6. The Queen of Time

  2 March 2018. . .

  *BEEP BEEP BEEP*

  Light opens his eyes and turns off the alarm on his phone.

  "6:06. . ."

  He stays lying down for a moment in his bed.

  “What an awful nightmare of that time. . .”

  Light wakes up and sits on the bed. He prays and asks God to give him the strength to go through his daily routines.

  "Amen!"

  He quickly leaves his bedroom, but he stops when he passes by his sister's room.

  "Morning sis. . ."

  He stands silently as he stares at the door to his sister's room. Then, he goes to the first floor and prepares breakfast. For breakfast, he simply eats two sandwiches. He takes a bath afterwards and prepares himself for the day. He also wears the silver earring on his left ear daily.

  "Watch over me, Luca. . ."

  Light leaves his front door and locks it. He blackens both of his legs, and he jumps up high towards the sky.

  .

  .

  .

  *BEEP BEEP*

  "Welcome!!"

  Light bows his head down and welcomes a customer.

  He is working as a cashier register as part-time in a convenience store in the city next to his. This is a famous brand convenience store, and he's wearing their infamous blue and white striped uniform, complete with the blue hat.

  Given how strong his Faith power is, he's still unable to defeat the reality of working shifts as a responsible person.

  "Is this gonna be all, sir?"

  "Yes!"

  "That will be Rp. 30,000!"

  "Ah, an exact change! Thank you, mister!!"

  *BEEP BEEP*

  "*sigh* This job is tiring because of how much I have to smile. . . My neutral face isn't happy after all."

  It's currently only 7:30 in the morning, and just now was the only customer that came.

  "Hmmm, I might as well tidy some stuff up!"

  Light leaves the cashier register to go to the storage room in the back. He tidies up some stuff and resupplies some shelves that have diminished stocks. He's been managing the stocks and tidying stuff in the storage for about half an hour. He didn't realize that there was someone on the register.

  "Excuse me? I wanna buy something!"

  "Ahh!!"

  Light immediately leaves the storage and runs quickly to the cashier.

  "Sorry for the inconvenience! Will that be all?"

  "Yes, please!"

  The customer was a girl. She is almost as tall as he is. She dresses in all black, similar to him. She wears a black short-sleeved hoodie and short black pants. He didn't see past her legs as she was standing in front of the register. She covers her head with the hoodie.

  "That will be Rp. 25.000!!"

  The girl gave Light the money, but then he saw a glimpse of her face under the shadow of the hoodie. Her face was. . . beautiful to his standard. His heart skips a beat.

  She has black long hair under the hoodie and a pair of beautiful, clear blue ocean eyes. Her hair looks so smooth and silky. In all of his years in school, Light hasn't seen a girl who made him feel like this just from the way she looks alone. He was captivated by her pretty face.

  The girl suddenly grabbed the item she had purchased and immediately left. He was startled when she suddenly left.

  "(I kinda wanna see that girl again. . .)"

  And then Light regained his focus, and when he was about to put the money in the register, he realized that the money was fake; it was toy money.

  "GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! SHE MAY HAS A PRETTY FACE BUT HOW COULD SHE SCREW OVER AN HONEST WORKING PERSON THAT I AM?"

  Light wanted to chase after the girl, but then he backed down of his own accord.

  "*sigh* It's only Rp. 25.000, I'll just put my own money to cover this purchase!"

  *BEEP BEEP*

  "Ah! Welcome!"

  .

  .

  .

  At noon, Light's shift is over. He's only working for half a day. The store manager and several other workers come at this hour to work their shift.

  "Ah, Lunehart-san! Thank you, as always, for covering for us for the morning shift!"

  "It's okay, Manager-san! This works best for me, too!"

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  "Here I bought you lunch! It's a healthy one, don't worry! I know you've been eating a lot of cup noodles as of late!"

  "Ah! T-Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

  "Alright, you can go, Lunehart-san! We'll take care of the rest!"

  "Appreciate it! Then I'll take my leave, Manager-san!"

  Light leaves his shift after he changes back into his casual clothing. He leaves with the lunch and a smile on his face.

  .

  .

  Jakarta, Indonesia, 21:00. . .

  "Another day of productive day! I've saved about 15 criminals today from their own doom!"

  Light is currently sitting on the rooftop of a ten-story building. He is eating instant cup noodles yet again.

  *Sluuurp*

  "Mmmmhhh!!!"

  He enjoys his food as he also enjoys the views of the city with so many lights coming from the buildings, as well as cars' headlights on the highway below. Not to mention the clear, dark sky with so many stars and a half-moon shining above.

  *Sluurrp*

  *gulp gulp gulp*

  "Aaaahhh!!"

  Light finishes his dinner and drinks bottled water to cleanse his palate. He transformed his hand black, and then he absorbed the cup, the plastic fork, and the plastic bottle, and they all vanished into his blackened hand.

  "I guess it's time to end the day!"

  *!!!*

  Light stood up and was ready to head home, but then he suddenly felt a lust coming from somewhere in the city.

  "Last one for the day!"

  On top of his Lust vision, as a Judge, he can also sense Lust. But his Lust sensor doesn't tell him from which direction the Lust is coming. That's when his vision comes into play. His Lust sensor has a range of 5km in a radius, but his vision only has a 3km radius of where the Lust starts becoming visible to him.

  Light uses his Lust vision and is surprised that the Lust was simply coming from the building on the other side of the highway. That building was a bit taller as it was fifteen stories high.

  "That's a hotel, but of course!"

  He wastes no time and immediately flies to the rooftop of the building. Once he landed, he walked down the stairs and followed the trails of Lust. He also blackened both of his feet, and they absorbed any sound that he made, making him walk silently. He keeps going down until he reaches the 10th floor.

  He stops at the door that says 'Room 496'. He transforms his right hand, touches the doorknob, and absorbs it into his hand entirely. He easily opens the door without making any noise. There was a very short hallway and a door that led to the bathroom on the left. He keeps walking, and then he sees a window door with a balcony on the outside. On the other side of the balcony, there was a bed, and there were two people currently on it.

  "Just give yourself up to me! Or I'll hurt you!!"

  "Noooo!!! Please let me go!!"

  There was a fat middle-aged man on top of a girl who looked to be in her 20s. They were both covered by a blanket, and they were naked underneath. Light walks silently behind them before he introduces himself. They were so occupied with each other that they never noticed him in the room.

  "We're both ready anyway! So why don't we----!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

  All of a sudden, the man magically floats away from the bed, naked, and the back of his neck lands right on Light's blackened right palm.

  "Forcing yourselves on someone, huh?"

  "W-WHAT? WHO ARE YOU?"

  Light ignores the man, and he looks towards the woman.

  "Miss, wear your clothes and leave! I'll take care of this asshole!"

  "O-Okay!"

  The woman hastily puts on her clothes, and then she bows her head on the bed.

  "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!!"

  "It's okay, miss! Go! And be careful on your way home!"

  The woman immediately runs away and leaves the room safely.

  "Now then. . ."

  "AAAKKHH!!"

  Light throws the man towards the wall, and then the man falls towards the bed on his back.

  "So, what were you doing to that woman exactly?"

  "Urgh!! Why do you care? I was paying her money so she could survive this month financially if she agreed to sleep with me!"

  "Sounds like she never agreed! Are you making this up?"

  The man slowly rolls over to sit on the bed and covers himself with the blanket.

  "ENOUGH!! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU BRAT? DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE WRONG PERSON!!"

  "Really? Do you know who I am instead?"

  Light looks towards the man, and he blackens half of his face to instill fear in the man.

  "HIIIEEEEE!! WHAT ARE YOUUUUU??!"

  *BANG*

  But then, all of a sudden, he pulls out a gun from under the blanket and shoots Light right in his face. Turns out he's been scrounging his clothing from under the bed to take the gun.

  ". . ."

  Light remains unfazed. The bullet that went into his head disappeared and vanished.

  "WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?? BUT I SHOT YOUR HEAD!!! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?"

  "It seems like you wanna play rough!!"

  Light lowers his tone, and he shows clear signs of anger. This scares the man a lot.

  "NOOOO!! WAIT!! PLEASE LET ME GOOO!! I’M SORRY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TOOOO!!! PLEASE SPARE MEEEE!!!!"

  Light slowly walked towards the bed silently as he kept staring at the man with a murderous glare.

  "NOOOOOO!!! PLEASEEEE!!!! W-WAITTTT!! HEY!! WAIIIITTT!! THERE'S SOMEONE ON THE BALCONY!!! BEHIND YOUUU!!! LOOOKKK!!"

  "As if such a trick would----!!"

  Usually, Light isn't the type of person who would fall for such a silly trickery; however, this time, he does indeed feel the presence of a human being behind him, more accurately, he feels a stare on his back. He turns his head around as he slowly undoes the transformation on his face.

  *!!!*

  He saw a familiar face. He saw the same girl that he met this morning. This time, she let down her hoodie, and Light clearly saw the girl's entire appearance for the first time in full. He also noticed the beautiful, silky-smooth, long black hair in its full length. Her hair reaches her lower back.

  One thing that he immediately noticed was that although her eyes looked pretty, they also looked lifeless.

  She was a beautiful girl who looked the same age as him. She has a pair of pretty, ocean blue eyes. Long, black, and silky-smooth hair that reaches her back. She is wearing a black short-sleeved hoodie with a pair of black short pants, a pair of white socks, and a pair of black running shoes.

  "You're. . ."

  ". . . ."

  *!!!*

  Before Light even blinks his eyes, the girl disappears from his sight.

  "HIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

  Light quickly turns around towards the source of the screech. He saw the middle-aged man screaming his lungs out, and the girl from the balcony was suddenly standing in front of him on the bed, holding a sword that looked like the hand of a clock made out of light in light blue color. The girl points the sharp tip of her "blade" towards the middle-aged man's neck.

  "Die."

  And with such a flat and emotionless tone, the girl declares her final goodbye to the middle-aged man after just a few seconds being in the scene.

  *!!!*

  When the girl moves her hand to stab the man, she suddenly flies backwards away from the bed, and the back of her neck lands directly on Light's blackened hand.

  "Now, hold on, you! I don't know who you even are! But, I'm clearly the one who has business with him first!! Don't interfere!!"

  "Tch! WHO ARE YOU? LET GO OF MEEE!!"

  "Like I said, I was here first! You're the one interrupting!!"

  *!*

  Without replying any further, the girl swings her sword backhandedly towards Light's neck.

  *BAM*

  "AAAAAAKKKHHHH!!!"

  Light foils the girl's plan by smashing her entire body down onto the floor instead. Her blue sword also vanishes on impact from her hand.

  "You were aiming at my neck so easily and effortlessly. Seems like you have experience in murder! I see no hesitation or struggle when you were about to kill either! You've done this a lot?"

  "Heh! A lot is an understatement!!"

  "Who are you? Where did you come from? What business do you have with that guy on the bed?"

  ". . . ."

  "Answer me!!"

  *!!!*

  All of a sudden, there's a bunch of her blue swords appearing above Light's head. Each of those swords falls at high speed, making them impossible to dodge normally at that range. But Light has a few tricks up his sleeve. He absorbs space with his blackened hands, the space around him warped so much, and then when he lets go, it launches Light away from his spot.

  Light reappears outside the balcony and barely dodges all of the girl's rain of blue swords. This is Light's teleportation technique by manipulating space around him, although it feels more like a slingshot maneuver, according to him.

  *!!*

  When Light looks towards the room inside, the girl is already in another position to kill the man in the bed. Light points his blackened palm forward towards the girl inside. The girl grazed the man’s neck, but then she was pulled magically again towards Light's blackened palm.

  "TCH!! WHAT IS THIS?!"

  The girl floats and breaks through the window, and her neck lands yet again on Light's palm. He immediately jumps out of the balcony, dragging the girl along with him.

  "LET GO OF ME!!"

  The girl swings her sword with its tip aimed towards the back of his head.

  *SHATTER*
