A Journey Through The Worlds 90 The Stingy Old Man.

Randy was a little bit unhappy with his ability at first as he considered it quite weak when compared to Katherine's or Leonard's abilities, but then Dan told him how there was many beast and strong monsters in this new world and that if his ability grew strong enough then who knows maybe even controlling a dragon won't be a problem which made him understand that his ability wasn't as weak as he thought, and also just him dealing with that little bird was fun so he accepted It soon enough.

"Pretty normal, it's just that this little guy wakes up so early each morning for food and for some reason he find it as one of his responsibilities to wake me up" Randy said as he glared at the little bird, as if knowing what he meant the little bird just turned its head to the opposite side, not looking at him at all.

"Glad to see that you are enjoying your new lifestyle with the little bird" Dan said with a smile.

Then he looked at the far west in the horizon, he was thinking about what was waiting them in the new area that they were going to enter, he understood that they weren't that far from the new area but unlike the others he wasn't just blindly wis.h.i.+ng for them to make It there, instead he was a little bit afraid about what was waiting them there.

The Insects world, it was quite a dangerous place full of monsters and danger in each corner, yet he understood that they had to stop there and he was preparing for that since they left the sh.o.r.e in the dragons' area and even more after they understood where the were really going after they entered the Insects area, that was the reason why in many occasions he gave them dragons blood, it was all in order to make them stronger then they were, everyone in the team actually, he wanted all if them to at least have the power to protect themselves.

Thinking about this he remembered something as he asked:

"How is Barry doing, did his ability show any sign of awakening"

That's right the soul weapon was given to Barry after Randy finally awakened his ability after all it was already decided that old Frank and Barry would be given the soul weapon after all of them were done using it.

And Barry's ability was quite a surprise to them, it hadn't awakened yet but from what happened when they released an arrow from the soul weapon it seemed as if it had something to do with speed, as when he released the arrow it moved in such an astonis.h.i.+ng speed that it surprised all of them there, it was only a little bit short of when Robin released his arrow and it teleported to appear next to the target instantly.

"No not yet, but the soul weapon was given to him just recently so we have to wait a little bit more to see if it's going to awake" Randy said.

"Yeah you're right" Dan nodded.

"Dan I got an idea, why shouldn't we ask the people on the s.h.i.+p and see if any of them have memories about living in Nero, Any and Robin's world, that way we will know what type of abilities they had and if we find one that is going to be important for us we will gave them the soul weapon after, Barry and old Frank got done with it" after a while pa.s.sed Randy finally said this.

His words did surprise Dan a little as it was quite a good idea and he wondered why they didn't think of it much sooner 'it isn't because the author forgot it, absolutely not'.

"Yeah we really should try that later at the dining room when everyone is there" Dan nodded after he thought about it and found that they could got a lot of advantages from that

It can also be a good way to avoid what Randy had to go through, which js not being sure about his ability and stumbling in the dark before finally finding out.

Because of all if them being there. the dining room become the place where all the important things were announced and discussed.

They talked there for a while till it was launch time as they stood up and headed toward the dining room.

When they entered they found that almost everyone was already there, Dan and Randy headed toward the table where the others were and set down after greeting them.

Because of her relations.h.i.+p with Any, little Ru started having her meals in the same table as them, at first she was a little bit shy and didn't want to set in the same table with them but after a while she finally got used to it and she started acting normally again, and no one in the group found anything wrong about little Ru setting with them in the same table, especially Robin who was so happy that his sister get a new friend that he almost started crying, who knows he might even have cried when no one was looking. After all the differences between how Any was at first and how she was acting at that time were so big. She as a girl that rarely showed her emotions or tried to get close to people was having a good friend who she spent most of her time with, and she was also smiling more and having more fun then when it was just the two of them.

They set around the table. had launch together. before Dan finally stood up and clapped his hands after he saw that everyone had finished eating, and said:

"Everyone may I have your attention please?"

This who were talking with each other all turned silent, while those that were getting ready to leave to their rooms or to do their jobs or whatever they wanted to do set down again, seeing that Dan nodded his head before saying:

"Everyone I need to ask you something, is there any people who have memories of a world where people in it have abilities just like Robin here can teleport and Leonard can control fire"

The people there stayed silent for a while while looking at each other not understanding why he was asking them about that, it wasn't till a short moment pa.s.sed that a voice sounded out, it sounded a little bit familiar to Dan:

"I have memories of such a world"

Looking at the source of the voice Dan saw that it was the weird gate keeper who talked.

Dan was surprised for a little but he smiled nodded his head to Allan before saying while looking at the others:

"Anyone else, don't worry there's nothing to worry about at all"

A few seconds after he finished his words three other people lifted their hands into the air.

Seeing that Dan smiled and called the four to their table before saying to Allan:

"Allan can you please tell me if you remember what ability you had in that world"

"Yeah I remember, it was something like me Being able to split myself into three different people and each of then had advantages in term of one aspect, one of them was strong I mean way stronger then a normal human, the second one was fast his speed was unbelievable and the third one was a smart man with a flexible mind, he could come up with solutions to many different and hard problems in short amounts of time, and also all the three of them were still me so they had kind if a link between them" Allan though for a while. trying to organize his thoughts before saying that.

Hearing about the ability that he had Dan was surprised as it was quite an interesting ability and it also could help its owner a lot:

"Thank you, Allan, can you three can you please tell me about what kind of abilities you had" Dan first thanked Allan before turning his had to the others.

Those three people looked at each other not knowing who should talk first till finally a man who had a strong big body which easily pa.s.sed two meters stood up, the man who stood up used to be a blood power user before joining them:

"I too can remember my ability there, it was the ability to turn my body into something like diamond, and that gave me a great defensive power, not a lot of people were able to hurt me in that world, and also that defensive power wasn't the only thing that my ability gave me, it also made me able to turn my two hands into any shape I want, so I could turn them into weapons that were made of the same undestroyable material" the man's voice was the same as how he appeared strong and loud.

The man's ability was also good and a unique ability which could be used in many situations, and it could help its owner survive many dangers.

The other remaining two were both crewmen who decided o follow Dan and his group, they looked at each other and one of them, the man who seed to be older stood up and said:

"For me I had the ability to treat people, to heal I mean, I would release a green light from my hand and as it fall on an injured person or an ill person they would start healing, I remember that I was quiet known for it"

Dan showed a surprised expression as that was quite a handy ability that they would really need in their journey especially that they were going to such a dangerous world like the insects world where they wouldn't know where the danger would come from.

At that moment Dan decided that he would give the soul weapon to that man after Barry would awake his ability and after him he would give it to old Frank who was supposed to have it after Barry.

The last remaining person stood up as he saw that almost everyone was looking at him, he was a crewman who seemed to be quite young, he said as he looked at Dan nervously:

"I... I remember that I had the ability to turn invisible, I would disappear from one place in front if everyone there and they wouldn't even feel me, I also somehow remember that even people with sensing abilities wouldn't be able to feel me, they didn't have the chance of that at all I remember that I only feared a group of people called the seven G.o.ds and there closest aide"

Even though that man talked in a somehow of a hesitating voice what he said was a big surprise to Dan and brought a big shock to Nero and Robin.

Robin even said with an unbelievable tone while looking at Nero:

"That explanation sounds familiar don't you think"

Nero wasn't better as he too had a surprised expression on his face, it wasn't till he heard Robin's question that he nodded his head and said:

"Yes it does it sound like that stingy old man"

Dan looked at those two questioningly before turning his head to that young man and saying:

"It's alright you can relax and all of you can return to what you were doing"

He knew that Robin and Nero knew something about that last young man but he didn't want others to know about it, at least not yet.

After most of the people in the dining room left Dan turned his head to the two and said:

"So can you tell me what you two were talking about, and who this stingy old man is"

Robin laughed and said:

"We think that that young man is the same as Katherine, an influenced character in his last life, I mean... our world"

His words caught Dan's interest as he asked them with raised eyebrows:

"Really, what was he known for"

"He was known for being a thief, and the name that the people there gave him was the Stingly Old Man, he was known for having an ability which was simply overpowered, almost no sensing ability could feel him and he almost had a death wish and a heart of steel. for his wealth he would do anything, so he only feared the seven G.o.ds and their strongest men and except them he feared no one and he dared to steal from everyone, that's the Stingy Old Man" Nero said while shaking his head.
