HIDDEN SKILLS ... [ ]
Each time I leveled up, Hestia upgraded me, making me stronger, faster, even better than most players. Still, I went in alone. Every dungeon, I did it solo. It even got easy, to the point that it got boring.
So here I am, just passing time by laying my head down on some random steps. Some times I feel like I'm cheating, having Hestia upgrade me and all. As for the HIDDEN SKILLS, I don't think its a misprint, I think something happened and I'm kind of liking it, but not that I cant use it.
I miss my sister, with mom being sick and in the hospital, it leaves her by her self. Nijika isn't my only sister, I have another one, an even younger one. Nanairo Arshavina, she's about eight right now, already going to a university. The last I saw of her, was when she was three, having been pronounced a genius.
I'm not a full blooded brother like both sisters, I only have our fathers blood, with him having met a women about a year before he met my current mother. The story behind my real mother, is that she wanted nothing to do with me and gave me away, said I wasn't worth the trouble and should of been aborted but it went against her religion to kill.
My father told me that a when I learned I was having a sister, only that she wasn't my full sister. I wanted to be her full brother, and I treated her with kindness beyond relief. I went as far as to teach her my mothers native language, Russian. she didn't speak it much, but she loved saying the greetings, privet being her favorite.
We eventually moved to Russia, and by the time I was ten, my next sister was born, Nanairo. Translation, rainbow. That's the first thing my mother saw after giving birth, so she said. It fit her, because she was a ball of sunshine. She loved to play, with singing and coloring being her favorite thing.
But once father learned she was a genius, he and mother got into an argument on what to do with her future. I didn't like what father was saying, so I snuck out in the middle of the knight, taking both Nanairo and Nijika with me. I wanted to run away from him, I didn't want him to treat her like that, it would ruin her child hood, and I didn't want one sister to grow up without the other.
I was found a few hours later by the police, and once I got home, I was unable to walk as my father literally beat the shit out of me. No belts, no paddles, pure fist, pure rage. Mom suggested on taking me to the hospital, but he refused, saying that if I wanted to live, I needed to earn that right, seeing how my true mother wanted nothing to do with me, he didn't either.
Yet I didn't earn that right, as mom took care of me with the only medical skills she had. By the time I could walk again, it had been a month and I had learned that they had gotten a divorce and we're moving back to japan...without Nanairo.
I would see her on the news every now and then with Nijika and mom and we would both be proud and disappointed at the same time. Proud that she was a genius, disappointed that this was how her life turned out. Two years before SAO, mom fell I'll, with me taking up multiple jobs right after school to help out. Nijika took up one job, a waitress at a maid café. There, she started loving pop idols. It was a hobby, and with her finding, it made me feel like she would become an idol her self.
'Hell, I would give anything to hear Nijika sing right now.' I thought with a smile.
"Something that will never stop ringing is the sound of shining lights~ A distant sky~" I heard, with my heart stopping because I knew that voice, it was either I thought I heard it, or it was my sister. I sat up, looking around, but I didn't see her. "Silence waited in the air~ A blue comet falling through the sky~" I knew it was her now, but the questioned remained, how was she here, I only bought one copy of SAO?
I stood up, looking everywhere, trying to see if I could find her, but no luck. "The moonlit road spreading excellence on the other side of the moon~" Looking down the road, I used my enhanced vision to see further down it, spotting a familiar hairstyle, and a familiar shade of brown.
"It cant be!" I said as I started running in that direction. "Don't let it be her, don't let it be my sister!" I said as I narrowed my eyes.
Once I reached where I saw her, I looked all over the place, not seeing her. "To go past the border~ Go into a reality that's far away~" I heard, with me running out of the village as that's where I heard it from. "Forget today, forget tomorrow, curl up and cry~" I heard, with me gritting my teeth.
'She only sings that song when she's down!' I thought as I narrowed my eyes. 'I need my answer answered, and I promise, I wont leave you!' I thought as I saw her retreating form.
"A variating fate~ If it mixes together it becomes heaven~ The moon moves slowly and reflects fantasy~" I heard, with me losing sight of her as she entered the woods. "Something that will never stop ringing is the sound of shining lights~ It doesn't matter how the strong the blows~" It echoed all through the woods, where I couldn't find its location anymore.
'I'm taking to the trees!' I thought as I ran up one and jumped onto the branch, where I started jumping from branch to branch.
"Sincere, go beyond time~ I can keep smiling~ My heart sings, ring in the sky that waits for me~ Ring for Cynthia~" I heard, getting louder as I jumped to another tree. "An intense voice cut the silence~ The collected dreams overflows~ The laughing hope was visibly~ Bleeding from my eyes~'' I heard, with it sounding like there was a fight up ahead.
Reaching the area, I saw wolf after wolf die before me, shocking me as there wasn't anyone around. 'She's skilled, that's for sure.' I thought as I looked around.
"If a latent truth blocked your way~ Scared, I change the future~ And reflects a fantasy~" I heard to my right, with me jumping after it. "Something to always believe are the repainted sounds in the sky~ Weak as if to haze up in the distance, Cynthia go beyond the night~" I heard fighting again, with me gritting my teeth as she was fast, faster than me. "To go and tell those feelings~ Share your voice, light up tomorrow~ Ringing the sky that awaits~ Ring for Cynthia~"
Once I reached the area, I found her gone again, this time the monsters were dead as well. "Dame it, where the hell did she go!?" I yelled, looking around.
"Vivid stars spread in the love colored sky~ Lit up in the sky is~ My happiness when you were here~" I heard further ahead, with me taking off once more. "Something I can hear again today~ The sound of a shining wiah~ A distant sky~"
'She's closer, I'm catching up!?' I thought as I grinned, about to find out if this was really my sister or not, with me more on the it is side than the it isn't side.
"Something that will never stop ringing is the sound of shining lights~" I heard as I reached her, with four wolves jumping at her from all sides. "It doesn't matter how the strong the wind blows~" I heard her say as she pulled out a sword and slashed as one of the two in front of her, with me jumping down and stabbing one behind her. "Cynthia go beyond time~" I heard her say as she turned around, but I jumped over her and stabbed at the wolf as it almost bit her. "I can keep smiling~" She sang as she cut the one behind her that I attacked, killing it. "My heart sings~" She said as I stabbed the first one she attacked, killing it as she cut the next one. "Ring in the sky that waits for me~" She said as she turned around and stabbed, with me doing the same, our eyes widening as we saw the other. "Ring for...Cynthia?" She said as we both stabbed the wolf behind the other, staring at the other.
"How are you here?" I asked as both wolves died, with her backing up and putting her sword up.
"I'm surprised you're still alive." She said calmly as she turned around and started walking away.
"You knew I was here, didn't you?" I asked, with her nodding as I followed, but jumped back as she slashed at me. "The hell!?" I yelled, with her glaring at me.
"Stay away, I don't want to see you, ever." She said, actually hurting me.
"The hell did I do!?" I yelled, with her pointing her sword at me.
"I saw you, on the first day." She said, shocking me. "You were with two others, friends I'm taking it?" She asked, with me narrowing my eyes at her. "I was just-"
"SHUT UP!?" She yelled, charging at me and slashing, with me moving out of the way, with each strike almost hitting me. "YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO BUY SAO FOR ME, BUT YOU LIED!? YOU BOUGHT IT FOR YOURSELF, SO YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS MORE THAN ME!?" She yelled, with me reaching out and catching the sword with my hand, having it pierce all the way through till it reached the guard.
"That's what's got you pissed!?" I yelled, with her twisting the sword and removing my hand. "What friends!?" I yelled, blocking a strike from her sword. "If they were my friends, they wouldn't of left me behind!?" I yelled, blocking another of her strikes.
"I saw that, you cried like a little bitch!?" She yelled, stabbing me in the shoulder. "You gave up before it even began, only to get saved by some NPC!?" She yelled as she tripped me, with me falling on my back. She jumped up, with me bringing my arm up and letting her stab it.
'Her level is high, she's brought me down to the yellow already!?' I thought as I saw my health bar fall.
"Do you even care for me, or mom?" She asked, shocking me. "Because I don't think you do." She said, twisting the blade, with me gritting my teeth. I swung my knife at her sword, only for her to bring her foot up and step on my arm, stopping me. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." She said, pulling the sword out as soon as my HP reached the red. "No, I'll have this game do that for me." She said as she stood up and walked away.
"Nijika!?" I yelled as I stood up, with her looking at me.
"You're not my brother." She said, with my eyes widening. "I want nothing to do with you, your mother didn't want anything to do with you, daddy didn't want anything to do with you, you're just a waist of space. Do us all a favor and just die already." She said, with tears falling from my eyes.
I fell to my knees, staring at her retreating form. "A waist of space, that's all I am." I said as I hunched forward, grabbing my hair and pulling at it. "Fine." I said, standing up. "If she wants me to die, I will." I said, glaring at the spot she was at. "I'll die trying to get you home, you hear me sis, I'll die trying to get you home, no matter what it takes!?" I yelled as loud as I could, knowing she heard me.
