《An Upgraded Soul》74 - Nationalising
Advertisement
"Elder brother Aditya, Raghav" everyone shouted with shock and jumped at these people but it was already late. No one had imagined these bastards would play such tricks. Faizal's face paled when he saw the gun aiming at Aditya, he couldn't imagine been a gangster without following Aditya anymore.
Bang! Tang! AH! Ah!!
The following event puzzled everyone as the expected shouts came but it was neither Raghav nor Aditya who cried in pain but it was Hamid and one of the two people who were about to shoot Raghav. Even Raghav was prepared to be shot when he saw the gun appear in front of him, he had been negligent otherwise this would not have happened. His only thought before dying was that it was a pity that a prodigy like Aditya was dying because of overconfidence.
When Raghav opened his eyes he saw a sharp, shiny needle penetrating the index finger of the person aiming the gun at him. The needle had penetrated his ring finger beneath the skin all the way into his palm so his ring finger was currently fixed in position by this needle. Any attempt at moving his index finger to pull the trigger resulted in excruciating pain which was why he had cried in pain. Before he could think of changing the finger or hand, he was already tackled by others.
As for the person who aimed at Aditya, he was fine but then so was Aditya. The one person who was actually hurt was Hamid as blood spurted from his left knee as he thrashed on the ground in a manic frenzy as pain engulfed him, he had never felt so much pain in his life that he felt it was better to just die.
Aditya looked at the suffering person in front of him impassively as he twirled a slightly damaged knife in his hand. If there was anyone who had recognized those two people who were only acting as if they were injured, it was Aditya. Aditya's 'Sensifull' made it possible to observe everything that was happening around him.

So, from the beginning, he knew these two were acting but he let them be as it would not much difference to him. Aditya had also activated 'Slow Timing' so that no one could catch him unprepared. Any sudden movement in other's eyes was actually like a snail moving in Aditya's eyes.
So even before Hamid gave orders, the moment Aditya saw these two people move, he had already prepared his countermeasure. So before they could even pull the trigger, Aditya's attack had reached one of them while he prepared to use his knife made of AUS 8A carbon steel to deflect the bullet towards Hamid's knee.
"These people's expressions are more comical than Taarini's," Aditya muttered as he looked around and compared their expressions to Taarini's when he practised these skills in front of her. With Aditya's supernatural calculating skills, he could easily control a needle's trajectory and speed. Not only could Aditya achieve 100% accuracy level when he fired a gun, but he could also 'see' the trajectory of a bullet fired in his presence as long as he was familiar with the gun's capabilities and ammo characteristics.
He knew that the handguns were Makarov pistols with 9*18 mm ammo. He had also practised with that gun and so was familiar with it.
Aditya was the first one to move, it was not those people who possessed the gun. So, before they could even reach the trigger, Aditya's attack had reached them which led to this spectacular display which caused Raghav to be muddled and Faizal's frozen expression. The second one with the gun was also incapacitated by now.
When a person who was beside Hamid saw what had happened, he screamed hysterically as if he saw a ghost, he cried, "YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM..."
Aditya whipped his head towards the person who was screaming as he asked with raised eyebrows, "You know 'them'?"

"YOU ARE ONE OF THEM, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM…" the person continued to scream in a frenzy. Aditya went forward and knocked him out as he said to Faizal, "Faizal, I want this fellow. Send the rest to Miss Taarini, she knows what to do with them." He did not have the mood to deal with Hamid anymore as he felt that dealing with the other fellow was more important. Faizal, who had regained his composure with this person's shrieks nodded as he scrambled to obey Aditya's orders but the awe in his eyes when he looked at Aditya said it all.
The whole ordeal was over in the span of ten minutes as Aditya stood outside examining Faizal's new bike. Though he was a four-wheel enthusiast, it did not mean he disliked bikes, especially the one in his front, a candy red coloured Suzuki Hayabusa. Aditya's eyes shined when he saw this beautiful art piece.
"It's gorgeous, right? I bought this bike with my share of the money we plundered last week, from those gangs." Faizal came up with a smug look. He clearly liked this bike and was pleased when he saw Aditya also nodding in agreement as he asked, "Tell me the details of the engine."
"Elder brother Adi, this bike is the fastest commercial sports bike as, after this bike's market entry, the Japanese and the European manufacturers sat together and had placed the cap of top speed at 186 mph. So, no bike is out there which can beat this one in speed. The name 'Hayabusa' means a Peregrine falcon in Japanese and this bird is known for reaching the fastest speeds of 322 kph which is almost the same as this bike. The engine is an inline four engine with 1340cc capacity and..." before Faizal could continue his explanation, Aditya's phone rang and he paused.
Aditya who was attentively listening to Faizal's explanation wrinkled his brows lightly when saw the number and answered it. His expression did not change much as he cut the call and turned to look at Faizal and said, "Give the keys."
"I knew you would be interested in this bike as it has a unique aerodynamic style and the firm suspension is perfect for Indian roads," Faizal smiled as he handed over a falcon shaped key.
Aditya nodded as he inserted the key and got on the bike and started it, the engine sounded more like a scratchy whine. He removed the stand and balanced the 250 kg vehicle pretty easily as he started the bike and changed the driving mode to A which is basically full power. Aditya turned to look at Faizal who smiled and said, "Elder brother, you can go for a test drive, it's fine."
Aditya nodded as he said, "the keys are in the car, see you." The bike started and the speed immediately reached to 100kmph in 3 seconds as the power delivery of the engine was like a razor sharp knife. Aditya along with the bike had disappeared after a few seconds.
Faizal waited for some time as he thought Aditya would come back and only after a few minutes that he realized the meaning behind the words, 'the keys are in the car.' Faizal smiled bitterly when he realized his bike was also nationalized by his elder brother just like his car. The tall, muscular man walked depressingly towards the car which was actually his, to begin with.

Dungeon Instinct
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity. His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed. Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...
