STORY: Those Who Should Be Conquered

  Story By: Sun & Kevin E.S.P

It all began when Revelation was six years old. That summer, he found a golden apple lying on the sidewalk near his home after school, and without hesitation ate it.

Nothing unusual happened until he was hit by a car two months later. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but instead made the doctors and nurses who handled it surprised. Although covered in blood, there were not the slightest injuries all over his body. Even the hand that was previously believed to have been crushed by eyewitnesses, now looks fine.

At first, Revelation was pleased with this ability. He feels like a superhero. Because he can heal from even the worst of wounds. Unfortunately that changed when he sat on the bench of Junior High. He became a human for his friends. Every day he was beaten, kicked, sometimes with a cigarette, his body was also wrapped in rags. However, as his wound soon healed, there was no evidence that he was persecuted. The pain she felt was real.

The blessing has turned into a curse.

“Revelation!”

The young man who was sitting alone in the corner of the classroom gasped. He raised his face. Aris, the burly school basketball hero comes close. Her squinty look was so arrogant. He immediately squeezed the shoulders of Revelation.

“Come to the back of school.”

Besides Aris there are two best friends, Robi and Tio. Both were laughing happily.

And the last one is Renata, Aris' girlfriend. The girl crossed her arms looking at the Revelation with disdain.

Revelation looked disinclined but finally answered, “Ngak want.”

Aris's face was instantly flat upon hearing the answer.

“What?” tanyanya while scraping the ears.

“No,” Revelations.

“Basic!” Aris forcefully pulled the young man's arm. “Cute only!”

Revelation tries to wriggle, but Robi and Tio join in holding it. Eventually the young man was dragged into the back yard of the school. Along the way many saw, but none raised their voices. For them, this is common. Aris is an accomplished student who is dear to the teacher, while Revelation is nothing.

“You dare to fight yes, now? Already feel like a hotshot?!” aris exclaimed as they reached the back yard of the school. Then he pushes Revelation until nyungsep.

“Why...” Revelations. “I'm wrong what?”

“Your fault? Don't pretend ****!” Aris kicked the head of Revelation. “You humiliated Renata during a math lesson! Because you pretentious can answer when the teacher asks Renata!”

Revelation soon remembers. At that time Renata was joking with his compatriot, so the teacher was angry. Renata was immediately asked a question. Because Renata could not answer, finally, Revelation asked to answer the question.

“I didn't mean it!” exclaim Revelation. “I'm just—”

Aris traces the bowels of Revelation, “Bacot!”

Revelation complained. Her stomach was churning. Although the wound will heal, the pain still hurts.

The young man could not stand it anymore. He rises.

“Then why don't you just answer the question! Help your stupid boyfriend! Or are you just as stupid?!”

Aris and Renata instantly glared at the same time. Robi yells, then punches the face of Revelation. Tio also nudged his kick to the waist. Revelation is completely overwhelmed. He tried to defend, but the attack came on end.

Robi and Tio immediately did so obediently. Robi smothers Revelation's hands and neck, while Tio holds both ankles.

“Aris,” said Renata. “You brought the knife, right?”

“Iyap.” The young man smiled evilly. He pulled out a knife from his pocket, then approached Revelation. He opened the belt of Revelation, then reduced his pants.

“Aris! Aris!” The revelations began to panic. “What do you want?” However, his body could only struggle like a caterpillar. Robi and Tio's handles are too strong.

“I want to cut a little. You can heal yourself. Curious not anyway, if this I cut later will grow a new one or how?”

Revelation cannot imagine what the pain would be.

“Tidaaaaaaaaaa!!! Help u! Anyone!”

Suddenly both arms of Revelation grew. Thanks to that he was able to release the Robi lock easily. Then he punched Aris in the nose. Renata who was recording just gaped to see the incident.

Then the hand of Revelation stretched. He grabbed the cellphone held by Renata and immediately he crushed it like he was squeezing dry leaves.

“What is this? What the fuck?” said Aris who was still staggering. Nose nosebleed.

Revelation was chasing the boy. He hit Aris in the face, then his stomach, then his face again. Suddenly Robi and Tio ambush him from behind. However, Revelation enlarged her size to the size of a muscular adult, then slammed the two men. Somehow Revelation managed to discover new abilities. Besides being able to heal himself, now he can also manipulate everything in his body.

It is happening now, but Revelation can feel it clearly.

“Death to you *******!”

Aris stabbed the waist of Revelation. The young man flinched. But he's used to it. So he grabbed Aris' wrist, grabbed her tightly, then broke her.

“Aaaaaaaaaargh!!”

Aris screamed in pain until she rolled on the ground. Robi and Tio wanted to help, but they were too afraid to get close. The body of the Revelation that was so huge looked like a monster.

Revelation comes to both. He broke at least one of their bones. However, their treatment during this time must be reciprocated, and once completed, Revelation returns to its usual form—the form of teenagers who are always viewed as trash in school. Unfortunately, his clothes were torn everywhere.

Revelation sighed deeply, and tried to remain calm. “Yes... I don't think I can overdo it... “

The last one is Renata. The girl was shaking. When Revelation looked at him, he ran. Revelation extended her hand, then slapped the girl's ankle until it fell. He immediately fell on Renata's body, then whispered into his ear.

“You didn't tell these guys?”

“Ti—no—”

“You must receive a proper reply. But, take it easy, I'm doing this because you deserve it. Anyway, you I help, instead of saying thank you, even ngelakuin that kayak ginian.”

That afternoon for the first time Revelations returned to school quietly. Now he no longer had to fear bullies. In fact, he was determined to abolish the total practice of bully in his school.

However, Revelation is also still conscious, not only because he is capable, it does not mean he can also arbitrarily judge others. If he had to, he would do it.
