6 An Unlucky Day For A Walk (1/2)

Unfortunately Darius had no place to stay, and no money either, so his first priority right now was to find a nice, secluded place where no one wold bother him and he could get ten thousand strikes in before it was time to go.

Apart from avoiding Darius, everyone in Sahin seemed to be be completely enamored with their technology. They were all too busy staring at their phone or waving their arms about as if they were controlling something the rest of the world couldn't see.

Suddenly large spheres whizzed past above Darius. He couldn't help but look up as large spheres glided above suspended rail. Although they looked like large metallic beads they were hollow inside and served as a sort of futuristic taxi, although not many people used these as most simply used the teleportation chambers that stood like phone booths everywhere.

The whole thing made Darius feel rather insignificant as he continued to look on in awe. He was once again lost in the splendor of it all. He could never go back to the village now.

As another one whizzed past him, he noticed this one wasn't a sphere at all but rather shaped like a bullet. It moved significantly faster and held Darius' gaze as he turned to watch it as it zoomed by. It was metallic and in one piece yet it could twist and bend as if it was reshaping itself to the twists and turns of the rail.

Still watching it Darius had begun to walk backwards, still captivated by all he saw.

It was then that a group of young nobles noticed Darius. Unfortunately for him it was the same group he had encountered at the mall. The oldest was only about seventeen, the one Darius had bumped into, and so was just a year younger than Darius. As soon as the noble saw him he motioned to the rest of his friends.

They all took one look at him and began snickering and making snide comments they all found particularly hilarious. Each one had a beautiful girl around their arm, and one could sense their superiority complexes from a mile away. You could tell that from the moment they were born silver spoons had been shoved so far up their behinds if you looked closely you could almost see them at the back of their throats.

”Oh look, it's that thing that bumped into me at the mall today again. Have you ever seen anything so pathetic?” William, the oldest one in the group, said with a look of genuine disgust on his face. His friends naturally broke out laughing, although to be fair they would laugh anything he said.

He was from one of the twelve noble houses of Sahid, house Rylen. William was the youngest of the Rylen family, which itself stood as one of the wealthiest families to date. Thus, young William had never worked a single day in his life. Being the very youngest, he had twenty-four older siblings and they were all favored in chronological order, from the oldest to the youngest, therefore his father or anyone else in the family for that matter ever really cared about where he was or what he did.

Still, he lived a very comfortable existence and despite being the youngest, the name Rylen still carried much weight in Sahid, and in a place like this where nobility was everything, there were many perks to simply being associated with someone of his social standing. This was the sole reason why his peers had no problems with having to constantly kiss his ass, sucking up to him every chance they could.

”I don't know Will, he's kinda cute, and i like his muscles” said the girl who was under under Will's arm. William, the blonde haired youth Darius had bumped into and had been slowly sliding his arm lower down the girls back for the last five minutes snorted in annoyance. Her remark had gotten to him as he was quite weak in terms of physical strength and he knew it.

The girl however, was one of his many girlfriends. Her name was Jade, although in Will's phone's contact list, she was number fourteen. She would've been number thirteen but Will decided that could be bad luck. Although he wasn't supersticious, he simply decided not tempt fate and left that place empty.

Nevertheless, she kept staring at Darius as he walked, clearly feeling somewhat enamored by him.

”Look at him Jade, he's a fucking hillbilly, he keeps staring at the damn taxi's for fucks sake!”
