《Lucid Dream》Chapter 5: Cancel culture has dire consequences
Advertisement
I whistled a happy tune as I made my way home. As refreshing as a beatdown that was, I still needed the guy alive. Afterall, the Krono Clan was the force of order within this area mutant communities. Offing him would bring this country to chaos immediately.
Look what happened to the M country for example, that place had been a melting pot of warring mutant gang since the 90s. Then there was the T country, the Elementals ( who obviously control the element, a bunch of immigrants from Europe) and the Royal Legion ( government's secret super soilder) recently had a bloody clash, which ended up snowballing into full blown war. See? One force was good, 2 forces was trouble.
When I walked past a park in my iddle thought, I heard a very disturbing sound, sound of a little child sobbing and an even more creepy sentence following right after.
"Don't be scared little girl, I will take you somewhere safe, ehehehehe."
I sprinted to the source and clubbed the pervert in the head, shutting his teeth to ears grin on his wolfish face.
"Ouch, what the hell dude?" Said the offending party.
"That's my sentence, what the fuck, Marcus?" I reprimanded, realising a second too late I just hit the Werebeast Prince, an acquaintence of mine.
"I just want to take this lost child to the police station." He explained
"And why would you do that in your transformed state?" The Werebeast was an prominent faction in Europe. They are the reason for the Elementals mass exodus. And like every respectable Werebeast, they had disgusting regeneration ability, immense physical strength or speed, depending on the type of animal. Whatelse, they were immune to fire, lightning, or anything the Elementals could throw at them. The only way to kill them was decapitation, total destruction of the heart or brain, and paper cut. Somehow, they can't heal properly unless they cut the offending wound off completely. Don't ask me how that work.

"Ah, I just had a friendly scuffle with the Krono guys at the bar nearby. I totally forgot to transform back when I saw a helpless little girl lost in the park." Well, that explained all the bloodstain.
I then turned to the little girl in question, noticied that she had stopped crying and was staring at us curiously. She had a wavy sky blue hair, matching big blue eyes. Her appearance screamed unnatural and adorable.
"Hello, what is your name?" I asked her.
"I'm Nami." She answered in a soft, lovely voice.
"Well then little Nami, where is your guardian?" I flashed my most gentle smile I could mange, learned from the mistake of the guy before me.
"I don't know. Sister Anna said to show this whenever I get lost." She fumbled for something in her dress pocket. Turn out it was a smartphone of unknown brand. She powered it on and pressed a red button right in the middle of the screen. I was puzzled at first since nothing happened, then a realistic holographic projection popped up, revealing a girl I assumed to be in mid-twenty. Her burning hair, literally, tied into a short pony tail. Her background was a magnificent sence of a blue planet quite similiar to our I often saw on the internet. Must be quite an advance filter technology.
"NAMI, WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT WANDERING OFF ON YOUR OWN?" She boomed, her voice ringing in my ears like an explosion just gone off.
"I'm sorwy." The little girl apologised, half sobbing.
"Now now, I don't blame you for taking your vacation but please inform us next time, ok?" She soften up, unable to stay angry at the little adorable creature.
"Now listen up mortal." She continued.
I looked around, now noticing everything had gone awfully quiet, frozen in time. Yup, let me say that again. FROZEN IN TIME.
"Yes, you. In your presence was the Princess of the Supreme Celestial Empire. She has taken some time off her duty of taking care of the River of Soul. Be sure to accommodate all her requirement. Or else, your puny little planet will end up like the one behind me." She demanded.

I glanced at the planet in the background, now a horrifying mess of tentacle and eyes. The other princess of some grandoise empire snapped her fingers imperiously. The Cosmic Horror faking as an innocent ball of dirt combusted into thousand pieces sailing across empty void. Its unholy wail cut off in a glorious explosion of flame and destruction. The pieces busted into glowing fireball, forever erased from existence.
I gulped, looked down at the cute little girl then at the carnage, and made the wisest decision in my life. I nodded like a toy decoration in cars, too shocked to even utter a simple sentence.
"Good. Little Nami, we are a little busy at the moment so we cannot pick you up anytime soon. Be a good girl and try not to trouble the poor mortal, okay?"
"K" she answered cheerfully.
"In the mean time, I will send a squad of guard to protect your star system, just in case. The Void has been spilling out alot of cosmic entities lately" She said. Then a gigantic glowing circle in the sky brought out an entire fleet of coss shape spaceships, which then disappeared, assumed to have spread out across the stars.
Well shit, a squad she said. Everything was so crazy I didn't even know how to react anymore.
"Uhm... Mister?" The loli brought me back to reality. Wait, was this reality? Because my reality just did not dump a big fucking pile of trouble on me. Yup, no way. I must be in one of those stupid dream again. Wake up my son. We got stuff to do. Like any normal citizen of No-elderitch- Slaying- Goddess- land, I slapped myself on the face.
"FUCKKKKKKK" I screamed to the sky. First, that slap hurt like a bitch. Second, now I had to take care of a loli Goddess who I guessed can cancel this lump of dirt I was standing on with a snap.
"You alright, man?" Asked Marcus, a tad concern for my sanity. Cool, time resumed like physics told it to now.
"Would you believe me if I said I just met a God? 2 of them in fact." Now he looked at me like he was right all along.
Yeah, no chance of dumping this on him. Anything gone wrong and poof, bye bye little Earth.
"Hahaha, it was a joke. Anyway, I just remember little Nami here is a sister of an acquaintence of mine. I will take her home now. Right, Nami?" I lied through my teeth. Please, for the love of god, say yes.
"Yes, uncle... what is your name, mister?" She tilted her head slightly, looking every bit like a clueless, cute kid.
"I'm Hung. Hung Nguyen." I answered truthfully.
"Yes, uncle Hug? Hang?..." How she can talk in English all this time but cannot pronounce my name correctly was beyond me but I dutifully provided her an alternative "you can just call me Nyar." It was true that my language was very hard to say it right for foreigner.
"Right, Uncle Nyar talked to my elder sis earlier and because she was busy, he will take care of me for awhile." Goodjob. That was a solid explaination and technically, it was all true. I did not look like a pedophile at all. Nope, no FBI open up today.
"Okay? Anyway, catch up to you later. Imma head back and get wasted again." He waved goodbye and walked away. Luckily, he already had a few bottles up his head, otherwise, things might get very complicated.
Now, how was I going to explain this to my roomates though?

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.

Past that though we will get into a new plotline, though if you've already read through bunnymancer I would suggest starting at chapter 7 when reading through this.
