Chereads / book of chaos: timeless / Chapter 16 - unknown companion

Chapter 16 - unknown companion

the morning strikes and the early bird catches the worm!/ It's fuckin' too earl! there isn't even a single ray of sunlight, I'm probably getting way too much sleep that it's been disrupting my sleep cycle. anyway since Naoya is still sleeping might as well write a book while at it... never wrote a book on without being in spirit form or in my dreamscape so this won't release who knows where... probably. (note: I want to keep reminding you guys but this will be the last time, in Nick's arc he writes books that comes from his past, this might help on your imagination on what kind of person Nick is)

(also note, the people in this book is below 18 except for the parents but remember, these are optional)

6O0k 2313: Digita

It was a world where digital science was all over the place, futuristic items, magic was non-existent and people who had magic capabilities were ridiculed, such as Luna, she was a girl, a noble of the mages family from years ago, although no one ridiculed her but even respected her, she was loved by all, she created atmosphere that even the worst kinds of people wouldn't dare to harm her, she was almost the symbol of perfect. "hey Luna what do you want to do today?" questioned by her friends " I think I will practice my singing since my magic is meaningless to the world what about if I turn it as designs or effects of my singing?" "That sounds great Luna! with your popularity, even the higherups would probably hire you for your singing!" she was being complimented by everyone in, she didn't have any signs of sadness or even a tint of anger, she was happy, she was joyful to have friends that adore her, there was no one that wanted that happiness to fade, some had the courage to confess, but Luna turned down every boy who confessed, but there was one who wasn't affected by her happiness, only her beauty, his name was Leo, a boy from the higher nobles. he confessed but was inevitably turned down, this has angered him.

Luna was Invited to the mansion of the said noble, where she was asked to join their dinner party, Luna gladly accepted the invitation, she was adored by everyone upon entering, her beauty was so astounding that even higher nobles tried to ask her to marry their sons, she denied it but in a manner that wasn't offending, the stage was up and Luna was asked to sing for the crowd.

A whole array of voices was produced by the digital speaker, she sang beautifully, every person who had grudges or hated her beauty disappeared and all of the people inside the area clapped and cheered after her finish, she was truly a person beloved by all, Luna was asked to stay after the event finish which he gladfully did, but she didn't expect misfortune to enter her quickly. she was captured and kidnapped into an area unknown to him, her head was released from the mask but gagged and incapable to say a word, everything she did was muffled, from voices to movement. she was greeted by the man who had confessed to her and hosted the party, "Bravo for that magnificent performance but I'm afraid there wasn't enough oomph to it" he swayed it in such a sexual way that even Luna was creeped out, her friends knew that she had magic and thanks to her friends, it remained a secret, her magic was multiplied to 5 by the time she released fire magic to release herself from the shackles and managed to flee, she was greeted by a man with such weird clothing akin to a person of the 21th century, she asked for helped and help was given, the place she was in burned to the ground but the noble inside lived somehow, she was disgusted but still asked for an ambulance, the man masked was nowhere to be seen and the ambulance and the police came, questioning about the incident Luna was deemed innocent while the parents of said noble was sent to prison while Leo himself was homeschooled for eternity, she never saw the noble but her fate didn't stop there. after the incident, she was surveyed, asked and even the multimedia came to question her, she was beginning to hate how her popularity rose, she loved her friends and family but she hated how she was being used, she was seen as an object by strangers and seen as a form of profit by greedy men, multiple invitations had become a pile and her parents were being asked multiple times, they had to switch homes after that and Luna said goodbyes to all of her friends from school. she was sad but while in a car, a terrorist attack near there vicinity occurred, bullets were flying everywhere and explosions can be heard in the distance. suddenly a man stopped their car by shooting their wheels, the man killed both Luna's parents and captured her as a hostage, he was the remaining terrorist left, this was the unluckiest year for Luna, she despaired for the person who killed her parents dead, and as soon as that hits to her mind a man with similar clothing that showed from the fire incident appeared, she asked for help yet again but "are you aware that you are asking from a foreign one" was his response, time was still going yet everyone became silent, the only things she heard was her voice and the man's voice, from there she knew that she was asking from a god, yet "Yes!! please kill this person who's holding me hostage!" she screamed, everyone in the vicinity heard her but not the other way around and they didn't seem to see the man in front of them "are you aware that you will die after this?" she was scared, this was the first time she was scared, not disturbed nor disgusted, it was pure fear. but her response was the same. after the conversation, sound came back from them and the man was now visible to everyone, the man holding her hostage was threatening him to step back but he paid no mind to it "may fate be faster and time turn to zero' the twist of time are merciless and you don't age so well, you were fated to die by being raped to death from the other day, yet you still live, you are now forever an anomaly, as am I, your wish is my command for the first and last time'" the man bowed to Luna and disappeared as if he was air everyone was confused, even the man but after that, Luna was killed by a mysterious power, she didn't take any injuries nor was she visibly or mentally injured, it was as if she was sleeping so soundly. the funeral for the Aiha family was given in a grand cemetery afterward, her friends were crying, everyone who knew her attended and gave their goodbyes for the last time."

Hahh... that was a memory if I do say so myself, oh! the book still explodes into nothingness even if I'm not in spirit form... that's good, Luna Aiha, although similar to Luna here today, she wasn't that much anyway, although she hated that name but gave herself a similar sounding name, funny kid. wonder if Yuna is living calmly in another place right now?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

the morning strikes and Naoya finally woke up, hahh finally... "oy, Naoya! time to hunt for monsters, although I won't be sparring with you I'll gladly watch you from the back" " yes sir but... mind if I take a small rest for training?" small rest? "NO!!! you are jogging for a long time until you find a monster or else I will kill you and revive you!" I don't know if this kind of punishment is allowed but he flinched from fear, hey, I might get a knack of threatening people "yeah that's right! now stand straight and begin jogging until you find a monster! that's it! 1.2.1.2.1.2.1.2" I am not knowledgeable about training but if it works it works.I feel like I forgot something... (*yeah, like killing all of the monsters in the vicinity) oh well...

after 3 hours we found a monster, Naoya's training was harsh, gotta say that this was one of the worst training regimes that I have made for one person, although I do give in the impression of a great sage I'm not even that great at such things, knowing things weren't my superiority ever since I was born from earth, I was an otaku with a great sense of justice and most of the time I would just ignore people's ridicules but after I had enough of them ridiculing me I was transported into an area where fighting was necessary, but enough about me. seems like Naoya is having a hard time, might as well give him the ins and outs of his abilities, I'm not a sadist as to leave him empty after all...

a few hours pass by and we bump into some traveling people, although I particularly don't want to butt in their business I can't say for my companion... "what are you people doing in these parts? aren't you supposed to be guarded with adventurers?" Naoya made some remarks and while he does his things I'll scout the area, although I don't see the need to do so "sorry but we can't afford to hire some lowly adventurers as bodyguards, we have enough manpower to guard us so step aside!" he was forceful, he's currently in a carriage so I don't know if he's telling the truth or not, 3 people are visible, 2 on front and one on the back, but that side was as kept in without any light coming through. "I'm surprised you can't hire any adventurers, I suppose you make a valid point but being way out in a village especially for a route not being a usual trading route due to its dangers, I can't help but be suspicious about everything you have said..." you're not a great talker, aren't you? hahh... well I guess this could also be a form of training form him, as always those people will deny everything they said, I already know the contents inside, but that's up to Naoya to find out "I'm sorry but can we please look at the contents inside? I'm afraid I can't walk away knowing there are people inside your tent" -! I'm surprised, how did Naoya found that out? "W-what are you talking about?! fine you can look but I'm afraid there's nothing of interest to you" he's... too lax on this, Naoya begins searching the carriage tent, and to his surprise, it was nothing but water and food. "I see... sorry for disturbing you, please don't mind us" Naoya bowed and walked away as if he wasn't interested anymore... this kid... hah, I guess I can overlook myself helping those people... one by one I helped the people escape inside the carriage, they didn't seem to notice thanks to my lightweight and invisibility ritual, anyway I noticed one was wearing skimpy clothing, it's a girl about the age of 18. silk, transparent pink top meaning only a bra was its own protection, really short shorts... what do people call these again? anyway from all of the proof I needed this was an otherworlder, although I can't bring her back even if I know where she lived in, that would consider her as an anomaly... anyway since everyone except for her was conscious, I bring her to our camp with Naoya's punishment on my mind... "Sir! I thought you weren't interested in this matter?" hah... this idiot "If you find someone conspicuous search till' the end! there's all kinds of people with magic now, what you didn't notice was the illusion magic that was cast on the tent" he was speechless... for not noticing this... I'll let it pass, for now I need to feed another person until I work out how to get her rid of my bag...

this girl... her ability is... almost as powerful as mine, 'skill transfer' huh? well, best to be careful around her when she learns how to use it.

A few minutes pass and Naoya's back from his expedition, the girl finally woke up from smelling the food Naoya was cooking. "It seems like you're hungry, we don't have much but dig in" Naoya's nice as usual... I can't fathom how he can be nice to people in this kind of situation... the girl nods and was given a bowl (specifically, MY bowl!) and began digging in, It seems like she still has no intention of speaking to us... hahh... I'll leave this to Naoya, I just can't stand how he's okay feeding another mouth...

------------------------

The girl began chowing down every last bit of my cooking, it was as if she was hungry for days... I feel sorry for her "are you fine? you don't seem injured" the girl nods but shows a few grazing in the arm. it looks like she was forced to come with them... I should've killed them when I had the chance, anyway her life is on priority for now. "can you tell me your name?" a simple question responded with a simple answer but... she doesn't respond. "CAN you tell me your name" I tried to be clear without being forceful, she was hesitant but responded with a nod "I-Isabelle..." her respond was silent but audible, for now, I only know her name but if some things come up I'll try to pry more.

Nick returned from his nightly check and asked a few more questions. "hahh... sorry if I'm going to be forcefull but I need your cooperation in this so..." she responded with a nod, "you seem to be shy or are you not just used to us just yet?" she was still hesitant, actually even more hesitant than before "I-... I'm n-not used to t-this yet..." "ahh... then I'll run you down once morning strikes, I'll keep watch on you even if I sleep so be warned that if you try anything funny I'll hunt you down" it was seen as a threat more than anything but she nodded quite quickly this time, fear? I hate resorting to using force if unnecessary but it is a faster way of gathering information.

the night goes by without much trouble-

the morning struck and the first thing I see was Isabelle talking with Nick. I began my usual training as this was the most important according to my master.

---------------------

I was still in the dreamscape when this girl woke up, although I woke up after her she was already making a b-line to the forest, she's not experienced in magic nor does she know of it so it was simple as catching a fly. "you, what do you think you're doing?" I stopped her in her tracks with grass knot "eek!" "Please don't scream early in the morning... anyway what were you trying to do this early in the morning?" "...I-I'm sorry but I need to go back home!" "and where would that be?" "i-t's.. I... don't know..." she's an otherworlder, no one in this world would wear something useless outside the city, let alone a noble wearing something like that "I'm afraid you're incapable of returning back to your world. what was the planet called in your world anyway?" "R-Resika" I see... Resika is a place where inorder to survive you need to rely on others or steal from others, it's a world made from metal but has little to no knowledge on magic and it's continuously being invaded by demons, although the place she was in was probably much more advanced, like the one back on earth "hahh... right now, you're in Laplace, do you still remember your world?" "Yes... vaguely" I can invite her to the dreamscape but that would result in me needing to rest again... hahh... this is a bother "I'll just give you a rundown on everything that has probably happened to you now." Isabelle was a Human from the world Resika, I assumed that she was transported uppon death but her clothing would've said otherwise... being reincarnated isn't possible due to the same fact so the only thing that I can guess right now, she was transported by a heavy link in their world and Laplace, looking at the clothes, she was just transported here recently, also there's something else that's bothering me "mind saying alert?" "e-ehh?" "Please, I just need to reaffirm myself" "Alert!" -warning, Alert system has been initiated, duel with a foreign party is now possible, do you agree?- she looked startled, anyway the Alert system has proved my point, her world was much more advanced than when I travelled there, it has been years so I assume life there is now much more habitable... anyway I'll check on her skills later, the night is still young so I don't mind sleeping right now,
