Chapter 51 Slaves

The day tickets to heaven were sold out, all the sinners were banned from seeking forgiveness anymore, as they were left behind.

Isiah has read such a thing years ago, it was something he read in his journey to seek knowledge away from his parent's sick beliefs, what has just happened here reminded him of it somehow.

As the last ascended person went to Emperium, the only transportation center in Delwias Island was destroyed.

There were two types of people around here, those who knew and those who didn't .

When their world was on the brink of extension, people here were still hunting, cooking, buying food, making love, bringing more life to the world…

In those moments, people around here would worry about how much food needed to fill their kids' stomachs, their relationships, their next chance to level up.

It was just another regular day in Delwias Island, except for those who already knew about what happened, they were already going crazy as they felt all left out by the people they obeyed and served their whole lives.

The communication system failed to connect the five districts, no one knew what was happening in the other districts.

rumors started to spread in district one because it had the center of transportation, and  some people around here knew about the change in the leveling system

There  was something wrong with people who expect to be treated right after being treated wrong. Those who knew what was happening chose to stay silent about it just for the sake of being considered as potential refugees to Emperium if they showed good manners.

That stupid anticipation filled them with empty hopes for the days following.

Isiah didn't participate in any form of life since everyone left, he didn't want to admit it but the past days made him feel that he was not alone in this world and that he was being taken care of even from strangers who weren't related to him by blood.

Isiah kept on practicing the spell that Ethyl taught him before she left, he didn't want to panic nor anticipate the bad thing that was going to happen, he just made sure that he would keep moving towards his goals even if that meant to keep just moving one single step ahead .

The problem was with mixing energy's that were within him, Jivan didn't explain to him right but as he understood by himself, he had to be ultra calm to control both of those energy's as they were not stable together and the silver bracelet he made him was not that powerful either .

He had to use just Delwias Islands's divine energy but to separate it from the other one was a very hard task to him, he who never used magic before until the age of 16 .

After a week of excessive practicing, he was able to create the flame again, but even then it was not stable yet and it disappeared right away.

He was not even upset about that, he was so happy that he had made progress since Ethyl left.

Not knowing the basics of magic made him struggle a lot trying to make the fire spell from scratch, but he kept on doing it, at least he  was now getting used to the electric tickling caused by the divine energy .

After two weeks, Isiah was able to maintain that flame for a few seconds, he was not satisfied by the the rate of his progression, he would be dead if he continued upgrading his skills at this slow rating.

And that's why he decided to steal some materials in the Eclouxerra institution of magic. When he arrived there he didn't find anyone there. The kids seemed to get tired of waiting for the teachers to miraculously show up to teach them and that's why they all stopped showing up too.

Even then people who didn't know about what was going on, they thought that it was a vacation of some kind and didn't think much about it.

The hallways were empty, the classrooms, the garden, the training spaces…it felt like life was extracted from this place.

Isiah entered his classroom when he passed near it, he sat on his  chair and looked at the board with a straight face.

It felt like a lot of years has passed since the last day he was here.

He sighed then said:" I will level up!"

He hit the table in front of him with his hand then said:" And when that happens, nothing will survive… ME"

Isiah started to search the institution from the lower classes to the upper ones, he collected all the books he found on his way and put them in his class, the items, the portions, the weapons, plants and every single thing that looked important to his education.

He was satisfied with the amount of resources he found there .It was a huge opportunity for him to learn even when it came so late .

He couldn't take everything with him to his house, and that is why he chose his class to be his hideout now that everyone interested in this place was gone .

Those days felt like the silence that comes before a storm, everyone was confused with this unusual situation, and they were all anticipating the next move from the higher ups.

Even then they chose to stay and wait for the higher regions to tell them what to do in such a problem.They were enslaved to them, it was a long slavery cycle that started centuries ago.

People from other regions started to travel towards region one, because in their point of view it was the only region that didn't have natural catastrophes which seemed abnormal and unjustified.

There was something mysterious about region one that none of them knew, since the beginning it was the center of the districts, it literally was the center and all of the other regions where on its borders, it was surrounded by the four other regions.

And it was linked somehow to Emperium, and that is why the seventh king was living in his palace  there .

The first two weeks of evacuation were calm to the point where everyone who knew thought that it was okay to stay  behind.. They didn't know what was waiting for them .
