ORION
Near - Death Experience
At least right now Orion is lucky to shy away from that indistinct man. Orion stepped up limping and headed somewhere. But before coming out of the narrow alley, he turned to his right and left, making sure there were no them. After making sure they were not around, he ran a small approach to a rickety shop.
“Excuse me, can I ask this year how many years?” orion asked a faceless man.
“Yes? I don't know, yeah. I don't really remember. Maybe around 2040 or 43?” he thought half-conscious.
Orion took a long breath. Because what the tattooed fat man had previously talked about was the truth. That he rose after 20 years since he died. Seeing himself not dirty because of the ground, it means Orion is not buried at all. Well, it's as expected because nobody cares about it anymore.
“Then, are you also NED?” orion asked while on tiptoes using the table as a focus on both hands.
The man seemed shocked. Then carrying Orion's body and lowering it after he brought it into the rickety shop.
“Don't talk carelessly about that. Are you just getting up now? If yes then remember well what I say,” he said with a serious face.
The man explained several things related to NED (Near-death Experience) or suspended animation. After death and then come back to life with supernatural powers will be referred to as NED Fighters. Most of them will shut themselves off from everyone who is still alive, including to their own families.
On the one hand, there were a handful of NED Warriors who had the blood connecting body and soul. Their blood can raise the dead, and it is precious. If they are found, they will always be traded, enslaved and made a valuable asset for them the NED Warriors.
Hearing that detailed explanation, it certainly made Orion speechless in fear. His desire to die was also hindered if they caught him.
“Then the characteristics of the person who has that blood, how?” ask Orion.
“I don't really know, anyway. But I hear they're always alive and able to avoid trouble all the time. Maybe because of their special blood innate,” thought the man was guessing.
“Can't die again if they're gonna squeeze that blood. So, is it because of the blood that this small body does not want to die? My will seems forced to always be alive, Orion's inner” with a feeling of uneasiness.
“Nak, you have no problem? I know you must have been very shocked to hear that, right? If you want to stay here is okay, because the world of NED is more than just the info I just said.”
“The characteristics of people who have blood are just that?” Ignoring the man's words, Orion asked again.
“Yes, that's all I know.”
Now, Orion understands one thing. If he had just risen already been targeted this way, surely those people would have come back and blinded whether he had that blood or not.
But, clenching his hands together, Orion wondered if it was possible to unleash supernatural powers while NED alone was hard to believe.
“Do not complain so, son. Your strength will probably grow over time. But why ...yeah? There was a little boy who became an NED Warrior. Really sorry.” The man sympathized. He then shook his head with a frown when he saw Orion.
The man also did not expect that there was a child who rose from the dead. Luckily he was not suspicious of Orion whose body shrunk small while his soul was an old grandfather.
“I'm sure he's around here! Find him!”
The loud voice sounded. Orion was startled and immediately fled from there. But the guy with the face of this slash actually blocked him.
And said, “Where do you want to go? Don't be rash, you're still a kid!” the screech pulled Orion's tiny arm.
Orion accidentally hit his thick body. When Orion's legs went weak, he bent his knees in resignation.
“Ha! Look at this gibberish. This child-only NED fighter can what without parents?” The man spoke in a condescending tone.
The man who had previously intended to help Orion was no more. Maybe he was swearing from behind his shop.
“We're both NED Fighters, right? What good is it I was killed?” babble Orion wants to ask for mercy while he can.
The man laughed. The entire population in the city of J-Karta did not budge as well as the weak NED Fighters.
He pulled the collar of the back shirt. Then he said, “There is no mercy for you who have dared to run away from me.”
For the first time, a sense of fear that was more than death was felt. For a moment his body goosebumps until his hair stands all. She was afraid that she would die, but she wanted to die.
“What the fuck? I wanted to die and I gave up this life to be destroyed by it. But ...why do I feel like I have to survive?”
Orion's body was indeed completely out of tune with his mind. Orion is on the brink of a tough decision, between life and death. But what can he do? There's none. Suddenly his mind went blank.
“Can you say what your will is?” The fat man asked again but still it was his intention to ridicule and oppress the weak Orion.
Orion was silent without a plan in mind. Orion's body turned back past him and Orion's legs kicked the neck of the fat man's head. He did this unconsciously.
The heart is racing fast, the flow of blood flowing in the blood vessels feels very fast. His brain is unable to think and only makes Orion's body move instinctively.
The tattooed fat man fell down with just a single strike. Sparks of fire emerged from the body part of the man Orion had just attacked, also with the soles of Orion's legs now standing firmly, resting on the ground.
“Ukh! What did I just do?!”
Shocked by what happened, Orion fled but still the men of the fat man was still chasing him. Orion no longer knew what to do, and over time his breath and steps became heavy.
“Pursue him!”
Bruk! Orion fell unconscious in the middle of the road. They took the opportunity with a poisonous dagger held by one of them.
“He is very weak. Well, his name is also a little boy.”
“Hey, wait a minute!” pinta was one of his friends.
“What are you doing? We have to kill him while he's unconscious, don't you remember what happened to all those NED Fighters who couldn't control their powers? We could be his victims,” he thought.
“Ya, but. If for example he has a blood connection soul how?”
“We take some of his blood. Besides the boss himself told us to kill him.”
