Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Kai's Ability
A strange feeling welled up in Flanders’ heart.
However, he did not react. He just stood there quietly.
He could sense that the person outside seemed to have released some sort of probing ability.
However, even after the ability came into contact with Flander’s, nothing happened.
It felt as if a layer of membrane had passed through Flanders’s body.
He waited to see the other party’s reaction.
If the other party decided to launch an attack, Flanders was confident that he would be able to react in time.
He wanted to see just how strong the effect of his level 3 Disguise was.
In the next moment, the rusty iron door creaked open.
Two figures appeared by the door.

“Damn it, he seems to have run away. I don’t detect anything strange,” a bearded man with a cigarette in his mouth said.
The person beside him was fiddling with a machine in his hand.
“There’s no reaction from the radar either. He probably ran away.”
A disappointed and anxious expression appeared on their faces.
Suddenly, the bearded man noticed something.
“Lucas, look over there.”
The direction the bearded man was looking at was somewhere close to Flanders’s side.
Flanders stood quietly in the same spot. He did not react.
He looked just like an ordinary scarecrow.

At Kai’s hint, Lucas turned to look at Flanders. Then, he had an extremely displeased expression.
“Is that guy toying with us?”
As he spoke, he walked towards Flanders slowly. Blue veins could be seen bulging on his forehead. He looked extremely furious.
Looking at the long sword attached to Lucas’s waist, Flanders still chose to wait quietly to see what would happen.

Looking at his equipment, it seemed like this guy would use physical attacks.
Since that was the case, Flanders was confident that he could use Fear on this person before his attack could harm him.
However, he did not attack yet as the opponent’s reaction seemed a little strange.
It was not the nervousness of discovering the enemy.
Instead, it was obvious rage.

It was so obvious that it was almost overwhelming.
At this moment, Lucas was already standing in front of Flanders.
Flanders was prepared to release his Fear.
In the next second, while he was staring at Flanders, Lucas said fiercely, “This guy… He actually placed a substitute here.
“He’s definitely trying to provoke us!
“A mere strange guy… How dare he do this!”
The bearded man by the door had already walked over by then, holding a cigarette between his fingers and exhaling puffs of smoke.
“Calm down, Lucas.
“He did this to provoke you.

“Didn’t you notice that something was wrong?”
Lucas was slightly stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?”
Kai took another puff of his cigarette. He looked at Flanders calmly and said, “I suspect that this strange person might have higher intelligence.
“Moreover, the scarecrow might not even be his true form.”
“Intelligence? True form?” Lucas could no longer keep up with Kai’s train of thought. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Kai threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and said slowly, “Lucas, remember. Never let common sense restrict your ability to think.
“Didn’t you notice?
“The man and woman in the video weren’t killed by that strange creature at all.
“Otherwise, the video wouldn’t have been posted online.

“Strange creatures are like wild beasts, only acting on instinct and intuition.
“However, this strange creature actually let the two humans go.
“This obviously isn’t normal.
“Of course, there’s another possibility that the two humans have already been killed, and the video was released by this strange creature.
“Although I don’t know what his purpose is yet, it doesn’t matter.
“No matter what the possibility is, it points to a result.
“That is, this strange creature is incredibly smart.”
After listening to Kai’s analysis, Lucas was silent for a while. Moments later, he sighed.
“A strange creature that actually has intelligence. This…is too unbelievable.”

Kai smiled slightly and said, sounding like a teacher, “Any individual with self-awareness almost always has intelligence. However, there are different levels of intelligence.
“Therefore, it’s not a good habit to have the preconceived notion that a strange creature’s a fool.”
Lucas nodded as if he had understood something. Then, he asked, “Then, what did you mean by true form?”
Lucas was very curious about this question.
Similarly, Flanders was also curious.
He wanted to know what kind of information this bearded man in front of him would provide.
The bearded man once again took out a cigarette from his inner pocket and lit it up.
“Didn’t you notice? This scarecrow looks exactly like the one in the video.”
Hearing this, Flanders was once again on guard.

However, Kai’s next sentence was, “I suspect that this strange creature has the ability to possess objects.
“In other words, this scarecrow’s probably just a body that he abandoned.
“The real target may have already changed his appearance and escaped.”
Hearing Kai’s words, Lucas was once again shocked.
Strange creatures could possess objects and even change appearances?
This was something he had never thought about.
Instantly, he looked at Kai with a hint of respect.
No wonder Kai’s mission rates were 100% even if his strength was only at F-class.
Was this his way of thinking?

Looking at the scarecrow in front of him, a hint of confusion and fear appeared in Lucas’s eyes.
How should he deal with such an unfathomable opponent?
His thoughts were interrupted in the next second.
This was because he had already fallen for Flanders’s Fear.
Flanders had made his move!
He did not attack earlier because firstly, he wanted to test the effect of his level 3 Disguise.
Secondly, he was not sure if the other party had let their guards down.
However, it was different now.
He had already perfectly tested the power of his Disguise.

At the same time, he had also received a lot of information.
Most importantly, these two people were clearly thinking about something else at the moment.
It was the best time to attack!
However, just as Flanders wanted to test his other skills, an accident happened!
He saw that Lucas’s and Kai’s eyes, which had become empty and out of focus, instantly returned to their original state!
Moreover, once Lucas recovered, he instantly unsheathed the sword at his waist and slashed at Flanders as if by reflex.
At the same time, Flanders saw from the corner of his eye that Lucas’s other hand seemed to be touching the back of his waist.
Kai, who was behind Lucas, seemed to be muttering something.
Flanders almost instantly understood what was happening.

The situation took a 180-degree turn!

8 137The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
8 191The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
