Distant memories (part 2)

Dan held his hand to his face and examined it like he was a diamond appraiser checking the quality. Everything was back to how it was even the small black beauty spot on his fist.

It was not like he had been healed but time had been reversed for his hand.

Dan looked at the nun whose face was covered. "This is amazing!" he said.

"I thank you for your compliment but it is only possible due to the grace of the go-"

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Dan said. He waved his hand and a portal formed taking both woman by surprise. It was only natural as they had never seen someone open a portal. They only knew about dungeon portals which were already opened and at a fixed place.

"Alright bye." Dan said as he stepped into the portal.

Dan stepped out of the portal in the place he had just been a week ago. The destroyed country of Folulheim. As he looked around he saw some things that were not there a few days ago. The trash that surrounded the portal was not there any more. It was like someone had removed them.

It was not even an alleyway anymore. Dan walked around for a while after equipping his face with a mask. It wasn't a mask but a t shirt that he had rolled up.

There were humans walking around in the city. There were some elfs to but Dan was not in the mood to kill them right now. He noticed a large graveyard with lots of people around them. Some people were lowering caskets into them, some placing flowers at the graves of their loved ones.

Dan looked around and decided he was bored of this country. It was time for him to leave. He summoned the darkness to surround his feet and took to the skies heading east.

"No you idiot, my fire is incredibly hotter than yours by a long margin." A younger Dan argued with a much younger Pedro.

"You fire can barely heat up a kettle of water while mine can be used to forge metal. You and I are not on the same league."

Dan pushed Pedro's chest of the tree they were on and caught him at the last second by the collar. Pedro grabbed Dan's arm and screamed.

"Pull me up before I fall." Pedro shouted.

"Admit it, my fire is hotter than yours."

"Even if I do, it still does not change the fact that mine is still hotter than yours."

"Well, fall to your death then." Dan said.

"Okay, stop! I admit it! Your fire is hotter than mine." Pedro shouted. It was only natural since they were sitting on a tree 30 metres of the ground.

"Say your an idiot and can never hope to compete with me."

"I'm an idiot and can never hope to compete with you. Now please pull me up." Dan pulled up Pedro. Pedro stared at Dan who was smiling happily.

Pedro put his lips before shoving Dan of the tree entirely. He watched as Dan tumbled to the ground and levitated himself to the ground using fire.

"Tch..." Pedro kissed his teeth. Pedro's eyes widened as he saw Dan pick up an axe.

THUUNK!

THUUNK!

THUUNK!

The sound of metal hitting wood and Pedro's screams as he clung onto the branch. "Stop! Stop you idiot!"

Pedro could use fire or wind to propel himself to the ground but he was scared of heights. The main reason why he got up on the tree was because of Dan.

"Gravity orders you to come back down!" Dan said. He swung the axe one last time and the tree broke.

Pedro sat with the ball and chain still attached to him in the dark. He frowned and frantically looked around.

"Fuck! I really am going to die."

Dan had been flying for quite a while. Approximately 4 hours. The sun had set and he still did not see any sight of a city. He had passed by several villages which he occasionally would stop at and get some food and drink.

He landed in front of an inn causing a fuss outside. People flying wasn't that rare but it was also not common. Dan walked into the inn. It was surprisingly empty with only around 20 customers. It was gentle calm atmosphere in which it looked like there was going to be no stupid fights. Dan sat down at a table and ordered some food.

His food was brought to him after quite some time had passed by a one legged man with a peg for a leg. He grunted as he placed the food down and took payment from him.

Sitting only a few tables away were people who Dan had met only a few days ago. It was the party of the hero of blink, Haider and some other guy.

They were arguing loudly which ruined the vibe but Dan did not mind as he was to tired. He ate his food, booked a room and went to sleep.

The next morning Dan woke up feeling refreshed. He had woken up early as he was not that tired. It was time for him to leave. He put on his clothes that he had taken of the previous night and left the room. He went to the toilet and washed up.

Dan walked downstairs and knocked on the window that separated the reception from the dining area. The receptionist was asleep on the chair and was woken up by the sound of Dan tapping on the glass.

She rubbed her eyes and then smiled like a professional although she wanted to strangle Dan to death for waking her up.

"I want to order some food before I leave." Dan said bluntly.

"The kitchen is not open at this time. They open in three hours time, if you want you can wait."

"No, I'm leaving." Dan turned around and left.

The receptionists vein in her head almost bursted. He woke her up for this. There was literally a sign saying the kitchen was closed and would be opened later on.

Dan heard some noises as he walked towards the door. He twisted the door handle and pushed it open only for a familiar figure to be standing there. It was the hero of blink wearing a vest and cargo pants heavily sweating with a giant sword on his shoulder.

Dan and the hero made eye contact for quite a while and stared at each other for quite a while in akward silence...

Thoughts?

Hey what's up guys, please read this if you can. I enjoyed writing this book greatly but sadly I have to bring it to a close. This book will be put on hold for a long time but in the meantime I will be writing other stories to improve my writing.

One of the books I will be writing is called 'I will save my love even if I turn into a monster.' Its a female lead but there will be mostly action. I plan on keeping it to thirty chapters.

Also the other book that I am writing is called from 'Hero to Demon lord'. The mc will be a proper villain. Also his system is not op but he himself is op and gained all that power because of his own strength. I submitted it into WSA 2022 so please vote for me.
