Chereads / Gifted: The boy loved by Systems / Chapter 8 - The most dangerous place on Earth

Chapter 8 - The most dangerous place on Earth

Step step

The sound of both me and Snake could be heard, walking through the streets, as we proceed to walk into an alleyway, I then ask Snake.

"Is this the pickup point?"

"Yeah, I park Nimbus right above us."

"I see, you have it in cloak mode or something?"

"No, it's a park in the stratosphere, hiding in the night sky."

"I see."

With those words said I watch as Snake, started doing some weird hand antic in the air as if swiping an invisible screen only he can see, he almost reminds me of those systems Mc, really and truly I would love a system in my life.

Although Cliche, and is an overused genre, it is still entertaining nonetheless, I truly wondered what it would feel like to own a system, although I know I will never get one but a man can dream, can he?

"Maybe I will ask Shaltear."

But as I was thinking about this, Snake began to speak as he said.

"Ok Dragon prepare yourself for warp, also come beside me."

With those words said, I went closer to Snake and I notice something weird was happening, I have seen it only twice, and it's a feeling that I will never get used to.

A giant blue light suddenly shot from above the sky, and it engulfs us, but the light disappear as soon as it came, of course, we disappear along with the light, and the next thing I noticed was a bright light that engulf my eyes.

Along with the voice of an all too familiar A.I.

"It's good to hear from you too Uzana, how long has it been since I board the Nimbus.

I stated as I answer back to the female A.I.

"As expected from a highly advance extraterrestrial ship."

Yes like I said earlier before Nimbus is an extraterrestrial ship that Snake found on one of his mission, my son tried to take it away from him because well because he was Hitler, and also this ship only listen to Snake so that was a big fail.

But enough of that, I then gaze towards Snake as I ask.

"How long will it take to reach the Bermuda triangle?"

"About 10 minutes give or take, the ship is in level one mode right now, and if we fly at full speed in this mode it will only take about ten minutes to reach the edge of the world, after all, we will be traveling at Mach twenty-one."

"That's good then, I will just take a seat over here."

I stated as look around me, the place was a giant house, filled with futuristic technology way ahead of our current technology, again Snake is one lucky bastard, what is even the odds of even finding an extraterrestrial ship, to begin with.

But I can't complain either, I might have his ship but I got myself a sweet-looking outer God as a wife, then and again I hope she is pregnant, I want a strong offspring that can make me proud.

Well if she is not pregnant, I can always try as much as I want, after all, in those three days we spent locked up with each other, I made sure her body remember me to the point I'm like a drug in her eyes, hell I even mark her without her noticing.

Is it wrong that I'm very territorial when it comes to my woman, hell I remember when I was King Henry the V I mark both my woman, which was a French woman who was the princess of France, and the other was some Asian woman from the neighboring country, you could even say she was a spy that I fell in love with, she died at the age of twenty-eight sad to say?

While my other wife died at the age of thirty-four, it was because of this that I cut my reign as King short, and was pronounced dead at the age of thirty-five, of course, I was much older than this.

But I did make sure to leave an heir for the throne, which was King Henry the VI.

But just as I was thinking about the past, Snake called out to me as he was in the captain seat, pressing a lot of different buttons, my guess was he was typing coordinates maybe I don't know, the guy is probably one of the smartest people in the world right now as well.

But Snake said to me.

"Hey Dragon put your seat belt on, and also wear that mask, traveling at Mach twenty one might be a little uncomfortable, for someone who isn't used to high speeds."

"I'm good."

"You sure?"

"Pretty sure."

"Well, you can't say I didn't warn you."

"Less talking more driving, please."

"Yea, yea."

With that said Snake began ordering Uzana to take off to the desired location, meanwhile, I just chillax and wait till we reach the location, I didn't need to wear some stupid mask, you're talking to someone who can move 2x faster than the speed of light with a sword technique.

With that said Snake began to speak.

"Uzana activate all necessary force field and anti storm mode."

"Good prepare for take-off and go towards the desired location I set in the coordinator."

"Ok Dragon just sit back and enjoy the ride."

"Yeah, I heard you the first time."

Booooooooom!!!

With those words said, we sonic boom towards the location.

--10 minutes later--

"Holy shit, I know this place was a death zone but my God I never thought it was this bad, honestly what going on with the horrible weather condition here?"

"It weaken a lot compare to when I was younger."

"Ha, what do you mean it has weakened a lot, this anomaly of weather is strong enough to kill immortal like me and you with ease, why do you want to come here anyway?"

"Well my father, used to live here before he died, you could say this was his clan secrete base of operations, I'm just collecting my inheritance now, he did leave me this key when I was younger after all."

I stated as I show him the black and red key that was around my neck like a necklace, which in turn made the mercenary shocked beyond his core as he said.

"Dragon I knew you for a long time, and I know you're older than most humans on Earth, it was clear to me from the day I met you, and I also know that it's not nice to pry into the past of another mercenary, but really and truly just who are you?"

"If you figure out who am then I might just have to kill you."

I said while I laugh menacingly, which annoyed and frighten Snake to no ends as he replied as such.

"Haaa... stop joking around, that was not funny."

"Who said I was joking fufufu... I'm dead serious that why for your sake and my sake, let's keep any conversation and question about my true identity in the wrap, don't even bring it up, but I will say this, I'm someone to be feared."

"Very well then I won't pry any further for respect for you, but my God, your father must be one hell of monster if he lived here and lived to tell the tale."

"He was, my father, is a really dangerous man, he was also a very hard person to kill he always get up and move forward no matter what was thrown at him, his persistent is at the level of the Gods for sure, a pity he died in such a way and a smile on his face no less."

"Men, that sounds tragic, how did your father die though if I'm allowed to ask?"

I smile smugly as I replied with the truth.

"My mother kill him."

"Yiiiiiiikes your family is insane how the hell did he put up with that woman, no offense but your mother sounds scary and insane as hell."

"You have no idea, actually that's how they show their love to each other, through pure good old violence."

"You know what, I won't even question you anymore, I will lose my brain cell trying to understand your insane family."

"Good that is for the better."

"Well despite your family, can you tell me where you want to go within the Bermuda triangle."

"Yeah, I want to go to the very center."

"Ok sure, you heard him Uzana take us to the center."

With those words said Uzana took us to the very center of the Bermuda triangle, and when we look, the winds were getting worse, and the rain was getting heavier.

But we eventually reach the center, and when we did Snake was the first to speak as he said.

"This is far as I go Dragon, any lower and we will be caught up in the giant's waves."

"No worries I understand, I don't want my ride back homes to be killed off so early."

"Yeah yeah, I'm opening the shuttle door now, you got to make this jump quick because the ship is been slightly affected by the weird EMP field that is in this place, it will take some time before Uzana adapts to it, but for now I want to get the Nimbus to a higher and safer altitude."

"I heard you the first time, open the shuttle door quickly, I'm about to jump."

"Ok sure, but before you go, hold this."

At those words I look at Snake's hand, he was giving me a weird device that looks like a crown.

"What the hell is this?"

"A communicator made by Uzana, just tell me if you need back up, I won't hesitate to shoot from a safe distance, this will also show me your location, so I can kill the enemy if necessary."

"Sure this better not be some plot to kill me."

"Do I look like I want to die, remember we made bygones be bygones, and you are my sponsor the mercenary must protect their sponsor, or have you already forgotten the mercenary code?"

"No, thanks for the assistance and the reminder."

With these words said I place the crown around my head, as it latch on tightly but it was not uncomfortable if anything I didn't feel it at all.

And suddenly I began to hear the voice of Snake in my head.

[Testing testing Snake to Dragon can you hear me?]

"I can hear you loud and clear Snake."

[Good, you can speak with your mind if you want, as this is crown give us a telepathic link]

"That's cool I expect nothing less from Uzana, this tech is also very advanced as hell, but enough of that open the shuttle door, I'm about to jump."

[Roger that, preparation for the jump in Minus T 20 seconds, make your last minute preparation now soldier, the condition out there is not to be taken lightly]

"Roger that."

I wasted no time, as I took off my shoes, and also my undershirt, only my pants, was left, as I grab WhiteRose.

With that said and done I was ready to jump, and free dive in this hell hole.

Beep Beep Beep

Fwheeeeeeee!!!!

With that said, the beeping sound that goes off when the door opens up began to ring in my ear, along with the brutal sound of the heavy winds and heavy pouring rains.

Which is followed by Snake's voice as he said to me.

[The shuttle doors are open, it is now or never soldier jump, go! go! go! go!]

With those words said, I wasted no time and I jump straight down towards to sea, upon looking the entire place was a disaster the breeze was so strong it was blowing me off course but thankfully I manage.

Giant waves were everywhere, this place was the very embodiment of nature's cruelty, imagine a natural disaster of this level were to ever hit Japan, without a doubt it would have been wiped off the map.

However, it was only natural because back in my younger days this place was revered as the screaming abyss, a place of no return, a sea graveyard that took the life of many sailors venturing into the unknown.

It was because of this it was labeled as the most dangerous place on Earth, no one was crazy enough to come here, hell no one ever made it out alive.

Of course, my father was the sole exception this was the place he decide to call his home, simply because no one from the world order who had a huge bounty on his head was crazy enough to even think of this place.

Of course, there is a place called OverDeath island, and if your think the island sank, well no, it was been protected and hidden by magic, you see father was a serial killer who got trained by the longest living mage, and the first immortal to walk the land of man.

The very legend who foster the legend that was King Arthur himself, and the name of that person was Merlin the great.

But as I fall, I began to look around eventually I saw what I was looking for, which was a giant whirlpool, I just need to get caught up in it to reach the island.

So I was approaching the sea at a fast speed eventually I was caught up in one of the huge waves, but I didn't let that stop me, I had swum in this hell hole when I was younger so this is nothing.

And just like a speeding tuna, I began to swim in this monstrous sea, as I dive deeper, and I wasn't running out of stamina or breath, after all, my mother throw me in a pool for an entire night when I was small, so I can hold my breath for about 12 hours give or take while been under some taxing conditions.

The life much less the training to become an assassin in the order wasn't easy you know.

But as I swam toward the pool, I began to have a flashback of what my father told me, I could remember it vividly as he rub my head for my seventh birthday.

"Kakaka... my son, my pride and joy, your future won't be an easy one, the path to a killer is never easy, and what fate has in store for our kind is nothing but pure raw agony and despair, but I was never a man that had much belief in fate anyway, fate is nothing but an excuse to find reason in an event or situation that cannot be explained by normal means, cast your excuses into to cold dirt that we stand upon, is what I live my life by, because reality is cruel, and life is unfair, always remember this, my son never left your fate in the hands of another person, because there is no such thing as fate."

"You are the person who decides how you live, after all, a killer die when they feel like dying, so buckle up litter murder, life won't be easy, but then and again, my life turns out alright, but that not what I want to tell you, I want to give you this."

Stated father as he hand me a necklace with a key on it.

"What is this father?"

The younger version of myself asked with great curiosity.

"This kakaka well, I will let you find out on your own, but let's just say it's the key to my family's greatest treasure, I'm sure she will be of use to you one day, happy seventh birthday my son."

That was the last time my father ever gave me something, but I'm sure whatever the hell is down there will make up for all the birthdays and Christmas he misses.

With that said, I swam directly into the whirlpool as it devours me and drags me down, well in this case leading me to OverDeath island.
