9 Chapter 9 - Better Run! (1/2)

Only when Chris finish reading [Raging Fire]'s description did he realize that the fire disappeared and before someone could see him, he jumped through the window and started frantically running.

After running for a while, he decided to go back to his house, after opening the door, the first thing he did was taking a lighter.

Using the lighter, he tried to absorb it but the only thing that happened was him getting burned.

'Ah fuck!' Chris screamed inwardly, 'How come I could absorb the Fire in the building but not the one from the Lighter?'

Pondering for a while, he finally thought of something, 'The Fire seemed to have disappeared after I absorbed the small figurine of the girl and the Personal Skill of the Girl was Fire-Related, maybe it was some kind of Spiritual Fire? But how come this Fire interacted if it came from a Spirit?'.

Considering it was night, Chris decided to ponder about it tomorrow and directly went to sleep.

During the night, multiple memories started flooding Chris's mind, those were the memories of the 250 days.

In those 250 days, 2 Of Chris's friends mysteriously disappeared, in fact, a lot of people mysteriously disappeared on the 13th of November. Following those mysterious disappearance, strange things started appearing, people started pretending to own Special Power, strange animals also started appearing such as a 1-Meter mouse, an Eagle that could breathe fire...

Anyone claiming to have seen any strange occurrences also seemed to have disappeared, this caused a rather big conspiracy theory to appear.

Although Chris had no idea what caused those strange phenomenons to appear, he had a vague idea that they might be related to the Other World.

Waking up, Chris heard knocking at the door, after opening it, he saw 2 people dressed in black suit and wearing sunglasses, the first thought of Chris was 'Seriously, wearing Sunglasses indoors?'.

Staying expressionless, one of the 2 started speaking,

”Chris Balk, please follow us”

”And If I don't want to?”

”I believe you will...” This was an obvious threat but it seemed that they had the capacity to make him follow them so without making any story, Chris just followed them.

Leaving the building, they entered a black car, inside it, he sat on the back seat and his eyes were covered.

It took about 45 mins, for them to reach their destination after reaching it, Chris's eyes were uncovered.

Chris could then see the spacious place he was in, after taking a quick look, it seemed that this was underground.

But before he could admire the place, he was dragged to a room.

He was then left alone for a while until he heard a voice,

”Chris Balk, please state your power”

”I can use a fire attack” that was the answer Chris thought of after pondering for a while.

”Chris Balk, please show your power”
