We entered the storm. It wasn't too big a deal. The storm was probably rotating at 1300km/h but it's not too much.If it was Earth then a lot of things would have happened. If I was still the same, I would have died. But no, that didn't happen.Because I am strong now. I covered the whole ship with two barriers to keep the storm out and canceled the storm by using the same speed in the opposite direction.Two opposite vectors cancel each other. So I had no need of erecting two barriers but I am a cautious man.Now I look at my crew. They were kind of anxious about the storm but they are fine now.From the inside, it looks beautiful. It's just a gas storm with a lot of sand particles but it looks mesmerizing.It all comes together somehow. It's chaotic but when you look at it, it kinda meshes together.Weirdly enough I kinda like its avant-garde charm. "It looks soothing."I let that slip out of my lips and everyone looked at me. Like I was some weird creature."What? Can't you see it

I said that I will take it slow but this is a bit too slow. Another day has passed and we have barely crossed the asteroid belt which covers Mars.But we are in no hurry. I am sitting on my captain's chair and my crew are with me. But everything is automatic and Aera is directly controlling. I am the generator. I am supplying the juice and Aera is using it to propel. Although both Aegis and Aera merged to become the ship, Aera is overseeing the controls.And so I was bored. I decided to tinker with my skills.Let's improve the singularity I got after absorbing a black hole. I haven't had many chances of using it but it should be strong. I created a portal connecting two points in space with it. So I should be able to create a room as well.I focus and dive into the singularity. If you want to fully utilize your skills then find out for yourself, what they can do.I dove in. It's dark. Endless darkness and stagnation. It sure lives up-to its name. The point of space where the mass

I am relaxing. Not in my home or my parents's home. I am relaxing in my spaceship. As I mentioned or I was informed that both Aera and Aegis will develop their own consciousness. So once they developed it, I introduced them to the team. And well, they could merge together to make a spaceship.This is the conversation I had with them at the time."Aera, is it really okay for you guys to merge together?""Well, it normally is. Although our creator did not make us to be more than just a gun and a staff but since you are our master, you can make us do anything." (Aera)"But a gun and a staff merging together to make a spaceship is weird!" "No. It's probably you who are weird. You have the power to do anything you imagine and desire. Since we are directly connected to you, we can borrow a bit of your power and do some things on our own." (Aera)"Yes. For the longest of times I have wanted to serve you directly, master. Now I can do that even if it's just transportation work." (Aegis)"I

(Duke Martin's POV)Every man is born with a mission. I believed so from the moment I was born. Because I saw a god. It was divine. As the god blessed me with an oracle, I understood the gravity of that."Be a great man and offer your all to me." The god ordered me. And from that very moment, I devoted myself. I must become a great man with accomplishments.I was born into a Ducal house and was given the name, Martin. I started with my studies. I became the best at studies and then sports. I mastered every type of art. Including the combat arts and weapon arts.I became the best. There was no one in the kingdom who could best me at those. But, I lacked one thing.A crucial thing. I lacked magic. I had mana but I couldn't control it to create super natural phenomenons but I had an alternative way.I always had a stand in. That stand in was almost identical to me but he wasn't me.And we both took our turns playing the role of Martin. He would use magic and I would demonstrate it as m

I go back to the house. I have exterminated our enemy. The threat looming over us is gone. But System said that there was a god with them. What happened to that god?(That god was a minor one. The current you can easily dispose of such pests.) "So that's how it was. Won't I get anything special for killing a god?" (No. You are already stronger than the target. You can only get special rewards when you defeat someone stronger than you.)"Such a stingy person."I voice my discontent. But anyway, we are free. How will I travel outside?(Wait until Aegis finishes her evolution. After she becomes an intelligent weapon, she could solve that problem in one go.)"That's good."So I can travel in space with Aegis. That's good. The sun is up. I think it's about 7 in the morning. I open the door and find Hazel waiting."Welcome back master." (Hazel)"I'm back. Hazel, how did you know that I was out?""When I woke up, I saw a big flash in the sky and sensed that master was outside. So I came d

I woke up. The same place where I fell asleep. The living room of my parents's house. I thought a lot of time had passed but it's just dawn.Just a few more minutes and it'll be daybreak. But I was in that dream for so long. Now then, I should go outside.I go outside and look up at the sky. The moon is still visible but it's fading. I can see a white line in the horizon.My eyesight is much better than before. So I can see the sea from my town. That's a pretty big deal.But I have even seen the Jupiter from moon which is millions of kilometers away. Seeing the sea which is barely 5000 kilometers away is no big deal.Now, what should I do? I can annihilate my enemy in a single shot. I don't even need them to be here. And I think they have stepped out of their warp.But as System said, I don't use my weapons often so let's bring them out."Aegis.." I call my staff. It originally was a staff which became a pendant around my neck and my gun which is merged with my hand.Aegis appeared, s

I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total

And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me. I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging. I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.“Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn’t tell them that I was coming, did you?” She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops fac

After he was switched with Akito, his life began as the fake Akito. I remember that Masato hid a lot of things from us when we first met.And Serus said that he doesn’t remember much from his childhood. His memories were jumbled. Let’s see how his childhood went.The first year went by without any major problems. The Sakai couple didn’t notice anything wrong with Serus. However once Serus turned two, they started noticing it.He looked different from the both of them. And the seed of suspicion was sown. They kept investigating on their own until they instinctively knew that Serus wasn’t their child.And they totally changed. Serus was three years old when they started neglecting him. They didn’t feed him for days. Didn’t provide him the basic things a child of his age needs.It was heartbreaking to watch. But watching is all I can do. Because these have already occurred.The look in their eyes as they watched Serus cry for help, it was animalistic. Like they were possessed by somethin

(Ariel POV)Where am I? I remember that Serus died and Seina brought his soul in a bottle. I just remember drinking his soul and everything is a blank. Did I pass out?But this doesn’t look like Seina’s house. It’s dim and cold. There are many machines around here and there’s a big glass pod in the middle of the room.Panicking won’t help much. Keeping your wits about is the right thing to do. He always used to say that he likes my wits. Even if he is gone, his soul is with me. Let’s just survey the area for now.I make my way to the glass pod. It’s lit and there’s someone inside. The cylindrical pod is full of some sort of liquid and there’s a baby inside. The baby has a cord connected to its navel like an umbilical cord. But I can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl. I look around for more information. The monitor is showing its vital signs. From what I can tell, it’s a completely healthy baby.But there’s something off. Why would a human baby be inside of a glass pod? Even if the baby

What I am currently doing is something many would dream of. I am sleeping on Anais’s lap. It’s an experience that may never come again. Which is why I am thoroughly savoring this moment. This sensation, the feeling, I am burning these in my mind.Well, it would have been even more enjoyable if I wasn’t seeing the souls of the dead.I can clearly see the souls of the dead. Worst of all, I recognize all of them. During my time as a cleaner, I had to take out a lot of trash. They really were trash. I didn’t hesitate to get rid of them and now, they are in my face.“Get up, you freak!” One of them grabs me by the collar and drags me down. What’s interesting is that I fell down. But I didn’t feel any pain. And Anais disappeared. So, it is a dream. But her lap felt so real! I get up and look at the ghost. He was a small time drug dealer whom I took out in Egypt. Monga was the contractor. He bore ill will towards Monga and his family. I took him and his team out.It wasn’t anything speci

Anais put his head down on the bed and stood up. He looks like he is in a lot of pain.“What’s happening to him?” (Anais)“I guess he just got his punishment. Hmm…from the looks of it, it’s a curse. Eastern curses are hard to understand. But I think he is being haunted by a lot of souls. I’d say staying away from him would be the wise choice.” (Shankar)Anais ponders for a moment.“Is he in any immediate danger?” (Anais)“No. The curse itself won’t kill him. However he can die if his mind gives up. We should observe him for now. Besides, someone who specializes in curses is coming here soon.” (Shankar)“Do you mean that Ratri girl?” (Anais)“Yeah. She comes from a priest family. This man sure is well connected.” (Shankar)Anais and Shankar look at the sleeping Serus. His face is slightly contorted due to the curse manifesting in his dreams.On the other hand, Seina is explaining things to Mona and others. “Serus is not only being targeted in this world, he is a major target for the ou

As I climb the stairs, it hits me. The pain is slowly spreading throughout my body. It didn’t hit me immediately but it’s there. So, I just have a delayed pain response. Still, that initial pain was only intense for a second. Now it’s a dull pain flowing through my body.I took the stairs to check my condition after that fall. Can I function normally or will I be unable to move afterwards? So far, the pain is the only thing that’s bothering me.Soon I reached the 20th floor and walk in the hallway. But the pain is clouding my consciousness. It’s intense.I was standing on my feet but I think I was unconscious. Because I have no idea how I entered the flat. When I came to, I was sitting on a sofa. I look around to check. Anais is sitting right next to me. She probably cried a bit. Her eyes are red and slightly swollen.“Anais, were you crying?”“I was. You made me cry, again.” (Anais)She seems upset. I guess it’s only normal.“Sorry. I just had to test it out.” “Who tests it out lik

I was waiting to meet my savior while Anais is sticking close to me. I mean, why is she so close to me?“Anais, can you explain how your grandfather started working with a Japanese terrorist?” “That’s simple. After Akito busted them, the leader ran away. He went to Europe to get more help. However no one helped him. Because the Akito they knew was you.” (Anais)“It really was just a name problem. I was known as Akito so no one wanted to help him. And, what happened?”“The word of that man reached my grandfather. We knew who the real Akito was and who you were. So we teamed up with him to catch you. It took us a while to convince him that there were two Akitos.” (Anais)“Then you came to India where I was and abducted me. Did you send a word of my abduction to Akito?” “Yes. I think everyone knows by this time that you have been abducted. And this is a very simple plan so they have probably guessed as well what was happening.” (Anais)That’s true. So they won’t be coming. That’s a rel
