Chapter 2:
A jokers world
The personsaid
"Now I grant you 3 wishes or 3 power whatever you need"
Hikaru stare at the person fae and says "what....why?"
The person gets a little close to hikaru and says "because they might come in help to you for full filling my request.its not a simple world like you are living in now, magic is concept percent in the world i am sending you to,the concept of mana,power scale,nobel families, and kingdom control by the king are also percent int that world,ah.. but don't worry it's not like i am sending you to fight some powerful magician there,you jus have to save an old women there and that's my only wish"
Hikaru while trying to process all this a questions pops up in hikaru mind and he quickly ask the person
"You will send me to another world right"
In reply the person says "yes. A whole another world different from yours"
Hikaru then ask another follow up question
"Then will i be able to come back from that world to my original world?"
The person looks down and says "sorry but that can't be possible"
Hikaru gets scared and says
"th...then I don't want to do this.my sister will be alone in that house even if you have cured her illnesses i don't think it will be that easy for her to keep living without anyone to depend on and we also doesn't have any money so she needs to find a stable job but due to cancer she wasn't able to go to any university,she have to work at part time her whole life for what reason, just to not die of hunger? She doesn't have anyone who she can spend her time with, rant about her worries her friend are already at a settled family they will not be able to support her that much. What will be the reason for her to live in the world, not to mention my sudden disappearance will also confuse her and she will start looking for me and I will not be found by her because I will not be persent in the world, so she will chase a goal which is to find me which she will never be able to achieve.There are to many negative point for me in this deal, my main goal to free her from her suffering will not be achieved so I won't be able to make this deal with you so sorry"
The person again looks down and says with sad tone
"I understand that. But I am sorry I have already full filled my end of deal to save your sister from any further damage dealt by the disease and cure her from it, she not completely cured at the moment but my magic will slowly be able to recover her, so the deal is already set in motion now you have no other choice but to full fill your task" and he stares in hikaru eyes
Hikaru makes a face which clearly says then all of it is on vain.he thinks he no other choice but to hope that she finds something better than searching for her brother which can keep her going then he says in low voice
"Then I don't need any of your wishes. what will be the meaning of me living on those wishes if I have nothing to look forward, to keep me going for"
The person catches the words 'don't need any of your wishes' then smiles and says
"That's a good idea, yes it can help both you and me"
Hikaru looks at the person and says
"What do you mean?"
The person raise his hands hand, point finger at his own head and says
"You have given me a good idea. Now listen for me to summon you in the other world which is my original world and give you 3 wishes I also have to give somethings in return, so If I remove 1 of your wishes then I can get something back and one of those things was that I can never go back to my world as a soul or proper living person, so for you giving up on 1 wish i can take that part back and go to my world with you.. yes I can also go back now, thank you for the gift ah... what's your name"
Hikaru answers " it's hikaru"
Ther person then bow and says in joy
"Thank you sir hikaru! And you may call me Aki"
Hikaru then ask
"Aki i understand how it will help you but what will be my profit in it, how will it help me?"
Aki replies
"I will allow you to take your sister with you in my world,then you wouldn't have to worry about your sister and you will still have reasons to live for."
Hikaru smiles like he found a ray of hope and says
"Really really really, thank you thank you so much"
Aki looks at hikaru smile , then says while smiling himself
"Ah! You care too much for your sibling what a adorable view"
Then aki clicks his fingers and calls yuki in the white area. When yuki appears there she fell down on the floor.hikaru stares at yuki while being suprised then quickly runs towards her and hug her while asking
"Yuki! Are you okay? did your pain went away ? And why do you look so much younger? What did you did aki?"
Aki approaches towards them and says
"It's was necessary to treat her illnesses she turned back to 17 years by the way you are also turned back to 17 years because of summoning her here"
Hikaru ask " aa. Ok but why 17?"
Aki replies "it was the age where she still wasn't that much affected by the disease and had lower no of cancerous cells i can't revrse her age more because I don't have that much of power,i have cast spell which will help her healing and fighting the cancerous cell and making her body fully fit and fine"
Yuki who was listening to them talking pushes away her brother and says
"Who is he brother? And where are we? And why don't I feel my legs i can't move them"
Hikraru looks at aki seeking for answer.aki answer saying
"It wasn't able perfected magic to begin with,i was the only who invented it and used it with another person thre are some flow here and there for example there is also a half beast persent here but you can't see and hear him I also thought it was strange. But rest assure your sister legs will be able to work again like normal in some time and also you will be able to see the half beast with time passing I guarantee you. Ah and one more thing you might also start behaving like your age"
Hikaru sighs in relief, then asks yuki
"Are you okay?"
Yuki replies "ah. Yes expect for the legs i can't feel them, but explain me brother what is this place and where are we?"
Then hiakru explains everything to yuki from the beginning. Then yuki asks
"I am thankful for the fact that you helped me but u don't understand if you are that powerful why didn't you helped the person you want brother to save yourself?"
Hikaru also questions it and looks at aki
Aki with sad face replies
"Both me and the half beast here were sacrificed by a noble family in my world.we are not dead but we can't do anything they offered our half our life to some demon there in exchange for what they needed so we used this spell to summon someone to help the person, the old whom we ask you to save. Now then tel, me your 2 wishes or power whatever you need'
Hikaru understands the situation and asks
"Is there any time limit like you can only give me the power while I am here or before going to your world?
Aki replies "No, you can ask me to give you power whenever you want."
Hikaru says "Then I want to put it in holds i will think about what type of power I want and ask you to grant me it whenever I fill necessary.
Aki replies "ok. A nice decision you made there."
In Hikaru mind another question came so he asks
"What about my sister she will aslo need power to protect herself in that world"
Aki replies" don't worry you both will have the power to control the mana in surrounding use spell etc.not everyone can do that in my world but you will be able to due to get caught in this summoning."
Hikaru and aki stands up.hikaru the says to aki
"Then shall we go to your world"
Aki asks them "are you both ready"
Hikaru and yuki nods in agreement. Then aki walks a little forward and says "we are going to fall get ready" and claps his hands.
They starts falling downward as looking up seeing the white room going far away.hikaru holds yuki thinking they might fall from great height on the ground so to not get hurt he carry yuki in her arms.Then they slowly sees a light approaching them and then they slowly fall on the land of other world,the world where aki lived.
The first thing hikaru and yuki sees when they open their eyes was a sight of an old lady sitting on ground under a tree which had white leaves and black flowers at the ends.aki was their with them floating in the sky.he notices the lady and shouts loudly towards hikaru and yuki
"It's her! You have to save her.you have to take actions now or she will die"
Hearing that while carrying yuki, hikaru runs towards the tree.
The old lady sees the approaching towards her she asks them "do you need something from me mister?"
Hikaru reaches towards her and says while panting "we.. we are here to save you? And puts down yuki under the tree with the old lady
A little far away from them,from the ground a creature made of skeleton yuki and hikaru never seen before comes out.when he comes up on the surface the atmosphere of that area changes fully.it wents from day to night there is nothing visible in the sky neither moon nor stars.the Skeleton was wearing a white robe covering his shoulder and arms while only his stomach area and legs were visible. He didn't had hips,in place of them there were spinal cord bones which were a little bigger and coming out front side while coiling upon it self like a sea horse tail, he had three face skeleton of different styles one at top one at middle and one where the spinal cord starts coming out front and getting bigger.
Aki shouts at hikaru" this is bad news you have to do something quickly before he takes any action or you are doomed"
Hikaru replies back in hesitation "but what do I do? I can't ask you for any power because I still don't know anything about him so I don't want to make a wrong decision,ah...what about a spell tell me any spells which can help me fight him"
Hikaru advances towards them Skeleton
Aki comes closer to yuki and shouts at hikaru "You can't do any high level spells without anyone wand,without high-level spell you will surely lose, don't approach him come back and ask this old lady for a wand tell her my name she will give you one"
As hikaru try to follow aki order and turn back the skeleton points his finger at hikaru, ghe finger breaks and falls at the same time hikaru feels heavy pressure and fells on ground. The pressure gets heavier and heavier, hikaru gets more and more buried in the ground.yuki sees it and yells "brother" Then she'll looks towards them old woman and says
"Grandma we were sent here by aki he said if I tell you his name you will give us a wand pls give it to me quickly"
The old lady understands what was going on she touches the ground near the tree.the ground starts shaking, first roots come out from ground then a stone, then the stone breaks and a wand appears from it's inside.its color was a mixture of white and gray, it was a beautiful wand.
Yuki quickly grabs the wand and asks aki to tell her any spell.aki replies her to say 'Demay' while pointing the wand toward the skeleton.Yuki follows aki commands and repeats 'Demay'.
The ground below the skeleton disappears and his full Skeleton starts to break and the ground reappears ,the broken bones fells on the ground and hikaru was able to get free from the pressure.he sits on the ground while coughing.the old lady takes yuki towards hikaru and then yuki and old lady asks hikaru
"Are you okay? Is anything else happening to you inside your body?"
Hikaru replies" nah... I am fine"
Yuki hugs hikaru with teary eyes.hikaru calms her down then looks at aki and says
"Looks like the the deal is complete "
Then hikaru looks around little and asks
"Now what?"
