Rebirth Online World

Part – I don’t even know anymore

Jorge threw an annoyed gaze toward the intruder and when he recognized his cousin Paul, he growled slightly angrily.

“I suggest that you go away right now, unless you want to end up like your brothers!”

Growled out Jorge who, to intimidate Paul further, let a faint trace of power leak outside his body. Paul couldn’t see the power like Jorge does, however instinctively he felt a sense of dread coming out of Jorge, as if he was in front of a beast.

His whole body Trembled, [How can this be?] he thought, Jorge had always been trash in front of him and his brothers, now his whole body was frozen in fear just at the mere sight of him.

Under the extreme fear, his mind snapped and he did the only thing he shouldn’t have done…

“Uwaaa!”

He screamed and with a swift movement his right hand reached behind his back and extracted a 9 mm handgun, moving it between himself and Jorge.

Seeing himself threatened with a gun rage freely flowed inside Jorge, the power around him exploded with a bang and Jorge flew toward Paul with a great speed.

Startled by The sudden movement, Paul shot by reflex, the bullet flew in a straight line towards Jorge’s chest; if he wanted, he could have easily avoided it, thanks to his mind state being still calm the time was flowing in slow motion in front of his eyes, however, if he avoided the bullet, then he would have put Flora in danger.

He extended his right hand to intercept the bullet, when the bullet was almost in his palm, fire formed a sphere right on his hand, at first it was the usual red-orange fire, but in a moment the fire changed colour a few times setting on a blue shade.

Had it been his previous self, the heat irradiated by the fire would have burned his pal, however after his rebirth something had changed inside him and he had a perfect control on the 10 centimetres in diameter flame sphere.

When the bullet reached the sphere it was swallowed like a drop of water in the ocean disappearing amidst the flames, that didn’t even make Jorge flinch as the momentum of the bullet had been countered, he simply continued forward until he was right in front of Paul.

He simply stretched his right hand forward stabbing the flame sphere in Paul’s chest, no need to tell, it wasn’t a nice show.

Paul’s eyes widened in shock when he noticed Jorge was in front of him, and didn’t even felt the flame devouring him from inside as the heat had already burned off his nerves, he had the time to feel a cold and numbing sensation extending to his body before his heart was turned to ashes.

At first, the blood in his veins had evaporated, rupturing dozens holes in his body, then it was the turn of his internal organs turning grey due lack of blood and then black before turning into ashes, same thing happened to the bones.

In a matter of seconds the extreme heat had pulverized a young and somewhat healthy young-man, if you were to see from outside, you would see red vapour escaping his body and the skin turning grey and rupturing before crumbling to the ground in ashes.

Jorge saw the last vestiges of his cousin transported away by the wind and mixing with the earth.

Jorge too in a few breath then turned around to Flora, and what he saw broke his mind state.

Flora’s Pov

I had just freed myself from my aggressor, and Jorge was walking toward me, before he could say anything a third voice interrupted him-

Paul, one of the hateful cousins, had arrived and obvious to the situation he was demanding to know what happened, I looked to Jorge and he threatened him to go away, suddenly his figure had passed from the person I loved the most to a monster.

Paul noticed the change too and took out his gun, I wanted to shout him to stop, however before I had the chance a huge boom almost pierced my ear, instinctively I closed my eyes and crotched down.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, nothing had happened, I opened my eyes and sent my gaze to where Paul was, somehow Jorge had reached him and punched his gut, however something was strange, Paul showed no reaction, then his skin started to change.

Even from a distance I could see a faint light coming from the point where Jorge had punched him, then the same faint light emerged from a web of cracks spreading on Paul’s body, like a light bulb inside a cracked vase.

Then he just crumbled in dust, I covered my hand to prevent myself from throwing up…. I…. he…. Died!

Jorge….

“what have you done….”

I muttered softly, then he turned around, his face was as calm as before, like nothing had happened at all.

I was going to be next!

Fear permeated my being and a scream escaped my lips, before I turned and ran in the trees, hoping to find safety.

Baaaaaack to Jorge

I tried to run after her, however without being in meditative state my body quickly experienced the after effects of abusing my powers.

Every muscle in my body tensed up like a violin string, I could hear a few of them snap under the heacy pressure, my meat as if in contact with fire started frizzling  with charred black spot appearing, especially on my right arm where the skin had split.

Then everything around me trembled and doubled, why do I have four arms? Am I evolving? I’m feeling something coming out!

*rueurgh*

I vomited out everything my poor stomach was holding and more, the weirdest was a black goo mixed with the remains of the dinner, the moment it touched the ground it simply got absorbed, but I may be imagining things.

Feeling a little better after throwing up I decided to run after Flora, but at the first step I made…

*Clunk*

Down to kiss mr Hard ground.

 

Some time later…..

At first, when I was found in the parking lot, they had no formal charges on me, their best theory was that a someone had placed a bomb on a car, explaining the crater in the parking and the burn marks on my cousin and me.

As if god himself was doing me a favour, my surviving cousins were in a coma and couldn’t testimony, everything looked like I could be free after killing, too bad they found out the parking lot had a hidden camera…

After that everything went to shit, one of the hidden cameras of my father had recorded the scene of me pulverizing my cousin, and tried to hide it, however in the end they still found it, and arrested my father for hiding important evidences.

He got arrested and they tried to get me while I was in hospital, too bad they hadn’t predicted how much I had recovered…. Hehe, maybe I’ll tell you next time how I escaped 2 swat teams and an helicopter while being naked.

(Maybe I’ll give you a little hint… pssstt, oxygen tanks are very useful for creating explosions and mayhem.)

Since my escape at the hospital I’ve been hunted down like an animal, day and night helicopters are looking for me, every place I had ever been was now under surveillance so I was forced to sleep on the streets like a homeless.

Well, at least at first; I think this power is affecting my reasoning, before the thought of stealing or harming innocent people  never crossed my mind, however now it isn’t a big deal anymore, if they wished to stop me they should have gotten stronger.

I’m currently in an apartment, the previous owner, a fat otaku tried to hit me with a katana when I kicked the door down and took possession of the house, too bad he was so slooooow I got angry and flattened him against a wall, I guess you could call it a favour, he is now 2D like his waifu.

I didn’t choose this place because it was strategically good or whatever, I was just tired and after a few coin flips, I arrived here, not such a bad place, ignoring the weird smell permeating the air and the creepy army of posters and figurines.

After setting down in the seemingly never used guest room, (the main room had enough sweat to compare to a locker room.), I started meditating.

So much had changed, all my spiritual roots had disappeared, which decreased my cultivating time by a lot, however in exchange I had a set of what I call spiritual veins, they appeared in my body after the little incident with my cousins.

Basically when looking at my veins from the mind perspective, I saw rivers flowing where my veins and arteries were, also, when meditating, most of the gathered energy would flow in the muscles fusing with blood, that would explain my new strength and faster energy manipulation.

After a quick 3 hours energy gathering, somebody found out the spread open door and the otaku body on the wall, 15 minutes after that person cried in shock the police arrived, just like I wanted.

I stepped out from the guest room and came face to face with the cops, the moment they saw me they raised their tiny handguns at me, I could have laughed at their faces the moment they understood who I was.

With my new insight, I could burn them like matches, however now was not the moment to play around; I kneeled to the ground in front of two scared cops and surrendered myself.

“Soooo, are you just standing there doing nothing or you will arrest me?”

The cops had been staring me for a full five minutes before I got bored, both of them were just over 20 years old, arrested by two rookies, the people at the Police station will laugh their asses off.

Maybe I forgot to tell, but the police had found me a few times before, and like someone once said, “Many came looking for me, the lucky ones didn’t find me, the unlucky never got found either.” I guess I made myself a nice reputation.

After hearing my voice one of the cops took out the handcuffs and while trembling like your mom’s toys managed to “arrest me”.

The moment they announced via radio I had been arrested I only had to wait a few moments before the place where I was got surrounded by hundreds of police officers and swat.

“aww, for me? You shouldn’t have bothered tehee.”

My giggle scared the young cops near me and they instinctively placed their guns between us, *humpf* as if they could protect them.

Triggered by my two young escorts, a hundred firearms appeared pointing straight at me, little sweat beads formed on my forehead, the sight of hundreds ready to kill you was really frightening….

*Now let’s go save daddy* I muttered while being brought to a prisoner transport.
