The Life Hacker System - 40 Death Appearing Before Her Eyes Fen's POV

(This chapter takes place at the same time as when Taka is infusing his ability.)

–

Fen’s POV

–

Fen felt that Taka had been acting shifty all day but couldn’t figure out just what he was up to. Seeing him enter the dojo, she went to follow only to realise that he had locked the doors from the inside.

Fen couldn’t help but wonder just what he was up to.

Not able to enter, Fen decided to walk around the surroundings.

Ten minutes passed before there was a change.

–

Taka infused his first ability.

–

Fen was frozen still as the presence from inside the dojo pulsated with power. She quickly realised the person releasing it was Taka but this still didn’t quell her shock.

–

Taka infused his second ability.

–

The presence of power grew from Taka again. Fen felt the air becoming heavier as her worry began to grow. Soon the sound of Taka’s screams echoed in her ears. Hearing his screams Fen grew frantic finding anyway she could to get inside the dojo.

Due to her overly enhanced senses she could hear everything happening inside, from the floor cracking under Taka’s weight to his bones breaking and mending themselves.

She jumped to the roof finding a small hole where the roof overlapped and forcing her way through it. Finally gaining entry into the dojo, she jump down landing on a small walkway that surrounded the inside of the dojo.

Quickly focusing on Taka, who stood in the centre still screaming in pain, which she wasn’t surprised by as she’d already heard it, what surprised her were the changes taking place with Taka.

She could tell his body was undergoing some kind of transformation but as his skin glowed, she could tell it was something beyond abnormal.

His screaming now ending, she heard him let out a sigh of relief.

Seconds passed only for the screaming to begin again.

–

Taka infused his third ability.

–

This time the screams were different, almost like growls of a demon. Just as Fen wanted to do something to help, she heard the cracking of the floor beneath him.

Her eyes widened as Taka grew into a monster before her. Though shocked, she couldn’t help but admire the being in front of her.

The ferociousness he emanated reminded her of the beasts from myth.

His size and strength reminded her of the tales of titans who once walked the lands of fables.

His teeth that of apex predator.

His mane of hair only emphasising his face and physique.

As soon as it came it went, as his body shrank and condensed becoming stronger and stronger as it did.

Fen could only stare as power pulsed from him.

She saw him crack an awkward smile, as he looked toward the floor beneath him.

Taka stood there as if lost in thought. Seeing this she thought everything was over.

Oh how wrong she was.

–

Taka infused his Fourth and final ability.

–

“BOOOOOOOOM”

Fen was thrown back with the sudden release of power.

Looking around her, she picked her jaw off the floor in shock as lightning cracked the air and the building shook.

The pressure in the air began to rise to a degree mortals wouldn’t be able to stand, thankfully she wasn’t mortal.

Then she saw it.

The Wolf…Fenrir or more commonly known as herself. She was shocked stiff only to see another aura next to it forming. Panic set in as she felt death step out of the shadows and into the world of the living.

The silhouette in the aura formed into a being even she wouldn’t dare go against let alone be able to beat.

The reaper…

The grim reaper.

When it appeared the air grew cold and a shiver was sent down Fen’s spine.

The pressure once again grew as a change took place with the auras presented behind Taka.

They began to shift. The wolf standing to the front, the reaper standing behind, wrapping itself around the wolf protectively, as it wrapped itself around the wolf Fen felt a strange sensation, as if Taka was hugging her, protecting her. She no longing felt the chill or fear from the reaper only warmth and love.

Taka’s aura continued to grow atomising anything that got too close to him.

Taka’s aura reached its peak.

That’s when Fen felt the change.

Nature began to hum in excitement; that excitement focused solely on Taka.

With the final release of his aura the dojo was vaporised which didn’t affect Fen, as she landed and hid so Taka didn’t see her.

Seeing the destroyed dojo one thought ran through her head.

‘Just how is he going to explain this?’
