WHAT THEY TOOK FROM ME

HATRED FOR ME

I woke up quite earlier than usual. I mean I was anticipating today already, I really want to get that power and be the overlord. I got out of bed and did my daily routine and I walked down to Ryan’s room not without getting on people nerves though. Opened some doors to some rooms I thought was Ryan’s thereby getting on people’s nerves. I knocked several times but I got no response so I took it as my cue to enter.  And behold my so innocent eyes was Ryan’s well-built body. OMG he is not only handsome but he’s got a good body. I wish my fingers were on his body.

“Don’t wish too much cause it can’t happen.” Ryan said

“Hun?” I asked.

“You wished your fingers were all over my body right?” he asked the obvious

Gosh am really embarrassed right now.

“No, I was thinking…um…um……..when are we gonna start training?”

“Let’s go meet the PT first and know what’s up before we conclude on personal training.” He said

“I don’t even know what PT means.” I stated.

“PT means power trainer. Actually I don’t know if he has trained someone with no powers at all because everyone got their powers from birth.” He said.

If he was trying to put my hopes up, he failed. I mean if the PT hasn’t trained anyone who doesn’t have powers to unleash their powers how can I trust that he will accept me talk less of help me unleash the powers I feel they are hiding in me.

After we had breakfast, we walked to the training ground were other trainees and trainers were. I don’t even know who the PT is. I think martial trainers are different from PTs. Immediately we got to the training ground people stared at us and murmuring were all I was hearing. It didn’t take much time before the attention I had was drifted from me and now the guys are back to their training while the girls are drooling over Ryan.

Men! It is undeniable this guy is f*****g handsome but some ladies should have some dignity left.

Look who is talking, have you forgotten how you embarrassed yourself this morning. My subconscious mind is back.

its been a while since I have heard from you hasn’t it? I mocked it and luckily it helped

Yeah my subconscious mind is right after all I was wishing I had my hands on his perfectly built body. f**k me I didn’t know he is an empathy. Well I know now don’t I?

Not long after we got there an old man in his 60s came up there and everyone made a bow for him. I am guessing he is the boss here.

“Whoa!!!! The infamous Overlord decided to pay me a visit after all. I suppose you want something from me.” The old man said. Turns out he is the PT (power trainer)

 Yeah he is right. If I wasn’t in need of his help to get my powers I wont be here. I bet I would even know he exists.

“Actually, I need your help sir. I am given an ultimatum of 3days to prove that I am the Overlord so I was thinking you might be of help to me.” I said. Why is everyone listening to my discussion with the old man? Need they learn courtesy? The old man scoffed before he talked.

“Your answers to my question determines if I will train you or not and you need to answer me honestly. Do you believe you are the Overlord? And are you ready to lay endanger your life in this cause of battle?” he asked me.

Honestly speaking a stronger part of me feels more of like an outcast like I don’t belong. I don’t think this place is meant for me. Putting aside feeling like an outcast, I am definitely not ready to put my life on the line with all the talks of impending dooms. And why is it even called impending dooms? It is not as if it is waiting for the Overlord before the dooms start. They make it sound like it is the doom of the Overlord. Am I ready to be doomed? Only if I can get a fortune read.

“Maybe Maybe not.” I replied. I am not sure if I am ready to die for the cause of humanity.

“If you are not sure then I am sorry I can’t be of help to you and with immediate effect I want you out of my training ground.” He ordered me out. Ryan tried to talk to him for me but he wasn’t willing to listen. I got frustrated and left. Few hours later, Ryan came to meet me.

“I guess your training has ended for today.” I said more of like asked.

“Yeah it ended earlier than usual.” He said. There was this awkward silence between us, before he broke it.

“I know you are disappointed with the way the PT chased you out of the training ground but you should know that he didn’t mean any harm he just likes to train those that believe in themselves and their potentials.” Ryan is trying to soothe my suppose pain with words.

“I don’t even know what I am feeling anymore. Do I believe in myself or not? I mean when that video of me spread in school I almost believed I was the one in that video. And not only that video but my life has been way worse. I have been through some downs many people don’t know because I am always smiling. All my life I tried to fit in but I don’t fit in anywhere because I am an outcast. Even here I am an outcast in so many things. I am the only one here with no powers, the only one born of a non-powerful being and probably the only one from Nigeria. The last one is a joke but what if this is how I meant to live, never able to fit in.” I ended my long speech amidst tears.

I mean how worse can my life get right now?

“Follow me.” Ryan ordered.

“to where?” I asked

“just follow me.” He said.

We walked and walked and I kept whining about where we were going to and how far it is. We finally got there. It was a magical field filled with so many colourful birds, the leaves ever so green, the grass moving slowly to the rhythm of the blowing breeze. I almost didn’t notice that there was a river not far from there. The river water is alive as blue as the sky. We savoured the moment and after a while I broke the beautiful moment.

“How did you come about this place?” I asked

“When I was wandering the first day I got here.” He said

“Can’t you be more explanative? It won’t hurt to talk you know.” I said

“this is about me. I brought you here for you to know something. Everyone has their purpose in this life, be it the magical or non-magical being. We all fit in this world thought there are ups and downs and guess what, we enjoy the ups and if we survive from the downs, we learn from it. Know what you want and trust me you will fit in wherever you choose.” Ryan motivated me.

“That was a long motivational speech.” I said to him. Silence!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the long silence, he stood up and said to me

“Whatever you choose be sure not to regret it. Stand with your choices.” Ryan said again and started walking away.

“You not coming?” he asked me

“I will go in later, I wanna stay here for a while.” I answered him

“Okay, but make sure you come in early cause it is getting late.” He advised and I nodded in affirmation.

I started to reminiscence on what the Old man asked me and what Ryan told me. I think they are right, I don’t have to struggle to fit in, I need to prove that I fit in, I need to find my purpose. I scaled the cons and pros of me becoming and not becoming the overlord and I decided it might not worth my life. I don’t need to sacrifice my life for the cause of humanity and it then I decided it is time I get serious with my life.
