《Dark Chronicles》CH 46 The orphanage

"Wow you were amazing in there Kaito"
"Thanks, but that fight compared to my other was easy"
"Yeah,but don't you have any more matches today"
"Nope. see they changed the rules recently so that each fighter only has one match per day,So now I can do whatever I want"
"Well if you're free then you should come to our orphanage,sister Trish makes some of the best food ever"
"Thanks, I would be delighted"
We begin to make our way back to the slum district.We make a quick stop at a few food shops to buy some things for the other kids at the orphanage.Once we make reach the wall again I thought they would ask for payment,but instead, they just let us pass.
"Frost, why is it they don't charge you when you leave the noble district"
"They don't charge because no one's going to pay to enter a worse place than the one you're leaving"
We continue to make how way past the wall and into the slums once again.It doesn't take long for us to reach a building slightly resembling a church,the church is not in the best shape the windows are cracked in places, one of the front doors is just hanging on its hinges.
"So this is your orphanage"
"Yeah come on in and meet sister Trish"
Frost and Flame run ahead of me carrying all the food I bought at the stores with them.I see them stop at the front door and call out many different names.Soon the doors slam open and a lot of other children all aged differently come out from the orphanage.
"Frost,Flame Where have you two been you've made me worry sick."
Out of the shadow covered doorway steps out.A young woman looking close to my age with only a few more years, dressed in a white outfit that bears close to a nun's outfit with only a few differences like instead of a cross is a symbol of a sun with a sword in the middle of it.So she is a preacher of the Holy sun god.
"Don't worry Sister Trish Kaito took care of us"
"Yeah,And he bought us nice food too"
"Kaito, who's that"
"That would be me, ma'am"
I Give a slight bow to sister Trish.
"Your Kaito"
"Yes I am"
"And you bought Flame and Frost all these food"
"Yes as payment for showing me around"
"Yeah,he also protected us from some people from the RockFist gang"
"What you guys we being abused by them again I thought I told you to avoid them"
"We did they found us"
"Heh,Well then if that's what happened I guess I can't be angry at you two.Thank you, mister Kaito"
"Please just call me Kaito"
"Hey, sister Trish can Kaito stay for dinner"
"Well it would be nice to repay him, but Kaito probably has other plans"
"Actually, I am completely free, so I would love to have dinner here"
"Really then follow me"

She led me into the shabby building,it kind if reminded me of the dormitory back at the school.Before I noticed we had arrived inside a dining hall,in the middle of the room was a long wooden table with chairs set all along it,there was also a fireplace crackling across from the table.
"Go take any seat"
"Thanks"
I walk to the table and seat down.The children quickly fill in the other seats.I feel a tug at my shirt, I look down to see a little girl with pink tails.
"Mister there's no other seat so can I sit on your lap"
"Lily there's a free seat over here"
"Shut up Billy,Please sir"
"Sure"
She hopes onto my lap while having a broad smile on her face.
"So Mr. Kaito Where are you from"
"Small mountain village in the mountains"
"Why are you in the capital"
"I am competing in the in the [Grand combat tournament]"
"Wow doesn't that mean your like really strong"
"Yeah Kaito's really strong we saw him fight in a match and he beat down his opponent like he was nothing"
"Cool then can you do magic"
"Yes a little"
"Can you show us"
"Sure"
I form a small ball of blood man into the palm of my hand.
"Hey, Flame what is your favorite animal"
"I like cats"
"Alright a cat it is"
I focus on the image of a cat in my head.The blood in my hand continues to grow in volume, it floats high up into the air,it starts to shift and wobble more and more until it finally takes the shape of a cat.It lands on the table like a real cat, it begins to move around and even purr.It's an instant hit with the kids they want to pat and cuddle the cut I've made out of blood.
"Awsome you can make animals"
"No, I just use blood magic to shape blood into cats"
"It's sooooooo cute"
"What else can you make?"
"Frost what is your favorite animal"
"I like birds"
"Done"
I summon four spheres of blood,the rotate around my body.Each one takes shape into a different kind of bird, the first one was a buggy it flew around the kids heads chirping as it flew, the second bird was a crow-shaped like Nethering except this one was made out of blood,the third was an eagle I tried to make it as realistic as possible but since I've never seen an eagle up close and personal it was probably not too realistic,and the last bird I made was an owl.
Each one flew around the rooms the small one perched on the kids shoulders at times so they could pet them.I made it so that every time the birds came close to the blood cat it would chase them around the room like a real cat.
"Can you make something big"
"How big"
"As big as a werewolf "
A werewolf they actually exist in this world I've never heard anyone mention them up till not,but I suppose it's not impossible they have dragons,demons,elves and a lot of other creatures so why not werewolves.

Ok, I just have to imagine a werewolf.A large sphere of blood appeared in a corner of the room it was completely inactive until I started to focus more and more on the image of a werewolf from all those movies I watched back in my world.The sphere of blood began to shake and wobble, after a while, an image started to form of man(who had pants on because this is a kids performance)with the head of a wolf,he had fur covering his entire body his muscles were shaped like a greek god.
I tried to add in every little detail a werewolf should have it was a little difficult since I was working with blood, but I got the in the end.
After he was fully created all the kids couldn't take their eyes off of him.So they like him well I guess I should make him do something a little extra.I imagine the only instrument I ever learned to play in my life a flute.
A flute made from blood formed in the imposing werewolves hand.I made him walk over and sit against the wall, he started to play the flute at first it wasn't any good,but after a few adjustments to the instrument, he was playing the flute like a pro.Majestic music filled the room the kids become to hum along with the song after a while.
I made a few more animals all kinds join in on the party,I made them dance with each other.It was all really entertaining to the kids some even got up and danced around the flute playing werewolf.
"All right kids dinners ready who want's soup"
Sister Trish walks into the room carrying a large pot full of soup.She stops dead when she see's the creatures I've made.She particular looks terrified by the werewolf playing the flute against the wall.
"Hey sister Trish look at what Kaito can do"
"You mean Kaito you did all this"
"Yeah isn't it cool"
She walks forward,still a little stunned by the little performance.She places the pot of soup onto the table.
"I will go get the bowls and spoons"
She seems to be scared of the bloody creatures I created. I continue the performance until she returns with the bowls and spoons.
"OK, children time to sit down and eat"
"Aw but sister Trish we want to dance some more"
"No, it's time for you to sit down and eat"
"But"
"NO, but's sit down and eat"
"Sister Trish is right time to eat"
I cancel all my blood constructions.The children all sat down with not too happy expressions.
"Alright everyone takes a bowl and spoon then pass it down"
She places a bowl into the big pot of soup until it's full then she places a spoon in it and hands it to the closest child who passes it down who passes it down until it reaches the end of the table.This process continues until everyone has a bowl of soup and a spoon.
"Alright who's turn is it to pray"
"It's Toby's turn"
"Alright Toby go Ahead"
"Oh great god of all giving, all providing, all healing, all that is righteous and good in this world we pray to you that our days and our hearts be enlightened with you all right light and that if we, your almighty follows ever stray from the path of righteousness you will deliver us the light to walk on the holy road once more,We pray to your light great god Lumiran"
"Let's Eat"
What I saw after that was a massacre of soup the kids ate like it was the last soup in the world.I had some even know it was a little difficult with a girl sitting on my lap but I managed,I will say this it was a good soup. I look around mostly just kind of happy to see these young kids enjoying themselves.Then there was sister Trish who kept stealing glances at me for some reason.
Dinner was over rather fast thanks to the kids.
"Alright kids take your dishes to the kitchen then off to bed"
"But sister Trish it's not that late"
"You know kids who go to bed early sometimes get candy in the morning"
"Candy"
The kids rushed out of there fast.
"See ya Kaito"
"Bye Kaito"
Frost and Flame each said bye to me as they left.
"Good night Kaito"
"Come on Lilly If you're late to bed the boogie monster is going to get you"
"Shut up Billy I don't believe in the boogie monster anymore"
"Then why did you pee yourself last night while screaming no boogie monster no"
"I"M GOING TO KILL YOU BILLY"
They seem close.
Once everyone left it's only me and sister Trish.
"Kaito I think we need to talk"
"We do.What about"
"Those little tricks you did with the blood magic those can only be pulled off by a grand mage or a blood mage.And by the looks of you, your not a grand mage so that only leaves blood mage am I correct"
"Yes your right I am a blood mage"
"Then it would be best for you to leave tonight"
"And why is that?"
"I have heard rumors of blood mages while I was in training to become a nun of the church.They are typically psychopaths who enjoy killing and can't control their magic very well so they just let it off with caring about the consequences"
"But you've seen my blood magic I can control it and I would never even think of hurting the kids here"
"That might all be true but I still don't feel safe with you around me or the children so I would ask you to pleases leave."
I didn't like it but this was her decision and I had no say in it.
"Ok I will leave but before I want you to answer one thing for me"
"What is it"
"There are people who are causing trouble for you and this orphanage who are they and where can I find them"
"They are called the RockFist gang and their headquarters is over at the west entrance old lumber place"
"Thanks.And one last thing uses this to fix the place up"
I summon 100 gold from my card and place it on the table.
"That's gold"
"Yes it is,Have a nice evening sister Trish"

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
