Chapter 5 - THE BEGINING

The boys walked for about 5 mins and

Finally the boys arrived to a brand-new, state-of-the-art arcade ,

The outside is sleek and modern, with a neon sign that blazes brightly in the night. Inside, it's a maze of flashing lights and blaring music.

The floors are shiny and clean, and the arcade machines are the latest and greatest. A line of excited kids and adults wait their turn,

and a lively crowd cheers on the players. The air is filled with the smell of popcorn and cotton candy, and the gaming energy is evident.

"Woow ,where do I even start from, there is just so much to do, so much to play "Noble said excitedly

Bringing out a $100 bill Erun said with a smirk "why don't we try them all" Noble searched his pocket and brought out a

hundred dollar bill too,smiled and said "get us something sweet"

Both boys came from rich families,Eruns father is a neurosurgeon in one of the top five hospitals in the country

Ofcourse the boy had access to the finer things of life, After a while Erun returned with a big bag

Assorted snacks,sweets and drinks could be seen ,them he dropped the bag beside Noble and said "let's begin"

both boys had the time of Thier life

Playing games while eating snacks,making bets on

who will beat each other's high score and finally,it was dark ,and it was time to go home , stretching his body

Noble said "I have to go home, I'm surprised my mom hasn't called me yet,

"can't you just stay a little or spend the night at my place, my mum wouldn't mind"

"I would have loved to buh I promised Luna I'll buy stuffs for her, graduation is in a weeks time so we'll have enough

time to see each other,anyways I gotta go "Noble said as he hanged his bag,

"It's not fair "Erun said in a sad voice,buh if it's for Luna-chan , I'm willing to accept it"Erun brightened up and said

"Bring it in"Noble said as he spread out his arms,"my regards to mum and Luna "Erun said,

"They'll hear " "oh take all these snacks for Luna,I've had my fill "Erun said as he hand over one of the bags to Noble

Noble collected the bag and made his way outside,he stoped a taxi, stated where he was going and entered

On the way to his house,Nobles school could be seen,and as the vehicle passed by it,he started to remember the

memories he made in the school,both happy and sad,and how his life would be moving forward

Suddenly everywhere started to become really bright, considering it was 7:45 at night this was very weird.

The vehicle Noble was in stopped along with other vehicles on the road,the driver turned off the vehicle

As everyone came out of the vehicle to look at the big bright purple circle

As the people of the city looked up at the sky,

they saw a light so bright it was almost blinding. The light was coming from a large purple circle the size of two full moons on the night sky,

this was hovering in the air. The circle was growing larger and larger, and the light was getting brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, the circle began to crack, and a figure started to emerge from it. The figure was humanoid in shape,

but its skin was a bright purple like the circle,its shape and colour was all that could be seen becaise of the almost blinding light

It had two long, thin arms, As the figure stepped out of the circle, the people below it began to scream in terror,

As some hurried back into Thier vehicles to drive home ,while the majority took out thier phones to film this.

The figure stepped out of the the circle and started hovering,as if searching for something.

Noble has always wanted to experience something life changing to improve his boring life,

But not that he is coming face to face with something not of this world, he's is having mixed feelings

At that moment the words of his dad's friend rang in his head "the men in armored suits"

"I shouldn't be here,Mom is waiting for me" Noble said to himself , as he entered into the vehicle and called to the driver

As the driver enterd the vehicle and started it ,Noble heard a voice in his head "FOUND YOU" and immediately

The vehicle and every electronic device around the area shut down ,it was like a power outage,that affected vehicles.

**Screeeeechhh** a loud insect like sound was heard,it was both annoying and deafening,the sound shattered the windows of the vehicles

Noble along with everyone made way to cover his ears,and close his eyes,which wasn't necessary but

With the pain they all felt from this,it was a reflex action,"FOUND YOU" the voice said again

And suddenly the sound stopped ,and as Noble opened his eyes everyone was on the ground,

He rushed to the driver and placed his ear the left side of his chest he found out he was still alive

He was so confused that he didn't notice the creature was now on the ground,walking towards him.

It was glowing white instead of the earlier purple, as it approached Noble, several thoughts ran through his head,

"Should I ask it for power ?,should I bow down ?,this is my one chance to change my life ,what should I do ?

I could perhaps ask it for super intelligence,as all these thoughts ran through Noble's head ,

He didn't notice how shaky he really was

And that he has started to subconsciously back up slowly as the creature approached him ,

He tripped on something and fell,on my to stand up and find out it was a person he tripped on.

It was at this point that it dawned on him,that this is not fantasy novel ,or Isekai where the makn character gets a wish from a god

From all he has seen a good god would not put this many people in this condition,there were better ways to this ,

and as that though hit him ,cold sweat ran down his cheek as he became pumped with adrenaline

And turned to run ,but as soon as he turned back the creature who was approaching from the front

Was now behind him and he couldn't move again,as it touched his forehead and said ,

"NOW THAT I SEE YOU UP CLOSE YOU LOOK LIKE HIM ,YOU WILL BE A FINE HOST " Then the creature smiled in the dark of the night .
