《Zoomchard: The Battle of Dominance(Cancelled)》6: Was I Caught?
Advertisement
Learning how to correctly use Super Speed and Telekinesis took the vast majority of my energy. I also learnt that when I grabbed these powers the extent of how powerful I can get revealed itself when I awoke, and seeing how powerful I will become frightens me a tiny bit. Like, if I ever became that powerful I probably won't use super speed ever again because of how destructive it is to the world. The lab I destroyed and the crater I created took twenty days just to reverse it to its normal state; the protective anti-magic barrier around the fifty-eight cities I ruined took a month to rebuild and almost dried Pariah's economy. At first, I thought I was going to be faced with backlash from the community but they praised me for how powerful I was and how important I would be in the Angel Wars.
Yes, the Angel Wars, I never believed Angels and Demons and I still am sceptical on the topic but there's a current ongoing war between the Angels and the Demons and The Pariah State is Angel's civilisation waiting to be drafted into the war. I always avoided the gods but after curiosity got the better of me I started looking and found out five Gods are watching our failed planet but are too occupied with the ongoing trouble they're handling. I've learnt all God's names and they go like this: God of Aerokinesis, Que; God of Electrokinesis, Shillim; God of Pyrokinesis, Dian; God of Hydrokinesis, Wintun; God of Geokinesis, Undon, and God of Speed, Oaen. Apparently, from what I saw and heard, there used to be a previous God of Speed named Kante but he fought with the other Gods and it brought him into becoming Devil of Speed instead.
But, becoming an Angel of a war of metaphysical creatures was never my plan. I planned to save trapped soldiers given by my military camp and I just went according to plan and got my hands on two precious things that will be a massive assistance in completing my mission. Saying goodbye was going to be hard but I have to part ways with the new group I've bonded so well with.

"Thinking of your mission?" Rey's voice spoke behind me. I was sitting on the edge of a skyscraper watching the civilians run around with their happy cheers. I turned my eyes over to Rey and followed her as she sat next to me to do the exact thing I was doing.
"Seems so," I answered shortly.
"You can't go just yet. Teri and Callu have grown quite fond of you." Rey chuckled, I chuckled in response not expecting what she would say next, "I have as well," Rey confessed with a beautiful smile highlighted by the background atmosphere of the fallen sun.
Why did that remind me of Yemlote? A warming feeling fluffed throughout my body as Rey's sculpture appeared more attractive than ever. Her detailed amber eyes filtered her calm emotions as her smile reached extensively and angelic, her comfortable temperature fizzled its way through the chilling air to zap me with a familiar impression of happiness. Her skin touching against mine designed the heightened nervousness that became ever so irresistible.
"You all good…?" Rey asked with unrest.
"Y-yeah, you just reminded me of a friend," I answered with a defeated tone.
"A friend, huh? I never really had any friends." Rey continued the conversation.
"Me too, she was the only friend I had." I chuckled, feeling a butterfly feeling inside my body become more apparent.
"You liked her, didn't you? What stopped you from asking her out?"
"She was married to an amazing man. I couldn't do that to the guy, they both seemed very happy and I just had to ignore my feelings for her but I was too late."
"What do you mean?"
"They both went missing in a bombing."
"O-Oh, I'm sorry…" Rey wept with a shattered voice.
"It's fine!" I raised my voice with sympathy as I violently shook my hands in front of a saddened Rey, "You don't have to be sad…!" I tried reasoning.
After sorting it all out, I was invited to train with Teri, she was a very tough opponent and knew all the weaknesses of my powers so every time I would get an upper hand on her she would find an opening to the cracks of my abilities and shut them down. She was given the ability to disable other abilities, so I had to use my fist against her.

"Ugh…" I groaned as I skidded down a ripped route of destruction in a secluded white room facing a serious Teri in her fighting stance. I waited for the dust to clear and pounced on Teri, I threw a fake fist that she fell for and quickly turned my body and slammed my foot across her chest. But Teri dodged the sudden attack and grabbed my right foot where she then punched me in the stomach which sent me crumbling into the floor.
"You're getting better." Teri praised me, I moaned a thankful nod as the pain kept getting worse in my lower back, every limb of my body stung bitterly but I was too stubborn to rest on the warnings. I extended my legs out one more time but this time I felt something crack and tear my legs, it was so extremely horrifying to have that sudden feeling. I couldn't do anything but scream in agony.
"Are you okay?" Teri asked, worried on my behalf as she fell onto her knees to scan the areas of my leg. After finding an irregular wound under my legs that poured out green liquid, Callu appeared in a hurry and wrapped bandages around my broken legs to release the suffering and to stop the bleeding.
"Are you stupid?!" Rey screamed as she entered the room with a panicked expression.
"I'm sorry...I just felt like I needed to push myself so I can become stronger and not upset you again…" I squeezed out as I covered my morphed face with my arm to find a way to relax the painful sensation.
"You are idiotic!"
It wasn't the only thing that was on my mind. After remembering Yemlote after that Rey incident, I couldn't stop thinking about my parents. It was dragging me down into a worse depression that I have never faced before. Training to the fullest was the only way I could get rid of that horrible feeling creeping its way near me; I don't want to pull down these new friends I've made because of a past I can't let go of. They probably would have consulted me and given me time to get in a better state but I just can't come to reveal that dark side again. Not after being accepted even though they knew what my mission was all about.
And it was one of the reasons why my abilities have reached a new level of power. Before I could only run Mach one but now I'm running Mach twenty-three thousand, two hundred and ten just under a week. The powers kept me in an obedient mindset of a disciple to evade the depression but no matter how hard I trained, no matter how strong my telekinesis achieved to the point I could lift that Tretse tower, the demons kept revolting back. I sure do hate my unluckiness and sure do hate me for abandoning my close ones two times just to watch both vanish in my life. I hate myself for that, I still hate myself for that. It was the guilt, the guilt was the hardest thing to break, it just couldn't leave me alone and it made me suffer an entire education because everyone nicknamed me The Wussy Murderer. I suffered something I should have suffered for. It's just as if only I could rewind time just to say "I love you" for the final time.
Tears began to pour down my cheeks as I awoke to a room blocked by white foil curtains, I glanced around and saw I was on a flat medical bed being helped for my legs that were being fixed by a female doctor that was slender and had a baby blue body along with green eyes that matched her friendly smile.
"Looks like a soldier can cry after all." The doctor giggled softly.
"What do you mean?"

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
