《Abnormal》Chapter 44 The book
Advertisement
Back :
I threw my shopping bag aside and stretched.
Alrighty, grocery, check.
I took out a small note pad and ticked off the word in messy handwriting : grocery.
So, meat on in the third fridge, veggies in the second, fruits in the first and other stuff in the small one.
I organized and seperated all the food.
K, now...What's next?
Oh wait, nevermind, no more, mission completed!
I ripped off the page from the note pad, crushed it into a ball and tossed it into the trash can.
I skipped along the corridor and pushed open the door to my room with force.
"Sean! I'm b------"
The door swung and crashed into the clothes hanger.
I stared at Sean, Sean stared back in a nervous expression.
The hanger fell, followed by the hats on it, but I wasn't looking at them, I was staring at the boy sitting on my bed.
"What are you doing?!" I said, paying no attention to the fallen hanger.
"Uhhh...reading...?" He said weakly.
I raised a brow, "And...?"
He looked away, his lips tightened.
"Sean, you could've just asked me." I sighed.
"Yeah but...."
I took the book from Sean's hands and snapped it shut.
The golden letters flashed smoothly through the cover of the book.
Unordinary
This book was banned after it had been published.
It was banned because of it's 'twisted' education and view towards society.
The book was about a hero who used his quirk for others and fought against evil.
This leaded to a situation where high tiers started getting influenced by the hero in the story.
Those high tiers did the same as the hero, they treated other low tiers equally and used their powers for good.
But then, those high tiers, titled as superheroes went out and fought real evil, causing death of a lot of high and god tiers.

The authorities found out about the book and disapproved it.
Resulting it to be banned.
But unfortunately, some people gotten copies of it, until it was found out and destroyed.
" Sean."
He looked at me like a kid being scolded by a teacher.
"You could have just asked." I said.
"I..I was just curious, ok?" He muttered.
"Soooo, what page." I continued, flipping open the book.
"Page?"
"What was the page you were reading?" I said.
"O..oh, erm, page 14."
"I can lend it to you, but I hope you won't do anything stupid with it." I said, tossing the book back to Sean.
"Really? Thanks! " He exclaimed, catching the book and flipped it back to the page he was reading.
"Either ways, us cripples can't do anything about evil things, so there's nothing wrong about reading that book." I lied, peeking at him from my side view, wanting to see his reaction about what I said.
"Yeah....true..." He said slowly, seems like he's hesitating.
"Anyways, what do you want for dinner, I have pizza in the fridge." I used my leg and lifted the fallen hanger with my foot.
With force, I bounced the hanger up before catching it with my hands.
" Do you have chicken?" Sean asked.
"Yeah, there's also beef if you want some." I said, rearranging the hanger and the hats.
"Nah, I prefer chicken, just for today." He said.
"K, fried or...."
"Fried!" Sean yelled, looking up from his book.
I smiled, " K."
"Wait! Can I em...ask you some questions?" He asked.
I nodded , "Go on."
"How did you get this book?" He waved the Unordinary book in his hand, his index finger stuck in the middle of the book like a bookmark.

"I just got it, and somehow the authorities don't know." I said.
"Ok...and, why don't you hire someone with the cleaning and cooking? This is a pretty big house for a regular, wouldn't you be tired doing all the housework by yourself?" He asked.
Oh, that hit me, how do I answer that....
"I just....don't wanna, doing some exercises won't hurt, right?" I said, making up the best reason I can make.
Sean surprisingly didn't say anything about it, he just nodded and continued reading his book.
I walked out and closed the door behind me, letting out a sigh of relief, I headed towards the kitchen.
***************
"DIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" I yelled, my fingers sliding side to side on the phone screen.
Sean said nothing, he had his full concentration on his character on the phone, not exactly, the health bar of his character, to be precise.
My frown faded and was replaced with a grin.
Sean's mouth tightened as his character dashed backwards, dodging my attack.
His health bar was low, extremely and dangerously low.
He ran towards his base, I ran after him, it sucks because all characters run in the same speed unless you had boost, even Truilyn ( The turtle with 3 abilities.) run the same speed as us.
" You ain't getting away this time! " I said, my sprinting ability enabled.
My character sprinted towards Sean's character, I immediately tapped the boost and attack ability.
The large sword on my character's shoulder swung towards it's opponent.
The red health bar shortened, there were barely anymore health, but Sean's character survived another day.
"YESSSSSHHH!!!" He said, his character went in auto run as he raised one of his arms.
He dashed pass my minions ( Who were fighting with his minions)
[First Blood]
...........
Sean and I remained silent for a few seconds.
The silence was then interrupted by my laughter.
" BWA-HAHAHAHAHAH------you.....escaped from me....and got killed....BY MY MINIONS!!" I laughed, the body of Sean's character remained motionless on the ground.
Sean gritted his teeth.
"Stupid minions...." He muttered.
The laughing continued until my opponent respawned.
"I'll kill you this time!" Sean yelled, his eyes burning in fury, yep, his lust for a victory in a game.
The game continued for an hour, everytime I kill him and destroys his base, he would come back and ask for a rematch.
"Sean, it's getting late." I said.
Sean's concentration was on its full potential, he totally ignored everything I just said.
"Boy, you hear me?" I asked.
He ignored me.
I made my character teleport back to the base, to make sure she doesn't die while I'm gone.
I stood up from my seat and walked towards my room.
Everytime when Sean got too into games, it will all end once I flick this switch.
So I did.
I flicked ' the special switch ' waited for an response.
"WHAT THE HECK?!"
Success.
Wifi gone, game gone, I win another round.
"Go shower, and than sleep." I said.
Sean angrily muttered something, he grabbed his phone and threw it on the couch.
"Yes mom." He said before grabbing his pajamas.
I poked my head out of the room and glared at him.
"Behave, or no games tomorrow."
Eheheheh, I feel awesome.
Wait, ah sh*t, i forgot to do homework.

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
