Chapter Twelve

Dark Horizon

I floated high above a full street. I couldn’t hide my smile as hundreds of Dream City citizens were out and cheering for me. A light rain showered the city, but it didn’t do anything to diminish the excited crowd. My gaze shifted from smiling face to smiling face, until I saw Nora and Hope in the crowd. They looked up with warm, knowing eyes. Hope had a wide grin and waved to me. Nora had her arms crossed along her stomach, but looked up at me with a small smile.

It had been five days since the night I spent having dinner with Nora and Hope. We were at the restaurant for hours, talking about everything from life in Dream City, to my former life back on Urth. The pair were fascinated by many superhero and villain stories that circulated back home. Hope loved hearing about noble superheroes, while Nora enjoyed the stories about the villains.

As the evening went on, we fell into talking about hopes and dreams. I enjoyed hearing about their lives in Dream City. It was truly like a dream, following your heart’s desires for career and lifestyle. I drank it all in, the pair talking about how they wanted to help change their world. Hope wanted to follow in the footsteps of the heroes she knew about from her youth. Nora wanted to save her world before it was too late.

Afterwards, I walked them to their place and we said our goodnights. Nora shook my hand. Hope kissed my cheek and hugged me, much to Nora’s annoyance. I waved to them as I flew up and back to my place.

After that, my world fell into training as hard as I could. Xull had no remorse when she spent each day throwing some of the toughest gladiators she could build at me. At several times, training had fallen back to fighting for my life. Despite my power, I was still only a category one Mana Storm. Training often fell to me using my special abilities. And when those were tapped out, I used my fists and kicks to finish the many battles.

Each day brought more and more people to the arena. Word had further spread, and by the third day, the stands were filled with Dream City citizens cheering me on. It had turned into a revival of sorts, seeing me smash gladiator drones to pieces. Hope told me one evening that people asked for streaming of my training, and Xull began showing the populace what I was doing.

My training did help in many ways. First, I did increase my skills power, to a degree. Second, I started to get a better handle on how to use my strength and speed. My movements became a little more fluid, and I learned how to strike for maximum damage. Third, my confidence began to build. I tried to keep myself humble, but I knew in my heart, if I needed to, I could dish it out and take it like a freaking monster.
