°•○● Table of Gods! - Chapter "35" -/ T
"Dreamy Creepy Dreams - 5" °•○●
The next day, Eren spent all his time with the tablet he had taken from one of the houses he had broken into. He had a working internet modem in an older villa at the back of his house. The old system had a mechanism that provided internet with a telephone connection.
But for Eren, it was enough to stay at home and have a stable internet, albeit slowly. He had never thought that not having fixed internet in his own home would bother him at times like these. If he had known, he would have insisted on his mother more and had internet connected to their home.
Looking at the watch he had stolen from a shop on his arm, he knew he had already been on Earth for a day and a half. In the middle of the second day, there was not much left for him to learn from the internet anymore.
"Really, that's enough."
There was a lot of information that he needed in the technological sense. But Eren was a high school language student. He was very bad at math and physics, even if he was mindful of verbal things.
It was impossible for any machine or advanced technology to memorize its design, even if its logic was simple. So he renounced such dreams and memorized simpler things. Eren memorized things like sewing, martial arts, or making simple household items and medicines.
Since he did not know what kind of creatures he would fight in the future, he memorized all kinds of simple information. For example, if he had too many slaves like Elene and was going to use them in wars, there were some tricks to know. Or there were some techniques that allowed the stronger sides to lose in very cold or extremely hot battlefields.
Once, due to a lunar eclipse in the 1000s, a tiny army defeated a huge Byzantine army, and it was only because they turned the natural conditions to their advantage.
Eren also memorized a few information that he did not understand but might need in the future. For example, the genetic lineage of humans and, possibly, the knowledge of which races formed today's humans by mating.
"The family tree is very difficult to memorize. Especially the Latin names are extremely stupid. The ape lineage called Homininae, one of the first hominids, what do they mean? They should say that the Ape-Human mixture was the first living thing. Who came up with the name Hominkjsdks?" He stared at the tablet again, as he had mispronounced the second time, and continued to memorize the word.
He did not know when he would return to Earth in the future. He would never have access to the Temple's or the Federation's internet. He needed this internet to reach the 10th floor and only after reaching the 10th floor could he have internet access. WTF.. This internet thing was in a stalemate. That's why he planned to take this important information left on Earth with him at once.
By the evening of the second day, there was no longer a word or code that he had trouble remembering. He sighed deeply as he memorized even certain numerical information perfectly. He took one last look at the notebook and list on the phone in his hand, and then put the phone down on the couch.
"Now it's time for madness." He stood up and tucked his bag on his back, which he had already prepared. He wore the gloves his father had bought to use when getting on his bike in the cold at night. It was a strange feeling to wear one of his father's belongings in this empty house.
But in a few minutes he went down to the basement and turned off the power switch. He wanted to leave his home safely behind, even if it was a dream. He went to his neighbors' house and looked at Meltem's room one last time. He put the diary back where it was taken.
He was a man who had nothing to lose when he closed the garden gate and went out into the street.
..
With that instant energy and courage, Eren first drove to the lower parts of the city. He went to the brothel his friends always pointed to as they passed by. It was completely locked outside, but he climbed inside and toured a strange space filled with small apartments. At the very center was a huge area and there was the stage with metal poles. "There was even pole dancing. Haha.. I wasn't expecting that."
Eren entered a girls' dormitory in the city center and every part of the city hospital that he was curious about. The cold zone made Eren a little nervous as he entered the morgue section. But since there was no dead person, he just wandered around and went out.
His last stop was a shop in the bazaar very close to the internet cafe. It was a shop in the middle of the bazaar but at the height of the 6th floor. Erotic Shop.
Eren spent at least an hour here. When he finally came out, he had a strange expression on his face. He was both amused by what he saw and faced with an experience that was below his expectation. It was a fairly sterile and flat place. The things that were sold were toys and drugs, which were also available on the Internet.
..
When Eren achieved all of his short-term goals, he sat in a cafe and made tea for himself. He spent time sitting in the most beautiful cafe of the bazaar with his glass and a couple of snacks.
There was no longer any need to hurry.
At that moment, he could go out of the city, go to the sea and take a vacation, or go to the shooting range and do as much gun training as he wanted. If he wanted, he could even steal a big and beautiful screen and go abroad. European countries were one border away. First Greece, Italy, then Germany and England. It was a beautiful dream.
When he lifted his head, the meteor he saw was still close to Earth, but also very, very far away. He still had time.
"Still, I won't be able to rest until I find my way out of here. A vacation would be too luxurious and stupid."
On his way to his own High School, he drove on roads he hadn't used much before. Every now and then, Eren accelerated as fast as he could. It was a lot of fun to drive fast on empty roads.
After months of time in the temple, these two days felt very free and comfortable.
When he arrived in front of the school, he stopped in front of the garden gate. The electric gate was wide open. The garden was empty when he entered by motorbike. Everything was as he remembered. Same as when he teleported from here to the Temple. In fact, when Eren thought about it, even the trash around might be the same. But he didn't remember that clearly.
His heartbeat quickened as he approached the bench he was sitting on. He had been waiting to hear the same sound all of a sudden.
An interesting encounter, a fantastic mission the voice will give him, or hearing a divine explanation... all of these would be nice.
But nothing happened.
He didn't leave school for the next few hours. He looked everywhere. He entered the boiler room below Eren and the basement used as a warehouse. He searched every class, every room, every corner.
He gave speeches, took pictures, whispered, shouted, cursed, or acted in the sky around the bench where he was teleported to the temple.
But Eren didn't wake up the way he expected.
Even if this dream could end before the meteor strikes, Eren had no idea how it could happen.
..
One year later..
Eren, whose hair and beard never grew, was lying on a sunbed on the beach of a city called Kuşadası. And there was a view on this beach that was impossible to see under normal conditions.
First of all, a meteor was seen on the hill that was about to enter the earth's atmosphere. Its size was so large that it might even have been called a small planet if it hadn't burned.
Secondly, despite the scorching heat, Eren was using all forms of technology. He was constantly getting beer and cookies from the two small and one big refrigerators next to him and he continued to drink without ever getting up from his bed. He had already started consuming alcoholic beverages in the last year.
Next to the refrigerators, a giant machine was blowing icy air towards him and the beach. There was electricity with the cables that Eren pulled from the five-star hotel in the back, and unlimited water thanks to a huge hose. There was every opportunity for this huge factory air conditioner to run non-stop.
The strangest thing in this strange environment was Eren, who had an unhappy facial expression. Maybe he wasn't even bored. But his strange facial expression matched it more with unhappiness than any other emotion.
Eren sighed and stood up. He threw the beer in his hand towards the pile of beer bottles. Hearing the "Sling" voice, he smiled a small smile. The sound gave him a strange satisfaction. It was the first time he had smiled in recent days, and it instantly disappeared.
"Fuck evolution, adventure, temple... aahhhhh...in short, everything."
Eren walked to the wooden pier, just a few meters away, on the shore. He jumped onto the nearest jet ski and started the machine. In five minutes, he moved a little further from the beach, stopped in a deep place and jumped into the sea.
Eren was a good swimmer since childhood, just like every other person in this region. He swam away like a dolphin, expelling his evil energy. At one point he lay on his back in the sea and peed.
When he started to gasp from swimming, he left the jet ski in the sea and swam back to the beach by himself. He collapsed to the ground from exhaustion as his feet landed on the sand.
In the last half hour, he was disturbed because his thoughts about his family, life and future had not left his mind. He looked up at Meteor and turned to lie down on the chaise longue.
He glanced around for a second or two before lowering himself into a reclining position and closing his eyes.
[Where is s/he? He's not even trying to kill me. Who is watching me..?]
He struggled with the nasty thoughts for a while until he actually fell asleep.
As Eren slept, someone appeared on the beach walking towards him. He didn't quite get close to Eren. The person watching from afar was standing barefoot on the hot sands of the beach. He didn't seem at all bothered as he stepped on the burning sand.
He was unaware of the camera that recorded the beach on JetSki, which Eren left in the sea. Or another trap that Eren has prepared.
