Jake

The tranquil white room before was now resonating painful and violent cries. The alarmed groups was quick on their pace, they were just 30 meter's away from Jake and Ernesh who was bloodied from unknown reasons.

They could see that Ernesh was wiggling like a worm, like it was being poured by a grain of salt all over his body. Therefore they quicken their pace once more again.

All they'd have know was that, Ernesh and Jake was calmly talking to each other, and the rest was a mystery.

'I don't know about that Ernesh guy was, but if this dragged out more, Jake could die in panic' Mari said worriedly.

Jake, the scout of the group. His personalities was that of a jester and has a high responsibility of himself and the group. He may look terrible in the outside, but he was still one of the biggest heart in the group.

Jake face was that of an undead monster. Around his right eye was a rotten flesh that was starting to go black, and around his mouth was a mixture of the rotten meat and the mandible skeleton, at his left face was a thousand of stitches. It was too grotesquely disturbing.

Jake main weapon is of a pair of a short sword that could be easily be wielded and it's weight was balanced that could easily kill and parry.

Jake battle outfit was that of a normal scout suits. He was wearing a long brown scarf that was wrapping around his neck, a dark-red sleeve, bulging gloves, an easy to move pants and most of all a face masks that has an salamander engraved in it that was use for hiding his face.

Despite these characteristics, his teammates accepted him of who he really is. Mostly Mari, who worried the most for his well being. She accepted him and love him dearly.

"Hayyst! looks like he wasn't able to withstand the trouble that we had cause" Ankh heavily sighed. As he look at the beat up Lofn.

After causing that much damage, Ernesh body, mind and soul was not able to bear the devastated damage that Kaala and them had cause.

Body, mind and soul was like the brain, heart and lungs, if one was not working well the other could not be able to function well too. But in this case, it was entirely different. The whole thing was starting to waver, the body goes numb and the blood was running out furiously out of it's body, mind where you could freely talk to yourself had started to go blank and soul the very essence of the being and where it's hold the memories of it's past self and experience.

Normally, if someone was at the near death door, soul wouldn't be affected by any means, even if you did have a soul consumption ability only small fragments of it would be taken. So how was this even possible, you may ask?

Kaala species was one of the first ever beasts that the creator himself created. That was given the ability to oversee the time and death, and once a prideful beasts that wouldn't bow to anyone. But sadly it vanished along with the ancient Dragon and the undying Phoenix, the rest was history.

As the name suggest "Time and Death" the overseer of these phenomenal components and was one of the first ever beasts. The aura ball that Kaala fired was a condensed of pure aura of both "Time and Death", but thanks to the barrier that Ankh set, the damage was minimize into of that a normal attack of a silver hornet. If not because of the barrier, Ernesh would be obliterated into nothingness and the time he had spent in this world would be banished into the memories of the people that had know him or loved him. It was a terrifying and scary. Dying without the people even remembering you.

but the problem is that the scattered aura was still lingering inside the imaginary world.

Looking at the perpetrator(kaala) who was once again in a deep sleep. 'What a wicked cat'

Well it's not like Ankh, would give a shit to this situation as he had already know at what would happen to the future and it's demise.

'Hey Author, you should stop these cliches and fast forward it to the ti--- tsk! can't say it again' Ankh said out of nowhere. Is he talking nonsense?

[White room]

Looking at the situation of Ernesh and the panicking Jake. You could clearly see that Ernesh was quickly losing his pulse and him breathing so slow.

On the other side, Jake was panicking so vividly as he sweat coldly. He's breathing was unstable to the point he could almost choked himself through his saliva.

As for the others, it was only a matter of time before they could reach, Ernesh and Jake.

Zackrow, Mari, Shin and the others was just a few steps forward before reaching them. As they shouted, "What had happened!?"

Jake Look at the back. "I-idont k-know, I-it just h-happen s-s-so f-fast" Jake replied in a stutter way of saying.

Bead's of sweat was dripping down through his jaw. Tears was gradually forming.

Mari seeing the nearly crying Jake, remembers what had Jake had told her in the past.

'F*ck!' she could only mumble in discouraged.

As Mari, Zackrow and accompany was just at Jake back. Zackrow quickly use's knifehand strike at Jake neck, as it to render Jake unconscious and to avoid the worst case scenario.

"Now quick and use "Aura transfer" to slightly calm Jake" Zackrow quickly order Mari.

[Aura transfer - It was a medical procedures that uses aura to either regenerate the depleted aura of the subject, or to cure the negative effect of shock, nervousness, instability, heart failure, etc.]

After ordering Mari, Zackrow took a glance at Ernesh. As he grinned and heartily smile after. 'It seems like she had finally sent her envoy' Zackrow mutter silently.

For that reason, it seems like Zackrow knew at what was currently happening at Ernesh well being. But kept it as his own for now. "Vulsk, Heal him please"

[Imaginary world]

Imaginary world, where there are just one rule. The owner of the imaginary world is the absolute and is an all powerful, non could ever hope to control or invade the place of the owner, except for it's owner uses only.

But there are exception, if the owner is not aware of his/her own imaginary world, it would be render useless as he could not command it or hope to hold on it.

Just like Ernesh who was not yet fully aware of his very own world. Who was left standing in the imaginary world, as he was just standing silently, rubbing his glossy hair.

"I remember this place?" As he said questionably. As he only remember that him being asleep at that and being kicked out by Ucho. "Ah! That's right this place was owned by Ucho. That damn ball of light."

Reminding of the unfortunate day, that him being kicked out, out of the blue. And at such him just recently awake at that time, and him suddenly telling him that "Oii... I have left a huge commotion at the 56th intelligence being, so better not get notice."

And after saying that, he kicked me out. What a damn ball of light.

As he was left standing there alone, a sudden voice was soon heard. "You have grown quite weak, for a being who was blessed by my skill. Yet couldn't even begun to advance to the next stage. What a waste of talent."

Seductive and disappoinment was all over her voice, as she continued. "I would be grateful if you did be able advance into a higher degree, Go get strong and if the fate would allow it, I would grant you one wish. lt'd be a messed if you trashed more than that."

After saying that, she slightly waved her hands. As the wave of her hands, substance of an unknown material. Slowly moves to Ernesh body.

At first Ernesh was alerted to the voice and it's owner, but after seeing her face. Ernesh reconsider his alertness, and change it into of a sudden love and softness.

"These are the fact that i am willing to cooperate with you, so don't do unnecessary things." And ended with that monologue.

All Ernesh could do was nod and nod. As the shadows slowly dissipate. "What a lovely lady"

Ernesh will and reasoning was now conquered by someone. Other than Ucho who was also controlling Lofn, the lady that Ernesh unknowingly fell in love.

****

On the other side of the imaginary world. Ankh(Ucho) who was loudly laughing, and said. "This cringiness never gets old, although I am moving by this author hand, I am still somehow able to move when he was not writing."

"What are you talking about" Lofn said, in discomfort, as she narrow her insight on Ankh even more.

Ankh turned around, as he said jokingly. "Nothing at all, you would still forget it so don't get bother by it."
