《New Life》Chapter 137 - A Boy’s Dream (Part 1)
Advertisement
Alaska, United States - Friday, 4th of October 2019:
There used to be a boy. He had a dream. A simple and realistic dream. A dream that is so easy to achieve. It was an innocent dream.
However, the world was not so innocent to him.
People close to him betrayed him and killed him.
And his dream ended.
They killed him but did not bury him. They kept his body in a chamber.
Sometime later, they placed something inside his dead boy. They placed the brain of a human being who has the power to rival gods inside this boy’s head.
And he started dreaming again.
There is a boy. And he is dreaming again. A simple, realistic and long dream. He dreamt and dreamt and dreamt for a long time. And now… now, he is very close to achieving this dream. He is so close. Inches away from it.
But.
But his whole world lit up with bright white light that is brighter than the very sun itself and he wakes up. He finally sees the light of the day after dreaming for a very long time.
When he wakes up, he sees people in lab coats surrounding him. He is inside a chamber.
He closes his eyes again but opens it after 5 seconds.
And as he did, everyone died around him.
He looked at himself and for the first time, he was able to move his muscles but the chamber was restricting his movement.
So, he punched it.
The chamber around him was vapourised.
He walked around the facility and saw the dead people around him.
He was not scared or anything.
He walked around and around and around. He managed to find some clothes for himself. He was now wearing black trousers, a white t-shirt and a grey blazer.
He wore them and vanished into thin air.
He reappeared on a beach. He looked around and it was in the morning. He teleported to another beach. However, it was dark. So, he moved around until he found one beach he liked.
And he finally found it. He stood on the sandy beach and watched the sunset.
And then he smiled. It was a very wide smile.
“This is something out of my dream.”
London:
At the other side of the world, another human with godly powers opened his eyes.
“Ah, you are finally awake,” Solace said.
Nazar sat up and took a deep breath.
“You are going to be late.”
“Late for what?” Nazar sounded confused.
“Your date?”
“I thought that was a joke.”
He sighed.
“Oh well...”
“You have 30 minutes left.”
He lied back.
“Too long.”
“You should get a shower and wear clean clothes.”
He got up.
He sighed again.
“Fine.”
He took a shower and wore the clothes Solace had given him.
He was wearing blue jeans and a grey shirt.
“You have two minutes, Nazar.”
“I can teleport, remember?”
“Sigh. You should go there a little earlier. It will be good.”
“I see.”
He teleported out and appeared in front of Laura’s accommodations.
A bit of telepathy and illusion manipulation just to make sure no one notices him.
He looked around and took a deep breath.
As he was looking around, someone tapped him on the back.
He looked around and it was Laura.
“What if this was not me?”
She gave him a black look.

“Anyway, I thought you would be wearing all black so I wore this.”
“I see.”
“So, shall we go?”
“Yeah, but where. I can just tele--”
“No. We are doing something far normal today. And also, just turn off your powers.”
Nazar thought about it for a minute.
“Okay.”
He turned off his powers.
“Okay, we are taking a bus.”
“Haven’t done that in a while.”
They got on a double-decker bus and went upstairs. There was no one in the upper deck of the bus.
They sat down and talked.
“Can we get food first? I am hungry.”
“Why are you always hungry.”
“The thing is… I can’t be hungry if I wanted to… but I really like food. So...”
“Anyway, how are you?”
“I am good. What about you?”
“Good… I guess.”
“Still worried about uni?”
“Yep.”
“I can help you with that.”
“How?”
“I can tutor you if you want.”
“Okay. But are you sure you know what you are doing?”
“Yeah. I am 100% sure. I can ‘know’ anything I want.”
“Isn’t your power so convenient?”
Nazar just shrugged.
After a while, they reached a restaurant. They ate food. Then took a ride in the London Eye.
While they were riding in the London Eye, Laura’s eyes were wide open as she looked around.
“Holy shit… it looks awesome from high up. Especially near the sunset.”
“Do you want to go even higher?”
“Not now. Maybe some other time.”
She took out her phone and started taking pictures.
Nazar touched it and the quality of the camera changed significantly.
“Hm?”
“Phone cameras are shit. But I changed it. So, the picture quality from this will be the same as the quality of a photo taken using a professional camera.”
Even though they were talking out loud, the people around them could not hear them.
“Ah, I see.”
She took a picture and it looked much better.
“Oh, wow! It really is much better.”
“Told you.”
After a while, the got off and went to watch a movie.
“I hate horror films.”
“What, you get scared that easily?”
“No. I don’t get scared that easily. Its just I don’t like them.”
“I see. Well, no one likes you.”
“Ouch!”
“I am joking… I think.”
“Stop rubbing salt on my wounds.”
Laura laughed.
“I thought you healed fast?”
“Yeah, physically...”
She pinched his cheek.
“Oh, someone is sad.”
They both laughed.
After halfway through the movie, the left and started watching another film.
They ordered some drinks.
“You can get drunk?”
Nazar nodded.
“Nice.”
“I don’t see the appeal of drinking… but oh well.”
“I don’t see the appeal of you but here we are.”
“Ouch.”
“You know I am joking, right?”
“Oh, I don’t know about that...”
“You know I love you, right?”
“I am not so sure about that anymore...”
She wrapped her arm around Nazar’s shoulder.
“Can you not see--”
“Oh hi, Laura.”
Laura looked back and saw someone familiar.
“Oh hi, Mark.”
Nazar turned around and had no idea who it was.
“What are you doing here?”
“Having a drink with my boyfriend.”
“Ah, yes. I...uh… can see that. Haha.”
“Are the others here as well?”

“Yeah. Well, we said we will go drinking and then you bailed on us...” Mark then looked at Nazar “... but I can see why.”
“I see. Well… We were not planning on coming here but it was close.”
“So, are you not going to introduce him to us?”
Nazar turned on his powers.
“Yeah… well...”
Laura scratched her head and then looked at Nazar.
She then touched her head.
Mark looked confusingly between the two of them.
(“Just come up with a name. You are making this very awkward.”)
(“Shut up! I know.”)
Nazar took a deep breath and turned around.
He looked at the guy and was about to say something but…
(“Don’t!”)
(“Hm?”)
(“I told them you have an extreme case of anxiety disorder and cannot even talk to people.”)
(“I have… or had anxiety issues. But it was not extreme.”)
(“Shut up!”)
He smiled at the guy. It was a very awkward smile and it seemed very forced. Then some sweat poured down his face.
It was not real. It was just an illusion.
“H-h-h-h-h-h-ello...M-m-m-my n-n-n-na--”
“His name is… uh… Tony.” She finally relaxed a little. “His name is Tony.”
(“Tony? Seriously?”)
(“I know.”)
Nazar just looked the other way around.
(“Leave!”)
Nazar inserted that command inside Mark’s mind. And he left.
“Phew. That was...”
“Tony? Really?”
“I don’t know… I just thought of Iron Man and I was like ‘Tony’.”
“Wait, why did you not say my real name?”
“...”
Laura looked around and then took a sip of her drink.
“Um… you didn’t answer...”
“Ahhhh! I know. Stop rubbing salt on my wounds,” she said as she frantically scratched her head.
“Who is he anyway?”
Nazar took a long sip as he listened to Laura.
“Long story short… on the first day of being at the accommodations, I was making myself some food and he came up to me and said that he likes me. And asked me on a date.”
And he immediately spat out his drink.
“What…*cough*... the hell?”
“I know, right?”
She sighed.
“That is why I am trying to avoid him.”
“That’s gotta hurt.”
“Shouldn’t you be happy?”
“I am… but I have seen some animes where something similar happens. And I kind of feel sorry for him.”
She gave him a blank look.
And then sighed.
After a few minutes, they left the bar because it was getting awkward.
They started walking in the middle of the night.
“Holy shit, it is already 1?! What the hell?”
“Yeah. we wasted so long on the food and then the movie was very, very long.”
“It is because we watch two movies.”
“Oh yeah? And whose fault is that?”
“Well… I do like horror films but it was not to my liking. It was not horror enough, you feel me?”
Nazar sighed.
“Ah, it's late. Most of the buses don’t operate at this time. Want me to teleport you to your accommodations?”
“No.”
“Hm?”
“Let’s go to your house and have fun.”
“Cool.”
She stopped walking and Nazar stopped as well.
“What’s wrong?” He asked in a confused tone.
“I just noticed… you are far more comfortable with this relationship that you used to be.”
Nazar smiled.
“When I was on the moon, I just thought that it was stupid to be this awkward in a relationship. So, I thought, why not be more comfortable and… well, here we are.”
“This is disappointing… I thought I would have more fun with you.”
She smiled.
“But this is much better.”
“Hey, do you want to do something?”
“Hm?”
Nazar held out his hand.
“Do you want to fly?”
“Hm?”
“Fly a little. Look around and then we can go home.”
“Okay, but you get to princess carry me.”
“Okay but you get to close your eyes.”
Laura thought about it for a minute.
She smiled and closed her eyes.
He picked her and up and flew.
Of course, no one noticed them.
They flew up and up.
“How high are we going?”
“Just a little further.”
After a few seconds, they reached their ‘distination’.
“Okay, now you can open your eyes.”
She opened her eyes immediately.
“Aahhh!!”
They were outside of Earth now and she was looking directly towards the sun. So, as soon as she opened it, she was looking directly at the sun.
“What the fuck?”
“Ah, my bad. That was not my intention.”
“So, why did you bring me here?”
Nazar gave her a confused look.
“Well, look at the view in front of you. Is it not beautiful?”
“Well… it certainly is. But why?”
“Just wanted to show it to you again.”
“Ah, I see.”
They stayed there for a while before teleporting out.
Heaven:
All the fallen angels were now settled in Heaven. The took their original place and lived as nothing had happened.
However, they were celebrating their new found freedom.
They seemed all so happy now.
Aarin was floating above heaven. And she was not using her wings. She was floating under her own power. She can do so much more than she could before. And more than that, she no longer needs to cast spells to do certain things, like reading minds.
Lucifer appeared next to her.
“Are you sure about this?”
“Yes. This is where the angels belong. Not matter if they angels or fallen angels. They are still angels.”
“I see… But it's up to you now. You can kick them out if you want. This is your realm now.”
Aarin nodded.
“And what did you mean by ‘they’? What about you?”
“I am leaving. I existed before heaven. So, it was never my place.”
“I see. But where are you going to go?”
“I have no idea...”
“You can stay here too.”
“As I said earlier, I don’t belong in heaven.”
“And do you have the power to stay alive?”
“You know I can’t die, right?”
“Hm?”
“I am absolute immortal. Like that human friend of yours.”
“But he does die--”
“It is because he wants to. That’s what the Nameless One said anyway.”
“Ah, I see.”
He smiled.
He was about to teleport out, but…
“Wait!”
“Hm?” Lucifer said confusingly.
He held him by his collar and pulled him closer.
Lucifer thought she was going to attack him.
But…
Instead, she kissed him.
Lucifer was beyond surprised and confused.
“Uh…?”
She smiled and let him go.
Lucifer then teleported out.

Core Chronicles
Core Chronicles is a series of interrelated stories, including in-depth major story arcs and shorter side stories about Cores and those affected by them through direct and indirect means. The first arc is planned to be Dungeon Core with City Building elements in an Urban Fantasy setting. It will mainly follow one main character's point of view, but on occasion, the POV may shift to side characters to give more information about what is happening in the wider world. The stories will also examine how the world changes with the introduction of magic and its various purposes. The System will be between soft and crunchy, with discrete levels and stats for characteristics and skills. But, for example, the health statistic will be a less clear indicator rather than a distinct stat.
