Destroying My Own World

Chapter 6: Alester.

"We got company," Aurea said as she glanced at James and the others who were slowly walking toward them.

Mykel turned around and looked at the hundred Awakeners who walked toward him. He didn't know who they were, but looking at their armor and the weapons on their bodies, they weren't ordinary Awakeners.

"Excuse me, why are you burning down the demons?" James asked as he pointed at the pile of demons' dead bodies.

"You came here and ask a question without introducing yourself first? That's quite rude isn't it?" Sven asked back as he put down his scythe that he had created from the demon's claw.

"You don't know who we are? Seriously?" Travis asked as he scoffed in disbelief.

"No. We don't. So introduce yourself," Elena answered straight-forwardly and stared Travis in the eye.

Victor chuckled quietly and he found it fascinating, especially when he saw Elena. He was interested in her and how she used her words.

"You must have heard about the four guilds, right? We are the guild masters of those guilds. Let me introduce myself. My name is James Chase, of Goldmane," James said as he put his right hand on his chest.

The others introduced themselves, but when Victor did it, his eyes couldn't stop staring at Elena. He didn't realize that both Mykel and Lyneth were giving him deadly stares because of the way he looked at Elena and her body.

"I'm going to ask you guys again. Why do you burn the bodies? Do you know one of those bodies worth a fortune?" James asked.

"Worth a fortune? Do you see anyone else here that would be interested in these?" Rozan asked back. "Also, it would only spread disease that you don't even want to know," Rozan pointed out.

"In that case, can we take the remaining ones for ourselves?" Morris asked as he pointed his thumb at the road that they came from.

"Well now that you mentioned it, why should we do that? We are the ones that killed them. So it's ours," Aurea answered with her arms crossed. "Unless you want to pay for it, then they're all yours," Aurea continued.

"I'll buy all of them," Victor said as he kept staring at Elena. "How much do you want?" Victor asked and tried to impress Elena.

Elena smirked and lifted her index finger and middle finger, "Two billion dollars."

Victor was taken aback by the answer, but he immediately got back to his composure and looked around. He looked at the remaining bodies and tried to remember how many dead bodies he had seen before.

"I don't think it would be worth that much," Victor said.

"What's the matter? You're trying to impress me, so impress me," Elena smiled and raised her right eyebrow.

Victor licked his bottom lip as he chuckled and nodded his head. "Fine, I'll buy them for two billion dollars."

"That's a deal then," Elena smirked, and then she turned around and winked at Mykel.

"Hold on. You haven't told me your name," Victor said as he nodded his head up.

Elene slowly turned around and said, "Elena, Elena Alester."

"What about you guys? We don't know your names. I also believe you're the one who leads them?" Morris asked as he looked at Mykel.

"Mykel Alester," Mykel answered.

They noticed that both Elena and Mykel had the same last name, and they couldn't help but wonder.

"Elena is my little sister," Mykel said before they could ask the question.

Lyneth, Jeanne, and the others immediately glanced at Mykel and were surprised that he said that. They didn't say anything and decided to play along and remember to not misspoke about who Mykel and Elena were. They then introduced themselves to James and the others.

After they all got to know each other, Mykel created a fake story about why they were the only ones in the city. He made up a story that he found Rozan and the others from the city except for Elena and Lyneth. He told them he was from New York, and he wasn't lying since he was indeed from there.

"So you guys have been surviving on your own for a whole year here? That's amazing," Morris said as he enjoyed his beer and looked at the bar he was in. "But why don't you guys go to Nebraska since you know that it's safe there? Why stay here?" Morris asked with curiosity.

"We can manage ourselves here. We got here everything and we don't really need protection either. We found this place comfortable," Mykel answered.

"Are you planning on staying here?" James asked.

"Not anymore," Mykel stood up as he walked to behind the counter. "Since we have two billion dollars now. I think we are going to use it and enjoy ourselves with that money," Mykel answered as he poured himself a glass of vodka.

"Great! Then you should come along with us back to Nebraska. I believe the President wants to see you and your team because you guys are extraordinary," Morris said as he raised his beer.

Mykel didn't say anything and just chuckled.

James and the others spent the night near the bar and it was so peaceful that it terrified them. The next morning, they all went back to Nebraska after they informed Richard and sent him pictures of what had happened in Denver.

(In the temporary White House in Nebraska)

"My God. These twelve people are enough to stop a breakout? Who are these people? Have you identified who these people are?" Richard asked his secretary as he looked at the pictures on his tablet.

"I have, but I can only identify one of them. Please have a look, Mister President," The secretary gave the document to Richard.

Richard opened the document and saw a photo of Mykel Alester and the information about him.

"Mykel Alester, an author of his popular novel called The Towers of Demon..." Richard read the information out loud and kept reading until the last page. "He has criminal records, quite a lot of them..." Richard said with his eyebrows furrowed.

"The novel went downhill and it changed his life drastically," The secretary explained.

"The Towers of Demon. Have you read the book?" Richard asked.

"Unfortunately I haven't. I'm not interested in a fantasy book," The secretary answered.

Richard shrugged his mouth and then his phone rang. He picked it up and it was James, informing him that they should be arriving in the White House in an hour. He then told his secretary to prepare a room to welcome Mykel and his team.

(Somewhere inside the bunker in New York)

A man shrouded in a dirty blanket as he sat at the desk and stared at his laptop with the sound of a TV in the background. He was scrolling through the forum to find information about Awakeners and how to become one in his dark room.

"Man, this sucks. Why everyone is awakened while I'm not..." The man said as he sighed and stretched his body.

The man was blankly staring at the wall as he peeled his bottom lip's skin, but then he heard the breaking news music in the background. He turned around to turn it off because he felt envious whenever he listened to how being an Awakener was the best thing in the world. When he was about to turn off the TV, he saw the headline and it got his attention.

"Mykel Alester, a famous author that becomes a hero that survived for a year in Denver and defeated the demons..." The man said as he lowered his remote and put it away. "Mykel Alester? Isn't he the one who wrote Towers of Demon?" he continued as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"A new hope has appeared, and this time there are twelve of them. Who would have thought that good news keep coming, Ricky?" The woman newscaster said as she looked at her co-host. "I believe everyone wants to hear who these people are, and we have the names of the Awakeners that have saved Denver from demons," she continued and looked at the giant monitor behind her.

The man looked at the names and his eyes and mouth slowly widened. He immediately turned around and checked the Towers of Demon novel.

"Jeanne Dvar, Lyneth Leonis, Gunnar Fenmayer, Rozan Aubern, Gerrard Tal..." The man was shocked when the names matched with the names on the news. "These people are the characters from his novel..." he was speechless.

Suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.

[You have been chosen by the higher being]

[You have Awakened and become an Awakener with strength and the ability to defeat demons. You are given an opportunity to save Earth, and those who prove themselves will be rewarded]

[To access your strength and ability, you can say "Status" to check]

The man was so shocked and startled that he fell from his chair and lay down on the floor. He rubbed his eyes over and over until he was convinced that it wasn't a dream and that he wasn't imagining things.

"Status..." The man said.
