Rifts: Why Choosen Ones are my enemy?
Chapter 25: New living place
A skinny guy, wearing a cap on his head walking on the street, his hands resting on his pants pocket, he stopped in front of a shop, and watched the news channel playing on tv.
The news was related to his school.
"A lot less deaths compared to my last life." Alex muttered and started walking again. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket and opened the calendar app.
If I remember correctly the next rift is going to appear within two or three months in New York.
Unlike other rifts which were just appearing and closing after destroying some area. This is going to bring new enemies.
Werewolf which feast on human flesh and blood.
But, for him it’s a perfect opportunity to level up early, ahead of everyone.
Another thing, some people are randomly going to awaken abilities though In his last life he wasn’t from them.
Why was my luck so bad? He thought and placed his mobile phone back into his pocket. I hope it’s not the same in this life.
Anyway, those people who relied on their luck are pathetic, unlike them he earned his ability through hard work.
They would be just stepping stones for him.
He recalled some more information. The crime rate is going to increase, and many illegal and legal forces will be formed, with ability users becoming their backbone.
He was planning to join one of such forces.
Because if he works alone toward his goal, he is going to be targeted by everyone, and he will encounter much less opportunities and more obstacles.
The only thing giving him an uneasy feeling is that girl—Malica. Because of her, many things have already changed.
If she knows about future events. I hope she won’t become my enemy or do anything stupid,. she is most likely knows the future.

The luxurious silver car enters through a heavy metal gate. It drove around a big, beautiful garden toward a tall building with ROMOROSE written on the top.
The car stopped in front of the building. Liza stepped out of the car first followed by Alice.
"My angel, time to wake up." Elizabeth said, softly shaking Victor.
"Hm," Victor mumbled as he sat up.
He followed his mother and exited the car, Elizabeth closed the door behind him.
Victor looked up at a massive skyscraper in front of him, all his sleepiness disappeared. "So, Cool!"
Alice is also looking up with sparkling eyes. "Sister Elizabeth, did you buyed this?"
"Nope, I only buyed the land. The building came after." Elizabeth said. It’s taken eight years to finally become ready.
"Let’s go in," Liza moved first followed by others.
They stepped through a glass doorway, which was opened by some guards. Victor saw many people inside.
"Why are there so many people?" Victor asked.
"Baby, it’s security, don’t worry, they’re only on the lower floors." Elizabeth said, knowing well he doesn’t like strangers or crowded places, one of the reasons her sister wants to send him to school, so he can improve his social skills.
They walked to one private elevator, its door opened automatically and they entered.
"By the way, your new friends are also living in this building," Liza said.
"Oh? They send a lot of messages asking me where I live and they want to meet me." Victor said, don’t know what to do.
"You can invite them to our new living place." Liza said, with smile.
"Okay." Victor shrugged.
"You doesn’’t look excited to meet your new friends."
"They’re noisy."
Liza ruffled his hair. " Wasn’t it your idea to stick together?"
"Bad idea."
"Invite your friends tomorrow I will prepare snakes for them." Alice said.
"Baby, if you don’t like them just ignore them."
"Really!"
"No," Liza spoke before his mother. "They decided to change their home, because of your idea, now you can’t ignore them...take responsibility."
"No, they wanted to live with their friends, so If I ignored them they wouldn’t mind me...," He looked at Liza giving a growing look. " Fine, I Invite them tomorrow..," He turned to his mother, "why does she always get angry for no reason."
Elizabeth shook her head. "Baby, I have no idea."
"Go ahead, you join too." Liza turned Alice
"I would never." Alice denied. Just then the elevator door opened.
Stepping out of the elevator, they enter a massive, open-concept living area with soaring five-meter-tall ceilings. Victor and Alice walked ahead looking around.
It’s not a corridor, it’s like a big luxurious living room, attached to other rooms. The living room’s outer wall is made of glass. Walking closer when they looked down through glass everything appeared so tiny.
Other buildings are at a very long distance, but they don’t see any buildings as tall as theirs.
"How was it, do you guys like it, our new living place.’’ Elizabeth asked from behind
"yes" Both Victor and Alice said togather.
"Mama, which is our room?"
"Don’t you think you’re big enough to sleep alone," Liza said, as she sat on the off-white couch that was placed in the center of the living room.
" No!" Saying that Victor ignored her.
"Yes, No, " Elizabeth said, smiling, and looked at her sister before walking away with Victor to choose their room.
Liza rolled her eyes and begins to tell some things to Alice, like this is a private elevator only used by them, if they have guests or deliveries they would come through the front door, which directly opens in this huge living room.

Some Hours later at night, before going to bed Victor massages Jully, Jussica and Gwen , they keep asking his addresses so he sends them the same copy past message that He lives at the top floor in the same building they’re living in.
Like always, Victor slept with his mother.
The next morning .
Elizabeth woke up first , she kissed her baby Angel, before slowly leaving the bed she didn’t wake him up. Since he had no school— forget school. she’s never sending him alone anywhere ever again.
He must stay within her reach, or with Sister Liza.
Good thing he doesn’t like to go out.
She’s restricting Alice too. If she wants to go anywhere she must take her or sister Liza with her. Since, she doesn’t have any ability to protect herself if something unexpected happens.
I also need to get stronger.
Now the world has turned so chaotic. Just money, normal human limited protection wasn’t enough to protect her little family. Luckily she had a way, she just had to get her ability to work.
But, for that she needs to find alien creatures or maybe any life form would do, animals or humans.
I should test on someone.
