on his PDA. It was a figure of a bald human with long arms and legs, probably some lowly criminal escaping justice.
“I-I’m sure, m-mighty lord of the Noran” I confirmed to the blue man with a shaky voice.
The man just gave me a look of disgust before turning away to question someone else, and with a sigh of relief, I rode my hoverboard and went on to search for my girlfriend, my mood was ruined and I needed to freshen up with the beauty I met on my trip to Mars a few months ago,
“Sarah! Where are you babe?” I called for her while facing the sea, she always liked to dive for long periods of time.
“Saaaaarraa- Oh! There you are!” I found her walking on the beach, wearing the beautiful rainbow-colored robe I bought her yesterday.
I immediately hovered to her stunning curvy figure and landed right behind her.
“Hey babe, where you going’?” I asked her curiously, thinking that she was ignoring me.
“To the restroom honey. You know, women’s things” she croaked like she has a severely sore throat.
Did she eat something bad today? And what the hell is this Honey? some kind of new love word?
I approached my diva and grabbed her round butt, it felt like I’m holding a piece of rock in my palm.
why is she clenching that hard? But damn! That girl sure works out her body well. Is she wearing heels on the beach? She’s kinda… taller.
“Babe, don’t ignore me like that” I reached out to her and grabbed the towel covering her beautiful blue hair, I wanted to steal a kiss from the stunning beauty to fix my already ruined mood by that Noran.
“Mike? What are you doing?” A voice I recognized well came from right behind me.
“S-Sarah? W-What the-” I turned around to see who’s wearing my girlfriend's robe, I didn’t really mind grabbing another girl’s butt, two girlfriends are always better than one.
The moment I pulled the towel … My heart nearly stopped.
A bald head of a man with a grinning mouth full of sharp teeth that can cut you just be looking at it turned to me and winked at me with eyes that only could be found in nightmares.
I fell down on my behind and started to crawl back with all my might, trying to escape the grinning monster before me. Screams of my girlfriend filled the air, drawing attention to the scene.
Wait! This man looks exactly like the one from the hologram.
I turned my head back to the creature which in turn snorted and blew me a kiss before storming off, leaving a cloud of sand behind it.
What the hell was that? I kept staring at the back of the man in disbelief until a black blur crossed the corner of my eyes, it was the Noran in black.
He appeared before the creature, cutting off his escape route. I took the chance to run for my life and jumped on my hoverboard.
“Sarah! Let's go, babe, shit is about to happen here” I shouted over without looking at her, not noticing that she was paralyzed from fear until I reached a somehow safe distance.
I’m not going the fuck back there. Oh! Well, guess I have to find another girlfriend then. Wait! Why the hell am I hard down there?
----------------------------------------
*** Sarah’s POV ***
“Oh God, oh God, oh God, please I don't want to die here” I started to pray to anything that could hear my prayer to help me get out of this situation. The monster wearing my robe was going to fight the Noran, and when a Noran fights, especially the ones wearing black robes, destruction follows and everything around them rarely survive.
My legs refused to move, and that piece of shit Mike just ran away and left me for dead. I wish I had listened to my friends when they told me he was a good for nothing douchebag and only wanted my body.
The creature the Noran intercepted actually could speak, I perked up my ears out of curiosity, forgetting the fact that my feet could move again.
“So, Mekshima wants to finish things up so he sends another pawn, typical villain shit,” said the creature with a voice that surprisingly belonged to a human, a wide smile on his big mouth, as if he’s making fun of the Noran facing him.
“No need to call each other names Mr. Adam, you can call me Shipol. Also, allow me to wipe that smirk off your face”
So, his name is Adam, Interesting.
“I’m afraid I can’t let you do that Shipol. That smirk is what keeping me sane so far, but you can wipe my ass instea-”
*Eek*
I made a small shrill, but I instantly covered my mouth with both my hands, and thank gods they didn’t hear me.

The Noran waved his hand and a big rocky spike came out the ground, piercing that Adam in the chest and lifting him above ground. His big colored eyes shot wide open in disbelief.
The Noran approached the motionless Adam and crossed his arms before speaking.
“See? Just like that. Now your face looks much better, Walker” it was the Noran’s turn to smile, addressing the immobile man on the spike.
“H-How?” Adam wheezed, looking at the Noran directly in the eye and uttered some words I didn’t clearly understand, something about a Cordi being a bitch.
With a couple of bloody coughs, he gritted his sharp teeth and started pulling himself up from the spike, but the Noran did not allow him to even move with another three spikes penetrating his body from all directions.
“Before we end this … Walker, I’d like to ask you a personal question if you’d allow me. What happened to the Laireen that Lord Mekshima allowed to accompany you?” The Noran politely asked the dying man.
“Hehe, she’s dead” replied Adam, his grinning mouth pouring blood like a fountain.
“Is that so?” Calmly said the Noran, but I could’ve sworn I saw a vein pop on his blue forehead, moving his hand to put an end to Adam’s suffering.
Wow, the Noran Avenging his love from the evil Adam creature, so romant- WHAT THE FUCK!
Before the Noran could move his hand, a black shiny bracelet on Adam’s right hand shot forth and instantly assumed a straight form. It started floating in the air beside the impaled man, emitting weird humming sounds. It looked exactly just like one of the sex toys I have back home.
The Noran jumped back in confusion while the spikes impaling Adam vanished in a dust storm, making me close my eyes for protection, and when I opened them back, Adam was gone. The Noran was looking up, staring at a moving black point in the sky about two kilometers far.
I finally remembered that I nearly died out there. Cursing my stupidity, and scurried away stealthily before the Noran could see me.
----------------------------------------
*** Adam’s POV ***
I landed on the roof of one of the tall building and coughed the last bit of blood in my mouth. Looks like the Noran didn’t try to follow me, or maybe he couldn’t.
“Adam, what was that thing on your wrist, it’s synthetic but I can’t seem to connect to it”
“Adam!”
“Why are you ignoring me past the last thirteen minutes? I already closed your wounds, talking shouldn’t be painful for you anymore”
“Adam!”
“You lied to me Cordi” I finally decided to break my silence and confront the annoying AI.
“And when did I do that?” Asked the AI like a pestering wife.
“You told me back at the colosseum that this word has no magic, and now I nearly got killed by a fucking Earth bender” I spurted my annoyance to her, furrowing my nonexistent brows.
“Adam, that wasn’t magic, he was manipulating cosmic energy in the ground at a very high degree of control” explained the AI with what I considered nonsense, it was magic.
“Magic” I pouted.
“Cosmic energy” she corrected.
“Magic”
“Cosmic energy”
“Magic, fuck you,” I said with a chuckle, thinking about the possibilities. To me, it was clearly magic, so I continued my sentence with a question “Can this cosmic energy allow me to control elements like fire, ice, air like that Noran did?” I asked with anticipation like a little child, my anger towards her instantly vanished.
And to my joy, she said “Yes”,
“Now Adam, what is that thing on your wrist?” The clever AI came back to her original question about the Sentinel.
“It’s a ship Cordi, that thing feeds on that “Cosmic Energy” you spoke of and grows until it becomes a spaceship, at least that’s what the Guardian told me” I gave her an answer while increasing my speed, and thank God she didn’t elaborate on that matter, I didn’t have enough answers myself.
“How are you planning to cure the poison in Ryola’s body, Adam?” she asked yet another question that made me slow down a bit to think.
“I don’t know Cordi, feed her my blood or something?”
“That won’t work, your blood actually might kill her faster than the D0. Mahaar was a special case, The Grokati are extremely resistant to foreign bodies, his antibodies instantly destroyed everything in your blood, leaving only the Yoctomachines to heal him” the AI shoved another concern in my mind, completely destroying my already-flawed plan.
“I’ll worry about that when we reach the hotel” I lied to her. Worry was eating my head already, thinking about how I’m going to transfer the antidote to Ryola.
Thinking that I already wasted enough time, I sped up, rushing back to the hotel by jumping large distances over roofs and towers like a monkey doing parkour.
Finally, I reached the hotel and bolted to our suite and to the bathroom I detected companions inside. Ryola was dipped in ice just like I asked, while Mahaar flexing his muscles in front of the mirror, probably happy about the new arm.
With a swoosh, the door slid open and I rushed to the bathtub while greeting the startled Giant hastily on the way. I bent down and held the woman in my arms out of the bloody bathtub.
Oh God, what is this?
The black veins are now gone, but her whole body were black like she took a dip in a pool full of tar, the poison has spread way too much.
“Sorry Adam, I did just as you instructed, but the black patches kept appearing on her body, even in ice” Apologized the Grokati for something he didn’t have anything to do with, I nodded at him with a smile, acknowledging my most trusted friend.
“Cordi, some help please, what do I do?” I started to panic, Ryola’s heartbeat was nearly nonexistent.
“Sorry Adam, I don’t know” she after a few second with a small whisper of sadness.
“FUCK!” I howled in frustration, looking at the dying Laireen before me. I cursed at myself for being so stupid, all I did was for nothing. Her heartbeat was almost gone.
“Sorry I was late Ryola, please don't die, please!” I whispered with a hoarse voice to her, feeling my tear ducts starting to tingle, lines of the salty water dripping down my nose.
“She looks so peaceful, just like the sleeping princess of tribe Solfio-” Mahaar said while looking at her with a warm smile, but I instantly interrupted him, earning myself a pair of furrowed brows on his face.
It suddenly hit me like a meteor.
“THAT’S IT. MAHAAR, YOU’RE A FUCKING GENIUS” I suddenly shouted while looking back at the confused Grokati, he just gave me his usual toothy grin in a look that stated that I was clearly going mad.
Sleeping beauty, that’s it
“Adam, I know you might be sad for her LooooOOOooowaaat are you doing?”
Ignoring the bewildered giant behind me, I pressed my lips to hers and let my tongue do the work, scraping the inner parts of her mouth, it hurt so much, but as I expected, it worked.
With a fizzing sound and the most bitter taste I have ever experienced. the poisoned area shrunk back to her neck, making her face regain its original light pink color.
IT WORKS! happily howled in joy as I scanned the rest of her body to locate the exact area where the center of the spread was, and my face instantly turned into tomato juice.
I really hoped that wouldn’t happen while I am at it, but it did, Ryola opened her eyes just as I finished healing her mouth, making me retract my tongue in panic. I nearly dropped her from my arms on the floor.
“I, I-I-I-I I-I didn’t, I-I-I. Sorry I-I was j-just-” A stutter storm came right out of my mouth, words refusing to form into a comprehensible sentence.
“Adam, I’m detecting a substantial increase in your heart rate, calm down before your heart stops,” Cordi said something that didn’t even get processed in my brain, I was solely focused on the four crimson irises staring at me.
I was expecting a slap, some bad mouthing or the hissing voice of the weapon leaning on the wall beside me but all I got back is a … Smile. She actually smiled! A facial expression that I never expected to show up on her beautiful doll face.
“Thank you” a faint whisper came out of her red lips. The weapon nearby started making weird sounds, it was a pleasing humming sound instead of its usual creepy hissing, it was happy that it's owner in now feeling better.
“you're welcome, Ryola,” I said with a warm smile, trying to compose myself as much as I can because I was going to say something that would probably make her very uncomfortable.
I looked directly at the Crimson eyes that's trying hard to stay awake.
“I have located the source of the poison Ryola, it's in your womb. That means we have to go through the cervix to completely cut the source of the spread” I miraculously managed to say the sentence without stuttering, expecting some kind of annoyance coming from her in protest, but I was wrong gain, and with a delicate blush on her face, she nodded.
I thought to myself how much she suffered to this point, willing to do anything to get rid of that brutal poison. I swore to myself to make whoever poisoned her suffer even more than she did.
“I’ll be outside if you need anything my friend” Mahaar calmly said while turning towards the door, but I stopped him for a moment.
“Mahaar, thank you my friend” I thanked the giant who was partially involved in keeping the woman in my hands alive.
“No, Thank YOU, Adam” he smiled back at me while tapping his newly attached platinum arm before leaving the bathroom.
I laid Ryola down on the white bathroom floor looking her in the eye but she averted her gaze to the side, her face reddening by the second.
“Okay, here we go” I hesitantly said, getting ready for the pain me and her are going to share both physically and mentally while spreading her legs open.
----------------------------------------
After more than five hours of “tongue surgery”, I got out of the bathroom, holding a sleeping woman with fair light pink skin, not a single trace of the D0 could be seen in her body. I was happy for her and with myself, I did a pretty damn good job.
I carefully laid her on the bed, covered her up and went to my own bed.
“You did well, Adam” The voice of my giant friend came from behind me, I turned back to see his fist in the air, and after a quick pump he continued.
did his arms get even bigger?
“You Scared me for moment in there, I thought you were going to do Gauthoama with her”
“A what?” the word didn’t translate in my mind, but Cordi did translate it eventually, preventing an awkward situation on both sides.
“No, no no no no no. What would anyone do that to a dying woman, man, that’s fucked up” I raised both my palms in my defense in front of the grinning Mahaar, but he was clearly toying with me so I threw him a playful punch in his chest before we both bursted into laughter.
By now, I was barely able to keep my eyes open. So, I said goodbye to Mahaar and headed directly to my bed. I closed my eyes, inviting sleep to come over and stay for a while, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the Noran lord I fought today. Well, escaped would be a better term to describe it.
He was powerful, and without the Sentinel in my hand, I don’t know how I would have been able to get away from him and make it in time to save Ryola.
I wanted power, I needed power. The power that let me do what I do freely, power to take out whoever dares to harm me or my friends.
“yes, power” I unconsciously whispered as I opened the door to the expected visitor, delving into the dreamlands, or in that case, nightmarelands.
----------------------------------------
*** ??? ***
“Ma’am, for the last time, I need to see your graduation certificate in order to pass your papers. I’m really sorry, but these are the regulations” putting on my best smile and the best attitude I could, I repeated to the women sitting in front of my desk furrowing her eyebrows and spitting the piece of gum on my desk and taking out another from her designer purse.
“Listen you good for nothing nerd. These papers pass today, or I’ll swear to god, you won’t be coming back to this desk tomorrow” she spat back at me, threatening me that she’ll take away my already shitty job.
Well, she’s certainly not the first. Dozens of venomous people like her always show up with their threats and curses, but I couldn’t pass her incomplete papers no matter what she threatened me.
She sat cross-legged with a mini skirt that showed almost all of her thighs, a pair of double Dees popping up from her chest in a cleavage that you’d mistake for a pair of basketballs. She wore so much makeup it would put a clown to shame, but I could see that almost every male in the room slurping their drool from her slutty figure.
“I’m really sorry, but I won’t pass these papers until you bring the missing ones. Ma’am, this is the law” Still being as polite as I could, I stated to the furious woman.
“OK then, I will show you MY law” she screeched at me while taking out a phone that had a price tag of three months of my salary, ornamented with pink fuzzy stuff.
“Hey, Daddy. Yes, I’m there. No, this damn clerk here doesn’t want to pass my papers. Of course, daddy, everything is complete. I gathered everything like you told me yesterday. Yes … yes, daddy, I love you too, bye”
She finished her phone call, eyeing me with a smirk like she’s going to devour me any moment now.
After a few minutes, a silhouette of a fat man could be seen, running with all his might towards my desk. He was the man that made me want to commit genocide every day at work … My boss.
“What’s the problem here? Oh! miss Drawly, what a beautiful day it is to seeing you at our humble office today” Complimented the sweating pig.
“This useless employee of yours here refused to pass my papers, said it’s incomplete. And I’m pretty sure I have ALL the paper required” Said the woman staring daggers at me, not minding the pig’s eyeballs dropping in her chest.
The boss just took out the papers and started skimming through it, drops of sweat almost made holes in the white sheets.
“It seems that everything is fine here. Adam, pass here papers” Ordered the pig without even examining the papers properly.
“But sir, the gradu- “
*Slap*
“He just told you to pass the papers you good for nothing piece of shit, you have a death wish or something? JUST FINISH THE GODDAMN PAPERS SO I CAN GET OUT OF THIS FILTHY SHITHOLE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT” The woman screamed with an eye full of madness.
“M-Miss Drawly, p-please calm yourself, just wait a few moments and all your papers will be processed without a hitch, I’ll see to it personally. Now please sit down while I get you some fresh lemonade”
My boss started calming her down before turning his head to me “ADAM, GET YOUR ASS BACK ON YOUR CHAIR AND FINISH MISS DRAWLY’S PAPERS, NOW” shouted the pig before bouncing off to the canteen to fetch the cold beverage for the whore.
She sat down and shoved another piece of gum inside her mouth, looking at me with a smirk on her powder infested face.
I just stood there stupefied at what happened, my hand on my cheek where she slapped me, my eyes shifting fast between her and the running pig.
Like a robot, I sat down and started finishing her unfinished papers like a good dog. Not minding neither the colorless liquid dripping from my eyes nor the red ones on my cheek, a result from her long nails scraping my cheek.
I just finished my work and gave her the papers. She snatched it from my hands, spitting yet another chewed gum on my desk and giving me the winners smirk before turning away and leaving, not even minding the incoming pig holding the tray.
*huff* *huff*
The boss dropped the tray carelessly on my desk, spilling the lemonade all over the place. I didn’t even bother looking at it.
“Boy, do you know who on earth this woman is?” Asked the pig.
No one better than a street whore.
“No … sir” I replied, doing my best not to burst completely in tears.
“you know who Dr. Batra Ziso is?”
Yes, a big shot corrupted official, just like you.
“Yes, sir, the second assistant of the minister of economy” I recalled the man’s face, I saw him almost daily on TV, a typical shitty politician.
“Adam, you almost cost us both our jobs. If the situation were escalated more than that, we both would have been jobless by tomorrow.
Don’t give me that look, be thankful it went only with just a slap. I literally just saved your ass, she was his … let’s say… not so daughter” oinked the man before putting his hand on my shoulder.
“Now go wash your face and clean your desk, we still have a long day ahead of us” he finished his word and turned away, heading for his big ass office.
“You... k-know … what … sir?” I said calmly to the man’s back, severe headache started banging in my head.
“Yes Adam? You said something?” the pig turned his head, giving me half of his attention.
“I-I’m … Y-Y-ou ... P-P-Pi … T-That b-bitc … Ahhhhhh” Words tried to crawl out of my mouth to no avail, the pain was too much for me to handle.
“Adam, are you ok? Should we get you a doctor or something?”
“I-I’ll K-KILL … F-FUCKING … BIT-BITCH … P-P-P-PI-PIG”
“ADAM!”
I couldn’t say anything, I couldn’t quench my anger, the tumor was pressing hard, everything was fading to black.
Ooh, I wanted to kill that man, then kill him again and again and again. And that fucking woman, I wanted to cut her into little pieces, stab her a million times. Ooh! If I had the power, the power she had used against me. I would have finis-
“Is that so?”
I didn’t blackout from the tumor, but everything around me stopped. The pig giving me a look that is a mix between shock and disgust while shouting my name, tiny bits of spit coming from his mouth. The lemonade stopped spreading on my desk, and people all around looking at me like I was a dog that just got hit by a car. It was like someone pressed the pause button on some remote, only I could move around freely.
A pair of tiny hands embraced me from the top of my shoulders, breath that smells like strawberry chocolate blew against my hair and a voice I recognized very well found its way easily into my ears.
“Do you want to be like her?” it was the little girl, her small figure behind me, asking me an obvious question, or at least that’s what I thought.
“No” The simple answer left my mouth after a second.
“Good, remember that well Adam. Power is responsibility, if you misuse it, this happens” she stated while pointing her tiny fingers at the back of the woman across the hall.
I understood what she meant, it was simple. That woman just gave birth to an ever-growing hatred, misery, and despair. I didn't want anyone to think of me like I was thinking of that whore.
“On other hands, you used your power to save that Laireen, although I admit, your method was very … fascinating, what do you think the outcome would be?” The giggly sentence rang through my ears, making blood rush into my already bloody cheeks.
“I-I don’t know, probably something good” I hesitantly replied, still thinking about the question.
“we’ll see about that” she playfully said while giving me a kiss on my cheek, her embrace escaping my body, she was leaving.
“W-Wait! I still have much to ask” I turned my head back to where she is, but she wasn’t there.
Furrowing my brows, I was frustrated that she left, but her voice came again, echoing throughout the paused scene.
“You can always come visit me anytime, my dear Primus”
Even you? Why the fuck everybody keeps calling me that? I thought while the childish giggle was fading away, along with my vision.

*** Kaiserstein – Grand Pilton hotel– 01:25 AM ***
I slowly opened my eyes, feeling refreshed again after the few hours of sleep, shaking off the bad memory I relived in the form of a nightmare, nightmare the little girl saved me from.
Going out of the bed, I found both my companions where I left them. Mahaar was sleeping on a floating big brown couch swaying back and forth like a hammock, some wrestling-like sport on the holovision in front of him, while ryola was sleeping right where I left her, recovering from the near-death experience she had.
I didn’t want to disturb their peaceful sleep, so I decided to enjoy the view of the city from the balcony.
The night sky was sprinkled with stars, the artificial moons shone so brightly in different textures, drawing a surreal painting artists back in my time wouldn’t even try to imagine.
Neon lights decorated the bustling city below me, the flying cars still flowing as it was in the morning, certifying Kaiserstein as a city that never sleeps.
We were on the 133rd floor of a fairly tall building, surrounded by large open spaces that contained swimming pools, fountains, and sports zones. Admiring the architecture and design of everything, Cordi’s voice suddenly came out, warning me of the incoming danger.
“Adam, over there” I followed a small arrow she drew in my vision until I found what she warned me about a few kilometers away. Focusing my sight, my eyes widened. It was the Noran magician called Shipol, coming for a second round.
I scrambled back to where my companions are and woke Mahaar up, startling him in the process.
“W-What?” the confused Grokati said while raising his arms in a fighting stance, not caring about his drool filled face.
“Sorry friend, but we need to go, I’ll explain later” I hurriedly said while running to the bathroom to grab the wrapped weapon.
Carefully strapping the weapon to my back, I went back to the bed and wrapped Ryola in the colorful robe I stole on the beach and held her in a princess carry.
“Let’s go Mahaar” I told the Grokati while sprinting to the elevator room. He grabbed his jacket and joined my mad dash.
After a couple of minutes, we were running out from the back door of the hotel, heading in the opposite direction of Shipol toward the sports fields, but to my shock, he was there waiting for us.
“You know Mr. Adam, I am a very patient, gentle and understanding person, but what I cannot tolerate is when someone lies to me. Emotions are not something you can easily toy with” He calmly said while waving his hand up.
A chunk of rock the size of a large truck came out from the ground and floated above his head.
“I confess I was taken a bit upon witnessing the power of that filthy thing on your wrist, but let’s see how you will deal with this” The Noran spat out while throwing the huge rock in my direction with a force that was far above what a rock should be.
Shit, it’s too fast, I can’t dodge it while I’m carrying her like that.
I tried to move as fast as I can with the extra weight of Ryola and her weapon, but the rock was approaching too fast for me to evade. Gritting my teeth, I turned around, trying to cover Ryola with my body as much as I could and receive the impact with my back, hoping that Cordi could fix me after somehow.
*Swoosh*
A blindingly bright golden blur crossed my eyes for a split second, making me close them for a moment before turning around to see what was that.
Holy shit! What is that?
I turned around to see the back of my giant friend, holding the rock by its tip with one hand, like that rock was made out of paper.
“Mahaar, w-what is … did you awaken?” I couldn’t understand what was before me, his arms lost its metallic platinum color and assumed a bright golden one. golden Tribal-looking tattoos swirled all over his topless body, as if it were dancing around in joy. His body emitted a huge amount of power I didn’t even comprehend.
He turned his head to me, his round green eyes were now brimming with brilliant golden green hue that only belonged to a form of a higher being.
The Grokati just gave me a faint smile before turning his head back to the wide-eyed, Noran with a gaping mouth and spoke in his calm, intimidating voice that I heard back at the prison.
“You gave me what I couldn’t even dream of having. You gave me back my life, my honor, my oath, my power and my family. Now, allow me to pay back some of your kindness, my dearest friend”
“Let Gola be my witness. Tonight, the universe shall bow before the legacy … of the Octamanus”
