Chapter 66: Side Story: Alex Eternalsoul (10)

"I have a grievance to settle with you, Alex."

My instincts were telling me not to move an inch or I would probably die.

It was bad timing that I would have to confront an enemy after I depleted almost all of my soul energy and my weapon which was my hoverboard had been destroyed.

Even my helmet that was made out of eternium had melted.

Should I use the remaining soul energy I had to launch a sneak attack on the enemy behind me or chat with him to stall time.

I chose the former.

Just as I was about to attack the person that was behind me, a loud crash reverberated inside the room as an unknown object fell and destroy the roof of the underground room.

The dust accumulated from all of the rubble dissipated and revealed a 4-meter robot.

Wasn't that robot familiar?

Ah! I remembered now! It was Robot Y! I asked the dream house to send me my weapon set 1!

It's the right time to use it. I ran towards Robot Y and after I was 1 meter away from it, it suddenly opened its belly which revealed a suit of armor that was made out of eternium, an energy sword, and a small bottle that contained 5 blue pills that enhanced my soul energy.

The dream house had known what I had needed even though I did not ask for armor and the soulerium blue pills.

I wore the eternium armor and opened the bottle of soulerium blue pills and intake one of them. I stored the bottle in my pocket and armed myself using the energy sword.

The energy sword was almost similar to a lightsaber but more powerful and had a stronger cutting force.

Although the plasma energy used was nothing to scoff at, the power of the energy sword was worth it.

As I wielded the energy sword, I sprinted towards the person who was behind me before and slashed that person using the energy sword.

That person generated electrical currents from its fingertips and used it to catch the energy sword.

Since I was now confronting him, I took the chance to know who he was and I was shocked after knowing who that person was.

He has disheveled red hair which covered his left eye, blue eyes, average build, and a 6.2 feet height.

He was Reishi, the best friend I had abandoned just to save Erin.

I don't regret abandoning him to save Erin anyways since he still came out unscathed.

Although it was unusual that he could conjure the power of lightning on his hands, it would have been more unusual if he did not possess any supernatural powers yet survived the attack of the imposter unscathed.

I looked at Reishi and unsheathed my energy blade.

"Yo, Reishi! How have you been? What a coincidence it was to meet you at this place especially since this place was where Erin had been kidnapped!"

Reishi was silent but he signaled me using a secret hand sign that we made for secret purposes which means: Traitor, I'll message you after we escaped from this place. I feel like we are being surveillance so it is best to continue our conversation later.

I nodded towards Reishi and I went towards Erin. I carrier Erin since she was still unconscious and I walked in front of Robot Y.

"Robot Y, transform into a mini car that could fit 3 people!"

After Robot Y received my command, it transformed into a mini car which was enough for 3 people to ride at.

Reishi sat on the backseat of the mini car while I placed Erin at the seat that was beside the driver's seat and buckled the seatbelts for her so she won't fall off.

I sat on the driver's seat, buckled my seatbelts, and commanded Robot Y to initiate autopilot.

The car took off and flew into the sky. The mini car closed its roof so that it would cover the wind that was blowing our hair and face.

I waited and just sat on the driver's seat without doing anything since it was on autopilot.

********

I knew outside my dream house. I already passed by Erin and Reishi's houses so I dropped them at their house and I explained to Erin's parents about what happened and why she was currently unconscious.

Robot Y went inside the dream house and so did I.

"Welcome back home, master Alex!"

What greeted me after I entered the dream house was none other than my almost perfect A.I.

"Master Alex, there are currently 99+ new messages from 'The Great 3' group chat."

Looks like Erin and Reishi were already online and had been spamming our group chat.

I went towards my room and sat on my desk. I opened my desktop, tapped on the messages icon, and read the messages from 'The Great 3' group chat.

I replied to all of Reishi and Erin's messages and after that, I closed my desktop.

I lied on the bed, closed my eyes, and tried to sleep. My body was so tired that I felt that I could sleep for 24 hours, especially my soul.

Just as I was about to head to dreamland, the dream houses' notification startled me which snapped me out of my sleep.

"Master Alex! There is an important message!"

"How important is it?"

"Very important!"

I got up from the bed, sat on my desk, opened my desktop, and tapped on the messages icon.

"Oh! It's from the Swedish Academy and they were invited to Eternalsoul Academy for a student exchange program so they decided to award me the Nobel Prize after the program."

Time sure does flies quickly.

My parents abandoned me and after that, I endured several experiences which I cannot remember but I do know that it was horrible.

It was as if my brain wiped out that memory so that I would not be traumatized by it.

After my sufferings, I experienced a life of luxury that average people could only imagine. As they say: No pain, no gain.

I lied down on the bed and slept to my heart's content.
