《Kindled Spirits》Chapter 5: The Sisters of Yin and Yang
Advertisement
The twins are too fast! They are too powerful for me. They even nullified my gun’s damage! How did it have to come to this! Uber’s gonna land the final strike near my heart. This is it! I’m gonna die!!!
*Slap!*
“Wake up sleepyhead! Time to train you like there is no tomorrow! What are you even dreaming about?”
“W-why are you here?”
“Don’t you remember? You asked me to train you defeat the twins.”
“Whatever! Just let me get my weapons”
“I’ll be waiting outside.”
What happened? I distinctly remember being stabbed by Uber, was it just a nightmare or a glimpse of what to come. Enough of worrying I got to get my weapons and train before they arrive, or else that will really happen to me.
I looked at my chest and got the Hades Enternum. It will be my main weapon for we will be battling in the skies. I also got the glitched sword to help at keeping them at a distance as well.
“Okay I’m ready!”
“You said you got a Wyvern mount, and a Hades Enternum so they will be you go-to weapons for the battle. The twins are all about speed so you better have an aim of a sharpshooter. The two share similar weapons but have different degree of power. Prisma uses a staff while Uber have a scythe. They use it similarly, first they back up, and then, they lunge a sword or a magic bullet straight at your face.”
“Try to get in your mount and fly up to the sky. I’ll be summoning disks that you need to hit.”
I got up in my mount and done everything that she said. She shot a disk out of her gun (Game logic man)

that I failed to hit. It was moving fast and the bumpiness of the mount make it much more harder to hit it.
We tried and tried until I got the hang of it. She decided that it is enough to kill the two, she gave me three health potions to use if, only if I get destroyed by the two.
“Good luck, and may the Kindled spirit be with you!”
“I never got to ask your name.”
“Oh right, how rude of me. My name is Mira, and you?”
“Andromeda, Andromeda Fushigiwa.”
“Nice name you got there Galaxy! Anyways smell ya later!”
She teleported back home while I get to the job at hand. I went back home, drink some water and waited for the feed to appear.
The twins think you are just a mere mortal. Show em’ what ya got!
Here goes nothing! With a flash of light that signaled that they are in my area I summoned my mount and flew into the skies. I readied my gun and aimed for the warrior first, her powerful attacks and speed makes her a good first target.
The Twins: Humans are such a weak race. Especially you mortal! We’ll show you true power!
With that marked the start of the battle I aimed my gun which Uber dodged. She was fast alright but not as fast as my mount! We danced in the skies as light and dark flashed through the land as we battle to our deaths
Uber teleported behind me and tried to stab me I let out my sword and parried her every slash. I was about to back up until a wall of light appeared behind me. So this is what they are planning? They are tougher than Amp I’ll say that in the least!

The Twins: Fool! You, a mere mortal tries to oppose two goddesses? We’ll end this, right here, and right now!
A Sphere of light suddenly appear which signaled their most powerful move, “Cataclysm”. I just need to get in the right spot before getting ripped to shreds by the two. Mira also included that in their most powerful move they are the most vulnerable to attacks. Pretty ironic if you asked me.
I aimed my gun at Uber and shot her out of the sky! Oh, we are in the skies… Now with only Prisma left the only thing that I need is this sword. I need to level this thing up, for it can be a versatile weapon later on in the game.
I slashed and slashed as I moved closer to Prisma, while also dodging all of her attacks. When I got closer I slashed her with my sword until she disappeared out of thin air. I was victorious!
The Twins: We will be back! Count on it!
Huh, they said that they will be back. No loot to be found either. I was all just a waste of time and resources!
The sky above you clears. You are no longer affected by the twins curse. Your head starts to get blasted by unknown memories, you quickly recognize it as a memory of the past. A part of the world’s secret…
Andromeda has achieved Curse Breaker
King : Looks like another newbie broken the curse.
Ultor: You only just started your journey little one, a path of mystery is still ahead.
Rein: Ahahahahaha! Noob!
Ophelia: Stop that Rein…
Mira: Welcome to the big game kid.
Is that global chat? I thought this game had nothing to do with that. It only focuses on survival at the first part but becomes a real RPG after you defeat the first 3 bosses. That’s a cool idea!
Chapter 1:
The start of the adventure ahead
“Hey galaxy, you’ve unlocked leveling, quests, guilds and many more.”
“What is this galaxy thing all about! Seriously it’s kinda irritating”
“Your name is a galaxy right? That’s why I’m calling you that.”
“Just give me a breather okay?”
“Okay, sleepyhead.”
