The Wrong Jason Singularity

Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Tangled Strings

   This version of the world will end. They know it. Aware that this world would be culled. Stagnation? No, it wasn't the reason that it would end.

  Then, why does it need to end?

They know the answer. It was because this world was deemed by Alaya to be dangerous. It reeks of corruption and the influence of the Outer Gods.

This world has no future. There is no age of man. No modern magecraft. Throne of Heroes? It only contains people until the age of God.

It was already predestined and calculated. It's the world's FATE...

...is nothing.

Yet, some beings struggle. Pitiful Olympian Gods preventing the bleeding of the Outer Gods in this world.

It's futile.

Why struggle?

Accept it.

Accept the end.

It's FATE.

You can't prevent destiny.

It was already woven in their tapestry.

Accept. Accept. Accept. Accept. Accept. Accept. Accept.

It's no use fighting the Fate. They would lose. Don't fight the Morai. Accept them.

Accept destruction.

Accept corruption.

Accept the outer gods. Praise their name. As the world enters its fated destruction. It is inevitable.

---------------------

      Within one of the hills of Athens, an alone boy sat on the grassy hill. The one most prominent thing about this boy was his blond hair. And he was wearing strange clothes compared to the children of Athens. The boy has his eyes closed and appears to be in an odd sitting position. He looks so calm and peaceful. He was still like a rock. And it looks like nothing will disturb him. He was one with the scenery, one with nature.

  " Leader Medes! "

A loud shout was heard within the hill. Someone was fastly approaching the "Medes" person who was in his deep meditation.

" Leader Medes! "

Once again the person called. It was much louder and anxious than before.

" LEADER DIOMEDES!! "

The calm and peaceful expression of Diomedes– or should we say, Jason... His brows are furrowed. The person is now in front of him.

" Leader Diomedes!! "

The person was starting to shake his body using his hands quite forcefully. Jason opened his eyes and glared at the person.

" What it is this time? "

Irritation and annoyance could be seen on his face. He was in his meditation. The brats and kids at school should know that during this time, it wasn't a good time to disturb him.

" I apologize for disturbing you. "

The person looks at Jason afraid and apologetic at the same time. " But we need your help. Some students from another Academy were in ours! They are looking for you. And I am afraid, that they have asked me to bring a message to you, Leader! "

Jason can already feel a headache incoming. Not because his meditation was interrupted.

" So, what is the message? "

" Should I say it, Leader? "

" Get it on with it already!! "

" I'm sorry! I apologize– here we go.. to quote what they have said “ Fucking little Menace!! This Isn't Over! Hear that little brat?! We would take back our rightful place!! You are just nothing but a little brat who clings and suck up on that strange creature!! "

But because of this.....

Jason look at the person, little kid with a neutral expression on his face, and asked.

" Is that all? "

" Yes. "

The little kid replied nervously. Then he looks at him for a moment before avoiding his gaze.

" Leader? "

" What is it? "

" If there's nothing that you need, I will go back now! See you later and please show up! "

Jason watched the person start running down the hill. As the little kid's silhouette disappear, he stared at the sky and the beautiful and prominent rising sun. 

Just where his life has gone to? If Jason could describe it, it was a strange twist and turn of events. His life is a complicated mess. A very mismatched combination of various genres and settings.

2 years ago, he accepted going with Chiron to Athens. The Centaur has accepted a job of teaching at an Academy from someone. And eventually, Jason learned that it came from the Goddess Athena herself.

Arriving at the Academy, Jason expected that it would be at least at the level of living in Mount Pelion. His new normal in this new life of another world. Peaceful and Silent. A monotonous routine that he would become accustomed to. As long as he has his head lowered, he wouldn't attract any unnecessary and troublesome attention.

Yet in the two years, it has exceeded his expectations. Low and behold! This second school life of his has turned into eccentric school gang wars within the past 2 years.

Jason sighed. After a few minutes, he decided to go to the Academy. There, he found that what has one of the kids and students in the academy relayed to him moisture.

There are indeed students from the other academy. And they were also making a spectacle in front of the infrastructure. When those people saw Jason arrive, their gazes immediately turned to him and look hostile.

" Brat you have finally arrived! "

One of them said. Jason look at the person and scoffed inside his mind. Why is the person calling him a brat? Please, he has no right to call him a brat when that said person is just at least 12 years old. Now that he look at the kid, it was one of the familiar faces.

One of the other kids who frequently challenge his 'place' as the best.

To be more elaborate on the things that happened in his school life within these past 2 years, it would be more appropriate to call them school competitions. It was a tradition between the Academy of Athens to have students compete with each other. And the teachers of the academy have also permitted the rivalry between the learning facilities to happen. And the important thing regarding this competition was that the patron of Athens has also seen the rivalry between the academies to be a good thing. It was a tradition blessed by the Goddess of Knowledge.

Jason stared at the kid. There's a fire in his eyes that can't be quenched.

" Brat, I challenged you!! "

Yet, Jason feels exhausted as he stared at the brimming energy of rivalry coming from the kid.

" What challenged is it this time? "

Jason asked while giving the most deadpan expression that he can muster. He wondered what competition would it be this time. Archery? Martial Arts? Poetry? Painting? Swordsmanship? Horse Riding? Running Race? Etc?
Over the past 2 years, the kid are very creative in their ways of challenging him since he becomes the 'best student in Athens' (kid edition).

" This time, I would win! I challenge you on peeping on bathrooms!! "

Say what?
