7 The Kiss gone Wrong

Alex was still in the process of accepting his new reality.

He was still figuring out the Abyss eater that looked like two human mouths merged with his palms.

'What the heck is that bird saying? Summoned to another world?', Alex wondered as he glanced at his hands.

There were two human-like mouths emerged upon his palms. It was very much alive when he tried to touch it. Apparently, these mouths are called as Abyss Eater as per the information by the talking raven. There were inscriptions of black marking on Alex hand which is said to keep those mouths under control.

'I don't know why is there a mouth's stuck on my hand or how I end up in the nowhere of a desert with a talking chuunibyou crow. I even pinched myself to check if its a dream but the pain felt very much real. So this couldn't be a dream.'

Than Alex looked around his surroundings than his eyes again fell on the talking raven sitting on a rock, nearby. It was nonchalantly sitting there as it kept a constant gaze on Alex from a distance.

Their eyes meet and they stared a stare off. Alex glared at the bird intensely while the bird looked back at him with a cold stare.

After a few minutes of staring race, the bird asked,

"What's with all the glaring? If you have something to say, out with it already."

Alex continued to stare at the bird without saying a word as he thought,

'The last time I remember that I resigned from the bank and headed to my apartment. Then back when I was heading the road, I was crossing the road. Just when I heard loud honking and a big speeding truck headed my direction, after that everything was blank and hazy. So am I dead? Have I really been transmigrated to another world?'

"Alright so tell me why did you summon me here?", asked Alex.

"Oh, I wasn't the one to summon you. You were actually summoned here by the orders of Nudar, the god of the underworld.", it then let out a sigh, "It's a long story but lemme tell you the shorter version. You were supposed to be joining the mighty Nudar's army in his big rebellion against the gods. That was until you lost your control and devoured him and his entire army with your Abyss Eater. And with that little stunt has led chaos on all three realms.", answered the birdie as it took a sigh.

"I have no clue what you're talking about.", replied Alex as he looked puzzled.

"Lord Luminescence shall explain you in greater detail, the first thing we need to do is head to our base.", said the birdie.

"Hey doesn't this hand look similar to Deidara from Naruto?", asked Alex excitedly.

"Deidara? What's that?", asked the confused raven.

"You kidding me? Deidara was one of the Akatsuki badasses from the manga Naruto, the world best mainstream manga of all time! You don't even know that? You are a chuunibyou crow, you should know that at least.", said Alex with a disappointed tone.

Deidara was a fictional character based on a popular manga called Naruto. He also had two mouths on the palm of his hands where he could infuse chakra to create explosive clay.

It's not like everyone knows this, only a people who watch/reads anime/manga would have known. So, of course, a talking bird in another world would definitely won't be informed about this.

"Stop wasting time! We need to get moving from this place. We have to head south where our ride is waiting. It shall take straight to our base to meet you with Lord Luminescence. You're last week antic's have caused quite a turmoil in the three realms. Your life is in danger! So be thankful for the kindness Lord Luminescence." scowled the bird, but it seemed Alex wasn't paying any heed, "Hey! This is some crucial information, what are you doing!?"

Alex was busy doing something with a wide grin on his face,

"Check this out!", cried out Alex, "They're smooching. Hahaha!"

He joined both of his palms and the two mouths on his palm touched each other which looked like as if it were doing a liplock. It was a very strange sight and somehow Alex found it funny.

But the bird was terrified and suddenly flew upwards away from Alex,

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

"A french kiss? I don't know but it's hilarious, right?" asked Alex as he laughed it off.

Suddenly a strange reaction started to happen. The two mouths opened their jaws wide opened and strange gust of wind started to exit from their mouth.

Alex was puzzled with these strange events,

"What's going on? I can't pull my hands apart, it's as if they are stuck!"

Then soon a black like a particle emerged out of the two mouths and started to gather in between the space of Alex's two hands. The dark energy looked like smoke but pitch black in color. Once it gathered around between his two hands, it started to create a shape like a ball.

As soon as it took a shape of the ball the gust of wind changed direction. Instead of the wind which was blowing away was now getting sucked within the sphere itself.

"Pull your hands apart! Come on, boy! You can do it." cried out the raven flying above Alex in a distant.

Alex tried to move his hands but it seemed his both hands were stuck to the black ball,

"What is going on! What's happening?! This..."

The black ball of energy started to grow and even Alex hands started to engulf in the dark energy.

Soon the dark energy grew bigger and bigger as it swallowed Alex and the entire surroundings. It looked like a massive ball of dark energy swirling within sucking all the air, rocks and everything it could take in. The ball of dark energy grew almost three storey building tall. But soon it stopped and it started to shrink.

The bird flew high in the sky as it watched in a distance.

But soon, the black sphere disappeared.

In its place was Alex who was sitting in a big crater in the center.

"What just happened?" asked puzzled Alex as he sat in the center of the crater.

The dead tree, as well as the ground itself, had been sucked in by the black ball of energy. Everything that black energy touched was sucked within and vanished except for Alex.

Alex grabbed his head in shock,

"My head feels wobbly. I felt like I had a ride on a rollercoaster or something.", but as soon he touched his head the mouth on his hand started to munch on his hair, "Ow-ow! You little shits! Stop eating my hair!"
