2021-11-06 10:03:44On the day of the exam, Psyche Sect was to wake with the sky drawn by dampened clouds, the horizon a dirty-white with occasional streaks of light illuminating its scope, looking like that of a child ready to whine any minute or two.
It was to this that the school staff was to be found erecting a long tent in the Amphitheater, lining about ten armchairs in a row and ten in a column, each of them carrying a netbook, a sheaf of parchment, and a pen. All the chairs were numbered, corresponding to the scheduled student to take the test on this day.
Because everyone was to take the midterm in the Amphitheater, it would last for a week and a half. To consider the time and the subject the student would be tested on, every exam only had a thirty-minute interval. The examinees were expected to hold themselves to a higher standard, which means that 0n

The Body Thief Complete Manifestation
For the next two days, Hera managed to keep herself on her toes, despite her despair and her stupidity now crashing over her, telling her she could not and would not pass over and over again. She was not meant to be there in the first place. It would have been a rare feat to even accomplish a passing score when all the time she’s studying, she was preoccupied with the thought that she couldn’t understand a thing while scanning and dreading the day her doom was to come. She almost always wished for the sun not to set whenever it hid in the mountain, exploding the horizon with gold and orange rays, the night slowly taking over as she grabbed her hair, throwing her book against the wall, and crying for not wanting to fail but not being able to study well enough.It didn’t help that students were exiting the Amphitheater with slumped shoulders and eyes swelling with tears. She didn&rsqu

“Tina had gone mad, ain’t she?” said a girl whose blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, watching as Tina Goldstein passed by them and sat in an opposite chair in the Filling Realm, eating rather fast without a care in the world.A girl sitting next to her narrowed her eyes. “I think so, too.” She nodded, as though it settled the matter. “Have you heard to what she did to poor Merinda when she pranked her two days ago?”“Oh, yes, I did. Why shouldn’t I? It was a big scandal, ain’t it? The League was almost involved, but they did not, hadn’t they? They, too, are acting pretty weird. Usually, what Tina had done would merit her a reputation the likes of Janna’s sister, yet she did not. But I do think no one had forgotten how she had almost killed Merinda with nothing but a pen.”

On the last day of the midterm exam, Hera was to wake staring at the canopy of her bed, smiling a little as she felt for her body, realizing almost at once that she’s still inside Trina. She sat upright, chuckling when she saw the same frames and sticky notes on the stickered wall.Somehow, she felt bad because this would mean she wouldn’t be able to take the exam. She knew, though, that the League would have to consider her, for she was confined in the Hospital Wing. Although she’s weirded by the idea that her own body was in a state of comma, yet she’s wide awake here in Trina’s body, she couldn’t help being indifferent with it, especially when this was the very thing she wanted from the start: escaping the accursed fate her body was born with.She glanced in the mirror for a second or two, pursing her lips.

The news about Tina facilitating the last day of the exam with the League traveled faster than she could reach her dorm. Speculations and rumors immediately bloomed and everyone that had known Trina was banking on her to become one of the League itself. It was, after all, what happened when the League started to give out the task to outsiders that they themselves were doing. In this instant, what Trina had done to the poor Merinda and even her supposed madness was erased in a jiffy, as though she didn’t just attack her own friends, as though she had not almost killed anyone. Everywhere she went, students were whispering, pointing at her. Some were braver than anything she’d expect that they would stand in front of them and ask her if what they thought was right. Of course, because of the League’s gesture toward her, the knot to Hera’s patience had become rather thin and anyone who dared to go near her got a resounding snap and a threat if she could help it. “Hera or

Hera woke up with a loud gasp, breathing heavily as though she just surfaced from the deepest of ocean. She stared at the canopy for a moment, unaware of where she was and why she was breathing, trying to define what it was that brought her back to consciousness. It was until a stabbing pain crushed through her heart that she sat upright, her hand clenched on her chest, all thoughts now replaced with a nagging superiority of fear. She looked down at her shaking hands. It struck her as something unfamiliar, strange, and she remembered it wasn’t her hand but Trina’s. “I’m still not back?” she whispered, gulping as she arched on her back, groaning ever so loudly with yet another stab of excruciation wrapping her heart. Lying back down, she bit her lips, trying not to think what would happen i
Last Updated : 2021-11-15The Body Thief Yara's Greatest Mistake
Mastering body-thieving was a dream come true. But being able to escape the life and the body Hera’s been accursed with was beyond her reality. Even after it happened, she was hunted by the fact that she had to go back, that death was the cost she had to pay with the desire to leave the destiny she’s been born with.So cruel, so unfair, but nothing less than she expected. That’s how life worked. Everyone was given a path they’d have to walk through and defying it was a noble yet futile act. Perhaps it’s about luck or a criterion of which she’s yet to discern; one way or another, someone was to be born with fortune as their middle name. It just so happened that she got the end of the stick, and so, the legacy with which she inherited was nothing more than a residue of flaws and a punch of misery.She

Standing by the window, Hera watched the rain splattered by its glass, following its trail as it slid down the gutter.Somehow, she’s trying not to look at her reflection in it, for in the surface of her eyes, she could see the clip so vividly, playing seamlessly as though never wanting to be forgotten.It’s been over a day, yet the horror and anger circling her sister’s orbs remained ever-clearer. It looked as though even when a millennium passed, that picture of a terrible fate would not fade away. It was something she could not chew. Every time she’s reminded of it, she just lost her grip on herself, and everything that’s near ended up lying helplessly on the ground, broken to pieces. Most times, she imagined what it would feel if she could just run her hand through

The tent’s only source of light came from the pea-size flame dancing in the candle and the biggest of the moon that had been raised on the horizon that year. Hera followed the dance of this fire, the breeze of the wind caressing her whole being as what Mang Kanor had said echoed inside her head.She didn’t want to perceive her mother other than the picture of what she should have been, but every time she contradicted herself, the memory of her mother yelling at her father who’s doing nothing but to apologize spiraled in her thoughts, never-ending.“Happy birthday, Hera,” said her mother, the widest of smiles caressing her lips.It’s been over an hour since she arrived. Thousands of times she questioned her about the whereabouts of her father, but she’d only

The Body Thief Epilogue
Hera used to be a dark rose whose thorns prick anyone brave enough to draw closer. She spewed this kind of scent creeping the hell out of everyone within the radius and even went so far as to cover her face and keep her voice to herself just to annoy their shits.But the truth about it was rooted in her sense of mistrust toward humans. With everything that she’d gone through, her seclusion was such a thick defense mechanism keeping her from ever falling to the bait of insanity.Eyes were the window to the soul. It spoke of a language complex than the verbal dialogue, and so, it revealed everything the mouth couldn’t express. Likewise, the tone of her voice would bring out some emotions she was trying so much to keep hidden. This was to be the reason why she threw the curtains of her hair down her face and tolerate the rumor of her being mute.Even with the many layers erected around her, it didn’t stop the League and Kioven to penet
The Body Thief Dance with the Flames
Hera couldn’t help but smile as she stared at the League. She understood now that she made the right call of trusting them. Whether or not the president was accurate to say none of them trusted her, it no longer mattered. They had their reasons why they have kept some things from her. She didn’t even need to hear it. All it took was the big curves on their lips despite their body cradled by wounds to assure her that, no matter what happens, they have each other’s back. When the president started throwing the ruble off him, Hera realized they wouldn’t get out of here unscathed anymore. The look on his face as he wiped off dirt out of Ivy’s body and the energy projecting around him like a wildfire ready to consume anyone near its radius was enough confirmatio
The Body Thief Final Standing
Never did it cross Hera’s mind that she’d be facing her sister once again, not especially in a situation where she was forced to choose whether or not to free her from her misery or save herself. The decision was made even before she could think about it. The president knew that and he was taking full advantage of it.Guilt weighed her enough for the past few days, years even; now that she had an option to lift the burden on her sister’s shoulder, she, of course, would not hesitate to prioritize her welfare even at the expense of her own. Of course, knowing the president, it would be naïve to think he would just let go of his slave even if Hera was to bargain herself, so either she thought fast of defeating him or die trying in t
The Body Thief Aces in the Wrong Hands
All her life was a series of unfortunate events; almost always, it was a human who brought about the worst of it. She hated herself for what she was and for what freak she was slowly becoming. It wasn’t her idea to keep going back and forth in trusting people, but she couldn’t say she could go all out in doing so either, especially not when, every now and then, she turned out to be a witness of how ugly things could be once people put their mind on it.But haven’t she proved some had no potential of morphing into a monster she knew she feared? Or were they merely neglected in the back of her mind as her own prejudices filmed into the surface?
The Body Thief Prodigy
Elena stood looking up at the rosy hue across the now clearing sky, the golden fingers of the young sun piercing through the grayish clouds. She breathed heavily as a breeze ruffled the blonde lock of her hair. Closing her eyes, she clenched her fist on the hilt of her sword. It didn’t take her a long time to unsheathe and slash it in the air with such precision that she made a straight line. A yellow flash followed the trail of the track her sword had taken just as a big crack wounded the dimension.A smirk made its way to her lips when a sound of breaking china echoed and a glass-like dome fell like curtains on the ground to reveal the street where thousands of warriors were slain, lying helpless on the pool of their own blood. Wheeling around, she found Hera’s uncon
The Body Thief A Gamble with Death
Hera had never thought the day would come she’d stand to face death with nothing but a dagger and her ability to boot. It seemed she simply made the wrong decision of picking this sharp, pointed knife, but if she had chosen a sword or any other weapon perhaps, would she have time to master them? In any case, compared to the woman now sprinting toward them, her eyes intent at Hera, malice and thrill apparent in its glint, her sword-wielding would probably be trivial.“Are we just going to stand here and wait?” whispered Yara, her voice breaking a little.Sheels breathed heavily. “We don
The Body Thief On-the-Fly Teamwork
Style and Trust. Those were two of the many valuable things Hera had learned being with the League and were basically something she never would have cared about. Looking back, she was a rogue orphan, of whose being were even to darkness incomparable. There was too much she was containing inside her that her soul sort of just became evil. She isolated herself, push everyone who dared walk on the line of her boundary without much contemplation. She was afraid. It was a human that brought about her suffering, so why should the others be any different?And so, she lived most of her life always guarding her back in case someone tried to be sneaky and stab her from behind. She hated herself for what she was, but she had also learned that living in the past would n
The Body Thief Greetings of a Thousand Army
When Hera woke up, it took her a moment to realize why she had opened her eyes. Hadn’t she already covered that she did die? Or was it just some kind of dream while she’s perfectly awake? One thing’s for sure, though. It was not Sheels’s memory. If it was, which she doubted, she should have remembered it. Besides, as far as the world was concerned, she was yet to venture into any forest, let alone be trapped in the middle of it. If she had only forgotten it, it should have struck a certain recollection. Since nothing made sense, then it could either be a premonition or a terrible nightmare.“You haven’t told her yet?”“That’s terrible, Sheels!”
The Body Thief The Last
“I won’t back down anymore. This time it’s different—I’m different. Take me as a trainee once again.”After walking out from the training and hyperventilating in front of Kioven, Hera trailed for how many days, weighing down chances, and thinking over everything that had transpired. She had never seen a single strand of the League, for she once again locked herself inside her dorm that was now fixed to the way it was before as though she had never destroyed it in the first place.“I confess myself disappointed, Hera,” started Sheels, sipping her cup of coffee, though
