Master of LYNK (ENG)

I just freeze at that moment when I see that creature ready to eat that girl. Why that girl wasn't scared and running away? Didn't she realize it? Or couldn't she see it? What kind of creature was that? I was so scared and couldn't even move my own body. (Juriko)

That creature wriggle closer to the girl and open its mouth wide. Seeing that, Juriko suddenly remember his promise.

***

"That's right, I want to be strong. I want to be a strong person. I want to be strong so I can protect the people I love. I can't keep being a coward like this. I... have to be strong!"

***

Juriko immediately take off his shopping bag and dart towards the girl. Just before that creature devour the girl, Juriko come carrying the girl and avoid the creature's mouth. Juriko immediately run carrying that girl. The girl was surprise by Juriko who suddenly carry her and take her away.

"Eh? What is this?" that girl said in surprise. "Kidnapper?! Kidnapper!!" that girl shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm not a pedofilia. You're in danger!" Juriko said while carrying that girl with his right hand in a position like he was carrying a pillow.

On the other hand, the junoi was angry and chasing Juriko.

Juriko carriy that girl running into an old building to hide from that creature. That creature was still chasing them both and also enter the old building. While inside the building, Juriko was still trying to run with all his might. Meanwhile, the creature also continue to chase and because its body was too big, that creature destroy all things in its way.

"AHH?! What's going on there? The things are destroying themselves," said the girl while looking back.

"Is this girl really can't see the creature?," Juriko thought. "If I had run into the street earlier, I might have caused a panic."

Juriko continue to run from that creature and try to find a way to escape from it.

"My food... MY FOOD!!" that creature shouted.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Juriko muttered as he continued to run carrying the girl.

That creature chase after Juriko quickly despite having a body large enough to fill the building's hallway. Juriko passed a T-junction in the hallway. One was a straight path while the other was a path to the left. Juriko immediately maneuvered to turn his run to the left. Although he slip a little, Juriko manage to turn himself to the left. Meanwhile, that creature couldn't stop itself and pass through the hallway Juriko entered.

"Phew, looks like I'm a can take some breath now," Juriko muttered, sighing in relief.

But not long after, that creature reappear and chasing Juriko again. Not from the alley. That creature charge straight through all the walls in front of it until they were destroyed and finally reach behind Juriko.

"Safe like a SHIT!!" Juriko shouted.

Juriko immediately increased his speed and ran as fast as he could once again.

"I'm scared..." said the girl Juriko was carrying, starting to cry.

Juriko immediately lift that girl and hug her with both hands.

"Don't worry. I'm here with you," Juriko said.

That frightened girl could only press her face against Juriko's chest and both her hands gripped the clothes on Juriko's chest.

That creature start to get closer. And not long after, that creature jump trying to pounce on Juriko. Juriko quickly threw himself down with the girl so that that monster didn't hit him and only floated past his top. That creature miss quite far because it had difficult to stop itself. After stopping, that creature try to turn around and because of its large body, that creature destroyed the walls around it. But when that creature manage to turn around, that creature did not see anyone in the hallway.

On the other hand, Juriko and the girl he brought hide in one of the rooms in the hallway.

"For now we will hide here," Juriko said while putting the girl down.

"What happened?" asked the girl who was still scared. Juriko approached the girl and patted her head intending to calm her down. Not long after, the sound of a dog groaning was heard. From under the table in the room came out a puppy.

"Ah, that's my dog!" That girl immediately approach and hugged her dog. Juriko feel relieve because the girl could be calmer. But suddenly the dog bark loudly towards the door of the room.

"Hey hey don't bark too loud," Juriko said.

"Found you guys!" The creature broke in and destroyed the door of the room. Luckily Juriko was still fast enough to dart and catch that girl. That creature miss them once again and hit the wall.

"Damn, I can't keep running. I used to beat up creatures like this, right? Then I'll just beat up this creature!" thought Juriko.

When that creature turn around, Juriko had already dashed and punch the creature's head very hard.

"Run!" Juriko shouted. The girl took her dog and run from the room.

But when the girl run away, that creature start to get up again. That creature immediately run towards Juriko. That creature rammed Juriko very hard, making Juriko bounce and hit the wall.

"Damn it... "

 That creature charged out of the room brutally and destroy everything in its way. That creature was already very angry. But the creature not run towards Juriko.

"Huh? What's wrong with that weird creature?" Juriko muttered. But at that moment Juriko realize that the creature was running towards the girl.

Juriko immediately jumped up and chase after the creature.

On the other hand, the girl was still trying to run from the creature even though she didn't see anything. She only see the walls and things behind her being destroyed and flying.

I try to run as hard as I could while carrying my dog. I was very scared when I heard the sounds of walls being destroyed behind me. I look back and see that man chasing me. I return my gaze to the front while continuing to run. But suddenly the sounds of things being destroyed behind me become louder. When I look back again, I see that man jumping up and down and landing punches on the wind. What did he hit? But not long after he hit the wind, the wall in the same direction as his punch was destroyed. What really happened? But what I had to do now was run.

On the other hand, Juriko managed to land another punch on the creature, causing it to bounce back and crash into the wall beside it. Juriko landed in front of the creature. That creature stand up again and roaring very loudly. That creature was already very annoyed with Juriko and charged forward at full speed to ram Juriko again.

Juriko turn and run away from that creature. The creature was still trying to chase Juriko at full speed. However, Juriko ran not to escape from the creature. But to chase the girl. When he was close enough to the girl, Juriko grab the girl's shoulder and fall down with her again just as the creature jump to pounce on them.

The creature missed and at high speed, that creature crashed into the wall in front of it. That creature crashed so hard that it broke through the wall. And unfortunately for that creature because behind the wall was the outside of the building that led to the backyard of the building. That creature fall from a fairly high height.

"Chance!"

Juriko stood up and run, jumping from the hole the creature made and aim a punch. His hand again emitted a fiery red aura.

"DIE!!"

Juriko hit the creature very hard and made quite a big vibration. That creature lay on the ground and moveless. Juriko lay on the ground after beating that creature and close his eyes. A few moments later, Juriko heard a faint voice calling him.

"Hey... hey! Are you okay?" the girl asked who was already next to Juriko.

Juriko immediately sit down and patted the girl's head while saying, "Don't worry, I'm okay. Hurry up and go home. It's dangerous here."

"Okay! Thank you for protecting me. I also found my dog ​​now." The girl walked home with her dog. "Bye-bye!"

After the girl left, Juriko fall again because of exhaustion. When Juriko was lying down, suddenly the creature move again and tried to approach Juriko.

"Huh? Its not dead?" Juriko muttered. "Hehe. Is this the end of my life? How pathetic."

That creature walk closer to Juriko and start to open its mouth wide.

"Sorry Aruta. I'm firs-"

Before Juriko could finish his sentence, suddenly that creature crash and get devour by something.

"Huh? What happened?" Juriko muttered. Juriko sit down and see someone approaching him. The person was not too old but not too young either. "Who are you?" Juriko asked.

"My name is Ryuzen. Nice to meet you. May I know your name?"

"My name is Juriko. How did you get here?" Juriko asked.

"I was just walking around. But I accidentally heard a commotion here," Ryuzen said. Not long after, Ryuzen showed Juriko the shopping bag that Juriko had left before. "Is this yours?" Ryuzen asked.

"Y-yes," Juriko answered.

Ryuzen then give the bag to Juriko. "I see it lying on the road," Ryuzen said.

"Ah, thank you," Juriko said as he receive the bag.

"I see your fight earlier. Did you see some kind of red aura when you landed the last blow earlier?" Ryuzen asked.

"Yes," Juriko answered.

"That is your power and advantage. A terrifying destructive power. You can be a nightmare for those around you. Or maybe, you can be a savior with that monster power," Ryuzen said, crouching in front of Juriko.

"Huh?" Juriko confused.

"From the way you saved that girl, you always want to protect others, right? I can help you so that your power is more useful to many people out there," Ryuzen said with a faint smile.

"How?" Juriko asked.

Ryuzen started to stand up and extended his hand to Juriko and said, "Join us, Juntoshi Mage."

"Juntoshi Mage? I think I've heard of that organization. So it's true," Juriko muttered.

"How?" Ryuzen asked.

"No, thank you. As long as the people closest to me are safe, that's enough for me," Juriko said, starting to stand up without receive Ryuzen's hand.

"You have a great power. There will be many people who will be helped if you use it well," Ryuzen said, pulling his hand back and putting both of his hands in his pants pockets.

"Sorry, but I don't want to jump into that dangerous world," Juriko said while tidying up her shopping.

"You just saved a child. Maybe if you really didn't want to interfere, you wouldn't have jumped at that time and the child would have been in that creature's stomach. It's rare to find someone with a power like yours," Ryuzen said in a seductive tone.

Juriko fell silent and remember Aruta's words.

"Come on. We have the ability to see them. Maybe there is a purpose behind our ability."

***

"But after all, it's not my place to force you. Okay then. I'll respect your decision." Ryuzen turn around and walking away from Juriko.

"Wait!" Juriko shouted. Ryuzen immediately stop when Juriko call him. "It seems like there is a purpose behind this gift of power," Juriko said.

"So? What is your choice?"
