Next Wizard

The old man turned his gaze to the brightest points of light, "The Big Dipper is a guiding star, his appearance shows the arrival of 'The Guide''. The Pleiades Cluster is a guardian star, its appearance signifying the arrival of the growing season, 'The Beginning of Happiness'. The Coma cluster is a star of darkness, a sign of the coming harvest failure 'beginning of destruction', "said the old man, moving his eyes to each of them. "The appearance of the Big Dipper constellation is not time-bound, the Pleiades star cluster are bound to the Taurus constellation. Whereas the Coma star cluster are bound by the Coma Berenice constellation, which sometimes appears next to the Leo constellation." "So, Dad, is this a good or bad thing?" Asked the youngest, staring up at the Pleiades star cluster. The old man looked back to the point of the Big Dipper constellation, "Good or bad prediction, it does not determine the outcome of the future. Because the future is a branched branch, the ends are uncertain. We can only peek at one of the branches indicated by nature. Because of that will we, have no meaning. Good or bad fortune, everything returns to the choice of everyone who has a natural will." After hearing that, the brother wasn't sure why, he continued staring at the Coma star cluster. * * * Just to tell everyone that this is my first story that has been postponed and must be overhauled. English is not my native language. I planned 100 chapters throughout this book and I really started writing it because I wanted to read it myself. There will also be some grammatical mistakes and some plot holes consider this a rough concept. I basically at this point lol went well so far until I plan to come back later to fix small things. things like speeches and paragraphs I sometimes miss things. being gentle is the first time for me. oh lastly, i plan to update as much as possible once a day. If I'm excited, I will update a chapter or two a day, but if not, I will try at least three times a week.

Prolog

On a peaceful night, accompanied by a twinkling star, a bright crescent moon in the corner of the sky, the chirping of night-shifting animals. However, this peace and beauty do not apply anywhere.

The faint sound of the steps of several people who hurriedly echoed on the marble floor. The sound was increasingly clear leading to a closed room. While in the room there are waiting for some people who wear gold robes with beautiful motifs coiled along their robes.

"Greekk," came the sound of the door opening which made everyone in the room avert their gaze in the direction the sound came from. In an instant, people have positioned themselves to make way for some people who have just arrived.

"How is it, Chief?" hissed one of the people who had been in the room for a long time, when he looked expectantly behind someone wearing a golden robe wrapped in a dim light.

All eyes in the room were fixed on someone now facing them all. The atmosphere of the room was so quiet, leaving only the small sounds coming out of the blue light which became the only light that illuminated the dark room. The room was so closed that the light from outside could not slip in when the only access to the room was tightly closed.

The atmosphere of calm still lasted a few minutes in the room. There was no sound coming out of the mouths of the people in the room. Many people hold their breath, afraid to make small noises that disturb others. All eyes are still on the same person. Waiting for something that will affect the lives of many people.

"Aqua Ericto spegne," said the Chief, pointing his left hand towards the blue light. A moment later the blue light was like broken glass which then spread in the air and slowly disappeared before it touched the floor.

The Chief immediately turned to face everyone who had been waiting for him. While others immediately position themselves after realizing that the Chief is facing towards them.

For a moment slowly, the Chief noticed the people around him. He looked into the eyes of everyone in front of him. Look carefully at the look on their faces and the light of their eyes, wanting to judge the minds of those who surround them. He then took a very deep breath to dispel the doubts and worries which currently continued to spin in his chest and head.

"Everyone...", a hoarse voice that was refreshing but still showed firmness and wisdom that ended the silence in the room.

"Something like this has never happened in the previous decades. The current situation may be the first time since this era was formed, after our founder shaped the world we live in today. It is very difficult and maybe even impossible to fight it by people like us today. Only people like the founder can overcome it. Or, In fact, the problem we will face is worse than the problem faced by our founders, "the Chief said with a long and heavy sigh.

"However ... 

Do we just need to be hopeless?

Give up and let this event happen? Waiting for a miracle to come by itself?

Heroes appear to protect people and even save humans?

This is not the time to regret the situation and hope the past will come to help. Hope the heroes come from nowhere to help. It is true, 'Sometimes a situation will force the creation of a hero' but 'What's more, a hero forces the creation of a situation'. Right now, are we just waiting for the situation to create a hero, which is somehow uncertain? Or make ourselves into heroes who will change this situation? For me, I will try to be a hero, whether it will work or not. How about you guys? "

"Become a Hero !!!!" answered everyone with a roar like a lion.

"Good. Right now the most important thing is how we find solutions to the problems we will face. What ever how we can find it. Until then, this information must be kept secret. If it leaks, then you all know how it will affect the world," pause the chairman, staring up at the ceiling, was so dark.

"As a first step, let's try hard to find a solution as soon as possible, and must remain silent. You understand? Let's do it now !!!" The Chief shouted loudly as he stepped out of the room followed by everyone in the room.

~ One day after that ~

The night sky is very dark. Lightning flashed around him. leaves and dust flew, hitting every building, vehicle and people passing by.

I paused for a moment. 'Huh, look at the approaching dark clouds. I think it will rain soon, like I have to hurry. "I muttered to myself.

After passing the grocery store, I turned into a narrow alley. A few meters later, a dull shop appeared at the end of the alley. In the upper corner there is a wooden hanging and it says "Toko Boekoe Bekas".

There were two people sitting on risban chairs in front of the store, giggling from time to time. Next to them was a bulldog tied to an iron across the shop door.

Before entering the shop, approaching the bolldog, "How are you, omniscient?" I say while rubbing his head.

If I can pay attention to the two people sitting next to me now. Then I would see both of them grinning when I listened to my words before.

After finishing, I walked open the door and entered the shop, I stopped for a moment. See stores that are somewhat ignored. Lots of piles of books scattered everywhere. Dust covered almost every inch of the store.

In the corner of the room was a cashier's desk, and a chaotic old man sat behind him. A gray shirt that looked tortured by the size of the old man's swollen body. Clumps of curly hair, and thick beards adorn his head. He looked enjoy reading a book, while occasionally sipping a cigar in his left hand.

I approached him, glancing at the calendar in the corner of the cash register. The calendar has a mouse image on top, and the bottom shows December with a red circle on the 25th and a black circle on the 4th.

I stopped and thought for a moment, remembering something in my head.

"Old man, how are you? How's your favorite rat?" I said while showing a mocking smile. My eyes are still fixed on the old man who has an abnormal expression even though it only lasted a little.

I turned my gaze out of the shop, "Looks like the rainy season is coming, sir! You have to prepare your shop to be quiet. Let me guess the visitors today, 29 girls and 4 boys. Is everything okay, old man? "

After hearing my words come to an end. The old man grinned strangely as he closed the book he was reading and looked at me deeply, "That's up to me, boy!"

"Come on, old man, I'm a buyer here!" I say while putting reddish-gray yellow paper with a picture of a lake with 10,000 numbers on the counter. As well as tapping my index finger three times at two-one intervals at the counter.

"What business do you want, boy?" he said when he took out the paper I had put in and put it in his pants pocket.

"Then is there a new book that was not popular in the newspaper recently, old man?" I asked, glancing at the bookshelf.

The old man's face showed a slight smile, "Who is the publisher?"

"Arka Apungkas," I answered firmly.

"Fourth shelf, third row, you can search there!" he said, turning his eyes back to the book he was reading before.

I walked to the shelf he said, searching the books in the third row, until I found a book called "Srengenge Sempoerno". I pulled the book off the shelf, and put it on my jacket.

I returned to the cashier's desk, laid a somber blue paper with 50,000 on the table, "Thank you old man!" While stepping out of the store.

Once outside, I turned around to look briefly at the shop earlier. Actually this is not an ordinary bookstore, or it can be said, this bookstore is just a cover. This shop is a branch of an underground organization that specializes in information and shipping services specifically named "The Omniscient". There are three stages before you can do business in this store. The first stage, one must show that he knows that this place is a branch of the organization. The people in front of the shop are actually guards. If someone does not pass the first stage, they are the first enemy to face. Even though it made it past the guards, it was certain that this branch would soon disappear. The second stage, mentioning the password that has been placed in an inconspicuous position in the store, this password changes every hour.Third stage, tap the index finger three times. The interval for the purchaser of information is one-on-one, the sender of goods is one-two, the recipient of goods is two-one. After the third phase is passed, then the business can start.

I sighed and took a step to the alley door. I took the book from my jacket. And I slowly opened the cover of the book, and turned page after page, until the chapter titled "Eclipse", I stopped. Tear in the middle of the page. then I found plastic stuck to the yard. I removed the plastic and saw that there was a writing on it.

I read carefully written on plastic. After a while, I smiled with satisfaction because I found the sentence, "The eclipse has really come, the animals have been worried because of their instincts. Therefore I hope to meet with the Tribal Leader now, to say that the Eclipse will arrive soon. But I am not can get out of this forest, therefore I can only hope that the wind can convey my message."

The plastic, after being read, immediately burned by itself. I closed the book with a happy face, stepping into the crowd on a fairly busy street. I approach the trash can near the shop. I put this book in it. Because this book has already been used. Only the information that I got was useful. But for 'us' this information is not only useful but also an early sign of victory. And for me, this is also a sign of revenge.

It's time for the next step. But before that, I had to give this information to the Tribal Leader, I muttered to myself as I happily walked into the crowd on the road.
