" No one can give you oblivion before its time or sell it to you before it opens its branches, you have to acquire it with your pain, insomnia and tears, this is the only currency with which you deal with feelings in the face of loss. "
Life consists not chiefly, or to a large extent, of facts and events.. but consists chiefly of the storm of thought that flows forever through the human head.
War is the path to the unknown
Chapter Seven : I Have Superpowers?
There are men who do not know that words are like bullets that cannot be recovered.. and in a moment of anger, they may empty their ammunition for words that surprise you with their hurt.
This stranger was saying some nonsense from Caiden's point of view
" May I ask you, but are you really the person on TV you look so much like? If you tell me it's him, I'll believe you." Kayden asked, anticipating the answer from that person.
" Ha ha you mean? Yes, I am him..or as he calls me in the media
'Head of Trade Hermes' I didn't know that my fame had reached this level.
this fucker? Is he bragging now?
I remember he wrote an article at the time he said
"Before you speak.. listen, before you write.. think, before you spend money.. earn, before you pray.. seek forgiveness, before you get hurt.. feel, before you hate.. love, before you despair.. try, Before you die.. live."
It seems that he learned some philosophy when he was young or something .. but in reality I liked those sentences, I feel that they were written and meaningful at the same time
Then Hermes sat next to Caiden on a lawn chair
" So let's talk about serious matters
It's really amazing that you inherited your grandfather's merits and a little imprint. I think you will really do it."
"Did I say do it? .. do what"
"Don't be too hasty, as the time is still a little far from that.. Do you want us to continue our conversation on the plane? I don't think this is a suitable place to talk."
As someone who has killed Kayden once before
Kayden was feeling a lot anxious about getting on the plane with him
Remember that ironic saying: There are two kinds of fools: those who doubt everything. And those who do not suspect anything.
" If someone kills you once and then tells you when you meet them again, come with me, what would you do?" Kayden asked
If I answer your question, you will determine that
Well I have two logical answers
First, you cannot meet him again because you are dead in reality
Secondly, if you meet him, I think he can kill you again, right? "
" Hmm, you convinced me.. I'm joking, but I want you to give me the gun you're carrying with you.. At least I'll protect myself from you."
Hermes sighed~
Then he took out the gun he was carrying with him
"OK, take that gun, but don't shoot me stupidly, okay?"
Because it's not a regular bullet gun you know."
" Yeah.. yeah.. I know how Hermes will carry the chief tradesman of the kingdoms like cheap revolvers anyway."
Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
So Kaiden had to change his style and the events that took place before he was brought back from death again
Caiden and Hermes stood up
Then they climbed the stairs of the plane and Hermes Pal opened the plane, which was in the public garden
Kayden could not know how a plane of this magnitude parked in this garden without anyone noticing it or reporting it until now.
Caiden and Hermes got inside the plane
Then Hermes went to a room that looked like a guest room
"Would you please?" Hermes extended his hand towards Cayden, as if to ask him to give him the gun again
" What ? Cayden was surprised that Hermes did that and produced a strange reaction
" You're in my plane now. If I wanted to kill you, I would.. Or I would have done it anyway.. You can't do anything with that gun in your hand anyway."
Hermes said softly
Kayden hesitated a bit before returning the gun to him again
" Haha, good kid.. Now we can start.. Then Hermes looked at his fridge, which was in the back, and said, "Wait, I think there's juice for the kids in the fridge, I think.. Are you hungry? Maybe you should eat too."
" Skipping those events.. So what's going on with me? "
"Okay, let me explain to you a little bit...
But before that, do you believe in nature and mana? "
" Nature.. you said? Hmm, well, let's see. I believe in trees and animals and storms and that stuff.. If that's what you mean by nature, then yeah.. I do."
" So have you ever thought that nature has a mysterious and hidden power? ..
Or that only a few people can use those powers and that you are looking for them and can't find anyone to guide you? "
" So you're saying I can use these powers? This is what I understood from your story.
"Well, it's not necessary for you to suddenly wake up, but yeah, that's what I mean."
" So are you saying that bringing me back to life and living today again is part of these powers? I find it strange sometimes."
Suddenly silence spread around the place
Kayden knew that anyone who didn't take the truth seriously in small matters could not be trusted with any of the big things
Then Hermes interrupted this silence
" Taking your story into account, why are you so sure you've come back from the dead again? Doesn't this mean that you may have seen part of future events? "
" You say I saw the events of the future? But it changed when I did different things today."
Perhaps your ability is to know the near future without making any change.
"I really don't understand what you mean."
" I mean, at least you can control the near future."
And the death that I felt and the bleeding, were all these feelings an inner thought?
" Well, that may be your ability.. but this remains just a theory that has not been tried so far.
Then Hermes stood up, opened the door of the room, and half of his body came out
Then he turned back and said
" let's follow me from here
Caiden was surprised by what that man named Hermes said at that moment
Does he have superpowers like those movies or something?
Then Caiden followed him and left the room
Kaiden spoke after that, "But I didn't understand any of these superpowers and grandfather?
I've heard some stories about my fifth grandfather and his great power, but what? I now have a superpower like the one he had? "
"yeah i think so"
" If this is true, then what about my father, my grandfather, and the one before him? Did my father have no power? I've never seen him do such a weird thing in my entire life."
"or that's what you think"
What is it ? And what does he say? Many questions were running through Caiden's mind at that time
Then, the door to a room that was in front of them gradually opened, and then a lot of equipment appeared, and many things like this that any mad scientist would have
Beakers, tubes and lots of computer monitors
"Let's start with some facts "
Your self that is between your two sides, there is nothing closer to you than it, and yet you are the most ignorant of people about it, and if the amount of your knowledge of yourself is like this, then what is the matter with your knowledge of others
