Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



"Did you see anything?"

With an expression that no longer contained any sign of playfulness, Divine spoke as he looked at Dave who just finished drinking from his bottle.

Melissa, Fatty Black Bonez and Rosa, all looked at Dave with curious expressions, clearly wanting to know Dave's reply.

Meanwhile Triple X had a disinterested and bored expression, but then he frowned slightly and his eyes moved upwards, the image of the hanging corpse, up in the air reflected in his extremely, extremely black pupils which flickered with confusion for a moment but then he shrugged imperceptibly and looked away from the corpse, his eyes regaining their usual nonchalance, boredom and other negative feelings.

Dave released a soft sigh while wiping his lips, then his eyes became sober, extreme clarity appearing in them.

He looked in the direction Corey took as he left with a deep furrow of his brows for a few seconds, then without looking at Divine.

"We should leave this place, it's too out in the open."

Divine and the remaining members of the group apart from Triple X looked around and when they saw the subtle glances at them from a few people in the crowd, Divine nodded, then he spoke:

"You're right, let's leave this place."

They all nodded and without saying a word, they all left, much to the disappointment of the eavesdroppers.

Seeing that there was nothing else to see around the suicide machine, the crowd started dispersing one after the other, leaving behind the friend of the hanged corpse.

The girl had a blank expression as she looked at the corpse of her best friend, still unable to comprehend how their lives, how her life had become what it currently was. [A/N: The girl that committed suicide is the girl that was raped first by Savage. She's the one that was screaming the most. I forgot to put that in the previous chapters.]

A tear escaped her right eye a few seconds later and she absentmindedly placed her right hand on her stomach and closed her eyes.

Just as she closed her eyes, a ghost-like bird appeared from the corpse and with a flap of her wings, the ghost like bird which could not be seen or detected by normal eyes and means, moved, then went in the direction of Divine and his group members.

Around forty five seconds later, Divine and the remaining group members sat around a table, and with intrigued expressions, all except Triple X, looked at Dave.

Seeing most of his group members looking at him, Dave nonchalantly drank from his bottle for a few seconds then he released a satisfied sigh.

He looked up and his brows furrowed slightly, then with a soft sigh, he spoke:

"I didn't see anything."

"… What?"

Divine asked with a baffled expression, not expecting such a response from Dave at all.

"What do you mean by you didn't see anything?"

Divine asked once again, a hint of confusion and slight frustration emerging unto his face.

"Like I said… I didn't see anything."

Dave spoke as he had a pondering expression with a hint of confusion and frustration.

"I tried to look at his Fate and future, but I couldn't see anything… It was like… he had no connection to Fate… and his future... couldn't be seen… It was… extremely strange… and disturbing."

Divine's brows furrowed deeply, his mind forming numerous thoughts and just as he was thinking, Dave continued speaking.

"Because of how strange it was, I even tried to use a self harming skill that would use out of my life span to see his Fate, but just as I was about to do that, I saw my Fate and I knew that if I did… I would face irrecoverable damages."

Divine leaned back while rubbing the middle of his brows. He moved his hand from the upper part of his face to the lower part of his face while releasing a sigh.

"Do you know what could have changed? You could at least see something from his Fate before.

You told me that his life was going to be filled with lots of peril, darkness and death, so much darkness and death that it even scared you."

"What happened? Why can't you see anything now?"

Divine asked as he calmed himself down, pushing down his frustrations.

Meanwhile, Dave shrugged and drank from his bottle once again, his finger trembling ever so slightly.

"I don't know. It has to be because of his tier up. Maybe his class, or something happened during his tier up."

With a nonchalant tone, Dave spoke, then he took another drink from his bottle. As he drank from his bottle, he looked at Divine who was deep in thoughts.

"Why are you so interested in him by the way? On the first day that he came here, you told me to find out about his Fate which is… strange… So would you care to tell us why you're so interested in him?"

Divine looked at Dave and a strange glint flashed in his eyes for a second. He then looked at the remaining members of the group who had expressions showing that they were interested in his answer... even Triple X had a curious expression.

Divine looked at them for a few seconds, then a small smile emerged on his lips and he raised his hands up in the air.

"Alright, alright. So you guys caught me, the thing is that… from the time I laid my eyes on the kid, he became my crush and I was deeply infatuated with him."

Melissa, Dave, Rosa and Fatty Black Bonez all rolled their eyes, clearly not believing his words.

Triple X just looked away with a disinterested expression and his eyes went to a nearby table which had people eating on it.

A slightly confused and curious expression appeared on his face, then he turned away from the table and rested his head on his hand.

"You know, if you don't want to tell us why you're so interested in Smile… wait… we don't even know his real name."

Fatty Black Bonez who was about to reprimand Divine, had an expression of shock as he just realized that none of them knew the real name of their new member.

"Why are you talking, we don't even know your real name."

Melissa had raised brows as she looked at Fatty Black Bonez, causing Fatty Black Bonez to cough softly.

Divine chuckled and with his back resting on the backrest of the chair, he spoke.

"We can ask him the next time we see him. If he wants to tell us, he'll tell us…"

Divine paused, then he looked at Dave who was drinking from his bottle once again, his eyes went to Dave's hands which trembled minutely a few times.

He frowned slightly, then with a soft sigh, he spoke:

"Dave… sorry for asking you this, but since you can't see the kid's fate, can you check the fate of the group as a whole since the kid is part of the group now."
