《The Inhabitants》Chapter 4. New Ability
Advertisement
The death of his people did not make Lando stuck in the sadness for too long. He could quickly turn his emotions to something else. This attitude has been trained since Lando was a child. In fact, if Lando drowned easily by the grief, he might have been depressed by the severity of his childhood life. Lando also doesn't get emotional easily. He always put rationality over emotion. After all, when he was a child Lando was almost killed by the locals for retaliating after being stoned. So for his revenge, Lando felt the need to prepare a few things in advance.
Before embarking on his revenge plan, Lando checks out his new abilities. His wounds were completely healed, in fact there were no scars at all. Fortunately Lando is not completely blind about his current body condition. Lando got the new knowledge of the new ability in his head instinctively.
Lando is able to make any kind of wound heal very quickly. In fact, Lando can even replant severed limbs although it takes time. Lando felt his healing abilities were a bit similar to the state when a person was still in the womb. Of course, Lando felt the similarity only based on knowledge he received in the process of merging his soul and four spirits.
Lando's healing abilities operate automatically, but could made it stop healing. Lando could maintain the non-healing state only when he was conscious and would revert back to the automatic state when he loses consciousness or falls asleep. Strange thought appeared in Lando's mind, he tried to stop his heartbeat!
'This..'
Lando was very surprised. He found he was alive without a heartbeat. But it didn't last long, only a few seconds until Lando was unconscious and his heart started beating again.
Lando feels he can fully control his body including organs and pores. Lando also feels his new abilities can be developed further. Unfortunately, Lando didn't know how to do so. Lando assumed that he had to increase his understanding of his new ability first in order to figure out how to develop it, at least he should get used to it.

Lando put away the conjectures in his mind for now. Lando didn't have time to think about this any further, he didn't have any further clues anyway. Lando began to analyze the situation of Willburg residence. There are more than 20 guards who are always active and half of them armed with guns. Fortunately, Lando was very familiar about the hidden paths of Wilburg residence, thanks to Mrs. Willburg's guidance. Even so, Lando felt the need to be careful.
Next was about Anderson, Lando understood that Anderson is always sleeping with his wife in the master room. Lando had only been to that room a few times, the job that Elisa ordered usually took place in another room. Lando only came to the main room when Elisa ordered him to carry goods or move something outside, however Lando always looked at the room very carefully, there were something that caught his attention.
Anderson himself is an unpredictable variable because when Lando worked Anderson was far away. Lando didn't know if Anderson had a gun on his hand or not. If that was the case, then it would be very dangerous to meet face to face.
Lando clears his mind as he prepares to leave the orphanage. Lando felt that the orphanage would not be the same without Johanes. Although all of the current caretakers of the orphanage are Johanes' confidants and nothing has changed so far, Lando sure of this situation will not last long, considering that people outside often looked the orphanage as a business opportunity.
Moreover, the only elite who had same standing as colonists in the orphanage was only Johanes. Locals and the mixed like Lando wouldn't be considered even if they wanted to take the lead. Donors will definitely send their people to replace Johanes.
Lando left the orphanage quietly. He didn't want to worry the children and other caretakers. He also didn't want to get them into trouble in case his plan goes wrong. Lando decides to leave the orphanage first before taking revenge in the future.
Lando walked towards a mountain on south of the village. There was an abandoned mine on the way. The mine was abandoned due to several mysterious deaths on it. Lando had a feeling that there was something that could be of useful to him inside.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
