Chapter -3

“Holy..!” Deno said, “It's collapsing,!!” Deno Shouts.

He lifts up the Atlas and starts flying as fast as you can.

“No, No no no! it's too big, what idiot set up an explosion in a building,” Deno thought.

“No we can’t make it!!!,” Deno yelled and closed his eyes.

All of a sudden it stops, The skyscraper stopped in the middle of mid-air.

Deno opens his eyes and says “Am I dead? Why the hell heaven looks exactly the same as Immar, don’t tell me…”

“My soul is trapped in the battlefield, to be roamed and haunt forever,” Deno said.

“No idiot, you are still pretty much alive, just look up,” Atlas said.

Deno looks up “what..? It stops in the mid-air, how can this be possible,” Deno said.

* * *

A sudden change in the air, a heavy pressure even hard to breathe, Building turn into Dust and disappear into the haze, the sky becomes dark and full of clouds, the lightning strike upon Immar every soldier, and turn them into the ashes, every Empire soldier was on the kneels, lowering their heads.

A heavy voice came from the sky

“WHAT’S TAKING SO LONG TO CEASE ONE MESSILY PLANET,” The Voice said.

Everyone on the ground started shaking and kneeling in fear, “Hail to His Majesty The King of all beings, the sovereign of the great universe, monarch of the Great Imperial Empire, The Emperor EVAAN T. AION,” They said.

“KIM QIN!” Emperor EVAAN T. AION Said.

“Y..yyyes, your majesty,” Kim Qin said, Keening down he was extremely nervous and distressed.

“YOU HAVE DISAPPOINTED ME” Emperor EVAAN T. AION Said.

He starts sweating and terrified, he prostrated himself on the ground the bang, hard enough that blood starts flowing, “Please forgive me, your Majesty; it was my fault as a leader,” Kim Qin said

“ALTHOUGH I AM A PUNISHER BUT I AM FORGIVER AS WELL, BECAUSE OF YOUR PREVIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS AND YOU LOYALTY TOWARD ME, I THE EVAAN T. AION SHALL FORGIVE YOU JUST THIS ONCE,” Emperor EVAAN T. AION Said.

“Many thank O.Majesty the forgiving one; I promise you this lowly servant shall not be disappointing you ever again,” Kim Qin said.

“KIM QIN, I THE EVANN T. AION HAVE SENT YOU A ROYAL DECREE” Emperor EVAAN T. AION Said.

“It’s my honor Your Majesty,” Kim Qin said.

“SEE TO IT AT ONCE” Emperor EVAAN T. AION Said.

“As you wish Your majesty,” Kim Qin said.

Back at the mother spaceship, everyone was taking a breath of relief, out of such a terrifying situation, talking about that moment among themself again and again.

“|I told you guys I almost pissed myself,”

“Seriously man I think that we are fucked, that lighting can strike us any movement. Emperor is truly tariffing,”

“Oh yeah of course he is the most powerful man in the universe, he is the reason our Empire is considered as the strongest nation of all three, not even 13 great houses together can defeat him he is God himself,”

“Yeah, and I heard he is so powerful that he can destroy the entire planet all by himself”

“No kidding man, no kidding”

In the commander’s office, Deno brought the Atlas with him on the ship, Atlas standing in front of the commander’s desk, staring at Commander Kim Qin, sitting on his desk, and Lieutenant commander Mariel standing behind him.

“So Deno brought you,” Commander Kim Qin asked Atlas.

………..”(No reply)

“Deno, I know you were there,” Commander Kim Qin said.

Deno was hiding behind the gate, peeping at Commander’s office “Oh commander how you doing, I was just passing by haha, so I thought to see if you doing fine and all, you know After that hell of a show out there, huh,” Deno said.

“Yeah, I am perfectly fine….” Commander Kim Qin said.

“…….”

“Anything else...” Commander Kim Qin said.

“.........”

“I know he and you are from the same race but you can not bring every Cursed blood out there,” Commander Kim Qin said.

“What do you mean, he is the first cursed blood I met so far. You know cursed blood is so rare these days,” Deno said.

“And besides he has a talent, he’s able to break my urja barrier despite being so young,” Deno said.

“What..? he broke your urja barrier,” Commander Kim Qin said.

“Yep, here’s the proof,” Deno said and he showed the little scar on his neck.

“Be able to put a scratch on a holder at such a young age...that just means one thing…” Commander Kim Qin thought.

“High Urja capacity, Boy must have High urja capacity at least equal to any average holder or even Higher,” Commander Kim Qin thought.

“And his eyes are red as well, such red eyes for someone so young,” Commander Kim Qin thought,

“Are you really telling the truth, Deno?” Commander Kim Qin said.

“Absolutely, I swear upon you,” Deno said.

“Don’t swear up on me!” Commander Kim Yelled.

“Hah...Fine, he can stay, we can admit him into some Alters school, until then he can stay here as long as he wants,” Commander Kim said.

He sat bent towards his desk, hand under his chin with his fingers crossed, “So now, do you have any name, boy” Commande Kim Qin Asked Atlas.

“........”

Atlas didn't reply, the commander looked at his tag, and wondered if he‘s a no-name, and said“So you don’t then...” Commande Kim Qin said.

“I have one,” Atlas suddenly replied.

“What..!? you have, why don’t you tell me when I ask” Deno said while shaking Altas.

“Calm down Deno...Anyone will be scared if you ask them like that,”

“|That so, having a name despite being a C tag is illegal,” Commander Kim said.

“Come on commander, it really doesn’t matter,” Deno said

“He has a name then Why shouldn’t we call him that, instead of the number, it’s really hard to remember and beside C tags can have named it someone from the higher tag approved,” Deno said.

“What you getting at,” Commander Kim said

“Nothing, I just want you to give him approval,” Deno said.

Commander Kim smiles, and bent backward in his chair, “No, I don’t think so,” Commander Kim said.

“You are the one how found him so I think you should do it,” Commander Kim said.

“You and I both are B tags, It really doesn’t matter, so it thinks you should do it,” Commander Kim said.

“Ok then, I do it, no biggy” Deno said.

“Put out your tagged hand,” Deno said to Atlas.

Atlas puts out his left hand, Deno holds his hand and says “ By the Law of the universe I Deno The B tag Approve this tag and grant it a name, Atlas” Deno said.

“And now you're officially being named as Atlas,” Deno said,

“Strange, Ain’t the numbers supposed to disappear once The name is been granted,” Deno said with a confused look.

Atlas moves Right hand to the back and grabs the knife, he stays Deno with nervous looks in his eyes ready to kill any moment.

“I think it’s fine. I am sure it will disappear soon” Deno said.

Altas let go of the knife and moved his hand forward, But the commander notices what just happened, “ this boy is suspicious” he wonders.

“Tell me Atlas, who named you, and what were you doing on Immar,” Commander Kim said.

“My mother, she was the one how named me..before I was kidnapped by a human trafficker,” Atlas said.

“What Kidnapped...! Damn those human traffickers, How dare they kidnapped the child,” Deno said.

“Do you know where you are from, which planet you used to live on ?, we can drop you there” Commander Kim asked.

Atlas covers one eye with his hand. The unpleasant image of planet Alpha came into his head, he starts feeling uneasy and anxious, “I Don’t know,” Atlas said.

“What do you mean???” Commander Kim said.

“I don’t know...I don’t know anything….I can’t remember anything… I have some vague memory of some woman whom I used to call Mother and she called me Atlas…., sometimes an episode of my memory with her came into my mind, but I can’t remember her face, her name, nothing” Atlas said.

“My earliest memory is about two years ago, the moment I woke up before I got kidnapped,” Atlas said.

“Hmm… you don’t know anything about your mother and the place you used to live then it’s going to be difficult to find her, tell me do you know where you got kidnapped,” Commander Kim said.

“I...don’t know, but I heard from a human trafficker saying that he kidnapped me from somewhere called Alpha,” Atlas said.

Everyone in the room was surprised by their core, they didn't believe what they just heard.

“I....didn't hear it right….can you say it again?” Commander Kim said.

“...They kidnapped me from someplace called Alpha,” Atlas said.
