Elias stared at the empty bed blankly, Not comprehending what was happening.
He had just slept with Vi after their nightly activity when he felt the breath of his beloved person stop. Panicking, He quickly woke up and searched only to find no one.
Vi was missing.
"Vi.. Vi.."
Instantly, He felt his whole World stopping. It felt like time was getting slower and the only thing he could feel was madness and grieve.
Just as he was about to grab his weapons and go outside to look for him, The person he was looking for suddenly appeared infront of him.
Breathing heavily, Looking pained and miserable.
"Vi..! W-what happened?"
Still not able to comprehend what was happening, Elias looked at the unconcious pained Vincent with a confused yet pained expression.
He was scared.
Scared of losing his Vi.
He can accept something like a Zombie Apocalyse happening because he still had his beloved person with him but the fact that his obsession suddenly dissappeared and came back unconcious and injured made him lose his mind.
Vincent was his bottom line, As long as no one harms his Vi then he can accept and face anything in this Changing World.
Unfortunately, The World won't just bend for one person's bottom line.
For a week, Vincent was unconscious. Luckily, They had a lot of supplies so they didn't need to go and look for supplies.
For seven days, Elias didn't blink--afraid that the person he loved would suddenly dissappear like before.
He stared and stared and stared...
He listened to Vincent's quiet heartbeat while eating dinner, force Fed him some ready-made porridge and made sure that no enemies would be outside.
Looking at Vincent's pale face made him enter madness but he needed to calm himself, He was still unsure on what was happening and he needed to cool his head and just wait.
He had waited for Vincent even when they in Middle school to when they had become adults.
He was used to waiting--
or more like, He was excellent at waiting.
Finally, After force feeding and making Vincent hydrated by putting water in his mouth and kissing him. Vincent's finger moved!
Elias stayed still, Although he was brimming with happiness at seeing that Vincent was about to get his consciousness. He was too afraid of not controlling himself and rashing out to hug him! He wasn't sure if hugging Vincent too tightly will hurt him.
"Fuck, What happened--?"
Groaning in pain, The awoken Vincent frowned while feeling a headache on his head.
Suddenly, He was embraced by Elias. Although he still felt pain and he couldn't help but notice his white-shirt getting wet.
Inside the tranquil room, There were only quiet sobs that were heard.
Vincent didn't move, He didn't know how to comfort the cying Elias that was hugging him quietly.
"I.. - - I thought you were d-dying or turning into one of those monsters.."
The amount of times that he had seen Elias cry can only be counted by one hand.
First were when they were kids and he stole his favorite toy.
Second were when he had a fight with his parents for the first time.
Third was when he, Vincent got into a car accident when he was 10 years old.
Fourth was when the two fought when he got a his first girlfriend.
And fifth was this--When he woke up after upgrading his ability.
To tell the truth, Vincent just wanted to tell Elias the truth- About the future, his rebirth and his abilities.
But at the same time,
He was also paranoid and scared.
Who wouldn't? After living in the Apocalypse, Everyone knew that the scariest thing is the Human heart.
Vincent had betrayed and been betrayed,
That was how karma works.
That's why even if he wanted to confess and tell the truth, He wouldn't.
He was a coward but so what? Everyone is,
You have to be a selfish to survive.
"Don't worry, Its over now.."
Not explaining or saying as to what happened, Those were the only words that Vincent uttered while being embraced tightly by Elias.
Vincent looked dazed while elias happily grinned and fed him food, Humming and obviously in a good mood.
Vincent however, was not.
'What the fuck is going on?!' He had been screaming and asking questions inside his mind, Although his expression impressively didn't show anything but his mind and heart were too shocked to do anything.
That was because he saw his Level!
Tier-5 Space Ability!
His Mental Ability upgraded and became Tier-2 which was good but he was too shocked to even celebrate!
What the hell is going on!
To know you're Tier, You can feel it when your upgrading. The nuclei inside your brain would develop and allow you to see its state.
He only knew these since this was common knowledge, The Research Institution would announce this so that everyone can know their Tiers and Levels.
Tier-1 Users would only have a single seed-like nuclei inside their brain that would be cloudy and white.
Tier-2 would allow the user's Nuclei to develop color according to their ability.
Tier-3 would then that the seed-like crystal grow and become a little bigger. It would be similar to the size of a peanut.
Tier-4 It would only become bigger.
Tier-5 which is found out was the level of her Space abilities would have the size of a raspberry.
'Even im envious of myself, What bullshit luck! Why didn't i have this before!?' Vincent thought so while dazed at his cheats.
His Crystal Nuclei was at the size of a Raspberry, The Color was Grey all over with the mixture of a Bisque light color on the side.
From what he remembered, The colors and their abilities should be fairly easy to distinguished but there were still unusual abilities that everyone didn't know.
Because just like how he plans to not tell anyone his Ability, Others probably also did.
His Mental Ability is rare and also his Mutated Space ability. heck if those crazy scientists get ahold of his space ability, He would be dissected immediately!
He could feel that his space had changed for some odd reason yet he didn't dare try and go in, He was also still clueless on what his Telekinesis/Mental Ability would lead up to in the future.
Just as he was still probing on what was going on, His vision suddenly changed and there- - He saw his Space upwards while being very far from it.
It was weird, It felt like looking at something from a Third person Perspective.
"Hey, Is your head still hurting? Maybe we should consider stealing a pharmacy.."
Startled by the sudden voice of Elias, Vincent was snapped back into reality.
Glancing at the messy appearance of Elias and the eyes that obviously looked like it hadn't slept for a week, Vincent couldn't help but sigh before replying:
" It doesn't hurt anymore, Lets go and steal tomorrow but we should eat and rest today. Plus, You look awful. I don't like sleeping with zombie-looking people,
Hurry up and sleep"
There some sarcasm on his tone but Elias who knew Vincent only smiled and nodded obediently, Feeling his heart getting warm.
They had enough food to last for a month at Elias's basement and the security on Elias's house was great since Vincent had told him to increase the security.
The two of them slept at the big bed,
Elias was hugging Vincent tightly. He's arms covered his whole being, Afraid that he would suddenly dissappear again but his tired eyes could no longer open and he fell into deep sleep while hugging his Vi.
Inside the dark room, Vincent's eyes opened. Staring at the sleeping Elias infront of him, there were arms tightly holding him and a body that sticked to him close.
'Tch, Look at this kid. Making my heart soft-hearted to the point where i just wanted to confess everything. I Thought i had already been baptized by the Apocalypse but looks like I've got still soft-spot'
Vincent thought so while staring at the face of Elias, His heart had wavered when he saw the strong Elias cry but even if it moved a small part, His Paranoia was bigger.
Sighing at the problem, Vincent simply put it off and focused on trying to do what he did before.
He had already noticed that his physical body seem to not dissappear when he entered his space, It seemed to be the 'upgrade' of his space.
After multiple tries, He finally entered his space though his mind.
It felt strange at first seeing his space in the vew of a Third Person, He can see things so far and everything around him seemed so small.
Deciding to experiment, He used his Mental ability to see if it can work even if his Physical Body wasn't around.
The innocent bunny floated in thin air, Its eyes staring at the situation with confusion while Vincent felt a grin coming out of his face.
'If I can enter the space through my mind then can i absord nuclei crystals inside it?'
Vincent theorized while thinking of various posibilities he can do.
His Space also expanded, Although it was quite small but Vincent was already satisfied at the advantage of being able to use space just by concentration.
Using his Mental Ability, He made the coco beans inside his warehouse float.
The Soil moved and got dig out and coco seeds were put in.
Vincent stared at the Plant side of his Space in satisfaction, It was truly great to not do anything and still get food!
The Fruit trees were growing splendidly,
The Grains that he planted have produced great results, Vegetables were also being harvested in a good speed, The Bamboo farm that he had recently started for sugar have been growing at a nice rate and fruits such as Strawberries, Grapes, Melons were being harvested.
Infact, He was also quite surprised that there were seeds that can grow even when it's not in season or maybe because the air and weather in his space was different.
As for the Herbs, He needed to collect them himself since their too delicate. He didn't wanna rely on technology on herbs since he also wanted to study them.
He was actually concerned that the use of technology would contaminate the air around his space but it seemed that it was not the case.
As for the other-half of his space which were the Animal Poulty, It was growing at a even rate.
He had separated every type of animal in his space and labeled them, He didn't want any killing or unknown variables to occur so even though he knew that feeling hunger inside his space won't happen, He still separated them.
From Chickens, Pigs, Sheeps, cows, etc.
All sorts of farm animals were there, If they could provide him meat then that's good!
He had suffered so much for 4 years in the Apocalypse by not eating meat! Naturally, His main goal this life is to get as many meat as possible!
The most that he produced was eggs because eggs was top-priority in his book,
Eggs are used for pastry, Noodles, and basically everything.
Vincent had atleast a lifetime of Canned foods but he was still too paranoid when it comes to hunger, He didn't wanna starve since that was his most regretful wish before.
Plus, The canned foods would be used to trade Nuclei cystal in the future!
The Sea creatures he had collected were producing well, there were salmons and craps that were multiplying well.
Although he had spent time in space in his mind. The time spent there seemed to be the same as to where his physical body were, In short. Even if his mind was inside his space, The Time spent there would be time on the outside world.
Finally, After four hours of checking his space. Vincent finally felt satisfied and closed his eyes in contentment.
He had vowed to not starve this lifetime so even if his hoarding were considered 'extreme' and extremely selfish by the eyes of an outsider, He would not care.
