trapped under Jamal's arm, he could not free himself. Suddenly, Jamal woke up and stood, finally allowing Rayan to escape. Both of them were heading back to the dorm, but a problem arose: how could Jamal enter while looking like a completely different person?
Rayan got an idea and said to Jamal,
"Climb the wall quietly, and I'll enter normally. Then we'll meet in the room."
Rayan entered normally, but when Jamal came in, he made an indescribable noise, which made the guard investigate. Rayan ran after the guard, realizing Jamal was the cause. When they arrived, they found nothing.
The guard asked,
"What caused that noise?"
Rayan looked for Jamal and saw him perched on a tree branch that was about to break. Rayan pulled the guard aside and said,
"I heard a noise coming from the other direction."
The guard ran off, and Jamal fell. Rayan shouted,
"Can you enter more quietly?"
Jamal replied,
"I'm still not used to it." Then he added,
"You still haven't told me what's happening to me. You owe me an explanation!"
Rayan said,
"Wait, let's go to the room first."
Rayan and Jamal reached the room with difficulty due to Jamal's enormous size. Jamal looked at himself in the mirror, but it could only show his upper body.
Jamal said,
"Look at my abs, look at the size of my arms, wow!"
Rayan said,
"Look at your face if you want."
Jamal lowered his face to see himself and shouted in surprise,
"Is this me? I've become amazing!"
Rayan said with envy,
"If I knew the stone would make you like this, I wouldn't have kept it for you."
Jamal laughed shyly,
"I forgot, you need to explain what happened."
Rayan started explaining everything to Jamal. Silence fell, then Jamal said,
"So you're saying these stones grant superpowers?"
Rayan replied,
"Yes."
Jamal continued,
"And your power lets you see the illusion of a strange man, and this made me strong like this?"
Rayan:
"Exactly."
Jamal asked,
"And the illusion is here with us now, and his name is Risen?"
Selin shouted,
"Selin is not Risen!"
Rayan:
"Yes."
Jamal stood up and hit his head on the ceiling.
"Ouch!"
Rayan said,
"Stop making noise!"
Jamal approached Rayan,
"You need to see a specialist."
Rayan looked at Jamal,
"Do you have another explanation for what's happening?"
Jamal said,
"What you're saying is insane!"
Rayan:
"I can convince you."
Jamal:
"Alright, go ahead."
Jamal sat on the bed, which broke under his massive weight.
"Damn!" he exclaimed.
Rayan performed the binding ritual, and when he touched Jamal, Jamal saw Selin. Upon seeing her, foam came out of his mouth and he fainted. Selin proudly said,
"Am I so beautiful that seeing me makes someone faint?"
Rayan:
(￣ー￣)(￣ー￣)
Rayan poured water on Jamal, and he woke up. Jamal said,
"You convinced me, but now you need to turn me back to how I was."
Rayan:
"I can do that, but only for a limited time. I can't remove the stone from you because it has become part of your hand."
Jamal:
"Alright, fine."
Jamal said,
"But I won't join you to fight those people."
Rayan:
"You have no choice. You are bound to me, and you must follow me."
Jamal:
"I can protect myself, can't you see what I can do?"
Rayan:
"Yes, but what if they attack and I tell the stone to stop working?"
Jamal returned to his original form, a short, overweight boy, looking astonished.
"What did you do to me?" he asked.
Rayan:
"That's one of my stone's powers. Now get back to work!"
Jamal, frustrated, said,
"You're such a jerk!"
Rayan quickly put on his pajamas,
"Tomorrow is a day off, we'll go on a trip."
Jamal:
"Where? Are you going to sleep? You still haven't explained everything!"
Jamal turned to Rayan and saw him asleep.
"Damn you!"
Morning came, and Jamal was confused about what to wear. Rayan prepared himself, while Jamal was still lost. Eventually, he put on his widest shirt, but it was still tight and almost tearing.
They went to a clothing store. Rayan said to Jamal,
"Buy clothes that fit you, better than this."
Jamal bought new clothes and another set in the same size. When the shop owner told them the price, Jamal was shocked and whispered to Rayan,
"We can't afford this!"
Rayan:
"Don't worry."
They paid the amount.
Jamal said,
"Let's go back to the dorm."
Rayan:
"No, after what happened yesterday, going back would put us in danger."
Jamal:
"So, where do we go?"
Rayan laughed,
"We'll buy a house."
Jamal was surprised,
"What? A house? Do you mean a game?"
Rayan:
"No, a real house."
Jamal:
"Where did you get that?"
Rayan:
"I forgot to tell you, after I found the stone, I inherited a huge amount."
Jamal:
"How much?"
Rayan:
"800 billion."
Jamal couldn't comprehend it and wandered, completely confused. Rayan and the real estate agent searched for a suitable house. They only found one in an empty area, which he liked. The agent said,
"There are two problems: first, this land isn't meant for a house, it's 12,000 square meters, so the price is high."
Rayan:
"The amount doesn't matter."
The agent added,
"Second, it is said that the house is haunted."
