Chap 04: The wave

* The war starts *

*At the enemies' side, there are 5 races: Dark golems (2), Goblins, Ogres,

Orcs, and the general who is from a higher species of orcs called High orcs.

*

James: Kay and Alice, you two take care of the general. Mike, you take care

of goblins and dark golems. X and I will cast magic to kill orcs and ogres. Jasmine,

you should continue healing the front row. Thomas, you hide somewhere and stay

out of war.

* Everyone yells "yes", and the fight starts *

* Due to high stats of X, her job was rather easy. She kills all orcs in just

10 minutes. *

X: James, I‟m done here, I‟ll come to you.

James: Ok

* At this time, the High orc kills some of the ogres and turns to berserk

mode*

Kay: Guys, things don‟t look too good here...

* The general sends Kay flying with a strike of his heavy sword. Kay

stays alive just because of his regeneration. *

Kay: Uhhh ...

James: Jasmine, heal him quickly.

Jasmine: I can‟t, I‟m out of energy...

James: Damn it! Mike, use your stealth and take him to the back row.

* But the general is faster and finishes Kay in another strike. *

* Everyone is filled with fear and sorrow *

Alice: No, Kay...

James: What happened?

Alice (while crying): We lost Kay...

James: God damn it! Everyone, we don‟t have time to cry now, continue, if

you don‟ want to die.

Mike: This isn‟t good! I lost one of the golems, when I went to rescue Kay.

James: What?!! Everyone pay attention to your surroundings. Report when

you find it.

* At this time, the other golem attacks Alice and tosses her to a rock *

Alice: cough ... cough ... Guys, help me...

Mike: I‟m coming, Alice. Wait for a bit...

* As soon as Mike is distracted, a goblin stabs him in the heart from

behind *

Alice: Noooo...

* Alice stands up difficultly and attacks the general using both of her

blessings. As a matter of fact, she kills it in one strike, but the berserk mode

made her lose attention to the battlefield which leads her to be surrounded

by ogres and a dark golem. At this time, an orb of fire appears in the sky and

kills ogres, which was created by James and X. After that, Alice attacks the

golem. She hits its vital, which is its core. The explosion caused by

destroying the core sends Alice flying. This time, she falls on a sharp rock

and dies on the spot. *

* Pawns know that they don't have any time for funeral, so they just

continued the war. After Alice's sacrifice, the war was rather smooth. It was

coming to an end, but suddenly ... *

-: The golem, the golem, it‟s here. Somebody help me.

* Everyone is busy with their fight. Actually no one wants to risk his/her

life for a useless person like Thomas, so they all ignore him *

* The golem keeps coming nearer and nearer. Thomas knows there is no

hope left for him. *

-: God, help me, please. I promise I‟ll be a good person in the future...

* Suddenly the orb of light from before appears and says: *

"Don‟t worry, Thomas. I can grant you my power, if you give me your heart *

-: Is it some kind of confession?

The orb of light: No, I mean the organ in your body.

- (asks with scared voice): Do you promise to save me?

The orb of light: Yes, I promise.

* The golem raises his hands to kill him *

-: Ok, ok...

* After saying that, he feels a great deal of pain in his chest. He feels like

somebody was piercing his heart. After the pain ends, he feels a good

feeling of comfort coming from his chest *

The orb of light: We are one, now. You can call me Ra. You can use my

powers by offering me something in return every time you call me. Now, let me

take over your body and kill this demon.

* Thomas' mind goes blank, as he loses control over his body, and after

he regains his consciousness ... *

Faint voice of Ra: Call me again ... Ha-ha...

James: Thomas, are you ok? Did you take out that thing by yourself? Wow!

You are amazing, buddy...

-: Is it dead? And is the wave over?

James: Both of your answers are yes. Unfortunately, we lost 3 of our

comrades in this fight. We should remember this and work hard to get stronger for

the next wave. Let‟s offer our dead comrades ten seconds of silence. May God

bless them. *after ten seconds* Amen

* Pawns nod, while they are filled with sorrow. *

Sys. : The wave has ended ... The remaining pawns will receive rewards

based on their performance in the wave ... Starting preparing teleportation to Earth

... Preparation ended ... starting teleportation ...

* And everyone gets teleported to their location before coming to

underworld. They know that their normal lives are over, and they have the

responsibility to save the world. *

* Thomas returns to his house *

-: Oh, man! What a day! ... Something feels strange, after watching people

dying, why am I so calm? Is it some kind of blessing? ... Let‟s ask system ...

System, why am I so calm, even though I was at a war just now?

Sys. : You have blessings granted by God. Your mind and body are protected

by God, so you won‟t feel any mental or physical abnormality under normal

circumstances.

-: So that‟s it ... System, how much time do I have until the next wave?

Sys. : Starting calculation ... Calculation ended ... Reporting ... 10 days...

-: Only ten days ... How many enemies we will fight this time?

Sys. : Starting estimation ... Estimation ended ... Reporting ... Estimation

failed due to Hades‟ darkness barrier...

-: Even system can‟t estimate the army‟s size ... But one thing is for sure, and

it‟s that I only have ten days to get ready for the next wave ... "status" ...
