Am I getting crazy? Or what? Undoubtedly, I heard a voice, and it was the one that woke me up.
Delvin was in a confused state. He roamed here and there.
'You are not crazy, Delvin. My name is Andy and I will be your assistant.'
Acrymonta the other day and now Andy? What is going on? Please tell me what is going on?
Delvin fumed at this moment, as he posed a question to the voice in his head in anger. The other reason could be that he did not have enough rest and he definitely had been disturbed.
A display popped up in his mind.
'Ancrynoid system would like to sync with your body. Do you accept or not?'
Two words appeared on the display, Yes or No?
Andy resumed, 'Ancrynoid is the system created by Acrymonta. Its main purpose is to help the human race. You had it within you. If you say yes, you will completely become a new species and the first in human history. If you say no, Acrymonta and I will disappear from your life, and we will both never bother you again.'
Delvin was left in a dilemma. He did not understand any of the things happening in his life currently. The best option now was to select yes, because everything from yesterday was strange. He would rather play with it and see where it leads him. He thought about it intently.
Andy went on, 'take your time because the effects are irreversible.'
This must be an interesting thing, it was now clear why he was being hunted in Combroidan. It could not be a coincidence.
What am I going to lose or gain? It doesn't matter.
He made up his mind and articulated, Yes.
Andy asked, 'Are you sure?'
To get a confirmation.
I am positive.
Delvin affirmed, immediately, a clang sound rang, 'Synchronization in progress.'
His body began to vibrate violently, a thunderstorm sound resonated in his head. His head felt like it was exploding. The pain was very excruciating, such that he lost consciousness.
Ten minutes later, he regained consciousness. There came a familiar voice, 'Congratulations Delvin, you are the first humanoid cherubim.'
Cherubim? What is that?
Delvin's question went unanswered once again. Next, a computer-automated voice enunciated:
'ATTRIBUTES
(Intellect Five point five)
(Eyesight two point five)
(Stamina zero point five)
(Agility zero point five)
(Strength two point five)
(Race: humanoid cherubim)
The transformation phase.'
Delvin felt his back reap apart. His t-shirt was torn into pieces. Something started germinating behind his back, at the same time blood gushed out like fountain and stained the floor.
Every fiber of his body was itching and in pain. The agony was so severe, torturous, throbbing, but he endured it. If he was given the same option, he would rather choose, the option,No.
The torturous process went on for five minutes, then the agony started decreasing slowly until it finally came to a stop.
A computer-automated voice proclaimed, 'The transformation phase is now complete.'
Delvin felt things on his back, it was like he was carrying something on his back but not so heavy. He twisted his head to see what was there. His eyes grew wide, this was not happening, it must be a dream. He observed for about thirty seconds.
He thought, I am definitely in a dream. Because such things only happen in dreams or movies.
He twisted his head so much further that his neck even ached just to see clearly on what was on his back.
In a flash, he stood in front of a mirror. They were two gray whitish wings, pretty glittering. They were the most beautiful things he had ever seen in his life.
He muttered in amazement, 'Wow! These wings are incredible. I bet the Humans will call me angel Gabriel.'
By now he did not feel like a normal human being, he felt like a super being. Actually, he was a super being. Joy filled his entire being.
Does this mean I can fly?
His own assistant Andy chuckled, 'Yes Delvin, that is one of the benefits of becoming a cherub.'
Are there more benefits?
'Yes, but be patient. You will know them in time. And most importantly, you have to earn them.'
Delvin flapped his wings. The reflex came naturally, he did not need to put in any effort. He only thought about it and it took effect. Just like raising your hand or leg.
'You do have the ability to lock them up by placing the wing lock on the display, or you could use the voice command.'
Andy notified him, Delvin came to a realization that his life was not going to be the same ever again, this had to be his new normal. Delvin decided to use the voice command wing lock option.
'Wing lock?'
Automatically, the wings retracted inside his body. He felt so light and full of strength.
Delvin sat down, proceeded to observe his body, everything was normal, nothing strange, a hundred percent human. He pinched himself, there was pain, so I am not invincible. Anyway, I like this version of myself.
In the Milky Way Galaxy, on a planet called Zubie, plans were being set in motion.
'Cantanias?'
'My lord.'
'This is the set time, prepare the troops, we will invade the weak spot of planet Earth, I need new slaves, and our workload is increasing very fast. It is the only planet in the Milky Galaxy standing in my path. How much of the water have we sucked from that planet?'
It is his majesty King Agaganeeyaa, the ruler of the mighty Amatanganya, who is one of the five superpowers of the universe.
The mighty Amatanganya are known for their brutal force, ruthless, and unmerciful acts. They have subdued all the inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy except planet earth. In order to take over the earth, what other way than to drain its water?
Their technology is very advanced. Planet earth could not compare to it, though Planet Earth is still a threat to this mighty Amatanganya.
Cantaniaa began, 'My lord, we have sucked all the water out. Humans have been dying terribly. They are at their weakest point. I guess we will not even face any resistance once we invade it.'
Cantaniaa is second in command to King Agaganeeyaa, who must be following in the footsteps of his father, King Agatha. He is even more ruthless. They call him the death breeder.
'Very good Cantaniaa, we will start our voyage in the next two moons. Make sure all the flying ships are intact. I want to test the blood of Earth. It must be quite exquisite, I suppose. Alright, get off my sight, I want to rest now.'
King Agaganeeyaa his leaned his hands on the gold armchair, clustered with diamonds and rubies.
Right away, Cantaniaa bowed his head and took his leave. His back was covered with a grayish alloy, and his long tail scrolling on the floor, he vanished in the thin air after exiting the front door.
Back on Plagatoscal city on the fifth floor, third door, there came a knock. Delvin knew who it was, no need to think about it.
It must be George, without doubt I need to clean this blood.
Delvin took the torn t-shirt, then started wiping out the stained blood on the floor. He did this because he had not completely understood what was happening to him, and how could he explain it to George?
The best option for now was to keep all the earlier incidences a secret. A second knock followed up coupled up with a familiar voice, 'Delvin?'
Delvin was almost done cleaning. Smoothly he cleared his throat, 'Just a minute! I am coming to open up.'
Delvin pushed the torn t-shirt under his bed, rushed to the door, unlocked it and George let himself in.
Delvin, to disguise his earlier incident. Spoke first, in a moderate tone, 'Hello George!'
He did grin like a chasire cat. George cross-examined Delvin intently. His gut told him there was something wrong with his attitude.
He replied with a curious frowning face, 'Hello, Delvin. Something smells fishy here?' He gazed at delvin curiously.
