3656 Three Days

"You have woken up," said the familiar voice as my eyes fluttered open.

There is a stone-skinned woman in front of me. A level 6 healer; I had worked with her a few times.

Though I feigned the passing familiarity; she didn't know me in this skin, and I don't know whether the organization had informed her about my real identity yet.

"Where am I?" I asked groggily as I looked around. I know where I am, I have only asked it before I have asked many patients this question when they wake up.

My powers are sealed, but it is one of the healer's seals. Strong enough to stop the accidental charge of power, but not strong enough, I couldn't unseal it within a minute.

I had already begun dissolving the seal.

"You are in the medical center," she replied. "In organization?" I asked, to which she nodded.

I slumped back on the bed and looked around while she stared at data flashing above me. It is an act; she is waiting for a perfect moment to ask the question.

"What is the last thing I do you remember?" she asked, and I opened my mouth before stopping.

"Do you have permission to ask it?" I asked back, and she smiled and permission flashed from her badge at her chest.

"I was at city square, experiencing something terrifying," I said, with my voice barely more than a whisper.

"The organizations want you to write a complete report about that before you discharge in the evening," she said, and I looked at my chest.

"My badge?" I asked her, and she looked at the table beside my bed. There is a badge, and it is mine, that bastard Moraz had taken and not the new one.

I took the badge while she left with a smile.

I connected it with my soul sense and the first thing, I did was check the feeds for the information. The public feeds barely have anything, but some are restricted ones have some news, but it is not enough.

I couldn't even ask around.

I calmed myself and thought for a while, before started writing the report. I wrote everything truthfully, till I was discovered, before turning vague at when the strange runes started shining.

I wanted to say, I blanked out, but seeing the formation had connected to the millions of people and millions of strings had enveloped it, I decided to go with the truth, but wrote everything vaguely like it was a dream, I had started to forget.

In a few minutes, I had finished with the report, before starting to write it on a badge in fashion, which a person's barely clear mind would write.

I took an hour to write a report and sent it, before entering my core.

'It didn't seem like they had seen something,' I said as I appeared beside my clone, which, looking at screens of data in front of it.

I had been here for three days, and Prime had checked on me. The checking had been thorough, but looking at the data on his scan; I don't think, they had discovered anything incriminating about me.

My real level is still hidden.

The scan is even, there are not the slightest fluctuations. Even primes wouldn't be able to hide their faintest reaction when they are scanning my body.

The things I had prepared seemed to be working well and I might have received some help from the hidden being. I don't know for sure, because my preparations were pretty tight, but it is a Prime, I am talking about.

There is a difference of three stages between us.

I decided to not worry about it too much. If they had found out my levels or, god forbid, the forbidden power, I wouldn't be here, but in a very secure place, with the Prime's hovering around me.

Though I may not worry about it, I need to remain cautious.

I moved my eyes to the meta-scan, a very detailed one, and I looked for those strange symbols, but I expected there was nothing in there.

The hidden being is nothing. If not thorough. I can bet my life on, that they had removed those strange runes from the bodies of everyone affected. It made me feel relieved; those monsters could do horrible things, with those strange runes.

Sighing in relief, I turned to the newest thing that appeared in my core. The metallic round plate, just like its head, but without any marking, and like that mountain, I couldn't access it.

I might need to be Prime or even above it before I could access it.

I looked at it for a few seconds before I got out of my core.

There are a ton of things for me to do, but I am feeling like doing it. I just want to lie on the bed and not think about anything at all, especially what I had experienced before I fell unconscious.

It was too much; I was so close to death. If not for Prime Sanadis and then the hidden being, I would have been in deep trouble.

Click!

I was staring blankly at the ceiling, thinking, when the door of the room opened, and I thought it would be Healer Strenil, but to my surprise, it was Prime Volsnorth.

"Prime," greeted, sitting up from my bed.

"Sit, don't strain yourself too much," he said as he appeared beside and sat down on the chair.

"How are you feeling?" he asked. "Fine. Also relieved, not seeing those terrifying marks on my soul," I replied, to which he smiled.

"They have been removed by the benefactor, who dealt with the asear vajaras," he said and I faked relief.

"Who was it? Who killed that monster? They must be someone powerful to kill it with such ease?" I asked, to which the old man shook his head. "Nobody knows. They didn't reveal themselves, even to the Prime Sanadis," he replied.

"Such a regret; I would at least like to know the name of a benefactor. Thank them for saving, me and the whole city," I said and sighed.

For a minute, there was a silence, before the old man opened his mouth.

"I have come here to thank you, on behalf of the whole organization. If you had not discovered the threat, the whole city might have been sacrificed," said the old man, while I smiled mirthlessly.

"It was me and my carelessness who had endangered the millions in the city. If I had been careful, the citizens wouldn't have needed to bear the horrifying trauma," I replied, and the old man shook his head again.

"That is where you are wrong, Michael."

"You have discovered the thing, that not even the Sky Sovereigns and Prime had been able to discover. If you had not, the whole city would have been sacrificed in the future and the culprits got away," he said.

I didn't reply to that.

I don't know what to say; what he said is right, but I am unable to accept it. I could only think about millions of people who would have died if there hadn't been a timely rescue.
