Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 107 107: The Fifth Day

(The next day)

Corey who was on his bed had a small frown on his face as he slept. He turned and mumbled some words in his sleep with his frown deepening slightly.

Bam

Bam

Just as Corey turned once more, loud bangs resounded from the door of his residence.

Corey frowned slightly and a few seconds later, he opened his eyes.

'When did I start having nightmares about the night that I lost my sister?'

Corey frowned slightly as he had this thought, and just as he had this thought,

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Three heavy knocks resounded from his door.

Corey looked at his door with a frown, and just as he was about to stand so as to open the door, the door which did not have a door handle slid to the left, allowing those or the person that disturbed his sleep to enter Corey's abode.

"Couldn't you hear us knock you piece of shit?"

A man wearing black trousers and a black short sleeved t-shirt with a design of a hand holding a planet on the black t-shirt spoke with a tone containing anger.

Beside this man was another man who was also wearing the same cloth as this man. This man also had an expression that contained anger, annoyance and impatience.

Corey glanced at the men before his eyes moved to the design on their t-shirts which symbolized the Underworld.

Every person working for the Underworld wore this t-shirt and according to Divine, if there's a star or more than one star on the t-shirt, then it signifies the level of importance of the official.

According to Divine, the highest number of stars he knew of were 9. Though, Divine has never seen somebody with a nine star or even eight star.

Corey seeing no star on the t-shirts of the two men also knew what that meant,

'Former tier 1 or tier 0 residents of the Underworld who decided to work for the Underworld, at the cost of their freedom.'

Corey thought and just as he had this thought, the man who had not spoken, spoke with anger in his tone:

"We asked you a question you piece of shit.

Didn't you hear us knock?"

Corey looked at the man and with a nonchalant expression and tone, he replied:

"I was sleeping."

Hearing the nonchalance in Corey's tone, the anger in the hearts of the two men increased and Corey could see it clearly on their faces but he didn't care.

He stood up, looked around then walked towards the two men.

"Can we go. I don't have all day."

With an indifferent expression, Corey spoke and the two men looked at him with anger.

His indifferent expression, behavior and disrespect angered them, and what angered them the more was that they could not harm Corey unless Corey harmed them first.

Corey knowing this had no fear towards the two starless officials of the Underworld.

With a grunt, the two men turned and walked outside Corey's abode.

Corey followed and as soon as he did, the door to his house slid to the right, closing.

The two men walked towards a black vehicle with the design of the Underworld on the body.

The vehicle looked like a car but instead of tires, the car hovered above the ground.

The two starless officials entered the vehicle along with Corey and some seconds later, the car came to life and a second later, it moved.

Corey who was at the back seat looked outside the window of the car where he could also other residents of the Underworld performing their own businesses.

Some glanced at the vehicle since vehicles in the outer area were rare but when they saw the design of the Underworld, they scurried away in fear.

The outer area of the Underworld was a place that was akin but not really like the slums.

The reason why it was called the slums was because the quality of living here was terrible.

Divine told him that the outer area could definitely not be compared to real slums in the outside world, but compared to the inner and central area, it was definitely like the slums.

Corey wasn't exactly sure why Divine said that since he had not stepped out of his abode ever since the Underworld officials took him to his house.

But when Corey thought about Divine's words, a thought appeared in his mind.

'The Underworld keeps us as prisoners but with the way they've created the place, it's like they want some to forget the outside world and to just keep living here.

This place… might be a paradise, a heaven for some, but hell and a calamity for others.

This place… is actually much more dangerous than I thought.'

With an indifferent expression, Corey had his right cheek on his right hand as he looked at the changing scenery outside.

An hour and some minutes passed before the vehicle came to a stop.

The door beside Corey opened up and with an expression full of dislike, one of them spoke:

"Get out and walk to the elevator that leads to the Amphitheatre."

Without responding, Corey got out of the vehicle and when he turned, he saw an extremely tall structure which had no end.

This tall structure was the elevator that led the residents of the Underworld to either the meal room or the Amphitheatre.

This was not the only place that housed the elevators of the Underworld. There were many in the city of sin and one could definitely see them from afar.

Corey looked at the tall structure with a thoughtful expression for a few seconds, then he walked to the door of the elevator, with the two starless officials at his back.

He entered the elevator with the two starless officials and the moment they did, the elevator door closed.

"Take us to the Amphitheatre."

One of the two men spoke and after he spoke, a beep resounded and a robotic female voice spoke out loud.

[CHECKING PERMISSION]

…

[PERMISSION GRANTED]

The moment those words were spoken by the robotic female voice, Corey felt the elevator shift, then it moved upwards.

Corey looked up but all he saw was a white ceiling. He released a soft sigh and waited for the upcoming battle.
