Abyss Extra

One

ILANA

UH ... Where the heck am I?

Dahan dahan akong bumangon at nilibot ang paningin ko sa paligid. Nasa loob ako ng isang magarbong kwarto. The room was so grand and sparkly.

"Ugh!"

I massaged my temples. Did I drink too much last night? Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko. And it's even causing me hallucinations of a grand and luxurious room.

I closed my eyes. Nahihilo ako, masakit ang ulo ko at nanghihina ang katawan ko.

"I'll never drink again."

Natigilan ako nang marinig ang boses ko.

"Bakit ganito ang b---

Jeez, what's this alien languange I'm speaking?! At bakit nag iba ang boses ko. I have a husky voice pero ang boses ko ngayon ay more feminine?

Can too much alcohol cause this? No. It cannot.

Tsaka ko lang napansin ang mga braso at katawan ko.

My limbs looks like ... twigs. And my body, how should I describe it?

Ahh... I look like a skeleton covered in human skin. Walang kahit anong muscle or taba sa katawan ko?!

Sobrang payat ng katawan ko na parang pag humangin ng malakas ay matatangay ako.

Mabilis akong tumayo para sana maghanap ng bagay na pwede kong gamitin para makita ang repleksyon, but I failed to take into account how weak I fell. Kaya naman hindi pa ako nakakaisang hakbang ay natumba na agad ako.

F*ck, nadislocated yata ang balakang at ankle to.

Sinubukan kong tumayo pero hindi ko magawa.

Should I stay still hanggang may dumating para tulungan ako?

Nagtry pa ako ng ilang ulit hanggang sa makatayo ako habang nakaalalay sa bedside table. Lalakad na sana ako nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto.

'Ohh... Who are those handsome guys?'

Mula sa nakabukas na pinto, pumasok ang dalawang naggagwapuhang lalaki. Ang isa may itim na buhok at ang isa may .... blue?

"Ilana, we have called your parents to take you back to the state." Saad ng lalaking may kulay blue na buhok.

"Huh?" Yun lang ang nasabi ko.

He is speaking the same alien language in which I spoke earlier pero naiintindihan ko ito. Strange.

And he called me, Ilana, which is not my name.

"I'm sorry pero ---

Bumuntong hininga ang blue haired guy. "Listen, ilang beses ko bang ipapaliwanag sayo na kahit gaano pa kataas ang mana levels mo, your body cant completely contain it more so control it? Atat na atat ka na bang mamatay?"

"Ano bang---

"Laridgus,"

Napakunot noo ako sa tinawag ng dark haired guy dun sa kasama niya. Laridgus? What a unique yet familiar name.

Bumuntong hininga ulit yung Laridgus. "Look Krion, Ilana and I basically grew up together. Alam ko kung gaano katigas ang ulo niya. She's a troublemaker. Hindi yan makikinig kung hindi ----

"Wait!" Sabay na napatingin saakin ang dalawang lalaki. Nakataas ang isang kilay ni Laridgus habang si Krion ay nakatilt lang ang ulo habang nakatingin saakin.

"Did you just say, 'Laridgus' and 'Krion'?"

Napakunot noo ang dalawa."Yes? I am Laridgus and he is Krion. Is your head not working Ilana?"

Napatakip ako ng bibig dahil sa gulat. Malalaki ang mata na napatitig ako sa dalawang lalaki.

Laridgus is blue haired and Krion is dark haired but in reality, he was blonde but using magic to make it black.

And a weak childhood friend of Laridgus ... What was her name again?

No more importantly, did I transmigrated to the novel, Abyss?!

I SLOWLY opened my eyes. Once again, I was greeted by a sparkly room but unlike earlier, there are 2 people inside the room right now.

"Ilana, are you okay now?" Tanong ni Krion na nakaupo sa isang tabi at nakatingin saakin.

"After asking for a mirror, you started cursing then fainted." Mahinang tumawa si Laridgus na parang nang aasar pa. " How can someone still be alive with a weakass body? Moreover become a troublemaker?" Pang aasar pa nito.

Lumapit naman saakin si Krion na umiiling iling, not agreeing with Laridgus' remarks.

" Don't mind him. He's just worried."

"What? Who's worried?"

Hindi ko pinansin ang dalawa. I organized my thoughts and all the information I can recall about the novel.

Abyss, a fantasy novel I read when I was in highschool, Krion and Laridgus are main characters from that said novel.

I glanced at them, their description from the novel is certainly what they look like.

Krion has black hair and black eyes but in truth, he is blonde and has heterochromia, a condition in which his eye color are different from one another. Krion's left eye is violet while the other is green. It was a peculiar combination but, there is a reason why it was such. And also why he is disguising himself as a dark haired beauty. But the most decisive trait I was able to tell he is Krion from the novel was his clover shaped birthmark on the back of his left ear.

On the other hand Laridgus has blue hair and red eyes. I wasn't able to tell earlier because of the distance but once I came face to face with him, his eye color was crimson red, just like the color of blood.

In this fantasy novel, different hair colors is common but red, violet and gold eye color is not. They represent something.

Red colored eyes is associated with the demon race, Violet is for archmages and Gold are for people with divine powers.

Krion, who has one violet eye which represent archmages, cannot become one because as of the moment he is 'incomplete'.

Laridgus' family was said to be descendants of a demon but the truth is they are cursed by demons.

Those information are all from the novel.

But the most important right now is my role. Who am I in the story?

As Laridgus have said earlier before I fainted, we grew up together.

But I cannot remember a character whom he grew up with. The only person who can be considered as his childhood friend was the daughter of his nanny. That daughter is a very weak girl but has a lot of potential in magic ....

Wait ...

That's me.

Fuck! I'm that weakass girl whose name was never mentioned in the story?!

But that girl, suffered so much because of her mana levels and her frail body as well as the dangers that came to the main characters during their academy days and the Keczna family arc. She did not die but she suffered so much.

Wala akong ibang nagawa kundi ang mapa face palm dahil sa mga nalaman ko.

WOW. I WAS transmigrated into a novel but to a very useless body. Just wow.

Haaaa...

No matter how much I want to dwell on this problem, I can't. I have to know how far are we in the original novel.

Ngayon, nasa academy pa sina Krion at Laridgus kaya marahil ay wala pa kami sa second half ng story.

I looked at my uniform and robe na nakasabit sa rack. 2 lines and grey robe. Maraming arc ang naganap habang nasa academy sila lalo na nung maging mga Second years ang main characters.

- Magic training arc

- Ancient Tower arc

- Mephalia festival arc

- Red Dragon Delphia arc

- The Core invasion arc

Inilista ko ang 5 major arcs sa second year nina Krion.

Sa lahat ng to, may posibilidad na masaktan ako or worst mamatay ako. Hindi ko man gusto ay siguradong magbabago ang storyline dahil may isang variable, Ako. I shouldn't be here but I was somehow brought here. A person who knows the future of this world. Hindi man namatay ang tunay na Ilana sa story, maaaring mamatay naman ako.

I recalled every bits of information I can remember from the novel na pwedeng maging advantageous saakin.

Para makaiwas ako sa sakit at pagkamatay isa lang ang kailangan ko.

"Absolute barrier."

Ilana has immense mana, kaya ako mahina ay dahil doon. If I use this absurb amount of mana properly, pwede itong makatulong upang mag improve ang aking health condition at para sa absolute barrier.

Absolute Barrier is a barrier type magic that can only be done with the help of 2 archmages na may mataas na mana levels. It was an all powerful barrier nothing can penetrate, just like the name suggests, it was Absolute. Pero dahil nga sobrang laking mana ang kailangan para maactivate ito, isang beses palang nakikita sa realidad na to ang absolute barrier.

Pero dahil si Krion ang ating bida, nagawa niya ang absolute barrier ng mag isa. Maybe it was a priveliege of being the protagonist.

But since, hindi ako ang protagonist, ni hindi ko nga makontrol ang mana ko, kailangan ko ng isang medium para magawa ang absolute barrier.

And I have all the information needed para sa medium na ito.

I stood up and went to the door. Bago ko pa ito mabuksan, may nagbukas na nito muna sa labas.

"Where do you you're going, missy?"

Kumunot ag noo ko nang isang unfamiliar na lalaki ang sumalubong saakin. From the tone of his voice, mukhang kakilala ko siya. I examined his face.

Red hair and red eyes. Two deep dimples.

"Radephon."

I called his name. He tilted his head as a response.

This person is Radephon Keczna, Laridgus' cousin.

But, Radephon and Ilana, Laridgus' childhood friend shouldn't be close with each other. He hates everything about his cousin so naturally, he should hate Ilana.

Hmm...

"Hey, weakass, I'm asking you."

When I didn't answer his question, he used his index finger to push my forehead.

"Are you deaf? Naluto ba sa apoy na ginawa mo ang utak mo?" Aniya.

Wait, apoy?

I frowned dahil iniisip ko kung anong arc merong apoy sa school pero mukhang na misinterpret ito ni Radephon.

"Wait, naiinis ka ba? Naiinis ka na sa sinabi ko?" He then laughed.

Hindi ko siya pinansin.

Apoy.

Apoy sa second year.

Ap--- Ahh! Nasa first major arc palang kami ng second year nina Krion sa Academy.

At the Magic Training Arc, a certain unnamed character's magic power became uncontrollable and cause a fire at the training grounds. Doon ipinakilala ang dalawang major character na magiging healer and supporter ni Krion sa team niya in the future.

And during the commotion, an international crime group called Lemegeton infiltrated and stole the magic core of the academy. But thanks to our munchkin protagonist and his comrades, they were stopped and imprisoned.

If nandito na si Radephon, ibig sabihin tapos na ang scenario.

I glanced at Radephon na kanina pa pala nagsasalita at nang aasar pero hindi ko pinapansin.

"Not only are you stupid you're also ---

"Okay.."

Yun lang ang sinabi ko at nilagpasan ko siya.

"What?" I heard him pero hindi ko siya nilingon. Busy ako. Kailangan ko nang ma-obtain ang medium na kailangan ko dahil malapit na ang dagerous arcs para saakin.

AFTER OBTAINING a pass slip from the admins office, lumabas ako ng academy. Wala akong choice dahil hindi ko kontrolado ang mana at magic powers ng katawan na to.

I rented a carriage, the basic form of transportation at nagpahatid sa pinaka desolate na lugar ng buong kingdom, ang slums.

Pagkarating doon ay umalis na kaagad ang carriage dahil sa takot. Maliban sa tirahan ng mga mahihirap, kilala sa mga mamamayan ng Yneveal Kingdom ang slums bilang lungga ng iba't ibang klase ng criminal kaya iniiwasan itk ng nakararami.

Nagsuot ako ng face mask na tumatakip sa kalahati ng mukha ko mula ilong hanggang sa baba. Nagsimulang maglakad papasok sa isang madilim na iskinita pero hindi pa ako nakakailang hakbang ay hinarang ako ng isang grupo ng mga kalalakihan. Tumigil ako at tumayo ng tuwid.

Nakatayo sa harapan ko ang isang malaking lalaki na may tattoo ng isang klase ng mythical bird sa kaliwang braso. Sa sobrang taas nito ay nakatingala ako habang nakatingin sakanya. Malaki rin ang kanyang katawan kaya kahit nakatayo lang siya ay nakaka-intimidate ito, atleast sa iba. Mukhang siya ang lider nila.

"Walang lugar ang isang bata rito." Ani ng lalaking katabi ng malaking lalaki.

"I came to give a red pouch to the green owl." Saad ko. Nangunot ang noo ng malaking lalaki sa harapan ko. Pinagmasdan at sinuri niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Tinitigan ko din kahit pa nanankit na ang leeg ko kakatingala.

Matapos ang ilang minuto pagtititigan, yumuko ang lalaki gayundin ang mga kasama niya.

I smiled at them. These 5 guys may look like some hooligans but actually, they're mercenaries hired by shop owners in Black Market hiding in the slums.

The codes, red pouch and green owl pertains to the level of importance of a transanction and who am I going to transact with. Red pouch is 2nd highest.

Isinuot ko ang hood ng robe ko. Naglakad na ulit papasok sa iskinita nang hindi na ako hinaharang mga lalaki.

Napagdesisyunan kong pumunta sa slums, more accurately sa Black Market dahil nandito ang medium na kailangan ko for the absolute barrier.

I walked throught the alleyways hanggang sa makita ko ang shop na hinahanap ko. It's small store with dark green roof.

Upon entering the shop, I saw two customers looking through the displayed items and a man sitting on the couch inside.

I walked to the owner. "I'm looking for a ring."
