《An unknown world》Chapter 3: Second Encounter into the Other World
Advertisement
Upon reaching home from school, Barry brought his school bag upstairs into his room to revise on the subjects that the subject teachers have taught them for about 3 hours.
After having done so, he then spends the entire day holed up in his room reading newspapers and magazines that were stored in his room a long time ago before he turns it into his room.
It used to be an old storage room in the past. But now, a storehouse had been built. So, Barry took out most of the junk out of the room and store it there. That is because he used to sleep on the sofa of the living room and never had his own privacy before.
It is now 7 p.m. in which Barry goes downstairs to have his dinner with his parents. At 8 p.m., he goes back upstairs to pack up his bag to prepare for tomorrow's class. Then, he goes to brush his teeth before he hits the sack.
After having done brushing his teeth, he gently lies down on the bed.
As he turns his body to turn off the table light, which is on the right side of the bed, he notices two notes next to it.
When he moves his body closer to look at the contents of the note and reads it, his mind then recalls all the memories of what had happened this morning.
At that moment, he thought: "Will I end up in that world again?" while having second thoughts about it. He then turns off the table light and goes to sleep.
After sleeping for about 2 hours, he suddenly wakes up to find himself lying on a plain field instead of his comfy bed.
At first, he thought that he was sleepwalking to the front yard of the house. In fact, it turns out that he is not in his own world anymore but back to the world that he was previously brought in.
Upon realizing that he is now back into the other world again, he scans the area in panic while trying to figure out what his current situation is for now.
As he scans the area for any signs of danger, he finds a figure that he recognizes when he first came here.
The figure has two medium-sized blunt horns which are facing in front, has spiky black hair with a tint of brown, has a chiseled face, has deep-set eyes with amber eyes and has a full-figured body. He wears a black suit, which comprises a jacket and a red tie and also wears black trousers and a pair of black leather shoes. And that is Daemon.

It seems like Daemon has been sitting down next to him for quite some time. When Daemon noticed Barry has now regained consciousness, he breathed out a heavy sigh of relief from his chest and asked Barry if he is fine.
Barry gets up and says, "I'm fine, thanks." and brushes off the dust on his clothes.
After examining the surrounding area, he concludes he is now in the woods.
At the same time, he even suspects that Daemon has brought him back here once more, only to be denied by Daemon afterwards.
He even supports his denial with an alibi stating that while he was trying to make his enemies lose track of him, he suddenly finds Barry sleeping on the ground. So, he decides to drag him into the nearby woods to take shelter from the enemy's attacks. And that is how the situation ended up turning like this.
After hearing what Daemon has told him, he became even more curious on how he ended up in this world again.
Just as Barry was about to demand for more information about the current situation from him, Daemon told him to keep his mouth shut and said that they could talk about things later as they have to make a run for it now as there is no time for the time being.
After telling him that, Barry agreed and both of them fled out of the place at once.
It was in which Barry then realizes that Daemon was on his own without the princess by his side.
So, he asks Daemon about it as they were running in a hesitated manner. "Hey Daemon, I'm sorry for asking this question but where is the princess now, if I may ask? Can you please tell me what is the current situation? And also how is she doing? Is she fine?"
"How should I say this? The princess is doing just fine. The princess might have escaped from the palace to a much safer place. As of now, it is unsafe because a gang of thieves which consists of professional spell casters, a swordsman, an assassin and a sniper are targeting us which made me and the princess to split up." Daemon said this straighfowardly.
"So, I don't have the slightest clue since I lost contact with the princess.", he added.
As soon as Daemon finished talking, Barry desperately begged him to give him back his powers, to which Daemon agrees to do so. But disagrees with him when Barry said that they should work together on taking the thieves head on in a fight and to find the princess.

Daemon then reveals that the princess is actually a full-fledged spell caster who could handle multiple types of spells who is fully recognized by him as her trainer.
Upon hearing that, Barry was relief and amazed at the same time.
After that, he immediately snaps out of it and tries to convince Daemon in accepting his suggestion of pairing up to face the group of thieves head on but to no avail.
After refusing it for the second time, Daemon then raises his voice shouting, "You hard-headed freak! By using psychic powers alone won't be enough for you to stand a chance against them! Even if I accepted your suggestion, you will only be a burden and a nuisance to me in the battlefield!"
Hearing Daemon's spiteful words, Barry suddenly makes a decision out of fury which he would later regret for doing so, and that was by challenging Daemon to a duel of psychic powers versus magic powers.
To his utmost disappointment, Daemon ultimately defeated him as he beats him to a pulp by Daemon's magical powers and his sophisticated yet wondrous skills of using his powers against Barry's use of psychic power attacks. Plus, Daemon successfully evades all of Barry's close range attacks with his defense magic.
When the fight ended with Barry losing against Daemon, it is now as clear as day to him that he can't hold a candle to the group of thieves with his low-level skills in both offense and defense. He wasn't even able to land a single punch on or even a kick on Daemon with his psychic powers. This has led him to take back his own actions.
Even though Barry lost fair and square against him, Daemon still forgives him and also offers himself to become a mentor for Barry to learn about magic and stuff. Not only that, he also says that he will teach him how to use it, learn about types of magic which a user may possess and the risk level of every kind of magic powers that the user might face.
After hearing about Daemon's offer to become his mentor, he willingly accepts the offer without hesitation. It is because he has a secret agenda for accepting the offer, and that is he wants to fight with Daemon once more when their powers are on par with each other soon.
After accepting the offer from Daemon, he then suggests that they should continue running until they find a safe place for them to begin his practice.
Daemon also asked Barry to activate his invisibility powers to make themselves invisible, so that they can tiptoe under the enemy's eyes with ease. And he does just that.
After hours of hiding under the enemy's noses, they reached an old abandoned house at the top of the cliffside. From there, Barry gets an unobstructed view of the damages dealt by the bandits on the castle after his first encounter with this world.
Daemon talks about it and he reveals three days have passed since the first time he came here.
This has made Barry to realize that the time in this world flows much quicker than the time in his world. This is because he calculates it as 16 hours divided by 72 hours (3 days) equals 0.222222222222222222222222. Then, he multiplies it with 16 hours which equals 3.56. In short, it has been 3 and a half days have passed since the incident happened while in his world only 16 hours have passed.
According to Daemon, the name of the castle is Sky Castle, also known as the unmoveable and floating castle.
It is said the castle has unlimited magic running through the entire building which makes it as a target by a lot of unwanted visitors from the other side of these other world or known as the 'Netherworld'.
After witnessing the damage that was taken in by the castle by the attacks of those thieves, Barry acknowledged that their powers are no joke and it would be just like going into a suicidal war with them.
As they entered the abandoned house, the inside of the house was a complete mess because it was full of dirt, spider webs were everywhere.
There are weapons and magic books which contains many types of magic that he could learn to wield. Yet to his surprise everything inside the house, such as the furnitures, household items and kitchenware are in good condition. Plus, the rooms are a bit dusty so it only needs some spring cleaning before they could officially call it their own private magic and weaponry bunker house.
After a half an hour long minutes of cleaning up and arranging everything inside the house, it was now officially their own private bunker house and without any hesitation, Barry's training begins even without him getting any rest at all.

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]
