Chapter 4: Chapter 0.04 | Arrival At Udon: Turn Then Turn

Kiing held a sword. It had two blades. One was shorter, thicker and didn't really seem to be of any use. The other one was long and sharp. This sword was made of unknown to Kiing materials.

 

"Kukuku, a little too late to run now!" Kiing said that as he slashes soldiers, which run, while flying.

The annoying guy who had this weird armor! "Your turn!" Kiing was spinning his sword, then stopped moving. Between the two blades, there was something like a little hole, or something. He aimed with it, as if the sword was a gun too.

From the little hole, lightning appeared, hitting him, pulverising his head! Kiing laughed with joy.

 

Alas, it was a dream.

A familiar feeling suddenly hit him. He was high in the sky and was falling down quickly. Suddenly the force which gravity put on him weakened and he landed safely.
"Ugh!? What's this place?" Kiing recalls that he was in somebody's house, but a bedroom shouldn't look like a forest...
Unless! Another dream! All those events, they were all a dream? Kiing was gaining lucidity.

- One, two, three, four ... ... five.
Usually, in dreams, your fingers would be less than five. Or more. It seems like Kiing was aware of this.
"Not a dream, I can't really believe it." Hmm. This place doesn't really look like ChanPaKan.
Zene might have done this on purpose. His abilities are awesome, I wouldn't be surprised, but then, everything he went through also...

This place actually looks much more like Geloh. Kiing suddenly remembers all those illustrations Nanvi showed him.
"Geloh, that's actually where I preferred to land."
Honestly, where Kiing wanted to be teleported to didn't matter. At least compared to the matter if he's naked or not!
Phew... I am not.-

Kiing suddenly started to catch noises with his ear. It was a carriage.

"Heh, I guess that dreams are useful for some thing."
He covered himself in cloth he made. This time, it emitted some kind of air. It isn't nice at all.

He jumped very high and noticed a road made out of rocks. He landed right there, he bent down and touched the ground. He jumped away again. His jumps were extremely strong, and it made rocks fling away.

He landed quite far away from the road, on a tiny hill. Suddenly, he lifted his hand to the air and together with it, a gigantic wall made out of some kind of purple... meat maybe, appeared out of the ground. He made it to block the road supply lines. How horrible of him.

Kiing jumped again, then started to fly. It seems as if it's actually like a very, very transparent cloud carrying him, but he still made a pose as if he was flying like a superhero.
He was headed towards a castle in the distance. It was none other than Capital. The capital of Geloh. 

It was big. Something else is also big though. My question, that is.
He was cautious in order to be unknown, yet this time, he is going berserk.

Still, he was closing in on the castle very quick! He made his arm gigantic, somehow. He was now on the heart of the megapolis. He already has quite the audience... He'd sense winds. See flames, lightning... going straight at him! He exhaled. Kiing exhaled some kind of sinister air... it just didn't feel right being near it at all. All attacks were nullified, it seems.

"Kuku, I should've done this from the start!" Kiing gathered strength, and with lightning... wait no. It's actually kinda slow, not. I think. I guess it's slow, but no, it must be fast. Uhh.. yeah. With.. some speed, he was about to hit the huge castle from the top. Wait! Some yellow haired boy became gigantic! His eyes followed the colors of his hair! I mean, his hair didn't have just one exact color. No, this must be a dream too then? I hope so...
Anyway, what should that mean? That boy stopped Kiing's attack, his arm shattered just like when he hit Divyansh, but it didn't really hurt. Rather than feeling pain, Kiing felt like he made a mistake and was sorry. But he wasn't. But he was. But... ah, well, why would he feel confused now?

"What you're doing isn't cool, Kiing Keen!" The boy knows his name!
"Kiing Keen? A king can what?" Is what Kiing said as he was falling down. What this boy said really confused Kiing.
He landed swiftly. Still, by the time he looked back up, that boy was already gone? Wait, no, he actually turned to normal. Normal size that is...

"Agh, you're not bad." Kiing even started sweating. Just a bit!
"You are though!" I think that the boy didn't reflect properly.
- I guess that he'll be the only one to give me a fight.

"I am Hoyloi." Kiing couldn't really take him seriously.
"I am Kiing. It really is nice to meet you!" Hoyloi didn't look impressed.
"Look, what you're doing is bad. Here, let me show you." The kid showed a book.
"Hmph, giving me such a chance to defeat you, I'm your enemy!" He said that as he tried to slice Hoyloi into two parts.

That... Oh, it didn't work.
"Strong like you have to be good like in this book about the hero..." He started rambling... That... is awkward.

Imagine having godlike powers, then a kid with... no specific hair color comes up to you and tells you to be a hero, while being traumatised, having the urge to be a terrible villain, all while he blocks all your attacks which makes you question yourself just by that.
Kiing felt like this before too.

"Wait, is nobody going to come here?" Seems like something slipped out of his mouth from deep within.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING!?!" Oh, wow, he started shouting. Kiing did have a point though!

Hoyloi made a sigh. It sounded genuine.
"We can talk later, and when we do, I'll make sure to teach you a lesson!" Woah. A kid really just said that..!
Kiing did feel like saying yes sir... I guess that he was caught off guard. Haha.

He started feeling a different kind of comfort now. 
"Ugh, where am I?" Kiing said in a tone, with which you can tell that he was sleepy.
Kiing wouldn't expect anybody to say "You're in my house." and no one did.
Kiing didn't see anybody around him. It was a small room after all. He saw a wooden desk and thought Why isn't there a chair?-

He finally stood up after rethinking his life choices for several moments.
-This bedroom doesn't look like a forest. Eh?
Kiing was about to open the door, leading to...
"Eh? Ah, uh." Kiing just created an awkward situation, while being alone. Just himself.
He was worried if somebody heard him.
The door opens...

"Good morning, Kiing. Breakfast is ready." Is what a guy, with quite the long brown hair, glasses and clean clothes, just said. Yeah right, Kija!

"Hello, Kija." Kiing managed to recall who that was. Without slicing them. Yay..
"I've prepared a few fruits for you. Here."
Bananas! Kiing loves bananas! And there are too!
"Yeah, thanks." Kiing sat down, while staring at the bananas.
He... heh, anyway.

"So... Why are you doing this?" Kiing said it in a tone, which isn't any positive.
"I was inspired by you." From what?!
"What did I do to inspire you to turn against the world?"
"You made that guy from before, a known commander die." Huh... that's strange. A commander can't compare to a ketod. Ketods are like a tank, and a commander like a toddler.

...
"Hmph. I see. Very well then." Eh? That response was suspicious, yet Kiing accepted it. I expected him to actually pull a sword and slice him right then and there in the very moment Kija finished his sentence.
"Thank you." Kija made a bow.
No way..

"For how long can you cover me?"
"I don't know. I'll forever do my best." I really just don't know what to say. This was an unexpected turn.
"Alright. First: I did not kill him. He disappeared without a trace. Second: If you'll be under me, then be aware that I won't refuse the idea to sacrifice you." That's quite the demand.
"Of course. But, what do you mean that he disappeared without a trace?" That's a question which hints that Kija might know something.

Kiing took a moment to remember the details.
"I... I grabbed him and threw him with quite some power to the cliff face. After that, he disappeared. That's really it."
"Hmm, what power did he wield? Earth?"
"No. It'd be quite obvious if it was earth, but it's actually fire"
"Aha! So that's what it was. That's a technique originating from Geloh. It allows you to make a clone out of fire. You'll be able to turn that fire into text near you, so you're basically controlling a person from a distance. It requires great mastery, and I've never heard of somebody who's capable to send the clone throughout the continent and still have proper text. The letters would usually turn into scrape-like shapes."

-For such a technique to exist... Kiing was impressed.
"However, I fear that if I am right, it won't be so good for us. It'd mean that somebody who has such skills has their eyes on you." Kiing nodded. He finished his last fruit.

"Oh!" Kiing accidentally leaked out a noise.
"Ahem, I'll go into my room. I need to think about something. Call me if needed." He recalled some of his dream. He felt strange. He felt like his stomach's being lifted.

Kiing took a candle with him before entering his room.
- This dream... Hm.. "Hoi..." Kiing seems to try to get his hands on something. In his mind that is. "Hoiloi, Hoyloi." He tried to say the name of somebody, while lighting the candle.
"Yeah, Hoyloi. What a nice guy he was." Kiing seems to be in deep thoughts. Let's leave him alone, ok? Now, where were we before?

Hm...

•Hano•

Gren was going upstairs to his room! Yeah. Our friend, Gren. He had a date, or something.
"This room isn't bad." It had one bed, a desk, with a chair, and a shelf with books. The walls were painted in green. It's one of Gren's favorite colors. Nothing special. Perhaps some of the books would be, but anyway.

Gren sat on the bed, then looked at the ceiling. He made one deep sigh. It was a satisfying one.
He was in deep thought too... Still, let's continue.
"Alright..." He said something to himself
He got out of the room.
Went downstairs, took the little map and said good night to his mates.

The wind was chilly. It was a nice temperature.
Gren was just staring at it. He used his finger as a small source of light. If he isn't careful, he could burn somebody, or something. Especially if he did exactly what he did. I mean, by walking ahead while staring at the map. Thanks to the fact that it's very late, there aren't people. One or two in several meters maybe.
"Kantos Guild Restaurant.. interesting." So that's where he's going to? A restaurant owned by the lead guild in Menish? Kanto is the capital of Menish. It's a pretty big city. Naturally. Its temperature in the day is just about the same as the one in Hano right now.

(Hi guys as of writing this, the novel just hit 200 views wohoo(scribble hub)(also it's not posted anywhere else yet))

Seems like Gren reached it now. It was a pretty wide building.
He was just about to enter, but somebody interrupted him.
"Heey! Where do you think you're going without me?"
"Oh, it's you. What's your name again? I'm Gren."
"Didn't I tell you?" "No..."
"I did! You just forgot! I won't tell you then."
How childish...- is what Gren thought
"Come on, we'll discuss it on the table."
The woman followed Gren as he entered.

"Welcome! Hello dear customers what would you like?"
"A table for two."
"Over there we have one which is free, see?"
"Yeah."

That woman... why doesn't she just tell us her name already... anyway, she doesn't seem like she's in a hurry at all. Gren finds that annoying.
He was resisting the urge to shout "Come on bitch" at her. Thankfully, the urge was not only NOT strong, but also it was a public place.
Gren doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Does he perhaps dislike staying up late?

They both finally sat down.
"Here's the menu. I'll come back later, or call me when you're ready, ok? Later!"
As the waitress was hurrying away, Gren looked at... her, I think. Or the floor.
"Get to the point now." Gren didn't really look happy. Could he perhaps be... or no. Yeah, that might not be the case. Developing such skill means one thing for certain.
"I know that you don't work for the Kanto guild, but I need you to do me this favor. Before we talk, I'll need to have you know where you're gonna do the job, alright?"
"Yeah, so? Where? Don't tell me it's Menish."
"Mhm! It's there. No worries, I'll make sure to pay all the transport and food, and even more!"
"Sure, I'll consider it, so, what's the job?"

An awkward silence...

"I'll need you to assassinate this guy." She showed an illustration. So that's what was in that strangely shaped bag.
"Eh? This guy... Is he perhaps.. no I'm joking, I have no idea who he is." I guess that he at least has the mood for jokes.
"Yeah, he was once participant in a small conflict between Geloh and Menish, about 20 years ago. I think that he did a nasty thing back then. It was quite recently that I found out about it."
Gren was completely caught by her.
"What could he have done?" He asked with quite the genuine curiosity.
"Let's just say that he did something together with LeiLei ♥" She made a weird expression.
"LeiLei? Hm, do you mean the current leader of Geloh? I heard that she now is sick. Well, anyway, I accept the job, give me the chesh." Gren said as he stands up.
The woman smiled.

Seems like Gren will go to Menish.

He will go to Menish... in the next chapter! Maybe.
