《Mistaken Land: A Gamer's life in an another world》THE ELEMENTAL

Alec reads Angel and Demon as his race. But he said he was a demon? The story continues...
“Angel and Demon...” Mei said with a horrified face.
“What...” I’m thunderstruck after hearing that. I think;
Alec is half angel and half demon? What the... how...
“That purple light..”
We reach in the room and I lay down Alec. Karen had called the doctor and doctor entered the room. He started analyzing Alec. Doctor checked his mana pool, and his face is shocked.
Doctor says in a shock, “This boy... It feels like something is leaking. What exactly happened?”
“He just read his race ‘Angel and Demon' and a purple pattern started appearing on his neck. And then he fainted. It has happened before, but we thought it was only because of tiredness but now, it’s tough to say it was tiredness.” I said in a shocked face.
“A purple aura... maybe, He’s under some kind of illusion or a seal. But it’s a strong one, not an easy illusion.”
“I see...”
Alec wakes up. His one eye have turned into red while other one into blue.
“Where am I?” he asked.
“You are awake. You just fainted before Alec.”
“What happened before? Seji? Was it?”
“It’s seji of course. You saying like we meeting for first time.”
“And I’m Mei. If you remember, Alec.” Mei said while being shocked from his behavior.
Alec holds his brain and blue energy again starts to appear.
“ARRRRRR, LET ME GO. I’M SYN-" Alec shouted in suffering, but again fainted.
“Syn- who...?” I asked.
“I don’t know...” Mei said.
“Let me check his head.”
Doctor places hands on Alec's head. Doctor's face tenses up. He said, “His memories are most likely to be altered. And not by a human for sure. The magic presence is from a far more stronger illusion user race. Most likely to be from fairy race. His magic powers are sealed as well. And that seal is connected with the memory tampering. Probably a fairy can help.”
“The adventurer who belong to fairy race are gone in quests at the moment. You shall check a private guild. Ah, Yes! You can check ‘Elementals'. The infamous fairy ‘Ella'. She’s one of the strongest fairy in kingdom. That way you can hit Two birds with one arrow.”
“Precisely... but, Doctor, why he faints?”
“It’s likely the Seal doing its work. When he tries to remember his past he faints. And whatever he told you might be a lie created by the fairy who transplanted the memory.”
“I see. So, I guess no war happened 100 years ago?”
“Which war you are talking about?” Karen asked me.
“The war between factions?” I reply.
She gets shocked and says, “it’s been a thousand years since last Holy-Demonic war.”
“What!?!” I get shocked and said, “Come on, he said it was only 100 years ago.”
“Maybe his memory was altered?” Doctor said.
“Tch, who can do that hideous thing..”
“Take him to a fairy. Only a fairy can help you.” Doctor said.
“How far is Elemental guild hall?”
“A bit far. Since the guild hall is at outskirts of capital, and outside the gates.” Karen replied.
“I’ll Carry him.”
“Don’t worry, I have arranged a cart for you. Just carry him till down stairs.” Karen said with a smile.
“Thank you, Karen. Thank you doctor, tell me your price for check up.”
“It’s alright. I have nothing to help him. I can’t accept money. It’s against my Values.”

"Finally, some people who aren’t money hungry. Thank you guys.”
I pick up Alec. We are taking him downstairs and those words.
‘That purple light of your friend will take everything from you.’
“Seji, what’s wrong?” Mei asked me with teary eyes.
“Nothing, Mei.”
“Don’t worry, Alec will be fine, Trust in him.”
“Yeah.. he will be fine.”
We get down, the cart was waiting. We reach Elemental Guild house in few minutes.
“80 Rugen, Sir.”
I hand over him 80 rugen and carry Alec. We are in front of door. It’s big. The guild hall is twice of Union Guild.
“Mei, knock on the door.” I said.
“Okay..”
Mei knocks on the door. The door opens and a big mess was going on. Everyone one was fighting with pie. They were throwing pie at each other. Only a few were sitting silent and watching while some were drinking. There were about 30 people and 20 were fighting with each other with pie, and other stuff.
A pie comes in my face. Another pie comes in Mei's face.
“We came at a wrong place...” Me and Mei said.
“No you didn’t. Don’t mind them. They are always like that. Why are you people here?” He sounded expressionless.
“Can you take pie off my face first.”
“Why not. Water burst.” He enchanted and a big burst of water hit our faces.
“There are better ways! You freak." Mei shouted.
That guy was wearing Light Blue shirt with a design and a black shorts. He looked same age as me.
You could have just held onto my friend while I clean my face.”
“So, you came here for washing face?”
“No. I’m here to see the Master and a Fairy Adventurer named ‘Ella'.”
“Ella!?” That guy said. Everybody stopped fighting.
“ELLA!?!” Whil guild said.
“Yea, what’s wrong?” I ask.
“What’s wrong with you!!” He said.
“What’s wrong with me?” I asked.
“Ella is so scary dude!! Don’t try to go near her. Fairies have two forms, one the beautiful other the monstrous one. And Ella is scary in Beautiful form too.”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU WATER FREAK !” A young girl looking at age of 12 or 13 at upstairs throws bottle in his face.
“OUCH! I didn’t say anything. And I’m not water freak. The name is Reiz!”
“I heard you. Want me to use my magic to get truth?” She looks with evil grin.
“I’m sorry mam. Won’t happen again.”
“Good boy. And you all freaks. If master isn't here yet, that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Clean this mess, immediately!”
“YES MAM!”
“Are you Miss Ella?” I ask.
“WHAT YOU WANT?”
“I want you to check on my friend. He’s under some kind of magic.”
“I Don’t care. Come later.” She was drunk.
“He’s under fairy magic and a strong one. Whenever he tries to think about his past, he faints.”
She puts her hand on her head and a bit of blue energy happens.
“Alright, better now. I’ll listen you. You got my interest.”
“Thank you, Miss Ella.”
“Bring him in my room up. I’ll check on him later on. Until then, he can rest here.”
“Yes.”
Me and Mei walk up to her room.
“Seji, I never seen you so polite.” Mei asked me.
“I don’t know myself. Sometimes I’m a villain in my own books, and sometimes I’m a good guy. It doesn’t make sense.”

“You are a good guy..” Mei said.
“Sure. If you say so.”
We reach Ella's room and lay him down.
“Let him rest here. I’ll take bath and check later when master is here.”
“Alright Miss Ella.”
“Just call me Ella.”
“Alright. You can call me Seji.”
“I’m Mei.”
“Awe, human girls are so lucky. You have a better body than mine Mei. I’m so petite.”
“I’m petite too, Ella.”
They laugh and we come down.
“Hi, Are You new here?” A girl said while sitting at counter. Seems like its reception for Guild.
“I don’t think so. I’m here to get my friend examined by Ella.” I replied.
“I see. Must be some serious thing I assume.” She replied.
“I guess.” I said.
“Well my name is Serina. I’m an A class Adventurer.” Receptionist said.
“Hi, Serina. It's Seji.”
“And I am Mei.”
“Nice to meet you to. Why don’t you guys join our guild?”
“I’m not sure about joining yet. I’m on my own quest.”
“And what might that be?”
“To find truth about this world.”
“I see. Maybe, Master can tell you something.”
“Yea, I’m also here to ask him something. And about your Master. Is he really void user?”
Her face tenses up. She says, “I think I can’t tell you something like this. Only Master can.”
“I see.”
“But why you ask.”
“He’s a void user too.” Mei said.
“Really!?!”
“Well yea. But I don’t know what it means.”
“Hmmn, I believe master can help you.”
“Hope so.”
Another women flies down in front of gate. She had wide black wings. The top of the wings were black feathers but, right after that, skin wings start. The wings had pointy tips from the end points.
“Oh Kiwari is here.”
The wings vanished in her back as she is walking towards Serina. She was wearing a black shirt with tight pants. She had long black hair and was having a black staff her hand.
“Hi, Serina. Any other quest?” kiwari asked.
“Hi kiwari. Yes, there are but first meet out future members.” Serina said.
“Uh, I still haven’t decided to joi-"
“Oh, welcome. What’s your name?” Kiwari asked.
I’m seji. B-"
“I’m Mei. Nice to meet you.” Mei said.
“uh, ma-"
“Hi Mei. Nice to meet you too.” Serina said while smiling.
“Nevermind.” I muttered.
“You saying anything, seji?”
“Nope. Nothing.”
A middle-aged man walks in the guild hall and continues to walk towards serina.
“I would like to put guild request for hunting down goblins. They are ruining the crops.” The old man said.
“How much money offering for the hunt sir?” Serina asked.
“I would like to assist.” Kiwari said.
“Oh child kiwari! You are here.”
“Hi old man Liro. Been awhile.” Kiwari said.
“Yes, it’s been awhile.” He said.
“So, Goblins exist too. I see.” I said.
“Yes, they do. ” The man says and looks at me. And he said, “A-a-re you Sacred Devil?”
“I guess that’s the name villagers gave me.” I replied.
“Oh Lord! I am meeting you here again. I’m a villager from Gines.”
“Oh! You already got a title! That’s good to hear, Seji.” Serina said.
“A title? Huh?” Kiwari said while looking at me with keen eyes.
“It’s nothing special. Anyways, hi old man. How are things there now?” I said to that old man.
“Been better. Irwin is handling village too good. And hi little Mei.”
“Hi old man!”
“Anyway, I’ll kill the goblins. See ya later, serina.” Kiwari said.
“See you!”
Kiwari walks to gate and flies.
“She looks strong.” I said.
“She’s an S class. The second strongest class, and she’s strongest in S class. Might be SSS soon."
“That’s pretty cool.” I said.
That S class system reminds me of MMORPG.
“Her brother sacrificed himself when they tried to take him.” Liro said.
“I see. So, it’s his sister...never mind. When will Master Arrive?” I said.
“I got to go now. See you. Guys.” Liro said.
“He should be coming by now."
An old man walks in guild's door.
It’s the same man, I got hit into this morning... that’s a co-incidence.
“Oh, Old man you are the master.” I asked.
“Yes, I am.” He replied.
He was wearing the fancy red long coat. And his hair was white and short. His body wasn’t muscular.
“Hey, Old man. I have questions to ask. And quite many of them.” I asked him.
“Master. They want to join our guild.” Serina said.
“Wait, I didn’t say I want to join.” I said.
“Oh, Welcome!” Old man said and continues, “My name is Zenon Blasius. The Master of ‘Elemental'. And may I ask your name.”
Mei looks enthusiastic about joining guild.
“Listen, Sir Zenon. I’m not here to join guild. I told serina before. I was here to ask a few questions to you and Miss Ella.”
“And what might the questions be?” He asked.
“it’s about your power, Void. I’m a void user.”
“Void!?!” Serina looks shocked.
Reiz and others are also shocked. But, they stay silent.
“You interest me. Let’s go above in a room.” He said while being shocked from hearing that.
“Sure.” I replied.
We walk upstairs. And I tell him “My friend is also here, but he's fainted.”
“Did you call doctor?”
“Certainly, Doctor is the one, who sent us here to Miss Ella.” I replied.
“I see. We can talk about Void later. Let’s go see your friend.”
“He’s in Miss Ella's room.” I said.
“I see, let’s go.”
We went into Ella's room. Zenon looks tensed. He looks at Alec's face.
“He seems normal to me.” He said.
“I don’t know. A purple light comes, and he faints every time.”
“I see. A seal. Hmm." He said.
“A strong one too. Doctor said it is not laid by humans or demons. It’s fairy magic most likely.” I said.
Ella comes in the room, From her other room after wearing her cloths. She’s wearing light green cloths with different shades.
“What you people doing in my room?” She asks.
“I wanted to check on this boy. Have you tried to see anything?” Master said.
“No, I was busy taking bath and getting ready. And I needed your permission for that master.”
“You have my permission." He said.
“Doctor said that he's under a seal. And his memory was tampered. Whenever he tries to think about past he faints.” I said to her.
“I see. A Seal.” She replied.
It’s like they know about them.
“Get side, let me take a look.” She said.
She puts her hand on Alec's head and enchanted, “Break into.”
A Blue energy again bursts. Ella gets a shock and says, “That seal..”
She stands up in rage. And picks me up with magic. Controlling her Magic and holding me from my stomach while I’m in the air. Her eyes turn all blue and her voice changes into deep voice.
“WHO IS THIS BOY! TELL ME!”
“SEJI!, Leave him Miss ella!!” Mei shouted.
I can’t move." Liste..n, he helped me. I tell you everything *cough* put me down.”
“Tell me first!”
My stomach. It's being tightened.
The black mana starts leaking out of me again. I lose the consciousness for a second again.
“Void, so he wasn’t lying.” Zenon said.
Black mana leaks again, and breaks the spell.
I fell when her spell broke.
“*Cough-cough-cough-cough*” I’m coughing.
“You bi-"
“Serina, bring water please.” Master said. Serina brings water and gives us all.
“What happened? Ella, was it you again?” Serina asked her.
“This boy. Where you find him?” Ella said. Ignoring serina’s question.
I drink water.
“Tell us your story, seji.” Master asked. And continues, “Ella, Stop.”
Ella's blue eyes turn back to her normal brown eyes.
I sat on the floor while my back touching wall. My stomach still aches.
“I’m not from this world...”
And then I told them my whole story. I told them everything happened in this world.
It was noon when we came here and it’s evening now.
They were surprised. They didn't look much convinced.
“You are a fairy who can see my memories right? Go ahead. Try it.”
“Alright.” Ella said.
Ella came and again a blue energy came in her hands. She puts her hand on my head. I can feel a bit of shock.
“Break into.”
But she leaves in a minute.
Nodding her head she said, “He is certainly not lying. I saw his world.”
“I see.” Zenon said.
“And why did you attack me?” I asked in anger.
She ignored the question. In the meantime
Alec wakes up. Ella takes her fighting stance.
“Where am I? Seji?”
“At our Guild House. And I’m the Guild Master.” Zenon said while signing Ella to relax.
Ella left the room and went to guild bar.
“I see. Are we joining them? Seji? Mei?”
“I would like to have a chat with Seji all alone.” Zenon said, and I went in other room With him.
“What you wanted to talk?” I asked.
“I apologize on Ella's behalf, She must have a proper reason, we can ask her later. But, I have an offer. I’ll teach you about Void magic and let you stay here. But, you will need to join Elemental. I’ll provide any support you need. You can't do everything solo after all. You want to find the truth but will they tell a nobody?”
“They won't, but I can try to make them talk. And why are you offering that?”
“You saw yourself in front of an SSS class Adventurer just now. I don’t think you are more than an A or B class. And you have void. If I let you follow a bad path, I’ll be responsible.” He said with a serious face. And continues, “ And I feel like you will be a great part of our family.” He said with a smiley face.
“What bad path? Destroying the world? I’m not into that much.” I said.
“I never said that but If you are given a choice to return to your world by destroying this world, then what am I supposed to do? See you getting killed? Or see you killing people? A void is not a normal Magic type nor it’s something too much to be proud of. It has its own disadvantages and advantages.”
“That’s true. I understand. But, tell me more about Void.”
“Join Me.” He asked with a smile again.
“Uh, I didn’t want to join but I guess I have no choice.” I replied.
“Alright. Go down and get the Elemental Crest on your hand. I’ll send Alec and Mei too.”
“Fine, old man.”
I go downstairs.
Zenon went into Ella's room and said, “Serina, go at reception and give them Crest. Alec and Mei, Seji is waiting downstairs for you.”
“Yes, Master Zenon.” Alec replied.
“A-Alrigh-t.” Mei was stuttering. Probably from what she saw just now.
Alec and Serina went Down.
Zenon patted Mei and said, “Don’t worry. Seji made a proper decision.”
“What decision?” Mei asked.
“The decision to be part of our family.” He said with a smile. His smile was convincing.
Mei came down.
“Are we joining them?” Alec asked,“Yes, We are.” I said.
“Are you sure? Seji?” Mei asked. She was worried about Ella.
“It’s fine. You trust me right?” I asked Mei with a smile.
“Yes, I do.”
“Then don’t worry. It will be fine.” I replied.
“Something happened?” Alec asked.
“Nothing much, Sleeping beauty.” I said.
“Ohkayyyyy? Never mind.” Alec replied.
Zenon came down and said, “Are you guys going to talk only?”
“Didn't plan to.” I said.
“Seji, first you.” Serina said. She was holding a stamp like thing.
“Which hand?” I asked.
“Any hand you like. You can get anywhere on the body if you want too.”
“Hand is fine. Here you go. Right hand.” I said. While putting my right hand forward on the desk.
“This is Magic infused ink. It will not fade away.”
“I see.”
She pressed the stamp on my right hand. And then a little light came and crest was on my hand.
The crest had all Five elements drawn in small icons on a pentagram. And some more magic spell written beneath pentagram. Giving a feeling of Magic circle below pentagram. It was a color gradient. From light purple to Black in the end.
“Here you go.” Serina said.
“I Have to say, it looks pretty awesome.” I said.
“It looks cool!” Alec said.
“I want pink and blue color!” Mei said.
“Alright, Mei.” Serina said.
“I want red color only!” Alec said.
“Alright, Alec. I got you!” Serina said.
“These things aside. What our classes will be?”
“You all are A class.” Zenon said.
“I see.” I replied.
After Alec had fainted I took his adventurer card.
We all got our crests now. Zenon sees them and says, “You all look part of our family now. LET’S HAVE A PARTY ON FOR OUR NEW RECRUITS!”
“Yep, We came at a wrong place.” Me and Mei said.
“Aren’t you guys excited for party?” Alec said.
“Well, It doesn’t hurt to party once in a while.” Mei said.
“You too? I’ll join too then.” I replied.
This reminds me of my own guild back in Anire online. I was the strongest mage their but since I have gotten here, I realized how weak I truly am. But, I could enjoy with these people.. Just like we used to do in ExEl (Seji's own guild in Anire online. It used to be number One there.)
They started partying already. The guild clock says it’s 6:50 evening time. And I don’t think they will stop anytime soon. Serina goes on stage and says, “These are new recruits people. Please, welcome them!! SEJI, MEI AND ALEC! COME ON THE STAGE!”
We go on the stage and serina starts introducing us.
“Sejiyoi Midaro! Also known as Sacred Devil! If you people live under cave, Sacred Devil is the guy who helped the villagers in Gines with the help of Alec and Mei here. They say he took Cheif down with one hand!” she said while pointing at me.
“Thank You, I’m seji.” I replied while bowing.
“Next is Mei Hazel! The princess of Gines!” She said while pointing at Mei.
“Thank you, I’m Mei.” Mei replied while bowing.
“And at last! Young Alec Rudsworth!” She said while pointing at Alec.
“Thank you, I’m Alec.” Alec replied while bowing.
They started clapping, and we were coming down of stage, but Serina said, “Where are you people going? All new recruits have to sing a song!”
“But , I don’t know any songs except lullaby for babies.” Mei said.
“I don’t know either.” Alec said.
“Awe, that’s sad.” Serina said. And continued, “Do you know any, Seji?” She asked.
I do know but, all I know are ANIME OPENINGS AND ENDINGS!?!
“No, I don't.” I said and started to whistle, and looking at ceiling. I get tensed up when I lie.
“THAT DEVIL BOY IS LYING! I SAW HIM SINGING AND USING SORCERY TO LISTEN TO SONGS IN HIS MEMORIES.” Ella shouted while being completely drunk.
Great, that annoying fairy is sitting in my knees.
“Awe, Seji. Now you have to sing.” Serina said.
“Alright, fine.” I said. They started cheering.
I can’t think of any non copyright music, since I listened to anime music mostly.
I start singing.
“Oh won't you tell me, please just tell me. Explain how this should work
Well now who could it be, that lives inside of me?
I'm broken, lying helpless, shattered. Surrounded by the world.
And yet your smiling bright, completely blind to life.
My ruptured lungs, they were left this way
For once, I'm out of breath
The truth I seek, never felt so bleak but
I maintain my depth
Freeze
I'm breakable yet unbreakable
I'm shaking yet unshakable
Until the day that you find me..
I'll stand here, existing and feeling wretched existence
Consuming life force till I grow distances.
Don't bother searching for somebody like me.
A fading no one
I don't want to hurt you, it's not my nature
A monster born from dusk to dawn can't be you savior
Remember the "me", the way i used to be."
They started clapping and crying.
They start cheering. But, they don’t know I just sang a cover of “Un***l” from “T**** G***L” by KYOUMi. But, it worked out. It's funny how they crying without ever watching Anime itself.
“I, didn’t know. You were a good singer. And those lyrics..” Mei was crying.
“Amazing...” Alec was crying too “Good job, Seji...” Serina said. And she’s also crying.
Only Ella wasn’t crying, but she said, “I must say, A Great song.”
“Thank you, All.”
“I hate to say but, sing one more song.” Reiz said while crying.
“Beautiful song. But, I’m not crying.” Master said while holding his tears in.
Great, I took over there hearts with anime song. That’s not bad. Maybe that’s why I was summoned in this world to introduce the beautiful songs and start a revolution for music industry here.
I start laughing a little.
“Ahaha"
“why are you laughing...” Serina said while crying.
“Aahahahahahahahahaahhah. I’m sorry but ahahaha.”
I laugh my heart out. Since last few days, I’ve been here. I haven’t laughed much. But I was laughing from bottom my heart. Then others sing and dance. It was really a party. They were drinking and eating.
Alec, Reiz and Mei have become friends. And they were getting along with others too. B class Adventurer Sharon and his adventurer buddy Grim. They were nice and but scaredy-cats. But, I met when I was coming down from stage. They were crying and asking for one more song, but I told them some other time and went my way. They wore similar cloths.
I can see Ella sitting at bar alone. I go and sit with her.
“Mind if I ask something?” I asked her.
“Yes, I mind and you are already asking something!” She said while being completely drunk.
I feel awkward and kind of funny seeing her like that.
“ahahaha” I laugh.
“Why are you laughing? Is my face that bad?” She asked with her angry face.
“They call it cute in my world.” My tongue slipped.
She blushes a little. But, again goes being drunkard and said, “What you want?”
“Why did you attack me? I mean what did you saw in his memories?” I asked.
“I couldn't go through the seal. But the magic used in seal was Magic of none other than Fairy Queen's Magic, Also my grandmother.” She said with teary eyes.
“I’m sorry. But, can I ask what exactly happened?”
“It’s fine. I don’t know details but My Grandmother, once known as the Fairy Queen was abducted after she had passed the Queen's Seat to my mother. I was only little, but my grandma used to tell me tales about heroes and other stuff.”
“But why did someone abduct her? And that means you are next fairy queen?!”
“I don’t know Why or who. And, We from fairy race don’t age after hitting a certain age. We get older mentally but our physique stays the same until our death. And no, I ran from fairy island. I don’t want to be any queen.”
“I see. How old are you? And why not be a queen?” I asked her.
“I wanted to be an adventurer. And, You don’t ask a woman her age. But I’ll forgive this once. I’m not so old. Only 600 or something.” She replied.
“600!?!”
“Stop making it sound like it’s so big!” She said while her face turned red from embarrassment.
“My bad! Sorry!” I apologized and bowed.
“So, that’s why you were mad when you saw seal. And you are over 800.” Zenon said. He was listening to all our conversation.
“Master, bad manners. You don’t peak on people's conversations!! And who said I’m over 800?” she again became drunkard.
“I didn’t peak. My ear listened it by mistake. No one said. Maybe you misheard someone.” He said in a joking way.
“Yea-Yea!” Ella said.
“800...” I said in low voice.
I look at Alec, who was having fun with others. That line always come into my mind.
‘The purple light will take everything from you.’
Alec, just who are you.
And then I look at ceiling. And think ‘never mind. I’ll leave that to my future self. For now, I need to sleep.’ Then I started to think about Reina, ‘I hope you are doing well, wherever you are. Rei..’
They all were lying on floor with everyone. Except for Mei and Serina. They weren't drunk.
It’s 9PM now.
“Everyone, go to rooms or houses. Good night.” Zenon said.
Only reiz raised his hand and said, “Y-Y-ES SIR.”
“Hey, serina. Can you guide us in our rooms.” I asked her.
“Sure, seji."
“Thank you.” I replied.
Alec had drunk some wine too. He was drunk and passed out.
Serina is guiding. Mei and serina are talking something.
While I look out of the windows on stairs. Without any thought. Just a blank mind.
We reach room. Which was to be given to Alec. I lay him down and followed serina to Mei's room.
“Good night!” Mei said.
“Night.” I said.
“Good night, dear.” Serina said.
My room was next.
“If you need anything you can call me. My room is next to your, seji.” Serina said.
“Oh, Okay.”
The room came. I go in room, I was going to say good night to her but.
“Something wrong?” Serina asked
“no, nothing. I’m good.” I replied.
I was standing in room.
“You can share it. I can hear it.”
“It’s about my girlfriend and my family. I wonder if they are alright.”
“It's alright. They will be fine.”
“Yea, Hopefully. Night.”
“Good night.” She said and went to her room.
I went to bed. My eyes couldn’t hold the tears in anymore. Tears started to fall. I just put my hand on my head and don’t know when I was asleep...

8 209Resistance is Futile
Resistance is Futile 2336 G-L32 is my title. I go G’ell though, pronounce it how you like, it doesn’t matter. I was born, like the rest of the human race this era, with my abilities. I can manipulate the world around me, using the Strand to do it, looks like the old telekinesis “superpowers” the old humans used to entertain themselves with. As of only recently, within the last 20 years, the Ul’Katoin ripped open space to take our planets. However, they didn’t expect our resistance. They are stronger than us, faster, and far, far more adaptable and enduring. Humanity however, can use technology. Wherever they lay their roots, we burn them away with plasma and radiation. But where we lay down our foundations in their world, they snuff out our light with their vines and tendrils. And with The Jhar Empyrean and other space-faring empires keeping their borders tight, we have nowhere else to expand to. Humanity finds a way, and our soldiers will bring the fury of a Nebulean storm upon the Hellscape the Ul’Katoin call home. And I am one of those soldiers.

Every click counts. Remember that. Everything you post on the internet may be deleted, but once someone sees it, there's no turning back. Take Gigi Vloski, your typical weird teenager, aka me, for example. Everything is normal, or as normal as it could ever be. There's the annoying 'ex best friend turned to mortal enemy'. There's my freakiest brother who calls pranking a type of affection. And then there's the stepmother who loves my brother so much she never listens to me. But my life takes a turn with just an unexpected click. A click that changed me and my whole world forever. • • • •"Your video got a million hits!" He yelled, making my eardrums burst. I gave him a puzzled look. He facepalmed. "You got a million hits on YouTube!" he said with a hopeful look, hoping I would know the thing I really don't know. "Not ringing any bells." I muttered and shook my head.• • • •all rights reserved 2013-2014.
