"Rose, is everything ok?" Her mother asked when she noticed the sad expression on her daughter's face. Rose realized that she has let her emotions out and it has been shown on her face, then she quickly hide it. "I'm good Mom, you don't have to worry," she said, with a natural face but her father saw through her facade."Rose you know you can tell us anything, if something is bothering you you can tell us about it and let us know, after all, we are your parent and your happiness is our happiness, we must protect and guide you," her father said. "Yes baby, you don't have to always endure or shoulder everything all by yourself dear, let us help you." her mother added. ['Sob' 'Sob'] Rose started tearing up when she saw how her parents were getting worried and their love for her. "Don't cry, dear" her mother said, moving closer to sit beside her while giving her hugs, trying to console her little girl. "You can tell us now ok?" she said and her father nodded, clearly waiting anxiousl
"10.2km remaining for us to arrive at the city gate, sir," one of the sailors of the ship said. Alex smiled and replied "Ok, slow down the ship's speed, the city's formation will detect us as soon as we are closer to the city, and if we move at top speed, they are gonna see us as intruders and try to take us down. We are not ready to battle a whole underwater civilization, are we?" Alex said, trying to caution the sailor. "Very well sir" the sailor replied and the ship began to slow down and started moving at a slow pace. 15 minutes later, they got closer to the magnificent city of Atlantica that look like a giant flood dragon, souring into the nine heavens. The city wall stands as a magnificent and formidable structure, encircling the heart of the underwater city with a majestic sight. It was crafted from a combination of resilient materials found in the depths of the Ocean. Rising from the ocean floor, the city wall extends upward, its height rivaling the grandest towers of Atl
"Even though we Atlanteans tolerate humans in our great realm, that doesn't give them the audacity to be making impudent assumptions," Adrian Maris said with a cocky face."I wonder who asked him now?" someone whispered among the crowd of people. "His arrogance knows no bounds," another person said slowly. "Don't you know the Maris noble family? They are all full of themselves" "I see...!" Both the Atlanteans and the humans started whispering among themselves. "Next?" A grim voice was suddenly heard from the front of the line and the next person quickly moved to the front of the guard. "50 thousand ordinary Seastones to enter the city," the guard with the stern voice said with an emotionless face. "What???" "50 thousand ordinary Seastones?" "This is fucking daylight robbery" The people at the front of the gate started complaining in a loud voice, clearly against the high cost of entry into the city."I could eat my fills and even feed 5 grown men with 20 thousand ordinary
~ Earth. Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin's house ~ Rose and her parents wore grim looks while they were listening to what Rose was saying. "But I have a suspect" Rose suddenly said with a cold face and both her parent asked in unison;"Who is it?" Rose took a deep breath, looked at her parents, and said, "I met a guy named Alex when Jon and I had a misunderstanding and I thought Alex was everything a lady could ever wish for, unknown to me, that was nothing but a facade. He was handsome and hot but not as much as Jon. We got together pretty well as friends but not until I had a terrible dream about him." she said. "And what's the dream about?" Mr. Benjamin asked curiously. "He was a leader of a very strange secret organization and he was ruthless. It was as if I'm seeing the real side of him and I was scared. It felt so real." Rose said with a pale face. "Oh darling, dreams ain't meant to be trusted most times you know, you don't have to worry yourself about that." Mr. Benjamin said while
~ The next day ~ "Ugh… agh!"Rose woke up with a slight headache, her eyes swollen and red. It was evident that she didn't get a good sleep last night. "I couldn't get enough sleep last night, argh…" she muttered irritably and stood up from her bed, going straight into the bathroom to freshen up. Ten minutes later, she came out and checked her phone. [6:30 am] I have to quickly take my bath and meet this person that told me to meet her at the Heavenly Palace Restaurant. "I wonder who it was and how she knew about Jon or even my number," Rose mumbled skeptically. "Should I call the police or something? Should I tell my Dad about it? No, no one can kidnap me in Heavenly Palace Restaurant, after all, I will have to go alone and find out what this person is up to." she said with resolution and immediately went inside the bathroom. 'KNOCK! KNOCK!' Rose's door room was knocked and Rose immediately yelled from inside the bathroom. "Who is there?" "It's me, darling" Mrs. Benjamin's v
~ Atlantica ~ Alex and his group moved closer to the guard at the front of the city's gate. "50 thousand ordinary Seastones to enter into the city." The guard said. Alex nodded and dropped two Earthsea Stones for the guard. "Here! You can have this." Alex said while looking at the stunned guard. "Oh…yeah, yeah, you can go inside the city now. Welcome to our world." The guard bowed slightly and made way for Alex and his entourage. But what happened threw everyone, both the few humans and the Atlanteans into a frenzy. "What? He just dropped two Earthstones?" a beautiful Atlantean lady exclaimed in surprise. "Oh, my God! Who is he?" another person asked in amazement. "Those must be very influential humans in the human world for them to be able to get their hands on many Earthsea stones like that." another person said. ******The guard looked at Alex and his groups as they entered the main gate with a smile but his smiles suddenly turned shrewd and he turned to the second guard b
~ Atlantica ~In a large luxurious mansion that was filled with different types of luminous sea rocks, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the exuberance field in front of him. The young man stood tall and was adorned with a blue robe. He was extremely handsome but his aura wasn't of humans. An elderly man walked up to him and bowed slightly while waiting in silence. "What happened?" the young man asked in a deep baritone voice without looking at the old man. "I receive a message that Mr. Alex has already arrived in our world and he is on his way here." the old man said respectively. "Oh? That kid is here already? I wonder what he is doing in our world this time around. I thought he was assigned by the master to be in charge of our organization on Earth." the young man mumbled to himself with a slight smile and then he said. "Tell him to come, I'll be waiting for him." "Okay, master." the old man said and then he turned and walked away. It would be surpri
Every expert in the large Inn looked up in horror and awe, surprised by the strange yet horrifying burst of energy. Inside the fifth floor. "Young master, young master, you have to control yourself." The old man shouted slowly while looking at Jon with eyes filled with horror. Jon was oblivious to the commotion that he was causing as he sat cross-legged, caught up in the new surge of life and energy that was coursing through his veins and the superb changes that were going through all the parts of his being. 'Wow, this is how it feels to be a mage? This energy…'He was surprised and started checking himself but the high cry of someone in the room suddenly snapped him out of his trance. "Young master, young master…" Jon opened his eyes when he heard the panicked voice of the old man and quickly looked at him but to his surprise, he saw the old man trying to stand up with sweat pouring down from his body. "Old man Feng, what happened?" Jon asked when he noticed that something was
~ Earth ~ Three extremely beautiful women were seen in a beautiful black car as the car was making its way toward Mr. Benjamin's estate. Rose appeared to be in deep thought as she was thinking about the conversation she just had in the restaurant. But soon her gaze started changing, it seems as if she has already made up her mind. Elena appeared confused as she was driving the car, she has tried so many times now to know what exactly they'd discussed but Aunty Elena will always dismiss her by saying, "It's a personal matter little girl, you don't have to worry yourself too much on it." 'First of all, who is she calling a little girl?' 'From her beautiful face, I could tell she's not even up to twenty-five years old, heh. And why did she always talk to us as if she were some big sister?' Elena grumbled inwardly as she continued driving but she soon noticed Aunty Elena staring at her with a strange smile on her face. "Oh, shit! Why is she looking at me like that? Did she hear my
~ Atlantica ~ Jon sat cross-legged on the ground while looking at old man Feng with a stunned expression. He was amazed by how vast the world is and how powerful some ancient beings that have roamed the heavens are. Old Man Feng picked up a green jug on the table that was filled up with spiritual wine and poured it into a little green mug on the table. 'GULP!'With a gulping sound, old man Feng gulped down everything. He took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "Here! Take a look at this manual." Old man Feng said. With a wave of his hand, the old scroll appeared again and it mysteriously floated and landed in front of Jon. Jon watched as the Ancient scroll landed and picked it up. He wiped it with the back of his hand while holding it. "What is this?" Jon asked curiously. "That's a cultivation method for a low-level mage like you." old man Feng replied. "You still have to build your foundation and make sure you get used to channeling and controlling the energy of heaven and ea
Lady Lilian looked up and asked. "Which room?" "According to one of the servants we inquired from, she said it's the fourth quarter on the fifth floor." one of the two guards said. "What about that old man? Has he noticed anything?" Lady Lillian asked softly. "We have no idea if he has already noticed but I know he would have been alerted and he would want to investigate the matter. Maybe the expert in that room on the fifth floor was doing something or was enraged and his powerful spiritual energy suddenly burst out." the tall guard said. "Hnn, that should be the case, you can go now. Let's see if it's some experts or it's a treasure." Lady Lilian said while picking up her Zither again. Both the guard nodded and immediately went out of the room. "Interesting." Lady Lilian mumbled softly with a smile and then continued with what she was doing. ~ Earth, 8:15 am, 2053 ~ "So why did you change your mind?" Rose asked while examining Aunty Elena warily. "And that's where my questi
