《Shadow’s World》Chapter 3. Sigh My Progeny
Advertisement
After the story, all you can hear is “Waah the little doggie die why did it have to die. Wahh,” The two kids are crying their eyes out. The two morons weren’t any better. They were wiping their eyes with their sleeves and trying to hide their tears. Man, they are such children. Or maybe I am so great that any story I make can move people. I am the greatest being that has ever lived. I give them a minute to calm down. The kids have stopped crying and the adults have a worried look on their face. “Time for me to have some fun. You see that snake over there, you two morons attack it. You have five attacks and if you cannot give it a scratch on one of its scales, then I would let you go free. If not, I will kill you.” In a squeak “um even if you give us a billion years, I doubt we could scratch that thing. Can you please give an easier task, mister?” “Call me, shadow, and get to work, or else I will make it attack!” Both “Yes Sir!!” I wave my hand. “I will be nice. You guys can make a plan on how to attack the Cobra.”
They turn at each other and walk to the corner to discuss a plan. I gathered the children and got them to sit down next to me. “Where are your parents?” I asked. The little girl replies, “They are on an important mission to fight the Jeonglyeong. They left us with some people from the resistance, but someone captured them and we escape. We are hiding out in their territory because they wouldn’t think to look for us here. Without you we would give a bracelet and ship to the outside, to work for the Jeonglyeong as slaves. So thank you, mister, for helping us out.” The little girl grabs my arm and cries.

“That sounds retarded. You guys are technology advance you do not need human slaves. Right now machines are 100% superior to anything a human can do. No, the reason they have you guys in slaves is that they are afraid of you. The fairy users are stronger in their advanced stages of life and the Jeonglyeong is stronger in their early life. Around ages, 25-30 fairy users become stronger than the Jeonglyeong. They are lying to you guys and you guys brought it. You are children, so it is ok that you do not know how the world works. Also, are your parents black as well?” “Yes, we all look like we come from the same family.” “Um that shouldn’t be possible but I will look into it later.”
Seeing the kid’s faces after learning that the reason Jeonglyeong hunted them was a lie made me sigh. Not wanting to look at the children's faces anymore, I turn back to the morons. They were still discussing how to beat the King Cobra. “Hey, you two I will give you a hint. If there isn’t a way to scratch the snake, I love art. Entertain me and I will let you go.” Let’s see if they understand the hint I have given them.
With surprise looks on their faces, they turn back and talk again. “Hey, I will live forever but I have things to people to meet and things to destroy, so stop talking and fight the snake.” The first guy steps up. He summons a fire whip and hits the snake. Boom! What a weak attack without even needing the dust to settle, there is no way for that attack to hurt the snake. The guy sighs after seeing his attack does no damage. He then summons lightning arrows and tries to make a song. buzz, buzz, buzz buzz, buzzed. Man, what a lousy attempt, he must have no musical talent. I wave my hand and he falls to the ground. He drops like a bag of bricks, causing everyone to have a worry look on their faces. “Hey, I didn’t kill him. Everyone stopped looking at me like I killed him. I made him faint because his music was so bad. My god do you guys think I am evil enough to kill someone when they have another chance. Dude, it is your turn the do not disappoint or I will kill you both.”

He walks up. Tap, tap, tap. He tapes his foot. Clap, clap, clap. What is this crazy person doing? I scratch my head? The idiot dances, he makes a fire whip and hits the cobra in a steady beat. He then sprays water in the air and the cobra gets into the dance. It shoots different lights green, red, yellow, etc… The kids clap to the beat and dancing alone. Looks like these two get to live another day. The dude dances for a good five minutes and fell to the floor. The kids give him a round of applause, but then they look at my face. The room grows cold as I walk to the moron. Smiling, “That was a great job you save both of your lives. Congratulations here are your reward.” I snap my fingers and they disappear. The kids look in horror and the little girl demands, “You promise you wouldn’t kill them! What did you do?” “Hey calm down little kids, I didn’t kill them. I sent them into the ocean to force them to swim back. They shouldn’t have attacked me. Who do they think they are? I am a fair guy but not a nice one. You guys, I have another surprise to show you.” The King Cobra leaves and a green Chinese dragon break opens the door. “Hey, you could have waited outside you didn’t have to break open the door.” “I do not care that you are happy to see me do not break stuff as you please. Little kids are here and they cannot rescue themselves if the building collapses on top.”
“Surprise! Man stupid dragon. Now, you two get on the dragon so we can get out of here. This building is depressing. I need to go outside.” The dragon moved his head out of the doorway and the children ran outside and got a good look at his snake-like body. The little boy asks, “Cool! Is he your fairy?” “No, stop asking about my fairy and get on the dragon little boy.” The dragon rose into the air. “Um, will not be cold up here?” Ask the brat. “No, you are on a wind dragon not only can they control the elements, but they can also control the temperature. Stop asking me questions and look below. There is no way for your kids to fall like I said before this dragon can control the wind. He will not let to your fall.” The city lights brighten up the ground. It was a beautiful sight from the air, the reds, greens, and other different colors of the lights. I need to remind myself to paint a picture of this event. “Kids get some sleep tonight tomorrow and the rest of your lives will hectic, enjoy this peaceful night because it might be your last.” The kids fell asleep it is time for me to visit the next one.

Criminals from around the world are summoned by "God" to climb to the top of the Tower of Opportunity, in which they can do whatever they please and gain powers and abilities beyond their wildest dreams, the only caveat being that their lifespan has been reduced to 3 months and every floor conquered gives each conqueror another two week extension to their lifespan.
