LOGINAfter sending the text, I must scrounge up whatever I can just to survive and go to Angono. Right now, all I have is my enchanted shirt with magic armor, pants that can summon asmall shield that lasts for 1 minute, shoes enchanted with misty steps that can help me do short-distance teleportation, and finally, a backpack that can provide me items and supplies that aren’t too valuable. Since the hospital is cleared of monsters, I decided to take my time and looked around.
I found shiny red and blue liquid bottles that could be health and mana potions and I found three for each. A sparkling bracelet nearby caught my eye. I saw that it is a property of the nearby business firm where Anne works. This thing fizzes out may not be very reliable, but it may save me when it comes out in a pinch.
I wonder if it’s the idea of wanting protection like what Anton said that can help me awaken my powers or does it only happen to a select few. I guess I can investigate more fully If I get to huge organizations. If they were this prepared for the apocalypse. They must have kept knowledge about this. I better start walking since misty steps only has ten charges an hour with a range of about 60 steps per teleport. This means that I'm limited to only 600 steps an hour.
After leaving the hospital, I once again took the highway to go to my old high school. Google maps data shows that it would take me around 3 hours of walking without considering the possible encounters. Before reaching IPI, a popular unloading and loading station for vehicles, I found a large ash fragment. Upon touching it, the ash fragment broke apart, revealing a shiny white egg with red marks all around it. The first thing that came into my mind was that this is a phoenix egg. “From the ashes, the phoenix rises again.” But it’s not supposed to be an egg. It's supposed to be a full-grown phoenix. Anyway, birds do get imprinted on the first thing they see.
Deciding whether I should take the egg or not is a tough choice. I might get myself a pet that could protect me or a monster that would kill me. Right now, this is a risk I’m willing to take since I don’t have any way to survive. So I ended up deciding that I will take the egg.
Upon continuing my journey, I have encountered a few monsters. I stabbed one goblin in the brain with an iron rod that I found lying on the ground while dodging his attacks with my misty steps. These action-packed fights wore me out since it was my first time killing something bigger than my hand and something that looks humanoid at that. Needless to say, I am quite bothered about what I did.
After walking some more, I reached Jenny’s Avenue. I saw three people walking. Two of them are men. One is extremely buffed like a bodybuilder and the other one is quite slim, but he still looks like a bodybuilder who is just starting to form muscles. The last one is a woman with a single ponytail. They are all wearing the same ID bearing the name of the nearby BPO company I walked past. I decided to approach them but as soon as I did, my vision turned dark.
I am alone, hiding behind some trees near the dirt road; which can go up to a shining Church, or down to a stone archway that leads to nowhere. From my experiences with fiction it isn’t all crazy to think that the path that goes down in the middle of nowhere is the “main exit” that the guards were talking about, so I decided to go with the path that goes upward. Good thing, I still have with me the pen and paper that guided us to the portal which would help point to the location of Stephanie but would also hinder me if I pass through anyone and get found out. I must be smart in using this guide.I headed up to the trees nearest to the church building. I saw that the main entrance of the church building is being guarded
Son said, “That’s why I couldn’t track Stephanie's location. She isn’t in our world right now, but she also has not passed through the borders of the kingdom. She is inside this portal which leads to another dimension." Son paused for a bit to have a closer look at the portal and continued, "From its fluctuations, I think it’s an inferior dimension." Son explained that an inferior dimension is sort of a pocket space, similar to a demiplane. I then thought of its resemblance to the portal Anton made when we came across the vampire; only in this case, pocket spaces are much smaller, covering the size of a building or two at most. Before heading inside, we all prepared first. We asked Julian to guard the outer perimeter so that no one can interfere with us on the inside. Son handed me a piece of candy to act as
Topher asked the kids, "Where is Stephanie? I thought you were all going to get here together. She said that she informed you all about her surgery being a success and wanted to party with all of you." The kids said that the last time they saw her was yesterday at Zack’s Beach House, Zack is the son of Dianne. Trevor, the son of Julian, replied with "We do know about her successful surgery. We partied yesterday at the beach house, Tiffany showed her a few moves, but then she said that she was tired and wanted to catch some sleep at home and left early." Two people interjected the words of Trevor, a teenage boy with a buff physique and a teenage girl with short hair who is also pretty fit. "Stephanie called last night and said that she came here, to her promised home and wanted to pull a prank on Paul, her uncle who stole this house from her," said the girl. "And then, she said that there was an accident. She sai
After assimilating the book compiled on the Heavenly Way of Cooking Rank-1, I learned that cooking uses a lot of science. Perfect actions are needed and the fire or whatever materials you use also have to be perfect so that the full flavor of the dish comes out. Since the fire is too big for me to control, I decided to ask Max for his help. I asked him to control the way the fire spreads and how it would hit the pig. I am then in charge of maintaining a rotational motion of the pig that would complement the fire being spread on the open roast by Max. After four hours of focus on following the recipe and incorporating with it the Heavenly Way of Cooking, the result was delectable even just by sight and smell. The Lechon had perfectly golden-brown skin with no cracks, boils, or blemishes, and because the skin had no cracks there is no oozing of its own juices but it’s all flowing in the meat inside. I believe that
When I woke up, it was almost noon. The past few days that I experienced were undoubtedly exhausting but now, I feel completely refreshed; absolutely better than what I felt for the past few days, or should I say years. I guess one reason for this is because I lost weight and became pretty healthy since I started cultivating my body with the use of the Heavenly Body Manual. There’s still some time before our party starts later at sunset. When I opened my window, I saw my backyard already being prepared by folks I don’t know. Max told me that earlier, Joyce came and ordered the people setting up for the party that there is no need to wake me up. The house AI pretty much obeyed her orders since she still also has ownership of the house. Yesterday, Joyce told me I could customize the
I suddenly heard a thud from somewhere in my mansion. It is currently the middle of the night. Since I still don’t have a new phone and there are no clocks in my room, I couldn’t tell the exact time. When I looked up at the sky, I saw two moons and the stars were bright. I guess in this new world, light pollution isn’t a thing. One moon looks like the regular one while the other looks like a red version of it, kind of like the phenomenon of the blood moon. That doesn’t matter right now. I have to find out who the intruder is. I summoned Max through our telepathic link, but he seems to be asleep. I can wake him up by jolting his soul, but I don't think there is a need for that since I'm not really sure if there is a danger present. If need be, I can just wake him up. We’ve both been through a lot today and I want Max to just rest. I went ahead and checked out the noise. Even though I don&r
