The Awakening Unknown

Chapter 25 - 25: Build Up {4}

Athens, Royal Capital Zone B

Friday March 17

8:46 p.m

-Present Day-

I wander the streets of Athens, most of the stores and concession stands are closed. The sky grew dark and the temperature dropped, the street became vacant and the wind was blowing at 3mph. I pass a very dark alley, and hear groaning coming from within. [Detection activated] I see a light blue flame of an elderly woman; I walk into the alley and step into a puddle of blood. I begin to jog toward the woman and I see her lying in a pile of trash, I rush to help her; I lift her head and grab her hand. Blood spewing from her lower abdomen, I apply pressure to it, "open Inventory," I grab a healing potion and make her drink it. [C rank potion cancelled] 

I stepped a few steps, and inhaled. [Shadow Healing activated] I place both my hands on the wound, applying pressure she groan louder. I set the wound ablaze, she lowered her guard as if she knew I was saving her. She grabbed my wrist, and stared me deep into my eyes; she said "please save me I don't wanna die," I give her a false reassurance because I'm not sure if she can survive at this point, blood is endlessly spewing from her body and the flame representing her lifeforce is going out.

"If you can save me, please I got my grandson a present I can't go now… he was just born." 

I stare at her with a deep sorrowful gaze, I hold her arm up. Her grip loosen and body grows cold, her mouth opens and eyes closed. One last exhale escapes her body and her arm dropped to the ground. 

I pick her cold dead body from the ground, and hop building to building finding a proper hospital, I find Zone A medical hospital. I dropped to the ground and entered the building. 

"How can I help you today..-," she stopped speaking and rushing on the phone calling the medical team.

I stood waiting in a shirt covered in blood, my arms quickly grew tired. I turn to see the medical team rushing to the old woman's dead body. They put her in the stretcher and rush her into a room, they sit me down and tell me to wait here. 

-45 minutes-

I sit twiddling my thumbs, I'm growing terribly fl.u.s.tered. They walk into the room I wait in, "Sorry sir, she didn't make it." I already knew I thought to myself, "did you know her?" He bowed to me but stared in confusion. I nonchalantly tell him I found her in an alley, rolling in pain. They all understood and told me that they're going to contact the family and asked me for my contact info. 

I walk out of the building, I'm currently 1 hour away from home. I run hopping from building to building until I can finally arrive home. When running atop buildings I find myself starving; I see a family owned restaurant still open. When I jump from the building I look at the opening time outside the door, 10:00 a.m to 10:30 p.m the lights are still on because of security reasons. 

I leave the area, and quickly try to make my way back home.

I lay on the muddy ground, and the goblins back off from me. The woman who ordered the goblins to slaughter me looked afraid and backed away. My body stood even though my tendons were cut, and a light glew from my left hand. A knife had appeared in my hands, and I somehow firmly gripped it. My body had begun to move and it had swung the knife at one of the goblins. 

*sling ching*

Three goblins fell dead on the ground, and I kicked one to the burned house. The goblins all try to run away, running to the house they forget the woman giving orders. I started her torture by stabbing her in the left cheek, she scrums and my body had grew impatient so I sliced her arm off. With realizing my leg grew back I limped my way to the goblins and threw her arm at them.

*thumb thumb*

I heard my heart beating, the feeling of strength electrified me; and my breath was heavy. 

I felt my conscious slipping once more, but this time differently. 

-Present Day- 

"Sir… sir..sir wake up."

I wake the next morning in bed, to find a group of soldiers crowding around my room. 

My sister stood in the crowd with her palm to her forehead. "What's going on I asked," they said that the mission will commence in several minutes and for me to get dressed. 

I put my clothes on and stepped outside, what I see isn't the usual chariot but a black limousine. A man opens the door and takes his hat off pointing towards the limousine, "Get in my dear Sir," I get in the limousine and sit on the leather and see the red padding inside the limousine. The other soldiers sit with me.

A group of a bunch D and C ranks, a total of 18 people including myself, 7 D ranks mostly consisting of Mage types, 6 C ranks having 2 tanks, 1 healer, and four assassin types, one B rank being a Tank, and a A rank being a swordsman, and 1 E ranks, being a natural shield. The difference in ranks is weird for a high class dungeon, I ask what dungeon rank are entering.

"Oh, a C rank," the A rank said. "Oh, Duster by the way and this is Ash my brother." 

He pointed at a tall and big man, he resembles duster with the same short shaggy dirty blond hair, but instead of green eyes he has blues one. Ash is a Tank type B rank soldier, and Duster being an A rank, is a dual-type Shield and Spear warrior. 

A girl in the back pop her head up, her long maroon colored braids swinging back and forth. "I'm Abbot, C rank healer." She then fell back to the ground suffering from motion sickness.

The car stops, "we're here sir," the chauffeur yelled.

We stepped out of the car, and found a giant metal gate.
