Raye Penber was in a comfortable situation. It seemed as if no one knew where he was, thanks to the prosthetic. Kira also seemed to have never found out about him being revived, so no one was looking for him.

He continued along till he found an active shipping port. Many docks were lined up across the shore. All of them were active, except for one.

That one was very old, seemed to be made of wood, and had a sign that read:

This is a dock from Dire, Dire Docks

Not for use

"Dire, Dire Docks? Where have I heard that name before?" Raye Penber thought.

He decided that this would be the place that he would call his home for the time being.

He set up areas for him to store individual supplies. No one seemed to disturb him, so he was safe.

He lived in the dock not bothered till December 3rd.

That day was a little different.

The first thing that happened was he went out to get some supplies, but when he came back, someone was on his dock.

He looked around 19, had white hair, and a light skin. He was holding some notebook, but that wasn't the craziest part.

The craziest part was that person was panting like a dog and laughing like a villain.

"What, are you doing, on my dock?" Raye Penber said.

That person slowly turned around to face him. The creepiest part was that the person would not stop smiling in a "i'm gonna kill you" manner.

"I came here because I was bored of my old place, ahahahaha. You don't seem scared of me, so I guess you don't know what I'm capable of *panting* *panting* *panting*"

"Well it doesn't matter!"

"Go ahead, tell me your name..."

The person pulled a pistol out of his pocket.

"OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU WITHOUT THE NOTEBOOK! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Raye Penber started yelling for help, but everyone who looked at the person immediately ran away. Was this person a famous serial killer or something?

The person took a shot at Raye Penber's leg, which rendered him unable to walk.

"It will all finish if you just tell me your name! *quick pant* *quick pant* *quick pant* *quick pant*"

"NO!"

The person took a shot at the second leg, which made Raye Penber on the brink of loosing consciousness due to blood loss.

"AHAHAHAHA! JUST TELL ME YOUR NAME AND IT WILL ALL END! YOUR SUFFFERING! *panting* *panting* *panting*"

When Raye Penber thought he was going to die, he was save by the police.

Sirens rang behind him. The cop yelled: "DROP THE GUN AND PUT YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD, NEAR! WE WILL THEN KILL YOU!"

Near? So that was this person's name, or at least nickname.

But Near did not do so. He kept the pistol in his hand and grabbed an apple from a bag. He then held it up in the air and it started getting eaten by itself.

Was that a show of his supernatural powers?

Near then said: "Let's do it, ahahahahaha"

And then

He flew off

The cops tried to shoot at him, but to no avail, as he got away.

"We can't tell the public Near was not caught when we had the chance, so will keep this a secret" said one cop.

All Raye Penber knew was: "This world has interesting people"
