The Void Between Universes

And here I'm now thinking what will happen to me and who's the one that he love's.

I'm having that feeling that when he will finally be ready to confess he will look for me, from what he said I think that the chance of that happening is big.

one of the thing that I fear the most is my reaction when he will look for me to confess, I fear that I won't be able to stop myself from confessing to him then, I just don't want to make him confused when he faintly collected the courage to confess to his love.

now I'm telling myself that I will just bury my feeling deep in my heart and that I'll be happy for him, but who knows what I'll do when that time come.

I wonder what I'll do if he really come asking for my help.

Change of P.O.V: Alex:

After having dinner with my family i returned to my room and get straight to my bed while thinking about the adventure that was waiting for me and also about that thing's powers, you see that thing's power really made me terrified.

I mean after I saw that the light novel changed so much I tried to see if anyone noticed anything but I didn't find anything.

first no one noticed, I saw the comments about those chapters and what I found was that no one remembered anything about the real turn of event that happened in that light novel, that novel is famous and it have a lot of fan's so none of them being able to remember anything shows how much power that thing has and how much control he get over the world right now, knowing that I'm the one that gave him the ability to interfere in our world, I felt guilty and had a bad feeling that something really big will happen because of that.

Seeing a part of that thing's power I wasn't able to calm down, I mean yeah in our contract I gave him the ability to interfere in the time and space of our world, but not anyone can do that, even if they get the chance.

While thinking about those things I fall asleep.

when I opened my eyes I thought that I'll be in the same street with those people wearing ancient Chinese outfits walking everywhere or at least another light novel of the ones that I read, but what I saw was a great foggy forest with giant ancient trees that reached as far as the eyes could see they were so high that I thought that their tops are touching the sky, and from time to time I could hear a soul shaking roar, the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw all that was:

'that f***ing thing wants me to die again'

the first time that thing took me to another world, I struggled for more than half a year to get somehow of an acceptable power enough for me to protect myself and it wasn't till then that I started moving away from that town that I found myself in at the beginning, and even with that I almost died many times some of those times I almost died because of demonic beast and other time because of other cultivators, and the only reason why I stayed alive for that long was because the town that that thing put me in was safe or else a mortal like me would have been kill just for breathing the same air as some young master.

but there I was in that green hell how was I supposed to survive, you can't really blame me for thinking like that I mean ever since I found myself in that forest I didn't see any trace of a human or human civilization, add to that my normal human body that was pulled straight from bed I didn't know how much luck I'll need in order to survive or how much of my body will be left after those monsters attack me.

it was the middle of the day back then and the sun was just above my head but not much of the sunlight was shining on me a part of that was because of the fog but the most of it was ancient trees, there branches and leaves caved the sky above me.

I looked around me and I saw that the grass and fallen leaves around me were covered with dew and a thin lair of frost, but I didn't feel cold at all noticing that I looked at myself and saw that I wasn't wearing my pajama, but a thin black hooded cloak that covered all my body from head to toes and even though it was thin it was warm and comfortable, and underneath it I was wearing a black flexible armor.

as I saw that I was happy because I know that the thing gave me something to help me.

I tried to find something that I can use as a weapon, but I didn't find anything.

I was dispirited but right at that moment something come to my mind, it was something that I never saw or heard but it was right there in my mind even if I wanted to forget it I couldn't, after taking a deeper look at it I found that it was a cultivation technique.

Cultivation techniques are the most important thing for a cultivator it's used by cultivators to refine and control spiritual power, and the better the cultivation technique is the purer the spiritual power which will lead to better control over it and it's seize will be smaller which will lead to having more spiritual power than those in the same level as the holder and the purer the spiral power the more powerful the body you have in the body building stage which will be the foundation of the other levels, there are some other types of cultivation techniques that have there fighting styles these types of fighting styles can only be used by people who trained in that cultivation technique.

The cultivation technique that that thing gave was one of those.

"falling stars" I murmured the name of the technique while thinking about its meaning, and what does it does but I couldn't find anything about its effects on the user the information in my mind only told the way to cultivate it.

Knowing that I was in a dangers place I didn't really have another choice so I set there cross legged and started cultivating it.

the first step in cultivating is called body building in this stage you need to first feel the spirital power and after that you need to lead the spirital power that you felt to strengthens your body.

So I started cultivating, for some reason I didn't find any problems feeling the spiritual power in the air around me it didn't even take me a few minutes to feel it, and as soon as I felt it I led it to my body and after taking it through the specific passages in my body that the fallen stars technique mentioned in order to purify it.

As soon as I purified it I started using it to open my dantian which is the place where spiritual power is kept, after I succeeded I started building it and strengthening it.

As I finished doing that I started using the spiritual power to strengthen my skin which is the first stage in the body building stage.

After that come the second level muscles strengthen the third is bone cleaning and strengthen, and finally the last level blood burning.

I don't know how long I stayed like that but after a while after I finished strengthening 7% of my skin I felt a bit of pain on the back of my left hand, that pain waked me up from my state of cultivating.

I looked at it and I saw a blood red tattoo the shape of a sword.

Seeing that I was kind of surprised, because as soon as I saw it I know that it have a relation with the fighting style that the fallen star technique come with, what surprised me was that there's no cultivation technique that generated the fighting style on its own but all of them need the fighting style to be practiced before fusing them together.

As I was still thinking about what that tattoo could do 'as the technique didn't mention it' I felt something locking on to me it was a feeling of danger as if something horrible was looking at me.

Turning my head I saw a three meters long white saber toothed tiger

it was looking at me with it's cold indifferent eyes.

I felt my blood turn cold as its two eyes were looking at me, that saber toothed tiger was at least a spiritual power solidifying demonic beast, the me back then that had just started strengthening his skin the chance of me dying was no less than 99%, I really can't remember how much curses I gave that thing or how many generation of his family did I curse when I saw that tiger but for sure I wasn't stingy in using my words.

Even though I was surprised at first, I soon returned to my senses and I stood there looking at it even though I knew that I wasn't its match I wasn't going to die just like that I was going to fight till my last breath, I kept on thinking about what I could do to survi…

But well that tiger wasn't interested in giving me the time that I needed so it just attacked.

It's speed was terrifying all what I could do was move a little to the left which saved me because the tiger's paw missed my heart and hit my left shoulder, the hit was so strong that I get sent flying for more than ten meters before I stopped.

I looked at my left shoulder and I saw that it was bleeding but what surprised me was that I didn't lose my left arm, seeing that for the first time since I met him I was thankful for the thing for giving me that armor and cloak, because those two were the only reason why I still had my arm.

Even though that thin cloak would make you wonder if it could even keep you warm, when that tiger attacked it became so hard 'I think that it work on spiritual power the more I have the harder it becomes in time of need' that I didn't believe they were the same thing, and that flexible armor was even more formidable it stopped and absorbed most of that tigers attack and when I looked at it closer I found that it was releasing a pale shining green light in the place where it was ripped and as that pale green light was released my wound was closing in a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

I was happy because of all of that but of course it wasn't the best situation to celebrate me finding out about all of those hidden wonders of my objects as that tiger was coming at me again, it's just that that time that tiger wasn't in a hurry it was almost as if a cat playing with a mouse it caught.

it walked gracefully toward me not caring how I was running at full speed trying to run away from it, but then just as I was running at full speed I felt something hot come from I looked at it and I saw that the tattoo on my left hand started shining as the blood from my wounded shoulder touched it seemed as if the blood was being absorbed by the tattoo, the more blood that tattoo absorbed the brighter it shone and the more realistic it become, till in the end the tattoo looked the same as a real sword.

As soon as that tattoo of a sword become the same as a real one, something unbelievable happened.
