Chapter 2 - Little girl

as a kid I was always alone.

but on a chance occasion deep in my memory I met a girl her gold hair was like a real gold as her black eyes that looks like a certain galaxy were shining in front of me.

at that time I was holding an Ice cream. its flavor was strawberry its color was pink with some colorful sprinkles on top of it and around it a chocolate flavored marshmallows could be seen laying on its pink surface.

looking at the girl in front of me I thought I should share my Ice cream on her as she looks quite pitiful just looking at my Ice cream.

"hi, do you want some of my Ice cream?"

I asked.

"M- me?" she asked me back her eyes confused.

at that time I realized she wasn't looking at me.

turning around I saw a beautiful lady with long gold hair walking towards us.

the young lady opened her mouth saying something as her eyes gazed at me warmly.

.....

tap! tap! tap!

suddenly I felt cold all over my body.

as I opened my eyes I saw the small water droplets falling from the sky.

but for some reason I felt like it was too slow that I could see it just using my naked eye.

throwing it at the back of my mind. I remember the girl and the dozens of footsteps around me at that time.

'Is that little girl playing a her little prank on me?'

as for what happen to him. he checked his body seeing that nothing goes missing he sighed. he hastily left this place.

as some point in time in the same location where he was lying moments ago a middle-aged man suddenly appeared. looking at the direction where Hu Bai left his green gaze turned into a slit.

beside him a girl with blue hair was holding an umbrella for him.

after a while of silence. the blue haired girl asked in curiosity, "Master, is that your..."

"No. Lets go." the middle-aged man shook his head as he coldly said.

.....

back at his own home.

"Mom, I'm back!"

because his home was near from the 'slums' and he arrived here after an our.

it was a two storey house. it's design were more like from the ancient times. because his major in his university years aren't history he doesn't really know much about house designs.

"Son!" Seeing him back a middle-aged women with a white apron and casual outfit she looks like a typical housewife. wiping her hands using a white towel her blue eyes gazing at his son with concern look.

walking towards him she saw him drenched in rain water, a concern look was flashing on her face, "Son, take a shower first. I will heat the food yesterday. we need to talk after that."

upon seeing his mother's concern look he felt quite bad at himself.

who knows how much time is it that he was gone that makes his mother worried?

after taking a shower. he wear his white pajamas that he always wears at home. although it have a black bunny like stickers scattered around it. he always felt a cool sensation while wearing it as it was made of cotton.

entering the kitchen he sat down on the table. in front of him delicacies could be seen.

it was meat and vegetables.

meat was rather expensive in the city. but just eating it makes his body warmer. in this cold type of climate he was already lucky to have a parents that was concern on him.

seeing him daze his mother sat opposite him.

her eyes full of concern.

" I heard..."

"Mom, I know your concern about me failing the Aptitude examination but Trust me I will pass if I retake it again." seeing her so concern he realized that her mother think he was depressed thats why he didn't go home.

also he realized that he was away for an entire night.

thinking about that situation he was in at that time. it just felt strange.

think about it. who will get unconscious just by looking at a little girl on the slums?

seeing his confident look his Mother finally sighed.

"If you need anything just say it. I will get anything you need. just.. just don't keep anything by yourself if you feel it's hard to keep moving forward I'm here willing to listen to you."

as if she was about to say more. she hesitated.

"Okey mom, I will."

....

lying on his bed.

he tried to remember what exactly happened.

that little girl face looks normal. that day time.

it was noon. around '14:02 or 16:00' I think. how did I fell unconscious and what happened after that?

Hu Bai felt confused so much that he felt pain on his head.

sitting upright he shakes his head.

suddenly an Idea struck him.

what if...

what if it was a Walker that makes him unconscious?

is that little girl the Walker?!

remembering every single detail of her body and face and the color of her eyes. Hu Bai Immediately turned on his computer.

because his computer desk was near his bed he immediately turned it on.

using an A.I Artist to draw him her appearance. after an hour he finally get his finished product also paying that artist 10 HF for his service.

(HF= Human Federation Money)

(Fun Fact: in the world of shattered realm one HF equals to 1 coin also it was digitalized that by only wearing a digital bank watch you can buy anything!)

brown hair that looks like a wolf. a yellow eyes that looks like a tiger. also a face that looks like she was from some wealthy family.

because the dirt around her was edited out she looks like a beautiful small girl.

well she was ten years old. Hu Bai calm down. you don't wanna go to prison like that!

shaking his head he slapped himself a couple of times.

taking out his diary on his desk drawer. he begun writing about his experiences today.
