GARRR!
A large crackling thunder appeared in the night sky. The purple hue it gave lighted up the dark.
GARRRR!
Thunder thrashed once again. This time, it wasn’t from the sky. It came from a man with long hair who was standing on top of a cliff.
The man lowered his hand. He took a deep breath before raising both of his hands in front of him and put his left foot forward—as if preparing a stance. Jai could see the man raising his right hand upward, while his left hand stayed in front of him. His stance was almost similar to the alphabet letter K.
Small sparks started gathering on the man’s left hand, andafter a few breaths, Jai saw the man punched his right fist forward and thick thunder shot out of his outstretched fist.
The thunder was bright purple, and it shone very bright that Jai had to blink his eyes a few times before finally giving up and closed h

When Jai reached downstairs, he thanked the gods that it was Barun. He wasted no time telling the old man what happened on his absence.“Miria passed out, she’s in her room.”Barun’s eyes widened and he immediately sprung to the stairs, Jai followed after him.The old man went inside the room, ignoring the kitten beside his granddaughter, and checked her conditions. He sighed.“What do I do...” he whispered.“What is it? What’s wrong with her?” Jai was standing beside Barun, by Miria’s feet.Barun pulled the blanket over Miria’s body before looking at him. “Let’s talk downstairs.”Jai nodded and followed him.They went to the kitchen and sat by the dining table, across from each other. Barun sat still with his for a few minutes. His fi
The Last Thunder 011 - Meeting Darrion
“Didn’t you say it’s a big competition where many people from the continent gather to fight?” Jai asked while walking. The sun shone on him from the right.“Yes. What about it, child?” Barun responded on his right.“It’s not that I’m complaining, but... Wouldn’t the registration be closed nearing the day its held?”“Oh this one is not.” It wasn’t Barun who answered.Jai turned to look on Barun’s right. It was the young man he met at the village gate. He was pulling a cart of vegetables and drums of milk to exchange at the kingdom.“The new minister is implementing a new recruitment system for soldiers. The king hoped it would encourage relationships between kingdoms,” Wen explained.Jai ‘ooh’-ed and kept on walking. “But they are being very
The Last Thunder 012 - The Opening Ceremony
Darrion thanked the old lady for the jellyroll and returned to Jai’s side. Both of them waved at the kind lady before continuing their walking.“That lady is very kind.” Jai said while gesturing the milk bread in his hand.Darrion nodded at his new friend then munched on his jellyroll. “She abually beefed beer nga hong anvil who wuzgo.”“Sorry Darrion, I don’t speak the language of the wind.” Jai bit his own bread and chewed.Darrion swallowed before repeating, “She actually lived near my home until two years ago.”Jai swallowed and hummed in satisfaction. “This bread is sweet and good. I guess moving here doesn’t have any effect on her baking skills?”Darrion smiled smugly, “Of course not, Mama Kali’s sweets are always good. Even when her son married and they need someo
The Last Thunder 013 - Start
“Let me point out to you the routes first. Look at the sheets above your heads, folks!” The MC said.Three big screens suddenly appeared in three directions. One of the screens appeared just a few feet from Jai and Darrion, and it was very clear. It was probably another control of the element Jai didn’t understand, but Jai didn’t care. Jai felt as if he was watching a presentation through a projector, and he was quite impressed with it.The screen was showing a map. A little bit to the right from the left edge of the map was a rectangle and there was a big smudge or something on the right part of the map. Jai guessed that rectangle was Aeronvein Kingdom, the place where he was right now. But he had no idea for the smudge-like picture.

The situation became very tense, and as soon as the whistle was blown, some commotion already took place. The participants were battling one another immediately for the tokens.“Darrion, run!” Jai yelled before running to the direction of the South Gate.Darrion immediately ran too and caught up beside him.“Do we really need to steal the tokens?” Jai asked while running, he subsequently checked behind him.“The MC did say three tokens AND three things, so yes, I think we need to get others’ tokens.” Darrion answered.“Damn,” Jai cursed. He turned his head to the front and something caught in his eyes.
The Last Thunder 015 – The 1st Round: Yellow Strands
Jai and Darrion went past the South Gate and instantly met a beautiful sea of colorful flowers.Jai widened his eyes and exclaimed loudly his fascination, “Dear God! This is the flower meadow?!”He had never been to a flower field, so he was starstruck. Even in the Before, he could only watch it live in a weather report.Darrion laughed, “I would be happy to hear you say “It’s amazing!” again... But we have a race to win, Jai, so save the excitement till later.”Jai shook his head in disbelief. But the wide smile was still on his face as he and Darrion walked on the wide pathway in the middle of the flower field. ‘Oh this place will be a good background image. I wish I still had my phone with me.’“Hey, the others are looking at their tokens. Let’s check ours.” Darrion said, waking Jai from his thoughts.Jai glanced at the people on the meadows. There were already lots of people her
The Last Thunder 016 - The 1st Round: Lake Windmill
Bernie climbed on the stairs with his spear in hand. He had just finished his lunch and he was returning to his post at the big windmill. The big windmill was… Well… Big. It stood 60 feet tall with each of its propellers 10 feet long, facing the lake. The inside was quite spacious like a small house, with stairs leading to the top. Bernie was climbing these stairs to get to his post on the top of the windmill.Cool wind blew him quite hard when he reached the top. But it is the usual greeting every soldier stationed at the windmill get. It signified peace.“Bernie! You didn’t bring any food out here?” his partner said.“Your shift is over, Karl. Go down and eat your fill,” Bernie said.Karl whined playfully, “But I still wanna watch over the lady~”Bernie scoffed, “It’s a body of water, Karl. Go eat.”
The Last Thunder 017 – The 1st Round: Third Route (1)
They ran past the last windmill and kept on running. There were also participants running far in front of them and behind them. The lake was still visible but very far in their southeast, and the twinkle in its surface intrigued Jai to come to it and have a sip.He had really underestimated his physique and stamina. He admitted he was quite surprised when the first round was a race. Just a tiny bit surprised. But he tried not to think about it. He was confident he could do it because he usually jogs.However, morning jogs of a regular man and an athlete are already different. His morning jog might be a walk in the park for athletes… The point is, there’s a huge gap. That was why he thought the distance was very, very far. It surprised him by a lot. It was like running from Brooklyn to Manhattan but he had to swim to the Liberty and glide over to New Jersey first. He had never done all of that, but he was plain tired that he couldn’t help but exagger
