Chapter 8: The long road ahead

2020-08-21 00:06:46After escaping that dangerous situation, I got going and continued my journey. There were a few encounters along the way. I ran into a few zombies and little face-eating monsters as well. The zombies were slow enough that I could outpace them without having to use my misty steps and the face eating monsters were not strong enough to pierce through my magic armor. I also got ambushed by arrows but thankfully, something exploded in the area and I got away. My magic armor almost broke and I got wounded. Hopefully, I could pull out a scroll to cure light wounds on my backpack.
While walking, I thought to myself, "What should I focus on to induce my awakening?" I looked back on the past and thought of what made me the happiest. This was when I thought of this specific RPG. I remembered that the characters used runes to induce magic. I thought about the duality of the Rune of the Beginning. The white shield of the right side and the dark sword of the left side together form the rune of the Beginning.
I started to feel something in my back. I felt something move and thought that the egg must be hatching now. I laid it out in front of me and I took out a bunch of worms for it to eat once it hatched. I also know about kiss-feeding where you have to physically break down the food before feeding it, so I pulled out a mortar and pestle and started mashing some worms. I want me to be the first thing it sees so that my appearance would be imprinted and It would think of me as its parent, By doing this, I'm hoping that it could protect me in the future. Upon observing, I noticed that the egg changed patterns a couple of times. First, I saw a pattern of the heat of fire around the lower end of the egg. The next moment, the fire pattern disappears, and the green grass of spring comes around. Next, the purple lightning shows up. Then finally, before the beak peaked through the egg, blue snowflakes showed up on the top portion of the egg. I am now 90% sure this isn’t a phoenix and lo and behold what peaked through almost does not look like a bird for it does not have legs. Yes, it has wings, a beak, and a face, but it had no feet. Its color changes from time to time. First, it's blue, then purple, then green, and finally, red. It seems to change its color randomly. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds or a whole minute before its color changes again. As soon as it was fully out of its shell, the Thunderbird from before, which I thought was dead, came.
The Thunderbird looked a lot worse for wear. It ignored me and headed straight for the baby bird. I would not let this Thunderbird get the better of me anymore! I activated the bracelet and encased the baby bird in a grid of pure water so that it doesn’t get hurt. The Thunderbird then changed his sight from the baby bird to me. I felt scared but I realized that it won’t be that hard to kill it since it was severely injured by Anton earlier. Now, it is just lightning in the form of a bird. I was prepared for it to come near me. I summoned a giant cage made of solid metal with a lightning rod sticking on the inside. My mind wasn’t fast enough to think of what can be used to kill it because it is just made of pure lightning, but at least I trapped it. I activated the bracelet to perform permanency so that this magical cage I summoned remained in reality and not a temporary object.
The light in my bracelet dimmed. It seems that I can do magic of this level just once or twice before it stops being useful. The baby bird’s eyes lit up after I trapped the Thunderbird. The baby bird then touched the metal cage. The lightning immediately ran towards the baby bird as though looking for a meal. What happened next shocked me. When the baby bird opened its mouth, a transparent giant bird having the same features of the baby bird, formed in its background. The only difference is its head had grown a crown on top. The baby bird then looked at the Thunderbird and devoured it completely by sucking on it reminiscent of a pink puffball that’s loved by many people. After this, the baby bird’s color turned pure purple. Unlike the blue lightning of the Thunderbird, this purple power seems more unpredictable, in the sense that the shocks are going everywhere.
The baby bird looked at me and flew straight to my face. While maintaining eye contact, it asked me, telepathically, if I want to form a contract with it. I agreed not as a master and a subject, but as equals. I proposed that when one of us dies, we both die. I now know that this bird was born with the gift of logic and reasoning on the same level as an adult and that we could talk telepathically. We are currently in Taytay, Rizal. Specifically, we are near the KFC Tikling branch, a fast-food chain known for its buckets of fried chicken, plus wings & sides. That is an oddly fitting place for the egg to hatch in my opinion. As we continued walking towards my old high school, we had a conversation where I answered its questions.

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
