As I lay on the floor of a soccer pitch, my breaths forceful and heavy
“Jesus Fucking Christ” I say to myself…
My stats had fucking skyrocketed from how much I was pushing myself in this one match
My STR increased by three from me running around a field for so long with weights on my wrists and ankles
My DEX by three from copying some of the tricks that Bachira and Nagi did this match
My INT and WIS got raised because of the tactics that Uncle Yoichi was drilling into me
And my VIT had levelled up by one when I accidentally faceplanted after tripping on the ball
“You good there?” I looked up at my Uncle's figure, to see not a single drop of sweat on his body, and that same goofy smile on his face
“Yeah, I'm fine…”
“It's getting late you know, we should probably head back, tomorrow is a school day” I say, looking down at my phone screen, seeing that it was now 7:00, and getting dark fast
“Yeah, you're right, let's go” He says as he begins to walk to our house
Nagi and Bachira follow him from behind. Nagi was now playing on his phone again, and Bachira was watching over his shoulder, again
Is that the only thing they do?
“Hey Jin?” I hear Uncle Yoichi in front of me
“Yeah?”
“When you play football… what do you think about?”
“Hm? Not much really… I guess… maybe ‘I should score goals’?” I said, and he was silent
“...Why do you score goals?”
“...Because if I do… I don't really know… I just know it's something I have to do…” he stayed silent a little longer, before speaking
“...You have no…Drive...”
Huh?
What does that mean?
Well, I know what it means but… what does he mean by that?
“Hey Luna?” It was currently a Thursday after school, and I was sat next to the Moon Goddess in a small café called Sugar Cube Corner
“What?” She said, stuffing her face with a strawberry sundae (that I payed for)
“I think it's about time you should tell me what you brought me here for…” I said as she slows down her massacre of the dessert
“...You need to decide” She said, bringing a spoonful of ice cream to her mouth
“Decide on what?” I ask her, stealing a bite from her sundae with my own spoon, as she gives me a stern stare
I should get another one for myself
“Whether or not you’re going to officially become part of the Abyss…” She takes another bite of her sweet treat “Most people are either born in the Abyss, or made by it. But you… you are a Late Blooming Innate Fighter, which means that you get to decide whether you want to continue on as a normal person… or become involved in this world”
She spoke with an odd calmness, that gave me goosebumps
“Well… to be honest, for now, I'm gonna continue being a normal person… but I would like to ask you for a favour since your here”
“And that favour is?”
“You mind teaching me some magic?” I ask with a twinkle in my eye, and my best pleading face
“Oh yeah sure. Even if your not gonna be officially involved with the abyss, just being an Innate Fighter will make you a target for some guilds… especially with an ability like yours” She says, finishing up her sundae “But if you want to know magic, you should go to Celestia”
Wait how the fuck did she finish that so fast
“Huh? Why, I saw you doing that teleportation and flying and those magic blue arrows, aren't you a mage”
“Hah, as much as I would like to be able to say I could teleport, or that I'm a mage, I can't. I'm a martial artist, it's just that Celestia, who actually is a Magician, taught me a few tricks that make my life easier. That ‘Teleportation’ was just a basic cloning spell that had been deactivated from some self-inficted damage, real Teleportation is an advanced and stupidly expensive magic”
“Well even so, those basics are still very helpful… also I don't wanna deal with new people, my social battery was absolutely decimated by my Uncle and his… eccentric friends” I say slouching back on the seat, reminiscing about Bachira and Nagi’s peculiar behaviours before I hear the door of Sugar Cube Corner ring, signaling that someone had entered…
I instinctively look back at the three figures who just walked in. They were dressed in hoodie that covered their heads and faces, as well as sweatpants that made them seem tired
I could see that they were… not human, to say the least
[Adagio Dazzle - The Sealed Siren: Lv17
[Aria Blaze - The Sealed Siren: Lv15
[Sonata Dusk - The Sealed Siren: Lv16
They were above average in level, but for the fact that they all had the same Title was a first…
“You Know them?” I hear Luna ask as I stare
“...No… Well, let's just get back to… what we're we talking about again?”
I said, before I was interrupted by a voice
A calming and melodic symphony of voices
Three of them
I looked towards it's origin, and… yes, it was the sirens…
[Skill ‘Gamers Mind’ has Levelled Up!]
[Skill ‘Gamers Mind’ has Levelled Up!]
[Skill ‘Gamers Mind’ has Levelled Up!]
[Skill ‘Gamers Mind’ has Levelled Up!]
Wow, a mental attack?
I looked over to Luna to see that… she disappeared?
She said that her cloning spell deactivated before due to self-inflicted damage, so maybe the Luna before me was a clone that got damaged by…
“The mental attack?” I say out loud, as I turn back to see rows and rows of people arguing….
Now you may be asking, “why were you talking about the Abyss out in public?”
And to tell you honestly, Gaia restricts all information that enters regular people's minds, so what I'm talking about is automatically tuned out of normal people heads
But enough about that
Finishing off the Sundae that Luna bought before she went poof, I got out of my seat, and saw a strange green mist covering the floor, that was getting funnelled towards the red ruby necklaces the trio had on
“Hey, you three!” I yell out, walking towards the Siren's
The turned their heads to me in utterly surprise, probably from the fact that I recognise their existence and am not currently exuding the green mist like all the other people here
“Uh… yes?” Adagio replied first, before she got a kick in the face
