《Making of a Gentleman》Chapter-33: Goodbye
Advertisement
After a few days ,
John was happily eating his dinner with his wife and Mom when Erika suddenly smiled said
“I have a good news.”
John and Tara were surprised . Tara instinctively asked “Am I finally becoming grand ma ?”
Erika couldn’t help blush and nodded sweetly. John was taken aback by sudden happiness . He got from his chair and in front of mother lifted Erika from her chair before planting a kiss. He laughed heartily . Tara also joined him in celebration .
But suddenly someone barged in a rush .John slowly let down Erika and looked at the person ,he smiled “ Uncle Peter , finally you chose a right timing . Take a guess , what might be the good news?”
Peter who had serious expression suddenly brightened up and asked anxiously “ Young master ,have you finally reached level 8?”
John shook his head “Uncle ,you only care about my level . Don’t I have anything to do ? For example becoming a father .” John looked at Erika who was standing shyly beside him .
Erika immediately pinched him ruthlessly . John jumped up and down with pain but his smile never faded .
“Uncle , come and have dinner with us . Today is only celebration I won’t let you leave till you are drunk. Call Mr. Mike too .”
John’s Mom didn’t bother to greet Peter as she already knew everything about Devata Realm which was told by Erika. She usually avoided talking to Peter and Mike as if to express her dissatisfaction in some way .
Erika on the other hand knew how they were loyally protecting John so she was extremely grateful to them . She smiled and started arranging another plate for Peter.
Peter seemed very anxious and was about to scream something but somehow controlled his emotions and took a deep breath . “Miss Erika ,thank you but I am not hungry . Young master ,its really urgent can we talk somewhere private.”

Tara became angry all of a sudden ,she was about to criticize Peter but John who sensed something immediately got up and rushed to Peter. When they closed the door from outside ,they could still hear Tara’s blabbering and Erika’s consoling voice.
John looked at Peter who was shivering. He never saw uncle Peter in such state “Uncle Peter , what happened ?”
Peter finally broke down “ Young master , I think many people have already guessed your identity and you possessing the microchip . It’s just a matter of hours before they will find you .You need to escape as far as possible .”
John was stunned .His laziness disappeared and his eyes became vigilant “How did this happen?”
Peter heaved a tragic sigh “Have you seen news ? All of a sudden terrorists attacks have increased exponentially . Our centers are specially targeted . We have already lost 80% of our network . Even Mike with his powerful influence unable to do anything .We are running out of options. Young master how much more points you need ?”
John thought in his mind ‘Eva calculate ,at this rate how long will it take me to reach level 8’
[Dear user , your influx of points have drastically decreased . At this rate it will take 100 years to reach level 8 ]
John’s face instantly lost all colors .Peter had a bad premonition ,regardless he needed to know,
“Young master , how bad is it?”
John spoke every syllable with difficulty “100 years “
Peter directly collapsed on the ground “We are doomed . Our efforts have become pointless now .”
John also felt like his legs gone soft. But didn’t collapse ,he knew if he loose his will then Peter will really loose all hope . Instead he took a deep breath and looked at the vast sky.
‘As a future leader of Sun clan ,I need to be have strong heart . I am the only disciple of supreme being who had left the Devata realm. If I can’t even handle some uncertainty s thrown in my path then I am not qualified enough to live up to my master’s legend .’

‘Eva open suggestion panel .Lets see what my master has to say.’
[Suggestion panel ,
If you are reading this then you might be already knowing who I am and what responsibilities you are carrying . I think you might be very close to ascending to Devata realm and probably facing your toughest battle yet.
But believe me kiddo , this is just a beginning .When you are in Devata realm you will know what I mean . Life is never a walk in the park .It is not only you ,who is undergoing tests in life , as per laws of the Universe, every creature undergoes a period of uncertainty.
You need to understand that everything you are following and practicing are tools to sharpen your Will . A Will is the core of every soul . It is same to everyone . Our universe has given equal chance to every soul to ascend to higher realms but many just worry about puny little things like status and money.
It is our destiny to travel to Higher realms but how many souls can do it? In the history of Devata realm ,one can count them with one hand . Why? Do they lack resources? Direction? No , what they lack is powerful Will . Only way to strengthen Will is going through uncertainties and building your foundation .
You need to be stubborn enough to follow what you believe in despite resistance ,criticism and hatred . Being a leader of Sun school for thousands of years ,what I have learned most is to be persistent in getting things done. If you stick to your Values and persist ,I am sure you can breeze through all the hurdles.
I hope you will live up to my name as my only disciple . Unfortunately I am unable to meet you for now. This message is recorded by me just before I left for higher gate . I don’t know whether I will pass it or not but our only possible union is in higher realm above Devata realm. I will be waiting for you there……..probably.]
John’s eyes turned moist all of sudden .Unknowingly few drops fell like stars in the moon light . He clenched his fists tightly and swore to the sky “Master , I will definitely meet you one day.”
Peter who was already collapsed saw the face of John and felt like invisible energy gushing forth into his body .His blood started to boil . At that moment he saw a leader who will turn the entire Devata realm upside down. He was dazed by the magnetic charm radiated in John’s face which was illuminated by moon light.
John looked at Peter with his red eyes. Peter felt like he was looking at a devil . He involuntarily shuddered .
John said calmly “Uncle Peter, take care of my family . I know what to do .If I ascend to Devata Realm today ,tell Erika that I will be back within 9 month before her delivery .Don’t contact me unless I call you. One more thing ,preserve my body , when I leave . I don’t want to use another person’s body when I face my family again.”
John didn’t even say goodbye to his family . He directly got into Peter’s car and took off.
Peter wanted to say something but didn’t say .He looked at the disappearing car and sighed “Young master , you should have at least consoled your family first. They will literally skin me alive if you don’t show up soon.”

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.
