Legacy World 8.28 Thinking And More Thinking
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Angie and Elias worked silently. They tried to minimise any squeaks and cranks. Cold sweat dripped down their faces, necks, and backs. Their hearts pounded from the suspense.
[Leave now.] BaoBao suddenly warned. [They saw me. Three are coming your way.] BaoBao reported as he disappeared from sight.
Angie and Elias were just done. Angie bundled up their loot together as quickly as possible, then stepped out of the control room. The moment they did, familiar noisy heavy breathing and footsteps that made their hearts drop, echoed throughout the area. How close were the Infected to them?
Trusting that BaoBao would not have warned her without giving her enough time to retreat, Angie promptly stashed away the light stick deep into her pocket, which plunged them into darkness. She grabbed Elias’ free hand an

One of the Infected backed out of the tussle and approached their building. Angie and Elias kept their eyes peeled. Was it going to enter? Suddenly, it punched the wall as hard as it could, clearly venting its frustrations. It sat down on the floor heavily, still breathing hard. Gradually, it turned its attention onto the one they had deemed as touch sensitive. It got up again to approach the oblivious one. The aggressor intentionally stood so close to it that it must have blocked whatever the oblivious one was interested in, because it finally looked up, only to have its face grabbed. “Are we about to witness bullying between the Infected?” Angie wondered aloud. “What's with the power dynamics? The ones around the base did not have this much… Personality

"Is it something you can't tell me?" Elias suddenly said. "It's okay if you still don't feel comfortable sharing." He sounded so gentle, genuine, and considerate that it made Angie go soft."You suspected something ever since the rooftop, didn't you?" Angie suddenly changed the topic."How do you know?" Elias' eyes widened in surprise.Angie lightly laughed. "You have been especially considerate and careful with me since then.""Sorry for being so insensitive before...""Hey, you didn't know better."They gave each other a tight-lipped smile, then a short silence followed.Angie's gaze awkwardly trailed off elsewhere. She looked

Elias' slightly ticklish featherlight touch brought Angie out of her dark thoughts. She stared at him curiously while he continued to silently stare at her hand, which had eased up under his touch. "I may not have been there for you last time," Elias suddenly spoke, "but I promise to be here for you from now on." The guilt in his eyes made her sigh and smile helplessly. "Didn't you already promise my mum that? Or was that done with a fickle heart?" Angie teased him. Elias got flustered. "No! No! I meant it then and I mean it now too. I mean, I mean-" Angie's soft laughter cut him off. "I know. I know." She sighed and smiled warmly. "Thank you, Elias." Elias' expression lightened up and he smiled back. "No nee
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 8.32 What Can I Say
"Wait, where're we going?" Elias asked upon realising that the direction they were heading in, took them further away from their group, towards the borders of the city.An idea struck him. "There was a change in plans?"Just then, he got tossed off her shoulder. He grunted a little at the unexpected impact and snapped his head towards Angie to check on her.Angie had her hands on her hips as she paced about, panting hard. Large beads of perspiration rolled off her face and dripped onto the ground. Her mask had completely fogged up.Elias' brows soon furrowed just like Angie's. As much as he wanted to help, he felt equally powerless.Meanwhile, all that filled Angie's mind was her irritation with the mask and the state o

Angie panted as she stared, wide-eyed, at her broken skates. Her heart beat wildly in her chest."Oh, thank god." Elias pulled her closer to him for a tighter embrace. "That was too close." His voice quivered as he spoke against the top of her head.A stone, large enough to trip Angie, had rolled into her path. Elias would have been sent tumbling if he had not anticipated her fall.[He reacted fast.] Even BaoBao was awed. A fraction of a second later and BaoBao would have to use the system market to save Angie.Angie squeezed his forearm, and she looked back at the ruins that laid before them. "Thank you." Angie said a little breathlessly. "But we should go now." Angie immediately brought them back to task.Elias moved

The ride became silent. Amelia had nothing to say. Others no longer wanted to associate with her any further either. The atmosphere was already bad enough. Although the ride had not been long, it was long enough for some to fall sick. Darcy, Amelia, and Valerie stayed close to the sides of the vehicle. They held onto their throbbing heads. Their stomachs lurched with each and every bounce. “Mom, you okay?” Elias reached out to her. “I’m fine. Don’t mind me.” His mother weakly reassured him. “I’ll last. If I pass out, it’ll be from this stinking heat.” She smiled. Elias smiled back. He felt sorry for his mother, but there was nothing much he could do at the moment. Meanwhile, Conrad chatted with the others. "H

Jeffery recovered soon and helped to keep an eye out.“Is that what I think it is?” Jeffery asked out of the blue.Everyone squinted and stared hard into the distance, where Jeffery was looking at.Among the waves of water vapour, they could barely make out an outline of what seemed like an oasis."Am I hallucinating now?" Jeffery checked with the others.Everyone else confirmed that they saw the same thing.“Could that just be a mirage?” Conrad questioned."Finally! Yes!” Valerie cheered at the same time.Elias wordlessly looked at Angie.

[Angie!] Angie’s eyelids flew open. Everything around her was dyed a dark orange. [The sun’s setting. If you want light, you better set them up now.] BaoBao warned. /Right. We don’t know how dark the night here is going to be./ The moment Angie got up, Elias woke up from his light nap. “Angie? Is something wrong?” “The sun’s setting. We should get ready.” Elias nodded and left to nudge those who were still asleep. Meanwhile, Miryam whispered to Angie, with a gentle smile on her face, “You slept so soundly. You must really trust the people here.” [Mmhm! The ones she

RenRan began napping. A lot. Souls did not need sleep, but they could choose to do so. FanHai was one of those who seemed to never catch a wink of sleep. While RenRan slept, he stayed by her side, always keeping himself busy with something. This carried on for a good time before she began to catch him with his guard lowered after waking up. ‘A while more.’ RenRan did not believe that a man like him could keep himself entertained this long and resist a cat nap with her. At this point, BaoBao cried out in frustration. There were a few times she could have slipped away because he had already fallen asleep with her! He even dared to cuddle with her. That spot was only reserved for two people! Him and the familiar soul! “Is it really too much to assist by waking her up?” He challenged the elder one. “Is it so hard for her to stay awake in a world that doesn’t need sleep?” He challenged BaoBao back. “...That’s easy for you to say.” Then, BaoBao puffed his cheeks and returned to gl
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.6 Make Yourself Comfortable
RenRan’s eyes opened wide. No matter how hard she pushed against him or how much she pounded his chest, shoulders, or head, he persisted on. She tried to bite him, but he avoided using his tongue and skillfully moved his mouth in tandem with her attempts. With his hand cupping the back of her head, she could not break the kiss either. She was at his complete mercy. ‘I should have dropped the act earlier. This isn’t worth it!’ Fear slowly gripped her heart as she wondered how far he would take it. Then, he stopped, just as suddenly as he started. “Enough?” He grinned and meaningfully applied greater pressure on her lower back. His move made RenRan conscious of the rock hard member against her abdomen. Immediately recognising what it was, she fiercely pushed against his chest and demanded, “Okay, let me go! I’ll properly spend some time with you first!” He smiled with satisfaction. “Like I thought.” Then, he let her go. “You wouldn’t have to waste so much time and energy if you jus
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.5 I’m Your Soulmate
RenRan’s heart jumped but she poised herself promptly, ready to grapple with whoever had manhandled her. “Why’d you run away from me? Didn't we have deal?” The somewhat familiar deep voice cleared up the situation. “I’m not running from you.” RenRan explained as she attempted to pull her arm out of his strong grip. “You know you can’t lie with this within us.” He pointed at his chest and kept on his tight smile. “You got to try harder than that to convince me.” RenRan frowned. “And I was precisely following that to find you, as agreed.” His smile gradually disappeared as his gaze dropped to study her entire body. “…You’re weaker than the last time I saw you.” RenRan had nothing to say in response. Instead, she attempted to twist her arm free again. “Even so, I’ve never heard of a compass malfunctioning because of this before.” Annoyed with his accusations, RenRan tuned in
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.4 What’s My Dream
RenRan headed for a condensed group of swirling sparkles that was just a little larger than her. ‘So, my mission is to achieve my dream no matter the cost. What’s my dream? To find YingTao? No, I’ll definitely find him. It’s just a matter of time. Then, I’ll find out that YingTao doesn’t want me anymore. And I’ll want him back...’ RenRan thought of everything that had happened in RenRan’s life. ‘I can only hope that her dream’s that simple...’ She began to think of all her misdemeanors, then ways to right her wrongs. [I should stop you right there. If it wasn’t clear enough before, as long as you’re in the story scenes, you’re supposed to do and say all the things the original character did.] ‘What? You didn’t say that earlier.’ [I mentioned earlier that it's risky to provoke this world’s consciousness into doing anything. So, we can only observe this world. What do you think this mea
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.3 Damsel in Distress
Luna was right. She had inhabited Luo RenRan’s body. RenRan’s family belonged to the working class, but her gripe was not their standard of living, it was her parents’ favourtism for her brothers. She was the only girl, and she was the oldest. Anything her brothers did, she was responsible for. Any wrong they committed, they were let off with a more lenient punishment, while she was supposed to forgive and forget. Their expectations for her and the restrictions they imposed on her could not be compared to the standards they held her brothers against. The only solace she had was that her siblings never directly crossed her line, even when she was old enough to start working. If only it stayed that way forever. “RenRan... Forgive your brother, okay? You know he only took it because he needed it and only you can help him. If you have someone you need to blame, blame your father.” A gentle motherly voice coaxed her. “If your father helped, none of us would be
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.2 What Am I Doing Here
“Wh- What am I doing here?” BaoBao looked around in shock. He recognised this place. The last time he was here, it was to defend Luna. “Why am I back here?”The elder one sighed. “Why did you do it?”“D- Do what?”Gasps were heard around him.“It lies.”“It truly deceives.”“Surely, that’s bad.”“This can’t go on.”“It’s always this one system.”“Clearly there’s something wrong with it.”All the administration looked at the elder one, waiting for the go ahead. The elder one looked at BaoBao so intensely as if BaoBao was a specimen under his microscope. BaoBao gulped. He felt exposed. What was with this elder one? Whatever the case, Luna had already been sent to the next world. He could not dilly dall
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.1 Not Again
“Don’t ignore me! I know you’re awake!” Someone pushed Luna’s shoulder hard. Her eyes flew open, and a purple and black galaxy unfolded before her. Her bottom left whatever she had been sitting on, but she did not fall. There was a resistance that made her body glide instead. Luna blinked a few times, stunned. "I dare you to say it again.” The same voice challenged her. Luna turned towards the source. There it was again. The sensation when she moved was familiar. However, she had no time to make sense of it. The deep voice belonged to a burly woman, instead of a man like Luna had assumed, not that it made anything better. Her guest looked as friendly as a starving lioness. Luna straightened her neat celestial-like robes while she quickly collected her thoughts. It shimmered and shone brighter than the glow emanating from her body. The fabric was so silky to touch that it was like water. Although it was transluc

“LUNA!” BaoBao jumped onto her. Luna grunted from the impact. It reminded her of how much he had grown from the first time she met him. ‘How is he so weightless but so heavy at the same time?’ “Hi BaoBao,” she laughed lightly, “Is this your new way of sending me to the next world?” “Huh?! No, no! It’s far too soon to be sending you to the next world, isn’t it?!” Luna laughed even more. “I was just teasing.” BaoBao blinked innocently. “Oh.” Luna looked at him endearingly. “You’re still so much like a kid.” She rubbed the top of his head lovingly. “Don’t systems live for eternity, if nothing goes wrong?” “Mmhm, what about it?” “It still felt that long to you?” “YES!” BaoBao confirmed without a second thought. Luna laughed. “Let’s spend some time together before heading to the next world.” BaoBao’s heart warmed and h

Nozomi closed her eyes and thought hard about his request. It did not feel right or good to take his years, but she had no right to dictate how he should live his life.‘Since he’s really fine with it...’Nozomi pushed her hands forward to cup his cheeks. “Okay...”Hikaru’s eyes brightened up. He promptly retrieved his book and readied himself. Nozomi watched Hikaru activate his magic with interest. The way his book’s ribbon splits and transforms into a robe and staff never got old. “Thank you, for going along with my wishes.” His heartfelt gratitude was reflected in his eyes as well. Nozomi smiled in understanding and squeezed his hands that were once again holding onto hers. Hikaru closed his eyes and focused on her presence, then said the incantation that he had memorised by then.Green glowing vine marks appeared
