The Twin Authors
Chapter 2
In my room
"I did say I will do something but what can I do"?
Next morning, I went to college as usual, Met my friends, Took the bus and things went smooth until we arrive to college.
Kota left his friends to wander the college to find a shelter or something he could use as a safe zone.
He then came across a small locked room, Kota looked around to check if someone was near and then he broke the lock entering the room.
A room filled with dust, and dark with 3 dirty windows.
It was a storage room, There were some water pipes in the ground that could be used as weapons.
*Nice, This place can be used when everything begins*
*in those 3 days, I skipped Lectures and prepare for what was coming, I made a few bombs, Not professional ones but atleast could distract the enemies, Reinforced the room and trained using the katana I had*
The day of the Incidence
Everyrhing was going smoothly
me and my friends in the cafeteria except Nora who left us to attend a Lecture But she came back running.
Nora: Guys, There is something weird happening!
Aaron: What is it?
Nora: Everyone is gone!
Like they disappeared, The Hall is empty and the whole college has no trace of life except us.
Suddenly we heard a strange voice we Turned to see Them.
Goblins of different heights with a Greenish skin, Along with them were grey wolves with red glowing eyes,
In the center there was a Large Red Goblin, A hobo Goblin which Kota believed is the leader of the invasion But along his side was a White wolf with Blue eyes which Made Kota feel a little confused but there was no time to waste.
Gerald: Wha… what are those?
Goblin: Rraaaaaaaaa
Kota: Everyone, FOLLOW ME AND DON'T LOOK BEHIND
(From this point Kota is the one narrating)
We began running out of the cafeteria, I guided them to the room I prepared and once we reached I locked the doors Behind us and place some table along with gerald and Aaron so the doors wont open.
Aaron: what are those monsters?
Yone: Who knows, What ever they are they don't look friendly at all.
Kota: Goblins! Those are Goblins and the one with fur are wolves.
Gerald: Goblins? Doesn't those exist in videogames and fantasies?
Kota sighed and said
Not anymore!, Listen Everyone I want to tell you something.
Everyone looked at me confused and curious.
This is Not the world we used to live in, It's a Novel.
Nora: A Novel? What do you mean by that?
Kota: I Wrote a Novel before, But I didn't get to write the last chapter, and somehow we were transported into the Novel I wrote.
Aliera: Yo-You are joking Kota right?
Kota: No aliera, I wish I could but with those beasts outside, I cant hide this truth, I wont be able to save everyone nor finish this Novel without your help.
Yarelia: So we are not from this world?
Kota: Yeah
Yarelia: what about our families? Did they get transported with us?
Kota: No, When I first got transported here I was able to see a fine Blue line moving around your bodies for few minutes but I didn't see them among other students nor my family so I believe everyone else is just a character from the Novel.
Yone: Let's say you are right, How can we escape the Novel?
Kota: We Need to Write the ending with our own hands, I don't know how but if we follow the plots of my Novel we might find a way.
Jumana: So what do we do now? And what about the Goblins outside?
Kota: This is the first plot of my Novel a Goblins invasion, To Win we need to kill them along with the Hobogoblin.
Gerald: Kill? We never even fought before.
Kota: I know but we have to try, Take anything in the room that you can use to make damaged on those things outside.
Everyone Began searching for something useful
Aliera and jumana took the shattered glass on the ground but they wrapped them in something to be able to hold them like dagger, Yone and Gerald broke Some chairs to use them as a weapon and shield and the Rest took water pipes except Nora who just stayed in place.
Kota: Nora….
Nora: I am scared, I don't know what to do.. *Crying*
Yarelia: it's Alright, its alright, I am here.
Kota: I am Sorry, I Promise everyone will Return to their home safely.
Yone: So, What's the plan?
Kota: We need to investigate first and find out where the hobogoblin stays and then make a plan to take him down.
Yone: So some of us will go outside as scouts?
Kota: Not everyone, I used those 3 days to roam and wander in college and study every possible location, I know how to move without getting caught and even if I did I can escape the situation on my own.
Yarelia: but its too dangerous.
Kota: Trust me, it's more safer than going with someone.
"I will head to find him and come back"
Jumana: wait atleast take a weapon with you.
Kota: Don't worry I got one.
"I received it when we got transported, its in a medal form but I know how to use it"
Gerald: Don't you dare and die.
Kota: Don't worry, By the way I will Knock four times with a regualr interval don't open to anyone unless you hear those special Knocks.
Everyone Nodded in agreement and I left the room to look for the hobogoblin
The cafeteria was Empty except it had 2 Goblins and a wolf.
The wolf smelled me from afar and barked grabing the Goblins attention to me.
Kota: Unsheath!
A Goblin lunged at me, I stayed in place and swing my katana from the right cutting him in half, Then the other Goblin and wolf attack at same time, I dodged the wolf that jumped and stabed the Goblin in head and now it was me and the wolf.
The wolf Ran toward me and so did I with a stab of my katana I managed to penetrate his skull.
I took them down but Made a noise so I had to move before more comes.
I kept searching until I found him in the Parking Lot.
"An open space that's good, Let's count the number"
"25 Goblin 15 wolf and the white one and the hobo Goblin which means 42 in total"
"Alright, Time to Return! "
I knocked on the doors with the special knocked I told them about and entered
Yarelia: Kota! You Alright? Why are you Covered in blood?
Kota: Calm down its not mine, I encountered 2 Goblins and a wolf but took them down
"Anyway, I found the Enemies they are in the Parking Lot, their number is 42 including the white wolf and the Hobogoblin"
Aaron: isnt this too much for some teenagers?
Kota: Don't worry, I am sure we can do it.
Jumana: So what's the plan?
Kota: We will split into 3 groups
One will Fight the minions
One for the white wolf and one for the Hobogoblin.
"Also take those bombs with you, they might be useful, I made them and I hope they work properly"
"Alright here are the groups"
"Nora, Jumana, Yarelia and Yone you guys take down the goblins"
"Gerald, Aaron and aliera take down the wolf"
"And I will handle the hobo goblin"
Jumana: Alone??
"That's extremely dangerous",
Kota: I know but as the reason who got us all in this situation I need to take responsiblility and handle the monsters I wrote.
Everyone Headed toward the Parking Lot and we split as the plan, At first things were going good, As i thought Gerald Group wasn't able to take down the wolf but they was able to distract him.
But suddenly, The hobo Goblin let down a loud roar, Every Goblin whos eyes were yellow Turned to right Purple and became more aggressive.
I didn't have time to be surprised I Lured the hobo Goblin afar to Fight him.
Now it was me and the Hobogoblin in an empty space.
He Moved his club to try and smash me,
I dodged to the right and made a cut in his leg.
I then stepped back 3 steps away from him narrowing my eyes looking at him with fury.
I don't know what happened at this point but my body was moving like it aleady knew how to Fight, I guess that's the effect of adrenaline.
I managed to land mutliple strikes on him and he did manage to hit me with his club mutliple times, Luckily I was able to defend using the katana but I did have a broken arm on the other hand the Hobogoblin was barely standing.
I lunged toward the Hobogoblin to make him believe I will strikes from the front, Then I suddenly Turned and when I reach his back, I stabed him in the nape, Taking his life away.
Kota: That was hard, I need to head back to help them.
And I wish I didn't leave them.
I saw all my friends on the ground, Some where cut In pieces, Some where stabed.
All were life less,
I saw Yarelia who was sitting on her knees placing her hand on the wound in her Stomach.
Yarelia: Ko-Kota…
Kota (Crying): No No No, This is not how everthing should have went.
Yarelia: Live, and finish the Novel and when you do apologize for my family because they wanted me to marry but I didn't.
There were still Goblins and wolves looking at us.
I Led out a loud scream while holding Yarelia life less body in my hand.
I stood up, And i felt like my chest was Hollow my mind was blank, I looked at the monsters and I could see, They felt fear as they Moved backward a little.
I lunged at them and I cut and cut and cut.
Taking every single one of them down.
After the battle ended I sat on the white wolf corpse, staring at my blade that was stabed and standing inside the wolf
Kota: This is not how things should have gone.
"if only I can rewind things"
I then heard a Strange noise and saw a Black window infront of me with a red glowing words
New skill accquired: Author's Authority
You have full filled the requirements to use the skill would you like to activate it?
Kota: Activate.
Once I said that a book and a pen appeared in my hand
A black book that had golden corners and a Black pen
When I Moved the cover the book fliped pages on it's own toward the abilities section
And there I saw A page with my name written on it.
Karim was the Name written, Not Kota,
But I didn't care about this and looked at the abilities written.
1-Author's Authority
2-.....
The book wanted me to write down a new skill, Something to grant myself to help me in the journey.
Kota: Did alfar gave this to me to help me?
"But if he did, Why didn't he give to me from the start? Why did he wait until everyone died?"
"Anyway I need to think about the ability"
"But everyone is dead so what is the point… "
"Hold on"
"If I can write down an ability this means I can give my self something to save them"
"Let's see, They are already dead so healing isn't and option"
"I wouldn't choose necromancy, I don't want my friends to be puppets"
"Which leaves one skill, Revival! "
I was going to write Revival but stopped and thought what if I died, It will be useless then and they will face the same fate.
The an idea stuck my mind, Time travel.
If I can go back in time to a certain point and still have my memories then I can save them, I can save everyone.
I wrote The following in the 2nd ability section
Return in time by death
Suddenly the Book was gone and my body glowed red and a black window appeared
New skill : Return by death
User can go back in time to the last sleeping point whenever he dies.
He will maintain his memories, Consequences and Limits of the skill are unknown
I looked at my friend's life less bodies and at my skill and with a stronger urge I took my blade and stabed myself.
It was painful and my vision was bluring, Things were getting dark and I felt cold
"So that's how they felt"
I closed my eyes and when I opened them
I found myself in college, In the Lecture hall where I last fell asleep.
Beside me was Aaron and Gerald on my right safe and sound.
Yone was on my other hand drinking his coffee cup and focusing with the doctor explanation.
The girls were sitting infront of me all of them were alive and none were injured.
*It Worked! My time travel Worked, Alright!*
*This time I will not let them die, The Hobogoblin, Wolves or what ever I will kill anyone who endanger my friends lives*
