《The Transcenders》Chapter 5 - The Fall
Advertisement
“Dear passengers, please remain calm and evacuate the vehicle. The emergency doors will soon open.” The bus’s emergency system had started counting down “Emergency doors opening in 3 seconds”. If the doors opened while they were inside the bus, they risked getting swept out and dying even quicker.
“Grab a hold of something!” ordered Miss Han.
“3… 2… 1.” *Whumpth!* The emergency doors slid open. Everything and everyone inside of the bus was sent flying. Even the bus driver. She had lost her consciousness since the start.
Rico, Aaron, and Miss Han seemed to be the only ones left. Their only hope was for someone or something to rescue them before the bus crashed on the ground. However, not everyone could resist the air’s pressure.
“Ah! My hands are tired! Oops…” Rico’s hands let go of the seat that he was clinging to. He started flying away.
“RICO!” Aaron went after him.
*Whoosh! Bam! Grab!*
“Phew! I managed to get a hold of Rico’s hand, but what now? Shit!”
*Grab!*
Miss Han had followed after Aaron. She grabbed his leg and extended her right hand. I can’t mess this up!
*Grab!*
Miss Han managed to grab a hold of the rear of the bus. “Don’t worry. I got you!”
However, her hand slipped. “NO!”
Aaron’s magic was depleted, Rico and Han hadn’t learned any magic. The void was their enemy. It seemed like they would keep falling for about 30 seconds before crashing onto a building's rooftop. The only thing they could do was await their death. Or was it?
The miss tried to find a solution. She couldn’t. “Ha~ does anyone have a way to get us out of this situation?”
Aaron looked back at her. “Um… I do have something. It worked with both Rico and me at the same time, but I don’t have any magic left. And with the 3 of us…. We are too heavy!”

“Then, I guess this is the only way. Goodbye.”
“Miss Han!”
She intentionally let go of Aaron.
Miss Han wasn’t really enjoying the moment, but she had no regrets concerning her decision.
“This is it. I have lived long enough. God, if you exist, please let this sacrifice atone for all the sins I have committed. If this is what I have to do in order to save our guild, then so be it.”
Aaron understood that she was about to die for them. He took the pistol that he had been grabbing a hold of since before he even grabbed Rico’s hand. “Hold on to this pistol! We’ll need your mana! This is the only shot we got!”
They fired the hook and it stuck to a window in a tall building. There were people on the other side having a conference. “We did it…”

How am I Supposed to Save This World with No Power?
Wu Li was but a student trapped in a future he did not want when the Portal sought him out to become the Savior of an entire world. However, unlike any beings born in that world, Wu has not a single ounce of power within his body. Worse yet, he's the fourth one that's been summoned in history and he's got massive shoes to fill. How will he overcome his own powerlessness and become the savior that everyone expects him to be? With a beautiful girl acting as his slightly disappointed yet adorable guardian, a smoking hot rivalling bounty hunter from the High societies out to take his head, and countless other encounters along the way, Wu fights on to become the greatest of the four saviors, while seeding this world with...the principles of science. This is a story set in a world with a rich history of the magic power known as the Wave, and all native species are capable of interacting with the Wave to obtain power in a variety of ways. Think of this as a combination of Dr Stone and Black Clover! I am writing this story using similar structures to anime seasons, and the chapters in itself are structured more like manga chapters. The first two seasons are already planned out, and it is likely going to be daily upload (12 noon EST) of chapters from ~ 2 k words in length during the 'season' when there is backlog of chapters, with a week or two of a break in between seasons if no backlog. If you liked this story, please drop a rating and review. If you hated it, please drop a review and help me get better. Don't just spam a 0.5 rating and leave like a coward lol.
