The Stepping Stone Chronicle

Blink! Blink!

Matthew was still a bit confused how he died ,I mean he shouldn't have died.

(Matthew pov)

*sigh*

"The helicopter crashed into the east wing of the medical hall and I was in the north wing of the engineering hall, so how?"

He said out loud.

The two halls were more than 4 blocks away from each other.

Adjusting his emotional state and masking his facial expression, he looked around the white room of nothingness and finally noticed others that were there with him.

There were seven excluding him, the prettiest girl in neurology department Sasha.

Right beside Sasha was her sister Natasha who was busy consoling her best friend Akeno.

Akeno is a pretty half Japanese girl and one of the few friends of the sisters.

Opposite the girls were a group of three boys Kyle, Micheal and Joe or Joaquin.

In between the two groups is a boy,who can be fairly described as handsome,the boy in question is Leon the genius.

Abandoned by his mother at a young age,Leon lived with his grandma as far as he can remember, at age 15 he made his first million.

Age 17 received multiple tech awards,age 21 as a company called Omni-tech that can rival that of apple,Samsung and the likes.

He is what you describe as the man all want to be like.

.

.

It been a few minutes since we've been discussing with,a beautiful goddess who gave all a choice to be reincarnated into a fantasy world or thrown into the wheel of samsara and be reborn without any memories.

She also gave us enough time to cope with the fact the we are dead and gone.

Being the angsty teen they are,they agreed and were blessed with gifts.

After the blessing Kyle attacked Leon and challenged him to show his gift.

Leon refused to show it and Kyle mocked him for that.

"Fine since you are so scared I'll go first."

Kyle said.

" Blade of gleaming light,

In your presence, joy takes flight.

Ancient sword,

with power imbued,

come forth!!

Joyeuse of Charlemagne."

Lightning sparks of gold covered Kyle ,his entire aura changed and his eyes seemed to have sharpened.

A beautiful magic circle of red and gold appeared beneath him,and out of that magic circle emerged a longsword.

Joyeuse, a sword steeped in history, exudes an air of elegance and prestige.

Its hilt, fashioned from ornate materials, bears embellishments of gold and precious stones, showcasing a meticulous craftsmanship. The guard of the sword carries intricate patterns, and the pommel is often crowned with symbols of royalty or mythical significance.

Holding the longsword a figure of a powerful king appeared behind him;exuding an aura of courage and nobility.

Everyone was in awe, not expecting Kyle's gift to be that strong.

"Now you."

Kyle said with a sneer.

Leon noticed Sasha look of expectation and decided to get it over with.

'Well let's give the lady a show,shall we?'

Leon stretched forth his hands and chanted:

"By ancient steel and noble might,

emerge into the light!

From lakes and legend, rise once more,and grace this world with your presence,

All hail,

Excalibur!"

The area surrounding Leon changed,it became cool and serene,and you can even hear the faint whisper of the sea coming and going, a small puddle of crystal clear water appeared in front of Leon and a hand came of the puddle holding the legendary blade.

Excalibur,

a blade forged in the fires of myth, boasts a regal and awe-inspiring presence.

Its hilt is adorned with intricate, golden filigree, and a pommel that radiates a noble brilliance.

The blade itself, honed to perfection, gleams with a silvery luminescence, embodying the purity and power associated with the legendary King Arthur.

As it catches the light, Excalibur seems to resonate with the tales of valor and honor that echo through the ages.

The entire area became tense and the smell of gunpowder became prominent both boys looked ready to attack each other.

Eager to test the might of their gift.

The goddess overseeing them raised her brows in amusement.

Clap!!

The goddess diverted their attention.

"Time for you to go."

She waved her hands and sent them forth to the new world,not even giving them the chance to say goodbye.

"Uhh,what about me?" I asked.

"You can drop the facade now it's only two of us here." The goddess said.

Shrugging my shoulders I agreed.

"How much time do we have?

[3rd p.o.v]

The goddess sighed loudly and lowered herself to Matthew height.

"More than an hour."

She answered.

"Well that not to bad."

Matthew said and began tapping the air.

Matthew took a quick glance at the quiet goddess whose head was down and ask :

" Having second thoughts?"

"YOU kidding!!"

She said in a loud voice,with eyes filled with stars and a smile as bright as the sun;she continued:

"Not only do we get to rebel against those egotistical a-holes,I get to leave these paradise themed prison."

Shaking his head Matthew wondered why he was worried in the first place.

[⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️]

[External forces are trying to breach into Lavanear.]

[Redirecting back up energy into defences, T-minus 34 minutes before breach.]

The entire area became quiet.

"....."

"....."

Matthew glared at the red face goddess.

"I thought you said we have more than an hour."

"I....th..."

Pinching his nose bridge,Matthew once again sighed in annoyance.

"We still go through with the plan,try to compress your essence and see if you can add other benefits for yourself."

"Okay."

She said looking more confident.

Matthew once again began tapping empty space.

"Where the hell- oh there we go."

He waved his hands seemingly trying to retrieve something and a key transported to his palms.

The key was a medieval looking one,it was dark brown in colour with accents of white on it the edge of the key was fluttering,unstable,always changing shape.

"Finally,let hope it works."

Matthew took the key and placed it in between his finger,then he pointed the key towards a space in the empty room.

The half of the key submerged itself into the room like it entered a keyhole.

He rotated the key anti-clockwise and.

CLICK!

.

.

"What n-

Matthew suddenly disappeared from where he was, gone without a trace,not even a spacial fluctuation could be detected.

.

.

.

..

In a place between nowhere and everywhere,everything and nothing,the void and creation.

Matthew could be seen wandering round a huge temple like structure,inside the structure was a lot of books,like a lot of freaking books.

" The more I look at it,the more I feel this is a goddamn luxurious library."

Matthew kept on wandering the library,he had a feeling is steps were being guided or rather the library paths were subtly changing,shrugging his shoulders he just kept on following the change which was more noticeable than before.

After what seemed like an hour Matthew came to a stop.

"Took you long enough to show yourself."

He said to no one in particular.

"I had to make sure you came here without ill intentions."

A smooth feminine voice echoed behind Matthew.

Turning back he said.

"Long time no see Eve."

"Geh!it's you."

Although he couldn't see her face because she was talking through the floating orb,he could still hear her evident tone of disgust.

"What do you mean 'geh', I have you know I found the key so am a patron."

"Whatever just pick a book and be on your way."

"Actually am in a bit of a scuffle so I want...."

I raised my fingers indicating I want 2 books.

"Uh,you have the gall to demand 2 books from me! after what you have done."

Saying so the entire library trembled and the orb turned red,the area surrounding the orb became heavy and it became even harder to breathe.

'Lets see what you do now.'

While still struggling to stand, Matthew said:

"Tsk,tsk first of all you....ca..can't kill me,secondly why kill me?.... I have a juicy deal for you,one that benefit both of us..what do you say?"

"Am listening."

She said retracting all the power she put out before.

Catching his breath, Matthew began negotiating.

"All the remaining season's of Attack on beast."

" *scoff* if you think that will change my-"

"And season 2 of j.j.c with figurines of Gojo through the years and an exclusive live size doll of daddy Nanami oh, before I forget an adult bl version of O.R.V."

"..."

"....."

Yep you heard right the all powerful librarian of the supreme record is a weeb,yep a weeb obsessed with hot male characters,a perverted female weeb.

"Are you thinking rudely about me?"

"Nope,just your imagination."

Sealing the deal, she guided me to books I can pick and I did,we discussed a lot mostly me trying to wring some information off her.

"Get out."

"Fine."

He began walking away from her and stopped.

"I left a gift for you,hope you love it."

With that he was teleported out of the library.

"Wha-"

Eve noticed the "gift" a long pink looking thing in a box with a note on it.

"Knowing you probably be thirsty after watching all the stuff,use this to relieve your self-

"Bastard!!"

Eve screamed out in anger.

She was about to incinerate the paper but decided to read it all.

"Fyi it can change it size and girth to any character you imagine "

"....any character."

Eve held the box with care.

(She came out immediately after he left.)

"Diana change my schedule and don't disturb for 2 no 6 days,yes 6 days should be enough."

Eve said in a hurry as she was rushing to room.

What she did who knows,what will happen I don't know,bit am sure 6 days from now she will be a happy woman.
