Day 1302

  Today, I’m being chased by someone with a big body build. It’s a muscular man, 189cm tall, and he weighs around 120kg. Just his physical strength alone is already scaring me, but his Faith power is even more terrifying. He has the power to add more mass to his already muscular body, increasing his strength and size even more than his current body is. It is a Special type.

  I met the guy eyeing me for several minutes in the local park in a city in Thailand. He was following me very masterfully, blending in with the crowd and surroundings. I was the only one who noticed that he was following me.

  I purposefully led him into a back alley in the city that is quite large, but full of houses for the poor on both sides. Currently, there is no one outside, but slight noise might make the people inside come out, quickly forming a crowd in the alleyway.

  The back alley itself is only three meters wide and spans about 38 meters in length. There’s no wall on the other side, and it just leads to another main road in the city. Seems like alleyways in this country are different than the ones I’m used to, but this works for me!

  The big man is walking towards me while I keep my nonchalant attitude, walking two meters ahead of him, pretending not to notice him. He fastens his walking pace, and he suddenly grabs me in the arms.

  “You’re coming with me!”

  *!*

  He just casually grabbed my hands like that and expected me not to react?

  This guy is so stupid. At least people of his type are so low IQ that I can easily trick them.

  I immediately tried to scream for help in fear.

  *!*

  But he quickly covered my mouth.

  “Let’s not make any commotion here! There are people inside these houses!”

  “HHRRGGHH!!”

  I tried to break free, but to no avail. The big man grabs my entire torso and lifts me up to his face to intimidate me.

  “Don’t bother, little girl! The money for delivering you will be mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

  Wow. . .

  I don’t even have to trick him. He puts his face close to mine on his own. This is a piece of cake. I activate my Faith power and stun him. I easily break free of his muscular hand quickly.

  I ran away from the alleyway and disappeared into the city.

  I survived my chaser yet for another day.

  Day 1595

  Today, I’m being chased by someone whose Faith power allows her to transform her body into a tree. I’ve met my fair share of Believers with varying Faith powers, but this one is straight up the weirdest.

  Why would you want to become a tree? I don’t understand this person one bit.

  For starters, it is very susceptible to fire, and Fire Elemental-type Faith powers are the most common. It is also weak to sharp weapons just like normal human flesh. Plus, the fact that the texture only looks beautiful on actual trees. Mixes in with human skin, and someone would look like an abomination of some sort of failed experiment.

  The girl looks to be in her 20s. She’s 167cm tall and weighs around 61kg. She is slender with beautiful, white, smooth skin. She has blond, medium-length hair that reaches her shoulders. She has a pair of beautiful green eyes, wearing pink lipstick and blue eye shadow. She wears an all-white getup, with a white long-sleeved blouse with a white tank top underneath, a white skirt that reaches above her knees, and a pair of white glossy heels.

  I was chased by her, and she cornered me into the rooftop of an abandoned three-story building.

  “Nowhere to run, now, little girl!”

  “Tch!”

  She was chasing me by simply running. She never used her power, at least until now.

  *!*

  I saw her hand transformed into tree branches, and it looked really ugly and dirty.

  YUCK!

  “HAAA!!”

  She thrusts her transformed hand forward, and her tree-hand extends rapidly towards me.

  “What?”

  The tree branches quickly coil around my torso and lock me in place, preventing escape.

  “Aaaaannnnddd! It’s over! You can’t run away from me once I capture you!”

  “HRRGGHH!!!”

  I tried to pull apart the tree branches that are coiling me. I hate how misleading it is, seeing how thin the tree branches are, yet they are so sturdy that they don’t even budge when I pull them as hard as I can. I also tried to break them, but that also doesn’t work.

  “Wow, did you really think you could break my tree branches with your tiny, little hands? Hahahahaha!! So stupid! I was wondering how the hell a small girl like you could’ve avoided pursuits from both Non-Believers and Believers combined all this time. I genuinely thought that you were super smart or something. I am glad to see that you’re stupid! This will make this job a lot easier compared to the amount of money I'll get!”

  “LET GO OF ME!!”

  “Ah, there we go! The futile attempt to make me feel guilty! Sorry, stupid girl! I am from the Underworld! Pity is not in our genes! We’ll exploit everyone, no matter the gender or age!”

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  She retracts her tree branches, and I am now being held close in midair to her.

  “(I’m gonna have to catch her by surprise!)”

  “Well then! Let’s go claim the prize!”

  The woman transformed her free hand and wanted to extend her hand towards a building on the other side of the main road. She intends to swing from building to building as a transportation method.

  *!*

  But I quickly grab her face and point it towards me. I stare into her eyes with my transformed eyes.

  “. . .”

  I stunned her, and I can feel her bindings on my body loosen up. I quickly break free of her tree branches and run all the way down to the main street and leave the building behind.

  I survived my chasers yet for another day.

  Day 1892

  It has been five years since I first left home. I am now 15 years old, walking around in a city in Japan. I think it’s called Tokyo or something. I might be wrong, but this city is beautiful. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a tree with pink colored leaves. It is so beautiful. I think it’s called a Sakura tree, or just Cherry blossom in English.

  *Sigh*

  I have. . . been getting used to but at the same time, frustrated with being chased every single day of my life. I only ever got two or three days off at max sometimes. I’m getting trickier and trickier with my deceives, but I also get so exhausted from always having to move from city to city. I can never ever stay in one city for too long, or else I’ll get caught carelessly.

  I’ve also found myself a little bit of money from stealing someone’s pocket here and there, so I just tried my first fast food restaurant in the city.

  Ah!

  It was truly magical.

  I didn’t know burgers and fries tasted so good! I love them so much! I also ordered a soft drink, and that was also fantastic! I only wish I had more money to eat more, but I have to be smart about my allowances. I can’t afford to be wasteful!

  But my peaceful morning is over.

  Today I’m being chased by a bunch of Non-Believers who worked as a group from the Underworld. There are about 10 of them, all male, possibly in their early 20s. They all looked like they were a bunch of unemployed guys who got together and decided to try this line of work since everything else in their lives fell apart.

  I was chased into an abandoned large warehouse. They cornered me into a broken-down metal door and surrounded me from a distance. All of them stand 4 meters away from me, in a half-circle formation.

  This is bad!

  If they all keep their distances, I can’t use my Faith power! Not to mention that I’m already screwed against this many people at once!

  What do I do?

  I see to my left and right, and I see an old, rusted pipe on the floor. I quickly duck down and pick it up, and I also point it at them!

  “HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!”

  All of them started laughing in mocking tones.

  “WHAT’S THAT BROKEN PIPE GOING TO DO TO US, PIPSQUEAK?”

  “OH MAN!! THIS WAS SOME GOOD LAUGH BEFORE WE ALL GOT RICH NEXT!!”

  “YAHAHAHAHA!! SUCH FUTILE ATTEMPTS!! I’VE SEEN BABIES WITH MORE THREATENING ATTEMPTS THAN THIS!!”

  Eh? They all spouted some thug one-liners so casually? Are they amateurs or something?

  . . . .

  CHANCE!

  “Khu khu khu khu khu! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!”

  *!!!*

  I started laughing hysterically as they all laughed, and they quickly stopped and focused their attentions on me.

  “True that this is just some broken pipe that I found randomly, HOWEVER! WITH MY FAITH POWER, ANYTHING I HOLD IN MY HAND CAN BECOME A DEADLY WEAPON, REGARDLESS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND CONDITION!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!”

  All of them started sweating. They see me laughing confidently, and they are scared of the possibilities.

  I am merely bluffing, but since they are all Non-Believers, it’s common knowledge that outnumbering a Believer doesn’t matter. They all will end up lying on the floor regardless.

  *THUD*

  I take a step forward by stomping my feet really hard against the ground to intimidate them. All of them instinctively take a step back behind.

  If I remember correctly, when human beings get scared, their minds will become a jumbled mess, but for only about 20 seconds at max before they start fighting back! Time to make a move now!

  *STEP STEP STEP*

  *!!!*

  “HIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!”

  I immediately started running towards the guy in the middle of the formation. I approached him and swung the rusted pipe towards his head.

  *TWUUNKKK*

  A loud metal noise reverberates through the empty warehouse, and the man falls to his back, losing consciousness. It was more the fact of the sudden impact to the head that knocked him out, rather than the strength of my swing, since they are currently feeling so scared and afraid.

  *TWANG TWANG*

  I immediately throw the pipe away and rush towards the exit of the warehouses. I went through the exit without any problem.

  “. . .”

  “Wait, guys, why did she just abandon us?”

  “Was she. . . was she BLUFFING?”

  *!!!*

  Right after someone stated the fact, they all became furious.

  “STUPID FUCKING GIRL!!”

  “LET’S GO CHASE AFTER THAT BRAT!!”

  “WE’LL BREAK HER LEGS AND HANDS!!”

  “YEAH!! THE MISSION DETAILS NEVER MENTIONED THE CONDITION OF HER BODY! ONLY THE FACT THAT SHE IS ALIVE!!”

  “YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

  All the men are now furious, and they march towards the exit in anger, leaving that one unconscious man behind. I was already 50 meters away from the warehouse, and I had almost reached the gate of the warehouse area, but then I heard their furious thumping steps, chasing after me. I look behind, and they are already outside the warehouse as well. This is bad!

  There was a giant dumpster right next to the gate to prevent the gate from being opened widely. I was standing next to it, so from my perspective, all of the men from the Underworld currently could not see me.

  *!*

  I reached the gate as I turned my head to the front and saw that the gate was locked with a padlock.

  “(WHAT? This wasn’t here when I first entered! Did they do this?)”

  . . . . .

  Wait, why are they so quiet now?

  I crawl on the ground and slightly peek over from the giant dumpster.

  I saw someone new, a man, not a part of the 10 men, minus the unconscious one, who chased me. He has spiky red long hair that reaches his back, and he is pretty tall. There is something dangerous about this man, even more so compared to anyone who has ever chased me this whole time. Who is that man?

  . . .

  They seem to be arguing, but he’s not saying anything.

  One of the men suddenly mentioned the word ‘Underworld’, and then the next thing I knew was that his head flew off his neck.

  *!*

  *THUD THUD*

  The decapitated head falls and rolls towards me and stops. Its eyes are staring at me blankly. He dies instantly.

  *!*

  I was almost startled, but I covered my mouth with both of my hands. What the heck did he just do? I didn’t see him moving an inch, and yet he just decapitated someone effortlessly. Who is this guy?

  All the other men were scared, but one of them charged in blindly, and he, too, got his head cut off.

  *THUD*

  And his lifeless body falls to the floor.

  “W-WAIT, GUYS!! I KNOW HIM!! IF I’M NOT MISTAKEN, HE’S THE SERIAL KILLER JUDGE!! THE NEW RISING STAR IN THE UNDERWORLD!!”

  *!!!*

  “H-HIM?”

  “Underworld! None of you guys is going to get out of this alive!” said the red-haired man in a deep and threatening tone.

  “R-RUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!”

  One of the men shouted and instilled fear in the rest, and they all started scattering in random directions.

  “Futile!”

  *ZRRAASSSHHH*

  I don’t know how he did it, but he just decapitated all of them without moving his body at all. Their blood spills to the ground and soaks the soil red.

  I can only see everything in silence. I also held my breath before he realized that I was here.

  I see him looking around at the result of his own doing. He doesn’t smile nor seem to be satisfied, but he seems rather annoyed by something. He scratches the back of his head, and then he simply walks towards the wall on his far right.

  *SLASH SLASH*

  *GRAHK GRAHK*

  He cuts open the wall without a second thought and walks out of it.

  It seems like I found a way out of my situation. If I can ask someone as strong as him to help me, I can make all these people who chased after me stay away from me!

  Though. . . He kinda scares me. . . What if he also killed me the moment I got close to him?

  . . . . . .

  AH! SCREW IT!!

  THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FINALLY BE FREED FROM BEING CHASED ALL OVER THE WORLD!

  I AM SO TIRED OF THIS, AND I’D RATHER RISK MY LIFE APPROACHING HIM!!

  YAHOOOOOO!!!

  MY STUPID LIFE OF BEING CHASED BY WEIRDOS IS GOING TO END SOON!!

  I celebrated silently by punching the air with a wide smile on my face. I swiftly and stealthily follow after him starting today.
