《Monsters Came Following》1 - 'world,

Advertisement

Earth is a rocky, terrestrial planet that orbits around the famous huge star, sun. In this planet, countless things would make either a short or a long appearance. Said for now, many disappearances have alarmed the government, all have different reasons to do so. May it be death? Murdered? Kidnappings? Or it could be the popular transporting to another world theory.

It is just that, unable to find leads to these cases, it is only considered as out of the three things mentioned except the latter.

Humans are scared of things that are powerful and mostly strange. So they try to make audible reasonings to prove that divine existences of such are false.

And most importantly, people disappear sometimes leaving without any trace.

You may even be ignorant that someone who you used to be friends with would be gone, moreover, people are slow in noticing if something on that person gone wrong, this is because one would mostly not mind others business, they mind their own, it is already a big deal in facing your own life, how on earth could you be so active in finding abnormalities of another kind...

___________________....

In the busy city of Country A,

Bustling with noise, the streets of the city was yet again filled with countless people.

Ever since technology developed, people began to gain entertainment and things began to sprout in the past few years.

With large buildings towering on different spaces or standing next to each other, huge video boards were placed to showcase both news and advertisement, though it was not night yet, the busyness of the city was apparent...

In one dark alley that was unknown to most, a chubby man wearing the typical white sleeveless shirt and blue jeans walked inside.

His fat jaw was layered with fats and a few beard hair sprout out from the bottom of his face. His black eyes squinted as he pinched the phone he was holding.

Twisting his half gone cigarette on the wall, he asked the caller listlessly as if annoyed.

"Mister Yoshima, we have already asked gently and softly for the money but you instead ran away. It's not our fault for crippling your son, do we?"

"Boss Ayi, please, I beg mercy, please don't break my son's hand!" The man in the other line cried.

The fat man laughed aloud for the moment before saying, "Hahaha, let's see, we should have a fair deal, money for me and your son would be scratch free.."

"Scratch free?! You've already broke his legs...how could you..."

"What do you expect? You were definitely courageous asking some loan from us loan sharks, he hehe," Replied the man, pausing for a while he then asked, "When will you give the money?"

"I...."

The man in the other line showed that he was reluctant to give the money the fat man wanted, he dragged his words out until a sharp howl broke the silence.

Ahhhhh!

The fat man screamed, the man in the line was confused regarding what was ongoing, he could only hear the beeping sound of his phone giving out the realization the fat man had hanged up.

The fat man, his stoic and pale face was in view.

He looked towards the deeper part of the alley with fear stamped in his face. His veins thickened as he tried to move around and run away, but clearly he couldn't as he was stuck in his place, no, to be more specific, everyone in the few thousand kilometers area away from the alley was frozen in place.

This event aroused many who'd live streamed everything, this also became a latest news that was accompanied with mystery, with the bold italic front in sight, the caption: WHY IS EVERYONE IN CITY A FROZEN?

The internet was quite lively with the topic...

The abnormalities have brought many to chat.

What can you otherwise say, everyone is heated with it.

Returning to the fat man, he could only close his eyes in response to the fear he felt. Never in his life have he been afraid; mostly because he was someone born in a slight higher status compared to others and the strength he had, this fear of something was the first in his life.

A poor cannon fodder that would later on be forgotten, the sight of him trembling and shivering towards the purplish aura that danced around the shadow area of the deep abyss.

He was certain that if he confronts that ' person ' he would definitely not live. He was arrogant: yes, that's true, but he was not a death seeking maniac, that's just too much for him, you know.

Suddenly, a mysterious force unshackled the frozen state they received, without even batting an eye to spare a quick glance at the entity walking out of the shade, the man resigned as he ran away hurriedly as if something was running after him. Due to his sudden movement, the phone he held fell from his grip.

'Forget about it...' The fat man told himself, despite the value of the phone he bought just a few days ago, it did not value more than his one time use life.

======

In the dark shade of the alley, a silhouette bathed in the same tranquil obsidian color could be seen walking slowly until he successfully came out of the shade where the yellow sunlight hit him vertically.

The sunlight was glowing, it shone on his prominent features making himself more visible.

At first, he looked tall in his silhouette however was the complete opposite when he became visible at sight; with a short height that amounts to 163cm that's quite very rare for men.

His long black bangs covered his eyes, and following his sudden bob, the bangs shifted to the side and revealed upturned double lid eyes where two green orbs with an x-shaped pupil lies.

His eyes shone with elegance, but, it never hid the trace of confusion and surprise blooming and making waves in those supposedly calm eyes.

With another foot in step, the 'boy' finally had his body out of the shade, revealing some inhumane features such as two uneven horns that rested on the sides of his forehead, and a long tail from behind.

This would be the first for one to take a glance as these were very peculiar, despite that even the clothes he wore shown the same aura of oddness.

"I...Where am I?"

His voice was melodious and magnetic, it was very hard to describe it but it is that his voice was both youthful and deep...

(1st POV, Yuan's)

I called out, my view was quite hazy as I looked around the thin space in my view. It was somewhat familiar, like those of something I saw in my past life.

Im not talking about rebirth, reincarnation or such, my past life was the part of my long life that began thousands of years in the past, the past where I, was nothing but a short lived human that was shorter than usual.

Recalling about that, my memory prior in my home world was vague, it maybe because I have lived for thousands of years and grown used in the other world that I must have found that particular memory, useless.

Now that I think about it, wasn't I just celebrating with my kin? Weren't I toasting around with my distance a few meters away from Shen as I happily received the congratulations from them.

Then why is that, I'm in a foreign place? This place was not the same as my castle...

I strolled further out from the part I stood, my hand trailed the cold rough texture of the wall I was leaning half my body into.

I need to take a quick look at outside to know what things I should do next. I never knew that becoming a Demon God would still bring me into situations where I am helpless about.

*crack*

I abruptly heard a creaking sound and with my sensitive slightly pointed ears, I was able to point out.

Underneath my large sandals, was a strange piece of metal.

I picked it up and inspected it thoroughly, I saw that it was very strange indeed.

Without wasting my time to plunder into deep thinking, I called aloud a name:

"Momo,"

Upon the end of my voice, a monotonous one replied inside my head.

"Got it."

The voice then added, "This is called a mobile phone, master. It is of the latest models of many aspiring touch screens....."

Momo was as knowledge as always, I was able to discern what this thing, called as a touch screen, is able to do. I'm greatly thankful that I picked him out of many treasures I was asked to pick after attaining my godhood.

Despite Momo's monotone robotic voice, he's male. I've asked him that question a few years ago.

"Thank you, Momo." I said.

"No problem, Master." Momo though cold in speaking, showed some slight warm emotions fluctuations.

After that, Momo became quiet.

Hearing the silence again, I slightly perked up my mouth as I opened the phone. To who was the owner before, thanks to dropping this, because without This, I wouldn't have learnt that I've returned to Earth. The Earth from where I was born and the world which was my past home...

I couldn't believe it.

In those years I've attained son strength and even went for greater heights to find my way home. And when I've given up because I want to indulge with my love with Shen, heaven played big joke.

I wasn't even warned, it could only be that upon gaining my god head did I was forcefully returned. Is having another God in the land of Zane such a big issue? Wouldn't they understood that returning me back into this ordinary world is a bad idea if it happened to be that I was wicked and vile?

"...."

I can only say these things inside my thoughts, I can't bother disturbing Momo who also have been confused regarding the sudden transmission.

But....

I looked up, my eyes fluttered as I shut them. My thoughts were filled with Shen, she would be very worried.

I had asked a short question earlier on Momo if it I possible to return to Zane, however, I faced only failure and inability words in large fronts in front of my face indicating it was impossible...

"Ten years into the future, what would the world bring into view...?" I asked, feeling disoriented, my green eyes locked into the time spot glowing in yellowish fronts in the phone's lock screen.

"....I can only do my wish from that last era, shouldn't I?" I asked myself. I had hastily recalled a wish I used to hopelessly call out everytime I doze to sleep; a wish to return to my once ordinary human life. That wish was made from a few era ago in the land of Zane, the era of cold one-sided war.

The winners were within the expectations of mine and bluntly, the demon race won against the others.

I never thought that I would be able to revive that wish of mine, Shen had become the sole reason I remained in that world. I wonder how she is doing now? I am unable to look at the events happening in that place as the connection within my spacial mirror got interrupted and cut off.

Now, returning to the wish I'm bound to fulfill, I can't show up differently from the others when I walk out.

After thinking about this, I waved my hand in the air and formed an X shape. This feels so cringe, I never thought I have to do this pose again in my life. The code that Shen made is too embarrassing....But this is the only way I can unlock the sealing factors I've placed hidden inside my eyes.

"X...Go seal..myself..." I stuttered with a red face. Shen used her modern knowledge by playing this on me, ahhh I really can cry.

She's really forward in her goal on making me a magical shota...

[Sealing....%1......%12....%50--Master's power is half sealed, attempting hiding of odd features that are different from humans......]

Momo's monotone voice spoke aloud in my mind.

I was still on my spot as green light showered on me. Upon having sealed, I found myself lighter than usual. I then subconsciously touched my forehead and I almost shouted when I found out that my horns were gone, same goes for my tail.

[...Sealing is resumed...%60....%90....%99..] Momo continued, [Sealing is up only to %99 percent, %1 percent has been left out according to Madam's prior requirement.]

"Requirement?" I asked, perplexed.

Momo had long left his system-like speech and became more conversational, "Madam had said that %1 of unsealed power of the Master is needed especially if something is dire."

"Oh," I softly sighed, "I see."

"Then that's great you understand, Master." Momo said.

I then moved forward, tightening the grip on the new pair of clothes I've gotten based on the data about the famous casual wear of my home world.

It was soft, and quite fuzzy. It was slightly better than the clothes in that other world, well.

Upon reaching the end of the alley, I was welcomed with sharp bright light from the lustrous ball of flare, the sun.

"I'm deeply concerned why lights like to always flash on me," I muttered as I took a sunglasses from my sweatpants' pocket.

"I really hate the day," I whispered as I swung my hoodie to cover my head.

I then looked up, stared dazedly on the view I saw. Time really changed the world a lot, everything were far from the things me in the past saw.

"I'll become an adventurer....no, that's not it, I want to become a world traveler." I stated.

"Traveling needs huge money cost." Momo replied.

"Uh, I can just sell the jewelries I've placed inside the dimensional pocket..."

"That can't do anything." Momo said, "The Zane jewels are from a different type of compound and elements which does not exist on this world, it could be mostly mistaken as a fake, Master."

"Eh? Oh, right.." I muttered as I lowered my gaze, "Then I'll have to continue my job as a librarian...I just remembered I have that particular job interest. While I go work, I can also sell self written stories."

"I approve, nothing is wrong with your plan, master."

"Eh." I mumbled as I stretched my hands upward. I welcome myself to the home world I live in the past, I will really live till' I get bored as I move forward to enjoy my needed ordinary life in this ordinary world of mine....

"After I get enough money, I'll quit my job and become a traveler."

I said with a smile on my face.
