Chapter 4 - READY FOR THE JOURNEY

"Uhhmm... Can both of you please let go now?... it's getting awkward now..." Kamilla felt the awkwardness for she never liked being hugged by anyone, but the two doesn't mind her. "I said... Stop hugging me and let go!?" She got pissed off by them and then pulled each of their ears to let her go. "Sto..stop..please.." "Sorry..we're sorry little Milla, please let go..." They both felt the pain, even though Kamilla didn't use too much force. "Why did you pinched our ears so tight?! Aw... Aw…" "Little Milla... That's too much!?.."

*Oh?... Ahh! Yeah... I forgot.. I have awakened a super-powerful godlike level now... Since I have a Special-Type Magai that I still don't know all its abilities and limits, but all I know is that I can adapt all types of Magai ability and just like in-game, all my statistics and level are all extremely unknown... Feels like I'm a cheater now..* "Anyways.. Where is that little kid?" "Little Dan? He was locking himself inside my room, just barely eating his food." "Is that so.." *Well.. we can't help him since he lost his mother yesterday... And he is still not recovering from it... Guess I need to talk to these two first..* "okay... Let's have a private talk on the Dining Area, right now..." "Okay!" "Copy that." The three then headed towards the dining area.

"Now, do the two of you have some questions before we proceed?" Kamilla already knew that the two are now confused seeing her alive and safe, so the two immediately replied. "I'm still confused as to how can you survive for almost a day outside with lots of zombie walkers everywhere?" "Yeah, and what did you find? How did you come back so very safe without any wounds or scars?" "And what's with that new outfit? Where did you get that?" "How come you don't have any weapons or materials with you as if you were just going out and having a walk outside?" "How-" "Enough... I'll explain everything, so please listen carefully and no more questions after that.…"

So Kamilla explained to them what happened during her scout and what did she found. "Here, look…" She then summoned out those weapons, boxes of medicines, tools and lots of foods coming from her left hand. The two were got surprised and couldn't believe what they have seen in front of them. "Omo!? Omo!? What is that?! Her Hand summoned out all of these?! Is it power? Or one of your inventions?" Alex gave a shocking Korean style expression. "Is that really possible?! Am I dreaming? Little Milla, is this just like on video games? Having skills or ability?" Brother Jonathan got shocked but he still wanted to clarify it.

"Yes, it's like in the video games, but this power is very difficult to control, only for those people who have strong and determination can have this ability.." "So that means you have some kind of power, and not all of us can have it? That's awesome!" "I couldn't also believe it, but since I saw it with my own two eyes then that means I am not dreaming." They both seemed to get into the ability thing and still couldn't move on. "Say, do we also have some kind of powers too?" Alex asked in a very optimistic way. "That I don't know, again, like I said not all people will have this kind of ability what I called Magai. But I have a method for you to get one." "If there's a 50 percent chance that we have that ability, then we will gladly risk that chance just to protect and help you my little Milla." *Big Brother Jonathan is fired up since he is the eldest among us here, he must be thinking for us to survive and wanted to take the responsibility of being a Father like in our group... Don't worry brother, I'll help you awaken your power and let us all survive in this new apocalyptic world.* Kamilla felt so happy to be with her big brother.

"… Since both of you are eager to awaken your Magai, then you must be prepared to what are the consequences...Let me help you.." "Really? Are we really also having power too?" "What do you mean help little Milla?" "Just follow my instructions and don't keep asking questions. It's wasting our time if we keep on talking. After 4 days from now, even if you still can't awaken your Magai, we will still start our journey, but it's better if you can awaken it sooner.." Kamilla told them what she planned. *I still don't know if these two can awaken their Magai, but since they were happy about it, then I'll do what I can just to help them. I never expected that I could see three Yellow Magic Orb when I was scouting back then, and since these Yellow-Magic Orbs are still rare these days, it must be my luck to have these. But that also means that the undead beings were also growing so very fast. We must be ready and continue to enhance our Magai too.* The three arrived at the storage area, where the room is in an empty space and its best for their meditating time.

"Now, you must follow my instructions and rules. First, sit down in a meditating position and relax your body. Here, each of you has one Yellow Magic Orb. Use this to awaken your Magai by swallowing it whole. And then after that, you must endure the pain inside your body, while meditating your soul and body calmly. Third, focus all your senses, don't get too distracted by your surroundings and find the light particles within your spiritual soul. And then absorb the Magic Orb into those light particles, it will take time to awaken your Magai, so don't even tried to get too much pressure and don't push yourself too much, for the magic orb will consume your blood and you will transform into like them undead person.." *Even though this method is quite risky and painful, but having 50% of success will be enough to them and its better to used this method into them. Now, gotta talk to that little kid..*

Kamilla headed her way into Dan's room. (Knock, knock.) "Hey kid it's me... Do you remember? I'm a friend of your mom, and she has a message for you. Can I come in?" "My mom? Where is she?" "Uhmm?….. Can you please open the door first?" Dan slowly open the door and let Kamilla come in, then they both sat down on the floor. *this kid... His life will be miserable if he will keep on mourning here alone and distance himself away..* Kamilla felt the sad expression in her eyes. "What's your name?" "I'm Dan Jones..." "Dan Jones... Hmm.." *I heard that name before...!! What?! don't tell me he is the son of Teacher Rico Jones?! The one my teacher keeps on looking everywhere? His Dad is a great friend of mine... Things are getting interested right now that I have returned...* Kamilla remembered her Teacher Rico back then when they were together. "Do you know General Rico Jones?" When Kamilla asked him, Dan immediately got shocked. "He is my dad! How did you know him? My dad is working as an Army, and he depart 6 years ago. Are you also working in the Army? Who are you?"

"Well, actually your dad is a teacher of mine. He taught me martial arts, Judo, and other defense and offense attack, he is my best teacher too..." "Yeah! He really is and he also told me that when dad will come back home, he will also teach me those martial arts too! I want to be like him someday." Dan felt more comfortable now and relax when he talks about his dad. They both spent their time talking and laughing to each other just to calm Dan's mind. "Say, kid. I don't know how to say this, but your mom-" "I know it already and besides I can't also turn back time and save my mom. If dad is still alive, I'll look for him. That's more important right now, surviving in this world is more important than sulking and tormenting my self." *This kid... He is smart and quite mature too. They are the same when it comes to emotions and feelings inside. Now that Teacher Rico's son is with me, don't worry teacher, I'll do whatever it takes to protect your son…*

"Dan is having the same spirit as teacher Rico. So brave and smart too." Kamilla praised him for she knows that he needs it. "Dad taught me to be like that when I grow up and become gentlemen too." "Hhmm… So you really want to be as strong as your dad?" "Yes! Stronger than I could surpass his expectation and make him proud." "Then, can you promise to big sis here that you will follow her and obey her command Until we find your dad?" "If its worth it then I'll promise to be with big sister for as long as I can." "Good, then here. Take this.…" Dan got shocked when he saw the Yellow-Magic Orb and when Kamilla Explain to him everything, Kamilla also helped Dan to awaken his Magai. *I don't actually need any Magic Orb anymore because of the Magic Orb that I absorbed, but Magic Orbs are now known as Money in this new Era. The more Magic Orb you have the more Powerful, famous and wealthy you are, and not only that but it can also help enhance your Magai ability to level them up faster and stronger…*

{WORLD CALAMITY DAY 6...}

While the three-person were so focussing on their meditation for 2-3 hours and train their physical body for 4 hours every day, Kamilla also doing her part by crafting some new equipment and weapons that she brought during her scouting those guns and battle weapons. And she also does exercise to enhanced her physical body. third days of their meditating, Kamilla is now heading to inspect Dan first. *Hhmm… seeing his yellow aura. This kid maybe has Intelligence-Type and as for his Mark, it is also forming out... Not bad, such young age to have nearly awakened his Magai in just for 3 days, even though the method I gave him is just to absorb the Magic Energy, but still so fast than the normal state...*

Kamilla looked at the kid's forehead, forming a yellow tattoo of gear like Mark. *Let's go to those two and see what are the changes.* She then headed to where the two is. *Hhmm..?!* "Oh shit! This girl is pushing herself too much!? Stop it, Alex!?" Kamilla saw a strong and overbearing aura around her. A Green Aura color showed up dancing in the wind like a fire. "What should we do?! This girl is so arrogant!" Brother Jonathan got panicked and doesn't know what to do. "This girl is really getting into my nerves... I don't have a choice then, I hope she will not get mad..." Kamilla immediately smacks Alex's face many times to wake herself up. As she woke up, her face got turned red and swollen. "Who did that?! You did this brother Jonathan? How could you?!" "It's not me stupid!" "No, it's really you!? Grrr…" "Stop it you two…" Kamilla got annoyed by those two again. "Anyways, Alex, you must rest first and continue later. You need to relax, not obeying what I said need to have punishment. Go make us some meals for our lunch..." "Ehh?!"

Brother Jonathan continued his meditation while Kamilla was observing him. *His aura, is much stronger and well balanced than those two. Maybe tonight, big brother will awaken his Magai, even though it's still his third day of awakening, these people are like little monsters... He has a Strength-Type ability, giving his tattoo on both arms...* Kamilla saw a red thick Lines tattoo on both brother Jonathan's arms. *The only person left to inspect is my annoying best friend. I hope she can awaken soon before we depart..* Kamilla then walked out and headed to help Alex.

At night Kamilla received news that her brother got awakened his Magai. So she told her brother to rest himself first for tomorrow is their first journey and will be heading to Davao City. Right now Kamilla was doing her exercise again, *998..999..1000…* "Meow...Meow.." Kamilla heard her Cat's voice. "Neko?" She then looked in her balcony area and saw Neko licking her body. "Neko... Come here..." "Meow...Moew.." "Where have you been little guy? Don't get out alone okay, it's dangerous out there…" she then cuddling with her cat and then slept together.

{WORLD CALAMITY DAY 7...}

Morning came, Kamilla and her Gang are now preparing themselves for their departure. As she looks at the three in front of her, she then felt something strange from Alex and Dan. "What's wrong with you two? Something's strange.." "Haha!..haha... Of course, because I already have Awakened! Hahaha.." "Me too big sis.." *What? Did they awakened?* "Can you both show me your Magai-Tattoos?" Kamilla asked them for confirmation, so Dan took off his gray bandana on his forehead. * Hmm... So he has that ability, good...* "That tattoo looks good on you Dan. Don't worry, I'll help you on how to train with that, okay?" "Uhmm… okay, big sis!" Dan answered it Happily and excitingly. "Ohh?! Is that a gear? Looks cool! Let me see it again!" "Shut up stupid." Alex wanted to look again but Dan makes her pissed.

"Ehh??! This kid!?.. Ggrrrr... Look Kamilla! He doesn't have good manners and right conduct..." "Don't bother him, let me see your tattoo.." Kamilla didn't mind her and just asked her to show her tattoo. "Uhmm... Hmm... Are you sure? This will be kinda awkward to show it out here-" "just show it to me already!" "Okay okay! Wait a minute." Alex then slowly unbuttoning her white Shirt. And showed her cleavage with a pink bra on them. Brother Jonathan got astonished while looking and his nose started to bleed while Dan immediately covered his face for his embarrassing. *An Agility-type!?* Kamilla got shocked at first when she saw a green wings tattoo covering her cleavage part, but she immediately realized that two males are not allowed to see Alex's private part, yet Alex seems to enjoy it. "You bitch!?" "Wwaahh!! I'm sorry!!" Kamilla got so mad.

"Anyways, since brother Nathan has strength-type Arms Ability, Dan has Intelligence-Type Eyes sense Ability and Alex has Agility-type speed ability. I have here suitable equipment and weapons for each one of you, base on Your Magai Type, so make use of these weapons and adapt it to your fitting. Now prepare yourself and equip all of them immediately!" Kamilla commanded them. Brother Jonathan has two big Machete on his back and a single handgun. Wearing, black plain shirt, brown denim jacket and dark blue pants and also brown boots, belt bag with collections of knives and also crafted magnetic broken blade gloves that can retract the magnet when it approaches the target and makes a wound when it touches the target.
