Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 12: Training lodgement

On the other hand, before getting teleported to Empyrean.

"rawwrrrrrr"

A loud scream was heard from a distance while Nagendra and the women were running.

"Did he kill it?"

"I don't know but I hope that he comes back alive."

"I feel bad, what would he think of us? You are his friend, why didn't you make him come with his? Answer me!... After all, I did was the same thing as you. we all ran away using him as a decoy."

"Hey, Shreya you have to understand something clearly about him. He is not someone who will get into a deep bond just because you spent some time with him. He mostly does what he feels to do, and I don't object to him for being like that since he has his reason why he wants to be like that and we all ran because of our fear and survival instinct and he followed his own instincts cuz it was his choice. I think he won't feel bad because we left him."

Sonali opened her mouth after hearing Nagendra's explanation.

"Nagendra you sure know a lot about him, what's your relationship with him?"

"We are classmates, and I lived near his home, so I was just basically a neighborhood guy."

"hmm, I find him interesting."

"Everybody sure does because he doesn't reveal his intentions and he is not a talkative guy either."

Shreya replied.

"Okay, what should we do now? Will he come back if he survived?"

"We can stay and make a camp nearby this area. I hope he will come back, or we should start moving by morning and since it is a single day we can somehow manage it."

Sonali started talking.

"I think he would probably come back. I was observing him since we arrived. He was strangely calm and acting a bit different than all of us."

"Me too. I don't clearly know how he managed to fight but he was really strong since the arrival," Nagendra replied.

"Okay, we will just explore the area for an hour or two in the morning and stay in a safe place to travel back."

And then they waited for Nix to return but he didn't come back.

{Welcome to The Empyrean.}

Nix slowly opened his eyes as the blinding light faded. He was dazed by the atmosphere because he was in a big hall filled with approximately 80 people in that large hall. He was in awe because he thought that only his compartment was transported but he didn't even think in his wildest dream that a whole lot of people like him were made to face the same thing as him. But, strangely he didn't bump into any other survivors rather than his group.

'They all seem to face the same thing as me... But, I didn't expect this many people being abducted by this so-called Empyrean world.'

When scanned through the hall a tall young man caught his eye accompanied by two women. He walked towards the tall black-haired guy and patted his shoulder and the young man turned around to see who it was. The Identity of the young man was Nagendra.

Nagendra grinned as he looked at Nix and the two women also beamed with happiness on their faces. Everyone was happy as they got reunited. Nix smiled back at them.

Nagendra opened his mouth with a grin on his face.

"Thank god! You survived those monsters. Did you kill them?"

Shreya raised her voice with a happy face.

"Hey, Nix I am so glad that you survived."

Sonali was just smiling and observing the scene.

Nix scratched his head and started talking.

"Yes well, I guess I got lucky enough to kill them."

Nagendra and others were dumbstruck.

"What? you killed those two monsters?"

"As I said I somehow barely managed to come back alive and as I couldn't move I just rested all day in a nearby place and I am sorry if it made you all worry so much."

"No Nix I apologize for leaving you to fight those monsters and you don't need to apologize to us," Nagendra replied.

Shreya started talking.

"Yes and thanking you for fighting for us."

'What I fought for...? I guess it is okay she will definitely think bad about me if I explain Why I fought those things.'

"Let's skip the topic but, why are there so many people here did they all get teleported like us?"

Nagendra opened his mouth and looks like he understood that Nix wanted to change the topic.

"looks like it, But haha you need to know this. Shreya was worrying about you a lot as she asked me again and again that if you would have escaped it."

Nix turned towards Shreya. She avoided his gaze while blushing.

"Thank you, Shreya."

All other survivors were all having a relieved face while interacting with each other.

Suddenly a Blinding light exploded before the crowd which gained the entire attention towards the stage which was a little distance away from the crowd.

When the light faded away a Woman with a beautiful smile became visible. Her pale white skin tone matched her white robe and her white folded wings. And she wore something like a crown. It was circular and silver in color floating above her head and her silver hair added an alluring charm and her golden pupils were like a cherry topping added to a delicious cake. Her eyes are additional content making her more beautiful. To put it simply she is an angel and she looked beautiful.

Everyone turned their attention to her.

{I congratulate all the survivors who have got teleported here.}

The crowd started to make a fuss and began yelling at her.

{I want all the survivors to remain calm so that I can explain why you are all summoned here.}

Suddenly a rogue-looking burly man from the crowd started shouting and cursing at the woman on stage.

"You cosplaying bitch! what the fuck are you spouting? why should we obey and listen to your words? let me go home!"

Suddenly a flashing white light transmitted to the man's face from the palm of the beautiful woman on the stage.

"ahhhhh ahhh it's burning! my eyes are burning!"

The whole hall became silent only the scream of the man resounded in the hall. She sent her energy back again to the man and the man stopped screaming in pain.

She smiled and commenced to speak.

{Now I want all of you here to listen to me. You are summoned here by the gods of Empyrean, and we can't send you back to your world until the gods wish to, and as you can see I am an Angel one of the servants of gods. We angels will assist you and guide you so that you can return.}

'Bull shit! gods? If they are gods why do they need our help? what the fuck? This is nonsense, and I have my circumstances back on earth. I just want to go back.'

Nix was thinking several things and other survivors were all in a panic and running their own thoughts on their minds.

{You all will be given a class After a week and everyone can train and learn how to survive this world from Training Lodgement where you will learn mandatory and essential things from other experienced Outsiders and a place for you to stay.}

{With this I have done my part if you have any other questions. You can enquire experienced Outsiders. You will be assigned a place to stay in the lodge.}

"shishhhs"

With a sound, the woman vanished from the stage, and people in the hall were confused and started talking between themselves.

Suddenly a few people came, everyone who entered was wearing armor and had weapons and some looked like priests from temples having some strange objects on their hands while some had staves on their hands.

A man who looked like a warrior from a medieval age started speaking in a loud voice.

"Everybody start lining up."
