Life didn't get easier, even in another world-Chapter 399 boo

399 boo

"So... What happened to the artifacts?"

Even though it'd been a few hours since Kairen woke up and had a conversation with his brother, Aaron still kept peeking at and examining him from time to time.

"They returned back to normal once you lost connection."

"I don't think they'll ever let me go close to them again..."

Kairen chuckled helplessly.

"Even if they do, I won't!"

"... That's mean."

Kairen had to find a way to persuade the commander and his brother again. 'What can I do now? Should I just idly sit and wait for SMF to finish the preparation? But well, there is really nothing else to do.'

The war was long over, Philomns was destroyed, Samuel hasn't shown up yet, and everything was calm. Things were actually so peaceful that Kairen sometimes doubted if it was real.

'Will things go well, I wonder.'

To fend off Samuel, who would probably show up after Kairen activated the device, the military, and SMF's forces wouldn't be enough. They needed someone's help to resist and that someone was Roy.

'Come to think of it, why does he call himself Reynold? Aren't I Reynold? Man, he's a real weirdo.'

And was there really a need to try to hide Kairen's past life so much? It was true that those memories weren't pleasant, but they weren't something that Kairen couldn't take! "You are like that again..."

"Huh?"

Poke poke Aaron poked Kairen's forehead. "Don't make such a face! Stop thinking about whatever's making you feel down!"

"Ah! I don't feel down-"

"What do you want, hmm? Should we go back home? You seem fine so it must be alright to discharge from the hospital."

"Wha- but weren't you the one who insisted-"

"Or do you want something to eat? I can buy you whatever you want. Ah, should I call your friends to come visit you?"

"Hey, Ron, calm down! I'm fine now." Kairen messaged his forehead as he waved his hands.

Aaron must've been quite shocked seeing Kairen's sudden change in behavior and mood. Kairen knew that his brother was probably reminded of the past when Kairen was in a bad condition after their parent's death. He must've gotten nervous, wary that Kairen might return to those days. Well, Kairen would've gotten nervous too if he was in Aaron's shoes. Those days weren't really a good time for either of them. However, the situation now wasn't a little bit similar to back then. "Why are you always worried? Chill a little bit!" Kairen beamed and leaned closer to Aaron, "Though I'd be glad if you actually allowed me to leave this place and go h-"

Go home, was what he wanted to say, but his words stuck in his throat, unable to come out. Thumb Thumb Thumb

His heart raced and his breath came short. Cold sweat drenched his back in an instant and the hairs all over his body stood on their end. "Uh...?"

An indescribable fear caused his body to shake uncontrollably. It was as if he was targetted by a while beast, about to be devoured at any second. Aaron must've called for him, but Kairen couldn't hear it. The only thing he heard was a noise that didn't exist until a few seconds ago. Oooooooonnnnngggggg

It was a distant, low, and familiar noise. "Uh..."

Kairen grabbed and pulled on his shirt, jumped down from the bed, staggered to the window, and pushed it open. Through the frame, he glanced at the evening sky. "...Why..."

Why was this happening? His dilated pupils were locked on one spot in the sky, at a dot too small for people to pay any attention to. The dot had such a strong aura to itself that it was making Kairen's body tremble. And it wasn't just one dot. ONNNNNNNGGGGGG

As a loud voice was heard throughout the area, the whole building began to shake. Aaron, who had come to Kairen's side, prevented his fall by grabbing his body, but his eyes too were glued to a spot in the air without moving. ONNNNGGG OOONGGGG

A dark purple aura was swirling about the dot, spearing around like ink in the water. A halo, the same as the ink-like aura, shot out from the dot as if increasing its size. The whole thing rotated towards its center as if a hand was spinning it, and increased in size like a drop of blood in white clothing. "No..."

Aaron gasped, his body trembling. "Why this..." Now, in the sky, not a few small dots, but a bunch of huge swirling purple and red objects.

"...Gates..."

Gates, the same ones that Kairen had seen in his homeland, had appeared in this world's skies.

Kieeee Grooowwlll Kieee keiiiie And as if that wasn't enough, various monster roars came out of the purple gates, like a sign of the thing that was about to happen in a few seconds. Kairen knew what was about to happen now, he'd heard about it from Daniel back on Earth. 'Monsters, huge waves of them would rush out of the gates and attack everything on their way. The cities will be destroyed, the people will die, the world will fall into chaos...'

Kairen knew fully well what it meant for such gates to appear, but just why?

'Is it... because of me?'

His power was told to attract similar power to him. He'd attracted a huge ass dragon to Earth only by staying there for a few days, so was it possible that these gates also-

"Ariyan..." Kairen heard Aaron's husky voice, "Claire is in the headquarters so she must be fine but Ariyan-"

Looking at his brother's face, it was the first time Kairen was seeing him have such an expression, an expression as if he was seeing the most horrible thing in his life as if he was scared to death by just the sight of the gate. His eyes, however, were no longer focused on the gates but on something else, something that wasn't there or didn't exists, as if watching a scene that hadn't happened yet, or had long become a distant memory for him. Kairen didn't need to think much to understand what his brother was going through, but he didn't attempt to call him down or say anything. Step

Instead, he took a step forward and walked towards the balcony. He slammed the balcony's door open and stepped into it barefooted. Cold winds, which were rare at this time of the day and season, were brewing from all directions and the sky had turned considerably darker than before. Small creatures were slowly coming out form within the gates. 'Well, I can't just-'

Kairen jumped on the balcony's railing. ZAAAAPPP

A silvery gold layer of light appeared under his feet.
