About one week after the estate began its reconstruction (which started one month after the attack), a mysterious boy showed up at the gates…
Lieutenant; madam, there seems to be a young man at the gates, he looks to be about 14 or so.
Lara; and why do you bring this to my attention?
Lieutenant; because that boy seems to be showing some abnormal on our sensors, but that can only happen if,
Lara; restrain him and bring him to me.
A few minutes later…
Lara to the boy in her office; so kid, what's your name?
The boy; I don't understand what you're saying?
Lara (in English); oh, you don't speak Japanese then, you must be a foreigner. What's your name? How old are you?
The boy; I'm Noah, and I'm 24, I think.
Lara; where did you come from, why are you here?
Two days ago.
Noah in a house at the countryside; pardon me, but who are you? Can I please get your name?
For now, just call me Stan.
Noah; ok Stan, when I appeared out of no were straight from that portal, why did you help me, and how did you know I'd be there.
[check the final chapter epilogue for more context]
Stan, after sipping some tea; there are a lot of questions you have for me, don't worry, they will be answered in time, but for now, I want you to trust me on this, I am not your enemy and I want the best for you and this world as well.
Noah; how can I trust you?
Stan; you are looking for your friend Zane right? I can help you find him.
Noah; how?
Stan; 1st, you need to get to the Da-gen clan, and ask for someone named…
Noah; Jeremiah Wilson, I need to see him.
Lara, with a shocked expression; how do you know that name?
Noah; I'm looking for my friend, I heard he can help me find him.
Lara; *I don't know who this kid is, but if Jerry is involved in this, then I have to see this through*
Ok, I've decided to let you meet Jerry, only if you tell me what the name of this friend of yours name is.
Noah; his name is Zane.
A few hours later…
Jerry; So kid, who are you, and how do you know me?
Stan; 2nd tell him everything.
Noah; someone wearing white told me to meet you. My name is Noah, what I'm about to say might sound unbelievable but it's all true and it's an amazing story about…
Jerry; ok, alright, I get the point, just tell me already.
A long time ago, in another world, Noah was a poor orphan just living on the streets with barely food or water, till one day by accident, he got involved in a fight between espers and almost got killed, however the victor of the fight took the boy in and took care of him for a few years before he was also killed.
But before he died, Noah was saved by small group of espers who came together under a common ideology, they brought him to their master, who turned out to be his grandfather, but changed his mind after he discovered that this boy was in fact, a child of prophecy, a chosen one who would defeat an unspeakable evil that will befall them. By the command of their master, the four espers projected their powers into him, and they awaked in him the ultimate ESP, but sadly, the old master was killed that night by the head of an evil esper group who lived deep within a strange forest. Devastated by the loss of his grandfather, he took charge of the team
Noah and his team, Ken, Zane, Mariel and Coby, all went to the forest to end the evil espers reign of terror. And thanks to their valiant effort, they succeeded in bringing down the leader and peace was restored. However, the young heroes weren't out of the woods yet, they we're stuck in the forest and had no idea how to get out. So after a strange zombie horde attack the gang came to a strange place in the forest were they discovered it. It was an interdimensional gateway they mistook for a fire, and when Zane got too close, he was sucked in, and not long after that Noah went in after him leaving Kai and Mariel alone in that treacherous forest.
Jerry; ok, so that was a lot to take in.
Noah; If you don't believe me, it's fine.
Jerry; so what ESP do you have?
Noah; at my peak, I can reshuffle atoms.
Jerry; you can reshuffle atoms? Like what.
Noah; that chair you're sitting on, it's now water.
After saying that Jerry fell from his seat and was soaked.
Noah; now do you understand? I, can change the state of matter around me by shuffling the atoms that make them up.
Jerry, surprised; that means you're overpowered as hell!
Noah; overpowered?
Jerry; it means you're really strong.
Noah; oh, ok.
Jerry; any small details you're missing out?
Noah; oh, a lot! For example, before we got to the forest, we had to fight this hole evil organization called the Lin Kuei and I tell you, they we're tough as well! Also, the leader of the dark espers in the forest was the guy who killed my parents, and another thing, there these things called cosmic gems. They're 3 of them and are basically space rocks that are powerful as hell. And also…
Jerry; wait, back it up, cosmic gems?
Noah; yeah, at 1st I couldn't believe it, but they're supposed to be there 3 gems, that we're created by the universe, which are blue, yellow and red. Which can control space, time and atoms respectively.
Jerry; so, does the red one have anything to do with your ability?
Noah; I have no idea, I've never seen them before.
Jerry; will we see them in upcoming chapters?
Noah; probably not. Seems we're a long way before that point.
Jerry; I see. We'll it's nice to meet you Noah, you're a pretty chill guy.
Noah; chill?
Jerry; yeah, it means I like you.
Noah; oh that's good then. As long as It's not homo.
Jerry; I like women only.
Noah; good.
Two weeks later…
Jerry; do you have to go so soon?
Noah; I do, my friend is out there, and I have no idea if he's ok or not, but hopefully, our paths will meet again.
Jake; well, good luck then.
And so Noah set off on his quest to find his missing friend in another world…
