her in rage. The rage was a distraction to confuse Mikael. He rushed towards her and knocked the gun out of her hand, throwing it to the side. He punched her once, then twice. He continued punching her until she went unconscious. He grabbed the gun and let off three shots into her dome.

Later he would find an apology letter from Mikael that told him everything about her plan to be the only person to survive. Blyke grabbed the note and his supplies and barricaded himself inside the bunker.

Chapter Eleven "The Death Element"

“His element is a spawn of Satan! We should end him now!” A woman shouted

“We’ll become criminals!” A man retorted.

“Let’s leave him in the slums! Nobody will look for him, and if they do trace him back to us then we’ll deny it!” The woman shouted. 

 The man and woman were the parents of Zake, their only child with a rare and terrifying element known as the death element. Zake, unlike the others, held an element that many saw as an unholy element. 

The holy elements are fire, water, light, earth, and space while the death element is considered Satan’s element. The Holy Church would track down the death element holders and execute them along with the parents. To condition people in revealing the identities of death element holders, the Holy Church would release books that painted them as future demons lords or other fowl beats. 

This destroyed Zake’s childhood as his parents decided to throw him to an orphanage where he was bullied for his weird behavior that was created because of Zeke concealing his element from others. This led to bullies, Mike and Arnold, who lived normal lives with their common elements of fire and wind, bullying the loner Zake for his weird behavior without knowing about their element. Zake couldn’t fight back as the bullies were physically stronger than him and he couldn’t use his element to fight back. He was tormented with physical and emotional abuse for over half a year before he snapped and killed both of them by snapping their necks with his bare hands. 

His death element activated as he went into a fury, crushing their necks. Afraid for his life, he fled from the orphanage and the police, who were suspicious of him after learning of his element, and ventured to the Forest of Death, leaving Greyhill, his home town, behind. The police tracked the evidence, eventually, realizing that he escaped Greyhill and traveled to the Forest of Death. They now begin their pursuit.

Chapter Twelve "Final Moments VI"

Day Six

 

Most of my food and water are gone. The smell of her dead body is everywhere. It’s been following me. Every room I enter it’s there. Why? Why do I deserve this? My bunker has been finished, but yet I don’t believe it’s enough. Was the bunker even important? I don’t think so. Sorry, my head hurts. Wait, why is there ringing? Is that knocking? Help! I think somebody is here! Wait, is somebody actually here? Where did this gun come from? I’m hungry. I am not sure if I’m hearing this. Wait, I think I hear Mikael. Or is she dead? I’m not sure. I don’t remember anymore. But the voice continues to call me. I think she’s alive. Maybe she needs my help.

She’s dead. She stopped speaking when I got there. I tried speaking, but I ended up slurring up words. Wait, is it sllurring? Or Slurrrring? I can’t remember anymore. I don’t think I need to anymore. I’m sleepy. I think I’m going to sleep. Wait, voices are coming from the gun. It wants to sleep with me. 

Now the gun doesn’t look like a gun. It looks like a tasty hotdog. I need to eat something. I wonder what this thing is sticking out from the hotdog.

Chapter Thirteen "The Mage With Sealed Powers S1 E3 - Citrate"

Zeke lowered Hellbringer to the ground, kicking Enix out into the town of Citrate, a small stone town with a population of two hundred people. Zeke waved as he raised Hellbringer, leaving Enix behind. He then headed towards the actual destination for dropoff. 

Now left behind, Enix looked around, noticing the town’s citizens coming out in bunches to inspect him. A blonde pig-tailed woman, who stood at the same height as Enix and looked to be the same age, walked up to Enix with a spear in her right hand. “Who are you?” She asked.

“My name is Enix and I was sent here by Merlin.”

“Merlin? You must be a summoned one?” Enix nodded his head as the blonde woman raised her spear in the air. “There’s nothing to be wary of! This is a present from Merlin!” She declared. The people around her cheered, raising whatever was in their hands---even their babies or tools. She then motioned for Enix to follow her, leading him to a small-sized brick mansion. A butler and two maids rushed out of the mansion to bow their heads towards the blonde woman and Enix.

“Welcome home, Miss Lavtok.” The butler announced with the maids on his right side. 

“Raise your head, Fred. Grace and Holly can raise their heads as well.” She then pointed at Enix. “This is a summoned one. Merlin sent him, so treat him with the utmost respect.” Her staff nodded their heads. Miss Lavtok motioned for Enix to follow her inside, entering the small six-room mansion with two floors and a basement. The staff followed after them, rushing to fulfill their positions. The maids began cleaning while Fred led Enix to his new room with Lavtok followed after them.

 Enix entered his room and noticed that it was enormous; a queen-size bed on one wall with a window on the adjacent wall that looked out towards the outside. The other two walls were blank, leaving room for decorations. The walls, ceiling, and flooring looked to be recent, with no fading in paint or chipped hardwood flooring. 

Enix walked over to the bed and jumped onto it, resting his face in the pillow. The blonde woman barked at him to stand up. Enix stood up from the bed and faced Lavtok. “Don’t think about lazing around while you’re staying here. Today, I will push you to your limits, similar to how Merlin did to me.” She declared while smirking. 

“Yes, Miss Lavtok… I mean master.” Enix shouted.

Miss Lavtok shook her head. “Call me North, not master. Merlin is the only master, I’m, simply, an apprentice.” Enix nodded his head. “Fred, can you tell me what happens when you run out of power?” 

Fred cringed. “The user will feel immense pain that nearly kills them.” 

North grinned at his words. “Perfect, let’s see if you can get used to the pain after a couple of days.” 

Enix’s eyes widened as he gulped down his fear. This won’t be good, he thought.

 

North trained Enix to slowly increase his power limit and master his skills, with his only skill being Creation: Ice. She trained him by forcing him to use up his power and push him to a near-death state. Two weeks of constantly being on death’s door trained his mind and power level. His mind toughened up while his power level slowly increased past the one percent cap. 

Unfortunately, Enix couldn’t access his power level past the one percent cap, which affected the ability of his skill. This, however, fuelled Enix into building up his strength to ensure that his second life wouldn’t end as anticlimactic as his previous one did. Fortunately for Enix, North granted him a futuristic white tactical military outfit with a large red square in the middle of his chest and black outlines running throughout the full outfit. The outfit was padded with bulletproof armor and maintained several buffs that increased Enix’s stats by a small percentage. The slim outfit consisted of thin materials that allowed Enix to run at full speed without being dragged down by the outfit.

A bandit party came close to Citrate, threatening the town. “It seems like the first challenge for Enix has appeared,” North remarked to Fred as they stood on a watchtower that overlooked the entire town. Enix was infatuated with his training that he never caught wind about the incoming bandit party.

Chapter Fourteen "The Mage With Sealed Powers S1 E4 - Second Chance"

The bandit party consisted of fifty riders and ten carriages, who rode at a terrifying speed towards the town. North and Fred watched from the watchtower as the riders closed the distance. The citizens of the town noticed the roars of the riders, declaring an emergency and rushing into their homes, bunkering up.

Enix noticed the chaos and dashed towards the watchtower where North and Fred waited for him. He looked around and noticed that the streets were devoid of life and energy, leaving a vacant and bland landscape. The windows were barred with bars that attached to them while the doors had furniture barring any attempts of entering. Meanwhile, North smirked to herself as the riders neared the town while the carriages lingered behind. “Enix!” She barked from
