Lidie's POV
The three girls were now running away at full speed, Galie didn't even make an effort to take the platform in her inventory as it was already destroyed by the strange undead creature that was after them, cut into pieces.
The creature was like a smoke skeletal wolf or something but Galie to her surprise found out that it shattered her kinetic shield with just a few blows by it's strange etherial claws in less than a minute, in reality it was a triple strike skill with its claws.
The Wufang Ice spirit, was but another undead creature, normaly they were around level 150 creatures but this one could be considered an elite monster.
Elite monsters were like minibosses, their levels weren't the basic of their monster type and they gave better loot, but they are too rare to find in a dungeon as each floor only had one.
The damaged levitating platform stood no chance against a rather high level monster and it was already badly damaged to begin with. It took the strange misty skeletal ghost wolf only a minute to turn it into scrap metal.
"Do you think that we can fight it?"
Galie asked, she knew that her shield was inefective but she had other abilities as well.
"Run for now and when you come up with an Idea, shit!"
Lidie shouted as she saw ice skeletons blocking their path.
bam!
And the ice skeletons were no more, Galie's metallic spheres were even stronger now, but would they work on that ghastly oponent.
Bang! Bang!
The skeletal wolf redirected the metallic spheres like a cat playing with a ball. Galie and the others were taken by surprise, the beast was simply too fast, if not for them having bought time with the platform and her shield, they would have probably already been dead.
Plop!
The skeletal beast had just charged at them but ended in the other side of one of Lidie's portals. She could probably buy them some time until the beast decides to fight more seriously.
The Wufang is a strange beast with a canine head, spikes coming from its feline body and a strange short tail. Its skeletal form was rather scary as its bones were trenbling ceaselessly, making the whole thing much more terrifying.
You probably won't understand the terror that beast offered, the strange bluish mist that surounded it did damage to anyone who touched it while each of its attacks did 20.000 HP worth of damage.
In reality they would have died by just one hit from its claws, their armors were only good for 150 level monsters, the reason behind it is that hitting level 200 monsters had at least one stat in the 1000stat zone, where they gained tons of health, stamina or magic.
Even if they fought, it was imposible for them to win, although they didn't know if it was level 200 at the moment but seeing Galie's shield crack again and again they didn't think otherwise.
"Oh, Galie!"
A voice came not from too far away as Darknym appeared, the three girls didn't care much before running behind him using him as a shield.
"How do you like my new pussycat"
Darknym said, showing off a small light red kitten.
"How cute!"
Mary said as she tried to touch it, but it begun hishing at her aggressively.
"Bad girl!"
Darknym said as he grabbed it by its fur and reprimented the kitten. If they didn't know better they could think that it understood his every word and was talking to him, he too was mumbling non stop with it as if talking.
"Dad is that a..."
Galie wanted to ask something but Darknym stopped her.
"Why don't you talk to her, Red is a rather interesting person"
Darknym said smiling.
'Are you a human?'
Galie asked through telepathy.
'Shut up bitch!...and get out of my head!'
Red replied furiously, making Galie somewhat mad.
"Is it a person?"
Lidie asked, she had just arrived to that conclusion.
"Just a stupid animal"
Galie said while glaring at the angry feline in front of her, they could see sparks between them as they had just declared war.
"Oh Red can you do something about this mutt, its rather irritating"
Darknym said as the skeletal beast was of course attacking his kinetic shield.
The kitten looked somewhat irritated as well and with a move of its paw a large explosion shot the monster away, it didn't die but it was wounded non the less and retreeted in a hurry.
Mary was shocked, only now did she understand that the kitten was a person in a kitten body, otherwise it was some mutated animal. You should know that animals can't gain psychic powers unless they undergo some pretty painful and inhumane experiments which had more chances of killing them than turning them into psychics. However even for an average person to do something like that was rather hard, meaning that the person inside the kitten was rather gifted.
The kitten looked quite happy at their shocked face, even Galie was shocked after all her psychic powers weren't as effective against the beast as little Red's.
"Well, what are you up to now?"
Darknym asked somewhat mockingly, in part he could just read their minds but he decided to ask them directly to irritate them a little farther.
"We were just...playing around"
Lidie said somewhat embarassed, after all they had just used him as a shield.
"Well Galie, other than to show you little Red, I wanted to inform you that I will be absent for a little while, around a year or so, I have left you three ways to contact with me, I hope that when I return everything will be in one piece"
Darknym said somewhat reluctant, he too had discovered that on earth he no longer could foresee the future, because of so many fortune tellers, oracles and other strange psychics. There were simply too many probable futures that could happen, even his action now created another million of unsure futures.
"So you are telling me that you won't be appearing for a year unless there's some emergency?"
Galie said and her eyes shone in anticipation, after all she would have another whole year to play the game and no Darknym to annoy her.
"Before I leave you must know that I have sealed off many of the rooms at home, it's not that I don't trust you by yourself, but with those two at home I don't trust you one bit you are too easily taken advantage of by Lidie and Guilgo"
Darknym said as he disappeared without a trace leaving the small kitten there with them.
"You forgot your cat!"
Lidie shouted but it was too late.
========================================================================================
Simon's POV
Simon was once more at the training facility, they now held him there because he simply lost too many days in Allastar, not that he cared he could leave whenever he wanted, but he was in no rush.
"Run faster!"
Rod shouted, she was ten times harder whenever she saw him in class, most of the trainees called him the cursed boy because every time he appeared the training regime became harder and the npc teachers became as if possessed by a ghost.
Rod came rarely but each time she came it became an endurance race, there were only two people who survived these strange training courses, one was Verina and the other was Philip, a rather well trained man, if you saw him outside you would easily take him for a pro wrestler as his muscles were well trained and mentained in perfect form. If by the end of training Verina was panting, he was ready for a second round of the same thing. Simon was of course long dead from exhaustion.
"How come that this month the training is full of...Trash!"
Rod shouted as she did something and they became lively once more, those that didn't want to run any more were whiped up on to their feet.
"Do you think that you came here to sleep!"
Rod shouted as she saw two who didn't stand even after one whip on their ass.
One of them of course was Simon, to whom she didn't even refill the stamina and the other was Amethyst, whom the others called Ameth or purple he for some reason didn't even try to pass the training, he simply slept in the classed and rested at the courses making the teachers angry on purpose, the worst thing about him however was his good looks and strange purple hair.
Zzzzzz!
Snored Simon as he didn't care anymore, he was already asleep, using his psychic power on his whole body, making himself as if freeze in time, he felt no pain whatsoever at the moment.
Ameth was laughing as he laid sideways looking at Rod who was Whipping the sleeping Simon. Ameth wasn't like Simon he had the VIP threatment, not even a single person dared to touch him, if he wanted to do something they let him do it if he didn't they wouldn't even try forcing him, he just had too great a background, some speculated that he was the son of some centurion or a diva but non knew whom he really was.
The training was over a little after Simon woke up, it was another rather productive day for him. After all training in the virtual world was useless, he knew full well that he could just copy&paste any stat he wanted from other people or monsters, the problem was that inside the game he was at a rather strange situation, unable to use his psychic abilities was killing him.
"You are called Simon right?"
Someone called him from behind, Simon didn't really want to turn but he recognised Ameth's voice, he was something of a celebrity after all, he was one of the five celebrities of the training facility, another one being him himself and the other three the three top trainees who will be leaving at the end of the month.
"Is it about Allastar again, I said that I'm in a dungeon at the moment and I can't even use my psychic abilities because of a bug in the system"
Simon said irritated, Ameth had bugged him a few times before, he wanted to invite him to his guild or something but Simon didn't want so he just explained his own circumstatnces to make him leave him alone.
"This time it's different, I want to come find you, a friend of mine can teleport to your location just by knowing your ID"
Ameth said, but Simon had no intention of giving his ID, after all he himself could do so many thing to someone else just by knowing their ID, but this was a chance he wouldn't lose.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"How about we exchange IDs, you go first"
Simon answered, he would first try how trustworthy Ameth was before going on with this after all, no one in the facility knew about his power.
"Sure, but how will you see if it's fake or not?"
Ameth asked, it wasn't really so hard to tell but Ameth didn't seem to know even that.
"It's simple I'll put a tracking code and then remove it, haven't they taught that at school yet?"
Simon said somewhat puzzled, in truth he didn't really pay attention in class all he did was gain ID codes from other absentminded students without them understanding it or even if they did, they wouldn't find him out. Of course his targets only included hot girls whom he would like to bed and the three best trainees, Ameth was not included.
"Did they teach such a thing in class, all they say these days are about stats and conditions of an Npc and how to program them to act like humans"
Ameth said, it was probably true but Simon didn't know if it was or not, after all he didn't pay any attantion at all.
"Do you even know what can happen to you if your ID is stolen or known by another person?"
Simon asked, after all Ameth looked even younger than himself and his strange feminine traits made him rather handsome to the female population.
"What?"
Ameth asked somewhat interested, Simon couldn't tell if he was lying or if he was sincerely interested.
"First of all there is the tracking code, that can give your location away, secondly there's the supervision code, where they can see your every action and third there's the Bug code, where your status and all information is sent to the one who has aquired your code"
Simon said, but Ameth's reaction was not what he expected, 'Boring' was written all over his face.
"If you accept to become my subordinate I can tell you another use of the ID code that only I can use"
Simon said regaining his full interest, but becoming his subordinate wasn't exactly what Ameth had in mind, in truth it was the way around that Ameth had in mind.
"If you can surprise me then I will follow you around and even call you Boss, is that enough"
Ameth said, after all he didn't really know what a subordinate had to do.
"Do you have any girl in class that you like?"
Simon asked whispering to his ear.
"Well Verina is rather cute"
Ameth said, but was interupted.
"No good she's a friend of mine so even if I did it you wouldn't believe me, how about your hacker friend"
Simon said somewhat excited after all he wanted to see how great a hacker Ameth's friend was.
"Alright but please don't tell me that you will do something to her, she turns ugly when others try to hack her"
Ameth said seamingly afraid.
"Don't mind just lead me to her, I can get her ID even without her telling it to me"
He said, he trully wanted to try out his psychic power versus a hacker. Hackers weren't all guardians, some of them were rebels but they were relatively safe because the system didn't kill them like it did the normal rebels, anyone who could hack into the system was forced into the guardians even if he didn't like it, but hackers were too rare and too few, making them sort of valuable, some centurions even used hackers under their control as money to exchange items and other precious things, after all credits to a guardian were almost useless and special items too few, in that regard Zephir had already some items of value which many centurions would wish to exchange, as a matter of fact the sealing colars were such items.
========================================================================================
Amethyst's POV
"Do you really think that she won't track you at all?"
Ameth asked, it was rather funny to hear it coming from the worst trainee he knew, in truth he wanted to befriend him because he found him funny.
At this moment he only thought one thing.
'Sister Emerald will so much kill him, at least it will be funny and I can always interupt to save him'
Ameth led Simon to a skyscraper, it was rather funny as there were lots of other buildings around it was like a small block taken off a city, there were even vehicles rushing through the roads and traffic lights.
"Is this her home?"
Simon asked visibly surprised.
"Yes, my friend lives up there on the top floor of that building"
Ameth said pointing at the top of the skyscraper.
"Couldn't we had teleported somewhere closer?"
Simon asked, they had already walked a few meters and Simon was exhausted, the heat and the exhaustion from the vehicles made it a nightmare for him who hadn't experienced something like that before.
"Is it your first time inhaling this poluted air?"
Ameth asked, after all in some games they had even replicated the polution of the environment up to some degree.
"First time but why on earth replicate something like that in your own home?"
Simon asked, at the moment he wanted to puke, from the smoke and a vile odour that was entlessly infiltrating his nostrils.
"It's not too far away"
Ameth said, but it was too late.
Puke!
'A puddle of puke on the road made for a good gift to whoever made this kind of sick home for themselves'
After all the future world was rather devoid of polution and everything worked with psychic energy and is controlled by a foolproof system.
"Hold with me its just around that corner"
Ameth said, they had walked around five minutes now and Simon's face looked pale, Ameth didn't know to laugh or to cry after all Simon was really too weak.
The last few steps Ameth had to drag Simon's body to the building, Simon felt like shit and just hoped to die, he probably had suffered from heatstroke as well because his body was as hot as a frying pan. He could probably fry an egg on his forehead right now.
"Lets see, the potion for hearstroke is...this!"
Ameth said as he poured a strange potion oh Simon's head.
Simon felt refreshed and the air condition made him feel a lot better.
"Are we there?"
Simon asked somewhat weakly.
"Almost there, it's on the top floor, but the elevator will only take as to the tenth from the top, it's for security measures, my friend has a lot of enemies after all"
Ameth said, but Simon wasn't too sure about it now, who on earth was that friend of his anyway.
"Now we have to climb ten floors of stairs, don't push yourself and take a few brakes"
Ameth said somewhat concerned.
'Fuck, not more walking'
Simon thougt and Ameth didn't even have to read his mind to know what he was thinking.
It took Simon half an hour to climb all the stairs, Ameth wasn't sure whether to laugth at him or to congratulate him for making it all the way to the top.
Ameth opened the door for him and Simon's face opened wide in surprise, beyond the door was simply paradise, a swiming pool, sunbeds, grass and trees some way ahead and there was even a water park visible.
The only problem in this paradise was the absence of hot women in bikini, he could only see a somewhat average loli girl with green hair and a completely lack of feminine charms, she looked like a naked brat wearing sunglasses.
"Why is she sleeping naked on the sunbed?"
Simon asked rather irritated.
"This is my friend, don't be deceived by her looks, she's a 60years old genious hacker, she loves to look younger than her sisters"
Ameth said as he waited for Simon to do his staff, after all he said that he could get her ID.
Suddenly Ameth felt strange, it was as if the heat of the sun couldn't reach him anymore, he didn't understand what was happening but Simon was probably doing something.
"Now acquiring your ID is done, I only need her ID now and this house is as good as mine"
Simon said, Ameth was caught by surprise, It wasn't hard for a hacker to gain your ID but there was no way for you not to understand that happening if you are a guardian, after all by tracking your ID someone can find your real body, something that Simon probably didn't know or didn't care about.
Ameth's question now was 'why did he need his ID' as he told him before the three things done with an ID code were rather basic concepts that every guardian could do with a little training, even without being a hacker.
"Simon what did you do and why do you need my ID code?"
Ameth asked, not knowing anything about Simon's psychic abilities.
"Be silent, I need a little more to acquire her ID"
Simon said, to Ameth of course it sounded like a farce, after all no one could get a hacker's ID so casualy without alerting him, even he had tried it some times and was beaten up in response for it.
"Ready!"
Simon shouted rather excited, Ameth could see sweat dripping on his head, in a way he was more sweaty now than even when he was climbing the stairs or walking the streets.
"What exactly will you be doing?"
Ameth asked him somewhat intrigued, after all Simon said that he could do something more with an ID code than any average guardian.
"Simon says kiss her pussy?"
Ameth didn't know why but he had a desire to do exactly as he was told, it wasn't because Simon said so, it was because he wanted to do it, it was a rather strange sensation.
"Simon says take her from her ass"
To simon's surprise Ameth didn't move, he was rather embarassed because he couldn't execute this action after all he was a she.
Ameth saw Emerald wake up, but for some reason she didn't even shout at her, she simply kissed her and begun taking her clothes off.
Simon was probably surprise as he saw that the boy with the feminine face was a girl after all, in a way he found Ameth somewhat sexy, although she had short purple hair, her body was priorly bandaged to look like a man's body and her face was somewhat cute as it had turned red from shame.
"Simon says you two are my bitches"
Was the last thing Ameth remembered, as her memory went blurry.
