บท 3: Chapter 3: The world we live
"Man, today was wild!" Benny said as he was walking on the way home with the beetle in his hands covered. His uniform was ragged, and his glasses were broken, yet he maintained a casual attitude. "By the way, why are you smoking on school grounds, Zoey?"
The same punk girl who had saved him from expected death was with him on the walk. She was still smoking a cigarette.
"It's not a cigarette. It's..." Zoey took out the stick, which had a candy attached to the other end. "It is just a lollypop. I am licking it too fast. That's why the smoke is coming out."
"Hehe, as expected from Zoey Maegis, the holder of weapon manifestation Origin and Goddess Athena's Blessing. You are incredible at doing anything!"
"Heh." Zoey smiled proudly as she walked and pulled Benny from bumping into a pole. Her residence was in a different direction, but she had to walk with Benny because Benny would keep bumping on his way because of his broken glasses.
"Except about fashion," Benny said and adjusted his glasses with his middle finger. "Let's put your fair face and golden eyes aside but look at you! Uneven bangs, messy ponytail, lousy uniform with one hem inside the skirt and..."
Benny then lifted Zoey's skirt and looked at her legs. "Who the hell wears PE trousers under a skirt?!! You also don't have socks!"
"Because they are effective this way. I don't want to show my underwear every time I fight." Zoey replied, ignoring the fact that Benny had just lifted her skirt. She often got into fights, so it was natural to wear something that didn't hinder her daily activities.
"Whatever. Not like you have those ass-ets to begin." Benny meant that Zoey was B-Cup.
A vein popped on Zoey's forehead, but she controlled her anger. She sighed and said, "Why do you always act like an idiot, Benny? You should have called a teacher or me instead of being trashed by those trashes."
"Humph. I am not acting like/or an idiot. I am just smart~!" Benny praised himself as he adjusted his glasses while looking at the sky. Zoey had to pull him to bump into another obstacle. "And do you know why I didn't ask for your help?"
"At a second guess, I don't want to know," Zoey replied because she knew what was coming.
"For my reason, we have to go back 100 years when human advancement took them to Mars and the moon, space mining became possible and hazardous gasses were propelled safely to the Earth's atmosphere."
"Ah, not again..." Zoey frowned.
"It started with the prestigious family of Joerando. Joemama was in her kitchen when a vile creature came out from a dimensional rift called Hell Gate. The creature said, 'you thought it was your husband, but it was me, Mors!' It was the beginning of the downfall of the great human age."
"I don't ever remember this Joemama or Joerando family." Zoey interrupted, but benny continued to speak.
"Great human massacre begins. Destruction, demise, and despair congregated the human world. However, humanity started to repel these demonic creatures called Mors when they were exposed to a supernatural essence called mana, which gave humans weird incredible powers called Origins.
Humanity began to halt moments of these creatures coming from Hell's Gates. Albeit very difficult, humanity resisted Mors.
However, if the appearance of Mors wasn't enough to put humanity in turmoil, demons, the actual perpetrator behind the Hell Gates and Mors, also appeared.
At that time, humankind saw absolute hell with their eyes. Again, humanity started to be pushed back.
But then another twist occurred. Three ancient entities revealed themselves. They are dragons, titans, and gods. They helped humanity by blessing them to stand with pride, power, and honor against Mors and demons.
For years the war continued. The devastating chaos moved the Earth's tectonic plates, forming new continents. US and Canada formed the West Union. South America and Africa joined in South creating Southern Ward, and much of Russia tore from Asia and Europe, becoming a cold continent called Northern Rule. Europe and many eastern countries came into the center, forming Central Alliance. Finally, China, Japan, and other far eastern countries developed their islands-based continent divided into East Ming Dynasty and Great Nihon Empire. Earth also gets bigger and gets thrilled with resources.
As for three significant entities, none of them steps on Earth. They just blessed humans and continue to observe them from the heavens."
"Tsk. They don't care about humans. They don't even know who to bless or who not to." Zoey clicked her tongue with apparent animosity on her face.
"Oi, don't talk against them. You can be thrown in jail or, worse, executed for talking against three great entities." Benny warned Zoey as it was a severe crime to raise a voice against gods, titans, and dragons.
"Whatever. I don't care." Zoey ignored Benny's warning.
Benny sighed while adjusting his glasses and continued his story.
"Anyway, so in the world where 93% possess Origins from which 80% are Blessed, a person steps foot in this world possessing neither. His name is Benny Olbion."
"...that's it?"
"I am a Nap, meaning that I am Origin less and certainty not Blessed. I have a tragic background where my parents were killed before me, and students bullied me at school. I have got a childhood friend who defends me. Do you know what that means?"
"...no?"
"It means I have great hidden power that will reveal itself soon! I am designed for greatness. I know it!" Benny exclaimed, making a comical pose.
Zoey went speechless. She sighed and asked, "Let me repeat. Why didn't you call me when that bitch Wendy was harassing you?"
"Because you like me, and as a man designed for greatness, how can I ask for my girl's help?" Benny said, "So go out with me. I am free to date for now."
Hearing Benny, Zoey's expression turned stiff. "What makes you think that I would go out with you?"
"Because you saved me, a Nap who has no ability or blessing. You clearly like me since I am your childhood friend and fated to sit above all." Benny said and flipped his hair.
Although Zoey was his childhood friend, she shouldn't have any reason to confront Wendy and jump into trouble. She was a lazyass punk who wouldn't even try to wear her uniform correctly, so it was hard for Benny to believe in Zoey's goodwill unless she was an idiot.
Zoey's stiff expression grew distorted as she slammed her hand on the wall behind Benny.
"Oo! Kabedon," Benny exclaimed, excited by the legendary kabedon he had only seen in anime. Well, bullies at school did kabedon all the time, but it was different with Zoey.
"Listen here, Mr. Smartass. Today, I assisted you because they were blocking the entrance, and I hate that bitch Wendy. You also help with my homework and other theoretical assignments. Don't develop weird thoughts just because I am saving your sorry ass from time to time." Zoey said sternly, but she saw Benny shivering with fear. She thought she was a little harsh on him, and so she was about to apologize or give him a lollypop when she was proved wrong.
"OMG! I am seeing real-life tsundere on top of being a childhood friend. I am so excited right now. Don't stop, Zoey. Continue." Benny said with rosy cheeks.
Zoey wanted to punch Benny and yeet his bones out of his body, but this douche has already received a beating from Kevin. Benny didn't show his face, but Zoey could see some pale bruises on his neck. Benny wouldn't normally be walking if Zoey hadn't given him a Recovery Serum.
Recovery Serum is a medical injection that can heal injuries at an abnormal rate.
Zoey sighed and asked, "Let's suppose if I agree to go out with you. What can you give me?"
"What? Why should men be the only ones to sacrifice? I demand equality!" Benny replied.
"Oh gosh." Zoey rolled her eyes and asked again, "So I will protect you from bullies until you graduate from this school, but what would I get?"
"Well, I am designed-"
"Other than your upcoming supposed to be a golden finger. Something about you that I can rely on."
"What? Love knows no boundaries! How can you ask something in return for a poor Nap?!" Benny said, showing his puppy eyes.
Zoey palmed her face with sheer disappointment. She looked at Benny and smirked, "Yes, love knows no boundaries. So let's suppose we are in bed. Can you afford me?"
"Whoa, dude! Calm down. There are still mountains we have to climb first. But..." Benny said and adjusted his glasses with rosy cheeks, "I believe in myself and the metal rod down there."
"Is that so...?" Zoey smirked.
Zoey then looked around and saw a metal pipe. She picked it up and firmly placed it between her hips. With slight pressure, she bent the metal pipe easily with her hips.
Benny's jaw dropped when he saw the absurd strength gap between Zoey's tungsten-like ass and his wiggling sausage.
"You see, I am a bitch with an itch. If you don't have the balls to satisfy me, don't ask me out." Zoey said and broke the metal pipe like a toothpick and tossed it into the trash. "Now you understand?"
"...yes, ma'am." Benny nodded.
"Good." Zoey smiled and nodded. However, her smile soon disappeared when she felt something. Her complexion went pale as she became petrified. She felt something crawling on her neck. With shivering eyes, she looked at Benny and asked, "B-Benny... C-can you please...look at my neck?"
"Oh, yes." Benny nodded, looked at Zoey's nape, and picked a crawling insect. "Don't worry. It is just a grass millipede. They are harmless." Benny smiled and gently placed the 4 inches long crawling creature on his arm that soon crawled under his sleeve. "There you go, buddy! Guess you want a warm place to stay." Benny smiled and raised his head to describe such a magnificent creature, but Zoey vanished like she never existed.
Benny chuckled lightly and sighed. Both Zoey and Wendy had high-level Origins, Goddess Athena blessed both, and ironically both have a phobia of bugs, yet one helped him, and the other bullied him.
Benny looked at his normal-looking concrete house and sighed. The smile on his face vanished, and he removed his glasses, crushing them in his hands before throwing them away. He then walked inside the house that his parents left behind.
