《My power is actually really OP you know》7. The Elder thing stories - 3
Advertisement
It seems the good luck charm actually brings good luck.
While I was walking on the street fiddling with the new charm, suddenly a black car that was passing me suddenly stops.
From the car, a woman in nun habit walks out.
"You there, miserable man, what are you doing here?"
"Me?" I point at myself.
"Yes you. You are still young, why are you wasting it like this? Come on, come with me, let see if we have something for you."
"Me?"
I want to point at myself again, but hey that is actually quite nice. It seems the good luck charm actually works. I pocket the charm, following the nun in the black car.
In the front there was a driver, an old man in his 50, but he didn't even look at us. The man looks coolly in front of him. Slowly but surely, the car leaves the city limit. At first, it seems suspicious, but then I rationalize that there is a new church built on the other side of town.
It is not like they can hurt me more than I hurt myself by limiting my power usage.
However, my power is too OP for me to use to give myself a nice life. It couldn't be helped. I could live like this as long I continue. If that power was to awaken again, it would be just like that one time. Everything got out of hand quite quick and I didn't even know how to stop it except for using my power again. And if I actually used my power to stop cascading effect back then, who know what side effect would happen. It would just lead to a death spiral for everyone with the next successful usage of my ability requiring another use of my power to contain.

So after I use my power for the first time, I stop and let things sort itself out. It didn't end badly actually, but it is not quite how I would like. Still, I can't take away their freedom.
Sister Ansa was actually nice, suddenly she introduces me as a yard sweeper to the coven.
A coven of exactly two people.
"Where is everyone else?" I ask
"You don't need to know, just do your job." The other sister, Anja told me. Alright, alright, I get it. Don't need to get so hostile.
At least it is a church- wait...
There is a graveyard behind the church. Some people consider it a spiritually pure faith to be buried next to a church. Pure or not, the mortician has a job. However, this mortician is extraordinary. One can say he is super even.
I was cleaning the yard for the past few weeks or so before I see him.
A man in a black trench coat.
"Hello Mr. Lex"
I wave at him offhandedly
The man pauses for a moment.
"...how did you know my name?"
"We met at the hospital."
I say offhandedly. There was some recognition in his eyes. It couldn't be helped it, we only met one in this timeline after all.
"Ah, you are the person from back then. Sorry about that." He hurriedly fixes his clothes and gesture.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I found a job as a sweeper. The kind sister picks me up. It is so hard finding a job lately."
"I see." He says. And then, a sense of deja vu rose up in me as Mr. Lex comes closer and whispers
"You are a good man, I don't want anything to happen to you so I will tell you this. Watch yourself okay? I will be back later this week with a few friends. You should be careful until then."

With a clap. The man walks away.
"Well then. That's it from me. Good bye for now."
I look at the man walking away thinking, this literally happened before.
A few days later, after Mr. Lex has left, it seems anxiety has settled deep inside sister Ansa's mind. She and sister Anja are always discussing something. One day, suddenly, they call me over.
It is also the day that I found that my good luck charm from the Elder things society has disappeared. There are only three people here, I already know who took it.
"-,you. You have done a good job lately cleaning the yard. The basement of the church is dirty too, so could you go down there and clean it up."
I just realize that they never bother to learn my name while I was working there.
"Alright."
When I got down to the basement, suddenly the door from upstair slam shut.
Ah damn, how could this happen to me? I'm trapped
