20 Awakening Edited

Emily noticed Taka's eyes opening and immediately informed Snow.

Snow dashed in only to notice that Taka's eyes were the same color as when he had gone berserk yesterday.

Snow pulled Emily back and observed Taka for a while.

Taka wasn't moving just staring at a single point at the back of the room.

Thoughts and memories continuing to race around his mind.

Maya's smile bloomed and faded in his mind over and over an uncountable amount of times.

Rage began to boil as he remembered the person responsible for his heartache in his past life.....

Isaac Joseph.

His urge to kill once again began to ignite, only to remember one important fact....

Maya wasn't dead in this life. In fact, he hadn't even met her yet.

With this sudden realization and gamers mind kicking in any urge he had faded back into the depths of his mind, along with his eyes returning to their original color.

Seeing his eyes return to normal Snow relaxed but didn't completely let his guard down until Taka spoke.

"How long was I out?" Asked Taka.

"Three days you lazy git." Snow reply with a taunt.

"Well I did do all the heavy liftin' I thought I deserved a rest." Taka replied back with his own taunt.

Before long they were laughing.

"Had me worried their kid, you alright?"

Snow asked with a deep sense of concern.

"I'm good Uncle Snow, just a side effect of pushing myself too much."

"What happened out there, kid?"

"I don't know if I'm honest Uncle Snow. I just.... Sort of....Lost myself...."

Taka's voice faded.

Snow could see the sorrow in Taka's eyes and motioned for Emily to leave the room for a moment.

Snow walked over and patted Taka's back.

"It's alright Kid, it's alright. Don't worry anymore."

Feeling that Snow was trying to comfort him made Taka feel better.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. More importantly, has everything been cleared up?"

"Yeah, all done and dusted."

"That's good to hear. What about my parents? They must be worried?"

"I've already contacted them to tell them you would be staying a few more days. There's nothing to worry about."

Taka smiled mischievously.

"WOW! Look at you being all organized hahaha."

"Well, I am the mighty mercenary king after all."

Taka was still laughing as he replied to Snow.

"Hahaha I bet Emily made you do it really? Didn't she? hahaha"

"Well, yea. . . . I mean NO! Wait how the hell did you guess that?"

Snow answered without thinking which just made Taka laugh more.

"Ahahah it's obvious that you would forget something like that hehe."

Snow just looked at him stupefied before bursting out laughing. Over the last couple of days, he had missed this kid and his witty remarks.

Their laughter died down after about ten minutes of joking around. Taka became serious.

"Snow, I need a favor?"

"Just ask? No need to be so polite with your Uncle."

Taka smiled inwardly.

"I need you to look for two people?"

"Who?"

"Isaac Joseph and Maya Rose."

"Understood but I already have some information on Isaac Joseph. My only question is why do you need it?"

Snow watched and waited for Taka's answer.

"Well, that's simple....."

Taka spoke in a voice that was filled with hatred and rage coupled with many other negative emotions. Gamers mind barely keeping his rage in check.

"....I'm going to destroy him and everything he holds dear."

The temperature of the room began to rise as Taka again began experiencing flashbacks of his past memories, his rage reaching barely controllable levels, his breathing once again becoming hoarse.

Hearing what Taka had said Snow inhaled a sharp breath.

"Understood, I'll prepare all the information I have and I'll look into Maya Rose for you."

Hearing Snow managed to center Taka's mind and pulled him out of his blind rage.

"Thank you, Uncle Snow."

Seeing the sorrow return to Taka's eyes, Snow knew how much this meant to him. He'd decided to get the information Taka had requested whatever the cost.

Before he left Snow obtained any bits of extra information off Taka that would help him find Maya and Taka held nothing back. With all of the information, he'd got Snow assured Taka that it would be a simple matter to find Maya which finally brought a smile back to Taka's face.

Before leaving he told Taka to rest until Emily came to give him a check-up. Taka simply nodded to his suggestion and lay back down next to Fen, stroking her soft fur.

-

One hour passed.

-

Emily came to perform Taka's check-up.

The results were obvious, he was suffering from extreme exhaustion which came as no surprise to anyone considering he'd slept for three days.

Emily completed his tests and let him rest for a while longer.

With nothing better to do and time on his hands to spare Taka decided to practice with a few of his skills.

First came [Telekinesis].

Picking up the knife that was leftover from Snow's previous meal. Clearly, Snow had spent most of his time caring for Taka as he slept.

Without further ado, Taka activated the skill.

The knife floated before his eyes for a few seconds before agonizing pain arose making him feel like howling.

Taka managed to suppress his cries of pain. After a minute passed the pain faded.

Confused Taka didn't know what to do. Never experiencing pain from using a skill before he had no idea what to do next. There was also the fact that he had a passive skill called [Pain Tolerance], realistically speaking he shouldn't be experiencing any pain what so ever. Not knowing what to do he decided to check with the system.

Opening the system he realized right away what the problem was.

-

[DUE TO HOSTS BERSERKER STATE BECOMING ACTIVE, SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY IN STANDBY MODE UNTIL HOSTS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STATE HAVE RECOVERED]

[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! IF HOST TRIES TO ACCESS SKILLS WHICH ARE NOT PASSIVE, HOST WILL EXPERIENCE EXCRUCIATING AMOUNTS OF PAIN]

[HOSTS RECOVERY TIME: 2 DAYS]

-

Taka simply lay there staring at the ceiling before sighing.

"Well, that explains that then."

With nothing better to do, he began to think. Memories of his past played within his mind, happy memories and sad ones. Falling into a state of reminiscence he began to sort the information in his mind; it wasn't like he had anything better to do.
