CH.0019 - The Chosen One

Place: Planet Earth. A few millenniums ago.

"Hey, freak why don't you speak?"

"Yeah. We never heard you speak. Are you really mute?"

One of the three bullies pushed the kid in front of him. The kid fell on his butt still he didn't make any sounds. On the contrary, he lifted his head and looked at the bullies with cold eyes.

Today he was being bullied, like on other days. The bullies' routine in the orphanage was bullying and his routine was being bullied.

He tried to fight back with them and you could say he fought well. But then the bullies pointed their anger at the little kids in the orphanage.

Then he understood that violence could never be a solution. It could only protect you from people who were weaker than you. But this would only change the direction of injustice. To weaker people.

So he interrupted the bullies when they were bullying the younger ones and became a target again.

But this time he didn't fight back he didn't even talk back. He tried everything he can to get their attention to protect the younger ones.

And now the kid was being bullied again. He wasn't talking with bullies but he was talking with himself in his head.

[Why?

Why the people have to be cruel?

Why they can't live peacefully?

Why is no one helping us?

Just why?]

"Hey, what was that look? I told you I don't like your that cold eyes, right? So why are still looking at me with those eyes?"

The older bully came forward while speaking and when he was at the kid's side he lifted his foot and kicked the kid's stomach.

---Baam…

Kid rolled on the ground while holding his stomach.

---Cough… cough…

"Tsch, still not talking. Boring. Let's go guys and the other ones."

"Haha, this one became boring recently. I heard today some new kids will come to the orphanage. How about checking them?"

"Hoh, freshmen? Why, didn't you say it before? We shouldn't have waste time with this trash. Let's go."

When the three bullies turned their back on the kid, a word left from the kid's mouth:

"Why?"

"Hımm, did you say something kid?"

The bullies turned back again when they heard the kid's voice.

"Why the world has to be so cruel?"

"Hahaha, I knew that my kick will work. Hey guys what about a little competition?

Let's beat this kid one by one and the person who took the most word from the kid's mouth will be the winner."

"Hahaha, sounds good. I am in."

"Well, freshmen can wait till another day. I will turn this kid into a parrot. Haha."

While the bullies were walking toward the kid, the kid was lying on the ground and watching the stars.

He didn't care about the bullies or the rain drops that dropping on his face. There was only one question in his mind:

[Why?]

Suddenly all the raindrops, plants, clouds, bullies, wind; everything that was moving including time were frozen.

[Because you aren't powerful enough!]

Another voice talked with the kid in his mind. But the kid didn't even care the stranger's voice kept talking with the voice in his mind.

[Can power really bring justice to the world. I tried before but power on the changed the course of injustice. It didn't prevent injustice.]

[That was because you weren't powerful enough. At that time you barely protect yourself. How can you protect other ones that kind of little power? You need to have ultimate power for that.]

[Well then, how can I get the ultimate power? If there's no way, there's no point in talking, is there?]

[Haha, of course, there is a way! The ultimate power. I can give it to you.]

When the stranger's voice finished his sentence, the kid's body began to fill with infinite power.

[This… This is the ultimate power?]

[Yes, this is the ultimate power. It belongs to you now. So what will you do with that? Remember, you can do everything with that.

You can finally take your revenge. So what will you do? Do you want to kill them? With your power, you can easily kill them and no one ever can found.

So what will do with the ultimate power?]

The voice asked him with tempting speech like the devil. Seem like he wanted that boy to use the power for something bad. But he just wanted to see if the kid can resist the temptation.

The kid looked at the bullies who is frozen like the rest of the world. And he turned his face to the sky again.

[I if had the ultimate power I would build a fair world ruled by justice. And protect it to eternity.

A world where I, young ones, and those bullies in the past were not bullied.]

[I liked you kid. You have a hero's heart.]

[I don't like heroes.]

[Huh, why?]

[They help people because they thought it is their responsibility.]

[A real heroes help other people because they want to. Not because they have to. And I call them superheroes.]

[Helping people because you want to not because you have to. Hahaha kid, I really liked you. You seem like someone can walk on our path.]

[What path?]

[You will learn eventually if you accept my offer?]

[What offer?]

[I can grant your wish and give you the eternal power that can build and protect the world want.

But you have to pay a price in return. always remember with great power comes great responsibility or great consequence whether you want it or not.

So do y….]

[I gladly accept!]

[Hmm? Why are so eager to accept? You should know that we never force people to do something? It is only your choice. So you don't "HAVE TO" accept this power.]

[Hımm, I know. But I "WANT TO".]

[Hahaha, nice answer kid. Then repeat after me. This oath will be the beginning of your new life.]

"""To Protect The Weak"""

"""To Guide The Unguided"""

"""To Stop The Cruel"""

"""To Punish The Criminal"""

"""I Oath I Will Walk Only Justice Path"""

"""I Oath I Will Guide With Justice"""

"""I Oath I Will Stop Injustice With Justice"""

"""I Oath I Will Punish Only to Justice"""

"""I am Accepting The Become First World Protector of Earth"""

"""To Watch The Humanity"

When the kid made his oath a seven-colored light beam fell from the sky and engulfed the kid.

[So I became Earth's Word Protector huh?]

[Remember this was your choice, now you have to live with that. Until you finished your duty or killed on your duty.]

[Thank you.]

[Why are you thanking?]

[You gave me the power that can accomplish my wish.]

[But you can die even before accomplishing your wish. Don't you afraid of death.]

[Why is someone afraid of death? Eventually, everything and everyone will die. My concern isn't the time I will die, it is how I die and what did accomplish before I die.

If I can leave a peaceful world behind before I die then I can close my eyes with a happy smile.]

[What a weird kid. The justice path needs people like you. You can accomplish much bigger things with your morality than others in our… Nevermind.

You can find all the answers in the world protector archive in your mind. You can also find the necessary knowledge about protecting the world there.

I can't you give you material things so should diligently study the archive because that is all you have.

And one last thing.]

A slight pain appeared and disappeared quickly in the kid's mind.

[This is my soul imprint. Crush it with your soul power when you finished your duty and will learn your location to come and chat with you.

Kid, don't deviate from the justice path, and don't die. I really want to meet with you after you finished your duty.]

[Don't worry. I will enjoy every second of it but if I die someday I will be sure it was worth it. And about the meeting after my duty, I can only say that fate will decide for us.]

When the seven-colored beam light disappeared, the kid also disappeared with it.

That day was the day Earth's First World Protector was chosen.

Place: Planet Lumos. Present Time

Ezar woke up from his sleep and suddenly opened his eyes. While he was gaining his vision clarity seven-colored light quickly faded from his pupils.

He straightened up and sat on his bed.

" A dream huh? How many centuries ago was the last time I dreamed? Or Should I say how many centuries ago was the last time I slept?"

Ezar got out of the bed and walked to the window. He remembered the past while watching the sunrise. Well, technically it was the sunset of the black sun.

"I really enjoyed every second and it was a worthwhile death. But I can't say the same for that ugly lizard."

Ezar lifted his head and looked at sky.

[Old man, are you still alive? Don't worry I will find you and properly thank you for the chance you gave me.

You are probably surprised when you see me in a different body, right? Well, I told you that fate will decide for us.

Looks like fate has a different kind of humor. Heh, just wait for a little more.]

---Knock, knock

"Big brother, are you awake? Grandma said that breakfast is ready?"

"I am awake, Lily. I will come downstairs after changing my clothes."

"Okay, be quick or I will eat your breakfast."

[This silly girl.]

Ezar went to his wardrobe to change his clothes with a smile on his face.

[Old man, until we meet again I will also be sure the enjoy every second of this life.]
