At night, Dad came home and I controlled my desire to jump on him and hug him with a really great effort. After ate dinner together, it was my first dinner with them after 16 whole years. I started to sob slowly, to which my parents asked me that why am I crying and I just said that dirt got in eyes. We finished our dinner and went to sleep.
Next morning, 4:30 AM---------
I got up early in the morning, washed my face and went out for a jog. I went to the mountain behind school and started to work out with basic Push ups, Squats, etc. Yesterday when I dodged Gian's punch I found out that it took too much of my stamina. 'If even dodging a single punch from a 12 year old snot-nosed brat was taking so much stamina then I should just say goodbye to my sorry a**.' Nobita thought to himself.
"With this physique forget about protecting my loved ones, I won't even be able to protect myself from some low ranked monsters...ugh....." Nobita said to himself exhausted.
Like that I finished workout and thought to myself '.....ugh....What the f**k...why can't I even do 15 push-ups properly with my current body, I didn't even do half of what I used to do....just how much of a wimp was I....!?'
Today I came here not only to work out but to get something too, I went deep into the backhill and came across a normal looling small shrine. I used to come here often but never took notice of it but there was a shortsword inside the shrine, a rusty looking shortsword at that but what I didn't knew at that time was this normal looking shortsword will make a person a monster in the times of apocalypse. This rusty looking shortsword was actually a "God-Grade" Mana Relic, [Eternal Slumber].
During the apocalypse ranks of Mana Relics went like this [Common]<[Rare]<[Unique]<[Legendary]
<[Mythic]<[Heavenly]<[God]
every Mana Relic had it's own benefit with lower ranked having some minor benefits and higher ones having greater benefits but
"God-Grade" like the name suggests makes a normal human a god-like existence among normal humans and the [Eternal Slumber] was an item that was a really cheat-like item.
During the apocalypse when a new energy called 'Mana' started to spread throughout the earth many different weapons turned into what people called a "Mana Relic". Mana- Relics were basically a weapons which were able to adapt to the user's Mana and bring the user's full potential although normal weapons also works, it's not as efficient as a Mana Relic and if high ranked ones used normal weapons it will break the moment they inject their Mana into it, not being able to withstand the sheer amount of Mana.
Although I don't know much about the item, The person who got it was one of the top ranked "Players" as they used to refer to themselves. At first he was a dependable player but later as the humans started to form a civilization again he showed his true colors, he started his guild [Dark Domain] through which he started to do his dirty deeds like illegal slave trading, killing people for money, money laundering and even did inhumane experiments on humans making something like a Chimera.
He was later caught and executed which took 90 high ranked Players all around the world. Yes, that's how dangerous he was or I should say the weapon was. So, that's why I decided to lessen some burden from humanity's shoulder by taking this although I wasn't good at wielding daggers or shortswords. Who can't learn things? And I should sometimes try some new things too.
Although I don't know what abilities it has I do remember it makes the opponent fall asleep when cut by it. 'Ah..... Whatever I will eventually find out what I does when apocalypse starts. I only have six months I have to prepare well or else I'm f**king dead' I thought to myself with a grim expression.
Like that I started to head home, although I don't want to I have to continue school otherwise mom will eat me alive. I kept walking like that got down the hill and started to jog to home I had many kind of thoughts and worries in my head and while jogging like that I passed through a familiar face. I stopped on my tracks and started looking at that familiar person.
'Nobita, don't lose hope I'm here with you'
a memory flased by his head.
'Nobita, don't overwork yourself we're also there to help you' once more.
'Nobita....run....'
tears started to stream down his eyes subconsciously, and he kept looking at her unconsciously.
"Seina...." He slowly muttered under his breath.
