Alejandro is about to fall into his knees. However, he is caught by Uriel who says:
“Good job…”
“You really think so?”
“Yes...you did good…”
(CLAP CLAP CLAP)
“Splendid work Alejandro...you’ve proven yourself to be part of Yggdrasil…” Heidi claps as she walks with the other members. Shion hurries to help him; “Alejandro, your wound…”
“I’m fine...just a scratch…”
“Alejandro...you did it…” Valerie runs to hug him. Carlos looks at him with jealousy; “Damn it, why can’t it be me….” Chelsea laughs at him; “Hey...you can see him if you want to…”
“Shut up…” Carlos says with his face all red. Shion cures Alejandro’s wound; “Thank you...Ms. Shion…”
“No problem…” Shion replies with a smile. -CRACK CRACK- “Alejandro...you haven’t defeated me yet...I am still here…” Navajo says as he slowly walks towards him; “I will never stop...because...I have an objective...I…”
(SSSSLLLLAASSHHHH)
In the blink of an eye, Kasumi appears and cuts Navajo’s head off. Navajo sees his body as his head flies into the sky; “It can’t be…”
Navajo’s head falls into the ground. He slowly begins to disappear; “Sorry my brethren...I won’t be able to revive you...that Golden City...my dream...ends here…”
“It’s foolish to believe that someone could return from the dead...you know that too well…” Kasumi says as she puts her glasses on.
“I see…” Navajo looks at Alejandro and smiles thinking; “I guess, I was jealous of you...I hope that one day...I will see you aga....”
Kasumi puts her sword away as she looks at Uriel; “I applied justice to him...that’s all…” Uriel chuckles:
“Thank you, for having mercy…I would’ve tortured him a little...what a kind soul you have…”
Alejandro walks towards Anastasia; “Anastasia, are you okay?”
Anastasia slowly lifts her body and replies; “Yes...I’m okay...Master…” Alejandro hugs her and says; “Call me...Brother...because you are like my sister from now on...I will protect you…” Anastasia hugs him back; “Understood...Brother…”
On the top of the hills, El Muerto looks at them:
“I guess it was mission accomplished...however, I was too careless...see you tomorrow President…” The cape moves a little revealing green eyes under a pair of glasses.
Rosa sighs, feeling relieved; “I was so worried that Alejandro might have died…”

“You must trust him more Tia...Alejandro is a strong young man…” Flor says as she puts her hand on her shoulder.
“Alright time to go…” Alejandro stands up, he begins to shine. Heidi begins to warn him; “Alejandro, before you run out of mana, when your esper suit disappears, it also disappears your…”
(PPOOOFFF)
“What the…my clothes…” Alejandro immediately covers his man-parts.Everyone is in shock, as Alejandro is completely naked. “HAHAHA WHAT A LOSER…” Carlos laughs pointing at him. Valerie blushes, Uriel covers her eyes. “YOU PERVERT...COVER YOURSELF…” Tiwa punches Alejandro, sending him flying. Everyone begins to laugh. Uriel looks at the graveyard and thinks; “This place...it’s familiar.”
(BBBAAADDUUUMMPPP)
“Is something wrong...Big Brother?” Valerie asks Uriel, Uriel looks at her and replies; “No...everything is fine…”
On the night of March 6th, Sun City was saved from a silent invasion...nobody knew what happened in the mountains and they will never know...On that night, the last Skinwalker was defeated and at that night...the moon was witness to the birth of the Silver Hero…

March 7th, Sun City International Highschool
The next day, Alejandro had to face Olivia about the actions of the previous night…
“So, that’s how it all went down…” Alejandro finishes explaining to Olivia. Anastasia stands next to him. Olivia looks at him with a serious expression:
“You know, you put my daughter in grave danger...not only that...you also caused a ritual that could’ve caused the end of the world...that was very immature...I think I will take her back”
“I know, and I’m sorry…” Alejandro apologizes once more. Anastasia takes a step forward; “Please mother...Alejandro risked his life to save me...he deserves to be pardoned…”
Olivia looks at Anastasia talking to her like a normal person; “Anastasia...you…”
“Mother...I want to stay by his side...he promised to be my brother from now on...I want to be with him…” Anastasia holds his arm, making Alejandro nervous.
Olivia who is still in shock sighs with her eyes closed thinking; “I guess, you really are a powerful person...to have changed Anastasia like that...Aleister was right…”
“Fine, you may stay with him...on one condition…”
Alejandro looks nervous; “What condition?”
“Promise me that you will never put her in that level of danger ever again…” Olivia looks at him with a serious expression.

“I promise that I will never put her in that kind of danger again…”
“Perfect...remember, if you break that promise...I will hunt you down…” Olivia says in a joking matter.
Alejandro laughs nervously; “I understand…”

Nurse’s Office
Johanna and Kasumi drink some coffee as they talk…
“Thank you for getting M.I.S.T off our backs…”
“You’re welcome....if I hadn't intervened...you would have probably killed them right?” Johanna replies as she takes a zip from her coffee. Kasumi remembers Uriel hugging her and replies:
“No...because that would’ve been for vengeance…”
“Oh so, you remember Uriel’s words ehh...tell me, hugging him turned you on…”
“JOHANNA...NO...WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?”
“I am only saying what you are thinking...hahaha…” Johanna teases Kasumi who has her face all red.
Kasumi looks at her coffee; “Johanna...do you like your job?”
“Where did that come from?”
“I am just asking…”
Johanna looks at Kasumi and replies; “It’s not a matter if I like it or not…I have no choice..”
“I see...I guess we're the same right?” Kasumi smiles at Johanna. Johanna smiles back thinking; “No Kasumi...in truth...I hate my job…”
***************************************************************************
Sun City Mayor’s Office...
“So, Anastasia is okay huh...I’m sorry I couldn’t help, I was in an important business…” Darius Lucifugus, Mayor of Sun City and Anastasia’s father, says to Olivia.
“I understand dear...Alejandro was the one who saved her…”
“Ahh yes, that boy...he is quite the character isn’t he…”
“Indeed...he might be useful for us in the future…”
“Getting back to the subject, I heard some students are going to travel to Mexico. Am I correct?” Darius says as he sits at his desk.
“You are correct dear, there was a request from two of our teachers and I thought why not…” Olivia says as she drinks tea.
“Excellent, you see, there have been strange activities in Tenochtitlan...and I think we might have a clue about the golden city...I want you to send “them” to Mexico in one month from now...” Darius replies as he smiles.
“I understand dear, do you have some students in mind?”.” Olivia replies as she laughs.
“Yes...I want Alejandro….and “him” to go….oh, and send that teacher...the one from Yggdrasil as well...she might be useful...” Darius looks at their picture.
“Alright I am sending those but why?” Olivia asks with a confused face.
“You see Olivia, those two are perfect to find that city, I have a good hunch my dear.” Darius replies with a smile.
“Alright if you say so I'll send them.” Olivia says as she prepares to leave.
“Hold on there is one more person I would like you to send as well.” Darius says as he shows a picture of Johanna to Olivia. Olivia is left confused:
“Why her, she is just a nurse?”
“Hahaha, she is not just a nurse, she is a danger to us but she is the right person to go as the “GODS” will go crazy over there, and you might need a doctor.”
Olivia leaves the office and both of them say at the same time:
“We are Enlightened”
***************************************************************************
The Place where the Secret Hideout was…
At the place where the secret hideout was once located, there is a crater...In the crater...It is after school and Alejandro slowly made an altar for his deceased friend…
“Mr. Jairo...thank you for always being there for me...without you...I would have lost my way…” Alejandro says as he looks at Jairo’s grave.
“I see you made a grave for Mr. Jairo…” Uriel walks next to Alejandro. Alejandro replies; “Yes...I owe my life to Mr. Jairo...I just wish he could’ve lived longer you know…”
“Of course, but everyone has their time...and Jairo’s time to leave was that night.”
“I know…” Alejandro replies to Uriel. Uriel looks at the sky and says; “I’m sure he is proud of you...remember that…”
“Thank you...Uriel…”
“Now then, let’s talk about the date that you want with my sister…” Uriel puts on a serious expression. Alejandro begins to sweat:
“About that...hey I have a student council meeting...sorry gotta go…”
Alejandro runs away from Uriel:
“Oh no...now I made him mad…”
Uriel makes a fist and makes a sinister smile:
“ALEJANDRO….WAIT!”
Alejandro begins to scream:
“WHY ME!”

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!
