Chapter 5 : Crawler's Nest 2

Mada was sitting on cartons, While old man Wirya and Rani sat on the old man's bed, this hut, was a typical residence an inhabitant of Se-Panjang district lived in, the Ancient Humans would automatically recognize this place as a studio room, a very small quarter that could only fit one resident, albeit it has no ventilation, let alone a small window.

the nearest functional toilet, where people did their private business and wash themselves clean was a three minutes walk from here, and don't forget to mention it had to be shared between five hundreds people, how did They managed not to start a fourth World War with only one usable "toilet" ?

for Rani, who lived her entire life in a completely different realm compared to these Outcast, the idea of sharing a toilet felt very peculiar to Her, let alone sharing it with five hundreds people, that was why the first time Mada told her about this fact, her genius brain was stuck in the air.

the sanitary Center for Se-Panjang, a.k.a the toilet, was just a huge sinkhole that appeared around eight years ago, the people at the time scared shit themselves out when They thought about ten families that were living on top of that sinkhole just minutes before that black, huge hole dragged the previous inhabitants down, without much else could be done to help them.

some tried to check the actual depth, perhaps if They were lucky They could stumble upon the victim remains, but even the longest ropes available that streched up to six hundreds meters deep, couldn't let them peek at the hole's bottom.

It felt sutpid but after some times passed, people just happened to use that giant hole to relieve their needs and in later date, They built a round big chamber to accommodate everyone who wanted to stick out their a*s inside and threw out their digestion waste. the moment Mada relieving this memory when He excitedly explained the history of the legendary toilet, Old man Wirya coughed up to get their attention.

"ehem! so..... What brought You here My Lady ? , I believe Your father had told You not to go outside of the city, here is still a Human area, if You walk outside the perimeter a little bit more... I do not want to even think about it. right now I'm speaking as Your uncle, please rush Yourself back to the Palace after You had done Whatever You got to do here."

"won't You listen to me first, uncle ? You don't even ask how Mada was doing that He panted heavily when You greeted the two of us." Rani scowled in front of Her uncle.

this is the first time They meet each other, for Rani, this is a very impolite way of talking to her Elder, she wouldn't do such a thing normally, but in the current circumstances She was in, anxiety got the better of her

"Then Mada, tell me how could You two meet with each other, I might be old but my memory works just fine, I told You not to try to get in the Terraria City state right ?, What the hell happened."

Mada was fidgeting on the ground, layers of cartons didn't seem to block the Icy temperature radiating from his butt, or was that the case ?

He felt uncomfortable that He may have to tell this old man, Whom He secretly regarded as his father, that He had just recently killed a casual six people. and injuring the six others just 30 minutes ago, He was afraid that What He had done would grant him another long course from the old man.

He would try his best to avoid telling him the most recent event

"ummmmm...So..... I was..."

----------------

Mada recounted what was happening before He met Rani, It was another playing time for him, at least for him, although other children would surely disagree.

He just recently Mutated at the time, He was exposed to Nuclear Radiation from a piece of a Warhead core that was brought by Wirya when the old man was evicted from the City state, it was given to Wirya from the City State government in hope He can at least defended Himself after He was chased outside as a form of his punishment.

Mada had just done his daily exercises and was in the middle of reading the mysterious leaf parchment, for him, who didn't have anyone left except Himself in this World, He felt a strong connection to this parchment and the dagger, it could not be helped, these two things were the only legacy left behind by his late mother.

When He read it, He unconsciously moved his body in a motion that resembled a dance.

He did not know why, his head and back felt so much lighter than usual, He heard that someone who had [Mutation type : psychokinesis] would feel as though their body was so light They looked like drunk in the sensation of their own power, as if one was flying, it was the most proper word to describe their experience.

and now Mada, without realizing this, had caused Himself to fly just from reciting some weird poem, that's when a shout with a soothing voice brought him back to the Mortal World.

"Hei !!! watch outtt !!!!!", by then, awareness had came back to Him.

upon collecting the information provided by his five senses, He realized What had He done. a house that He just passed through while reciting the poem and dancing, had been completely leveled down to the ground.

the people that He thought He just passed without putting much attention, in fact had flown by the shockwave He had unconsciously created, and when his sense was sharp enough to identify where was that shout earlier coming from, He found Himself staring at a beautiful girl who was trying to stop his mindless march towards a densely populated residences using the scabbard of her katana.

At that exact moment, He felt something strange wriggling inside his chest, a sensation that felt so alien to him, it was not the same like when He lost his mother, He felt sad but....strangely also glad at the same time, He couldn't understand at all,

'just who ?! who was this girl that are capable of stopping me ? I was known as a Mutant child since I combined both my Mutation and the poem's reflexives movement, with the poem , although I can not control objects afar from my body like the [Mutation type : psychokinesis]

users did, I can still create strong shockwaves through the sophisticated movement from the poem's contents, adding a ranged attack to my arsenal. but how ????.....'

what's more amazing was, the shockwave power was correlated with the physical power of his

[Mutation Type : Body Transformation]

Mada train of thought continued

'and yet this girl..... is she also an Evolver like me? but how could She contend with combined, double fire power of Mutation and the Poem's movements ? '

He didn't know that at that time, if not for her katana, which was an Ancient Humans artifact , Rani would undoubtedly be a goner.

Force Shield , it was one of her katana abilities, a shield that can block one of a Titan class Mutant attack, as a life insurance for her, seeing that Shield activated and broken so easily, she couldn't suppress the chill running on her spine

masking her fear and cold sweat with a frown, She tried to talk to this little devil

"Have You come back to Your sense ?!"
