I am spying on the aliens. I have also stolen a few of their stuff.

So it turns out that I can understand them if I wear the amulet.

I am hiding behind a tree. Hazel is with me.

It is quite an amateurish move but based on their behavior, I don't think they will notice.

I hear their conversation.

"It didn't go as we planned."

"Yes. We killed them as planned but we didn't get that."

"But it's too quick to give up."

"Right. Let's right a report and leave this wretched place."

"Yes. Nothing but death lingers. It's too eerie."

"Yes. Let's go inside."

They went inside of the ship.

I am stuck. They came here for a reason but it wasn't here.

I am very interested in them. But I have found some interesting stuff.

That gun and staff is still with me.

I should test them out. But not now.

I should probably wait. Let's stalk them.

I look at the ship.

It doesn't look like it's going to fly away. So I head back to my place.

It's already night after all. But how did this much time pass?

I didn't even

  • An unpleasant experience

    We are taking a breather at what might be the central of this area. A fountain is spewing water all the time. People are here, talking to each other or just walking. Some are praying to the fountain and tossing in coins.There are benches by the roadside. We sit on one such bench. It's morning. The sun isn't too hot yet. The sunshine feels good for that reason. Let's bask in the sunshine. The body needs its share of vitamin D as well.Wait, speaking of biology, how does Aegis's body work? I never asked her. This question suddenly arose."Aegis, give me your hand." She was a bit puzzled but she gave me her right hand. I hold her wrist and try to feel her pulse. It pulsating. Her veins are pulsating. I send some SPIRIT inside of her body to get an idea of what's inside. It's basically a human body. No abnormalities whatsoever. So I assume both Aegis and Aera are mimicking a human body. They can pass for a human. I can't see any abnormalities and things that might suggest otherwise.

  • A merchant’s instinct

    (Montana Pablo's POV)From the moment I was born, my fate had been sealed. I was to marry someone from an influential family and let him inherit our family business.I was raised as a perfect doll. Good at everything. My family was a family of wealthy merchants. My father followed suit and became a merchant as well. However, I was born.No woman in my family were made to be successors to the business. But my mother died while I was young. Everyone urged my father to remarry. But he didn't. He loved my mother with his everything. That's why, he would never remarry. Instead, he decided to raise me as the perfect woman.Then someone from an influential family will marry me and inherit our family business. I had no problems with that. Because I had someone I loved who falls into the same category.Alec Pablo was his name. I don't know when exactly I fell in love with him. I think it was during our academy days.We promised each other that we would get married. My father had no problems w

  • First shopping date with Aegis

    This isn't too early in the morning. Every shop is open for business. I see a row of shops. Different shops with different atmospheres. The right lane has a few large buildings. There are some multi storied buildings as well. I can read the signs. Some say mercantile houses and some are private shops.So business merchants have entire buildings dedicated for sales. I decided to go into the quieter one.Aegis is with me arm in arm. She isn't letting go of my right arm and is squeezing it tight enough for it to show symptoms of blood deficiency.My blood flow would have stopped if I hadn't reinforced my arm and increased my blood pressure. But I am not gonna tell her off. She is in a good mood. I think this is the happiest I have seen her so far. "Aegis, how about we go in that shop?" "Let's. It seems like they have some good things to sell." (Aegis)The shop sign says Pablo's General Store. A general store? They are owned by merchants anyway.Upon entering, I found one person. She i

  • Scouting the city

    Waking up in the morning, the first thing I did was drink some cold water. My throat was parched. Like it was made out of actual cardboard. I had to drink water. But I had no way of knowing where do they get their water from.I went to the kitchen to find a glass. After that, I created chilled water and poured it into the glass. Then I drank it. I had to drink more than a liter of cold water. My brain froze for a bit. It was refreshing. What's the time? I haven't seen a clock since coming here. "Aera, what is the time now?" (It's 8 in the morning. You are up early considering that you slept late at night.)Maybe I woke up because I was thirsty. Who knows? After washing the glass, I noticed. No one is home. I go to back to my royal throne or my bed which is actually the couch. I find a note on the table. "We are going out. Breakfast is on the table." It said that. And everyone had signed it. I see Hazel, Aura, Eden, Fay and Fiona's signature on it. They all went out. I go to the

  • Random talk

    Our work was done. Everything I planned on doing had been done. We called it a night and were about to go home. But a random feeling hit me. System is where she was. She’s sitting beside me on a tree trunk. Aera, Aegis, Doris and Amaryllis are standing in front of me. "How about we enjoy the scenery for a bit longer?" The environment isn't so creepy as before. It feels ethereal. Like it's not of this world. To my surprise none of them opposed to my idea. "Clive, what are you plotting?" (System)"Nothing. It feels like I have achieved a part of my goal already. So how about we take it easy for a while? I did want to just scout the enemy." "I know. But your mind is more complex than you think. You can't even fathom how twisted you have become." (System)Is that so? I just had some questions about System."I just had some honest questions for you. Will you answer them?" "Seeing how curious you seem to be, I should. Otherwise you would bug me later." (System)She nodded sideways and

  • My sanity was questioned

    I have shared my memories with them from the beginning. But they didn't peek into my mind. They could have. They chose to respect my privacy. Aera asked for my permission to take a peek into my memories. I granted permission to everyone.We are still here. In this kind of spooky forest. And they have already dived inside my memories. "So Clive, are you actually going to do it? I mean, how things are going, you can easily achieve your peace." (System)"I know. I am totally aware of that. But, I don't like it when everything goes too smoothly.""You are one fickle man. You preach about peace but don't like it when it's peaceful. You talk about a easy life but you yourself are making it harder. And most of all, you are heading full speed ahead to your own demise." (System)"What? Are you worried about me?""I am. Because, I have been watching over you since you were born. I don't want you to die so early." (System)"Don't worry. I am cutting everything off. I will subtly disappear from
