James was at a loss for words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had only recently taken over this body, and now he was being told that the previous owner's colleagues were dead. It felt surreal and overwhelming.
He thanked Mr. Scott for the information and directions to the graveyard. As he left the office, James couldn't shake off the feeling of sadness and guilt. He knew he shouldn't feel responsible for their deaths, but the weight of the situation weighed heavily on him.
Sometimes knowing the future wasn't exactly a good thing.
Determined to pay his respects, James made his way to the graveyard. It was a somber walk, with each step reminding him of the lives lost. He couldn't help but think about the families and friends left behind, grieving their loved ones because of this war.
As he reached the cemetery, James took a moment to compose himself. He knew he had to be strong for this moment, to show his respect and honor those who had passed away. Walking through the rows of tombstones, he finally found the resting place of Ryan, Sam, Mia, and Monica.
He stood there in silence, taking in the sight of the graves. Each one had a name engraved on it, a reminder of the lives that had been taken too soon. James felt a deep sadness wash over him as he thought about how he would have saved their lives, if he could have warned them in advance.
Taking a knee, James closed his eyes and said a silent prayer for the departed souls. He expressed his condolences and apologized for his lack of connection to them. He promised to honor their memories and live his life to the fullest, knowing that it was a privilege denied to them.
As he stood up, James felt a renewed sense of purpose. He knew he had been given a second chance at life, and he was determined to make the most of it.
James decided to reach out to the families of his friends to offer his support and share his condolences. He didn't lack money at the moment. Although he didn't know much about them, he did know that Mia, Monica, and Sam came from poor families. He decided to look out for their families and help them when they were in trouble. As for Ryan, he was a typical guy with wealthy parents.
James decided to dedicate himself to being a better person, to cherishing each day, and to never taking life for granted.
In the end, the tragedy served as a wake-up call for James. It reminded him of the fragility of life and the importance of living with purpose and gratitude and also having enough strength.
After mourning for a while, James decided to leave the graveyard and visit Carl in the hospital. As he had this thought, he sensed danger approaching within the range of his sensory ability. Without hesitation, he tried to teleport, looking at the dark energy-like thing trying to surround him.
However, even after using the teleportation ability, he failed to escape as the dark space had already covered a large area.
Before James had a chance to react further, the dark space that had enveloped him disappeared from the graveyard, taking him along.
Trapped within the dark space, James tried to teleport himself but found that the Teleportation ability had stopped working after the dark space had completely enclosed him.
This had never happened before. James tried to calm himself down and observed his surroundings.
"What the hell!" James shouted without holding back.
He had discovered what the dark space was.
'Dark dimension, this is definitely the dark dimension,' James thought.
The dark dimension, also known as Dormammu's dark dimension, is a unique and eerie realm that exists outside of normal space and time. It serves as the home and domain of the powerful and ancient mystical entity known as Dormammu.
'What is Dormammu doing here, and why has he kidnapped me?' James pondered about the enemy whom Dr. Strange was going to face in the near future.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise. The dark space that had enclosed him started opening to a wider area.
James cautiously exited the dark space and observed the surrounding vast dark space, coming to a conclusion.
'I am in the dark dimension,' James was now sure that he was not on Earth. The dark space had brought him far away from Earth. He didn't know how, but he instinctively knew that he was not on Earth.
He understood why his teleportation ability didn't work before. This dimension was Dormammu's dimension, a place where he ruled every speck of it. How would he allow James to use the space in his dimension?
Still, James's ability to teleport was only a weak version granted to him by the angel, allowing him to teleport only within a range of 10 meters. This demonstrated that Dormammu had a better understanding of space than James, who was still a novice and could only use the Teleportation ability due to the angel's grant.
This is why James was unable to teleport when the dark space enveloped him before being brought to the Dark dimension.
James attempted to use his Deva Path Ability and discovered that it still worked, although the amount of chakra he had to expend just to execute the attack and repel was immense. He had nearly depleted one fourth of his chakra after using it once.
He regretted testing because he had wasted his chakra in doing so. He was confused about why the ability to teleport did not work, but the ability of the Deva Path still functioned. Even though the Deva Path ability worked, it still consumed a large amount of chakra in this dark dimension.
So James had only his physical strength and his sword to rely on in the fight. He had to use the Deva Path ability sparingly.
He walked forward slowly and steadily, actively using his Sensory Ability to look out for any attacks, ready to intercept them.
