" I don't have time for this nonsense or stupid mind games, if you want to say something then just say it damn it "
I turned my phone off and I put it back in my pocket. The guy I wanted to beat up started running away and I let him go but out nowhere I felt a strange feeling
A few minutes back when I was walking while talking to Rin, there was a guy on top of a building far away from us, he was dress in a full black suit with a pair of black gloves and he had just finished setting his sniper rifle
" Hmmmmm so that's him, the guy who's got the mistress worried. He looks too normal, I don't see anything special about him anyways I'll remove all the obstacles "
First I'll watch for a little while, if the rumors are true then something is bound to happen
The guy was surprised after watching as I encountered and quickly destroyed the three men who were rude to us, So he started to take aim so that he can go for the kill
" I see, so it's true Rick.... You ... Are .... The one "
[ Your Special skill DARK THOUGHTS has activated ]
A special skill dark thoughts it sounds cool, what is this I feel lighter and calmer. I feel like I've gone back to my usual self but what caused me to act like that, I've never been the type to on the offensive like that.....
Before I finished what I was thinking, everything started to move slowly like time was freezing down and I was able to move normally looked at the ground there was blood it was from the two guys I smashed in the ground
My head started to feel dizzy as I saw it, there was a ball of black energy in front of me and it started materialize, it looked like a a status window except it's design was different and it entire black then text appeared in white saying
[ Welcome to your DARK THOUGHTS ]
After I read the text everything turned back to normal all the anger I had towards the guy I called was gone and Rin held on to my arm as looked down with a straight face thinking about what just happened
[ DARK THOUGHTS : You should activate your skill hands of darkness if you don't want to die because someone is about to kill you and yes I know you don't how to do it so just say in your head. The will be taken care of ]
The text from skill were right in front of me in the black box but there were also in my head simultaneously. I wanted hesitate but then I remembered my favorite game surviving in a lawless world
I remembered that in that game a second of delay can mean win or lose which in the real world can determine whether you live or die that's something you need to know to survive in a lawless world so I didn't waste anytime and tried it out
Now activate exclusive hands of darkness
As I activated my skill, The Man with Sniper already locked on to me and he had a clear view so he fired a shot directly aim at my head but at the precise moment the bullet was about to hit it stopped in midair and I was looking at it because it was stopped really close to my face
" Quite impressive but not good enough and I was saved just in the nick of time. I wonder who trying kill me.... all well it doesn't matter I'm sure they'll have some answers I'm looking for "
The guy started to freak out as he saw the bullet he fire should had hit but I was still standing, Rin was taken by surprise because of floating bullet right next to my face so she took a step back and fell down it was like she wouldn't move because of fear.
" What the! Did I miss, no that's not possible but that's the only explanation, yeah that's it I must have just missed him I'll try again just to be safe and if it doesn't work I'll just run away " he said
He tried to convince himself that he had missed me so he decided to try again but he was shaking from fear despite he still manage to pull the trigger. The bullet was stopped even further away from me that time and all I could see were the hands holding the two bullets in place which to Rin and assassin looked like they were floating in front of me.
[ DARK THOUGHTS: The person trying to kill you is an assassin, he is on the roof top of the tallest building you can see, kill him! ]
" How interesting, get rid of him hands of darkness " I said seriously
As soon as I finished giving the order, a black shadow like line from my shadow started moving fast towards the tallest building it was so fast and was moving like a snake. The Assassin saw something dark heading his way and he started running but it was too late because the entire building was enveloped in the darkness
The dark shadow like hands started grabbing him while pulling him down into their shadow. Then they shallowed him completely and they disappeared then the bullets fell down and i looked at Rin
Rin was still frozen in fear because she was afraid of me and I didn't want to waste time on someone who is afraid of me, so I decided to leave her and I continued walking while learning about the special skill dark thoughts
Hey I'm curious do have the answers to my questions?
[ DARK THOUGHTS: yes and no. I have answers to some of questions like how you lost control of your calm attitude with those three men earlier I know the answer to that one and many more like it but for the one you want to know the most i don't ]
In other words you are useless, you can turn off now I've decided I don't need you
[ DARK THOUGHTS: how cold, you want to turn me before I've even shown my worth. Alright the reason you attacked those earlier were the results of your treatment it was some sort of side effect ]
Side effects that's new, what kind of treatment did I undergo then, you've got me curious so tell me
[ DARK THOUGHTS: for the treatment you went through you don't need to know what happened ,all you need to know is that you survived because you the chosen one and treatment's side effect will unexpectedly turn you into an edge lord ]
Now that's stupid, especially since it doesn't help me at all when it comes to finding my sister
After a few minutes of asking and answering questions. I arrived in front of a bath house so I decided to go in and take a quick bath. The place was empty but every was running smoothly including the water and when I passed the door to enter the bath house I heard weird sound followed by a robot like voice of a woman
" Thank you for visiting our bath house, the payment was automatically deducted from your coins as you passed through the door. Please enjoy "
So I entered, took a shower and when I got out I found new clothes prepared for me there was a light blue shirt and a blue jean with a pair of black shoes. There not the type of clothes I would normally wear but I had no choice so I put them on
I got out the bath only to find Rin standing in front and she looked like she was waiting for me. I looked at her and she looked a lot calmer then she walked up to me and said
" Hey.....why did you just leave me like that, you could have at least waited for me you know " she looked shy as she said it in low voice it was almost like whisper
" You looked like you were struck in your own little world and I didn't want to disturb you so I left " I answered with a poker face
" I've got a lot of questions but it can wait for now, I'm just glad you are alright and the others wanted to meet you so let's go this way " she said as pointed to the left
Originally I was heading towards to the right road but I decided to follow her to the left since I couldn't go home even if I wanted to and the special skill didn't deactivate
[ DARK THOUGHTS: Rick, this woman is unstable she can be a threat in the future if not approached carefully. Do you want to kill her now or you'll do it later ]
Shut it, who put you in charge.... I'll be the one to determine who's a threat and who's not besides she's the only ally I have right now, when out lives her usefulness.... then I'll get rid of her
With that the special skill went silent, I was grateful since it answered most my questions but overall I just found it useless and annoying, I learned what the third event was all about from it.The third event was called the selfless game of sacrifice
The event basically wanted everyone to sacrifice what is the most important thing in their lives regardless of what it is. There were a given a grace period of two days to learn or find what's most important to them so obviously everyone panicked after reading all the requirements and consequences because the event was like
[ Event C
THE SELFLESS GAME OF SACRIFICE
Requirements: sacrifice your life's purpose
Event details: time to show how selfless you are, give up the most important thing in your life if it's a material thing give it to leader if not just identify it and then wait for further instructions. Just know that the greater the sacrifice the less the punishment and the bigger the reward
Rewards: will depend on your kindness
Upon failure: ?????????????
Timer: 1 week ]
Honestly I found it really interesting, I wished that I had participated but I couldn't and obviously the results were really brutal most people lost their selves because some had no Idea what was most important to them or others were selfish
I wonder what Rin and her team mates sacrificed, not that it matters anyways asking will just be a waste of time
After walking for half an hour we finally arrived at a big good looking house, it looked like so some sort of Minister's house and two people came out their faces were familiar it was the boy in highschool uniform I met back at the bus and the girl whose cat I killed
" Oh my, I wasn't expecting to run into so soon because when Rin said she bringing someone Interesting with her, you were the last person on my mind " Aimi said with a sinister smile
Aimi I never paid that much attention to her but she was cute in her own way, her golden hair and green eyes complimented each other and she was wearing a cute white dress which made a good combination with her bursty figure. I was surprised because she didn't look like she hated me for what I did
And I remembered Rin mentioning that the boy's name was Yuto. The last imagine I had of him was when he wearing a highschool uniform so that was the name I called him in my head but this time he was wearing different clothing
He was wearing a white buttoned shirt, with a pair of black trousers and he was wearing a pair black white shoes which in overall looked good on him. After greeting each other we decided to enter the house and continue talking in there
" So Rick, I'm sure you have been told that you need to be part of a team and there's only the three of us. So what do you think about joining ours " Aimi asked seriously and then I said
" Oh okay I'm fine with that "
" That's all you have to say " Aimi was surprised by my uninterested response " anyways it doesn't matter just make sure you keep your distance, I still hate you "
The way things turned out was okay with me because I thought the more allies I had the better my chances of finding my sister since I didn't have a single clue of where to start looking for her so i agreed to join them and our leader was Aimi
" Quick question guys. What's the name of our group I know that each group needs one " I asked then Rin
" Well it's a bit complicated, we didn't come up with a name so people started calling us the NAMELESS while others called us COLD ZERO so we went with nameless and that's the group's name "
