Chapter 7: Danger at Jenny’s

Upon waking up, I saw and felt that I was being sat on by the muscular man. They were going through my backpack, rummaging through the items, looking for useful things. I then asked, “What are you doing? Why are you doing this?" The woman laughed and said “This is a whole new world. We all need to survive somehow and the safest option is to only trust the people you knew before everything changed. You should know that trusting people you just met is as good as putting your life at risk.” For a second, what the woman said actually made sense. But then I thought about the future. What happens in the future? I believe that we should all help each other not just so we can survive but so we can truly live. I then asked them, “So, you’ll never trust anybody else again?” The woman then replied, “Who cares about later? I need to survive now. I’ll think of the future when I get there." 

While she was talking, I activated my misty steps shoes thrice to scare them off. They were taken by surprise and all they managed to do was just stare at me. I then activated my magic armor to protect myself. Once it got activated, it turned into a medieval plate armor made of what looked like a bluish-green lantern construct. I guess this was how Anton thought of what magic armor should look like. I started talking again and said, “While surviving, for now, is good, we have to think further down the road. Our problem is with these monsters. I believe–” I got cut off by the slim guy with a sword he materialized from his hand. It looked like a katana. He fixed his glasses while he clicked his tongue. Luckily, my armor was activated so I was protected from his attack. The Beefy guy then bulked up some more with his eyes reddening. As he walked, the road cracked. He landed a punch at me. The woman then said with her eyes glowing red, “You should have just stood down and let us take your belongings.” When her eyes glowed, the eyes of her companions glowed as well. I think their minds might be linked together by her power.

I took out at the bracelet I got from the hospital. I plan on using it to blind the woman. To do this, I have to make her look at me directly. I teleported on top of a car then prepared to summon a sun-like orb. Just as predicted, she looked at my direction and she got blinded by the sun-like orb. “AGGHHH!" She screamed and both her companions touched their heads and looked around in confusion. I realized by then that her power must have been controlling the minds of people and not just linking people’s minds. 

I used my remaining teleportation power to run away while shouting, “That woman controlled your mind!” That should stop her from chasing after me. I decided to make a stop at Life Homes condominium. Before I go on with my journey, I have to wait first for my teleportation power and my magic armor to recharge. I checked on my backpack and thankfully, it looked fine despite being rummaged earlier. I wonder how many more items I can pull off from it before it empties. I checked on the phoenix egg and it also seemed fine. It is a good thing that Anton provided me with the protection I needed to survive.

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 25: The Enemy of my Enemy

    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

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 24: Preparing to Jump

    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

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 23: Meeting the Pamangkins

    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

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 22: Party Time!

    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

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 21: Exploring the township

    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

  • Welcome to the New world   Chapter 20: Accepting a Trial Disciple

    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
