Chapter 2 part 1 The fishing boat

Japan was pretty much ideal for us considering the civil wars that had erupted throughout the world.

USA was totally ruined as a former president had launched nuclear weapons on the white house by entering incorrect coordinates ironically, ever since then USA has put on campaigns promoting the banning of education.

Europe had its taste of disaster when it began a campaign to reform yet again and ironically end up failing so badly they lost 50 percent of modern advancements.

Most parts of the world had no electricity or running water however Japan had advanced while the world declined after all Japan's 400 million people made up 67 percent of the world's population and that was all thanks to Horas directly.

Arriving in Japan meant that I would now have to be stuck in character and live by myself till the year was over.

Being a nerd was pretty simple all I had to do was keep my head down and fade into the background while achieving high grades.

Horas had the hardest assignment, the role of bait, his every action needed to be meticulous and command respect to force Alexander out of the wood work.

Hathor was hiding something and Alexander undoubtedly knew this secret so all I had to do was uncover it.

If I asked Horas he likely would need more information on the matter to complete the extrapolation.

The month before we left the crypt Horas told me to put Alexander and Zeus's actions together to find the answers we needed and all I could come up with is that Zeus wanted more immortals.

The conclusion made no sense as Zeus always craved superiority over everyone she hated losing her fight against me on Titan and hated Isis more then anyone.

I would be living among the lower class of Japan to find any links Alexander had made.

Alexander was a very tiny threat his ambitions and goals had undoubtedly left him vulnerable, Horas becoming a power house undoubtedly threw a wrench into the plan set out by Zeus.

Currently Horas had crushed Alexander 3 times, the first was his world wide domination plan with immortal suppression technology, second was when he extended Alexander's life and destroyed the world and last was here in Japan when Horas captured the only hope Alexander had for immortality.

I had finally got on to the bus from the airport and now I would arrive in my new home for the next year, Horas would undoubtedly pull me into 1 of his estates in Japan to live more comfortably.

The bus ride was pleasant and after I left the bus station I walked in between buildings till finally I had arrived at a small building that was merely 6 meters across and had 4 homes squeezed into the space.

The building manager lived in the downstairs house and as I knocked on his door I saw ornaments on his door that represented Horas, the guardians wings and the great blade 8.

The man opened the door and said "Lord Horas sent you to this humble abode my Lord Cronos, we are the Illumanati and are always in search of knowledge. I will aid you in you endeavours for the price of knowledge if you feel the price is too steep I will not be of assistance."

Horas had told me that Japan boasted hundreds of Illumanati members in odd places some were so wealthy they could rival the nobles however they lived in the slums seeking knowledge worthy of a taste of immortality.

I was still a bit taken by the words of the man and replied "I will bestow knowledge on you for your assistance."

The man stood up and was dressed in a neat suit with a red tie, his hair had been combed down and to his right both his eyes and hair were jet black removing any possible appeal that may arise from physical attributes.

The man helped me to my room and said "If you wish to investigate secret dealings join me downstairs in 5 minutes I will get you to the black market here in Tokyo."

I set my bags down and quickly got ready to leave changing into a simple black T-shirt and track pants.

I had got downstairs in less then 3 minutes and the landlord helped show me around Tokyo.

The greatest catch was the black market operated inside the old fish market, the smell of fish made it almost impossible for dogs to pin point drugs or weapons.

The landlord gave 2 pieces of advice first was for me not to standout and second was for me not to be invisible if I entered the black market or I'd be attacked.

I scanned the fish market and quickly noticed bags of drugs being exchanged for what seemed to be bags of spice, whether you consider it ironic or not, just after the electric market collapsed things like spice became extremely expensive commodities.

Money was pretty much an elite or international trading commodity so it was not common place.

I looked over the several deals occurring and to no surprise police were part of the black market.

I had to move in and see things a bit better as I started to enter the market 2 men approached me from behind with guns pointed at me.

The man on my right said "This is no place for kids unless you looking to swim with the fishs tonight."

I stopped and said "I was told I could get some good work here to pay for my rent."

The man on my left said "You look to weak to do hard labour so why don't I test you little boy."

This was the true hard part I had to face the man with just enough power to not go down and enough power to express I'm capable.

The first punch came in quick and I ducked the punch by just letting the tips of his fingers graze me in that instant I had all the information I needed.

The next punch wound up and I punched back yet I couldn't actually knock him down or out I had to land a blow that he felt but was just a sting.

My punch connected to his stomach perfectly and the man seemed to stop his punch from striking and said "Okay you got enough strength to work so come help me with my fishing and I will give you a quarter kilogram of beef a week."

The offer was generous enough to live at the building I was in for several weeks.

I had reacted with the perfect over joyed reaction and worked just hard enough to be kept on to work daily.

I put on a huge smile and said "Thank you so much I won't let you down boss!"

This felt just right and then the man's punch reformed and he drove his punch into my stomach I gripped at my stomach acting like I had just received a heavy punch and the man said "Stop your crying and follow me boy!"

We walked through the market and came up on a fishing trawler.

The man spoke once more saying "Today we setup for the morning fishing trip. You will not touch the trawling net, you will not see what's in the trawling net or I will gut you like a fish and dump you into the ocean. You may take 1 fish home with you per day and make sure you go to school when we get back to the harbour."
