《Making of a Gentleman》Chapter-27: Secrets
Advertisement
Suddenly he heard a voice from beside “Your mom is safe don’t worry. She will be in your home within an hour.”
John couldn’t help but curse in his head ‘Uncle Peter, don’t sleep talk OK’
Peter saw strange look on John’s face but didn’t understand He simply pointed his finger to Jake’s mobile.
John hurriedly took Jake’s mobile and saw a message ‘OK boss we will safely return her home ,within a hour’
For John everything looked so out of real. He slapped himself several times to make sure he was not dreaming and laughed out loud. He was happy but bewildered at the same time. His whole concept of villains changed overnight so ,he was still in the middle of processing everything.
Peter calmly watched John from the sides. He was like Dara and Jaden , who was searching for the mysterious object and travelled from place to place ,person to person but unlike them he was here to protect the owner of the microchip and rarely killed anyone in the process.
Peter suddenly had a vague hunch that John was different but didn’t know how . He decided to just probe his soul to make sure everything alright. But just when his soul entered John ,he was shocked senseless by the defense mechanism . His soul was repulsed back without giving him any chance to probe.
[Warning! Warning! User your soul had been attacked by outside ]
John was snapped out of his daze by the system and became perplexed . He just blurted out “soul attack?”
Peter who was stunned earlier was taken back . He got up suddenly and said “How do you know soul attack? Tell me which part of Devata realm are you from? Are you looking for the same mysterious object?”
John had no idea what was going on “Uncle Peter ,what are you talking about? Devata realm? Mysterious object ? Are you still sleep talking?”
Peter didn’t reply .He simply studied John for a while, his eyes brightened every moment . His body shuddered for a moment . He became excited beyond control .

John who confused by the strange development . He opened his mouth to ask if Peter needed some help to go to nearby hospital but in the next instant his jaw dropped to the floor.
Peter knelt in front of him with is fist on his chest “Greetings ,young master”
John stood up immediately and asked in a worried voice “Uncle Peter ,what is going on here?”
Peter stood up slowly and closed the door of office . He made sure all security cameras were disconnected. Finally he stood in a corner and asked calmly
“Young master ,have you recently encountered a mysterious object ?”
John couldn’t help shudder at this question. ‘How did he know? I can’t answer this question otherwise I will be dead’
[Dear user , I have scanned the opposite party and found no malicious intention. You can be truthful this time]
John felt like he was out of death Jaw . He sat down slowly and drank some water and asked “How did you know?”
Peter’s eyes glowed brilliantly . He couldn’t help but laugh out loud . He slammed his first to a nearby wall like a beast on drug. After a long time ,he controlled his emotion.
“Young master , you have no idea how long I am searching for you. Its been 657 years since I came to lower realm. Finally you showed up.”
John could still feel that Peter’s body was shivering with excitement. He suddenly felt like he no longer understood anything . “657 years? Do you think I am a kid ?Uncle Peter , seems like you have overslept. Wake up already, do you want me to slap you to wake you up?”
Peter chuckled in response “Young master ,it is normal for you to not to believe me. Let me explain properly . Do you know who was the creator of you microchip?”
John shook his head .Other then knowing him as a wise man and his virtual master .He had no idea.

Peter was satisfied by the reply “Before I tell his identity ,it is important to understand few things first. I am sure you have heard a saying , a person’s eyes are doors to his soul. This seemingly simple line holds key to higher realms.
Everything you are seeing now is just a limitation imposed by order of lower realm . Your eyes can see much more than this but to do that the powers hidden inside your soul need to be awakened . Have you ever wondered why the universe is pitch black .Scientists here call it as dark matter , dark force and what not! But in fact Universe is extremely colorful ,only our eyes are fooling us.
Galaxies , planets you see in telescope including your solar system are just considered as lower realm in the vast universe. The one above this realm is called Devata Realm , that’s where I came from and that’s where you belong.”
John was shocked ‘To think that all along we are all partially blind in a lower realm is hard to digest .’
Peter continued “It is important to understand that not anyone can enter a higher realm . When a person dies in a lower realm like Earth ,his souls will travel to the first realm gate and tested on accumulated Karma . If the requirements of the realm gate is fulfilled then it will give access to Devata Realm otherwise he would be recycled back to lower realms where he would be reborn again.
When he enters Devata Realm, his hidden soul powers will be unlocked and he could be able to see much more than in lower realms. There is no end to this cycle . According to some legends ,Devata Realm also is not the final destination for souls. It is said that when a person meets certain conditions his soul would be able to enter another unknown higher realm gate where his Karma is tested again to give access to that Realm. Depending on the soul’s Karma a soul could travel to endless higher realms in the vast universe.”
John asked instinctively “Uncle Peter , are you saying that ideally a soul a can travel something like, lower realm -realm gate-higher realm- realm gate -even higher realm and so on.”
Peter Praised John’s comprehension with a smile but his expression became solemn as he came to main matter
“Young master ,your master is missing in Devata realm for 1000 years and it is widely rumored that his soul had already entered another higher realm. As a result everyone in the Devata realm became agitated ,they wanted to know the method used by your master but rumor has it that even people closest to your master didn’t know.
All they know was your master left behind a mysterious object in lower realm that has clues to higher realm. Many people are already looking for this object for thousands of year in every inhabitable planet of lower realm but no one has been lucky so far.
I can’t believe I could encounter you like this . You might be wondering now ,why I am not making a move to snatch it from you . Aha..aha..you don’t have to worry I am also from the same school as your master.”
John started to have cold sweat when he learned everyone is after his microchip . Its not that he was unwilling to give but the moment any attempt is made to remove the object ,it would explode . John finally understood ‘ Everything comes with a price after all.’
“Uncle Peter tell me something about Devata realm?” John was itching to know more about Devata realm all along but due to his low level his system unable to satisfy his curiosity. Finally he had a chance to know ,how can he let go.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances.

Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy!

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
