LIFEBOOK

Episode 9

The sun continues to move west. The air temperature begins to rise, warming the cold morning air in the fall.

The typical traditional market atmosphere makes any person nostalgic for the past. People are jostling, buying and selling. It was heard from various corners of the voices of traders who were promoting their merchandise.

This place looks like a traditional market, but very clean and orderly, in contrast to traditional markets usually.

"Give me chicken breast, carrot, mushroom ear, garlic and red bottom. Oh, and pepper." Lucia is currently busy looking for groceries for our dinner.

"Good, Neng. Ready it! Wait a minute" The merchant immediately complied with the request from Lucia.

"It's not strange if I'm called Neng. My name is Lucia, please call me Lucia!" Lucia looks uncomfortable when others call her Neng. How not, before Lucia was an old grandmother, and somehow now she is back to being a 16-year-old girl.

"Haha. Sorry, okay, Lucia's deck."  The merchant laughed at Lucia's funny behavior.

"Hmm, do I look weird?" Lucia was offended.

"No, there's nothing weird about you. This is your groceries, Lucia. Total Rp.150.000" The merchant handed over Lucia's groceries.

Lucia took her little bag, she reached into the pocket and took the money inside. Then Lucia gave it to the merchant.

"Thank you!" While taking the groceries that Lucia bought.

Lucia also walked towards another merchant's stall.

"It's too heavy" Of course, he brought the groceries himself. At the moment, his body has not fully recovered.

Lucia carried the big plastic bag with both hands. He kept walking despite the difficulty of taking her.

In the end Lucia fell, but not because of her luggage but because of the earthquake that had just occurred.

"What's? What happened" Lucia quickly got up to stand by.

Before long, there was a very loud bang, so loud that it was able to change the atmospheric pressure around this market.

People were panicking, running around without direction, busy saving each other's lives. Even the animals that seemed to know of the danger of this incident, ran away from this area.

The surrounding air pressure became strange, the sound of the bang was heard after the following, especially the earthquake that occurred simultaneously, was an abnormal event.

The situation is getting out of control, Lucia is pushed by a person who is jostling, running to save herself.

Lucia suspects that what is happening right now is not a natural phenomenon, but rather that someone is causing this to happen. Of course, considering earlier he had even seen something beyond human reason.

Lucia tried to analyze the surroundings carefully. He closed his eyes, trying to recall the previous events.

It did not take long, Lucia connected what was in her memory, something that was interconnected with the events that happened to her.

"Don't! An ancient book like Lutfi!?" Lucia suspects the owner of another book was involved in this incident.

Although it was only a temporary deduction, Lucia's thinking was very sharp. He was formerly a professor of Epigraphy, as well as a highly influential academic. Although at the moment her body did not reflect it all, she currently only looked like a student, a 16-year-old girl.

Lucia immediately ran away from this dangerous place, she ran with all her might, desperately to save herself.

Buildings began to collapse, the flakes flying irregularly carried away by the swirling wind. Followed by the market stand building that began to disintegrate in the wind, spinning very fast around this market.

Some people had made it out of this place, but there were still thousands of people trapped. They did not have enough time to go on the run, gathering in an evacuation building.

Lucia confirmed her determination. Rise from the fall, and try to get to the evacuation site. Walking holding the walls are still solid, but it seems that the walls made of concrete are not able to survive against the earthquake and the storm is very extraordinary.

The concrete wall that supported the building cracked, and began to collapse.

"Damn, when I have been given the opportunity to repeat my life. I was given the opportunity to help that man, but..." Lucia was desperate for what happened to her.

Lucia looked up at the sky, she saw something shining, it was someone floating on the horizon.

The ruins of the towering building began to fall, and headed towards Lucia. But strangely enough, the wreckage stopped just before it hit Lucia. The ruins were shrouded in a dark blue light. As if time had stopped.

Lucia closed her eyes, she leaned back, sitting among the ruins. "Aahhh, even in my last moment, at a time like this I was hallucinating" Lucia laughed softly.

"No, you're not hallucinating, Lucia. Are you all right?" There were two people floating and shining, as if the light was enveloping him. Rays of emerald green and dark purple light. The two people landed slowly and gently.

It was Lutfi and sharman.

...

.

"Sorry, we're late. I have to get used to flying" I helped Lucia stand up.

"Thank God, I'm worried if something happens to you, Lutfi. Who's she?" Lucia's marketing who's the guy next to me.

"He is sharman. The details I'll tell you later, after we finish this" I looked at the person on the horizon.

That figure is terrible. The black aura he emanated was extremely dangerous.

"Lutfi, you take him to the refuge, and come back soon" Sharman seems troubled by the figure's whereabouts.

"All right, I'll be right back. Please hold it until I arrive." I immediately carried Lucia, and floated away from this place.

Sharman went in the opposite direction. He floated and shot towards that figure.

"Kufufu, I expected you'd be lured in with this, Sharman. User of the destiny book" The figure turned his body towards Sharman.

"You! Who're you?" Sharman asked who was in front of him.

The figure was wearing a red robe that was both exquisite and terrifying. The motifs on his cloak emanated a combination of colors that were covered in black smoke.

From the looks of it, he was a man who was about 30 years old. His eyes were black, with golden pupils and red reflections around him. That was so horrible.

"Do I have to tell my identity to the one who's about to disappear?" He answered with a question.

"To be right, I don't need to know who you are. But your whereabouts are very dangerous" Sharman pulled out his sword, he darted off to launch an attack.

The destiny book floating around him opened the page very quickly, signaling the figure was extremely dangerous.
