In an alleyway that was dark and there weren’t many people around, there was a boy with blonde golden hair and a girl with bright pink hair.
Matthew had seen this before. That’s right, when he was following Chia. This scene was replaying again.
Matthew knew that this was just a dream because this was the second time after all. However, unlike the first time, Matthew could properly see the features of everything.
The sun was already half through the noon and was headed to evening. The shadow created by the buildings made the alley darker than the street. There were two grown men in black suits lying on the ground. Matthew remembered that the boy beat them and let the woman go away.
Matthew felt a strange resonance between him and the boy. When Matthew squinted his eyes to get a closer look, he saw the boy’s face.
“Is that… Me?” Matthew asked wi
Matthew opened his eyes to a shocking surprise. The three chimaera siblings that he thought would be annihilated from his last attack were noisily eating by a campfire until they noticed Matthew.“How?” Matthew asked in one word as he couldn’t even describe what exactly he wanted to ask.“Ah, he’s awake! Quick, wipe your mouths!” Potolo forcefully wiped the mouths of Bartolo and Mala.After being told to wipe their mouths, all of them stood up and headed toward Matthew and…“We are glad that you have recovered, Master.”And they were down on one knee and said that with their heads low.Matthew was utterly shocked again. “Wha…”“Master has been asleep for a few hours. It seemed the cause of it was body exhaustion. If you are hungry, then please help yourself to
Matthew was looking up. His eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment. A giant shadow forecast over him as well the chimaeras behind him.The owner of the shadow was a large winged being with bluewhite scales. Its eyes were green and shone dimly in its own shadow. Its wings made it appear bigger. It was standing on two legs and it also had a pair of arms. It gave off a very intimidating presence with just its appearance alone.It was the Elemental Dragon Emperor, Platinum!…..A few minutes ago…It was the day after Matthew fought the chimaera siblings. Matthew had woken up to a surprise when the chimaeras survived his attack and even more so when they suddenly proclaimed him as their master. Well, only Potolo was very enthusiastic about that.Matthew accepted them since they might be useful later. He was invited to dinner by the siblings
The Alpine Mountain, also known as Mount Alps, was one of the many mountains on the Rex mountain range. It was the highest peak in the world with more than 5000 metres in height. It was smaller than the tallest mountain that Matthew knew.Matthew, along with his chimaera servants, were headed to that mountain on the back of the Elemental Dragon Emperor, Platinum, who invited them to her home for some reason. Not far behind was a dragon with green scales that was an apprentice of Platinum named Chloe.They were flying at about cruising speed since Matthew didn’t feel the rush of air on his face that much, but they soon arrived at their destination. Platinum did not fly all the way to the peak. She flew to about a third of the height where they could see a large open area in front of a cave that was also big. One could maybe even build a house there.Platinum landed in the middle of the open area. Platinum was also q
“I am your grandmother.” The woman in front of Matthew said.Matthew was more than just surprised. He also thought it was ridiculous. She looked way too young to give the impression of a grandmother. In Matthew’s common sense, it sounded impossible. But he also felt that it was true.“Grandma?” Matthew subconsciously said that.The woman’s smile became wider and tears welled up in her eyes.“I never thought I would be able to hear those words from my grandchildren. Matthew, I am so, so happy to see you.”The woman hugged Matthew tightly. Matthew still had a look of surprise on his face. He slowly moved his hands and hugged her back as he closed his eyes as if really embracing her. He really did feel like she was, as she says, his grandmother.Platinum simply smiled watching the family reunion. Chloe was astonish
“They’re dead.”The truth was revealed before Raisya by Matthew. Raisya let out a very soft gasp.“No way.” Raisya denied him. “I did not train Rin to be so weak. What kind of enemy did she face to have been killed?” She seemed angry.“Me. I was that enemy.” Matthew said with a low voice.Raisya’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”Matthew took a deep breath and said the next few words with a slightly louder voice than before. “I… I killed them.”Matthew told her the thing that he had kept bottled up. It was not exactly a secret. Matthew simply hasn't told anyone else aside from Susan who already knew. The next person to know was the mother of one of his parents. The worst person to know about it, was what Matthew thought.“Matt.” Raisya
It was night time and the stars were scattered across the sky. Matthew and Raisya were sitting at a table on a balcony. There was a teapot and also three cups on the table, all filled with black coffee. Matthew and Raisya had continued to talk about many topics from noon till night almost without stopping. Matthew told Raisya all about his life back on Earth. About school, about phones, computers, his other grandparents, his uncle and aunt and his brother. Raisya was very fascinated by how common such technology was. There were similar things like communication systems and data processing and storage in Magiheim but they were exclusive for governmental use and other companies or organisations that had been given permission. Common people did not have these in Magiheim. Schools were not really different. Magiheim always had schools that taught science, mathematics, history, religion, magic, an
At the Winged Gears hideout.About an hour after Matthew accidentally teleported.All five members of the criminal group were gathered at the basement of the hideout.Jade was standing in front of the incomplete teleportation chamber with a light blue sphere that was faintly glowing in his right hand. Nazu and Alex were searching through many boxes that were now on the floor. Tina and Susan were merely standing in the middle of the basement."To think that he teleported somewhere just like that." Tina muttered while cupping her chin. Her glasses were shining under the light."Are we sure that he teleported though?" Susan asked."Yeah. What if he just made a break for it after finding all this?" Nazu added."I'm sure. If he wanted to run away, he would've taken Yggdrasil's crystal too." Jade stood up as he said that. "I don't exactly know
Jade’s POVSince I was a child, I have always been a great inventor.I managed to create a smartphone from scraps of old broken phones once. Of course, such a thing was already widely used and the working garbage I created had no worth. But to me, it was something that inspired me.Kind of weird, huh? Inspired by your own garbage.I started taking classes focused on science in school and majored in computer science in college. Many inventions were created, be it special or not, I felt pride in my own work.Each success and failure gave me motivation. Nothing stopped me from inventing things. It was my passion to keep making things. Be it something that’s already made, an improvement to them or a completely new product. I was happy about it all.That was until I started working.At first, it was fine. I got a decent job at a te
