《Regressor Kiara: Heaven Inception》Chapter 3: Sprint
Advertisement
Kiara opened her eyes.
The pain in her whole body started disappearing.
She stopped operating her mental power.
Only a small part of it was consumed.
Materializing mental power outside the body required tens of times consumption, that's why she didn't waste anything.
This small amount of mental power will recover in ten minutes.
Growl~
Kiara's stomach rumbled.
She didn't eat food nor drank in two days straight.
She could stand it because her will was tens of times stronger than an ordinary human.
Well, this should be the last day though.
The mind wants, but the body can't.
All the energy in her body was used in recovering her damaged muscles.
Although the mental power could substitute some of it, it could only swap half.
"This should be enough."
Kiara nodded.
She ignored her trembling body and stood up.
This whole time, she thought of many possibilities in her mind, but the most likely result was already out of the question.
Should there be no any life to check up on the room, she herself will check outside.
Kiara stretched her small figure, groaning with every crack of her bones.
"Ahh. That's better."
Kiara smiled. She felt refreshed.
Hup.
Kiara leaped forward and punched out.
Her mind immediately sent out mental power, flowing to her right arm, to her first.
It materialized into a fist, covering Kiara's small fist.
Bang!
A huge dent appeared on the handle of the door. It was warped.
Bang!
Another one.
Bang!
And another one.
Kiara stopped operating her mental power.
The handle is now completely gone, the door now swinging open.
"Phew."
The world beyond the door was a long hallway.
She couldn't see the end, even the walls are white.
Kiara was speechless.
...
Kiara bitterly smiled.
It seems the change was more serious than I thought.

She shook off the numb feeling in her hand.
"I can't use body amplification."
Kiara muttered.
The skill uses mental power to forcefully strengthen the body, or a specific part of it.
With how fragile her current body was, her body couldn't withstand the recoil.
I can only rely on materialization.
Kiara thought.
Although the cost to effectiveness is seriously against efficiency, with her mental power capacity, it will be fine.
She's lucky that it's a straight hallway.
If there are twists and turns, she will be forced to spend more mental power.
"Okay. I'm done warming up."
Kiara lightly jumped.
Just before her feet touched the ground, the mental power moved.
A significant amount of mental power was immediately drained from her mind.
It flowed through her body into her legs, flowing out on her knees, enveloping everything below.
It was like a transparent boots, but it covered knees down.
The moment her foot touched the ground—
—Crack——!
Bang—!
Kiara shot out like a bullet.
...
Kiara felt the wind slowly burning her face.
The scenery never moved. It was all white walls.
This is consumption is dangerous.
Kiara thought, but didn't mind.
The faster she runs out of here, the earlier she can eat.
...
Time passed.
Kiara now ran for twenty minutes straight.
Her mental reserves are now below half.
She continued.
...
Time passed.
Kiara now ran for thirty minutes straight.
Her mental reverves are below twenty percent.
"Phew."
She felt the lightheadedness result from the exhausted mental power.
"I should rest for now. Depending on what class of detention is this, I should be at least halfway there, even if it's the top one."
Kiara muttered.
She slowly turned down the output of mental power, resulting on her slowing down.
She stopped after a minute.
She didn't dare turn back, afraid of losing her sense of direction in this white walled infinity.
She didn't want to run all the way back just because she turned around and lost direction.
"Hoo..."
Kiara sat down and closed her eyes.
The familiar deaths greeted her again.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.
