Chereads / Reincarnate 1 / Chapter 3 - The Beginning of a Journey

Chapter 3 - The Beginning of a Journey

"Now, don't forget your field trip is about five days later and have your parents sign the form handed out last month." says Ms. Ana as the bell rings and all the students go outside.

Outside

Markos is walking out of the school,

"Hey Markos!" Sofia walks up to Markos.

"Yes?"

"Can you please come with me?"

"No. Why now anyway?" Sofia then does a cute face "F... Fine, I'll go." Markos just crosses his arms.

"Great! Follow me!" Sofia then holds Markos' hand and takes him outside the school to a secret alleyway "We're here!" the beam of light then appears.

"Here we go again.... why did I agree to come?" Markos asks.

After awhile in Asgard

Markos and Sofia are now facing a shack.

"Why am I Here? Seriously." Markos wonders.

"You're gonna train." Sofia responds.

"I only said I'm going to help you, not become a God."

"But you're suppose to train in order to help me." Markos then has a face of thought.

"Fine." Markos has a pretty reluctant face, like he doesn't want to be there, but he knows he made a promise to Sofia. They then enter the shack and notice the old man that fought them "Oh... you're him."

*the image of the old man*

"Yes." the old man "But please call me Tom." Tom responds.

"Tom?" Markos ask.

"Kidding?" Sofia asks as well. Tom gets out a Japanese fan and waves it.

"Oh stop. I'm just a shop keep." says Tom.

"Hey! Don't give that shop keep line!" Markos complains. Tom just chuckles a bit.

"Anyway, come on in." says Tom. Markos let's Sofia entre first, then follows her. Once they entered, they noticed it's a shop.

"So... what are we going to do? Can target practice. Fencing stick bread edition. Food fight." Markos thinks of everything to do in a store, training wise.

"All those sounds like fun, but nope. Follow me." Tom accompanies them through a back door. After moving some boxes out of the way, another door is revealed. Once they go through the door, they see an entire gladiator fighting like arena, filled with training equipment, like wooden swords, entire book shelves, fighting rings.

"Wow, impressive." Sofia compliments.

"Thanks." Tom responds "Now don't worry for how long you stay here. I made this arena as a cut away from Asgard's space and time. Your realm and all the other universe's time are the same, however here, 1 year here is a day on Earth."

Back to Brayo

Chris is waiting for her ride, only 10 minutes remain. She notices a poor person begging for money. No one is giving the beggar some sort of money and even then, just a penny. Chris takes out some 10 rien and walks to the poor person, on the other side of the road. Chris reaches the poor person and gives her the 10 rien.

"Thank you so much, kind young girl." says the begger and Chris smiles.

"Anytime." Chris waves goodbye and walks back to where she was. Once Chris' car arrived, she entered it.

"Hi Ms. Chris." says Chris' driver.

"Hi Yaku." Chris responds "Dad is..."

"Yeah." Chris sighs.

"Of course." Chris looks down as she enters the car. Yaku then drives off. Once they reach Chris' home, Chris gets out of the car and walks in. As she enters the house, she hears laughter and insults to thugs in the dinning hall. Chris then enters her room and studies.

Jin is right now at a shopping center with his parents. They are at a clothing store because his mom needs a dress for a party. Right now, Jin is just sitting down on some chair at a corner. Jin spots two thugs smirking, pointing and laughing psychopathically at his parents. The then spot Jin and walks to him. Jin has a tight grip on his wooden sword, ready to fight.

"Hello baldy." says Thug 1.

"Yes?" Jin asks.

"This store is great. Wouldn't want to destroy it." says Thug 2.

"What about it?" Jin asks. He notices one of them taking out a knife.

"Give us something your's." says Thug 1.

"If I say no..." says Jin, then the thug holding the knife attacks Jin. Jin dodges the attack swiftly then punches the thug's stomach. The next thing happened was Jin kicking the other thug's face casually. His dad appears.

"Hey! Why did you attack them?" Jin's dad asks.

"Self defense." Jin responds.

"No! You still attacked them!"

"They threatened you!"

"You can't solve violence with violence!"

"Jeez." Jin face palms and walks away.

"Where are you going?!"

"Home."

Asgard

Markos is just blocking some dummy arrows for an automatic crossbow. Sofia is just going around a book shelf and opens a book to study, such as the secrets of combat. She opens one on an entire circular row of Gods and a door in the World Tree.

"Oh." Tom appears "you're studying."

"Yeah. Hey Tom. I have never seen this one before. What are these Gods?" Sofia asks. Tom has a serious face

"Hm. It's complicated to say. I have been studying this realm for centuries, and I feel like I didn't scratch the surface. What I can say, is that these Gods and the realm seem to have this embodiment of everything. Let's say a rock, those rocks are the embodiment of any rock ever, even being above the concept of space, time and dimensions. You can say it's a rock in it's purest form and the same applies to those Gods and everything in the realm..."

"Wow..." Sofia is in awe.

"Unfortunately, you need to have a high power level or some power or something to survive it. People, who aren't meant to go there or don't have a higher power level than that realm, will die. Only two people were able to survive there... at minimum." Tom finishes. Markos appears.

"Hey! Are we done here?" Markos asks.

"Yes. You two need to be home now." says Tom. Sofia is sad that it's over and Markos has the face that it's finally over.

Brayo

Markos and Sofia are walking home and Markos bumps into someone, almost falling.

"Markos! You okay?" Sofia asks and helps Markos.

"I'm fine." Markos recognizes the man he bumped into "Kenji?"

"Well well, Markos. As stupid and as loud ever." says Kenji in taunting manner. This causes Markos to be mad.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Markos gets ready to fight and Sofia tries to stop him, just by grabbing his arm and pulling back with as much Force as possible.

"Control your temper next time... boy." Kenji then walks away.

"HEY! COME BACK HERE!" Markos tries to run to Kenji but Sofia is preventing him. Kenji then gets out of view.

"Markos, just stop." says Sofia. Markos then sighs and stops.

"Sorry." says Markos. Both then continue to walk.

Akira is entering her motel. She enters her room. Akira then lays on bed and looks at a picture of her and a little girl. Akira sighs in a saddened tone and just stares at the roof.

*the same little girl falling*

Akira begins to form tears on her eyes. But then the phone rings. It's Chris. Akira picks it up.

"Hello?" Akira answers.

"Hey Akira. Kaori is over at my house studying a bit. Would you like to join?" Chris asks.

"Of course." Akira answers.

"Be safe." says Chris.

"Bye." Akira responds. Akira then changes. After awhile, she is riding a bike to Chris' home.

Ashido is playing a game at the living room. He hears the doorbell ring, so he gets up and walks to the main door. Ashido opens the door and sees a mailman.

"Ashido?" the mailman asks.

"Yes." Ashido responds.

"Mail by someone." the mailman responds.

"Who?" Ashido asks.

"Not sure. They claim they are from your school." the mailman responds "Of course, here is some personal advice, open it with friends around. Best be safe."

"Thanks. See you." Ashido responds. The mail man then leaves. Ashido walks in and leaves it on the table.

"Hm... wonder what this is." Ashido wonders to himself "best hide it for now." Ashido hides the box in his room.

Markos and Sofia are in Markos' room, Markos is reading a manga and Sofia is drawing. Markos heard a noise on his door. He then gets up and walks to it.

"What?" Sofia asks.

"Sh." Markos responds, suspecting someone. Markos then is in front of the door "mom..." Markos heard a noise at the other side and opens the door. Markos opens the door "Stop stalking me!" Markos closes the door.

"Hey Markos. Ashido wants to show us all something." says Sofia as Markos gets back on bed.

"What is it?" Markos asks.

Markos in thought: Best not be hentai.

"It's this box." Sofia shows a photo of the box.

"What is this?"

"Not sure. Seems interesting."

"True. Although we may have to be careful."

It's night time. Ashido is in his room sleeping. He hears some noise outside. This causes Ashido to wake up a bit. He notices some odd figure in the hallway. Ashido rubs his eyes but then when he opens his eyes, the figure disappears. Ashido gets up and turns on the lights, however there is no figure.

"Weird... maybe it was a dream." Ashido tells to himself. He goes back to his room, turns off the lights and goes back to sleep. After awhile when Ashido is clearly in deep sleep, the same figure is back.
