Scepticus was sitting upstairs in his room fiddling with his stuff. He then took a pencil and began drawing something. After a few minutes he stopped drawing and jumped onto his bed. “It’s time to get some shut-eye,” he said before closing the cloth which was covering his room window. For some odd reason, Scepticus couldn’t sleep. He felt like he was being watched by somebody. He just couldn’t quite place his finger on it. Before he knew it was day. He hadn’t slept one bit. But he was fine, since his body was durable enough for the time being. But if he were to not sleep for another day he would be tired. Scepticus grabbed his backpack before putting it over his shoulders. He then began walking to school for the first time in a while.
As soon as Scepticus had gone in he began to look for that Celaine girl. He eventually found her. She was in the girl’s bathroom washing her face. Scepticus then enters the bathroom. Celaine then wails, “WAIT. WHY ARE YOU IN THE GIRL’S BATHROOM?”. “What?” Scepticus replied. “Get out of the bathroom before another girl sees you hear and complains,” Celaine said. “First of all, what's a bathroom?” Scepticus asked. “Hey. Don’t be like that and go. Now before someone enters the bat-” she said whilst hearing girls chatter as they enter the bathroom. Celaine quickly pushed Scepticus into a stall before asking him to lock the door. Celaine pushed Scepticus at a speed at which he couldn't react. Scepticus just obliged. “What are these gonna be able to do to me though?” he thought to himself.
Scepticus then heard a girl start speaking, “Hey Celaine. Who gave you permission to enter the bathroom?”. “Umm, class hasn’t even started yet,” Celaine replied. “IF YOU EVER GO TO THE BATHROOM WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION EVER AGAIN WE’LL MURDER YOU,” she said. Scepticus punched the stall door causing it to hit the girl sending her flying into a mirror, the glass piercing her face. “AHH!! WHO? WHO WOULD DARE DO THIS TO ME?” she said. Scepticus then said “Have you heard of Sakon?” he said. “Sakon, I’m gonna kill yo-”. “Sakon deez nuts,” Scepticus said before punching her through four classrooms. The other girl looked at Scepticus with a terrified expression on her face. Scepticus grabbed her by the neck, punched her three times in the stomach, slammed her into the floor, grabbed her and threw her into the air before kicking her outside the compound of the school.
Celaine looked at Scepticus with shock. “Why did you do that? You do realise that they are from famous famili-” she said. “Well, I needed you to be in pristine condition so that I could talk with my subordinate,” Scepticus cut her off. “And here I thought he did it to save me. Not the person inside of me,” she muttered under her breath. “Can you take me to the place,” he said. “Sure can do. But first tell me where you’ve been the past few days. You do realise there was school right?”. “Sure,” Scepticus replied. Celaine touched Scepticus’ forehead. Scepticus vision began to get distorted before undistorting again. He was back in the barren wasteland. “Hey Asmodeus. Where are you? Now is not the time to play hide and seek”. Asmodeus appeared in a puff of black smoke.

“What is it, master?” Asmodeus asked. “I have some things I need to talk to you about,” Scepticus said. Scepticus began to talk about that adventure which he went on and everything that happened. Eventually he had finished talking. “You saw Corra though?” Asmodeus asked. “Yeah, that was definitely her. Although we appeared to be fighting in our consciousness. So I didn’t sustain any injuries. At least I don’t think so-” Scepticus said as he began to stop standing. “MASTER! MASTER ARE YOU OKAY?” Asmodeus asked. Scepticus didn’t wake up for 2 hours in the dimension. Eventually Scepticus' eyes opened. “What happened?” he asked Asmodeus. “You woke up. At last. I think you drained too much of your mental energy in that battle with Corra. On top of that you didn’t sleep at all.
If you ever have a battle like that again you need to sleep. Or you will be exhausted for the next week or so,” said Asmodeus. “The thing is I couldn’t sleep. It was as if someone was watching me,” Scepticus said. “Well be careful then. I’ll be sending you out now,” Asmodeus said, “Make sure to get rest,”. “Alright will do,” Scepticus said. Scepticus’ vision began to distort again before undistorting. “Hey Celaine, how much time has passed?” Scepticus asked. “Just a few minutes. Why?”. “Alright. We should get going. Class is going to start,”. The rest of the day goes on uneventfully. That is until Scepticus is about to go back home. He keeps feeling that eerie aura which was if someone was watching him.
Suddenly a man appeared in front of him attempting to slit his neck. Scepticus just about manages to dodge before the man ran away and disappeared in an alleyway. “What the hell?” he said. “You’re not half-bad for a kid," the man appeared behind Scepticus, the knife being held at his throat. “WHAT?” Scepticus said. “How about this? I’ll make you an offer. If you accept it you’ll live. If not you’ll die,” the man said. At that moment Scepticus gets teleported into somewhere dark. He couldn’t really see anything so he activated Aura Detection. He saw the man was above him. “So what’s your answer gonna be?”. “Screw you, asshole,” he said as he jumped towards the aura. He grabbed what he assumed to be the man’s hand and slammed him down before moving over on top of him and punching his face over and over.
Suddenly the man disappeared once again. He disappeared and something appeared to be strangling Scepticus. No matter what Scepticus did he couldn’t find the source of the choking. When suddenly he grabbed onto something and pulled it out from within his neck. “WHAT?” the man said. “Same reaction here buddy,” Scepticus said before charging towards the man. He materialised a great sword in his hand. First he kicked, then he dashed forward, slammed the man downwards whilst attempting to cut him in half by engraving his sword on the floor. He then grabbed his sword after it supposedly cut the man in half and slammed it down on the ground. Scepticus smelt iron. “Well he’s probably dead but where the hell am I now?”.
