Chapter 8 - Building Confusion

Building Confusion

*******

Wild ideas kept churning in Elias's mind but he suppressed them all and began analyzing everything from the beginning. 

In Stella Town, he goes by the name Micheal Johnson. It was a very common name in the locality and so he did not stand out. 

But, is that his actual name? No!

The name that he grew to know as his was Jack014. And that was in the Secret Organization that raised him, along with others like him. 

They were trained in many things related to Sciences, Economics, Sociology, Criminology and fighting, as well as weapons methods.

All that to create Spies, Hackers, Assassins, Doublegangers, Replacements, Soldiers and many more. 

What one becomes is according to the talents of the child. 

Elias thought long before he realized why the name made him feel like it was his. 

There was a mission that he operated when he was fifteen years old. As he was the only one that passed the test and was then confirmed to be the best candidate to accomplish the mission.

The mission is about Replacement. He was trained for one year to be a kid that belonged to a certain wealthy family. The plan was their kid will be kidnapped and then replaced with him. 

The training was so intense that in the end, he believed that he was the child.

By the time he went to the family's house and spent one month there, his acting was flawless in every bit of the way. Above that, he believed wholeheartedly that he was their child and all.

The child's name was Elias Gabriel. He had spent six months with the family before the first mission arrived which was to find important documents from the family. He almost failed the mission as he began to worry about why he would betray his parents?

After the Handler realized that he was too deep into the act and everything can be jeopardized, he changed strategy. He began asking him to do things or he would kill his parents. 

That became a motivation for him to do the mission.

Throughout the mission, he worked hard with the assumption that he was keeping his parents alive and safe. Later on, he tracked the Handler and killed him believing that he was saving his family from conspiracy!

Yet, when he killed the Handler someone injected him with something and his memory was jolted awake and he remembered everything from the beginning to the end. 

The supervisor was so happy to see that one of his students had performed splendidly. As the mission was so successful.

But, sadly, they have to wake him up or else he will dive too deep to the point of no return. 

Elias Gabriel is the name of the child he Impersonated at that time and because he was so into it, it took him a full year before he was able to erase that identity from his mind, but, yet it still stayed!

When he first read Elias Gobarau he did not feel anything amiss as he assumed that it was his name. But, now he realized it wasn't.

"Wand Shop" he whispered.

[Wand Shop]

~Tangible Items

~Intangible Items

~180 points~

He focuses on Intangible Items and chooses information. There was a section where he could ask a question and an answer would be generated.

"What is my name?" He asked. And it was written in the question section. Then the answer was generated.

[Elias Gobarau]

"But, my name is Jack014, that's what I know from my life. Then later I changed to Michael Johnson." He screeched.

[Based on the Whispers within the Fog, the name that was bestowed upon you upon your birth, by your Biological Parents is the only true name and that is, Elias Gobarau.]

Elias Gobarau was bewildered! 

He stayed silent mulling over what he just learned, yet he can't bring himself to believe what he was hearing. 

Unbeknownst to him, he was already shedding tears, not for sadness but out of joy. 

"I have actual Parents! Haha, I'm a legitimate child born from a loving father and mother! Hahaha!" He shouted at the fog.

He jumped and broke into breakdancing without a care in the world! He sings and dances with no shame to the fog that was looking. And even if someone is looking he will not feel anything. 

As this is the best revelation that he ever thought he would hear in his life.

People cannot sympathize with him at all, as they couldn't understand what he was feeling. Only if you are him or someone who has been in his situation.

Elias Gobarau was raised along with others like him in a confined society where they were trained for certain purposes. In truth, they are just a bunch of tools raised to perform mission after mission until they die. 

Their name was just a word attached with a number. Elias Gobarau goes by Jack014. That means there are Jack015, Jack016… etc. 

All their life they will know that name except for those that were fortunate or unfortunate to be good with Mimicry or Impersonation.

Those talented with that will be trained till they become someone and then make that person Identity and live as that person. There was a governor that was killed, they used a trained agent to Impersonate him.

There are sons and daughters of rich families kidnapped and replaced with agent kids for certain reasons. That was also the case for Elias Gobarau and it was at that mission he learned what the world is all about.

As the child he was impersonating has a doting parent, he was given love to the point he forgot who he really was. And to date, he regrets the fate of the family. Because they show him how to live and how to enjoy life.

They show him that life is not about killing, stealing or being someone fake. No, life is being oneself and having a personal identity that is unique to oneself. Your name, your voice, your skin colour, your face, your manners, your behaviour, your values… And many more. All uniquely belong to you.

But, he lacks all that, because whenever a mission comes he will be faceless. And assumed the person he must impersonate. 

It has always been his wish to find peace and live like normal people that have normal problems and normal enjoyment, unlike the dog he was raised to be!
