Chapter 50: "Had I known"



The next day, several people could be seen hurdle before several computers.

Even with just a glance, one could easily sense the academic aura in the air. The enthusiasm to learn flourished as they all had smiles on their faces as they walked around and crunched the hard maths to understand what had happened.

"Sir a new image has been captured but I don't know how to say this" one of the astronomers in the room said

"What is it?" The man asked eager to see more.

Humanity had yet to truly understand more about the universe. We had images from really far into the universe but truly we had only speculated most of what we know through maths or just ure common sense based on what we have proven.

This event could lead to a whole new discovery. The images captured were displayed on massive boards for all to see. The images displaying a whole new set of stars compared to what they were used to.

These changes were so obvious that even to the untrained but slightly observant eye, they could easily tell that something was different. The astronomers speculated and calculated but found no real answer to the cause of the change.

It was a frustrating experience but also one to learn from. They may have not learnt anything truly important but they had at least learnt that the Universe was one full of infinite surprises.

While the scientific community fell over themselves, trying to understand these changes. A certain group of people in a certain space.

Each on with a grim expression on their face and the atmosphere amongst them oppressive and disturbing.

"Whose going to welcome him into the real world?" One of them asked,

It was a lady, so beautiful even stars seem to be dull in comparison to her.

"Your expressions are extremely terrible for people that just welcomed a new era" another lady said.

Unlike the other eleven, she was the only one who could be seen with a smile. Hearing her words, all turned towards her with their expressions saying all that was needed.

"You smile as though you know not what a new era symbolizes" a voice was suddenly heard as silence reigned amongst them

Turning their attention to the source, they could see an elderly man sitting at the fore most throne. The man though elderly looked as fit as one could be.

His presence alone seemed to command respect and at the moment ghat respect was shown.

"Have you all gone lazy?" the lady suddenly asked

"Watch your mouth!" Many of them shouted, simultaneously.

"This is a new beginning and yet you think not the good parts but the evils we shall overcome... Truly we have fallen" the lady said in a tone that clearly showed her disappointment in the group

"I watch you a last time, watch your mouth"

"No"

"Father?!" Half the group asked in surprise

"She is right, we have slept for too long... It is time humanity remembers that we exist" the elderly man said as he suddenly sat up right.

In doing so, an incredibly powerful aura burst out of his body as a halo appeared above his head and lightning crackled all along his body.

Radiating a holy aura that made all bow in worship. The man changed and so did the rest of the group.

....

While the various factions of the world struggled to understand the changes or found ways to take advantage of it. The cause of it all could be seen sitting in his room.

It had been almost half a day since he entered tier one and honestly the difference were like night and day. One of the major changes was that he no longer needed sustenance.

Or at least that is what Nous said. After his training. The usual result was a massive physical change that would result in him eating the house dry but it was different this time.

After entering tier one, he expected an exaggerated version of the normal result but for some reason, he couldn't even bring himself to look at the food he had prepared previously. "Sir your ride is here" Nous announced as David finally put on his shoes.

"Okay thank you... I wonder what will be going through the person's head" David said as he chuckled.

He had ordered a ride in such a remote place so he felt that with the ritual killings that had been going on for a long time now, the man would feel as though he was entering a ritualist's den.

Even if the person didn't feel that way, David felt that he would feel that way if he was ever in such a situation. While thinking of the man's reaction, David walked out of his bed room and into the sitting room.

On the floor, about ten or more nylon bags could be seen sitting on the floor. Inside each one was either a flask or other food holding containers from ice cream plates to normal foam

plates.

"Thank God smallie is not around" David said happily as he stared at the amount of bags on the floor.

Each one was filled to the brim with food and yes, he had made that much food. It was something he would normally eat more than half of before even realizing it after a training session but now it was like he was forced to eat a whole community's worth of food.

In his family this would be a death sentence. In fact wasting anything was a death sentence however this was beyond that. His mother will erase him from existence if she could.

In order to solve this problem, David decided to simply give away the food. Even if the food was nothing compared to either Fadila's cooking or what he will buy at the roadside but it was still consumable.

*Sighs*

"If I had known," David said as he began picking the pages one by one. Trying his best to carry most of the food in one go
