《The Overlord is running out of Internet Data》 Prologue Place- Vondon, the capital city of Askiala. Time: 12:34 pm Another busy day in the city as ever. The major nations have agreed on signing a treaty among themselves, hence there¡¯s been peace for a while. Unlike many others, the country of Askiala also opened trade market and the country been flourishing since. Therefore the capital city¡¯s market has always been busy like a bee. It seemed another normal peaceful day for the capital city of Vondon. At the same time, 12,000 m just above the city. A scrawny looking boy wearing a pair of withered shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with a word ¡®OTAKU¡¯ embedded on the in it with bold letters. His messy long hair fluttered in the air as he soars in the sky. It¡¯s been more than a month since he had combed his hair properly. He also needed a shave as his half grown beard could clearly tell how tardy he was. He also was wearing a pair of wooden slippers. Technically he wasn¡¯t flying in the sky but falling instead. 10,000 m and dropping rapidly. This young boy who was in hislate teens was none other than Alex Dcosta. The overlord of the recently formed new country that called itself the kingdom of New Japan. I know how ridiculous and crazy this sounds but the craziest part has yet to come. Alex stretched his arms as he fell down rapidly piercing clouds in its way. ¡°So this is how it feels to skydive, huh!¡±, he grabbed his tummy in mid-air, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have eaten my lunch before doing this, I feel sick!¡± His face looked a bit pale that was to be expected. No one should immediately skydive just after eating. He had that coming. Alex had no parachute or any other magic abilities that could save him from crashing down the ground. Any other man in his situation would have been panicking and pissing himself, right about now. As for his motive for this action was to infiltrate the royal palace of Askiala. Let me correct that, infiltrate more like storm the palace alone. Infiltrate meant to sneak his way inside but that wasn¡¯t Alex¡¯s style. 8, 000 m and dropping rapidly. Alex glanced at the city below. It was a beautiful city with lots of beautiful and tall buildings. It also had lots of marble statues of gods and goddess that the city folks worshipped. The roads were accurately constructed to providing an acute transport service, especially for the military to fortify and defend the capital in a time of an invasion. ¡°Wow, this place is crawling with people! Similar to my city back on earth. This brings back memories.¡±, he spoke out to himself as he reminisced about his life back when he was alive on earth. 5,000 m approx¡­ He suddenly crashed with the barrier formed by the city mages to protect the capital. His fall was stopped in the mid-air by the invisible wall. He fell right on his face on top of the invisible barrier. After a few seconds, he got up and rubbed his face, ¡°Wow! So this must be the barrier protecting the city!¡±, he said to himself as he sat on the invisible barrier, ¡°So cool! I must get one for my capital as well! Anyway, I need to focus on the mission in hand. Not gonna let some freaky barrier in my way!¡± He balled up his fist to punch the barrier. Just when the barrier discharged loads of mana attack on Alex. That was the barrier self-defense mechanism which kept the enemy at bay. The city¡¯s barrier attack was powerful that even the mighty dragons would be burnt to a crisp. The powerful discharge attacked Alex and the roaring sounds like thunderbolt echoed throughout the sky. *** The throne room, Royal Palace of Vondon. The four of Admantite class squad captain¡¯s had been summoned in front of the king of Askiala. One of them was Dyrale, the squad captain of Wrecking Gorillas. He was huge in size with a muscly body and the wielder of the powerful destructive Axe of catastrophe. He was one of the powerful captains who could flatten a hill by a simple slash of his axe. The second was the Norelle Hirschman, the squad captain of Doomarrows. His archery skills were of top notch and he wielded the bow of Hermes one of the divine weapons. He was dressed in fine robes, unlike the other captains. He had a lot of pride in his skills as well of his handsome face. The third Captain was Sophia Tiara of the Quickthorn. She was one of the greatest mages and practitioner of fire element-based magic. She once single-handedly burnt down the 80,000 of enemy soldiers by a single spell. She also was quite a sadist and magic nerd so most of the people avoided her. The fourth Captain was Blade Flex of the Hollow Rats. He and his squad were mostly expertise in doing the dirty work for the king. He was one of the skilled assassins and many other kingdoms had placed a huge lump sum of bounty on his head. He also wasn¡¯t much of a talker and very little was known about him and his personal life. All the four captains were a walking powerhouse. One of the 4 strongest soldiers in the entire nation of Askiala had gathered under the same roof under the king''s summons. They seemed to be discussing some important affairs. Just when a loud rumbling that shook the entire castle. ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this? An earthquake?¡±, asked the king who got a bit tense. Although the 4 captains were calm and composed. They had been to worse so little shaking ground was nothing. As expected of the adamantine squad captains. Dyrale took a sniff with his nose, ¡°I smell an intruder.¡±, he said. He possessed instincts like an animal. ¡°Haha! I guess you¡¯re an animal through and through. As expected of the Captain of Wrecking Gorilla, both you and your squadmates are savage beasts. How unsightly.¡±, said the squad captain Norelle with a disgusted expression. ¡°Do you want me to mess your pretty face?¡±, asked Dyrale as he angrily glared back at Norelle. To his question, Norelle simply stoke his own hair and looked the other way, ¡°Who would be stupid enough to raid the royal palace, when four squad captains are here. Stop acting like a mindless beast and live like a human being for once. Try getting a girlfriend for change or something.¡±, he then straightened his collar and glared back at Dyrale, ¡°I guess you can¡¯t score any girl with that ugly mug of yours. Haha!" Dyrale took out his big axe from his back, ¡°That¡¯s it! I will squash you like a bug, that you are.¡± ¡°Bring it on! I will put you out of your misery life.¡±, scowled back Norelle. He stretched his hands and suddenly a mystical bow of Hermes and arrow appeared out of thin air. ¡°Hey, guys! The rumbling sound¡¯s getting closer.¡±, asked Sophia as she sat on the ground with one of her ears attached down the floor.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Norelle and Dyrale also noticed something was approaching towards the throne room. The noise came from above. Even the ceiling was shaking and suddenly the big chandelier came crashing down. Sophia raised her hands, ¡°Inferno blaze!¡±, suddenly a huge blast of fire appeared out of thin air and burnt the big chandelier to a crisp before it could fall down on the ground. Blade flex immediately went beside the king to protect him. ¡°You crazy chic! Are you trying to pick a fight?! Keep your flames under control!¡±, shrieked out Dyrale who barely managed to avoid her fire spell. ¡°I agree.¡±, answered Norelle, ¡°You need to work on your feminine attributes Sophia, otherwise, you would never get a man for yourself. Good thing that your spell didn¡¯t hit Dyrale. The last thing I wanna smell is a barbequed oversized gorilla.¡± ¡°Now you have done it, pretty boy!¡±, screamed Dyrale angrily as he charged towards Norelle. Just when the ceiling blasted and from the ceiling came out Alex who made a grand entrance. He came down while bringing out tons of rubbles along with him in the throne room. The room was filled with dusty air and rubbles all around. Norelle covered his mouth, ¡°Tch, this type of dust isn¡¯t good for my beautiful skin.¡± ¡°Who has the audacity to barge inside my palace?¡±, asked the King who stood up from his throne angrily. The king was an old man with a long beard dressed in fine robes like a typical king from a fantasy novel. The four captains were also eager to take a glance at this intruder who bravely barged in the palace directly in the throne room. Alex managed to puncture a hole in the barrier and made his way directly to the throne room. He fell right on the royal palace and blasted his way down to the throne room. The intruder was visible once the dust settled down from all the wreckage he caused. They were surprised to see Alex who was just a poorly dressed boy. ¡°Who is this brat?¡±, asked Norelle, ¡°That attire is utterly despicable. Because of this wreckage, he managed to soil my clothes with all this dust¡± ¡°He has a lot of guts nonetheless to invade the palace when four squad captains are being summoned. Poor guy!¡±, said Sophia as she had this crazy look and a lunatic smile. ¡°Can I please burn him?¡±, she asked. ¡°Let me squash this bug and then I would be stomping on your pretty face, next Norelle.¡±, said the Dyrale. Alex got up on his feet, ¡°This must be the throne room! Ojamashimasu!¡±, he said. ¡°I really wanted to say that line for so long. Haha!¡±, he answered with his eyes sparkled with joy. As expected of a typical otaku weeb who gets pleasure by utilizing simple Japanese words. He wasn¡¯t even Japanese but he had high regards for them, especially for anime and mangas. Hence when he transmigrated to this world, he created his own country named it New Japan. Alex took a glance around him, just to find that four squad captains were standing right in front of them. But that didn¡¯t faze him. He raised his hand and looked at the king seated on the throne, ¡°Yo! I guess you must be the king of Askiala! I am the king of your neighboring country, New Japan. So as your new neighbor, I just dropped by to say hello.¡± He lacked in the department of mannerism. He was chatting like the King of Askiala was his long childhood buddy. ¡°What nonsense! You barge in my palace just to say hello.¡±, asked the king angrily. At that question, Alex scratched his head worriedly, ¡°Well not just to say hello but I also have a favor to ask. If you don¡¯t mind.¡± The king got even angrier. ¡°Kill this imbecile at once.¡±, ordered the king. No one would grant a favor to a person who would all of sudden barge in your home and wrecks it. Dyrale stepped in and approached towards Alex, ¡°Let me be the one take him down. I really need to blow some steam, anyway.¡±, Dyrale stated as he readied to swing his axe. ¡°Wow, a talking gorilla! It¡¯s rare to find demi-human in human kingdoms and certainly didn¡¯t expect to find one in the royal palace.¡±, said Alex as he saw Dyrale. Dyrale swung his Axe swiftly, ¡°I am Human being as well. That¡¯s how my human face looks like always.¡±, he yelled angrily. There was a loud boom and the whole throne room split in half from his Axe. ¡°That¡¯s what you get to ridicule, Captain Dyrale.¡±, Dyrale added after he slashed the intruder along with the throne room in half with his mighty axe. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t go around swinging that axe or you would damage my new shirt.¡±, said Alex who was standing beside Dyrale. ¡°What the-, when did you get here?¡±, asked surprised Dyrale. He then again swung his axe horizontally but Alex easily jumped and evaded his slash. Dyrale¡¯s slash cut the room in another part horizontally. The pillars upholding the throne ceiling crumbled down but somehow the ceiling was still intact. Alex after jumping landed on top of Dyrale. He kept one of his foot on Dyrale¡¯s shoulder and the other on his head. ¡°You dare to step on me. I am going to kill you, brat!¡±, frowned Dyrale fiercely. ¡°For a wretched intruder, he¡¯s definitely quick on his foot. I am enjoying, how Dyrale is being fooled by him. Hahaha!¡±, said Norelle who watched happily as all this scene played out. ¡°This is amusing indeed.¡±, added Sophia who also seemed to be enjoying. Although, Blade flex who was standing beside the king looked a bit worried and started thinking, ¡®That kid managed to break through the three heavy classed barrier protecting the royal palace with ease. That is no ordinary boy for sure.¡¯ ¡°Just you wait! Let me kill this brat and then you would be next, Norelle!¡±, shrieked out Dyrale angrily after listening to his taunts. Dyrale dropped his axe down the ground and tried to grab Alex with his hands who was standing on top of him. ¡°Time to teach this gorilla a lesson!¡± said Alex, ¡°10,000 kg!¡± Suddenly Alex body weight changed to 10,000 kg. Dyrale suddenly fell on his knees and used his arm to support himself from falling down the ground. The ground below Dyrale''s knee started to crack and his leg started to submerge in the floor. ¡®This boy suddenly got so heavy. It felt as if suddenly an elephant was placed on top of my head.¡¯ thought Dyrale. ¡°You dare to mock one of the mightiest squad captains of Askiala, boy!¡±, he shrieked out angrily. ¡°Wow! You really are strong, gorilla man.¡±, said Alex who was standing on Dyrale shoulder proudly, ¡°Let¡¯s see! How about this. 50,000 kg¡± Just when he increased his weight, Dyrale fell flat on his face that his head buried under the floor. He quickly fell unconscious. Soon the other three squad captain¡¯s expression changed. Now they had started to take Alex a bit seriously. ¡°Well, I guess that¡¯s your limit.¡±, said Alex to the unconscious Dyrale. ¡°What is that you want?¡±, asked Norelle as he aimed his bow and arrow at Alex. Even Sophia had opened her grimoire to launch an attack spell on Alex. ¡°I just need a favor that¡¯s all!¡±, said Alex as he smiled nonchalantly and scratched his bushy hair, ¡°You see! My smartphone has ran out internet data and I really need to watch this next episode of this great anime that I am watching, right now!¡± Everyone in the room was confused. ¡°Smartphone? Is that some kind of a weapon or something?¡±, asked Norelle. Sophia had a slight glint in her eye, ¡°Internet data? Is that some kind of magic mana or something? This sounds very interesting! Now I am curious!¡±, said Sophia who had a wide grin on her face. She looked very creepy with that lunatic smile. Upon hearing their answer, Alex thought for a second. ¡°Well, it might be hard to explain in words to you old timers. But you could say that.¡±, he answered, ¡°So to replenish my internet plan, I need to fulfill a quest and that''s why I am here.¡± The king looked totally puzzled, ¡°So what¡¯s this so-called quest that bought you in my palace?¡±, asked the king. Alex had this forced smile for some reason and he scratched his hair more intensely for some reason, ¡°Well, it''s hard to say this. But let me clear one thing! I am no pervert, okay? I only like 2d girls, so don¡¯t take this the wrong way, okay? Just don¡¯t get angry!¡±, said Alex to the king. ¡°I am angry enough right now, for you to barge in my palace and destroying it. Just say it out already!¡±, said the king angrily. The king looked worried as he thought ¡®This guy easily took down Dyrale like it was nothing. There are still three captains here but there still would be a chance where I would lose my life if they waged an all-out battle right now. So hence I would try to stall him down until the reinforcement arrives.¡¯ ¡°You see the latest quest would replenish me total 1.2 GB of data. And for this latest quest, I would need your daughter¡¯s panties, unwashed one. So please! Please lend it to me! The kingdom of New Japan would be indebted to you forever.¡±, said Alex as he bowed his head gracefully. Sophia had a confused expression on her face, whereas Norelle had a disgusted expression. Even captain Blade was confused and puzzled. The king also was shocked and didn¡¯t believe his ears. ¡°Pardon? Can you repeat?¡±, asked the king. ¡°Oh, sure thing. I need your eldest daughter¡¯s unwashed panty. Please, lend it to me, for the greater good.¡±, repeated Alex and again once he bowed his head. The king nerves on his foreheads started throbbing in anger. ¡°Kill this vile man at once!¡±, he commanded the three captains. ¡°As you command.¡±, answered all the three captains in sync. ¡°I knew this won¡¯t go smooth as I expected.¡±, Alex dropped his nonchalant smile and looked serious, ¡°I would do anything to complete my quest, even if it means to tear down your country apart. I am just dying to watch, what happens in this next episode! Do you know the sorrow of watching an anime episode when they end that particular episode with a fucking cliffhanger! Do you? I really hate that! I just want to go slap the director of that anime studio myself but I guess I can¡¯t do that as long as I am stuck in this world. Stop wasting my time and just hand over your daughter''s filthy panties pretty please. You are king, two or three panties won''t be a big deal. I could also exchange my own underwear if you want.¡± ¡°What is this mad man babbling about?¡±, asked the confused Norelle. ¡°I think he¡¯s saying something about special power that is related to female undergarments of royalty. I guess I should research more about this new power. How intriguing!¡±, added Sophia. ¡°How dare you talk about my daughter! Slay him down at once.¡±, ordered the king. The Last Days- Part I Location- Alobile city, Huskor. Time- 2:34 pm. Huskor was one of the small countries in Europe. It wasn''t any famous or did stand out in any way. For most of the part, it was just a country town with lots of local people who''s the main source of income was through farming and animal husbandry. But moving inside the country, there was one city which was busiest like every other metropolitan city, Alobile city. It was located near the landlocked lake of Alobile city and was one of the prominent city for exporting freshwater fishes and minerals extract from the lakebed. The fishery industry and the mineral industry was one of the lifelines of Huskor. It was abundant with a wealth of resources and provided means of income and jobs for the citizens of Huskor. But even moving inside the city away from all these hustling bustling fishery industries and going further inside the Alobile city. There was the Bank of Alobile located on the street way opposite to the fish market. It was a government-affiliated bank who was in charge of keeping the records and safeguarding the money of the citizens of Huskor. Despite being a government bank, the bank itself was not a big or flashy bank, just your normal average bank for the common citizens of Huskor. It was one of the lesser branches of the main bank. Still, it was one of the most busybody offices in Alobile. "We need your address proof as well as an identity proof with a Xerox copy.", said one of the guys who was seated on the cashier desk. "As I said, this is my ID card and address proof!", addresses a woman as she points out to her ID card, "See this is me in this photo in my school uniform and in the back is my address." At her response, he brushed off his sweat from the brow as he thought, ''It''s already past my break time and even this dump of bank can''t afford one working air conditioner. The recent new air conditioner was installed in the manager''s cabin!'' This bank cashier was none other than Alex Dcosta, aged 38. He had combed his hair and oiled it backward properly. The hair was silky that it almost glittered from the tube light over his head. He was wearing a formal suit over his tie which was the dress code norms of the bank. His boots were polished and he wore his glasses despite the lens were fake. He looked like a typical office employee but this was all just a fabrication to blend in. He gulped up the saliva in his throat and wore his fake friendly customer service smile, "Madam, this is your school ID which is almost 60 years old. The bank can''t confirm if the photo of this person in this ID card is really you or not. Also, a school ID card cannot be classified as your identity proof or as your address proof. What we need is a copy of your passport or driving licenses. As for your address proof, a copy of your electricity bills would suffice.", answered the man diligently. The woman sitting in front of him was an old lady around the age of 70 who wanted to open a bank account for herself. Alex was having a hard time getting through her and was losing his patience. Despite his dressing set up and the friendly customer smile, his true nature was totally opposite of the way he was acting. He was in a desperate need of money and hence been tolerant enough to maintain his behavior just to keep a hold of this job. After Alex''s diligent reply, the old lady went in utter silence. She thought for some time as she fixed her big soda glasses. "Are you perhaps so blind that you can''t even see the resemblance from my school ID and the real me. Why are you even employed here? Try to manage all the authentication you want with this school ID, I also bought my school graduation results to prove this is my real school identity card. Don''t make an old lady myself to go back home just to get a different ID card for your amusement. Troubling an old lady like myself, how shameful.", scolded back the lady with her scornful eyes. Doing a desk job that needs to interact with your customer of a bank was a very hard job. It was like the test of your life. The most important things need for this job was to possess great communicative skills as well as patience. Somehow, Alex lacked in both departments.Stolen story; please report. ''Don''t lose your cool, Alex! Calm down!'', thought Alex as he narrowed his brows and glared back at the old lady while maintaining his customer friendly smile which seemed to be getting distorted by passing second. ''This old fart been eating my head for the past 2 hrs. I missed my lunch break and if she doesn''t leave anytime soon, I won''t guarantee she will live long. I am not sure if I can keep myself from strangling her, I don''t even care if she''s old or not. There''s a difference between ''annoying customers'' and ''straight out prick in the butt customers'' and she was the latter case. If it weren''t for the money, I would never do this bullcrap called banking job.'', consoled Alex to himself in his mind. Alex paycheck day was nearing soon, hence he doesn''t want to put that in jeopardy by doing anything reckless. He has been tormenting in this hell hole job called the cashier for about 2 months and 26 days. He was desperate need of money and been working his ass off for a change. It''s not like he needed the money for dramatic stuff like some ailing member in the family. Not every protagonist of a novel had such Nobel causes in their mind. Alex fixed his distorted smile, "Madam, can we continue this later, please. I am really hungry and once I have my lunch, I could concentrate here and explain you better. Sorry for the inconvenience.", asked Alex as he joined his hands and pleaded with his puppy dog face. That was one of a surefire way where the customers unsee the errors of the bank employees. The old lady thought for a second, "It''s alright, I am not hungry. So make my bank account already and stop wasting my time. When you''re at it, also brew me some tea. Is this how you treat your customers? Back in my days, the bank employee''s even used to provide tea and massage the customers to make it up for all the waiting. This new generation of children are totally ignorant and don''t care about their customers.", replied the old lady. At his point, Alex already dropped his fake smile as he thought, ''Make a tea while I create a bank account? Seriously? It''s not like I am making a sandwich in a kitchen. This is a fucking bank! You stupid hag! What bank gives a message to its customers? You sure it wasn''t a massage parlor or spa? I wanna choke this hag right here but that would mean losing my job and I can''t lose my salary, just 4 more days to my paycheck.'' Alex let out a huge sigh and let go of his frustration. He placed his forehead on the palm of his hand and supported his head for a second and then he raised his head back with a fake smile, "How about you talk to our manager? His better versed and experienced than me, I am sure he would be able to solve your problem.", suggested Alex. "That would be a more adequate decision. I was getting tired with your incompetence anyway.", replied back old lady. "Why don''t you drop dead?", asked Alex. "Excuse me?", asked the old lady in a surprised expression. "Tea? Would you like green tea or herbal tea?", asked Alex. "Green tea would do. I wanted a milk tea but what do expect from this sorry place called Bank", answered the old lady back. Alex''s eyebrows were throbbing in anger, ''This ain''t a cafe shop! You wretched hag! I guess if I leave it to the manager, he would be able to handle her. She''s been stripping off my dignity with her babbling. I might end up doing something to the old hag. I don''t want to end up in jail and I really need a breather.'' Alex turned to his manager, "Hey, boss man! Can you please talk with this customer? Uh-", Alex dropped his tone after seeing the manager. The manager seemed to busy gossipping with the girl who was also on a desk job similar to Alex. Good for her she didn''t have to handle the customers directly like Alex. The manager and that girl were totally blowing up. The manager seemed to be licking the girl''s ear as he fondled her breast from within the shirt. Even though her desk was in the corner where the customers can''t see but Alex and any other employee could easily see them. "Mr. Manager?", asked Alex back, ''Here I am not able to eat a bite from morning whereas that guy was totally savoring that new chic. What a lump of dipshit, doing it so boldly despite being married!'' The manager didn''t even bother to turn his head around when Alex called, "Handle it yourself Alex, my hands are little occupied at this moment. I''m helping out our new employee the ways of our work, right?", replied the manager. Alex could clearly hear her giggling and moaning from the corner desk. This was the managers everyday routine whenever the other employees left for break. A real-life scum bag. He didn''t even leave the maid out. Even the bathroom broom was more handsome than his face and still, he been doing this with every female employee in the bank thanks to his deep pockets. Alex let out a huge sigh and rested back on the chair. The old hag again started to complain about something but at this point, Alex was just ignoring it as he thought, ''I would need to work 2 more months to able collect the money. At this point, I don''t even care if I could handle this much tension for another 2 months.'' Just when he heard a ring and received a text message on his mobile. Despite the restriction of usage of phone in office hour, he still opened and checked his text messages. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face and all his worry and frustration disappeared in an instant. "You are ignoring your customer and has the audacity of fiddling with your phone in the presence of your customer. I sure need to complain to the manager. Where is your manager? Call me here at once.", scowled the old lady in anger. But this time Alex glared back at the old hag with a menacing and annoyed expression without hiding his displeasure. "Shut your trash, you old hag!" The Last Days- Part II ¡°Pardon?¡±, asked the old lady. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me the first time? Do you have shit stuck in that ears of yours? I said to shut up.¡± Alex scowled back at her, ¡°All you been doing the nag and nag! Don¡¯t you have anything else to do?¡± The old hag was totally baffled and taken back after seeing the sudden change in his attitude. He took out a cigarette from his new packet of the cigar box and placed on his lip. Then he took out his lighter from his jacket pocket and lit his cigarette. After taking a deep puff from his cigarette, he had calmed himself down. ¡°How dare you speak like that? Do you talk to your mother the same way! Did they naught teach you manners?¡±, asked the angry old hag. Her face had been swelled red in anger. It seemed her dentures would have jumped out from her mouth any second. But soon after Alex heard mentioning about his parents, he became a little sad. He took another puff from his cigarette and exhaled at the hags face. ¡°How preposterous! What a reprehensible man!¡±, shrieked out old hag. He laid back on his office chair and glanced at the ceiling with a sorrowful look. ¡°I am an orphan so I never had the opportunity to converse with them, my parents I mean. I was left outside the church gate when I was an infant, like a typical old fashioned orphan baby from movies. Hahaha¡±, he tried to laugh it out but then he let out a sigh. ¡°So you don''t have parents, Now I see why you act so spoilt and arrogant. Who even gave you this position? I need to give them an earful.¡±, replied back the old hag. Alex was totally taken back with her response. Most people would sympathize with him after they hear his story. It¡¯s not like he yearns for peoples sympathy but the old hag was typically, just insulting more without any remorse. ¡°You really are a demon, aren¡¯t you? Do you even have a heart in that soggy breast of yours? Were you perhaps an Ex-Nazi soldier?¡±, asked surprised Alex. ¡°Watch your tongue!¡±, yelled the angry old lady, ¡°Call the Manager! Call him here at once.¡± After they stirred quite a commotion, the manager had to abandon his flirting and came rushing to Alex¡¯s desk. ¡°Good evening, madam. How may I help you?¡±, asked the manager like a typical manager from restaurants. The old lady in a furious tone, ¡°This arrogant man here has -¡± ¡°No! This good for nothing hag been torturing me mentally for a long time!¡±, Alex butted in and started to place his complaints, instead. ¡°Huh? What?¡±, said the perplexed manager. Alex continued, ¡°This hag been pestering to make an account for mere 2 bucks. A new account for just 2 bucks? Are you crazy?! Just put that in some piggy bank, instead. Also to open her new account she bought her school ID card as her identity and address proof! Look at this photo! Even when she was young, she looked totally evil. See those menacing eyes in that photo! It''s like she took this photo right after she murdered someone. Please throw this hag out of this bank, this instant! You should even ban her from every other bank as well. I already missed my lunch break because of her! And you!¡±, he said as he pointed at the manager. ¡°Despite being married to a wealthy girl, you had screwed with every girl in this office! All my age I wasn¡¯t able to land a single girlfriend and you despite being 10 years older, you been flirting and cuddling with all the woman so boldly! Can¡¯t you have a little more sentiments for the adult single men such as myself! I am really, really fed up with this shit.¡± Both the hag and the manager were baffled and even the other customers started to crowd around his desk. Alex took another puff from his cigarette and exhaled it upwards in the air. The old hag was first to burst up in anger, ¡°There is a limit to how rude you can be! I shall bring my son here and close this bank for good. For your information, he is a reputable lawyer. Just you wait!¡±This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it The old hag got up from her seat to make an exit. The manager tried to persuade her but wasn¡¯t able to do a thing. The hag had left the bank, finally. Soon the manager came back to Alex¡¯s desk in a furious manner, ¡°That¡¯s it! You were doing a poor job before but I was kind enough to turn a blind eye and let you keep this job. But now you crossed the line! First, you insult me with all these blatant lies and then you also insult the customers and has the audacity to smoke inside the office. You are fired! Get out of the office this instant!¡±, screamed out the angry manager. Alex looked back at the manager with scornful eyes. He then pulled off his tie and placed it on the table. ¡°Shove your job up in your ass for all I care! I was about to quit, anyway.¡± ¡°What has gotten into you? Why are you acting this way!?¡±, asked the baffled manager. To his question Alex gave him a bright cheerful smile, ¡°This is the real me! Sitting office was never my style. Welp, catch you later, Japan is calling me!¡±, responded Alex. Alex picked his stuff and started to leave the office. The customers and his fellow colleagues started to gossip as they watch this drama unfold in front of them. ¡°Suit yourself! Don¡¯t come running back when you need the job, next time.¡±, said the manager. Just when Alex was about to leave through the office doors, he stopped and turned back towards the Manager. On one hand, he was carrying a box filled his belongings and from the other, he took out his phone from his pockets. He again started to fiddle on his phone''s screen for some seconds before putting it back in his pockets. He turned towards the door with a chuckle, ¡°Yo manager-san! A great calamity will be falling upon you. The road ahead would be a harsh one but I know you can manage it. You are the manager after all. Hahaha!¡± said Alex as he bid farewell and exited the building. ¡°What does that mean? Alex?¡±, shrieked out the manager. Alex left the bank premises and walked down the street heading to his apartment. He had a bright cheerful smile on his face than ever before. Before he stopped in front of a busy road. He wanted to cross the road but the signal to cross was still red. Alex had been collecting photos of the manager''s scandalous act on his phones. He just posted everything on his social site as well as some videos. Even linked the video on the bank''s social network page, etc. While waiting to cross the road, he placed his box down on the ground. And once again opened his phone. The notification of his recently uploaded video was stirring a lot of buzz so he turned off the notification from the app. Then he dialed one of his friends. ¡°Yo, Aaron! How¡¯s it going?... Everything is great! A little too great!... Listen to this good news! I am heading to Japan, after all, baby!... Just won the lottery and I gathered all the money before time! Sounds crazy, right? I guess Japan is calling me. And I would finally be able to go to this comic-con to meet my favorite mangaka! Hahaha!... Also, remember to grab a ticket for your¡¯s truly in the theatres for the new movie!...¡± He wholeheartedly gossiped with his fellow otaku friend, Aaron. Who also was a hardcore otaku like Alex and currently he was living in Japan. He smuggled his way inside Japan and settled there through some shady means. Now he works in some restaurant for a living. Some weebs don¡¯t even know there''s a line that you shouldn¡¯t cross. But that was to expect as they both would never leave the life of manga and anime for anything. They both were close friends and also made collab comics. Alex was the illustrator and Aaron was the writer. They even participated in the comic con festivals that took in the cities of Huskor. They were really inspired by the culture of mangas through Japan. Alex especially loved the anime of his favorite manga which was about to get another movie adaptation. The first screening of the movie would be in Japan cinemas. Hence he has been collecting money to watch this movie in Japan as well as meet the mangaka of his favorite manga. He had been drawing a lot of fan arts related to characters of his favorite shows that he wanted to show to the mangaka first hand. Now that he won a lottery he had collected a lump sum of money take a tour in Japan. The signal to the crosswalk turned green and Alex picked up his box. He was still busy discussing with Aaron on the phone as he crossed the road. It had been a long time since Alex had talked with Aaron, so they had many things to catch up to. There were loud honking sounds and people screaming down the roads. Alex didn''t hear the commotion and continued to cross the lane. There was truck filled carrying fishes had run out of control. The truck had smashed around the cars and people that it came in front of it. It was straight headed towards Alex. The truck driver honked continuously so the people would be alerted beforehand. Just when Alex noticed the honking had gotten louder but it was already too late. At that moment if Alex if could have tried to jump aside by his reflexes he still could have dodged the truck. But he wasn''t able to do that because his hands were full. On one hand, he had a box filled with his belongings and on the other hand, he was holding his phone. The speeding truck sped towards Alex while pushing aside other vehicles halted in the signal on its path. It marched towards Alex like a fierce metal beast pouncing on its prey. Alex froze to his ground in shock after he saw the marching truck which was just 3 meters away from him. Froze in fear he let out few words, ¡°Eh? Truck-sama?¡± he said. Which was also his last words. At least his last words in the earth realm. The Dark Space Soon Alex found himself floating in the midst in a dark dimension. He was alone in this dark and gloomy space. ¡®Where am I? What is this place¡¯, Alex asked himself, ¡®Am I asleep? Is this some kind of dream?¡¯ Many such questions arose in his mind. For some reasons, he didn¡¯t panic when he found himself in this space. He wasn¡¯t happy or scared but in an emotionless state. You could say he had lost his emotions when he died back on earth. It felt as if eternity has passed while being drifted in this empty dark void. ¡®If this is a dream, this must be one long boring one or perhaps the worst nightmare.¡¯, Alex said to himself in his mind. Just when a sudden sting of pain went through his head. ¡®What was that!¡¯, Alex tried to say it loud but the space canceled out the sound. Just when some afterimages popped in his mind as soon as he got the pain. It was a very foggy and abstract image that soon he even forgot to care. He then continued to mindlessly float in the dark dimension. But after a minute or two more pain instigated in his head. This time a number of different abstract images popped him in his head and brought along severe pain with every image he saw. Alex tried to scream but in this dimension, sound cannot reverberate. Hence his screams in agony remained stuck in his throat. The afterimages were distorted and abstracted at first, but soon such more images came in his head, the more clear the image got. The afterimages started to form a pattern and soon he saw a vision. ¡®It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!...¡¯, he mumbled to himself as the pain increased. As he saw the vision he also started to hear some noises. The noises of people screaming. Soon he saw a vision which was rather a peculiar one.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. There was a group of huge army armed with armors with medieval weapons who ran helter-skelter in a frenzy. Despite they had a huge sheer of the number to their side, they still seem to be running away from someone or something. In the midst of the fleeing army, there was a dark pitch black sphere which kept expanding and devouring every soldier in its path. That black mysterious sphere even ate the surrounding buildings and trees. It didn¡¯t even spare the very ground which started to crumble and sucked inside the sphere. It looked like a black hole that was created on the land itself. The black hole expansion also gained speed and it caught every soldier that tried to outrun it. Soon Alex also was devoured by the black sphere and soon he returned back to dark space where he was floating before. As soon as the vision ended, the pain in Alex¡¯s head also subsided. ¡®What was that all about? And back again here? What kind of dream is this? I need to wake up already!¡¯, said Alex to himself. Just when a small speck of light appeared in the dark dimension in front of Alex. It was just like a single twinkling star in a pitch dark sky. Soon Alex body started to be pulled towards this light and before he knew he started to fall towards the light. With this sudden change of events, Alex should be a little perplexed but he still had that deadpan face. The small speck of light started to glow and it became bigger and bigger every second. Alex body was falling toward the source of the light and fall down with greater force. The dark space now turned into bright white space. Despite that, Alex maintained his expressionless face as he thought, ¡®I don¡¯t know what is going on and I don¡¯t even care!¡¯ But soon the long nightmare ended. Soon the bright light started to dissipate. Alex slowly opened his eyes. He saw the sun above in the sky shining brightly and he was sleeping on the rocky floor. For some reason, Alex wasn¡¯t able to move his body but he was able to move his head a little. He moved his head to check around his surroundings. ¡®Did I drank all night again?¡¯, thought Alex as he tried to confirm where he was. When he checked around the surround by lifting his head, he was in shock. ¡°Where the fuck am I?¡± Alex shrieked as he lay motionless on the ground. For some reason, he ended up in a rocky desert. ¡°Glad you are awake. I guess you have regained your senses, finally. Better late than never.¡±, greeted a stranger. Alex diverted his head towards this strange voice. Just to be more surprised the one who was speaking was sitting on his stomach, making himself at home. "Upsy-Daisy, rise, and shine! You should get moving before the vultures'' starts to feast on you." ¡°A talking crow?¡±, spoke out Alex in surprise. The Urgent Summons at Hespetia The great sun temple, Hespetia. The city of Hespetia was one of the holiest cities. It was a pilgrimage site for many worshipers of the sun god, Exnor. According to people¡¯s belief, he was the King of all gods. Hence, there was a huge temple established in this city in his honor. Thousands of devotees flood in and out on a daily basis. During the festivities, it''s even more packed than ever. But today something seemed to be happening and the whole city was in a state of hysteria. The temple gongs echoed throughout the city. This gongs were especially used to summon all the high priest under the direct orders from the archpriest to the great hall. This was an urgent summons and the high priests were a bit anxious about it. Usually, the gongs were used when the city was under attack or when the archpriest foresees a calamity approaching. After they rung the gongs, the city went under lockdown. Many of devotees were forced to leave the great temple and thousands of devotees waiting in the line were told to turn back. Although, this didn¡¯t sit well with the waiting devotees as they started rebelling. In the hallway, one man seemed to be rushing his way to the great hall. He was bald and in his late fifties along with oval rimmed spectacles. The man wore a traditional priest robe and wore a necklace and bracelet made of beads. He was Solomon Giuda, one of the thirteen high priests. He was on his way to answer the archpriest¡¯s urgent summons. He was worried and sweating bullets as he meekly hurried to the great hall. ¡®I wonder what does the Archpriest want to tell us this time. I don¡¯t think the city¡¯s under attack, so it has to be his foresight,¡¯ wondered Solomon. He reached the temple gate where two holy guards guarded the entrance gate. The holy guards wore a full body shining armor with long spears. They were the ones in charge of protecting the city as well as the one who forced out the devotees out from the temple. Now, most of the soldiers were controlling the angry mob. After they saw Solomon, they immediately opened the temple gates and let him through. The great hall was located under the basement of the temple. This was where the high priest and the archpriest hold their meetings. Solomon passed through the shrine altar into the hallway. He then rushed down the spiral stairs which and leads to the great hall. After walking down the stairs for some minutes he reached the basement floor. There were another pair of guards posted outside the great hall entrance who opened the door for Solomon to enter. The guards closed the doors soon after he entered. Solomon was out of his breath as he stopped right on the entrance to catch his breath. The great hall was the same as the name implies. It was a huge hall with white marble floor tiles along with intricate designs on it. There were candle lamps hanged on the walls that lit the hall. But the most eye-catching thing was the big chandelier hanging in the center by the ceiling. ¡°How long do you want to keep master waiting? Hurry and take your seat!¡±, one of the high priests exclaimed, ¡°Everyone¡¯s here except for you, Solomon.¡± All the other high priest had already reached the hall and taken their respective seats except for Solomon who was late. The high priests were seated on the floor on square pillows.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Solomon rushed to his seat and bowed his head to the archpriest who was seated on his high seat, ¡°I apologize for my tardiness, master.¡± The archpriest was a very old and feeble looking man. He had a very long beard that reached down to the floor. He wore a simple white silk long robes. His eye pupils were greyed. He had lost his vision when he was young in exchange for the power of clairvoyance. His seat was on a high platform where he could see a good view of the hall. The archpriest raised his hand, ¡°No worries my child. We still have to wait for a few more guests to arrive before we begin the meeting.¡± said the Archpriest. He had a very weak and feeble voice but it reverberated throughout the hall. There was a certain magical object which amplified the old man¡¯s voice. It looked like a green orb thing that floated around the archpriest''s mouth. It was a magical device. But one of the 13 high priests asked, ¡°What? More guests-¡± Just when the hall door flung opened. Three armed soldiers entered the great hall. These three soldiers were equipped with some flashy looking armors, ¡°Pardon our tardiness but here we are.¡±, said the female soldier. She was Arnia Gospel, one of the captains of the holy knight squad. She was wearing her battle armor with her infamous sword called ¡®The Peacekeeper¡¯ which she carried on her back. It was a powerful broad butcher sword which had some devastating magical attributes. Despite her terrifying prowess on the battlefield, Arnia was a very gorgeous woman. She had sapphire gems like beautiful eyes and blonde silky hair which she kept uptied all the time. ¡°Why are the three captains here? Don¡¯t you know, this is the great hall where only a priest of high stature is allowed? This is no place for barbarous brutes such as yourself.¡±, said one of the high priest angrily. Hearing that the guy standing next to Arnia stepped forward, ¡°Oh, how about this barbarous brute tear down this place to the ground if you don''t stop whining in the next few seconds,¡± he said as he stared back at that high priest with menacing aura. The high priest was terrified and quickly pursed his mouth. This arrogant soldier was also a squad captain of the holy knights, Segan the menace. He had long a long messy hair and a short beard. His eyes looked dead as if he has not been sleeping for quite a while. He was wearing a dark purple armor with gold carvings. It also had magical rubies that boosted the armor¡¯s enhancement. Arnia unsheathed her huge sword and blocked Segan¡¯s path, ¡°That¡¯s enough, Segan. Apologize at once.¡±, said Arnia as she glared at Segan. ¡°Come on, Arnia! Are you going to take that insult on the face? This is how they treat us, after all, we do for them.¡± complained back Segan. ¡°With your current action, you are proving them right. So back down, at once.¡±, she replied back while glaring at him. Segan than turned towards the third soldier, ¡°Come on, Freed! Don¡¯t you agree with me?¡± asked Segan. The third person along with them was Freed Glint who also was a squad captain like Arnia and Segan. Unlike the other two captains, he wore light black armor made of leather along with a black mask that covered his mouth. To Segan¡¯s question, Freed looked the other way and ignored him. ¡°Come on, don''t ignore me like that! You are hurting my feelings man.¡±, said Segan as he let a sigh, ¡°Fine. I¡¯m sorry. There you happy now, Arnia.¡± Arnia placed back her sword in her sheath, ¡°Good.¡±, she then faced the council of the high priest, ¡°I apologize for the rude behavior of my colleague. We were summoned here by the request of the Lord archpriest himself. We didn¡¯t mean to offend the council of the high priest in any manner.¡± The high priests started to mumble among themselves about the actions of the archpriest. No one other than the priest had entered the great hall. It was supposed to be the hall where the divine preachings of gods discussed. Hence, it was much preposterous of an idea to let a soldier enter such divine hall who was burdened with the sin of killing enemies on the battlefield. The archpriest tapped his staff on the floor and all the priests fell quiet. He regained everyone''s attention, ¡°A great calamity has approached our world as we speak. If nothing¡¯s done then our world will fall to ruins on the hands of the angry gods. We must work out together to prevent this disaster from happening at all cost. I would require the faith of all the kingdoms and if that means to bend the rules, so be it.¡± There are Vag*nas on the palm of my hands ¡°Hello there¡±, greeted Alex. ¡°Greetings.¡±, replied back the mysterious entity sitting on Alex''s belly. ¡°You really are a talking crow!¡±, exclaimed Alex. ¡°Let me correct you, I am a raven. There¡¯s a lot of difference between a crow and a raven.¡±, replied back the bird. ¡°Wow, wow! An intellectual spouting crow.¡±, exclaimed surprised Alex. ¡°As I said before, I am a raven, not crow! Crows are foolish and stupid creatures. They tend to travel in a group whereas we Ravens travel in pairs.¡±, said the agitated raven. ¡°I have seen lots of birds talking but they all were parrots. Never seen a talking crow so fluently. You can even hold a conversation of your own.¡±, replied surprised Alex. ¡°The creatures you talking about belong to your former world. In this realm, there are more mighty creatures that you couldn¡¯t even fathom in your worst nightmare. But you should be glad now that I am here to aid you.¡±, said the bird pridefully, ¡°Also please rephrase from calling me a crow.¡± ¡°You really talk a lot than any other bird I seen on the TV. Anyway, could you get me some help? I don¡¯t seem to able to move my body. Everything seemed to be paralyzed down from my neck below.¡±, said Alex. ¡°Well now that you have regained your senses, I should undo the spell.¡± ¡°Spell?¡±, asked puzzled Alex. The bird flew from Alex¡¯s belly near his arm. Then with all its force, the bird pecked on Alex''s arm with its beak. ¡°Ow!¡±, screamed Alex, "That hurt''s!¡± ¡°You can move now, right?¡±, asked the bird. ¡°What?!¡±, exclaimed Alex. Alex was able to move his hand right away when the bird pecked on it. ¡°Huh? I can move now.¡± Alex was now able to move his body somehow. So he sat upright on the ground and started to dust the soil from his clothes. ¡°Shit! I really need a hair wash. The soil is stuck on my hair, thanks to my oily hair. Why the heck does office-men wear such crap over their head?¡±Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Alex doesn¡¯t like grooming but he had to oil his hair to maintain his image in his office, former office to be precise. ¡°I had cast a paralyze spell but now that I undid it, you can move freely.¡±, said the raven. ¡°Wow! You are one heck of a chuunibyou crow, aren¡¯t you?¡±, asked Alex as he started to brush off the dust on his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you mean but please refrain from using your hands like that or else-.¡±, said the bird. ¡°What do you mean- ow ow ow!¡±, Shrieked out, Alex. It seemed that Alex''s hair got stuck on his hands for some reason. ¡°The heck my hair got stuck on my hand! Ow-ow!¡±, scowled Alex in pain as he tried to free his hand. The bird let out a sigh, ¡°Why couldn¡¯t you just listen carefully for a change? Anyway, just slowly remove your hand otherwise you might lose your hair.¡± Alex followed the bird¡¯s instruction and freed his hand, ¡°That really hurt!¡±, exclaimed Alex but soon he saw his palm of his hand, ¡°What in the fucking world is this!¡± There seemed to be a human-like a mouth on his palm. That mouth seemed to be munching on Alex¡¯s hair strands. ¡°IS THAT A VAGINA ON MY HAND?!¡±, exclaimed shocked Alex. The crow let out another sigh, ¡°It¡¯s not the female genital as you think, it¡¯s the all eating mouths of the Abyss eater.¡±, answered the bird. Alex was totally shocked to see a mysterious mouth that grew on his palm. ¡°What the fuck is this!¡±, screamed Alex as he waved his hand aggressively, ¡°This is not coming off.¡± ¡°Of course, it won¡¯t come off like that, its a part of you. You also have that on your other hand.¡±, added the bird. Alex cross-checked his other hand, ¡°What the fuck! Here¡¯s another vagina!¡±, exclaimed Alex. The other mouth seemed to be eating the ground¡¯s soil when he placed his hand on the ground. ¡°As I said it¡¯s not a vagina but the two mystical mouths of the Abyss Eater.¡±, answered Alex. Alex panicked as he swung around his arms to get rid of the mouth stuck on his palms. He moved around the ground in his attempt to get rid of them. Soon he gave up and settled down under a shade of a dead tree. It hardly gave much of shade. The rocky desert temperature was skyrocketing. There were only big rocky hills and dry rocky soil everywhere. There was no soul in sight. The bird flew towards Alex and took a seat on his shoulder, ¡°Are you done with your antics?¡± ¡°Talking crow *gasp* What is going on? What¡¯s with the mouth and this strange tattoo¡¯s on my hand.¡± There were also strange marking on Alex''s hand with black criss-cross patterns. It was painted over both of Alex hands and fingers until the wrist. ¡°Those are the inscriptions by Lord Luminescence to control and suppress the powers of the Abyss Eater. I was the one who placed those inscriptions in my lord¡¯s behalf.¡±, replied the bird. ¡°I see.¡±, answered Alex who seemed to have calmed down, ¡°and this must be another of those stupid dreams.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t a dream, this is the reality. You were summoned as a demi-god with the power to devour the Abyss itself. You need to pull yourself together.¡±, said the bird sternly. ¡°Summoned?!¡±, asked Alex in shocking demeanor, ¡°Wait I was summoned here?¡± "Particularly, we weren''t the one to summon you. But yes, you were summoned to our world.", answered the bird. "You mean like the popular trending Isekai light novels?", asked Alex to reconfirm. "I don''t know what you are talking about.", answered the bird. The Kiss gone Wrong Alex was still in the process of accepting his new reality. He was still figuring out the Abyss eater that looked like two human mouths merged with his palms. ¡®What the heck is that bird saying? Summoned to another world?¡¯, Alex wondered as he glanced at his hands. There were two human-like mouths emerged upon his palms. It was very much alive when he tried to touch it. Apparently, these mouths are called as Abyss Eater as per the information by the talking raven. There were inscriptions of black marking on Alex hand which is said to keep those mouths under control. ¡®I don¡¯t know why is there a mouth¡¯s stuck on my hand or how I end up in the nowhere of a desert with a talking chuunibyou crow. I even pinched myself to check if its a dream but the pain felt very much real. So this couldn¡¯t be a dream.¡¯ Than Alex looked around his surroundings than his eyes again fell on the talking raven sitting on a rock, nearby. It was nonchalantly sitting there as it kept a constant gaze on Alex from a distance. Their eyes meet and they stared a stare off. Alex glared at the bird intensely while the bird looked back at him with a cold stare. After a few minutes of staring race, the bird asked, ¡°What¡¯s with all the glaring? If you have something to say, out with it already.¡± Alex continued to stare at the bird without saying a word as he thought, ¡®The last time I remember that I resigned from the bank and headed to my apartment. Then back when I was heading the road, I was crossing the road. Just when I heard loud honking and a big speeding truck headed my direction, after that everything was blank and hazy. So am I dead? Have I really been transmigrated to another world?'' ¡°Alright so tell me why did you summon me here?¡±, asked Alex. ¡°Oh, I wasn¡¯t the one to summon you. You were actually summoned here by the orders of Nudar, the god of the underworld.", it then let out a sigh, "It''s a long story but lemme tell you the shorter version. You were supposed to be joining the mighty Nudar''s army in his big rebellion against the gods. That was until you lost your control and devoured him and his entire army with your Abyss Eater. And with that little stunt has led chaos on all three realms.¡±, answered the birdie as it took a sigh. ¡°I have no clue what you¡¯re talking about.¡±, replied Alex as he looked puzzled. ¡°Lord Luminescence shall explain you in greater detail, the first thing we need to do is head to our base.¡±, said the birdie. ¡°Hey doesn¡¯t this hand look similar to Deidara from Naruto?¡±, asked Alex excitedly.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. ¡°Deidara? What¡¯s that?¡±, asked the confused raven. ¡°You kidding me? Deidara was one of the Akatsuki badasses from the manga Naruto, the world best mainstream manga of all time! You don¡¯t even know that? You are a chuunibyou crow, you should know that at least.¡±, said Alex with a disappointed tone. Deidara was a fictional character based on a popular manga called Naruto. He also had two mouths on the palm of his hands where he could infuse chakra to create explosive clay. It¡¯s not like everyone knows this, only a people who watch/reads anime/manga would have known. So, of course, a talking bird in another world would definitely won¡¯t be informed about this. ¡°Stop wasting time! We need to get moving from this place. We have to head south where our ride is waiting. It shall take straight to our base to meet you with Lord Luminescence. You¡¯re last week antic¡¯s have caused quite a turmoil in the three realms. Your life is in danger! So be thankful for the kindness Lord Luminescence.¡± scowled the bird, but it seemed Alex wasn''t paying any heed, ¡°Hey! This is some crucial information, what are you doing!?¡± Alex was busy doing something with a wide grin on his face, ¡°Check this out!¡±, cried out Alex, ¡°They¡¯re smooching. Hahaha!¡± He joined both of his palms and the two mouths on his palm touched each other which looked like as if it were doing a liplock. It was a very strange sight and somehow Alex found it funny. But the bird was terrified and suddenly flew upwards away from Alex, ¡°WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU¡¯RE DOING?!¡± ¡°A french kiss? I don¡¯t know but it''s hilarious, right?¡± asked Alex as he laughed it off. Suddenly a strange reaction started to happen. The two mouths opened their jaws wide opened and strange gust of wind started to exit from their mouth. Alex was puzzled with these strange events, "What''s going on? I can''t pull my hands apart, it''s as if they are stuck!" Then soon a black like a particle emerged out of the two mouths and started to gather in between the space of Alex''s two hands. The dark energy looked like smoke but pitch black in color. Once it gathered around between his two hands, it started to create a shape like a ball. As soon as it took a shape of the ball the gust of wind changed direction. Instead of the wind which was blowing away was now getting sucked within the sphere itself. "Pull your hands apart! Come on, boy! You can do it." cried out the raven flying above Alex in a distant. Alex tried to move his hands but it seemed his both hands were stuck to the black ball, "What is going on! What''s happening?! This..." The black ball of energy started to grow and even Alex hands started to engulf in the dark energy. Soon the dark energy grew bigger and bigger as it swallowed Alex and the entire surroundings. It looked like a massive ball of dark energy swirling within sucking all the air, rocks and everything it could take in. The ball of dark energy grew almost three storey building tall. But soon it stopped and it started to shrink. The bird flew high in the sky as it watched in a distance. But soon, the black sphere disappeared. In its place was Alex who was sitting in a big crater in the center. "What just happened?" asked puzzled Alex as he sat in the center of the crater. The dead tree, as well as the ground itself, had been sucked in by the black ball of energy. Everything that black energy touched was sucked within and vanished except for Alex. Alex grabbed his head in shock, "My head feels wobbly. I felt like I had a ride on a rollercoaster or something.", but as soon he touched his head the mouth on his hand started to munch on his hair, "Ow-ow! You little shits! Stop eating my hair!"
