Capítulo 16: Ludicrously Ridiculous
Zanno and his father, Jengo were finally discharged from the hospital after weeks of treatment and rehabilitation. Concerns about the zak'nagi parasites in Zanno's bloodstream were also settled. All traces of the parasites had miraculously vanished. Doctors were astounded by the development, especially Dr. Ahmed.
「 Dr. Ahmed 」
"I really have no words to describe it..."
"The parasites somehow were miraculously, gone."
Zanno paid close attention as Dr. Ahmed and his father discussed the unexpected turn of events. A mixture of relief and curiosity filled the air.
「 Zanno 」
"That's incredible, Dr. Ahmed."
"How is it even possible?"
「 Dr. Ahmed 」
"I wish I had a clear answer for you, Zanno."
"It's truly remarkable."
"The parasites were spreading rapidly through your bloodstream, and we were preparing for a blood transfusion, as recommended by the experts from the capital."
"But when we retested, there were no traces of them."
"It's as if they disappeared overnight."
「 Jengo 」
"Is it..."
"Is it possible that something or someone intervened?"
"Maybe there's more to this."
Dr. Ahmed's eyes widened as he considered Jengo's words.
「 Dr. Ahmed 」
"Well, it's difficult to say, Mr. Starr."
"Scientifically, we have no explanation for this sudden disappearance."
"But sometimes, there are mysteries beyond medical science."
"Perhaps there was an external force at play."
Zanno, knowing the hidden truth continued to act amazed.
「 Zanno 」
"I am grateful for this miracle, Doctor."
"Even though my left leg remains the same."
Dr. Ahmed nodded, having a glance at Zanno's crippled left leg.
「 Dr. Ahmed 」
"I have no doubt that you will manage, Zanno."
"Your resilience is..."
"Inspiring."
"If there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to reach out."
With their gratitude expressed, Zanno and Jengo bid farewell to Dr. Ahmed and left the hospital, stepping into a world filled with both uncertainty and hope.
As Jengo pushed Zanno in his wheelchair into their home after a long walk from the hospital, Zanno quickly closed the door. A glimmer of anticipation shone in his eyes.
「 Zanno 」
"Dad…"
"There's something I need to tell you."
"It's time to reveal the truth."
Jengo gazed at his son with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
「 Jengo 」
"The truth?"
"What is it, Zanno?"
"What are you talking about?"
Zanno took a deep breath, gathering the courage to share what had really happened with his father.
「 Zanno 」
"Dad, our world is not what it seems."
"There are hidden forces at work on a larger scale."
"I am somehow entangled within it."
Jengo's eyes widened as Zanno began to unravel the secret that had been kept from him. The truth, long concealed, was finally ready to be revealed. Jengo, trying to absorb Zanno's rant slowly smiled and hugged his beloved son.
「 Jengo 」
"Did you hit your head or something, son?"
Zanno's heart sank as he heard his father's response. He had anticipated disbelief and confusion, but he hadn't expected Jengo to question his sanity.
「 Zanno 」
"No, Dad, I'm serious."
"I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's the truth."
"I have memories and experiences that I can't explain."
Jengo's smile faded, replacing it with a deep concern.
「 Jengo 」
"Zanno, I don't doubt your sincerity, but this sounds silly."
"Are you sure you're not imagining all of this?"
Zanno's voice trembled as he tried to convey the truth he believed in with all his heart.
「 Zanno 」
"Dad, I understand how it sounds, but I've seen things and experienced things that are beyond imagination."
"I can't explain it all in one moment, but I swear to you, it's not my imagination."
Jengo's expression softened as he saw the earnestness in his son's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to process the information and make sense of it all.
「 Jengo 」
"Zanno, I love you, and I trust you."
"But this is a lot to take in."
"Can you..."
"Can you show me something, anything, that can help me understand?"
Zanno nodded, relieved that his father was at least willing to consider the possibility. He pulled out his Ki card from his pocket. His hand trembled, filled with nervousness.
「 Zanno 」
"I'll show you."
"Look at my Ki card, Dad."
「 Jengo 」
"I thought I had activated your card already..."
「 Zanno 」
"You did, Dad..."
"You did."
Jengo watched as Zanno focused his energy, and a faint glow emanated from the card. The zak'nagi emblem emerged on the card, once again.
Jengo's eyes widened, and he reached out, tentatively touching the card. It felt warm and comforting, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
「 Jengo 」
"This..."
"This is incredible."
"How can you activate the card by yourself?"
"And…"
"And why does your representation emblem look like a zak'nagi's head?"
「 Zanno 」
"Dad, this is just the beginning."
"There's so much more to show you, to explain."
"Our world is filled with wonders and dangers, and I have a role to play in it."
"To protect this world from the threats that lurk in the shadows."
Jengo stared at the card, lost in thought. He had so many questions, but he also felt a sense of awe and excitement.
「 Jengo 」
"I..."
"I don't know how to process all of this, Zanno."
"But I trust you, and I want to understand."
"Show me everything."
Zanno's heart swelled with gratitude and love for his father. He knew that their journey would be filled with challenges, but with Jengo by his side, they would face whatever challenges that came their way.
「 Zanno 」
"Thank you, Dad."
"It means a lot to me."
"Now let me show you a cool trick."
"Mom..."
"Can I get back my Regen Skill from Dad, please?"
「 Jengo 」
"Olivia?!"
「 Olivia 」
"Sure thing, dear."
Jengo was awe-struck after hearing the voice he missed so much since seven years ago.

◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥
As soon as Zanno gained his Regeneration skill back, his crippled left leg immediately started to heal. Minutes later, Zanno got out of his wheelchair. Standing like a normal person, with a wide grin on his face.
「 Zanno 」
"Tadaa..."
Jengo was in total shock as he witnessed his son's crippled leg miraculously heal before his very eyes. He was at a loss for words, trying to comprehend the extraordinary power that Zanno possessed.
「 Jengo 」
"Zanno, this..."
"This is unbelievable!"
"Your leg, it's healed!"
"How is this possible?"
Zanno, still beaming with joy, walked around the room. Taunting his father's amazement.
「 Zanno 」
"Dad, this is the power of my Regeneration skill."
"It allows me to heal my injuries at an accelerated rate."
"Mom lend it to you temporarily."
「 Jengo 」
"But your mother has already passed away, Zanno."
"Please."
"Explain this to me."
「 Zanno 」
"Mom..."
"Can you show yourself to Dad, please?"
「 Olivia 」
"Sure thing, dear."
As Zanno's words hung in the air, a soft glow filled the room, and the figure of Olivia, Zanno's late mother, materialized before them. Jengo was astonished in disbelief as he saw the familiar face of his beloved wife standing before him.
「 Jengo 」
"Olivia?"
"Is it really you?"
Olivia smiled gently, her presence radiating warmth and love.
「 Olivia 」
"Yes, Jengo, it's me."
"I've been watching over both of you from the other side."
"I'm here now to support our son in his journey."
Jengo's emotions overwhelmed him as he reached out, almost hesitantly, to touch Olivia's hand. He could feel the faintest touch, a sense of connection that brought tears to his eyes.
「 Jengo 」
"I..."
"I can't believe it."
"How is this possible?"
Olivia's ethereal form seemed to shimmer with a soft light as she explained.
「 Olivia 」
"Our son's fate was jumbled up with a Soul Traveler from another world by the genetic codes they shared."
"Upon arriving in our world, the Soul Traveler and our son have become one."
Jengo's voice quivered as he struggled to find the right words.
「 Jengo 」
"I..."
"I've missed you so much, Olivia."
"How can I come to terms with all of this?"
Olivia moved closer, enveloping Jengo in a comforting embrace.
「 Olivia 」
"I know it's overwhelming, my love."
"But together, we will steer through this new reality."
"Zanno has shown me incredible things, and I believe in him."
"We have a purpose, Jengo, to protect our son at all costs."
"To bring out the truth into the web of lies we've been fed."
Jengo nodded, his heart filled with a mix of grief, wonder, and determination.
「 Jengo 」
"I may not fully understand it all yet, but I trust both of you."
"I love you, Olivia, and I love our son."
"I will stand by Zanno's side, indefinitely."
Zanno's eyes glistened with tears of gratitude and joy. He had longed for his father's blessing, and now, with Olivia's presence and Jengo's willingness to embrace the truth, they were united as a family once again.
「 Zanno 」
"Thank you, Dad."
"Thank you for believing in me."
"Together, we will uncover the truth."
Jengo reached out and touched Zanno's arm, still in disbelief but unable to deny the reality of the situation.
「 Jengo 」
"This is still weird, you know."
"This is beyond anything I could have imagined, Zanno."
Zanno chuckled and gave his father a warm hug.
「 Zanno 」
"We're in this together, Dad."
"With your support, I know that we can face whatever challenges that come our way."
"Our lives are about to become more extraordinary than we ever thought possible."
"Hehe..."
Jengo smiled, his skepticism slowly giving way to a glimmer of excitement and curiosity.
「 Jengo 」
"You're right, Zanno."
"I may not fully understand it yet…"
"But I will."
"We will do this together, as father and son."
Zanno's eyes sparkled with renewed hope and determination. He knew that their journey wouldn't be without its difficulties, but having his father's support meant everything to him.
「 Zanno 」
"Thank you, Dad."
"Together, we'll face the unknown, unravel the mysteries, and protect those we hold dear."
Jengo nodded, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He was stepping into a world he never imagined existed, but he was ready to embrace it for the sake of his son.
「 Jengo 」
"I never thought my life would take such an unexpected turn, but I'm grateful for this opportunity."
"Our bond as father and son will guide us through."
「 Zanno 」
"Thanks, Dad."
"I love you so much…"
"One hundred and twenty-four million times!"
「 Jengo 」
"Hmm… Tell me, son."
"How come you are talking to me like an adult?"
"Your choice of words... Is not of a seven years old."
「 Zanno 」
"Oh… I did not mention it to you earlier?"
"Well… You see, Dad."
"The Soul Traveler is 45 years of age."
"Since he is now one with me, that makes me..."
"Older than you!"
"Hehe…"
Jengo blinked in surprise, his eyebrows raising at Zanno's revelation. He couldn't help but chuckle at his son's playful explanation.
「 Jengo 」
"Ah, I see."
"So, you have the wisdom of a Soul Traveler within you, huh?"
"Well, I suppose that does make you older in a sense."
"But remember, age is just a number, and the love between us is timeless."
"You are still my son, you know."
Zanno grinned, his eyes shining with mischief.
「 Zanno 」
"That's true, Dad."
"No matter what age I am, our bond will always be strong."
"Together, we'll survive this crazy destiny of mine."
"And I'll always look up to you as my dad."
Jengo's heart swelled with pride, his skepticism fading away completely. He embraced Zanno once again, feeling the warmth of their connection.
「 Jengo 」
"And I'll always be here for you, Zanno."
"No matter what challenges we face or how..."
"Looney things become, we'll face them together as a family."
"I love you, my son."
Zanno hugged his father tightly, feeling a sense of security and love wash over him.
「 Zanno 」
"I love you too, Dad."
"I can't wait to see what the future holds."
「 Jengo 」
"But... We can't let anyone know about this."
"It will cause a lot of confusion and chaos."
"Your abilities and the truth you've discovered must remain a secret, at least for now."
"We need to protect ourselves and those we care about."
Zanno nodded understandingly, realizing the weight of his father's words. He knew that his extraordinary abilities could be misunderstood or exploited if exposed to the wrong people.
「 Zanno 」
"You're right, Dad."
"We must keep it between the two of us."
"And we must be cautious about who we trust."
Jengo placed a reassuring hand on Zanno's shoulder. Zanno's resolve strengthened as he looked into his father's eyes. They understood the responsibility they carried and the sacrifices they needed to make for the greater good.
「 Jengo 」
"I'm proud of you, Zanno."
"Your maturity and understanding of the situation impress me."
"It's awkward though…"
"Having a son who is older than me."
"Haha…"
「 Zanno 」
"Jeez, Dad. I am still your little baby… Hehe."
The two of them shared a lighthearted laugh, momentarily easing the weight of their responsibilities. Zanno's playful remark brought a sense of fun to their conversation, reminding them of the enduring bond they shared as father and son.
「 Jengo 」
"You'll always be my little baby."
"No matter how…"
"Awesome you become."
"Age doesn't change the love and pride I feel for you, Zanno."
Zanno grinned, appreciating his father's words as they shared a moment of laughter in a comforting hug.
