Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Corey stood, frozen in confusion and shock, unable to comprehend what he just heard.

A few seconds passed and Becca who was still in his arms stopped hugging him and shook him slightly with a worried expression on her face.

She heard all that Anna said since she was extremely close to Corey and to say she was shocked would be an understatement.

"Corey."

She spoke softly trying to bring Corey back to reality and it worked… fortunately or unfortunately.

Corey glanced at Becca for a fraction of a second before his mind recalled the words of his sister and he completely forgot the existence of Becca.

"Anna? Are you still there?

Tell me this is all a joke right?

It's one of your jokes right?

Mom and Dad are not dead right?

They're probably in the background, playing along with this prank right?"

With each sentence spoken, Corey's heart pounded intensely, his pupils shook uncontrollably, his breathing became unstable and his mind was an utter mess.

Although he asked those questions, he knew from the tone of his sister's earlier words and the fact that she called him 'brother' instead of 'onii chan' meant she was not joking, it meant she was not kidding and their parents were truly dead.

"I'm not joking brother. Everybody is dead…

They're all dead.

They killed them, he killed them, all of them."

Corey's heart squeezed hearing the pain filled voice from his sister, he could hear her sob with heart wrenching pain.

"Anna."

"Who killed them?"

He asked with a broken and slightly hoarse voice.

"I don't know who they are.

They were wearing dark red robes that had designs of two black axes diagonally joined together all over the robes.

They were also wearing plain black masks.

They just came out of nowhere and attacked all of us.

Corey please help."

'Black axes joined together like a cross?'

Hearing his sister's words, something clicked in Corey's mind as he tried to remember where he had seen something that was familiar with what his sister just described.

"Anna, where are you? Tell me where you are and what is your condition. Are you badly injured?"

Putting aside the description his sister told him, he asked about her condition and location.

He needed to know where she was and if she was okay physically.

"I'm injured but not too injured. I'm hiding in a building that's not too far from our house."

Hearing the words of his sister, he breathed a soft sigh of relief and spoke:

"Just stay where you are and hide. I'm coming alright. I'm coming."

"Hmm. I'll wait and-"

BOOM!!!

"…"

"Anna?"

"Sis?"

"ANNA!"

Corey screamed and clutched his head with an expression filled with so many emotions when he saw that the call was cut off forcefully.

"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUUUCCCKKK!!!"

He cursed endlessly while clutching his head.

The biggest problem he was facing was how to reach his sister in the fastest time possible.

The distance between the academy and the city where his family lived was so far that when using a super fast train, it takes three hours to get to City M which was where their family lived.

Now if using a super fast train took three hours, one could imagine how long it would take Corey to reach his sister if he ran there.

He could not run as fast as the train and there was no vehicle he knew that could move as fast as the train.

In fact, even if there was a vehicle that could move that fast, could his sister last that long?

"God damn it!"

As all this thoughts ran through his mind, he cursed and the fear he had in his heart increased exponentially.

'Is there no way to get there on time?'

With despair, sadness and various other emotions in his eyes, he had this thought, but just as he had this thought, he heard a voice.

"Is your family in danger?"

He looked at the source and he was slightly surprised when he realized it was Ashley that spoke.

"Yes but they're in City M and I need to reach my sister quickly."

He replied and without saying anything, Ashley stretched out her hands which contained two items.

His ancient spear and a palm sized circular object.

He took both of them but he had an expression of confusion when he held the palm sized circular object.

Without waiting for Corey to ask, Ashley spoke:

"That is a teleportation item. Just crush it and imagine where you want to go. It should be able to take you to City M."

Hearing her words, Corey's eyes widened and his breathing became hurried.

"Thank you."

He said and without waiting for her response, he crushed it and his body became blurry before it disappeared entirely.

"I hope you'll be alright."

Ashley muttered as she looked at Corey's previous position. She then turned to look at her subordinates which had various expressions.

"We'll be going to City M so everyone gear up and look for vehicles that are working.

Anybody that has a family on our way to City M can meet their families. Also, if your family is in immediate danger, you can leave anytime."

"So, chop chop people and let's go!"

(Meanwhile Corey)

As Corey's form materialized, he felt slightly dizzy due to it been his first time teleporting. Three seconds later, his dizziness disappeared and he looked around.

At first he didn't recognize where he was due to the environment been so much different than what he remembered, a few seconds later, he realized that he was two streets away from his home.

He glanced at the once familiar streets which was now in ruins.

Destroyed houses and vehicles, burning houses and vehicles, corpses of both humans and even monsters littered the ground. There were even a few weak monsters walking around.

Using two seconds to look around, he found the way to his home and without a second's delay, he sprinted in that direction.

'Thunder Step'

'Please be alive Anna. Please be alive.'

Without hesitation, he used thunder step, all the while praying for his sister to still be alive.

A minute and some seconds later, Corey reached the street where his home was located.

His expression became grim when he saw so many human corpses on the ground and signs of a recent battle everywhere.

'Shit.'

He cursed internally and ran to where his home was located.

Some seconds later, he reached the location and when he did, a stunned expression appeared on his face.

"What the?"

In front of him was an extremely huge and beautiful mansion. Corey had only seen mansions like this on the internet and T.V shows. Never in his life did he think he would see a beautiful mansion like those in real life.

Two seconds later, Corey got out of his stunned expression and looked around.

"Where is she?"

BOOM!

He mumbled and just as he was about to take a step so as to look around, he heard a loud sound from afar and without hesitation, he ran towards the sound.

A few minutes later, he got closer to the source of the sound but when his eyes landed on the source, he stopped running, his pupils shook and his heart pounded intensely.

With fear and shock in his tone, he screamed.

"ANNA!!!"

[A/N: So people, sorry for not posting yesterday.

Was very tired and it even showed in my sleep since I slept for twelve hours straight and I'm not actually joking. It surprised me also, I didn't even know I was that tired.

I guess school and writing really took a toll on me.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that, the number of privilege chapters would just be 10.

I know I promised like 20 or so but honestly, I could only make it ten since school is more stressful than I thought.

So for those that expected 20 or so, I apologize.]
