Cosmic Editor

Chapter 51: Hope in humanity.. Lost?



As he walked out of the house, he saw the ride waiting but didn't immediately move towards it. He had to see the driver's reaction to his environment.

Would he be apprehensive as common sense dictates or would forget that he's in Nigeria. As David wondered that, he peeped at the driver only to see the man admiring the house and all its facilities.

"I feel like I should have expected that" David said to himself

Sighing and rolling his eyes at the man's boring reaction, he boldly began walking towards the car. It was parked just a bit away from the gate

"Mr David Nnaji?" The driver asked as he came out of the car

"Yes" David replied handing over some of the bags on his hand to him.

With the confirmation, they began walking towards the car. They put all the bags into the trunk of the car and got into the car.

"So where to sir?" the man asked

"Honestly nowhere in particular... I prepared too much food so I have to share it to people so it doesn't spoil, if you know where I can do so effectively then take me there" David said honestly

"Ah sir, that one go hard oo"

"Don't worry, you can go offline... I'll pay you" David said knowing what the man was implying

"Okay thank you sir, but with how this place big... You know get people wey dey live with you" "Nope, just me and my wife" David answered before frowning

Why was he so truthful about that? He just confirmed that there was no security and that it was only he and Fadila, this was him basically asking to be robbed or attacked.

[Don't worry sir, he's just curious] Nous confirmed

"I can tell that much" David replied mentally

Of course, he wasn't worried about an attack on him or Fadila while they were at home. With all the defenses on the building, he didn't need to worry about anything but it was still a stupid behavior to have.

"Okay sir, I don't know what side we can go to but there should be a place around second avenue... I'm not sure Sha" The man said

"Don't worry let's go, if we don't see any one there, we will check other places... Sha this food can not go to waste" David replied

That was the end goal of it all for him, Fadila should not see the excess food. Normally he wouldn't have to worry about this but the current him seems to just run on vibes because he had yet to understand exactly why he wasn't feeling hungry.

Was he even still human? Even if he was the center of it all, he still saw the pillar of light that rose as soon as he entered tier one.

The ride began with David not paying much attention to where he was been taken. He wasn't afraid after his current breakthrough.

He felt that he was likely to be at least ten times as strong as a regular human then you add in the fact that he could probably utilize the energy within him now to create effects in the real world.

"Come to think of it, Nous, do I need to start learning fighting techniques that allow him utilize the energy I just cultivated" David asked

[The Tier One realm may only be achieve by successfully channeling one's energies through their body but it is not the realm in which you can successfully be able to project said energy outwardly] Nous replied

"Okay... That means when I get to tier two, I'll start looking for such techniques right?"

[No, you are an Editor... Your kind has techniques designed specifically for you and the type of power you possess... Learning another is impossible]

"Wait does that mean that the training technique, I am using now is the standard for Editors?" David asked thinking about what Nous had said.

Also for some reason, David found himself stuck on the first part of Nous's statement. Here he was asking if he was still human and Nous basically tells him 'Your kind' in such a context. [Yes, however because you were not an Editor yet, I could add in a few changes to make it stronger and more adapted to your human physiology but now, you can have the full training method... And also since entering Tier One, you automatically seize to be human, it is not my place to explain to you how the Editor works so I can't explain more than that to you] Nous replied

"Sir, how about this place?" The driver asked interrupting the conversation

"Okay" David replied not blaming the man after all, he couldn't hear said conversation, it was all literally in his head.

Looking out the windows, David saw the sight he wasn't so used to... Or at least one he had yet to see since he came to Abuja.

In Abia State, it was a common sight but here it was again. It was a group of young girls in tattered clothes and dirty wrappers that was also used to partly used to wra the babies they were holding.

Around them, he could see other children walking by the roadside. It was a disheartening scene that could easily make one loose hope in humanity.

But he had lived in this country to know that some of them were there because they saw it easier to beg than to actually work but in doing so, they actually became beggers.

Others, were there because of certain circumstances. Thinking of this, David walked out of the car and almost immediately one of the kids hugged his legs as the various laborers in the market rushed him.

Pushing wheelbarrows and some simply expecting him to flow them to their commercial vehicles as a passenger but he chose to ignore them as the Driver too came down.

"I no be passenger, leave me!!" David as he slapped one of the commercial drivers dragging him on the hand.

The entire thing was chaotic but soon dissolved when they realized that he wasn't paying any attention to them. The laborers went back to find other customers and the drivers left as well to find customers.
