INTRO….

There have been so many stories, more like prophecies telling us about the end and destruction of the world but with science and technology going fast, no one believes in those stories anymore. As long as you are able to acquire and access these exotic techs then your safe and continued existence is sure. But the big question remains, will these techs stop the world from destruction or will they aid its destruction?

“Enrolling in this school is the worst mistake I made. Why did they keep the truth away from the poor?” Stan Gibson, a twenty year old solicited to himself. He is looking very depressed and that was because of the things that had happened earlier in the day. He is alone in a lounge, sitting on his bed.

It was late at night, yet he couldn’t sleep, the whole environment was very quiet. And he had been talking to himself since nightfall and this was some minutes past one according to the wall clock which hung in the room.

For the past two months he had been finding it very difficult to sleep at night and that was after hearing something he shouldn’t have heard. He hated himself after hearing that news and ever since he had been repeating the same question to himself which he could not answer on his own yet he lacked the courage to ask another, someone who definitely would have an answer to his question. The problem was not actually courage, rather it was the fact that even if he did ask his question to the right source, he still would not get an answer.

“But why? Why hide this from the poor?” he repeated the usual question. He had tried several times to take that question off his mind but that was not working at all, despite how hard he tried.

It is the second year since he joined the school with hopes and dreams of living a stress free life just like the rich of his time. His regrets were because he had used a very huge sum of money to enroll himself into the school only to find out recently that the school was not a reason and ticket to standing out in the society. Now he could not even work to earn himself a penny nor do he have a home to go back to if he leaves the school.

He had sold the house and the only thing his parents left for him before joining the ancestors just to get enough money for the school which he believed would change his life. The truth which he heard made him understand why he has never been accepted in the school by other students and even most of the teachers. He could also understand why he wasn’t meeting up with the standard of the school either and series of time he has been threatened to evict the school but through his plea he was allowed to complete the remaining two years which he had to spend in the school as they all knew that his staying would still be worthless.

For the last two months he had fought his instinct which was telling him to leave the school on his own and start a new life from scratch as that would still be where he would start from even after completing his stay in the school in the next two years. But each time he recalled that there was nowhere to return to, he would insist on staying as though there was any hope for him if he completed his stay in the school.

Due to the incident that happened earlier on, how he faced the most humiliation of his life and remembering the faces of the entire school laughing and making a show of him, he could not bear the shame of going out into their midst in the morning, so he gets up from his bed, picking up his backpack and then selects a few pairs of clothing from the wardrobe.

Afterwards he sneaks out of his room, leaving the entire surrounding of the school quietly so that no eye would see him leaving. Trying to avoid being seen was of no use as everyone in the school wanted him gone. Even the school guards did not restrict him from leaving, as they noticed he was the one, the exit gate was opened for him without any request. That is to tell how badly they wanted him out of their midst and the school.

*****

Coming beyond the walls of the school, he could barely recognize where he was. It seemed to him as though he was in a new world because it had taken an entirely different shape from the time when he enrolled in the school. Two years in a confined environment, is it enough to bring about so much change in the society? That was the question he asked himself. Things were worse than they were when he decided to make a name for himself by joining the school.

“Shit! the poor have to know. They deserve to know how the society operates. I won’t keep his secret to myself.” He muttered as he walked along the streets a few blocks from the school.

“Hey, what do you have in your bag?” a man in his early forties asked him.

Just a few personal belongings,” He answered as he looked the man in the face and could read danger from his appearance. Fear gripped him as he turned his neck only to see two other hefty men drawing close to him from different directions.

“Please…. Don’t hurt me.” He begged as one of them dragged his bag and started emptying it to the ground.

Then a picture of Stan with his parents fell out of the bag along with every other thing inside. So he rushed the picture but he wasn’t fast enough, it was picked first by one of the men who took a short look at it before handing it over to the man that had stopped him. “He is one of them.”

The one whom itr was handed over to also looked at the picture as Stan cried out. “Those are my parents? Please give it back.”

“You know what to do.” The man with the picture said to the other two who appeared to be under him.

Immediately, they began to beat him with no regard. They did not mind that he was still young and could die as a result of their beating. In fact it was obvious they wanted him dead because his crying and groaning was of no concern to them.

“That’s enough!” the same person that has given the other to beat him up repeated and those following his command obeyed.

At this point, Stan could barely move. He was bleeding on his head and arms. A few bones were also broken and he struggled to draw breath. He was left at the blink of death.

“He should pass a messenger to his folks.” The man added as he spat at him and then left with his boys dropping the picture on the ground.

Towards the early hours of the morning, Stan Gibson was still breathing as his eyes were fixed on the picture which he tried reaching out to but could not. It was five in the morning so he was now hoping for someone to pass by that route and help him. With his hopes high since he had refused to breathe his last, he heard.

[Host found]

He was glad as he heard that even though he did not know what it meant, he felt it was someone around that had said that so he got strange strength to turn but did not see anyone.

[Host: Stan Gibson. Age: twenty. Host is badly injured and needs help.]

“Yes, yes….. Help me, please.” Stan quickly replied, using his last strength to speak as he earnestly needs any help he can get.

    The news of the aliens evacuation was nothing to be hidden as all radio and television stations carried it across the globe. Nations began to rebuild their structures which were destroyed by the aliens, and the world kept mentioning one name, Stan Gibson, hero of the world, because he was at the fore front of every battle against the aliens. The leaders of China, America, Russia, United Kingdom and other nations which he fought besides, had no option than to sing his praise along with the praises of his team Ling Tingzhe, Nassor Dimka and Trisha Graham. The war against aliens made the whole world to realise that humans are the same irrespective of their race and status and could be able to achieve anything they set their minds towards.It was no longer a wonder to the world how a low class could lead the so called elites and military to victory over an enemy which was far stronger than them.Each continent honored the heroes, awarding medels of different kinds. Even though that was o

    It was very early the next morning and Ling was lying on the bed with Trisha, covered with a mattress as she rested her head on Trisha's arm.Trisha was in a confused mood, he did not know whether he was to be happy or he was to feel guilty because he had just slept with his father's wife on the night after their wedding.After some time, Ling noticed his quietness, and then she looked at his face as she felt that he was not in a delightful mood. But as she looked at him, he smiled with joy and it was not pretentious because he was really in a happy mood.Yet that smile did not stop her from asking. "You are so quiet. Is there anything bothering you?"He wanted to hide it but he could not since he had trained himself to be very honest and sincere and it would be very difficult for him to change in that aspect. "I feel guilty."Then she repositioned as she wanted to know why he was feeling that way. "Of what?"He was amazed that she was not feeling the same way as him, so he had to tel

    Leaving the room of King Nassor Dimka with the claim that she was going to her chamber, she came some blocks away from Nassor's room and then asked a guard who was on patrol. "Excuse me," she draws the attention of the guard.The guard was amazed to see that the new Queen was still wandering around the palace, so he said to her, "My lady, are you still looking for the chamber of his majesty?" He asked this question because it was known to him that the King had called her to his room, so he thought she should have been with the King. "Ermm," she stammered. She had not known her way around more to even know where her room was and it would be embarrassing to ask the soldier to direct her to her room because she knew according to tradition that she was supposed to spend the night with his new husband. So she thought of the best thing to cover up her wandering around the palace. "Actually, I'm coming from the King's chamber, I know it's that direction." She pointed the right direction to

    At the end of the wedding all who had come to grace the occasion were returning to their various homes and kingdom. Ling got the chance to speak to her father before he left since she might not be seeing him again for a long while or even forever.As she hugs King Stan goodbye, tears seem to drop from her eyes causing Stan to be baffled because he had seen smiles of joy on that face just some while ago. So he asked, "What is the matter my dear?"From the question she then knew that she had let herself too lose, so she hastily wiped the tears that dropped from her eyes, wearing a happy face again, but it was obvious this time that her happiness was not genuine like what it was earlier. "It's nothing father. Just tears of joy." Even though he knew that she lied, he did not care, as long as his kingdom was free from the attack and domination of the dragon king, he was satisfied. "I am happy to see that you are happy. Trust me, king Nassor will take good care of you. There is nothing to

    It's been twenty years since the death of the Queen of Ocalis, leaving her husband, the dragon King Nassor Dimka to be very brutal and dangerous, as all he sought was to rule the entire world, so taking over Kingdoms and dukedoms had been the only thing that gives joy and rest to his soul and the dragon in him.This continued until he came to Kingdom of Erellan, ruled by King Stan Gibson to do likewise as he had done to many other Kingdoms before now, but there he saw a young beautiful damsel, Ling, who remained him of his late wife and mate, Patricia, so he found it difficult to take his eye off her until she had left their presence after delivering a message to her King. King Stan knew that Nassor had come to take over his Kingdom either by his succumbing or by force which would be his death, but from the way he saw the dragon King stare at Ling still she left, he had an idea that came into his mind, so he said it out immediately. "I see you have interest in my daughter and I could

    In the evening hours of that day, the clouds filled up and then began a very heavy storm with lightning striking down to the surface of the earth, and the storm destroyed a lot of things in the entire kingdom; such as the crops of farmers and some buildings which were not rooted strong in the ground. *******But Foster reversed the question, "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Foster, and these are my sons Fanser and Einar." He pointed at them respectively. "Why don't you tell us your name, so we would know what to address you?""My name is Claus, I am from Alaska and I believe this is just another rural town in the state." The man said."Well, Claus, as you have said, this is a town but there are no such things as rural towns or whatever the second or third type of town you may know. This is the kingdom of Pell and the place you mentioned, that is, Alaska, we do not know any place or kingdom that goes by that name in the world." Foster said."Oh no! You haven't heard of the

    Early the next day, by eight o'clock in the morning, Miss Linzi, Kellie, Andy and Eddy came down from a cab that just dropped off at the front of the Alaska Regional hospital. Then Miss Linzi walked in with the three kids, and as they got to the reception, she said to nurse there. "Please excuse me." "Morning ma'am, how may I help you?" The nurse asked Linzi. "I received a call from the hospital last night, and the person that spoke with me told me of a young man who was brought here from an accident scene. We are here to see him." Linzi said. "Slow down, could you be more specific, as in what is the name of the person you are here to see?" The nurse asked. "His name is Claus." Linzi answered. "Are you his wife, ma'am?" The nurse asked. "No I am not, but this is his daughter." Linzi said as pointed at Kellie. "Please can you direct us to his room?" "Please ma'am, we would like to know you are related to Mr Claus." The nurse said. But Kellie said on her behalf, before she coul

    Hours later, Miss Linzi was seen as a cab dropped her and the children at their compound, and after she had paid the bills to the driver, she led them to her own apartment to rest."Miss Linzi, where did you say our mother went to? And why hasn't she returned from work up till this time?" Andy asked after they must have spent a couple hours and the day was about to pass by."Oh sweetie, I am sorry that your mother did not tell me the reason why she had to stay out late today, but I believe that there is a good reason and she will soon be back." Linzi answered, as she set the dining table. Then she said to the three of them, "Come on, why not have some dinner while we wait for your parents to return from work."So they left the sitting room and came to dinner, but just before they began to eat, Kellie said, "Miss Linzi,""Yes Kellie." She replied as focused on what Kellie wanted to say."Have my dad called you again?" Kellie asked."No he hasn't." Linzi answered."Can you please give h

    After that he picked up his phone and then read the message which came earlier, then he looked at his wristwatch and looked at the phone to see the time when it came.Then he exclaimed. "Oh my gosh! I am running out of time." As he started the car again and zoomed off.Soon he arrives at the compound of Mr Jaxon, his boss who had been disturbing his phone since."Finally you are here." Jaxon said.And to Claus' greatest surprise he was not as angry as he spoke through the phone, but he still had to apologize. "Good morning sir, I'm sorry I could not make it as early as I suppose.""You came at the right time, I just finished preparing." Jaxon replied.Then Claus became surprised because he had been hurrying him to come down to his place.Noticing the amazing countenance of Claus, Jaxon said. "I know you are surprised as to why I was disturbing your phone earlier?""Of course, and I would have been at the station by now if I had taken your instructions." Claus said."Oh! I knew you wou
