Chapter 9: The Training And The Probability

  The destination to the girl’s house was rough because she lives on a mountain, far from the city about five hundred meters away from the barrier of the city. The walk took around thirty minutes since we were in the center of the city. So, the real distance was three kilometers.

  When I saw her house, I admired it. The house was built just like other houses but the construction design was evolving around nature, it gives a sense of pleasantness. Although it seems tiring to use all that energy to climb up here. Because I wanted to know about my story so I did all that.

  “We’ve reached my house. Come.”

  “…”

  The decorations are somewhat similar to a normal house from [__]. Electricity and a fancy look of each element added up to make it a house, a living room, a bedroom, bathrooms and other things. Overall, every house is the same, except there are no buildings.

  “Take a seat, I’ll go make some tea.”

  “Can I watch [_]?”

  “Oh, it’s called a television, tv is a shortcut name for it.”

  “Oh so it’s called a tv.”

  They erased a lot of my memories about [_], I don’t know why they had to do that much.

  “Here’s your tea. This is the best one I got from the TeaV store, with a discount of about fifty percent.”

  “Thank you very much, I appreciate your service.”

  “You’re welcome. Let’s get to the point, what do you want to hear about first? The origin of this place or your purpose for being here?”

  I have two options to choose from. If I pick the first one then I would know more about the birth of this land. If I choose the second one, I would discover my purpose of being brought here.

  I decided to pick…

  “I would like to know about the origin of this place.”

  “Sure! The origin of this place is simple. Everyone who lives here had been chosen from the examination of the gods, the chosen people were considered to have a pure soul and good instinct. Those are named “poin”, the good inks. The gods have seen enough destruction humans caused for your place, so they decided to form planets which have the same attributes so poins can live without pollution, excruciating factors. The power of the gods is immacalculate, they have such power to create a whole planet. If you want to get back to your world, I fear you would not be able to make it unless you defeat all of them by yourself. But…would you sacrifice all of it just to get back to your cruel world?”

  …the question leaves me pending, I don’t have much information about my previous world. The words she used to describe were making me wander a bit. Was my world so bad and intolerable that the gods had to send me here?

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  If they want to fix those problems, they would have used their power to change everything, something like that to stop us from doing bad things. They all lacked a thing called “mercy”. But what if it was so dangerous that they wanted to get rid of it?

  “What about the purpose of I’m brought here?”

  “…”

  “Um, can you tell me?”

  “Yes, but…first I need to apologize to you.”

  “About what?”

  “The reason you’re brought here is undiscovered. I can’t fully get rid of all of the fog inside your head.”

  That’s ok, her power is not paired with the gods. I don’t push her to pass through her limit to read. In the end, I just need to know the origin of this place, and I know that I am one of the chosen people to get here. This place is nice, I don’t need to overthink about my old world that much.

  “Thanks for the information, I’ll head home now, the old man must have cooked a delicious meal already.”

  “Wait! I have one more thing to say or all of my time getting you here is a waste.”

  “Don’t worry, I can walk endlessly, I don’t know the reason why I’m not tired. It’s just my talent.”

  “No, it’s just a very very small part of your talent.”

  “Very very small part, you mean I have bigger potential inside?”

  When I looked at her back, her facial expression changed from nonchalant to half serious. Does it mean the information she is about to tell is crucial?

  “Yup, it was already there when you were in your old world. You have unique powers and those seem to be called ‘the beginning of everything’.”

  “What are they?”

  “You’ll know them soon after your special training with your old man.”

  “Ok.”

  “Ok is all you have to say? You don’t realize that your fate is about fighting something? I’m seeing your deep memories, and this is something I’m very interested in.”

  “Umm, fighting is not what I want to do in the first place, what do you mean that my fate is fighting something?”

  “Correct! To be more precise, your fate is undetermined but you’ll fight and have a lot of issues with your inner self to give off decisions.”

  “I think you are not just a normal mind reader, you are also very good at analyzing, aren’t you?”

  “Hmm hmm, it’s always like that. I don’t know if this time I got it right about predicting other’s fate. By the way, you have a sister.”

  “I have a sister? Where is she now?”

  “Her name is Maily, I guess the fog cannot get into this sharp chain of relationship between you and your family but you just only know your sister, you haven’t known who your father and mother are yet. Thus, I cannot tell you their name.”

  “Where is Mailey? I want to know where she is.”

  “I don’t know. If you want to know where she is, you should head to this merchant.”

  “Tell me.”

  “He can tell where everybody is by using his ability. His ability is associated with probability.”

  “You’re telling me that by implying the probability of something, he’ll know someone’s destination?”

  “I don’t really know the details. You should head to him to know more.”

  “Alright give me the address.”

  writing

  “Here you go.”

  “Thank you, I'm heading home…”

  “Remember, you’ll be required to do something with the same value of your question, so be careful.

  “Thanks for warning me.”

  ***

  I’m eating dinner with the old man. It has been three days since the conversation with the girl. I want to do something but I have to discover my powers first in order to get to the “probability” merchant. I guarantee he would need something that my power can take part in to set it off.

  “Boy, have you had a name to call yourself?”

  “I haven’t thought of it yet.”

  “Hmmm, you’ll be Paul, is it ok?”

  “I think it’s good, having a name to be called is good whatsoever.”

  “One more thing, you and I will start to do this.”

  “What is it?”

  “Training…to unlock your inner powers.”
