Chapter 9 - The otherworldly Domain

Johan took his dirtycoat and threw it near the white colour blanket covered bed which is slightly yellowish showing that it he blanked has been used for years.

Though James earned quite a amount of money...

Knock, knock,...

Tap tap,... James walked towards the door. And turned the door know, revealing a mid aged man with visible wrinkles on his face. The striking feature was his eyes that are dark red mixed with hint of black wearing a white shirt with trousers.

He is Michael Stern, the man who helped their father to take of his wife i.e. James' mother Isabella. Isabella has fallen ill when James was 14. For the medications and the necessary to help his mother, John santh lost his Accountant job in Smith Electrical Factory. And he had no hope regaining, after his wife passed, in a long stress and the burden he was met with an accident in the busy road of Loqy Street.

Since then, they grew knowing the pain of poverty and hunger. Only when James joined the Military service, Johan and his brothers family conditions stabilized. They have been helped till now by Mr.Michael.

Michael said in soft tone mixed with some coldness" Is this months payment ready?"

"Yes, Mr.Stern, I got an urgent job to do with in Silverian city. That got really well and I got promotion,the debt will be cleared quickly than we expected." James stated the reason for the delay in payment in polite manner.

Johan who is still standing looked at James' and though to himself that "The recent mission must be very hard,but somehow he got promotion? And is he the only one or is there anyone from his crew?"

"No worries, kid I just came here to congratulate Johan's graduation". Michael took out a bar of chocolate and gave it to Johan.

After some chat, James and Michael sitting in the chair, Johan stood from the wooden stool amd walked to the kitchen and drank water from the steel pipe,seeing the evening sunset and with the windows revealing the opposite shop named the Smoody clothing.

Michael said his wishes again and left with a smile

Not soon after he left,they got two letters from the postman wearing a violet uniform with a pigeon symbol embedded round badge. He got a belt which had silver plate in the centre.

The letter was first opened by Johan revealing the information about his job conformation in Neravy, one of the government dependent company, known as Dukly Service.

The letter revealed the confirmation about his job in the Dukly Service. The letter presented a polite acceptance but it had one important thing to notice.

Congratulations for your survival at the Tomb Keyphase 7. You will be interviewed about your role and participation before 2 hours of your actual introduction to your job.

The letter asked them to come the following Monday morning 9'O clock but actually the time he should have been asked to go was 11'O.

Johan didn't care much about it and placed the letter in the drawer in his desk in his room at the left corner.

The house had 2 rooms with a kitchen and a medium sized hallway. A dining table was to be seen opposite to the rooms in the hallway.

He wanted to take a nice sleep because he is tired from past 2 days and the information he gained when he entered the Dark atmosphere Spacish coloured domain called as "Nebulatrem",he entered. This occurred when he warped at the tomb by the dark power consumed that him.

He layed down on the bed and thinks about the Goche guider he met at The Nebulatrem.

....

[You have entered your Domain]

[You can review the details of your Domain Mechanics after the guide allowed you]

At the vast sky brimming with uncountable stars and a starry night filled with gaseous clouds mixed galaxies specs visibly from the dark liquid ground that Johan standing with the remains of Mesich armor in his body, bleeding here and there, the Domain removed the effects the of healing and instead it started to heal in a way that is too efficient that can't be expressed with words.

[You got access to see your profile]

"Profile? That's what I am eager to see all the way!"

[The relic Memory Rebooter of Golgia has activated]

"What?"

[The forgotten fragmental memories of specific scene has been retrieved by your Brain system]

Memories of the White clothed priest like looking man flooded into his mind. Johans face grew pale as he remembered the scenery of the apocalypse before him.

"What's all this? His eyes let out the tears. The whole space was silent at his grievances.

But somehow the dark liquid around him soothed him and brought him to his senses. It's like he is immune to any mental corruption there.

It's like the air around him is mixing with his bones and blood giving a sense of familiarity. Though he is standing he had a sense of moving forward. That's when he heard a THUD..

Asteroids in space suddenly hitting the Domain shield that is wrapped around a shell like area around visible meters from where Johan was standing. Each emitted a THUD like effect but they trembled and made their way to the side wards not able to hit the Domain Johan was in. That's when Johan heard,

"Lord Dericus, I awaited for your presence, welcome to the Nebulatrem of Astralum sea"

"I can't see you in this dark mister your figure kinda-blurgh...

Johan vomited blood in the dark liquid that is still as plain surface.

"Alter this Domain to your wish master"

The figure who was standing few meters away said in a cold and polite manner.

Johan saw the rocks still thudding outside. He thought of only thing A ship a marine navy ship that his father used to work when he was kid. He is a ship engineer in when Julian is studying. He aspired to become a captain in a ship but...

He lifted his both hands from down to up making the whole liquid around him tremble revealing illusory red stars around him blinking rarely. The liquid condensed into black shining steel and the platform of the ship made into steel black colour shining and reflecting vaguely the stars and the gaseous nebulas in the sky.

The ship is not from the idea ot classical ships nor from the modern ships. It blended both, forming a steam line ship with big shafts and the ropes hanging in side ways of the ship and having floating lanterns which looked like it is made of gold and copper that are brightened the whole area. It was having square holes but they didn't have canons like in army and the mast had a white cloth that is curled and did not seem open, even if the ropes are untied.There were only 3 masts being the middle one larger with an area to watch called the crow's nest. The hull is not visible as the deck floor is made with black wood like tiles. But the important thing to notice is that instead of propellers it had rows of oar which are golden in colour. The amazing gold alternative patterns in the ship resembled a royal ship.

On the deck at the end there was throne and a long bronze table with a purple mat on it.

Johan limped again and walked towards the man with silver armor and angelic golden wings on his back that are not opened. After conjuring the ship. A silver halo appeared above the man's head. His face wasn't revealed.

a being that embodies both celestial grace and apocalyptic power.

He stands tall and commanding, encased in a suit of radiant silver armor that seems forged from light itself. The armor is intricately detailed , sharp, angular, and adorned with sacred engravings that glimmer faintly, as if pulsing with divine energy. Jagged pauldrons spikes and some structures in his shoulders like the edges of shattered stars, and his gauntlets appear heavy yet fluid, designed for both destruction and protection. "He looked like an angle made for war."

From his back extends a pair of immense, ethereal wings made of gold, not soft or feathery, but made of pure, incandescent light and mist, giving off shards of brilliance that scatter like divine fire. Around his head, a glowing halo arcs , incomplete, like a celestial eclipse frozen in motion, radiating an aura of authority and judgment.

His face is hidden beneath a deep hood of white cloth that contrasts sharply with the dark void within. There are no features, no eyes, only an endless abyss broken by two piercing, violet glows that burn with a silent, sentient intensity. The void within his hood suggests he transcends physical form; he is less a being of flesh and more a manifestation of will, purpose, and light.

Every aspect of his appearance carries duality, beauty and terror, salvation and annihilation marking him as a being who stands between the divine and the damned, the ultimate executor of celestial balance.

He opened his mouth and said " I am your guide yet I am your servant, Lord, address me as

"Ricardo Mesich"

"Mesich? It's the same kind as the knight fought back then, it's powers are suppressed back the for some reason. The aura and power when I felt during the first raid in earth is different from the raid...no,Exploration, yes Exploration of the tomb of phase...um 7 I think. This angel like guy must be several level above that one. I don't get it what's happening but I am sure that this is not what I expected when I come to this world.
